I have a problem with my screen:
when i press the power button to wake the screen, it lights up and then blacks down again, it doesn't matter how i press the button (how long i press and so on).
it happens sometimes, sometimes not, but happens more frequent than NOT happening so it's quite enervating.. usually i have to try to light up the screen 2 or 3 times before it works..
This problem i had before i flashed to a new rom too, but i didn't do a wipe when flashing so can this be a problem from software or does it seem to be hardware?

Screen wake issues or the screen on/off animations are known issues. If your flashing a different rom its always recommended you do a full wipe. That in itself could solve your problem. Also posting the rom your using and the settings (if you have it over clocked) would be very helpfull when posting a problem your having. If you disable the screen animations it will work fine. If you like the animations and have your phone overclocked you may want to try adjusting that also. There are several post on screen wake issues that could possibly help you in this forum.

go for a wipe and fresh reinstall of the rom always works for me when i have problems
You can also try turning off automatic Brightness . it worked for me
I have tried all of your tips except for a clean install, nothing of it worked.
i try to avoid a clean install since i am really satisfied with my homescreen layout and all my apps i have now

A wipe is recommened for a reason. It avoids threads like this being put up. You can't complain about something not working correctly if you haven't even followed the install instructions.

I use 5 minutes to set up my phone minutes after a clean installation. use titanium and bookmarkSB to backup your stuff.

so here are my specs:
Cyanogen's 3.4 and his 1.2 recovery rom.
H's SPL and the newest radio.
Hero 1.2 theme.
So the problem I've been running into lately (which is the past few days) is that my screen just shuts off all of the sudden.
Like as I'm scrolling and reading news from the USA Today app, the screen shuts off and goes blank as if it was locking the screen.
I press menu of course to wake up my screen/phone and my phone seem normal.
This also happens when I get a notification for an email then click it and instead of it opening my gmail, the screen goes blank like mentioned above.
And when i press menu to wake it up, the screen that my phone is on is the gmail app.
Another instance is when I'm twitdroid and want to click a twitpic link to see a pic, it goes blank again. When I wake it up, it's at the twitpic page in the browser.
It's so odd to me because I'm physically using the touchscreen and then my screen goes to sleep. Before it happened my once in awhile, now it's more consistent... and getting rather annoying.
I've also been getting more lag during transitions.
Anyone else run into this? Know of any fix or why this happens?
Is it the theme? Transitions?
thank in advance
It might help to post a log from around the time the undesired backlight/screen shutting off is occurring.

Have you tried to reflash your current ROM? Wipe? Try a different ROM?
These are basic troubleshooting steps you should attempt before creating a new thread.

anywho... my OP was a legitimate question and for good reason
thanks for trying to help though
i've been having these problems too. for the screen backlight problem, i just rebooted and it seems to work fine now. but the lagging is quite annoying at times, especially the gmail app.

Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.
I just bought a used HD2 1024 in perfect condition which already had android installed.
As told by previous owner, and also experienced by me, I am having freezing issues at the lock screen when waking up the phone from the sleep state. When phone turns on, I try to slide the bar down to unlock and go to the home screen, but it seems frozen and doesn't respond to touch. I have turn off the display and try again numerous times to make it work, or reboot it to make it work. This doesn't happen all the time, but does happen regularly.
In the CW menu, I tried doing factory reset, wiping cache, wiping dilvik cache, and tried installing multiple ROMs, but still no luck.

not necessarily is that the issue, dependant on the rom being used it could just be the wakeup delay that was an issue in early rom builds
The freezing or touch problem only occurs during wake/lock screen. It works perfect fine during regular use. Is it still a hardware problem that could be causing this?

might be worth trying a different rom and seeing if it is still there
Hope that is just a temporary thing, otherwise you may have to pay HTC to fix it.
I had the same issue before. But after i change to "MccMBoxmaX GS V6.5 Gingerbread 2.3.3 [Sense 2.1+3.0] 3D Effect", this problem almost didn't happen at all. Maybe you can give it a try..
I'm having temporary screen freezes when I want to take out my HTC HD2 with tytung's ICS version. When I press the buttonss they light up but the screen stays black. I can still receive phone calls and connect it to a PC, where the PC recognizes the phone. Sometimes after 20-30 minutes the wakes up like normal when I press a button.
Does anyone know the cause of this and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Has your screen been unresponsive lately ?
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993787
I think your end button .. is dying?
It is not just the end button. None of the buttons give a response although they light up when I press them. Sometimes after 10 minutes or half an hour the phone is responding again.

Does this happen on every ROM? Also try flashing another kernel. It may be driver or hardware related.
It also happened with the previous ROM from Tytung. I disabled wifi for 2 days now and the problem has not occured yet. Normally it occured every day. Can it have something to do with WIFI?
i have had the same issue, and for me the only solution was to flash a new rom. if you're going to do that: try miui, i think it is very good(as soon as you've fixed all the problems with it it works perfect)
Did you try a clean install with task 29 before?
I only did the task29 the first time I started flashing a rom. After that I only changed the partition size once and updated from the zip file. What will another task29 do?
I have wifi disabled now for 4 days and haven't had the problem again. It seems that other people also have this issue, but is there no solution?
Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
