Hello thread, I recently ran into a roadblock, as earlier today i was customizing my Core Droid 5 build. I installed extended control and put the screen brightness widget on one of the sense screens. When i was selecting the type of control the screen brightness had i set it to custom and with a %, i tapped on it and it went from 32% to 62% to 100% and then i tapped it once more, the screen went black. I pressed the screen once again in the same stop and it came back.
Now my issue is when i was chaning the brightness, it went to black again, and i cannot get it out, i rebooted the phone and now when it loads the rom it is stuck on black after it says Android.
Is there any way to resolve this by editing something with ought loading android, and keep all my setting, i loved the build and had everything set to my liking, all the apps everything, i periodically back up my setting and apps but this week i didint :S
Please help! Thank you

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Sapphire (HTC Magic from Vodafone UK). Problem with it this morning stopping me using it so urgently need some help!! I've included all details I can think of below to help someone diagnose the issue.
Been a very happy CM user for several months now and upgraded to 5.0.8 just a week or two ago. I did a full backup and wipe and haven't had any problems with it until last night.
Just before going to bed I noticed when pushing the menu/red button to turn the screen on, the keypad lights would light up but the screen wouldn't turn on. This happened a couple times in the last week but taking the battery out and restarting resolved it before. So I did that last night and it started up again and I went to sleep.
This morning I went to use the phone and it seemed a little strange, like some of my settings were back to default (security lock pattern went red when wrong, no battery % in title etc.), but the phone worked and I could make a call.
I then tried to configure the settings but as soon as I tried to enter any category I got FC's in the Settings app. So I restarted...(strangely silent/airplace modes weren't options, only reboot/switch off)
This time after the red Vodafone boot logo the phone got stuck in a boot loop - (CM specific: the 4-colour X swirl would be OK but after 3/4 silver X swirls the 4-colour one would start again) and this continues until pulling the battery out.
Left battery out a while but no help.
Went into recovery console and wiped cache - startup took a lot longer but still eventually got stuck in a restart loop.
Will reflashing CM help? Should I bother with a wipe (would rather not cause no backup!)
ANY OTHER IDEAS??? I'm really stuck/frustrated/depressed right now as this is my only phone and I'm not even living in my home country so am really cut off right now.
Thanks to anyone in advance.

Earlier today I downloaded a transparency widget from the market it makes any app you put on your home screen transparent and about 15 minutes after I tried it and took it off my home screen I started getting a notice from watch dog for Android media process background exceeded threshold which is set to 30%.As soon I turn my screen on it pops up I have then deleted that app and have not downloaded any other apps and have been using cm7 7.0.2 since it came out with no problems.I cleared all data from adw ex so it would delete anything from the screen and start everything over my display under battery use is at 18% this is driving me crazy has anyone had this problem or know what I can possibly do I have rebooted numerous times and really trying to avoid factory reset.
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.
Help! my 15 month old Umi Super shut itself off (battery almost full) and now won't reboot. The Umi logo appears as normal, then goes to the pulsing android thing. and stays like that for a few minutes until the screen goes blank. I have to hold the power button for a couple of minutes to start the sequence again.
I haven't rooted it (wouldn't know how, or feel confident doing so) Only thing I've done recently was update the OS to Nougat, using the update feature on the phone, so it's completely unmolested apart from the update. Since then, I've lost the fast charge facility, and it auto-locks the screen, and won't display the clock overnight, like it used to do. And all the settings menus have radically changed (for the worse). Can't even turn off the Auto-lock feature, just set the delay.
Is the update to blame? Can I undo it and revert to Marshmallow? Can someone please help? All my contacts are in the phone memory...
Sorted!
Don't know what happened but it eventually rebooted itself. I then deleted all the recently installed apps, and it's now working again. Must have been a rogue app, but I don't know which one. Slowly and methodically worked through the setup menu and found, in the Security submenu, some settings I hadn't previously found and was able to set a safe location at home where it doesn't Autolock. I have my phone back! And I take it all back. Nougat is a big improvement on Marshmallow, once you know how it works. Happy Days!
