I had widget locker installed, it was working great since yesterday. Today this problem started.
Once the screen goes off/sleep, I can not turn it back on. Using either the home or power button. I removed widget locker, and set the home action back to ADW Launcher.
The phone is seemingly still working, because I was on a 10 min phone call, but after the screen would not come back on, so I couldn't end the call or use it at all. I have to pull the battery, and turn the phone on to use it, of course that's only useful until the screen goes off again lol.
Any ideas? I am going to wipe it/reapply the rom tonight to see if that fixes it, but not sure how it could be software now since the only new app lately was widget locker and I've uninstalled it. I also got rid of NoLed just in case it was that, although it wasn't enabled.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I also noticed something while using Widgetlocker, sometimes when i unlock my screen, the "BACK" softkey when pressed does not vibrate the phone! the menu one does... I need to lock the screen and unlock again and voila... its working
Seems like Widgetlocker is bringing lots of problems
check what software you have installed recently
most likely one of those apps is keeping the screen off

Well the ones I installed recently was Widget Locker. Before that I didn't have the problem, and I've removed that app. I haven't installed anything else in the past day.
I was just reading about setcpu potentially having this problem. Which would be weird since I've had that installed for a week and just now am having issues. I'm playing with it's settings now.
you can always to a quick format and restore the settings to ROM default
*2767*3855#
and reinstall each app, to see which one caused the problem

Hey guys/gals!
I have been rooted since the second week and just started noticing this.
I have removed voodoo and still notice the same problem.
This is what happens.
The screen will go blank and I can still touch the soft keys and they illuminate but don't actually get pressed (as in I don't get the feedback). I wait 30 seconds and try to turn the screen on, and it will act like I just returned back from the Airplane mode.
This started happening ever since I used the clockr widget, oneSeven widget, and desktop visualizer to do the wp7 style icons. I am not sure if any of this caused the problem but I started having this problem since I started using these items.
Thanks for all the help.
I have developed a small lockscreen problem. I can't get the lock screen to come up anymore. When i go into standby through time out of pressing power the screen just goes black and doesn't kick into the lockscreen anymore.
I'm sure its a software error and a re-image would fix it but i'd like to fix this without having to do this.
I'm using mdj gingerbread cyanogenmod 7 v2.3 NAND. The rom itself works perfectly and i've had no problems until now.
I have noticed that the fade out screen that is on this rom doesn't happen any longer. When i press power the screen just goes black. then i press it again no matter the wait the screen just comes straight back on where i left it
Checked through cyanogenmod settings and the lockscreen is set to instant after standby and time out but still nothing.
help i've been calling and e-mailing the world from my pocket!
I don't know what your problem is but I am willing to bet that the issue has been caused by an app that you have downloaded and is now conflicting with the lockscreen. Have you downloaded and lockscreen replacements (eg Widget Locker), or maybe a screen off app (eg Screen Off)?
Either way, perform a restore and you'll be fine.
You did backup your system didn't you?!
Its not from a lock screen app but from a general app just not sure which one. Removed my last few installed apps but its no different. Everything is backed up I'd just rather try and fix the problem and wait to reimage when 2.3 with sense comes out. There has to be a way

I have the same problem. it happend the first time yesterday on Typhoon CM7 2.2 build. so I figured that it must have been an error in that build, so I updated to Typhoon CM7 2.3.3 today, and it was fine until for 10 minutes ago, but now it's back, I tried calling my phone from another phone, but nothing came up other than the backlight, there's still sound and vibration, but no display picture. :S
Lol Ive fixed this now there is an option in battery indicator pro that disables the lock screen. I accidently disabled the lock screen
Please close the thread

i was just about to post it could be that app, i did it on mine last week
Hi!
I just had a very weird bug. Suddenly when I pressed the home button the stock clock app (which I think is useless by the way) opened. When I pressed again the phone didn't switch to my home screen but stayed in the clock app.
When I tried to put the phone in standby and wake it up again my lock screen didn't show up, it was the stupid clock again.
I rebooted my phone and now everything is like it should be...
I'm running 2.3.4 (not rooted) with Launcher Pro.
Anyone else familiar with this problem?
I believe that you can set home button behavior in Launcher Pro. Not sure about the lock screen though.
I've had the same issue, always resolves itself though, especially after a reboot. Odd bug but doesn't occur enough to bother me.
But I agree the clock app seems largely useless, I have no wish to leave my phone screen on all night, and I can access alarm clock, gallery etc fine without.
I had this issue in January when I first got the phone, I guess on 2.3.1 or so. Anyways, the buttons did random things, and launching App A would result in App C launching instead, if you get what I mean. For example, I'd try to open Dolphin browser and Youtube would come up instead. I'm not sure why this occurred, and a simple restart fixed it. I wouldn't worry too much unless it keeps happening.
I only had it happen to me the one time.
I'm also experiencing this on my Nexus S, First the Car/Dock Mode appeared out of nowhere. It literally just launched itself while I was working at my desk! Now the home button pen up the clock App. Windows can't even detect the Nexus S now. No "you phone is plugged, mount it?" dialog box.
help!

Okay so I think I may have found a solution. I set my Nexus S beside my iPad 2 last night before going bed. I think it may have been the caused of magnets. yup. magnets. So I tried contacting both together. The iPad 2 reacted and lit up its screen and voila the Nexus S home button now works as a HOME and not a CLOCK button! I know its a little weird, may just be a coincidence for all I know! But mine works fine now.
Try it and let us know if this works for you!
Let me resurrect a dead thread here with a new solution. I began building my roms from source on the NS4G and immediately this bug appeared in them. Funny thing is only on my phone none of the testers had this issue. I decided to overwrite desk clock with desk clock pro on the market for free, and it knocked out the bug, and I still have my alarms for work.
Android 2.3, 407band, DSC 7.0 rom, Go launcher (default), Zeam launcher (secondary)
Today while using an app called wallbase, I hit the home button while the app was setting a wall paper for me (normally I wait until it says wallpaper set). The home screen popped up but then Go launcher had a FC error (which it has never had since I've been using it). It had the option fc or wait I hit wait. Next my wall paper went black then my screen followed by two vibrations and a notification sound I never heard my device make.
I rebooted to the lock screen with a black background and no service on the screen. It was unresponsive to my touch and after about 10sec. it gave the same two vibrations and sound from before then shut the screen off. The power button did not turn on the display so I had to hold it down for about 20sec for it to reboot to dell logo. From there i went into nandroid and flashed severals roms loaded to the lock screen, rinse/repeat, to find the same result (simple streak, streakroid, older version of dsc).
I reset permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, calibrated screen. Want to avoid a factory reset because I don't have a backup.
Help guys? Mods please move to the appropriate forum.
If all fails and you don't have another alternative.
install the DSC v0.70 update, it shouldn't delete your 'data'.
I would backup your streak, better be safe than sorry.
So I tried letting it sit with the battery out for the night (6 hours) and booting it up this morning with the ac charger. It loads to the same lock screen (standard screen with black background and no service on screen) and all my start up apps loads, it even showed me a text notification. I did notice that the time was wrong though and never changed.
Any one have this issue before? What suggestions are there to combat this? The G.Note doesn't fit into my budget right now. May have to factory reset this and sell it as a last resort.
Help guys?
Outlook for this issue looks grim. Seem others with a similiar issue on different devices have had to factory reset or return it to manufacturer.
Before I do that, is there are any possible way for me to backup some of my app data?
Anyone know if Dell still helps with this device?
I use the app cadrebible often(its the only one I really care about) but it doesn't auto sync/backup and my last manual backup must be from Dec2011 - yea makes me want to cry.
I can load into fastboot, so is there a way I can uninstall a few apps I suspect are causing the issue? Move files from the phones to the sd card/computer?
factory reset. Mod feel free to close thread. -- yes im crying.
Did you try calibrating the touch screen?
My phone shows ALL of my notifications for ALL of my apps on BOTH the second screen and primary screen. I tried turning the apps on silent and it didn't work. No one else seems to have this problem. It looks very cluttered on both screens and I want it to only show in the second screen. It used to do that fine when I bought the phone but a month later it stopped. My phone is not rooted and I didn't touch or download anything I shouldn't have. I turned it off to charge the phone one day and when I turned it back on this started happening.
Are you talking about the big heads-up notifications that appear at the top of the main screen?
I think those are just on by default, I don't know of a way to disable that from the UI, but you can do it through adb or a terminal emulator, root isn't required. See here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/manually-doing-ui-tuner-t3493986/post69510885.
I think thats part of the latest update. I have my phone rooted and currently using overdrive latest rom but in previous versions it didnt have that.
