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.
hey everyone,
this is the first post on xda!(wow)
anyway, i got my fascinate at local verizon store on yesterday (9/11).
so far i love it.
I just wonder if i could turn off the screen while i am on the phone with someone.
When I was on the phone, I pushed power button to turn off the screen.
and it did go off, but in few seconds i went back on!
so i pushed the power button again to turn off the screen.
and it did turned off again but back on in few seconds.
is it impossible to keep the screen turned off for whole time?
thanks.
The screen should turn off when you put it next to your face, and turn on when you take it away, while on a call.
To check if your proximity censor is working, call your voice mail, and put your hand above where the ear piece is, and the screen will turn off, if it doesn't, then that would be a hardware fault and would require a replacement.
wow thankx frostman89
Hi there
Just got my tab 10.1 love it.
One problem my lock screen wont work.
I turned lock off but it wont let me turn it back on?
I have the option to turn lock screen on/off but it just goes back to the security screen when i push for on.
Strange, any help would be welcome.
Is there a setting (or standalone app), that will turn off wifi after a set amount of time after the screen goes off? I know the stock system had much worse battery life if wifi was kept on, and I'm assuming the same with CM7?
Yes I know I can just turn it off manually, but I'd rather it just turn itself off after say five minutes of me pressing the power button or it turning the screen off itself, then restart wifi when I turn it back on.
Thanks
The app Wifi Keep Alive can keep it on, or turn off when screen turns off unless plugged in. But it doesn't have a timer feature.
You don't need an app to turn off wifi when the screen is off with CM7. Just go into menu/ settings/ wireless & network/ wifi settings/ press menu/ advanced/ and then change the wifi sleep policy to whichever setting you'd like.
On the stock rom wifi will turn off when the screen turns off. I think it is actually annoying.
Okay so when I first got my s8 I turned my phone off and it turned off with black on each side closing in. (If that makes sense, it's like a tv turning off) I thought it was really cool the way it turned off but then later on I don't know if I changed a setting accidentally but now my screw turns off with a fade. So is there a default turn off setting that changes the way your screen turns off without getting an app?
