Over the last couple of days I have been having an issue with the sensation. I can boot up the phone and have full access to the boot loader.
The problem occurs when I leave the phone in standby for a while. The phone will become un-responsive and wont turn ont at all.
I was running the latest RCMix rom and everything was fine. I then decided to install j4n87's tweaks I know it is for a newer base but I just wanted to try it. Ever since I installed the tweaks the phone hangs when the screen is turned off.
I have tried full wipe and reinstall of everything but cant fix the issue.
Even noticed that if I pull the battery and power it back on the screen will stay black. You can hear sounds see button lights and power light but nothing on the screen. It then takes a couple of attempts of using adb reboot to get the screen to come back on again.
Any Ides.
Just tried flashing stock rom fro ruu same issue.
Edit 1:
Hmm I am wondering is my SD card causing the issue. With it in the phone when the phone is on stand by the freeze will occur in a couple of minutes. On the stock rom with the SD card out I am able to leave the phone in stand by for 10+ minutes and it is waking with out any issues. I will try it with ICS to see how it behaves.
Edit 2:
Interesting: it does look as if it is the SD card causing the problem. I restored my RCMix ICS rom and left the card out of the phone, with the phone on. I left it on standby for half an hour and it woke up with out any issues. Looks as if I could be getting a new SD card!

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the my XT720 and hopefully someone can help, or has at least seen something similar. When the phone goes unused for a minute and the screen times out, I can not get it to come back on as expected. If I press the power button, the lights under the four buttons power on, but the screen stays off, and both the screen and buttons don't respond to being touched (ie no noise, no feedback, nothing). If I hold the power button down, it will not stop or start, and I have to do a battery pull (the phone has not been rooted). If I press the power button to lock the phone manually, it can come back to life, but not after a timeout.
This started happening when I replaced the sd card that was included with a new one. I've had occasional issues where it will decide that I don't have an sd card inserted (also fixed by a few battery pulls), so I figured time to get a new / faster sd card. The new one has worked fine in my PC to store data, but once I put it in the phone, this happens.
If I switch back to the old sd card, the screen problem goes away. I've tried formatting the sd card from the phone (as well as from my pc), and it doesn't help.
Any ideas or input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
I had a similar unpredictable problem. I'm not sure what the core of the problem is but sometimes I suspected the SD-card as you did.
Sometimes the phone didn't show up the display even after a battery pull out. The thing that always helped in MY case was to pull out the battery for 1 hour and the problem disappeared for 1-2 months...
Hope this will help.
did you in anyway modify your phone? that includes rooting etc
i had this problem before but it stopped after i cleared my davik cache and it re populated the directory after i rebooted it. worse case scenario, you might want to try reflashing it.
I've not modified it at all. No rooting, no flashing, nothing. And I'm not keen to reflash it as it's from Wind in Canada, and there is no Wind rom posted. I know others are compatible, but I suspect it would make it harder to get warranty service if it has a BrightPoint rom on it (though I guess I should check the build number and see if it's the same).
I (occasionally) have the same problem. I, on the other hand, have had this issue since I bought the phone back in August of 2010. My phone is rooted, sometimes overclocked, and running standard android 2.1update1. What happens to my phone is that it is in lock mode and I press the lock button and all that happens is the 4 buttons below the screen illuminate but the screen itself does not. To solve it, I do a battery pull and it is back to normal. I don't know specifically what causes it because apparently this problem is also happening in unrooted XT720's. BTW I have never changed my SD card from the 8GB one that came with the phone.
I hate to hear about this issue but I'm glad I'm not the only one having it. I just got my XT711 a few days ago and the screen has done the same thing a few times to me also. I know 1-2 times I just picked up my phone and it did it, another time was when my camera froze, and once even when I paused Angry Birds game until the screen shut off, that time when I pushed the lock/ power button the 4 bottom lights came on and I could here the sounds from my game but my screen was blank. Hasn't done it in a couple of days, so hopefully it just had the flu! If anyone finds out what it is, let me know also because I've seen people with all models of XT phones having it.
Try another SD Card
Thank you, yes I have a new class 10 sd card ordered, so hopefully that cures the problem
ok, weird issue.
Yesterday I came back to my TF having left it inmy bag for the day, and it would not turn on at all.
I tried various things and then decided that the battery must be totally dead.
I left it to charge over night, and come the morning was able to watch it booting.
However once It finished boot it goes to black screen. Pressing the power button sometimes gives a flicker of backlight and then goes blank again. sometimes it even gives a glimpse of the screen.
Plugging in the power sometimes gives a longer blink of the booted ROM.
I have tried a cold boot, a full data wipe and I have used NV flash to fully reinstall the ROM (Prime 1.8)
After the full reinstall I go through the Google initial setup process without a problem, as soon as the rom boots I am back to the flicker of screen going off..
Does anyone have any ideas??
Still got the problem, does this sound like hardware to anyone else?
if the screen doesnt work during boot it is hardware problem. flash ur rom again or wipe it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Screen works fine during boot
Done both of your suggestions unfortunately, as I stated in my original posting.
I am going to try going back to Stock, and assuming its an app NOT restore any during the rebuild process.
Ok. So i have completely screwed up my phone. I have rooted my phone and installed a few different ROMs on it. I have clockwork recovery installed on my phone and I was using it to clear my data to install a new ROM. I cleared my /system and then did a "reset data/factory reset" and I believe the factory reset is what messed everything up. Now when I boot up my phone it shows "Google" and has a little progress bar that gets to 100% and does nothing after that. My phone will show up on my computer as an ADB device but nothing more. When I boot into my bootloader, it freezes up completely. The volume keys and power button don't do anything.
I have clockwork mod installed but I can not get into it. My last ROM installed was Slim ICS from slimroms[DOT]com (I can't post links yet ) I'm not sure if that is needed but I thought I might throw that in.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am without a phone right now because of my toying around with it.
EDIT: I have solved my issue. I just came back to tell what I did in case someone else hits this problem. Every time I took the battery out and put it back in, my phone would instantly turn on. After about a million times of taking my battery and putting it back in, I noticed that every so often it wouldn't boot up (either because I put the battery in weird and readjusted it or left the battery out for a long time). Whenever my phone would not boot up on its own and I booted into the bootloader, everything would work great. Once I realized this, I left my battery out for about half an hour, put it back in, and everything worked out great. I installed a new ROM and my phone is back to the way it was.
I am having a really weird issue with these. So, sometimes all is working fine and then suddenly (after a reboot or even after unlocking the screen) the capacitive lights stop working (or don't go off at all if I unlock again) and the auto brightness does not work. I restart, take battery out, power on and nothing happens. Tried different ROMS (ARHD, DarkSense, stock one), different kernels (Sebastian, Faux, Sultan's) and the same happens. Everything is working fine and then suddenly it just doesn't. Even today I wiped everything on my phone, flashed ARHD with faux's kernel that it includes and all was awesome. Installed my apps, my games, restored the save games with titanium and was good. Rebooted, took battery out, power on again and all was fine. Did some benchmark, all good. Then I did a nandroid just in case it fails again. After that, I played a bit on the phone and copied some albums to sdcard I was impressed how it was lasting so long without everything to break again. Then I rebooted and everything started again. I rebooted and after the screen went off (not completely, I could see some light on it still) the capacitive lights stayed on for like 15s or so. After they went off, I took battery off and powered on the phone and guess what? Capacitive lights don't work neither does auto brightness. Formatted sdcard, fixed permissions, rebooted and nothing once again.
I shall say that capacitive lights work all the time while in recovery mode.
I am running out of options to try and to see what is wrong here. Here goes some options:
1- Battery. My battery does not last long at all. It's really weak and if it lasts like 8h with normal/low using is too much. I plan in buying a Anker battery to improve this.
2- Software. Is this possible? Because I tried with 3 different ROM's, 3 different kernels and all happens. Unlikely.
3- Hardware. Light sensor broken + capacitive lights or some connection? Really unlikely, imo. If it was like that they would be always off and not power on when on recovery mode. Plus, sometimes after I fix permissions/format sdcard all works good.
4- Sdcard. Perhaps it's faulty? I have 2 more but can't try them now, just on friday.
5- USB cable? No idea...
6- ???????
7- You name it.
PS: While writing this post I rebooted into recovery, formated sdcard and fixed sdcard filesystem with the phone just on battery. Ater that, took battery off, power on and nothing. Then, I took battery off, rebooted into recovery, connect the phone to the power socket to charge, formated sdcard, fixed card filesystem, fixed permissions, took battery off, reboot and...gues what. It is working. All is working good. This is a ****ed up issue, I guess and I think all points to battery, for some reason. Any help here? Thank you!
EDIT: Just copied some music albums again to sdcard and after that switched off the phone. Took battery off, powered on and everything stopped working again. This while on battery. Power phone off again, connected to the power socket and turned it on again. Does not work. Disconnected the cable, rebooted into recovery and formated sdcard. Rebooted and...it works. What the hell? Next: copied an album to phone. Disconnected it properly in Windows and waited on phone for sdcard to be mounted. Reboot while on battery...and it works.
Any clue?
bumpy bump
First of all - Yes I am rooted. (E6653) And i have Xposed running. 64GB micro SD
Now the problem is that my phone randomly doesn't boot anymore. I don't know why, it doesn't seem to have a pattern. If i reboot my phone, it boots and i see an unfinished home screen, its shuts off and the red LED flashes 3 times and so the cycle continues. If i remove the SD card my phone works just fine as always. I can format it and stick it back in without a problem. But this keeps on happening and its driving me nuts!
A big thank you for any help!
hello?!
grrrr
i have the exact same rebooting cycle problem. take sd card out and all good. put card back in and rebooting problem kicks back in. only way to stop it is format card.....which is ridiculous.
is there a fix known for this problem?
