[Q] Screen On Issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just made a bunch of mods and now I'm having trouble getting the screen to turn on. Here's what I did:
1) Unlock boot loader (Used Android Toolkit)
2) Root (Same kit as above)
3) TWRP (Same as above)
4) Installed center clock mod (This one)
5) Installed smaller DPI nav bar (This one)
6) Installed 4-in-1 reboot (This one)
After all were finished, once my screen turns off, I see it kind of light up again (though still blank) and if you press the power button, the lock screen flashes on for a moment and then automatically shut off again. All the way off. A brief moment later, I seen the screen come back on but blank.
I read there was a possible compatibility issue between the center clock and small DPI mods so I removed them. Still have the issue. I can't see how the 4-in-1 could affect the screen.
Any ideas? I search but couldn't find anything close to the issue.
Thanks

Here's a video. Hopefully the screen off but really on glow comes thru the vid.

I had too many issues so wiped back to stock.
The toolkit has a few bugs.
The center clock and small DPI nav bar apps had compatibility issues.
I was not able to revert back to stock with the 4-in-1 app.
Apparently there are still some issues with the toolkit ver 1.1. From my little investigating, I think there's a simple typo in the programming and it's looking for an older version of SuperSU (1.65 vs 1.69).
I'm back to stock, unlocked and rooted. Screen/display works.
I have no idea what broke or how it broke but it's back to normal now.

Turns out my issue was with Light Flow. Not sure on the exact steps to get this to happen. But after 2 wipes and one rebuild without any restoring, I can get the issue to duplicate.
I personally believe it has something to to with being rooted and having the app use rooted options.

I think..I might've messed up my Captivate?

So, I installed the Evo4G statusbar found in the Themes section of the Captivate section, and it worked fine. But today, I decided I didn't want it, so I tried to install the stock one (Also found in the same thread), and it asked me to reboot. Once I did, it rebooted, but wouldn't go past the splash screen. Well, it did, but it stayed at a constant black screen. The bottom four buttons light up if I touch them, and it vibrates if I hit it enough. But the screen doesn't seem to work. At this point, I held the Menu/Home buttons (See if it did anything?) and Safe Mode came on the bottom left of the screen. I'm able to boot into the Recovery Menu, but none of the options do anything to help with my problem..
I really need my phone, and hopefully I didn't brick it. Any ideas?

[SOLUTION] How To Fix "CM Lockscreen Has Stopped Working" Error in OnePlus One 38R

[SOLUTION] How To Fix "CM Lockscreen Has Stopped Working" Error in OnePlus One 38R
DISCLAIMER: I do not guarantee that this method will work for you, but it doesn't require ROOT or a custom recovery, etc. So, it's safe.
So, three days after OTA updating my OPO to XNPH38R, I randomly got the "unfortunately, CM Lockscreen has stopped working" error, and my phone became virtually unusable. I was devastated! I didn't want to wipe my phone. So, I decided to just got into Recovery and wipe the cache. But my custom recovery was freezing, so I decided to boot up my computer and try to re-flash recovery... And while I was waiting for my computer, I stumbled upon this work-around. I hope it helps someone.
WORK-AROUND METHOD:
Step 1.) Reboot your phone. (You'll have to hard reset it by holding the power button down for 5+ seconds.)
Step 2.) After the phone restarts and you're faced with the persistent error of death again, just press the power button once to turn off the screen. Then, turn the screen back on.
Step 3.) When you turn the screen back on in Step 2, the screen should be totally black with the capacitive buttons still lit. If this doesn't happen, try repeating Step 2 until it does.
Step 4.) Just leave the phone on with a blank screen and lit capacitive buttons for 20+ seconds. This seems to be an important step.
Step 5. Turn your phone screen off and back on again. For me, this fixed the persistent error. Yay! Hopefully it works for you. However, for me, the error came back again in only 5 minutes, and I had to repeat the entire procedure. Which is why we need Step 6.
Step 6.) Disable the lockscreen. This can be done by going to System Settings > Lockscreen > Screen Security > Screen Lock, and then choose "none" to disable the lockscreen entirely. This has kept the persistent error from recurring for me for 12+ hours.
And, that's it! That's all. You get to keep your data and information. And you get to keep the latest OnePlus One software version... However, unfortunately, you lose all lockscreen Security. But, you could maybe try installing a third-party lockscreen like "GO LOCKER" until OnePlus recognizes this problem and fixes it in the next update.
Good luck everyone! Lemme know if this works for anyone else besides me.

This is not working for me as i cant get my phone to the stage where the screen is black with only the buttons lighting up
Alternative solution
I too faced the same problem with the lockscreen after changing my wallpaper.
However the method mentioned above did not work for me.
I tried this instead.
1. Restart your phone by holding down the power button for a few seconds.
2. Turn off the screen.
3. Use the play music gesture: swipe down 2 fingers to start the music player. (tried the camera gesture but did not work).
The lockscreen problem disappeared since then. I have also turned off the lockscreen in the settings in fear of it reoccurring.
Hope this helps any of you suffering from the same problem.
Cheers!
I found another way to get your phone unlocked
So the solution that was provided by Marvelite did not work for me. I tried many many MANY times, but to no avail.
After looking around the interweb, I found some other instructions to root my phone (FYI I had no experience in rooting) and I was able to fix it without flashing or re installing anything.
So... what did I do. All I did was unlock my phone. I got my phone and remember saying it was unlocked, as you could use any carrier. That is not what I mean by unlock. What I mean by unlock is you cannot flash it or erase it. See the command line window below saying the phone is not unlocked and that is why I cannot flash it. I thought I had to flash it or erase it to get everything working. Just unlocking it fixed the CM Lockscreen Has Stopped Working error.
So what will you need to install on your computer and do to your phone.
1) Download adb-setup- 1.3.exe (if you type "adb-setup- 1.3.exe" into google, you will find a download) and install ADB system wide on your computer.
2) Put your phone in Fastboot mode and plug it into your computer. To do this, have your phone completely off and then hold the volume up and power button. You will see the screen of your one plus one in fastboot mode.
3) open up a command line window (as in my attached picture) and type fastboot oem unlock
THIS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE! After I typed in fastboot oem unlock, my phone reset itself and it was though I had hit the factory reset.
You can see from the command line window attachment, that I tried to flash my phone based on this workflow (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061), but I did not even need to do this, because my phone was not unlocked. Then when I unlocked my phone, the problem was fixed.
I hope this works for those that have this horrible bug.

Display not working - colorful noise

Hi.
My friend give me his old (broken) HTC Sensation 4G.
The problem is that screen is not working - it display colorful noise, touch screen is working.
I tried to go into recovery and magically screen start working properly. I done factory reset, update it to ICS and after night problem came back.
Now I figure out, that :
- I always can go to recovery (this problem never happen there)
- normal boot occurs this problem
- if I wake phone screen light came up, I see colorful noise (for some ms, very short), display is working normally (or not, last part is pretty random)
- if problem occurs it's kind of permanent - I need to go into recovery to "fix" it
I found some threads, but all of them is dead and without solution or "contact HTC support" solution.
Can I fix it at my own ? What cause problem ? - I mean, screen or something at motherboard.
Thanks.
Edit:
I just discover, that :
- if phone is warm it always work
- if I leave it to cool it not work
- In state between cold and hot it still works, but when I press power button I can see static colors and after while it came up
My assumption would be that it's hardware related. Try prying the device, and check the part below the digitizer. Sorry, that's all I could help (I once own a Sensation but never experienced this)

Could really use some help with Lg Tribute 2

Hello everyone, Hope all is well with you all. I bought the Boost Mobile Lg Tribute 2 [LG LS665] [android v5.1.1] about 3 days ago now and as with any new android based device I get, gaining root and installing a custom recovery becomes my first priority. Well gaining root was no problem at all for me using the KingRoot app but the problem occurred when uninstalling some system apps\ bloatware. I uninstall the same system apps every time I get a device with no problems whatsoever. On my new Lg Tribute 2 I didn't uninstall anything I haven't before except this time when I restarted my phone I was(and am everytime I restart now) greeted with the usual phone initial setup accept it starts at the accessibility screen. Now keep in mind that my phone is already setup and has apps installed. When I continue the setup it goes through as normal and all my apps and wallpaper are still there accept my status bar won't pull down and my home and menu buttons don't work anymore. When I restart as stated previously I'm confronted with the initial accessibility setup - choose language - choose wifi etc ..... What i have found today is that instead of going through the initial setup at each restart I can instead access the settings through the lock screen and when i choose Settings \Home screen\Select Home\ and pick 'Home' it simply bypasses the setup and loads the home screen which is great accept when I go that route my Home and Menu soft keys are still disabled (not highlighted and unresponsive) plus my status bar still wont pull down unless the phone is locked. What did I uninstall to do this. I can't remember what apps i uninstalled off the top of my head and can't find a list of preinstalled system apps on line to compare with. I know this is long so I apologize but I am stumped. Google search comes up empty as the Tribute 2 is fairly new as is 5.1.1 so any help would be appreciated very much. Also I for the life of me cannot find anything for the lg tribute 2 that could help me such as a working custom recovery, a stock image or any custom roms. Thank you for taking the time to read this very very very much.
Summary of problems:
1. Confronted with initial phone setup at each restart even though phone is setup.
2. My status bar won't pull down unless phone is on lock screen. (luckily because this gives me access to the phone settings and homescreen).
3. My soft home and menu buttons don't work at all ( only back button still works).
4. Cannot find stock image on line to reflash.

It sounds like you just need to complete the setup screen, is it connected to a Google account? I had a similar problem when I needed my Google password to complete setup. It's called Google FRP factory reset protection

[Q] condensed scale option phone appears hung

Hi
I got my new S7 today and was looking at the settings, noticed a new condensed display setting which I enabled, the phone said it needed to reboot so I hit reboot.
Now for last 5 minutes is just sitting there either stuck or processing? The blue light is dimming on and off, otherwise no sign of anything.
Is it normal to wait for the change or has something gone wrong?
This is on a out of the box setup, no TWRP, root, custom rom etc.
After an hour I used the hard reset feature (vol down + power button), it rebooted successfully, shows condensed selected but the DPI didnt actually change.
Not a major issue assuming i can still change UI via xposed.
