My phone's screen randomly turned off and now everytime I try and turn it back on the screen stays black. But i feel the vibration so i'm not sure what to make of this.
EDIT: I guess my phone ran out of battery cause I'm an idiot and so it works. Just had to leave it charged it for a bit

Are you running a custom rom? Did you change any voltages or tweak anything? Can you see anything if you boot into recovery or download mode?

Does anyone know of a way to get the screen to shut off after the battery recharges? A popup box tells me to unplug the cable and the screen stays on until I hit ok. This irritates me to no end as I always charge my phone at night, so the screen stays on for hours. Any way to disabled the popup box our force the screen to time out?

I was just thinking about this, and I think I will use Tasker to turn off the screen when that happens.

I would also like to know the answer to this. That pop up is irritating in general.
Your screen doesn't turn off after? Mine always has shut off after about 2 seconds.

Same here, mine always turns off after that pop up.
Mine doesnt turn off either its annoying as hell and lights up my entire room. How can you manage this with tasker?

For other reasons, I prefer the option to leave the screen on while it's plugged in. So it doesn't shut back off once the popup happens.
Mine always shuts off after a period too. Do you have the setting on to stay awake when plugged in? Simple solution is to put your phone upside down when going to bed. I have to block LEDs on my computer, and its charger to sleep. My bigger annoyance was the sound it makes. I finally figured out that the System Sound controls that volume.

There is no solution to this. From what I read, Samsung changed it in Froyo build and put this notification on notification bar instead.
If you don't like it lights up in the middle of night, why you keep the phone wake while plugged in?

This is what I've resorted to as well, it's not perfect, but like you say, its really annoying to have it light up the entire bedroom at night. Fingers crossed its fixed in 2.2 like someone said.
In Settings >> Applications >> Development there's a setting named "Stay awake while charging" or something like that.
Does anyone with this problem, by any chance, have that checked?

Mine doesnt do that. The message pops up that the battery is charged and to disconnect the cable, but my screen doesnt stay on. Every morning when I get up my screen is off. As soon as I hit the power button the screen wakes up and I see the fully charged message is still there so I then hit ok, but my screen is never "On" when I first wake up each morning.

It turned out to be a problem with the AT&T JH7 update for me, actually. The screen would stay on regardless of whether that was checked or not (it actually re-checked itself as soon as I left the menu in JH7). Flashed back to JF6 and all is right with the world again. Thanks for reminding me about that option though, I was beginning to think it was some touchjizz quirk.

No such problem here with JH7.
Strange, I wonder why some people's stay on while some do not. If it were a "Stay awake while charging" option issue, then the phone wouldn't have shut off the screen in the first place when you first insert the cable.
What version of firmware are you guys having this issue using?
I'm on stock. Sometimes I actually miss when it's fully charged for an hour or two because it shuts off the screen after a few seconds.
Why not charge it with it off?

There are various reasons you may not want the screen to automatically turn off while it's charging. I would rather just manually click the power button if it's plugged in. I never rely on it auto sleeping the screen anyway. I just leave it charging overnight while I sleep so it turns on the screen when it's full and doesn't shut off.

Mine was one of the updates that "failed", but said it was running JH7 after reboot anyway. It actually worked well with noticeable improvements in GPS performance; apparently that screen problem was some side effect though. Who knows :\
I've been trying to reboot the phone to try to get into CWM so I can make a backup. But whenever I turn off the phone and then try to turn it on again it won't turn on. It eventually turns back on but after I pull the battery out and back again a few times.
Anyone else having a problem like this? And I'm sure the battery has had a charge before I powered off. Also is there anyway I can do a reboot or CWM with an app or something?
You know you have to hold the power button for a few seconds to turn it on, right? Not doubting you, just figured I'd put that out there just in case the solution to your problem could be that simple.
Sent from my N1. My G2x must be charging.
Haha yes, I've held it for much longer than a few seconds to no avail. I just keep removing and putting back in the battery and it eventually turns on. Could it be that I just have a bad battery?

Sounds much more like a bad power button to me. Do you have issues turning the screen on and off when your G2x is powered on?

Ok so I wasn't using my phone but it was turned on. I wake it up to use it and it turns off and starts vibrating every other second. I take the battery off and whenever I put it back in it does the same vibrating thing. It flashes the samsung logo twice and then just goes black and vibrates every second. Can't get into recovery at all. I tried going into download mode but it only goes in for about a second then flashes off. It's sort of like a glitch like display when it flashes off.
Any ideas?

make sure it has a good charge, what happens when u have usb plugged in
I plug the usb in and it just keeps vibrating. Even if I take the battery out and plug the usb in it does the same thing. It only stops when the battery is out and nothing is plugged in.
i think its a low battery, it does weird things when its really low, make sure ur using oem cable and keep it plugged into wall plug, not comp, for a couple of hours, did u read this, could b power button is stuck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716302
with no battery and cable plugged in it just vibrates, will not start
I apologize, I actually opened that thread and skimmed through it. The power button was just stuck internally. I just pushed it down a little harder to get it unstuck.
Phones back up and running. Thanks for the help!
Weird a couple of people have reported this issue now

I've noticed a problem that has happened twice with my new Nexus 5 so far - it will vibrate and then turn off. I don't know if it is going through its full shutdown sequence or not as what has happened is that the phone has not been in use, in my pocket once and I don't remember what the other time, and all of a sudden it vibrates once out of the blue, I go to check the phone and it is off. I can turn it back on again but find it weird that it seems to be crashing and then not even restarting - but being off. It is not rooted but the bootloader is unlocked so I can root in the future, if needed.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,

Maybe use a manual one over a vibrator

I was watching a youtube video last night and then I turned on auto rotation to switch the side. Once I rotate the screen, phone got stucked but it kept playing the video because I heard sounds. Then I locked the screen but still I can hear the sounds but then I couldn't turn on the screen. I thought it will be okay when I take off the battery. Then I put the battery and turned on. It vibrates as usual when turning on but can't see logos or anything. I can't even go for download mode or anything. When I turned on and it vibrates, after about 5 minutes I called it but it says "Phone is switched off!". When I stare at the screen I can see that it's screen is dark brown colored! That's only thing I can see on screen. What seems to be the problem? Is there any solutions?
Try taking the battery out for a few min... And then do a hard restart. Update me on what happens.

I did that. Hard reset by you mean home+power+volume up together right? Can't even go to that mode!

I can only feel the vibration when it's turned on. There's nothing to see in it. Not even the Samsung logo.

I have not a clue what you did.
you might need to just take the battery out and wait a few hours. And then charge it for a day.
Try that. Otherwise, bring it in.
