I am on Hboot 1.14. I've had a problem with the screen on my device since this morning. All was fine at first, then I flashed the latest ViperXL ROM using Flash Image GUI, which has worked flawlessly in the past. I did a factory reset, wiped everything. It installed fine but once it went to sleep I couldn't wake it up with the power button. The capacitive buttons lit up but nothing showed up on the screen, (except sometimes a very short blip of the lockscreen, then black again). I rebooted multiple times to try to change setting but nothing seemed to help. All was good until I pressed the power button to sleep, or it went to sleep on its own.
I assumed this was a ROM issue so I wiped and flashed CM10.1 m2, again with a factory reset and wipnig everything. Again, installation went great but the I'm having the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I wiped it all again and reflashed CM10.1. All is well so far. I'm thinking it may have been something I sideloaded, like LBE Security Guard, that doesn't like 4.2.2. It was silly of me to install my apps without being sure if a stable install first.
Re: [Q] Screen won't turn on after sleep
Hey could you put "Resolved" in the title? This way people will know.

Sorry. I'm looking and I can't see anywhere to mark it resolved or edit the title. Where do I do that?

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.
OK so I downloaded & installed the latest OTA update (RV23RC03; 1.057) with the power mode choices, and it has completely destroyed my touch screen response! I previously had ZERO problem with this- every key press registered on both the original ROM and the 1st update. Since the latest update, everything takes 2 or 3 presses, sometimes VERY firmly, many times still without registering. This totally sux
Is anyone else having this issue? I should note that I do have a matte screen protector on; this previously caused NO problems.
Is there an easy reasonably safe way to revert back to the 1st update (RV07RC06; 1.029)? A link and/or instructions appreciated. Thanks.
Acer, are you out there? This exact issue occurred with my A510 on its 1st update, after which it became nearly unusable for me. Since it was < 30 days I was able to return it. No such luck this time. Why are these updates doing this? It's driving me nuts!
No issues with touch on update. It seems to be running better actually.
Try to completely reset thru recovery with wipe data maybe.

That's so amazing. I went from no problem at all, to I can hardly use this any more; only thing that changed was the update.
Can you please be specific about how to reset through recovery. (Step-by-step if possible) and how to wipe data.
Thanks.
You can reset data thru settings/privacy but you will lose everything and start fresh.
I'll check on the other method later on for you.
Also turn up touch sensitivity in settings/display if you haven't...
Edit - it appears that the stock recovery doesnt have those options.
You can still reset by inside ICS like above, or...
Factory Reset:
WARNING: reset will start immediately
Volume button (one dot) and Power button, once buzzes release power button and then toggle the rotation switch on and off a few times
Yes of course, I have set screen sensitivity to high. I think I'd rather go back to 1st update, rather than wipe everything (I do have a backup but it's still a hassle). I can't believe no one else is having this problem.
Any idea how to revert to last update?
Someone in a german android forum mentioned that it help on his device after the update to set the sensitivity to the lowest setting and then back to middle or high.
I tried playing with sensitivity settings, turning on/off,resetting and no luck.
I actually found the ROM from before the update on this website and flashed it as update.zip with vol +power. It worked, I now have 1.029 back and touch screen works perfectly. I'm sorry to lose power management but i think I'll stay where I am . Don't ask me about a Jellybean update; I'll want it but after this I'll be afraid to try it. If anyone has an explanation for this i'd love to hear it.
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. Just got my second s6 edge today. First one I updated and got the usual screen rotation issue. This one I have NOT clicked on the update and so far it works just fine. Is it the update messing these phones up or is it something else? I know this has been asked a lot but I wanted to ask instead of digging through tons of sites on this all night. If it is the update is there a way to turn off notifications for updates for now? Im in my 14 day window but don't want to mess with going to the store again for number 3. Thank you for any help on this matter! Tempted to update to see but waiting. Using PC to charge instead of the fast charger as well.
It's not the update. I've updated mine and it's fine. Download the update, install the update, turn off the phone. Restart into recovery mode ( hold vol up, home button and power button until the recovery comes up) Do a master reset/wipe. Reboot into the phone and you should be good to go.

So this isn't a hardware malfunction with the gyroscope? Fast charge is ok and all?
I did the OCF update and no issues so far. Fast charging, gyroscope, auto brightness, deep sleep, all seem to be working fine.
What does a master reset/wipe do?

It wipes all your data and programs and returns the phone to factory default. Its like when you first got the phone, you have to go thru setup all over again. It actually called Factory Data Reset
I like doing it whenever I get a new update just so that it's fresh and clean. I'm talking about the one on to recovery screen. Not the factory reset in the Settings. I think there's a difference but I could be wrong.

That's good to know, thanks.
I'm personally gonna hold off flashing until 5.1 comes out. My S6E is just too stable with great battery life & no software issues and I'm nervous about something changing.
Hope Samsung releases 5.1 or 5.1.1 quickly.

Hello all, I have a problem and was wondering if anyone could help or maybe is someone has the same problem.
I have the s7(SM-G930T) and am rooted running Echoe rom v1.5... Everytime my phone is charging for more than 10minutes or so it becomes unresponsive. When I go to check it while its on the charger the screen stays black when I click the home or power button but the capacitive button lights come on. Sometimes I can get the screen to come on but most of the time I have to hard reset it and then is fine again until its back on the charger. I've went back to stock and re-rooted a hand full of times but it just keeps happening. After a fresh flash of the Echoe rom it's fine for a couple hours and then happens again. Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to be able to explain exactly what was happening

I've never had this issue before. Sounds like the Sytem UI is becoming unresponsive... Try wiping the cache, freeing ram, and use greenify(great application) to hibernate apps.

I've tried wiping the cache and freeing ram but haven't used greenify. I will try that to see if it helps, thank you
Edit: unfortunately greenify did not help. I guess I'm going to have to live with restarting it after charging or just revert back to stock. Thank you for your suggestions.
If any one else is having the same problem I was I fixed it by picking to keep the s7 apps instead of using the note 7 ux apps in the aroma installer on the echoe rom
