it only does that when i have NoLED installed, with missed alerts enabled
as in it goes back to sleep, then every now and then it flashes for like 1 sec, then goes back to sleep to conserve battery

no, it's not. the phone is completly turned off! then you press on/off button rapidly, and the screen flashes

Uh... I don't feel like powering my Nexus off to test but why do you care? It's probably firing up the display thinking you're about to turn it on but then you don't hold down the button long enough so it just turns the display back off. Why would you ever want to do this lol... at least with this phone you have to hold the power button down a few secs to turn it on unlike the nexus one, which just turns on at the slightest press of the power button (annoying)

How about you don't press the power button rapidly. There is absolutely no reason why you should be doing that. Its like saying "When I try to drive my car on its roof, it won't go!" Well of course not you sod. Just don't do the thing that is pointless and silly.

EXACTLY! same thing i feel. OP is making a big deal out of nothing; not even sure why you would try and push the power button fast when the phones off.

how hard can it be to understand, let's make a guide:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Press the on/off button a couple of times
3. look at the screen, is it flashing white?
I noticed this last night when i turned the phone off, i didnt do it on purpose.
So can someone please try because im worried thats something wrong with my new nexus!
Thanks

Just to satisfy your curiosity, I can confirm that mine doesn't do what you're saying.

sounds like faulty unit to me
my phone does not do that
you press the button once when it's off it will continue to boot all the way into the OS even if you hold or quickly trigger happy pressing the buttons all crazy it does not make it flash

First off, I can't reproduce it and I'm not going to waste any more time trying.
Second, here is a guide for YOU!
1) You accidentally did something silly to your phone and got a strange result.
2) Don't do that again.
3) Continue to not do the stupid pointless thing again.
4) Continue to continue not doing the stupid pointless thing again.
5) Continue to continue to continue not doing the stupid pointless thing again.
6) Stop trying to convince people this is a serious issue and get on with your life.
7) Realize that there is nothing wrong you just did something stupid with it and are continuing to try to reproduce the stupid thing you did once to prove that its a problem instead of avoiding the stupid thing you did once and getting on with your life.

To the OP: does it flash when you don't have the battery in? Just want to make sure... heh.

Looks like there is no option to select to do sleep on/off.
that's what i actually need.
When phone is off, i can turn it on with reset hole. I don't need to be able to turn off phone. reset is enough.
I only need it to go to and off sleep. Now i am running it always on which is draining battery fast, couple of hours even with brightness lowered to 20%.
plsssss
I did try what brandonledski mention. but looks like it will only turn of screen but not on.
i could make you a shortcut under start menu for the power options as im not sure about being able to map it to another button
How i will turn on screen then ?

oo crap ya i forgot about that ahahah lol ill look into this for you

and set it so no keys are locked

so now we have a half solution
wait,... i got it!!!
i assigned left button hold for screen off on,... looks like its working!!!!
im testing it now,...
EDIT
Hm,.. i am using Phone Alarm and its adjusted to Shut Down after 15sec. If its shut off automatically with Phone Alarm i cant use AE Button to turn it ON. Hm i guess these are different functions?

AE Button only works when your phone is on, to cold boot your phone you would have to hit the reset button

So i guess ill adjust Phone Alarm setting not to shut off display, leave ON, then do it manually every time i need with AE buttons
EDIT:
Hm,... so i adjusted Phone Alarm not to touch power options,.... AE works for ON/OFF Display, but looks like when its off for some time i cant turn it on any more,.... only if i am switching it off/on one after another
EDIT: Actualy problem was Auto Locking app, as soon as phone is locked i cant ON any more,.... ill try to see if i can add exception in this auto locking app ( its CSDevCtrl APP)
Lock all buttons was an option available for older devices, which should still be available via reg edit (as brandolenski mentioned). I'm gonna try that myself.
AE Button kinda works but battery is draining faaaast.
If i can somehow resume phone from `Shutdown` mode which is set by Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) that would solve problem. This mode i guess put phone in Stand-By (save battery) not only turn off display as in AE Buttons

I miss the notification light so bad

Seriously, I'm already really missing the blinking trackball of my Nexus One flashing ever second in different colors depending on what notification I have.
No Led is sort of working, but when I hit the power button it just turns the screen off and then the icon is there again, so I have to kind of hold it just long enough for it to turn the screen back on, but not long enough to make it launch the dialogue box in which i can choose to put it in airplane mode or power it off.
I suspect it won't be long before someone figures out how to put a part of that OLED screen to use as a notification light...

Try NoLED (10 chars)
Im also just waiting for some sort of wonderful notification app that most likely WILL be created soon

Better, imo, since NoLED drains more battery than this.
Does anybody read?
I said I AM using NoLED but it's giving me problems.
dinan, that app says it's only for 2.1...would it still work?

You have to hit the Home button to show the lock screen.

There's a froyo link, but no that's meant for the Galaxy S international version. I was just pointing it out because I think someone will port it to the Nexus S soon, so I don't suggest trying it on your phone just yet.

Thanks. That helps, but I guess the way NoLED works is that it turns on the screen each time you ask it to blink...and with the Nexus S there's that stupid screen off animation. So that keeps happening everytime it works lol. Any way to turn that off?

Screen Getting Dim after timeout but not turning off.

Hello,
I am using ARC S with DoomLord's Kernel and JJ's Hybrid 3.2 MOD.
After 15 seconds my screen get's dim but it doesn't turns off completely.
I have tried many different settings but nothing worked.. Pls Help.
Solved, there was a download running in background which was causing this, i stopped it and all went good.
is there any way to make it turn off even when a download is running ?

How do I disable do not disturb?

Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?
First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.
get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.
Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box
RMA would be a better option.
Problem has come back! a week delay this time
I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.
Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!

display won't stay off

I have a s7 att with all latest firmware and updates. When I'm in a call using bluetooth and I press the power button to turn the display off so I can slide it into my pocket. The display goes black then wakes again after about 3 seconds. Tried a factory reset, reboots and general troubleshooting. Even smart stay and proximity sensor. Even changed my case in case something was triggering it...
Any assistance?

The only work around I have found is to hit the home button, or leave the call app in any way, then lock the screen.
This is SUPER annoying!!!
