My screen would not wake up, I flashed Cyanogen Mod, the latest version, but as soon as my screen goes off and I tried to wake it, it'll just stay in a lighted black screen forever, nothing happens, it wont wake or respond to buttons so I have to pull battery. It didn't happen on just this rom, I tried other roms as well. And same results, is it my phone or rom? I just got the phone today.
Which rom are you running? And did you flash a custom kernel?
Try a complete wipe and reflashing, but don't restore any apps, if you do, and see if the problem persists.

I was running the latest version of Cyanogenmod. And no, I did not flash a custom kernel. I've already tried a complete wipe and flashed the rom like so many times. Like Cyanogenmod would install, but as soon as I put the phone to sleep and I hit the home button to try to wake it, it would be stay as a lighted black screen. The phone is responding to the button but it seems like the screen would not go on, the light for the 4 buttons lights up, but the screen doesn't display anything, just backlight. Please help, this is confusing me.
Set the phone to not sleep, it will just dim the light to near 0% brightness. I used to have this problem too on some nightlies and stable cm releases even and doing the above worked for me. I also bumped minimum cpu speed to 500-800 instead of 300, which lagged too much imho.

You say you press the home button when you turn the screen off and the buttons light up? Or did you mean when you pressed the power button?
When I press on the power button to wake it up, it just gives me a black screen. However the buttons light up when I touch them just the screen wont display anything.

That happened to me once. Did you wipe "system" in CWM before installing the rom?
Same Issue
Did you ever find a fix for this problem? My G2x just stopped coming on and I never changed any settings or anything. I've wiped davlik & user data; installed stock and custom roms, but every time the screen turns off the power button fails to wake the phone up. No lights flash or anything. I've found others who have the same problem but I haven't discovered any solutions. I'm guessing this must be a hardware problem since the power button does work to initially turn on the device and lock it but can't wake it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently running a rooted stock rom with the v21y BB that's been ICS-ified

I've found this issue to exist of literally EVERY build of CM that I've every used on ANY android device. I can't stand it. I finally stopped flashing CM all together because I hate not being able to wake up my device. NO OTHER ROM has done this before. Doesn't matter the model. Here's all the models that exibit this behavior that I've tested with.
Kindle Fire - CM9, CM10 and CM10.1
Galaxy 7 tab 2 - CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2
Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S1) - CM7, CM9, CM10, CM10,1
Galaxy S3 Sprint- CM10, CM10.1
Galaxy S4 Sprint - CM10, CM10.1 and now CM10.2
That's very interesting. CM... I ended up sending the phone to LG to fix. I have a GS2 now so I gave the phone to my father. It runs great now.
sulotion to screen not waking up on cyanogenmod
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy note 2. I'm running cyanogenmod 11. I solved the issue by going into setting then display and lights and unchecking proximity wakeup. I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you a lot man! I was really in panic mode.
Not Waking up
This problem started once I have upgraded to official Lollipop. When I press the power button, the screen doesn't wake-up immediately. I had to press many times the power button to get the screen comes.
Here's the problem: when the TF boots into the OS, the screen cuts off after the boot animation. I can see it fine in CWM also.
I was running the Prime ROM with HC 3.2. This ROM has worked quite well for months. Earlier this week, I was going to boot it up and use it while riding in the car. The screen was fine during the boot animation, but as soon as it hit the OS, it went blank.
I hit the power button and could tell that was working, because I could see a quick flash of backlight when I pressed it. But no screen display.
So I saw that Revolution 3.0 was released, so I installed it. The screen worked fine through CWM and everything was fine up until I installed the OS and went through the initial bootup and setup process in ICS.
When I turned it off and back on, it wouldn't come on. So I don't really know where to start. I assume this has something to do with the backlight sensor, and I have looked around here for some references, but nothing comes up.
Is there a way to disable the backlight sensor completely to test my idea? Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks all.
My TF was serviced by ASUS back in the summer after I dropped and bent the bezel. They put a new power button daughterboard and bezel on it.
I just wiped the tablet with CWM and it let me reboot and go through the ICS setup steps again.
Screen went dark the very instant I touched the brightness slider control...
My nexus S keeps booting up like normal but once it gets to lock screen it shuts off by itself within 5....10 seconds. Sometimes I do manage log in before it does, sometimes not. It continues endlessly.
Since my power button is dead the only way to into recovery is to use Quickboot (and this is not accessible due the repeated boot). Phone is rooted since day one and I have custom ROM installed but it has been running stable for ~6 months and no changes has been made to phone in last few weeks. It just stared out of blue. Any suggestions?
Did you try flashing a new rom?
Hey guys,
I have a really strange display issue with my Galaxy R.
I'm on CM10.1 nightly and already tried different nightlies with factory reset and wipe data/cache.
If the phone is not used for a while (sometimes even after 30 minutes), meaning it is on and screen is off, the display won't turn on anymore.
So I press the power button and the capacitive buttons light up, but the screen stays completely black.
Today I noticed that I can even use the touch screen and I could hear all sounds, I even managed to open the dialer and start typing blindly and it would make the dial sounds.
But whatever I try, the screen won't turn on.
Also, it seems when I'm connected to a charger and/or connected to wifi, this problem doesn't seem to occur.
Then I have no choice but to remove the battery, but then often I can't even start the phone.
Sometimes it takes some minutes, sometimes a really long time until I can start it again.
Usually the battery isn't drained, this only happened once.
This occurs after I dropped the phone twice, so it might be related to that.
(Though before I've also dropped it and this never happened.)
Any ideas?
flash stock ics and see if problem persists.
once i flashed a custom rom and faced this issue, reverted to stock and now my device is running with zero issues.

I tried to find the stock rom online, but all links seem to be down.
Do you know where I can get it?

You need to register and then download from here.
Thanks for that, I installed newest stock rom.
Could boot fine, set up the phone, put it to the side.
One hour later I checked it - same problem again.
Capacitive buttons flaring up, screen not.

Then you should visit SSC. They can only repair your device.
Hello,
When I heard that Cyanogenmod was officially released for the Moto G today, I immediately went ahead and installed it.
I can't tell when exactly this started, but I cannot lock the phone anymore and the phone won't sleep at all. The display is always on. The phone will lock itself after a while but never turn to sleep mode.
It did work in the beginning though. All I have done is install some apps. Only one app has been granted root access (Adaway).
How can I fix this? Where do you look for solutions?
Ugh, I give up. I appears as if my phone is broken.
It doesn't boot anymore. The screen is black and there's no feedback when I boot. No matter if the phone is attached to a power source or not...
