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.
I have installed the latest CM9 nightlies.
I have turned BLN off but have other settings to leave the capacitive buttons on.
However, whenever I turn on the screen, it has random on/off of capacitive buttons.
Sometimes it would turn on, and sometimes it would be off and all of a sudden it would turn on.
Anyone with this problem and know the solution to it?
It wasn't like this for TW.
Also happening to me on every build of CM9 since a while now, and also AOKP if I recall. I'm using the rogers model.
Hey All,
My softkeys (menu, home, back and search) are acting funny lately. They only work when they are not backlit, ie if they are not backlit they work properly but after the first initial press they don't work again until I leave everything alone for a few seconds and the backlight goes off.
They respond (haptic feedback/slight blink) when I press them while they are lit, so I know the actual keys themselves are working fine.
I initially thought this was a firmware upgrade issue (Running latest CM 10 right now) but the issue persisted even after using Heimdall one click back to stock i997 AT&T rom. It also has the same issue with the latest Beanstalk ROM as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be fine with disabling the backlight on the keys if that will solve the response issue but I can't figure out how to do that.
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.
As the title states, occasionally my screen won't wake up from sleep and the only way to turn it back on is to hold the power button down until it reboots. It seems that it happens when I leave the phone in sleep mode for an hour or two. I've been using the OnePlus one for only half a day and I've already encountered this problem twice. Is there a way to fix this?
Update your ROM, do a factory reset or flash a different ROM.
There's really no way of telling what's causing it with the info you've given but one of the above will most likely solve your problem.
I am having the same issue
It happened even when i flashed it to Paranoid android, and my rear camera and microphone aren't working. I got my phone from another place so OPO won't help me fix it
I bought my Oneplus One in India with CM11S stock unrooted and unmodified November build and i have the same problem.
The LEDs on the keys will ligh up but the screen wont wake up on both double tap to wake or power/lock/unlock button.
I had the same problem yesterday even on stock CM11 I went into my CWM recovery and just did a complete wipe and that fixed my problem. I believe in TWRP DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
