I got a locked screen when using the tytn. I think it went blank and I reset it - display went blank and is backlit

I am getting a blank screen randomly when using the TyTN. The display goes blank and is backlit. I often have to Soft Reset to get the display back. I have the latest ROM 1.35
Is this a know issue? if so, how can I get it fixed?
thanks!

In my case, the system goes to sleep and the only way to wake it up is a soft reset. I have had this problem with other versions of ROMs as well, but it does not happen if I do not allow the system to go to sleep, thus I use my battery more quickly than I would like.
still puzzled
How do you stop the system from sleeping? Do you mean turning off??
I too have this issue. The phone will not "wake up" and the only way to continue use is to soft reset the phone. I am on Cingular with 1.34.
These freezes are often caused by active sync running all by itself. Providing you do not use push mail see the following thread:
see my post here - you need to follow each step carefully and consider the auto soft reset at a time before alarms are due.

I just got AMEO from T mobile which I believe the same as HTC advantage.
despite of being SIM locked by T-mobile, I am experiencing another problem in waking up the device after it goes into sleep mode.
After I left the device idle for few minutes, it turn the whole screen off. (not only the back lit).
I can see the LED for BT/wifi still blinking.
But no matter which button I press, it couldn't be turn on at all.
As final resolve, I have to soft reset the device every time after it sleep!!!
Can some experts here advise me? is it a defective unit? or some other settings are wrong? Do I need to return it to the vendor?
I don't want to keep the device always on by disabling the auto off feature in power setting either.
Does someone have the same problem like me?
Thanks for any advise in advance.
What happens if you put it on the keyboard while "asleep"? Even if it means taking it off there first.
If doing that and pushing the power button fail to turn it on, it's a defective unit.
it's the same problem even i attach it to the keyboard.
a bit funny though, if i press the power button from the side to turn it off. I won't have any problem to turn it on.
but if i leave it to auto off mode, then i can't turn it on until resetting it from the back hole.
can it be improved if I flash to other ROM?
My Ameo does it occasionally - I find that (re)attaching the keyboard tends to bring it out of sleep better than pressing the power button. I get the impression that by pressing the power button, it sometimes gets confused that its still on and tries to turn itself off (even when it is already off). Tends to lead to a reboot every few days though. Waiting (fingers x'd) for WM6 to see if it behaves better.
do you guys have this option
settings>button>lock
try to toggle the checkbox to see if it helps
I'll try it! I found it under Settings/System Tab, 'Key Lock' icon.
I'll report back within the week.
I can confirm that it doesn't help my AMEO.
anyway, thank for your thought.

To digital:
can I ask for a favor from you. could you try to make the device auto power off without sim card in.
and see whether u will have the exact problem i have or more frequent it dead...
due to my unit is locked to T mobile network, i still haven't put any sim card in.
Tried it without simcard in but it still turns on ok after the fix. TBH, sounds like you're getting the issue more than me - mine only does it occasionally (once every couple-3days) and as yet, I've not managed to locate a consistent cause. I'll keep my eye on it though with the fix and let you all know how I get on.
the other thing that i can think of out of at the moment is that you are running some prog from the sd card/microdrive in the background so when you try to switch your device on then it does not get started and hence the problem...
try tweaks2k (you can use the trial version)
it has a bunch of settings for this... (just check that it is compatible with ameo first)
install 'screenoff' and assign to one of the button.
it works fine.
have to make work around like this now. no idea why this problem only happen to my AMEO...
anyway, thanks for all of u!

I have a similar problem. My device does not wake up in one case from 10 approximately.
Frequency of occurrence of a problem decreases if to close the phone's program compulsorily.
In other branch to me have told, that the problem can be because of the Active Sink's program. Have allowed advice to disconnect automatic start of this program. But I cannot check up because my program all the same is started if to switch off an option of the automatic device. :-(
hard reset can solve the problem completely. ;-)
I'm pleased to say that the 'button' tweak posted here has worked... So far!
Thanks Gents (and lasses if there are any).
That happened to me too yesterday.
I hard reset it and reinstalled everything to microdrive now. (trying to eliminate the possiblity of compaction thread) Removed SPB Pocket plus, which I've come to be quite suspecious by now. Also removed true VGA. So far I have not got a single freeze yet, touch wood. If it runs okay for a few more weeks with no freezing, will put back true VGA and see how it goes again. Will try to isolate the offending software bit by bit.
Hi,
I've had the same problem with my Advantage
After some weeks of test i have found how to solve the problem on my Advantage. perhaps it's only works on mine but you can try.
i have installed "all" progs on memory and not on microdrive. on microdrive i have only a few exe like wififofum or progs not intend to run when i turn my Athena off.
then no more problem waking up my athena.
I think the problem could be that microdrive cause a time out or thing like this when we wake up the PDA then athena freeze waiting about datas from microdrive.
then for me now it's programs like browsers, sscontact, traylaunchers etc .. => memory
programs like painting tool, etc ... => microdrive and close (kill process) them before sleep mode.
and all is ok now for me. The only freeze in 1 week was Pocket IE freezing (but the reason is pocket IE sucks)
There was actually another point that I forgot to mention concerning the freezing. I found out that the free miniSD card came with the bonus pack was actually faulty. With the pocket mechanic professional benchmark, I managed to see only less than 200kb/s read and write! I did a hard reset, and installed everything on microdrive, and touch wood, I have not got a single reset or freezing yet these two days. I install nothing into memory, as we all know that it takes up to 2 seconds to write a block of data into NOR ROM, which is why we should always shift our directory of IE cookies/history/cache away from the main memory. Since the main memory (NOR ROM) is good for executing program in place but terrible in writing, Microsoft's MikeCal thinks we should not keep any data there. (See this thread: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/03/16/552996.aspx ). I try to keep the memory as free as possible to minimise compaction thread kikcing in. Will see how it goes in the next couple of weeks and take on from there.
I'm happy to confirm that, after a weeks testing, the button 'fix' seems to have resolved the issue! Thanks all.
I have been experiencing similar problems.
After being left on standby for a period of time (>10mins), the unit sometimes goes into "autistic" mode.
i.e:
Power button does not function. Unit GSM light flashes, but will not resume from sleep.
I've tried the following:
Attaching USB cable. No change.
Attaching keyboard. No change.
Calling phone. No change.
Soft reset. Starts ok.
I have now tried:
Settings/System/Key Lock
- set to 'Do not lock buttons'
However, I suspect ActiveSync.
The unit was attempting to Sync every 5 minutes, while connected with a USB cable. I therefore followed advise (read elsewhere) to create a dummy server to allow an ActiveSync schedule to be created, then deleted.

This is coincident with the start of the problem.

I had same problem once I enabled Key Lock function.
However, once I disable key lock, it works fine again.
I use Froyo 2.1 build, after I press power key to turn off screen, if I press the power key again in short time, the device wakeup will take a long time (about 5 seconds), sometimes even not wakeup (due to timeout in the lockscreen and screen turns off again I guess), then I have to press the power key again and wait, normally it will take about 4 seconds to turn on the screen.
I tried to turn off setCPU and ATK completely, but not works, still long time to wake up.
is there a solution to this? everything works fine except this
thanks in advance!
I also have this issue. I tried many builds but there is always lag. No build will wake up so fast as WinMo but I think its the limitation of running OS from SD Card. Maybe I`m wrong but I think internal memory has lower latency so windows wakes up immediately and android always takes some time..
I want to know is there anyone do not have this long delay before wakeup? if there is, please tell me, thanks!
these are known issues and there is no fix , most of time things like this come
from human error
Yeah these are known issues with the Froyo builds. Will probablyget fix somewhere down the line.
The best thing to do now is to be patient with it. I find the more frustrated I get with it, the worse it gets. What I mean is if I keep hitting the hangup/unlock button to try to get it to wake, it takes longer to awake.
Also someone has posted that a possible problem is with Advanced Task Killer settings. If you have that program set to kill apps during sleep, it could cause a hang on wake. Also I believe auto screen rotate could have an effect.
I am sure that in time the situation will be resolved, as will every other minor bug and glitch.
The only solution I have foudn to this problem is to use shub 1.4c or d. It usualy turns on the first press, if it doesn't I press the button again(b/c usually the backlight goes on on the first press just nothing shows up on the lcd) then wiat a couple seconds and it goes on. I also have minimal TS freezes w. that build while with other builds they are common
disable autorotate. i had this even in shubcrafts builds, sometimes it woiult be within have a second, sometimes id see the screen power up but and go greyish, then a few seconds later id get the lock screen. from time to time, though i wouldnt get the lock screen and it just power down again.
since disabled auto rotate, its been pretty consistant at showing the lockscreen quickly.
The devs know about these problems, they are bveing worked on.
this is the major problem for me, but I still can not find it in any build's known bug/issue list, does the developer guys really know this? or it's only the problems shown in our devices?
If any of you have installed Battery Indicator, try to uninstall it and see if it help.
I used to have Battery Indicator to disable screen lock, after I uninstalled it, the problem is gone.
I have had the same issue with all the roms i tried ... but recently on shubcraft 1.5, i ve found out that when pressing the end key and that nothing shows on the LCD but the keyboard backlight is on, you can unlock as usual by doing the slide pattern on the black screen (you can feel it vibrate when you hit the spot before sliding).
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I'm using FroyoStone 2.1 with kernel r9 and have the same issue.
I can confirm your finding that it's indeed the backlight that doesn't light up and unlock can be done anyway...
Dev's please fix this backlight issue...
BIG THANKS!
I had this annoying issue and tried almost all the builds and finally the build in the following link worked well. Note : This is a nexus ROM without sense and FM radio. Very snappy and no wakeup delay for me.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773790
Yes, same here. Using mattc 1.1 clean
hate it.
I have this problem either , Shubcraft 1.5 , also during calls , sometimes it take more than 5 seconds to wake the screen after you take it off from your ear .

Can you try waking up your phone with the YES/SEND key? (instead of power key)
Please provide feedback if this makes a difference.

Thx a lot.. The Call button wakes up the phone much faster than the default Power button.
Is is possible that a low memory situation can cause this? My HD2 was running perfectly then out of nowhere the long wake and wake screen freeze started to appear. I have been troubleshooting it for 2 days now. I just noticed that my available memory show in Taskiller was 109mb. I had seen that low memory situation before during a freeze period and not paid any attention to it. But I do know that after I reboot the phone its perfect again w/ 200+mb.
Anyone else notice this?
Has any progress been made on this matter in recent builds? Running shubcraft 1.5, and still having major troubles with it about 2 out 3 unlocks..
Try disabling any & all task killers, what I think is happening is that something gets killed when it shouldn't. I had the same issue to the point of going back to Winmo and as a last resort just disabled all those and then went with a static wallpaper (no live). The problem disappeared and now the battery last much longer.
Hey,
I don't know why but sometimes my Power Button won't turn off my phone. Well ..actually not even the "Touch Control" Method works. But pressing it for ~5sec (whatever) makes the phone reboot. So the button is functionable.
Also my mobile data sometimes doesn't work .. no signal at all. I recieve sms , can make a phonecall and WiFi etc still works. But not 2g/3g.
I'm using rooted Stock ROM with Stock Launcher and "eXperience Pro" + "Touch Control" App if that does matter.
Can somebody explain it to me :<?
Thanks in advance

It's called a BSOD- Black Screen of Death. It has to do with the Touch Control app.
For the signal thing, reinstalling the stock ROM.
Hey, thanks for your response.
But wait the Screen is ON. I can't turn it OFF. I can open apps like always but it just don't turn off :/

Oh.. I misread that.. Sorry
Still related to touch control. The app messes up the touchscreen.
Hm okay thanks ..can't live without the app anymore. But why does it mess with the Power Button?
It happened again and now touch control wasn't even installed :/.. And I rebooted my phone. What the heck is wrong here

First of all, i appreciate anyone who takes the time and reads this.
I have the same issue, and always had when installing mods in the past. The phone becomes irresponsive and laggy at times, even though when you flash the rom at the start it is buttery smooth and battery life is amazing! It seems that this is always short lived, however, and I am constantly having problems flashing ROMs on my phone (Both my current Galaxy Nexus and prior Galaxy SII). I would love to tell you my kernel but at the moment the POWER button is as well not responding. So much so that i can't turn the phone on!! :crying: Any help would be appreciated. I've tried taking the battery out, and putting it back in and ive also tried booting the phone via usb without the battery. Nothing's working. The battery is responsive, however, it displays the battery meter (while charging) when i click the power button once. It just doesn't respond when i hold it down to try and turn the phone on.
Many thanks!!

Hey.
For me, as I already mentioned, it doesn't turn off.
But I'm pretty sure that I found the issue : experience pro. When I try to take a screen shot of my screen on time it doesn't make one and the power button won't do ANYTHING UNTIL I press volume down or up ones. So for me it's the change track when pressing volume feature. Maybe it'll help. Greetings.

For some reason my screen won't shut off when I press the power button or by itself after any amount of time. I made sure all of the settings were set right that might keep it on. I know it's not hardware damage because I've pretty much never dropped it or handled it hard. The power button still works because it will get the turn off, restart, etc screen to go. Any idea how to fix it? I already did a factory reset.

Dial *#0*# check some test for dimming, sleep etc.

Download wakelock detector and see which app is keeping your screen on.
Dialed that number, the dimming worked, but the sleep button didn't do anything. I'll try that app out and see what it says.
In my understanding *#0*# dialing is for hardware check, if sleep is not working from there means it has nothing to do with any app & better to take to service centre.

It didn't do it until after I tried to change my boot screen. Know if that would do anything? No boot animations go off besides the galaxy note 3 one (no Tmobile or samsung animation, and no shut off animation). I also rooted it so would they still help me even though the knox counter is 0x1?
Any help? Using the wakelock app it says that system manager application is used a lot more than anything else. Not sure what it does.

Try to flash complete stock ROM & clear Data & Catch before & after flashing from recovery may HELP.
That fixed it. I'm not sure why I didn't already try that since it seems kinda obvious. Don't know what made it do that though. Do you happen to know if modifying the boot animations can mess other things up?
Mine its not rooted still stock and all of the sudden started acting up with the screen ....i did the *# test and when i went to sleep it went straight to the lock screen ...any idea what could cause it

Mine does this every time I reboot my phone. I have to press and hold the home key, pick the pie chart, pick RAM and pick "Clear Memory". Then it's fine til the next time I reboot.
I had my note 3 with the same problem and solved it recovering the original system/media/bootsamsung*.qmg files.
to solve the problem plug the charger and unplug it immediately and plug it back in again. This is also the reason why the problem is caused. So doing it again will solve the problem.
