Ok... I apolagize in advance if this has been muted before, but I really dont know what to search for.
My problem is, that when i make a call the screen turns off, ( As it should ) but when Im asked to tap in an extention number or 'press 1' etc I cant turn the screen back on, all the soft keys light up but the screen refuses to come back on untill I end the call.
If I dial in the number and the screen goes blank on connection, some times im able to turn on the screen if I move quickly enough and press the sta key.
Im running a htc hd2 with an the latest energy rom.
ditto
have the same problem, would love to find a solution...
Same problem here so I D/Ld Phonex from Iconsoft. Really like this a lot better and is so much more user friendly.
I'm not sure if you're having the same problem I was, but it sounds very similar...
What I discovered is that at the upper left of my screen protector, there are two round cutouts for the proximity sensor. The screen protector has never adhered very well at this point, and it was pulled away from the glass, causing the phone to belive that it was constantly near a face, and blacking out the screen.
I discovered this after being so frustrated that I removed the screen protector, and *voila!* the telephone worked as advertised. I used a hair dryer to warm the screen protector to re-adhere it, and the phone still works properly, but I don't know for how long.
I understand that there is a registry setting to disable the proximity function for the phone, but I haven't gone to this length.
I hope this helped!
I had the same problem till i change te Radio version to 2.10 or above then it disappeared
I have the same problem, screen protector causes this problem for me....
Since today my screen goes on when any movement over the sensor on the top of the phone.
You see the little sensor at the top next to the N of Sony EricssoN? Well, if i go with my hand an inch above over it my screen turns on! So in my pocket the screen is constantly on obviously and this drains my battery very fast as the screen is the most heavy battery drainer of your phone.
My wife has the same phone and she doesn't have this problem.
Does anyone have any idea how I can switch this off?????
this is very annoying!
Cheers,

Odd, i dont have this issue.... how does one turn on the prox senser anyway?
turning off is now more my concern I have no idea what happened. Of course I play lately a lot with it since I rooted it, so I might have changed something which effect on this sensor...
Hey everyone,
I'm having issues with my screen not turning off at times and I think it has to do with Smart Stay. I'm not even looking at the screen and the screen would stay on. Last night I was playing around with my phone, I left the room, came back and my screen was still on. The other issue I have is when I'm reading a long email the screen would turn off. Is this a software issue or do I have a defective phone?
Forgot to mention, I have the Rogers version.

Your face has to be centered in the upper right hand camera. That is a little off centered. So turn your front facing camera on and center your face. That's where your face should be. It's not using your eyes but it's using facial recognition to stay on.
As for your screen not turning off... how long is your screen set out for?
Lastly, turn smart stay off and see if it does the same. That will let you know the real problem.
I have noticed this effect on my phone as well. Above my computer area, is a lamp, that is somewhat round. Every once and a while the smart stay will detect an object that it thinks is a head, however it is not. So the screen will stay on. Just move it. The smart stay does not work 100% in lower ambient light also. So if this screen off issue is occurring more often at night or in low light environments, that is fairly typical. Your phone is fine.

Ok, I turned on my front facing camera to center my face. I have to say that's an awkward way of holding the phone to make sure Smart Stay detects your eyes.
My screen is set to time out for 30 seconds.
I did turn off smart stay last night and my screen turned off. I know it's an issue with smart stay. But could it also be a front facing camera issue? It seems to take pictures okay though.
get out of the house now. You have a ghost.
I have the AT&T H900 V10 and I can't figure out how to keep the second screen from dimming when the main screen is off. It's so dim that I can't see it unless it's directory in front of my face, and no buttons seem to brighten it without during the main screen on. Is this something that can be changed? I'm not worried about battery life since it stays plugged in 99% of the time.

So far there doesnt seem to be any way to control this, other than covering the light sensor until the second screen goes off, then letting it come back on at greater brightness for 3 seconds or so until it dims again. Maybe LG is trying to make sure it doesn't drain battery but maybe they will adjust it with updates or give us control over it.
It pretty much makes the second screen useless as I can't see any notification without turning on the main screen.... and no LED light so this kind of makes me want to rage.
My phone was working fine when I went to bed last night. I laid it on my night stand and this morning I noticed I couldn't get the screen to light up. The blue LED was blinking like I had messages. The Menu and Back buttons light up when I press them, and I can even hear when someone is calling me, but because the screen will not light up, I can't answer. The phone screen is in near perfect condition, not a scratch or crack on it and I also have a cheap protective screen over it.
Hoping it was just a glitch, I removed the battery and held the power button for about 45 seconds and powered it back on. Same thing, black screen during the entire boot process, no logos or anything. I also tried to boot it in safe mode with same results. There is only one time that the screen shows any signs of life and it only happens when I first power it on. In the top left corner for a split second, where the usual "Bootloader is unlocked" message appears, it displays a small rectangle of colored artifacts inside that small message area.
I assume the LCD went out, but I'm concerned it could also be related to the GPU or other hardware, and so don't want to spend a lot of money buying a LCD if it's something else. I can still connect it to the PC, so I'm hoping someone knows how I can test the hardware from the PC, or at least recommend something. Right now the phone is ringing and I have no idea who it is...this sucks!
