Wildfire S - blank screen bug?

Is this a known bug?
When I use the power management widget and toggle the screen brightness to the lowest. Then when I go to stand-by (by clicking powerbutton or automaticly) and try to activate the phone again the screen stays black (touch buttons light up but I can't use them).
I have to take out the batterie and reboot to get the screen back...

I'm so happy to see this.
I have exactly the same problem. My Wildfire S arrived this afternoon. I used it without any problems until about 22.30, then all of a sudden it wouldn't get out of standby anymore. The only way to get it working again is indeed by removing the battery for a second.
I did a factory reset (through the general phone menu) and now the problem has disappeared, but it could come back any second.
Other people experiencing the same problem?
This is a phone bought in the Netherlands where I live by the way, the black Wildfire S.

I had the same problem.
I had my wildfire s mount to usb... and using the navigon software while driving... then suddenly went to black screen with the keys activated.
I tried to enable the screen but with no luck.
When I unplugged the usb...I push the power button... and suddenly it came back to normal.
!!
very strange.

well... I found a sort solution for this.
If you do what you said.... the only way to enable it again is to plug a usb...and unplugged it.
!!!!!
The bug starting when we enable the lowest brightness!!!!!!!

I'm having the same problem. If you don't set the brightness to the lowest, it won't happen. So, this will be consideration between stability and use duration

Just the Backlight is turned off.
I have the same problem. Use an external light source and bring light to your wildfire S and you'see it is still alive. If you are able to find your brightness settings using the flashlight, increase it and you will have your old display again... It is definetly a bug.

Hi,
so any news on this bug or whether htc is doing something about it?
Just got my WF S with the most recent software and still has this bug which is very annoying. Would be great to be able to use lower backlight for nights/less battery!!

UPDATE: using continuous lightness, I found that whenever I choose light lower than 12% it stays dark and has the bug, please HTC do something about it!!!

Has this been fixed in a custom rom or does it presist in all roms?

I had it on original and custom (CM7.2) ROMS.
Think this is general bug, too bad. or someone does NOT have this bug??

I have this bug too. But u can Try to Pull the ring in the middel, Then the Screen shoudl appear again.

I do not have this bug.
Stock European ROM 2.3.5, jikantarus OC Kernel, BL unlocked and rooted

Notification when battery dies

My OG Doid used to play a nice loud notification sound when it turned off due to the battery dying. I can't remember if I set this up somewhere or if it just did this by default, but I really liked it. That way I knew I needed to swap out the battery. My GNex just dies a silent death and I have no idea that I'm missing calls. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the GNex to play a notification sound when it dies? Thanks.

I use the app Light Flow which lets me manage the LED light as well as notifications with sounds, including Low Battery.

It will beep and give you a huge pop up when you are down to 14% and then again at 4 or 5%. I don't know if the LED changes color or flashes, but I'm sure it does.
This is all automatic. No need to set it up.

Thanks for the suggestion. The funny thing is, I already use Light Flow to manage the LED notifications. I just never thought to use it for this. It's not quite the same as having the notification right as the phone is dying, but being able to set it to notify me when the battery is at 1% is close enough.

Thanks. I am all too aware of these earlier notifications, (in fact, if you know a way to turn them off or change the % at which they activate, I would love to do so). I really just need to know when the phone is dying.

Turn off notification for battery fully charged

I noticed on my Verizon G3 the other night that after the battery reaches 100% that the phone then continues to notify you with a vibration and a tone about every 10 seconds.. very annoying. Clearing the notification does not make it go away.. the only thing you can do is unplug. This is very annoying especially if you're like me and leave your phone charging all night long. It also turns the screen on for a few seconds every time the notification goes off.
I checked my wife's Sprint model and noticed she doesn't have this problem. Anyone else notice this and what model do you have? ...and have you found a solution?
For now I've been keeping my phone in a drawer so it doesn't wake me but Im thinking about putting it on an outlet with a timer.. Im assuming because this is not an AMOLED screen that we do not have to worry about screen burn in? or do we?
I've submitted a request to @P_Toti to hopefully get a mod to disable this using the G3 TweaksBox app.

My T-Mobile D851 does the same crap. So annoying.

Weird. My T-Mobile version doesn't do that.

That is strange.
If it helps.. I'm completely stock except for root and Xposed used to change the battery icon, alarm icon removed and I'm using a custom nav bar theme (Android L softkeys)

I'm completely stock.

Does it still do,it if the phone is on silent?

You can download Light Manager and turn it off.

Does it quiet mode, yes.

Light Manager is for the notification light. Whats happening is the phone vibrates, makes a tone, and turns the screen on every 10 seconds or so.
I noticed last night that it does eventually stop notifying after a while.. I think. I plugged in around 11pm.. some time around 4am it woke me up, I continued to monitor the notification trigger every ~10 seconds for about an hour.. I finally put it in the drawer so I can get some sleep.. when I woke up around 9am I noticed it was no longer notifying me every ~10 seconds that the battery was charged. So I'm not sure what's going on. I have my Verizon model and my wife's Sprint model (which doesn't have this problem) both using the same type of usb cable, charger and wall outlet so I know its not a low power issue coming from the charger.

My guess for the multiple notifications - it charges to full, vibrates and beeps to let you know the battery is full, which lowers the battery just a tad...and it recharges 10 seconds later, once again vibrating and beeping, which again lowers the battery...lather, rinse, repeat.
My G3 does it as well - irritating as hell. Even in silent mode it briefly turns on the screen when it reaches fully charged. I woke up last night to find my G3 turning on and off in a 2-second loop. The screen was like a slow-motion strobe light.
I hope someone finds a way to turn off the stupid battery charged notifications...

Mine does this too. Woke me up last night. I'd like to know how to make it stop besides throwing it on silent and turning it upside down.

So I just noticed last night that putting the phone on quite mode or silent works.. not sure why I didnt try that before.. guess it was because someone mentioned earlier that it didnt work for them. So thats my solution for now.. still would like to see some kind of Xposed mod for this.

Putting on silent isn't a good solution. What if there is a family emergency, etc. Some people are on call and cant do this either. I really cant believe LG implemented this without the option to disable it.
Would be great to identify what service is controlling that and maybe removing or blocking it under root mode.

Not silent but quite mode..it allows you to toggle on/off for notifications, calls and notification light. You can also set a white list for allowed contacts in case of emergency.

I rooted and found [ /system/media/audio/FullBattery.ogg ] and renamed this audio file. It'll still vibrate, but no sound now. When you long press the notification, it says its part of "System UI" so it looks like its not easily removable.

Well, that didn't work either.
This appears to be the only solution:
* root
* side load Xposed -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
* grab "G3 TweakBox" Xposed module from Play Store and check "Hide Battery Full Notification"

Already have this installed and selected when it started doing it... did a reboot and it seems to have resolved it for now, but I am wondering what caused it to start doing that...

This partially works. I don't get the notification or the sound, but it still vibrates. I'm going to play around more with this later this week when I have time.

Same issue
Same issue occurs for me, so I just wake up and unplug the phone when I get that message. Very annoying though, to not wake up with a full battery.

This is so annoying, can't believe LG didn't include an option to turn this off. So many of us leave our phones on the charger overnight - so we end up with frequent beeps and vibrations as it charges to 100%, then partially discharges and charges again a few minutes later
Silent mode or quiet mode isn't an option as I need to be able to receive calls for work - I can't whitelist every number that might call me

[Q] Annoying battery sound.

My Sprint Lg g3 makes a very annoying battery full repeating sound after a full charge.Since I charge my phone over night the tone wakes me up every night. How do I disable it? Theres nothing about a full charge menu anywhere. Help.

TweakBox for G3 will allow you to silence that, but requires root. Or you can set the phone to enter quite mode overnight (unless you need notifications overnight). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox&hl=en

Display on if charger plugged in and out - how to keep it dark?

Hi,
I really would like to stop that useless display-on-when-charger-plugged-in-or-out for some reasons:
1) I don't need that function - the G4 has a LED to show charging status!
2) Trekking with my G4 as a better Garmin is fun, but charging it with solar panel is a pain. Every cloud not only reduces current output of the solar panel, but switches the display on. Charging the device is nearly impossible because of that senseless waste of energy!
3) So am I to sell my G4 and use my old Galaxy S3, which perfectly stays dark whenever connected to power? Hopefully not.
Can anybody give me a hint how to keep the G4's display off?

Does'nt really anybody has an idea?

Still hoping....

It maybe a wakelock issue you may need to root access to fix....

No it has nothing to do with wakelocks! It's doing what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately neither G4 TweaksBox nor GravityBox have an option do disable it.

Put a request in on xposed forum for a module

H815 v20a Euro xx, My screen lights up when I connect charger, but then goes off after about 5 seconds, and the LED glows red.

Set the screen sleep time to 1 second?

Hey guys,
I found it included in Gravitiy Box! Thatˋs a great tool to make your smartphone smart
