This isnt an issue with just one particular Sense ROM, but i found it to be so with most... if not all, possibly. If you use the AUTO setting, then this does not apply. Whats happening for instance, at night i like to turn the brightness all the way down. It stays that way until the screen goes off. Once you turn it back on again, the screen is bright... again, and it shows that its set all the way down so to fix you have to turn it up, then back down again. Then the process repeats all over again. Im not sure whats going on and obviously since i try different ROMs regularly(and do full wipes), its not a matter of a bad install. I wonder if this is a verified known issue and is being looked into.

Attached you can find a screen shot of something that happens with th phone of my boss from time to time.
Is this something known? It only happens to the start screen and all the tabs on it, if you go to a specific application it is displayed correctly.
This is an out-of-the-box phone, no special firmware or anything installed (yet)
alright man i have the exact same thing happen.
i have plasma theme installed and it does the same.
any offers anypne?
It happens sometimes. Not too often to bug me
It happens regularly with this phone. With this it still works, but sometimes it also crashes completely, locking the phone.
Anyone knows if it is fixed when you install a custom rom?
One day my skyrocket started acting up. I have the AT&T version. what happens is The wifi could be working perfectly fine then when i let it sleep and then wake it the wifi is on and sometimes turns right back on and connects and other times it won't turn on, even when I try to manually. I've tried going back to pure stock, ICS Stock, and tried custom roms and it's all the same. Sometimes on first boot the wifi won't even turn on. Then sometimes when I'm out of wifi Range I turn it off and when I come back and try to switch it on it says "Wifi turning on.." then the toggle goes back to off but it still says that. Sometimes when the phone is in use, screen on, I could be browsing the web or on facebook and it shuts off and won't come back on. This has nothing to do with the Power Saving mode, I never touched that setting and I checked and it's set to "Always." So what could it be? It gets extremely frustrating. someone please help me :l
I searched the forums before I posted, I know this may fall into the development category but I couldn't post there..

when you say pure stock, do you mean you odin'ed back to stock? i'm no expert but if you've had the same issues on pure stock rom, custom roms it sounds as though it may be a hardware issue.

Well yes odin'd back, & also used kies through download/recovery mode. well the custom roms it does it on are all stock based... well I had installed MIUI but idk If it had done it on there. this issue is very frustrating..
i realized last night that the bluetooth does it too, so if it's a hardware problem does that mean the motherboard could be bad, not the actual components?
I'm wondering if anyone else is has this problem. Every time I plug in my phone, the USB debugging option turns on. I turn it off in developer settings, but it turns back on as soon as I plug it in.
Also, I change my screen timeout to 1 minute but when I restart the phone, it turns back to 30 seconds. I already tried the fix permissions option in Recovery and it didn't work. I'm using the Viper ROM if that helps.
Also, I always turn Auto Sync "on" under settings but it turns itself back off.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Anyone?
There's a known bug with some settings not sticking on reboot if I recall but what your describing does not seem to be this bug. Typically when weird little issues like this are happening, step one is to redownload and check md5 wipe everything and do a fresh flash. Obviously this would be a big issue, well documented for a ROM as popular as Viper XL so I would say no, other people are not experiencing this issue.
Thanks anyway. I'll Google it some more and see if I find something
I don't know if this is a standard feature of the device, but when the phone is in standby, ie. the screen is off, the LED continues to flash the whole time.
Went into settings > Display, Gestures & Buttons > Notification Flash and un-ticked everything. Yet it continues to flash.
Also when the screen first turns on and I'm on the home page, it will continue to flash until I pull down on the status bar. Strangely I must do this every time whether there are messages, alerts and so on that need to be cleared or not. Leave the phone for 30 seconds, the screen turns off and the LED starts to blink again ...
Could someone please tell me how to stop the LED blinking? Its getting annoying thinking there's a message or something.
Thx
If you used moonshine to achieve S-Off then that could be the issue as it was for me as well. Even better my problem went as far as blinking when the battery would die on me and even after taking it off the charger it would still blink but would refuse to turn back on. I would have to remove the battery in order to start it up. However, I just downgraded my device from JB to ICS then back to JB while still keeping S-Off but removing moonshine. Now the phone works fine. Another issue was with those pesky busybox market apps. They don't function well especially if you try to restore or uninstall them. Thankfully, I have a stock JB backup for my future endeavors. I'm not sure what all you have done to your device but if you went about it with moonshine then my bet is on that lol. Again, I am only assuming.
Hey thx for the reply. This phone isn't S-Off or moonshined either. Its rooted, but doesn't even have a custom ROM.
I might scratch it and do a fresh everything and see if that sorts it out. Maybe try a custon ROM before that to see if it sorts it out.
Thx again

Sounds good. If you resolve the issue post back here with the info for the masses. You just never know who else might need the help
Sent from my C525c using xda app-developers app
has anyone run across this issue when you set a specific time out, the screen dims after the specified time but does not lock, it stays on?
my phone was working just fine, stock not rooted, took the latest update and after that i've been having nothing but weird issues, the other day the notification area at the top was not working, i had to basically check every app, messages etc manually to see updates, had to factory reset the damn thing, now this screen issue, the phones is only 1 month old.
any input?
thanks
I'm having very weird issues with screen lock. I'm be on the phone and the device will randomly lock and not let me unlock it without restarting the phone.
The new update is when it all started. I don't want to do a factory reset, but it's looking like I might have to?
