I did search for this issue, but didn't find anything that matched my issue.
I have the latest Mighty Rom for Touch Pro. It's been working beautifully until recently. I usually keep my phone in my pocket with the screen turned off (locked). I've noticed lately that the screen keeps turning on without any interaction. I've gone through configurations to turn off screen blink for notifications and it still keeps coming on. This is driving me nuts, as it's draining my battery much more than it would if the screen would just stay off until I turned it on.
Any suggestions?

Do you have BT on? It could be that it is waking up because of communication between the device and a BT device.
Also will wake up when switching radio antennas. Maybe you are in a low coverage zone?
Wish I saw this thread before I posted this:

Sorry about that.
I have the exact problem. But I've had it with multiple ROMs, and even the stock Sprint ROM (original, and even after the firmware update). I've been suffering with this "wake up" for well over a year now. Pissing me off.
To answer the questions above:
No, I do not have bluetooth on.
I have a strong 3-bar signal at all times (3 bars under WM 6.5). The ANT is less than 500 feet from me, up on a water tower. My phone even has a clear line-of-sight to the ANT!!!
I have same isue!!!
Same exact issue, it's been going on since the day I bought the phone, when it came out. I gave up on trying to fix it

Still doing it months later wtf
You don't have an app installed called more bars do you? That app automatically enters airplane mode during low signal to conserve battery.

So I'm having this problem as well, on my new HTC One... it goes into airplane mode nearly every call I have... I'll probably have to go back to my iPhone if I can't resolve the issue. As stupid as it sounds, I'm fairly confident it's my ear touching the screen that's "navigating" into settings and turning airplane mode on... if I'm 100% concentrating on not touching the phone's screen at all, I don't have the problem. But if I'm talking normally, it never fails, the call drops, I look at the phone, and I'm sitting on the settings page with airplane mode on. I honestly don't know how this doesn't happen to everyone... I *THINK* my ears are normal!? Anyone come up with a solution??

Is your proximity sensor working fine? Is it covered with a screen protector?

Thanks... I installed the sensor app... seems to be working ok... it's showing "all or nothing" (9cm or 0cm) and seems to indicate the duration I hold the phone to my head. If I move my head around (not necessarily away from the phone) it indicates that the sensor thought I wasn't in proximity the full time... so perhaps there are brief moments the OS thinks I've pulled the phone away from my head. Maybe that algorithm needs tweaking (e.g. maybe wait 1-2 seconds of nothing in proximity before turning on screen?).
I don't have a screen protector.

found this on the htc one forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259526
I didn't read it, but it looks like you are not the only one having issues with the proximity sensor...
So I know this doesn't help much but wanted to add I'm having this issue as well. Not every call but maybe every couple of days or so. Does seem to happen when I'm using the phone, not an ear piece, and I'm moving around a lot. So might be something with the proximity sensor, though there is not quick button I could be hitting with my face to turn airplane mode on even if the screen was on. I have also noticed a lot of strange network issues where my single bounces between 4g, 3g and hsdpa often, which I've never had a phone do this much before. I can actually sit there and watch flip back and forth. So I'm really thinking the HCT One has some manufacture issues that are not being addressed. I'm about ready to send this thing in.
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.

Hello everyone, this happened just today. I was using my galaxy alpha AT&T and all of a sudden the screen starting glitching and jumping. I was quite shocked because I bought this phone a few days ago. Although the phone is not brand new but the vendor told me that it's completely fine. Anyhow, I pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds then turned the screen back on. This time the screen was fine but after a few seconds of usage the problem started again. Now i read on the internet that this is not a screen issue but rather its associated with phone's charging port but I'm not sure. And another interesting thing is that the screen shots are completely fine and there are no signs of glitching or flickering. Secondly also note that I was experiencing the famous "cannot charge because battery is too cold!" message and I believe that this problem is also associated with the charging port. So please if anyone is familiar with this problem then guide me. Here a video link that shows what's happening to my screen

If you have the screen on the lowest bright setting the flickering will continue. Once I put it back on auto or at a slightly higher level the flickering went away. That's at least what fixed mine.

I've never had encounter this kind of problem. Your problem is too severe. I think it is related to the hardware.
I have run into these issues several times. They seem to be related, but I can't say for sure.
Every now and then while I'm actively using the phone, 1/2 the screen will go away and the phone will be unresponsive. If I shut off the screen, then turn it back on, it usually clears up. Sometimes the screen won't come back on. It stays off no matter what buttons I press. So I put it on the charger, that triggers the screen turning on and everything is back to normal (the battery is always over 50% or more at this point). Yesterday this got to a point of happening several times in 1/2 hour, so I ended up rebooting to see if it would clear it up. This issue did not come back since then.
On a similar note, I was playing a game this morning in a dark room with the brightness turned all the way down. I was being very active in interacting with the screen. Every now and then the screen would go black, except for the notification bar. I could still see that (time and statuses of things running). The screen would not respond to any touches, so I would shut the screen off and turn it back on and all would be good. This happened 2-3 times over a 45 min period. I play this game quite often, but not usually in the dark and often not as actively as I was doing. My resolution is set in the middle (FHQ+ I think it's called).
Has anyone else run into anything like this?
This S9+ snapdragon through Verizon just seems to be plagued with so many minor issues. I've never had a new phone with this many problems.

As a followup, I think I have found the problem. It seems to be with a product called Game Tuner. It can black out the screen while leaving the app running in the background. I think it is buggy. Doesn't seem to be a way to shut it off though.

I was able to uninstall, then install an older version of Game Tuner and the problem that was easiest to reproduce was fixed. Hopefully this will prevent the weird 1/2 screen thing as well.
Hi everyone,
I'm sure this question has been asked by many users, but for some reason none of the ones I read seem to match the problems with my S6 Edge.
The other day I was playing music Youtube on my 3 year old S6 edge (for like 30min) and I forgot that autoplay was off, so the screen turned off, within 10 seconds of it doing so, I pressed the home button to 'wake it up again', but the screen won't turn on. the phone reboots once by itself but the screen remains off, and I know the phone's on because of the blinking LED light of messages, or the red when it is charging. The backlight lights up too, and it seems the screen's touch system works, as I am able to turn it off. I wait for a couple of minutes before hard resetting it (Volume down+Power key) and the screen lights up again and it's all good.
However, I have noticed this happening way too many times lately and noticed a bit of a trend. It usually happens when I use any app (except the music app) for 30 minutes or more, and if I manage to keep the screen awake, it works perfectly fine. The problem begins when the screen sleeps due to inactivity, or is voluntarily turned off. It also heats up quite a bit.
I am on the latest firmware, and have already formatted the phone once and tried, yet the problem persists. With that I suppose we can rule out that the problem is due to any third party app, or due to not updating the firmware. I also replaced the motherboard last year at a reputable phone repair shop, so I think it's a safe bet to say that's not the issue, but I am not 100% sure (the problems began 6 months after I 'unrooted' the phone, after replacing the motherboard).
As I kept going with it, it kept getting worse until eventually, now the phone is in a constant state of 'screen off but phone on', where it charges, plays music, can receive calls and messages, but cannot turn on the screen. I kept trying at 15 minute intervals to no avail, even though the phone is at room temperature.
Before I go blow a couple more 100 bucks on fixing this, I would like to hear all of your opinions on what the problem might be (and hopefully the solution).
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem but i have the galaxy s7 edge. often i can unlock my phone but my screen will stay black. no aod or backlight but the vibration from unlocking with fingerprint is there and the sounds of opening an app are also there...
