Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.
I have an annoying problem with my HD Mini.
While talking on the phone the screen goes black which is normal and useful property. But my phone does not wake up, especially at darker conditions. It doesn't wake up even I press any button on the phone (stand-by button, volume button, home, back etc.)
For example, when i call someone in a dark place and the voicemail answered the phone, i couldn't hang up the phone because the screen doesn't come back and none of the buttons work. In this case, the only solution is either to remove the battery or place the phone under bright light to hang up the phone.
I've tried touch in call screen tweak but it doesn't work on my hd mini.

that's normal behaviour of proximity sensor,anyway you can hang up by pushing the hard button
what you have said is one of the main problems since the telephone doesn't wake up even i press the hard buttons.

hmmm that's weird..
i read somewhere here on forum that a guy had the same problem and he just opened up the phone(not only battery cover) and cleaned the proximity sensor of dust and then everything worked as it should.
btw..i tested last night in dark to place a call in dark room,and when i put the phone away from my ear backlight was on ,so it should be on even in dark room...
p.s. be sure u didnt install any app which has option to change settings of sensor,like CHT
I will try to open up the phone and clean the proximity sensor.
But this still doesn't explain the wake-up failure even i press the hard buttons. Is there a setting about this issue which disables the hard buttons while talking?
here is the post of guy who had this problem on the same phone and he solved by cleaning the sensor

Good luck

Basically the title says it all. During the first few minutes of a call, I usually have no problem moving the phone from the face and then seeing the screen light up. However, after ~5 mins on the phone, if I move the phone away from my face to hang up or something, the screen doesn't light up at all. I tried wiping the sensors on the top with my clothes, fingers, anything, but the screen still stays off. Only after I press the power button or home key does the screen turn back on.
I tried googling this but haven't found any answers.
Thanks in advance, you guys rock btw.
EDIT: Is it possible this has to do with the Sleep settings? Additionally, what is sleep? I'm confused about that too.
I am having problem with the call screen. I call someone and while I am talking the screen becomes off as usual while the phone near my ear but when I take phone away from my ear, the screen still stay off state and it does not change to on altough I press the power and all of the other buttons. But it does not happen all the time. Does/Did anyone have this problem? And who knows the solution?
Hi everybody i hope you can help figure out what is wrong whit my phone.
I have an HTC one M8 last week i forgot to charge my phone and let the battery completely drain out. After i charged the phone the screen stayed black but the phone still works. When i touch the screen the phone still vibrates and if i use the volume buttons i can hear the noise and i can even hear the noise the phone makes when i get the notification that i am low on battery but the screen stays black. I wanted to do a factory rest but i can't because i can not see the screen.
Has anyone a solution for this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
Have u tried a hard reset hold power button and volume up button together for about 20 secs then hold volume down until it boots to recovery might take some time getting the button combo right because u have dark screen but give it a try
