I recently flashed 2.3 to my girlfriend's Droid X and now when she is on the phone the screen will not come back on. The only way to hang up the call is to wait for the other person to hang up or by pulling the battery. She didn't have this issue on 2.2. Any help would be appreciated!

At first I though it was because of Toms Rom version 2, I ignored it as it happens randomly. It was at its worse when I was at computex first week of june.
Today, I finally got a chance to reflash it with toms updated rom, which is brilliant, very fast. At first I didnt have any power outs at all, but suddenly later today it happened again but this time worse, sometimes it wont turn back on. Id have to do random things like taking out the battery and putting it back on for it to turn on, sometimes, it just wont, id wait a few minutes then it it works and turns back on again.
So im sure it isnt toms rom anymore since no one else reported this issue.
I also though it could be a loose slide, but sometimes when I just try to move the slide around, nothing happens, it wont turn off, pop the slide in and out and in and out and its fine, then a few minutes later, phone is off again. Sometimes in the middle of a call it goes off.
Very very irritating indeed.
Any ideas on what I should do? Has any1 else tried this?
send it to the manufacturer
I have the same problem. I contacted my dealer and they seemed to know how to fix it. I have sent the phone to them, but I haven't got it back yet.
It's definitely a hardware problem, not software
Ok got it, but I need to flash it back to original ROM first or else warranty will be void.
Thanks guys!
Im really leaning more towards this being slide problem, upon testing and testing,
It turns off when:
When I am connected via USB to PC and I slide out, it shuts off.
When I slide keypad back in with its own force (not guided by the hands, just letting it drop), it shuts off.
wow guys the problem is solved! :-D
Big thanks to DaVinci for pointing it out to me, when I tried it, no more power outs no matter how I test it!
Solution: Clean the battery terminals! Thats it. I used a pencil eracer then cotton swab with alcohol.
Saved me a lot of trouble! No all I can do is enjoy toms latest, blazing fast ROM!!!
Yeaaaaaaaaah baby!!
My phone died today and when I got home to charge it, I noticed that after pressing the sleep/power button, the screen turns off and then about a second later comes back on. It does this regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I took it into Sprint and they're going to give me a new one when they get their paws on some. Right now I'm just looking for ANY possible work around to the problem.
I've done a factory reset, added a pattern/code, and installed NO LOCK but nothing can keep the screen from coming back on after pushing the power button...
(I also had another problem with the phone, the camera has a HOT PINK tinge about 85% opacity. I can go without the camera for a few weeks until the new one gets here but any help with that is very welcome)

Everything is stock.
Mine had a similar problem when I was on 2.1 I would charge the phone overnight and at some point in time the phone would turn the screen on and not turn back off. Or sometimes it would sitting on my desk and just randomly turn the screen on. After I upgraded to 2.2 it stopped. I never could figure out what was causing it to wake.
Are you using ChoiceDialer+? There is a known bug where the screen will not shut off after making a call with ChoiceDialer, though a reboot does fix it.
Hello,
i'm having troubles with the last OTA 2.05.405.2 update on a stock unbranded, sim-free HTC legend.
The weird thing is my screen going black when calling to my voicemail and not being able to get back to a normal screen. So I cannot interact with the phone anymore.
I get the same problem with other phonecalls too but when the other side hangs up, my screen comes back normal.
I suspected an incompatible app so i reset my phone to factory settings, but this didn't help.
My next step was to download the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed ROM from the internet and make myself a goldcard. The process of "updating" (downgrading in fact) goes well until i get an errorcode "140" "Bootloader problem"
Is there a way to replace the bootloader to a previous one? How do I proceed?
Tnx
Men, use search... There is a good thread about downgrading.

Black screen while in call -- proximity sensor broke?
OK, I managed to downgrade my phone succesfully to 2.03 official rom.
My black screen problem still exists. Apparently, my light sensor is not sensitive enough.
When in call, the screen goes black, even if I don't hold it to my ear.
When I put the sensor under a bright light, the screen goes on again. So there must be a wrong setting or just a fysical problem.
Does anyone else have this problem (only when in call)
I have the same problem but the screen turns back on when I shake the phone.
I called HTC service today.
the problem could be software or hardware, for software related problems, a hard reset (factory settings) should resolve the problem.
In my case, i had to send it back for repair.
I hope you unrooted before you gave it in for repair. Or did you flash an unrooted ROM when you downgraded?
I flashed a stock rom 2.03.405.4 from shipped-roms.com.
My previous Rom was 2.05.405.3 via on OTA update.
I suppose there is no problem with that.
Tnx for the attention.

Like in2ition, when I move the handset away from my ear while on a call the screen comes backs, but I'm guessing yours didn't. It's most likely a power saving 'feature' as while you are on the phone you are probably not going to be looking at the screen.
Were any other features not working on the phone? Games like Teeter etc?
Anyway, hope it comes back fixed.
Well this adventure is getting out of hand.
I sent the phone back to HTC and they claim the failing light sensor is not covered by the warranty because they have seen some scratches on the cover, not on the screen!
So they send me a repair note of 225€!!!
Be aware that HTC is trying to get out of their responsability when sending back you device.
I'm trying to escalate with HTC but so far (after six weeks) no luck, the call center is holding back the answer...
Viskoze, I seem to have the exact same issue. I am very grateful that you shared your experience; thanks to that I know that returning the phone as high chances of being an expensive move (my legend has scratches too) and I seem to have found a workaround (putting the phone under a bright light doesn't work and wouldn't be as easy):
sliding my finger from left to right above the screen brings the phone back to life.
Even if there is a hardware pb (the light sensor), the fact that pressing the standby button doesn't bring the phone back to life is definitely a bug to me. Hopefully they fix that in a future release.
I will try to remember to update this thread if this workaround doesn't prove to work well, but so far it works 100% of the time.
Unfortunately I cannot search since there isn't a search forum button at the moment, so I am just going to throw out this topic/question and see if i can get some insight.
I am running the deodexed EI22 with nubernal (no rom's just rooted) and every time i am on a call the screen will turn back on randomly. And when it does of course my face is mashing buttons and usually hangs up or puts the person on hold or something. My only way around it is if i notice it light up to pull it away from my face wait a second and then pull it back in. Then it will turn off but it will light back up eventually. This is EXTREMELY annoying and problematic.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Are you sure the proximity sensor isn't being accidently uncovered?
positive, its up against my ear. I'm not using it any different than i have for the year that i've owned it.

no clue then. I always talk on speaker so after the call is connected, I hit the power button to turn off the screen. Never had it come back on.
I noticed my screen come on a few times as well when I'm on a call. Then I move the phone a little and it goes back off. Almost seems like the proximity sensor's sensitivity has radically changed with GB. Never did this on Froyo.
well i'm glad i'm not the only one lol. However this has got to be fixed. I need to take my phone back to best buy anyways cause my bezel has cracked severely. Hopefully they give me a new phone preloaded with Gingerbread and maybe it won't do it on the new one. We shall see. IF BB screws me on the new phone i will be reflashing mine to stock and see how that goes before moving on to the latest Urban Rom.
Hello everyone.
I have a two year old MT4G that have been working well until recently. The touchscreen become unresponsive occasionally. I have to hit the power button to power off the screen and then turn it on again in order for the touchscreen to work again.
I tried reinstall CM 7.2.0 but the problem persists. What can i do to fix it? Otherwise, the phone is perfectly fine. I would hate to throw this phone away because of this problem.
I really need your help on this issue.I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
up
