Just got 2 new s8+ phones and recently I've noticed when you hit the power button to turn the phone off it makes the background picture turn to grayscale for a few seconds before the screen goes black. I checked my wife's phone and hers stays in color and does like a side to middle fade as it turns off. Mine is different. Is there any way to change this? Has anyone ran into this before? It's not a big deal but it is kind of annoying at the moment. Thanks

Quite frequently when I hit the red button the screen goes off and then instantly comes back on. If I repeatedly hit the red button it just keeps going off and then popping back on. Sometimes it does go off, sometimes it doesn't.
Other times it goes off and then later for no apparent reason it comes back on.
Any ideas?
Turn up your backlight
It's a bug. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this happens when your screen brightness is set to 40% or less. Turn the brightness up, and the problem goes away.
Nice, I turned up my brightness and so far so good...
Thanks.
VZW TP with Mighty ROM 6.
Hey guys, I started experiencing this weird problem yesterday. Basically, when the phone is turned on from sleep mode, whether I pushed the button to turn it back on, I get a phone call or text message, whatever...it doesn't show an image on the screen. I can see the screen itself light up (backlight or whatnot), but nothing else. Just a blank, black screen. It happens randomly. I've found that if I hold down the enter key on the d-pad, and turn the phone on, it works fine again.
Any clues, suggestions, advice?

You may want to try a program such as S2U2 and see if your phone will wake correctly.
Hi,
Picked up a HTC one S of off a mate today who dropped it and cracked the screen. Replaced the screen for him but it's still not working. Here's symptoms and what I tried.
-black screen all the time
-phone boots, three buttons at bottom lit up, LED flashes green and if I call him the phone vibrates
-if I hold down the power and volume buttons down, once the home lights have flashed 15 times I see a few lines of flicker for a fraction of a second on the screen and then nothing.
-Touchscreen appears to work as it vibrates when touching it (and I'm inputting text presumably?)
-He hadn't customised/flashed any other ROM on there.
Can someone perhaps shed light on next steps for troubleshooting?
Thanks

I have had a 955(European, but I live in Canada) for about 3 months or so and just recently the phone's blue LED light turned on and just doesn't want to turn off. It is dimly lit but disappears briefly when I restart the phone. I have tried to reset the phone several times with no effect. When the light is off (for the few minutes after restart), LEDs pop up like normal (white for texts, green for calls). When the blue light turns on and stays on, no other LED shows up. I haven't made any changes to the phone in recent times. On a side note (I don't know if it's related), the phone has also been dropping calls several times per day as of late, sometimes upwards of 20 times per day. I changed the SIM card but that didn't do anything. The phone itself has also been acting a bit bizarrely, where random apps popped up without being opened, and call screen doesn't disappear even after pressing "end call." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is getting quite irritating.

I have had my z3 for a couple months now. Yesterday the screen dimmed down significantly and will not brighten back up no matter what I do. I have turned of "Auto Adjust" and all that. I have manually increased the screen brightness to maximum and it does not thing. The current brightness is good enough for indoor use in a area with not much light, but in a bright room or outside I can barely tell what is on the screen. I have powered the phone off and restarted it several times. It's like it is stuck in some kind of battery saving mode that it won't come out of. I made sure that all battery saving modes are turned off. Nothing effects the screen brightness no matter what I do. Please help!

Does it happen in safe mode? (Long press power button, long press "power off" text, ok). If it doesn't, some app is responsible. Last resort would be to do a factory reset.
