Hi All,
I noticed that a couple of seconds to midnight the display of my Touch HD turns on.
I turns off as usual, but I think it's kind of strange.
Anyone had the same issue?
Is it harmful? somehow I don't trust it
Hope someone knows what s the cause.
Regard
Ramón.
Have a search on here - I think I've already seen someone talk about that. It's something to do with searching for updates or something like that.
Thanks, I searched before but didn't find it..
I tried again and found the thread.

It seems to be caused by GAlarm which I'm using.
Thanks for the tip.. feels good to know why this happening

My XDA mini s has suddenly started turning the flash on for no apparent reason.
It seems to flicker on and off with no pattern. I tried going into the camera app and switching the flash on and off but this doesn't make any difference.
I'm guessing there might just be a loose connection somewhere (which would be seriously annoying). Anyone have any cunning solution to this?
Cheers,
Gav
I can't help you I'm affraid but mine has just started doing exactly the same.
Sometimes its on but very dim and then flickers. It was doing it a minute ago and has now stopped.
I've had a good look though the forum but can't find anything.
yup, me too i'm afraid, thank god it's stopped for a moment, is driving me crazy. I reckon it must be a software issue as it doesn't seem to be a loose connection, maybe flashing the rom might help? Out of my league now though! cheers and good luck
Hi all,
I'm running OzDROID 2.0 for my rom, 2.10.50.26 for my radio, and Hyperdroid1.6 for Android. Also TMOUS. I just recently updated my rom from an energy build to this one (wanted a lighter, faster loading WinMo). I've been having a nasty problem with the screen not coming back on when it goes to sleep. The buttons light up when i press them, but the screen stays black. Just today alone, i've had to pull the battery FOUR times. Some days it's ok, some days it's a nightmare. I checked the hyperdroid post for a radio recomendation but couldn't see any. I've tried using SetCPU to adjust clock speeds using profiles for sleeping, etc in hopes that some obscure thing will work. no good. I mean, what if i see bigfoot and want to snap a pic but the screen doesn't turn on?
My only ideas left include:
-Formatting my 16gb SD card. (would like to avoid, but will do if people think it would help. I hate setting stuff back up)
-Getting Hyperdroid1.7. (Havent yet cause 1.6 w/ Cyanogen is pretty F'n awesome, and minus this problem, i LOVE it)
-Updating my radio. (Going to do this anyways as i randomly get the "robot voice" problem. I plan on upgrading to 2.12.50.02_2 unless anyone has better suggestions)
I just wanted to check here to see if anyone has one of those "Ohh, enable <enableable option>, dumbass!" fixes. I'm not that experienced with this phone stuff. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Searching is your friend. App tray->Settings->Display->Auto-Rotate to OFF/Auto brightness to OFF. This has been covered bajillions of times, the HD2 builds of Android have problems with rotation and the light sensor causeing the kernel to wig out and BSOD.
Sorry for inconveniencing you. If you had any idea how much time i've spent on here trying to figure it out, you'd understand why I decided to just ask this myself. I've had this problem for a month and am finally just now posting. If I found that anywhere I would have gladly done it. The funny thing is - those two ARE disabled, and have been. I dont like auto-rotate and auto-adjust brightness has always been off.
I even took the time to read the "similar posts" that are recommended after typing in the subject.
Since those two are off and my problem persists, I suppose I should format my SD card and try other stuff. So while that problem may have been covered "a bajillion times" it appears your solution is not the miracle cure and is probably a good reason as to why it's been asked "a bajillion times."
Why is it then when I tell people to search, they instantly peg me as some jackass just trying to pawn them off. This issue, the "black screen of death" or, "my phone wont wake from sleep under android" HAS INDEED been covered many, many times. It's cause by either what I just told you, or the particular kernel that you are running is one that tends to get stuck in the sleep mode and won't let the screen come back on. Seriously 9 times out of 10 the problem is caused by auto rotate or auto brightness.
Ashasaur is right but also none of the android versions are very stable anyway and eventually you will face this problem on all of them some sooner than others but they will eventually crash in one way or another

I don't doubt that, but when you reply to someone asking for help with a tone as if they are retarded, don't expect them to buy you flowers. Sorry this has been asked so many times but I feel i put good time into researching this problem and didn't see a problem asking a Question on a QUESTION and answer forum. Like i said, sorry i inconvenienced you and I do appreciate your response, however you did come across as a jackass. I understand you probably deal with a lot of crap as a forum mod, but I didn't post this intending to ruin your day. You can see my post count and gather from it that I don't spend days posting pointless questions. If I came across a solution that worked, this post wouldn't exist.
Try a different radio(2.11.50.20) seems to be doing good for me, also try copying your files to a better SD card. And there is a tab under Setting>Home>>Items that says Home Timeout: 4 Hrs... try unchecking that box. I am new to the HD2 also and trying to tweak it just right so it stops turning off in the middle of the night and making me late for work cause no alarm lol
Hi XDA,
I have a serious problem with my Galaxy Note: Every night I put the note in the docking station to charge it - and every night i get woken up by the note's display which tells me "Charging complete".
Is there any way to prevent / disable this? I had this phenomenon on Stock and now on KingDroid Notemania mod. I once read something (just can't find it anymore) when I was still on stock which helped about 95% of the time (some file was deleted). Anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks so much in advance!

there are a lot of postings regarding this, please use the search function!
simplest way: if you are rooted, delete the according sound file!
Hi,
thanks for the advice TML1504, but as I said: it didn't help all of the time. Sometimes, even when I deleted the soundfile, it kept happening. That's why I wanted to know if there is any other solution for this "problem". Also, I didn't really find any solution here in the forum (maybe I've been using the wrong keywords). Could you help me out? "Screen turns on after charge" didn't really get me the results that help me.
Thanks anyways,
Mad
just google for "galaxy note disable charged notification", i'm sure one of the methods will work! also, if you remove the correct file the notification WILL be gone! regards
Hi again,
Thank you, with those search results I did it last time. maybe it was just a coincidence it did not work out all the time. I was messing around with a lot of different roms back then
Thanks again,
Mad
Hi again,
went well for a couple of days (or at least I did not notice), but this night, around 4 o'clock my Note went bright as day an told me, charging was completed. So the soundfile I renamed "/system"media/audio/ui" "TW_Battery_caution.ogg" to "TW_Battery_caution.old" (like I found on Google with your advice) did NOT solve the problem.
Anyone else have any idea on how to fix the screen flashing up in the docking station when charging is completed?
Greetz,
Mad
I 'fixed' it by installing an app called Dock Clock from the store and so I get a nice bedside clock with a not-too-bright display instead. The app can be set to fire up automatically if the phone is put in a charging dock during a set time period.
Hi,
thanks for your reply!
Does this app really prevent the display to go bright when charging is finished? Could it really be that easy?
I'm already reading post's about decompiling SystemUI.apk and changing certain values. But those are obviously obsolete in ICS and only valid for Android 2.2...

Give it a try
Use No Moar Power by Chainfire. You can charge the phone with the device off and set a time you want the device to turn back on, aka right before your alarm goes off.
Hi,
@linker3000
I'll do
@Note_E
No, that doesn't help because I want to be able to get (emergency) calls, so I need my device powered on. But thanks for the suggestion anyway!
I don't understand why Samsung would sell this as a "feature" and not make it optional...
Greetz,
Mad
I wonder if you turned the phone so the screen was facing down, would the proximity sensor stop the screen from coming on.
Or try covering the sensor with the screen facing up and see what happens.

Before the flaming starts, I know there are threads about the screen refresh issues but think this may be different. Back in the day would call this a screen refresh issue but I've noticed a minor flicker at various times of use. Initially it seemed to occur only when using aldiko, but now I can't tell if it happens regardless of app.. or if my mind is playing tricks.
Anyway to test to see if there is a screen defect? Does rooting do anything to help fix it? Appreciate the help, save the flames for someone else please.

From what I can tell, I think it's a Tegra issue. Nothing in the software.
Hi everybody, I have a Moto X Pure (XT1575) with Stock ROM 6.0, and I'm having this weird issue. Every time I play some video on fullscreen, no matter what app, display turns off after a few seconds... And what's weirder, audio never stops playing and if I move the phone a little bit, screen turns on again... It's like the compass or gyro sensor has something to do with it... I was thinking about Moto app being responsible for this, so I turned on and off every option related to the Screen over there, in every possible combination...
Any other person with this rare issue??
Greetings!
did you solve your problem? I have the same issue as you. would you like to share your experience please?
I get this issue every once in a while. I just solve it by restarting the device. I am not sure what triggers it. I watch a lot of video on my phone every day and this only happens maybe once or twice a month. A google search will show that its been a known issue for a long time now.

No problem. In other forums people have suggested turning off Moto display and/or adaptive brightness but that has not worked for me. It still keeps happening occasionally. I Hope it's something that will be fixed in Android 7.
hope so, but it still need waiting for several months , and since my phone is Asian version, I guess I have to wait for much longer times... if your problem is solved after updating to 7.0, would you please to let me know? thank you!
