I don't know if I pressed the lock button while the active screen was activating or what.. but any time I tried to unlock the phone afterwards i was met with black screen.. but still got haptic feedback when pressing the area of the screen where the nav bar is.
i then held down the lock button to get the power menu (which i still couldnt see due to the black screen), tapped where i was guessing the power down button was, and then tried turning it back on, which worked.
hasnt happened since but it kinda scared me that it even happened in the first place and kinda pissed me off that a bug like this happened without any rooting ish being done.

When I'm doing anything on my TMO HTC TP2 And it goes into sleep mode (i.e. the top power button) and i turn the screen on it goes to the main screen not where i was previously. this is highly annoying especially when i'm typing a long message and hit the top power button by accident and i turn it back on and the message is gone and it flips the screen to Main screen, and i would appreciate it if someone could tell me whats wrong because i swear that this never happened when i first got it
I was playing a game on my Vibrant on my break earlier today and upon exiting it my screen locked up. Rather than wait for it, I pressed the power button to turn the screen off and went back to work.
A little later I brought it out to check the time and saw that the screen was on am pretty sure I saw that it said "Scanning media" at the top and assumed it had reset itself. A little bit after that I checked my phone again and saw the NoLed icon for new emails. I pressed the power button to turn on the screen and then tried to swipe it to unlock it but nothing happened.
That's pretty much where I am now. The volume and power buttons work but the screen is unresponsive (I can bring up the "Phone Options" screen but can't select any of the options) and none of the "soft" buttons on the bottom work either. Is my only option to do a hard reset?
And if it helps, this is a completely stock phone. Never been rooted.
I would just pull the battery.
I remember having something like that with NoLED, tr pressing the power button to wake it up and press the home key (unless you have it disabled in NoLED prefs) to get to the lock screen and unlock it.
Press and hold the power button until the phone reboots. That should take care of it.

Thanks! That did the trick. Could have sworn I tried that already but apparently I didn't hold it down long enough.
I just got the Nexus S today. I've played around with it and love it so far, but I have one problem: when I press my Home button in an app, it doesn't throw me back to the home screen. It vibrates when I touch it (so it responds), but other than that it doesn't do anything. Also, my screen wouldn't lock or show the unlock slider (after waking up). It would just turn on to a home screen, even after setting a PIN lock.
Ok, so before I posted this message I decided to restart the phone. Home button now works, screen locks beautifully. Glad I don't have to go get a new one! Posting this still in case others have the same problem.
TLDR: Home button didn't work, screen didn't lock even with Pin. Solution: restart your phone.
So recently i start flashing and using langthang's MIUI roms and keeping update and flashing all his new release rom. so couple day ago all of the sudden, i don' know what causes it and how it started it. my red button on far right. pressing it turn on and off the screen.so now when i press it to make the screen go back on from off mode. after i pressed the button the screen light turn on and the lock screen is there but when i touch the screen and try to move the ring(pyramid lockscreen) up to unlock, but the ring is not moving, it like there is no touch screen ability to my phone's screen.
but when i use the green button far left, the button usually to use phone. that button doesnt turn off the screen but it just turn on the screen, this button is working normally. i can move the ring up to enter the main screen.
the screen isnt cracked or any thing, but i do have a protection layer over it which been there since i got the phone and never got this problem before.
what do you guys think my problem is and how can i solve it?
thank you!
Guys I have a question... when I talk on the phone (with speakers on so I leave it on the table), the screen goes black... the problem is that every time I want to turn the screen back on I actually have to use the power button... the home button doesnt work, it's blacked (even if i have set always on display to be active all the time).
Is there a way to turn the screen back on without pressing the power button? Or have the home button active even if the screen goes black during a phone call? thank you!
Anyone?
Home button should be active at all times, you may need to press hard, blindly in the right place but it should work at least it works on mine, no problem.
You sure? Your home button works even when you talk with speakers on and the screen turns black?

Of course it works. Maybe it has some time out function, when it disables home button after certain time, I don't know since I never talk more than few min, but when screen goes blank, couple min later I press home button and it goes straight to talk screen bypassing lock. But I have location/BT set as secure, so it never locks up when I'm home, at work or in a car and have not test it much outside of those places. So if I had to make wild guess it's one of 3: 1. it has some time out 2. something with security lock 3. you're not pressing hard enough or wrong place, you really have to press hard, like you want bend screen a little.
My S6 did this also.
Some help?....
@tharghan
Same problem...
If anyone has a solution for this problem of black screen on speaker calls!?
