getting same here
So I've googled a bit,i could not find a actual solution.But here are some idea's:
Boot you phone i safe mode(on this link is a tutorial on how to do that: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-boot-your-phone-into-safe-mode/td-p/348008)
If the phone is on then go to settings-display and tick "adaptive brightness" or try untick if its alrady ticked, and then reboot your phone normally.
If that doesn't work out,try botting up without sim card,if it boot up normally go to settings-more- preferred network type and change to 2g.
I'm not saying this will work but this is what i found in 20 min googleing.Hope it works guys.Good luck
Sent from my E5603 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Black screen also ive got especialy after phone call :d only hardreset solve it here ..... perhaps it could be proximity sens faut or ? Disapoint from sony
I recall the exact same situation but with another phone. I used an app called lux to fix it. Maybe its the sensor but it's weird that just you had that problem.
another m5 black screen issue ....... it seems that many people going to say goodbye to sony forever pathetic situation...
sony support is out of words ....

Hi guys,
I've a very strange issue with my phone. l'll try to explain it precisely despite my awful english !...
I'm under revolution rom since the beginning and everything worked fine until I tried to use my phone as a modem (for a mac) during my hollidays.
when I go back to "normal" use, the phone started but the screen remained very very dark. I could see that the phone was turned on but it was like if the brightness has been set to minimum. I try to reboot into recovery, Re-flash the rom, restore a backup,etc.
One day, without any reason, the phone turned on normally and worked fine for two weeks. But, during the last night, I put my phone in plane mode and in the morning this ****ing bug was here again !
Any idea or solution ? Note that manipulations are limited because of the darkness of the screen...
hope also that my problem is understandable !!!...
Hi, your English is perfectly understandable.
Is your brightness set manually or automatically?
thank you,
the brightness is set automatically but I would be very surprised if my problem only deals with the brightness setting !....
I must add that sometimes the phone starts on normally but the screen freezes very quickly (at the code pin entering screen)...
I'm guessing you've tried switching to manual and turning it all the way up?
No I didn't...but the problem for now is that I can not access to the settings because the phone doesn't start normally !...
How does it start? Where do you get stuck?
Sometimes I can the HTC logo very dark and sometimes, as I said, the brightness is normal but the screen freezes when I have to tape my pin code.
I can also access the recovery mode, sometimes, by doing power button + vol. down button. By this way, I tried to reflash the rom, do a factory reset, but nothing works....
Whilst in the bootloader does the screen look darker there? Should be bright white, with text.
No, in the bootloader, I can see the text but it's also trough a darkened screen !...
If your screen is dark in the bootloader, which should be bright white then you have a hardware fault. Reflash a stock PD98IMG.zip or RUU and contact your network/HTC for a repair.
This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off. Its a bit hard to explain but pressing power lets the screen to come on for just a second but then it goes off...yet on the black screen you can slide it unlocked (screen stays off) A reboot goes back to the same issue. after many button combos the screen will finally stay lit. The only way I have found to cure it is to uninstall lightflow. (Im really not sure thats what is causing it) If you dont change anything when you lock it your right back into the black screen thing..... Anyone seen this using lightflow or not??
I've had this problem to. I had it when I was using the phone on stock without lightflow, as well as using it with HD revolution and light flow. I have no idea why its doing this though?
I had this problem when I used the app "Wave Launcher". I found the most effective way to keep the screen on is to call the phone, stay in the call, and uninstall the app..

Are you running the 350 mhz idle mod or UVing? Seems like your phone isn't getting enough juice.
I emailed the dev's a few days ago. They came back with the response to uncheck "s6e8aa0 control", which I believe is disabling access to the main screen. I haven't seen the sleep of death since. He also said to look for a future update which removes this option.
Hope that this was a helpful first post!

I have the same problem today! When light flow is active the screen goes on for a second and then stays black.
Sadly I can't find "s6e8aa0 control" in the newest version. Can anyone help?
Got it working. I should use the correct settings^^
But the program is not working how I would like it :/
This bug deserved a new thread.
If you've updated your phone to cm12, 5.0.2 then DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. in Settings>Display and lights DO NOT keep "Adaptive Brightness" and "Color Enhancement" switched on at the same time. If you do, and then EVER try to manually reduce the screen brightness to minimum, YOUR SCREEN WILL BO BLANK. PERMANENTLY. Not kidding.
AND IT WILL NOT RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION without a factory reset.
Things that won't work:
1. Pulling out the battery and trying to reboot it. Nope. Been there, done that.
Hope CM takes note of this.
AS a Public Service.....

Cure for it
well i have experienced it. but to avoid it you can choose the option
setting>status bar> and check Adjust brightness by sliding across the status bar.
so whenever the screen turned off you can swipe on the top from left to right so that brightness can be adjusted again!
you dont have to reset your phone.

happened to me also.... I thought it was a problem with a theme... so i initially rated it 2 stars on play store, but after i saw it was a problem with cm, i went back and gave that theme a 5 star rating...
SOLUTION!!!!
It is still possible to take control over your phone in this situation. If your screen goes blank, this doesn't means that your phone has stopped working, the phone is still functional and you just have to find a way to increase the brightness. If you ever encounter this problem just swipe the screen twice from top to bottom to open the status bar and then slide your fingers on the screen where the brightness controller is present. This will surely solve your problem without any factory reset bull****. Please note that during this complete process the screen will remain blank. I have tested it a hundred times and it works 100%.
this works ... instead of factory reset

Just install vysor in your pc and plug your phone to the pc. Now control your phone using your pc and increase the brightness same wy you reduced it. No need for any factory reset. Hope this helps.
you should Try this
Facing The Phone to Direct Sunlight or if in the night. face it near to the bulb. It will adapt light from the bulb and screen works then you can turn off adaptive brightness. That's works for me.
Hello, my Xperia Z5 Premium(E6853) has had some issues with it's screen recently. It started as a flickering of the brightness. I flashed a few different FTF files(The Austrian T-Mobile one and the generic Italian one) but the problem still persisted. The flickering was making the device near unusable out of annoyance. So I stopped using it and switched back to my Xperia z3 dual until I could find time to try and fix it. However now the display refuses to turn on at all. I reflashed the FTF file making sure to wipe everything but the screen still refused to turn on. What are my options in regards to fixing this situation.
I would prefer not to ship it all the way back to China if at all possible. I checked with Sony care CA and USA. Both are unable to help.
Hello, how did your screen flicker? Mine ( E6853) changes brightness weirdly when it is close to screen timeout locking, it's like normal brightness then high and then normal again. I am scarred it might end up like yours a possible fix might be disabling auto brightness, I will try it on mine and let you know.
About your os flash, try reflashing the original files if you saved then and also make sure you are not using the dual sim ftf on your single Sim.

I atempted to flash my original files, it did not help. The flickering was a 2-4 hz flicker, like a florescent bulb that is about to die. My Z5 also did the brightness changing thing that you described, however my D6503 and D6633 also do the same thing so I would not worry about that too much.
I turned off auto brightness and the problem disappeared. Try charging the phone for 30min then open the sim flap and you can see in the left a small white button press it for 2 minute and the phone should vibrate ignore the vibrations and keep the button pressed, after this try to power it on, this might help. You can also try the repair my phone in the software update tab on pc companion.

PC companion "repair my phone" does not work with modified software. I also tried holding the hard reset button down for 2 min, no change occurred. I contacted sony mobile UK and they said they would repair it out of warranty. At this time this is what I will probably do.
Hi,
I recently clean flashed Pixel Experience 12 plus rom on my Oneplus 5T (dumpling).
(file: PixelExperience_Plus_dumpling-12.1-20220614-1354-OFFICIAL.zip , source : https://download.pixelexperience.org/dumpling )
After that I am facing a serious issue regarding the display.
After screen is locked (by pressing the power button or using tap to sleep feature or screen time out), it does not light up at the time and after unlocking. The screen remains black. But it does not mean that the display is gone or the phone is turned off. Phone works perfectly fine at that stage except the issue. The touch, vibration, sound effects,locking-unlocking (through fingerprint), taking screen shot, notification and call facility etc. works normally.
Sometimes the screen flashes for some millisecond if I try to unlock it repeatedly but it is visible only in the dark room.
To get rid of this state I have to boot the phone in recovery (Orangefox) mode then turn it on or force restart the phone (force restart does not work every time. When it does not work the boot screen also remains black)
Surprisingly, I do not face the problem in fastboot mode or recovery mode. Also when Always On Display is on, I don’t face the black screen issue.
I have followed instructions mentioned in this page https://telegra.ph/How-to-install-Pixel-Experience-11-25
and flashed firmware.zip (whose link is provided on the page) and PE12 plus rom .
Please help to resolve this issue and let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you..
I have got the same issue on my MI A2. after replace display I worked fine with pixel experience. and I moved to stock firmware. that is got the same problem. how to solve that issue?
