When i make a call, the screen truns black. I can't hang up etc.
Also when someone's calling me i can't press any button for like 30 a 40 sec, then sometimes i can hang up.
Tried everything, Flashed 6 different firmware versions using ODIN, Even brought back to the store, They flashed it to, no effect.
BUT!! When i plug in my headphones the screen does not go black and don't freeze, It functions normally then. THAT is Strange!!??
Any body an idea??
Also another problem:
When the screen is locked, and i press the home button, it takes about 10-15 seconds to show the unlock screen. When i press the home button the screen just stays black for 10 seconds until i can unlock it with a swipe.

BUMP. Edited post included Video

Solved it using app proximitySensorOff.
Its in the market.
Drains the battery, but no more freezes while calling.

broken fuze. powers on as soon as battery is popped in

So I've had my fuze a little over a year now, no major issues. Used mostly energyroms, but about December time I switched back to a simple non-bloated stock rom for the stability.
Anyway today at work I was texting, and I press the power button to put the phone in standby. And the screen remains on and usable. I tried again and it would not go into standby (power button physically feels normal, it does not feel loose or abnormal.) So i let it sit for a few minutes, then i look at it and a message poped up asking if i wanted to turn the phone off (like as if i was holding the power button)so i press no, then it comes up again a few seconds later and aagain and again. So I soft reset the phone.
The phone resets but takes a LOT longer at the att/htc splashscreen, then it hangs at the htc screen and does not make it to the wimo screen, but instead an error screen saying:
"The device is unable to boot because you have either turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an applicationa from an untrusted source, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel..."
I think it went through the hard reset this time because when it restarted it asked to calibrate the screen and install stuff. it resets again sometime after that, still takes forever at the splash screen and comes back up to the error, only this time no matter what button i press it wont go away and boot into wimo. It seems like none of my buttons work (they wont light up now) when i slide out the keyboard, it is not lit up like normally.
And heres the kicker, my only way to turn on/off the phone is to take out/put in the battery. As soon as I pop the battery back in the fuze turns on. Is my phone toast? Ive tried to hard reset and the phone does not reach the bootloader, it goes straight to the splash screen. Same with trying to reflash it from my comp, raphealwrapper cannot find my phone.
I've only recently encountered the exact same problem on my Touch Pro, but stock ROM and everything. As far as I can tell, our power buttons are busted and probably need to be serviced. One of the contacts must be stuck in the 'on' position somewhere inside :\ As a temporary fix, I've been using AEButton Plus and remapped double tap end call key to turn the screen off, and removing the stylus to turn it on.

[Q] Unlock screen, no wallpaper, no touch response :(

I was changing the wallpaper and it gave me the "setting wallpaper" dialog, which lasted for a long time. I pressed home and the gallery stayed on the screen but with nothing in it, and I couldn't get out of it. The back button did nothing.
I force powered down and rebooted and now when it starts (rebooted several times) I get a black screen with the time, the unlock button and the bottom right panel showing the time, wifi and SD card status.
There is no touch response, no response to volume controls, if I hit the power button it turns off the screen and wont come back on. I can connect to USB and navigate the internal memory.
Anyone have any idea what to do? :/ Stock rom, nothing extraordinary on the device.

[Q] Black Screen, but phone appears to work

Hi,
Picked up a HTC one S of off a mate today who dropped it and cracked the screen. Replaced the screen for him but it's still not working. Here's symptoms and what I tried.
-black screen all the time
-phone boots, three buttons at bottom lit up, LED flashes green and if I call him the phone vibrates
-if I hold down the power and volume buttons down, once the home lights have flashed 15 times I see a few lines of flicker for a fraction of a second on the screen and then nothing.
-Touchscreen appears to work as it vibrates when touching it (and I'm inputting text presumably?)
-He hadn't customised/flashed any other ROM on there.
Can someone perhaps shed light on next steps for troubleshooting?
Thanks
Tobias

[LCD Replacement] Screen doesn't light up after sleep

Hello everyone,
I bought a LCD replacement for my OPO, and asked a friend to replace the screen (he had his own OPO, and changed the screen on it a couple times, so I trusted him).
The frame was not included, so the phone is without it unfortunately.
But I have this problem with the screen itself...
I boot the phone, everything goes well, it boots, everything ok, I can do everything...
Then the phone goes to sleep after the 30s, and sometimes when I press the button to turn it on, the lights in the bottom light up, I can hear sounds, I can swipe to answer calls for example, but the screen stays all black.
If I press the power button to turn it to sleep mode and then click again to wake it within 1 or 2 seconds, it works everythime.
Its just when it goes to sleep... And then I have to press the power button to reset the phone, and it boots again.
I'm using the LineageOS Rom, and I never had problems like this before replacing the LCD.
What caused this? Could the screen be "broken" when I bought it?
Thank you for reading this and for the help!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well,clearly the issue is lcd itself.Happened with me on my last screen replacement,it was defective.Though in my case,I had to power on/off the device to get the display back.Get a refund or replacement,there's no other alternative.

General Found A New Bug

Hello people,
This is probably the most annoying bug I have seen in my Pixel.
I wanted to take a screenshot when playing a video in Full HD on YouTube. It started, I took the screenshot right when I needed by pressing the Power button and Volume Down button simultaneously. It was in full screen mode. And then disaster happened. The screen just went completely freeze. It was stuck at the screen where color palette choosing options etc. are given as soon as you take a scrnshot.
I touched the onscreen buttons nothing happened. I held Power button to activate Google Assistant. Although the assistant responded to me I did not see nothing. I set my display to turn off after 30 secs. Shortly before 30 secs it dims. The same behavior was happening except for the screen never went off.
I had to search [using other device] and come to learn that pressing the Power button about 30 secs will turn the phone off/restart. Finally, the phone came back to normalcy.
No melodrama over here. Such freezing may occur. It is just that this is my 2nd Pixel Phone [the first being the 3A] and ever since I've started using a Pixel I never ever had to do such operation.
Has it occurred to anyone?
My Pixel is exactly 5 months old. I enjoy dailying it.
