As per subject.
My missus phone is having problems.
The lights for the homr, back, menu and search buttons and also the call and end call buttons lights are constantly on. The stay on regardless of screen brightness, screen on or off or phone locked or unlocked. Also the keyboard lights dont light up at all either.
She doesnt want to factory reset as she will loose everything :/ and she doesnt want the hassle of bavking everything up etc.
Just wondered if anyone had come across this and had a simple fix?
Ive tried pulling the battery and rebooting to no avail. Her phone is completely stock, unrooted and locked just as she bought it.

Might be an app that overrides the system settings? Had this once while I was testing an app that my buddy build... Was fixed after deleting the app...

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?
Has anyone else had issues with waking up the phone?
Every so often when I hit the power button to wake the phone, the screen turns on but looks super glitchy for a second or so, then shows the normal unlock screen.
When I unlock the phone, it instantly turns the screen black. The phone is still "on" as I can push icons, etc. If i push home the phone still vibrates but the screen will not "re-awake" unless I push the power off and on again. This has been happening quite a bit and is annoying to say the least. I also seem to be having in phone calls with the light sensor as the screen goes black just as I am about to push push buttons while I am in a call.
Is this just me or are others affected by this. I didn't see this issue discussed within all the other reboot/glitches threads.....
Mine is a little lagy when unlocking and occasionally I get a weird squiggly looking screen for a moment, then it is fine.
I assumed it was because I have a SetCPU profile set to 216 with a priority of 100 when the screen is off.
Mine when I unlock it it stays on the lock screen. The phone is still "unlocked", but it shows the lock screen and it doesn't change no matter how many times I lock and unlock. It is very annoying. I got it on CM7, Bionix, and the GB leak. I went back to stock 2.2.2 just because of this reason. Anyone know what it could be?

I just went back to 2.2.2 for that and many other reasons.
Working great

I've been running into an odd glitch with the lock screen every now and then. The visuals on the lockscreen are shifted up halfway, and the bottom half is black.
If that doesn't make sense(ha ha, pun), the ring pull is in the center of the screen, and the top half is pushed off the screen.
The touch spots for the icons and ring are still at the bottom, however. So I need to press in the blackness below and slide from there. Everything animates properly, but it's rather clearly not right. Plus, anything I have set to display on the screen (weather, clock, etc) isn't visible and so kinda useless. Changing lockscreen types doesn't seem to clear it, I have to do a restart.
Anyone else run into this before? I'm willing to bet a factory reset cleans this up, but I'd like to leave that as a last ditch effort.
I would suggest resetting the device back to factory. At least all of your apps would re-sync to the phone.

I was changing ringtones today and the display went off because I stopped for a second. I went to turn it back on and the lock screen had the lock at mid screen and wouldn't unlock. Had to pull the battery.

Even tho the ring appears in the middle, you can unlock it just like its at the bottom and it will unlock. Mine has done simular where there bottom half is just black.
Yes this happens to me too sometimes. not often though. Once i restart the phone it goes back to normal. not a big issue for me.
I have searched heavily for this issue and have not been able to find anything. If I have missed a post, please point me in the right direction.
I have a T-Mobile T959v that is completely stock Gingerbread. It has been carrier unlocked via NCK unlock code. Everything seems to work just fine on the phone. The problem is when I dial a number and press the call button on the screen, the dialer will swoop off to the left side of the screen and never return. The notification bar is still visible. The navigation buttons at the bottom all light up. The navigation buttons do not seem to work during this time. Even after the call is ended by the other party I have to pull the battery to get the screen back to normal and the navigation buttons work just fine until I press the send button when making another call.
I have installed a couple of new proximity sensors. - Did not fix the issue.
I have tried factory resets and clearing cache. - Did not fix the issue.
I have used the Heimdall One-Click to reflash the phone (did not reflash bootloader). - Did not fix the issue.
Anyone experience this before? Is there a solution? Are there any suggestions on what I might try?
That's very strange. I've never seen that before.
If you are willing to read and try, you could try upgrading to one of the ICS or JB custom ROMs here and see if that helps.

I had this before on stock Gingerbread, I just flashed up to ICS. It pissed me off.
Hi
I have owned this phone for about 1 month now and haven't got round to testing all of its features yet. I recently tried the keep screen turned off setting but it doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps it's broken or something. Proximity sensor seems okay and auto brightness works.
Any ideas?
Keep screen turned off is only to make sure that when your phone is in your pocket or bag and the home/lock button accidentally gets pressed the screen turns off straight away to conserve battery.

Yes that's right. But when I activate this setting my screen will still turn on and stay on when in my pocket, bag, any other dark place.
Has anyone else got this problem. Is there anyway of fixing it. Btw I have tried factory reset twice to no avail
Thanks
I have same problem and my friend with s6 have same. Its all about android 7 on Samsung.

I have the exact same problem, here's my quote from another thread:
I have a similar problem. The proximity sensor itself works flawlessly during calls and in the test menu, but even though I have the "don't wake up in pocket" enabled in the screen settings, it always wakes and turns the screen on (and starts to make accidental clicks) when in pocket and the home button is accidentally pressed by my leg/pocket. I made a factory reset which didn't help. I don't use Package Disabler Pro, so that shouldn't cause the issue. Any help on this?
