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.

umm how do you know if i did or did not wipe and re-flashed my current rom and/or tried to do basic troubleshooting before making this 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.

Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP
As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.
Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.
i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.
I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty
Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know
Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

I have a feeling mines going to come back from tmob in the same state i sent it in...
What other options do with have if they sent it back without fixing it?
any info? I still have not had mine back.
bump... any more infos on this?

Ive noticed allot more people getting this problem. So its not only us.
Tmob are replacing mine, so Im guessing its out of our control now.
did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..
I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!
Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.
For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.
Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?
I find that my Minis' on/off button is unresponsive occasionally and I was wondering if anyone else felt theres was also?
Ive only had this issue when the phones locked and I bring it in and out of showing me my status. It appears the bottom icons have to light up before it will react to my press of the on/off button again.
Same for me ! Sometime I need to remove battery to restart using my HD MINI ...
Any solution ?
hi there

I have the same problem, sometimes, the button is not responsive. There should be a solution for it. Someone has to report to htc.
I have the same problem, i think that it is caused by either to many running applications or by a application that hangs.
for the most i just have to wait a minute or two and then it works again.
Last time i connected the charger, it also worked and i have also tried to call the phone from another phone. it also worked.

yes... I think it's because of many programs... I have this when I'm doing something and I push the button fast to turn of the screen and suddenly remember I forgot something and push it again to turn on... I think It's normal!!
sometimes it's anything but normal, but i found a soft reset (or hard reset for that matter) often is the solution. So it's most likely an application or process that hangs, leaving it for a few minutes and then trying to unlock it usually does the trick
When I hit the power button to shut the screen off, it flashes brightly before it goes off.
Wondering if this is a Nook Color thing in general, or just a CM7 thing. Is this related to the fact that the screen animation doesn't work on CM7 when using the current kernel? I heard that Dalingrin had the screen animation working in the early test kernel and wondered if this got rid of the screen flash as well.
FWIW, mine flashes also. I haven't researched the cause, though.
CM7.0.2 from SD, when I tap the power button, it fades over about half a second. No flash, although occasionally there's a flicker in the middle of the fade. Power on happens much quicker, but there is a bit of fade-in.
I did enable on and off animations, even though I didn't think they were supposed to work yet.
this is a CM7 thing. its a power off and on animation. if you dont like it you can turn it off in settings. personally i like it. it reminds me of the old CRT screens.

More specifically it's a 2.3 thing - but I think the problem is that it doesn't work the same as on other standard resolution screens so it just ends up 'flashing' rather than doing a fancy animation. Your solution is correct though.
Interesting. The on/off animations are off by default in the Encore build. I enabled them in the settings and still had the flash (as one would expect). However, once I disabled them again everything was fine. I wonder if this is another persistence bug, similar to airplane mode?
My screen flashes whether the screen animations are on or off, though to be fair it doesn't flash every time, definitely more often than not though.
Mine is more of a quick blink rather than an obvious flash. And it isn't consistent.
My screen flashes as well. It just started doing this yesterday and I've been running cm7 off my sd card for about a week with no other problems. Worse, sometimes the screen turns green and stays that way until I hit the N button. Any idea what this means and possibly how to fix it? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Which version of CM7 are you running? I haven't seen the flash or the green screen since I switched from 7.0.2 to nightly 86. Maybe it's coincidence, but it looks like the flash issue has been fixed.
(The power button does sometimes turn off the screen briefly then turn it right back on again -- hitting the power button a second time always turns it off.)

It's the CM7.0.3 stable version. Maybe I should do an update. I wasn't sure if that was the problem since it had just started doing this. Are you saying you've seen the green screen? Just curious because I can't find anything about it anywhere. Thank you for your response. I'm going to try out the nightly and see if that fixes the problem.
Mine does more of a quick flicker,i think its the screen off/on animation issue on the nook because the animation works fine on my droid incredible cm7

Actually, that's what mine does too. Sometimes there's a flash, but most of the time it's a quick flicker. If it's just the animation then I probably don't need to worry about it. It's just the green screen that worried me...though that only occurred when I kept messing with it. I haven't messed with it the past couple of days so I haven't seen the green screen. Maybe I was causing some kind of error.

Yup, I've seen the green screen. I don't remember what build I was on at the time because I looked at a bunch over a couple of days. It could have been 7.0.3.
Or maybe I messed up something on my nook, and flashing another build corrected it? Either way, I haven't seen it in a few weeks.

That's good that you haven't seen it in a while. And not that I want anyone else to suffer, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one. LOL. Hopefully that means I'll have an easy fix. I haven't seen it in a few days myself, so I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Most likely I'll update to a nightly. Thanks for the responses. Now I'm not worried about it anymore.
I recently got faulty Xperia XA2 in my hands. Everything is brand new and works perfectly, except device shuts down after short period of inactivity.
On stock ROM it shuts down if the screen is turned off for ~10 seconds, or if I do not do anything with it for ~30 seconds, but it stays on if I run video in browser or use a music player.
I managed to flash TWRP and some custom ROMs. While in recovery, device always stays on, no matter if screen is locked or anything else happens, as it should be.
Now it has Lineage 17.1 installed and it shuts down just like on stock ROM.
Another thing to mention is that it doesn't exactly shuts down in those cases: after blackout, device restarts on short press on power button (it should only wake on long press if it is turned off conventionally) and blinks with green LED indicator.
And also, it doesn't turn off while charging
I would appreciate any help with figuring out what causes shutdowns and any ways to solve this. I have a few theories I cannot confirm, but I need more data.

From what you're describing probably this is the only solution if this happens with stock rom ...
Well, I sent it to service, actually. I tried to check logs via adb logcat, but there were no clues, they just stop going without any pattern. Then I gone lower and checked kernel logs, but they were clear, too, so I suggested it is related to power supply so I stopped and contacted repair service.

Well, they decided to change the mainboard (still in progress though, guys are working like morons). I think they would have it covered by warranty, if I had any.
