When I make a call the screen goes black, if I turn it on it goes black again. So I have to turn the screen on several times when I make a call if I want it to stay on. Is there any easy way to change this? I have been trying to change it through Advanced Config, but no luck.

This just happened like 45min-1hr ago. I was getting everything cleaned up before i got off of work and i was texting someone and my phone froze, so i soft resetted. it turned back on then it froze again so i once again soft resetted then i put it back in my pocket. i heard the sound the phone plays whenever it turns on and was like okay it's back on everything will be fine. i took it out and the screen is black. i thought it was on sleep mode or w/e but it wasnt. i took out my battery and put it back in and turned it on but the screen is once again black. anyone know how to fix it? i think my screen is broken
i have a touch pro also.
Possibly not the answer you want but have you tried hard-resetting the device? OK it wiped everything but at least you might get a working device from it. Had to do it once on my Trinity, it locked up on receiveing an SMS and a soft reset wouldn't complete, hard reset cured it.
just a regular hard reset? vol down center button. my cousin came over and said it mighta been my backlight? just tried turning it on again and it's real dim but i can barely see the screen.
I was thinking a regular hard reset, but as you have some display, albeit very dull have you checked the backlight hasn't got itself turned all the way down?

how would i check if the backlight is all the way down?
Go into the backlight settings and see where the sliders are.
tricky i know when the screen is very dull, but it might be possible.
that's not probable. minimal backlight doesn't mean black screen.. unless it's a device i'm completely unfamiliar with... tho it is still unprobable.
as deedee suggested, i'd hard-reset
I'm having the same problem, did you find a fix?
My XDA Serra (Touch Pro) will let me view the screen for about 20 seconds before it switches off. Not just a backlight dim, but a full switch off. If I keep poking the screen it will stay on, but then I end up selecting something on screen.
My settings for the screen make no difference and it's making the thing unusable. Anyone know of a decent backlight / power management software that can take it by the scruff of the neck and make it behave?
Thanks.

Check your power off button isn't stuck pushing down forcing phone to turn off. It has reportedly happened on a number of other devices
No, I just checked. Seems to be OK. Thanks
Have you tried flashing another rom?
If not try that, and if that doesn't work, the lock button must make contact somehow as fallen spartan says.
Solved.
I had to uncheck all the power management crap, soft re-set, and then. Re-check the settings I wanted.
Don't you just love WM...?
Hello,
i got a HTC One (m7) and i've installed the latest update,
now my screen automaticly turns dark (no brightness at all)
first thing i thougt it was a problem with the savemode so i turned that of but it stayed the same.
it doesn't mather if i switch the brightnes between 0% and 100% it stayes dark
so i thought my backlight must be broken but....
when i restart my phone th welcome/popup screen is bright and as soon as it's started up again its back to dark.
when i start whatsup the screenn is dark but if i say i want to send a video the videoscreen starts and the screen lights up fully,
when i then go back into whatsup or home you see the sreen go back to dark gradualy in about 3 seconds.
what the hack can do this and how do i kill this so i can get control again
i hope anyone has an idea for me.
Hi all !!! Sorry for my English but I need your help
I commented what is happening with my phone N5 (which for good and evil is always stock without root or anything, with corresponding OTA updates.)
1- Yesterday afternoon at lunchtime while reading a book in playbooks, I notice that suddenly disappears one line and then appeared intermittently. I close the app and noticed the same thing happening on the screen menu. I shut down the cell and turn on again and I thought it must be an application be kidding. But still does.
2 Also yesterday I happened to change the security on the phone screen. After a while of normal operation, try to turn it on the screen with the button, nothing, the screen goes "black", with light and retrolight turned on but no picture no nothing .
Called the cell to see if it works or is turned off and the phone rings but the screen nothing. Try turning it off and on again by holding the on / off / lock button and the phone restarts, but the screen nothing. In one such attempt to do the above it is seen that managed to turn it off. And I get it on and do a normal boot, except that the picture of my screen is changed to the original. Change the lock screen which was previously using (slip). And it seemed that out or some conflict with the lock. In one of those again pressed the ON / OFF / lock as would normally and it starts all over again.
After I magically back to life, I want to make a full wipe as I think it should be an app that is doing some conflict or something. BUT ....
3I turn off the phone and then press the keys VOLUME UP / DOWN and ON / OFF is normally off, squeezed the first screen with the options but options RECOVERY / BOOTLOADER appears in red I choose RECOVERY give the ok with the key and .... andriod robot appears with the legend below that says something (I do not remember well) without or without controls options appears. So its seems thatI dont have recovery.
After that keep pressing the key ON / OFF and the phone turns off and / or reboot normally. All this I did it again to see if the error reappears and looks that I do not have recovery.
The failure of the screen is increasing. I dont know if they are separate problems or is it all the same problem.
Sorry if I was too long but I need the help of you.
UPDATE Now it seems that the screen died, since I do not achieve to turn it on as before, the light and the retrolight its ok. The phone receives calls and notifications but the screen stills black.
Thanks all.

sometimes things just "derp". itll happen more often if you dont reboot your phone often. also, your phone will be a little bit more responsive if it gets reboot once a day or two.
RMA or fastboot it back to stock, if the screen doesnt turn on afterwards then it looks like a hardware issue, open device and reconnect the display.

Thank you Republicano!!
I think too that its a hardware issue. I already see on you tube problems like mine.
Thanks again!!
I've come up with a problem that has perplexed me on my Galaxy J700T. I've looked everywhere for solutions, but none have worked.
The phone's screen will go dark after it boots, but will show the lock screen for a split second. The screen will sometimes flicker back to life for a moment, but then go back out. This can happen a few times. Sometimes it will go back to the same screen, but sometimes it will show the lock screen. Sometimes it will show the lock screen on a flicker, but then go back to whatever normal screen or app it was on before, when I hadn't unlocked it. This only happens when it was on that screen previously though It sort of Flashes the lock screen I suppose you could say. The phone's screen seems to be unresponsive when it's black.
I'll start with what I know:
It isn't solely a hardware issue - The screen does turn on when you first turn on the phone. It shows the boot process. You can boot it into Download mode and the screen will stay on. You can also boot it into Recovery mode and there will be no problems with the screen. The phone can boot normally and the phone will show the whole process. The problem is post boot so I find it hard to believe it's solely a hardware issue, otherwise I should have these problems in the other modes too.
The screen isn't always off - I've managed to actually catch my phone displaying messages at the bottom of the screen for a split second. One such being that it has connected to the internet. This will show for a split second, while the rest of the screen is still dark. The screen appears to otherwise be dark with no light, looking as if it is off.
I've looked into this black screen of death issue I've heard about. I'm not sure if this is it. I've never had the issue before with any other android device I've had. It doesn't seem like it when I look at descriptions of the problem.
I have put the phone through Factory Reset, which hasn't worked in stopping the problem. As soon as the welcome screen shows up to set up my phone, it will go black again. I cleared the cache. I Cleared all data and reset it. Rebooted it in different ways. I did root it.
Would anyone here happen to know what's going on or have any possible solutions?
