Hi,
I've been having screen issues with my phone. First green lines started showing on the screen, I turned auto brightness off, and it fixed the issue. But now when I want to wake my phone, it flashes white, but the screen stays off, and it does this for~3 more clicks, the fourth one turns the screen on though.
I'm on stock by the way. Not rooted.
Figured I'd ask before taking it to Samsung.

Today I had an alarm set, when the alarm went off I tapped hit the power button on the top of my phone to turn the screen off (and hopefully the alarm... but only the screen went off). The alarm continued to go, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the screen to come back on.
I can fully interact with the phone (as if the screen was on). For example, pressing talk twice redailed my last call. Pressing power prompted to shut the phone off (could hear the "blurp"), etc.
So, after shutting the phone off (or resetting with pinhole reset), the display works fine while it is displaying the "Cingular - Raising the Bar" nonsense. As soon as that screen is done (where it would have normally showed the today screen), the screen just goes off...
Any ideas?

nevermind, when I put it under a bright light I realized the screen was on, the backlight was just off... somehow I must have hit some shortcut to turn the backlight off.

Don't sound too relieved...
Say hello to the Backlight bug.
You're backlight will keep setting itself to the lowest setting after every soft-reset, when you let it go into stand-by itself.
I'm still sufferering from it. It started when i first installed PocketZenphone.
So just want to give u a warning. Everytime you reset your phone, remember not to let it go into standby itself. Either tap the power button and turn the screen off, then turn it on agan. Otherwise, the Backlight will go to low again.
Hi,
I experienced today a strange behavior:
I used my nook, turn off wifi, let it in my bag for 1 or 2 hours and when i tried to wake it the screen didn't turn on.
At first i though it was SOD but when i looked closer to the screen there was something on it, it was the CM7 boot logo (the tony hawks droid
The logo was not very visible, most like old "ghost image" on CRT screen when he same image is displayed for long periods of time.
I should have taken a photo, i will if it reproduce.
Kinda sounds like it was rebooting without turning on the backlight. Could you see the arrow circling? I've had "n" turn on the backlight with no image, but tapping power turns off the backlight, then tapping it again turns the screen on properly.
Sounds like somebody's state machine has a leak...
i will never know (i pressed power 8s, if it was booting, i just stopped it)
Hello everyone, I have been searching constantly for any information on a problem that suddenly started today with my galaxy s4, and this is going to sound very odd for sure. For no apparent reason, i pulled the phone out of my pocket, hit the power button, and everything that is supposed to be white is pink. The touch screen will work for a split second, just long enough to get the phone unlocked, and then is all together unresponsive. On the home screen, once again, everything that is supposed to be white, (text, notification icons, time, ect) is bright pink. All the buttons are responsive, but the touchscreen does nothing. Upon hitting the power button to turn the screen off, you can see the pink disappear and the screen change back to normal for just a moment before it goes off, same when it powers on, which is why i can manage to get the phone unlocked. Anyone hear of anything like this?
You have either a loose connector or some other hardware failure.
Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.
Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.
Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.
Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.
I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.
I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.
I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?
Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.

Hello, I am having the same issue in my Redmi note 11 pro plus Phone. In my case The screen will lock but display stays on with dimmed light. Usually it is not visible during day, but in dark room its visible. And it stays the same way whole night. And battery is fully drained and phone is turned off. Is there a solution for this??
My phone's display as of 3 or so weeks ago has stopped working correctly. It only displays colorful flashes if I press the power button, or just a black screen. I can feel the phones vibrations and unlock it, it still gets notifications as well when it's on. How do I fix this problem?
