So i got an HTC HD2 recently and i found out that when making a call i want to check the time i have talking when im still talking but all i get is black screen is there something wrong with my phone?
No! the issue is the user lol
It's what is known as a feature!
It stops your ear from hanging up on callers.
It should give you a screen if you take it away from your ear for a few seconds, though sometimes it is a little slow. try pressing the home key?
Can't actually make mine stay dark when I tried.
to test it make a call and cover the sensors along the top of the phone with your finger, it should go dark then uncover and the screen should light up again.
I'd only worry if it never lights up again.
Hey... what could be happenin with my vibrant? if i open a keyboard on a grey screen (like msn talk or.. something grey ), the keys remainds for a little bit (not at full color, just the silhouette). It's not annoyng but.. i think that not all phones do this
Check for burn in.... I am getting my vibrant replaced within the next week (when they send it) because of a large C on the middle of the screen.... It only shows on grey or brown screens... Go to the market and search for jscreenfix and download it and there is a screen checker too.... Best of luck

but is not a burn in.. because i try with all screen testers.. and there's not any burn image.. just a second when i put the keyboard or something on a grey color screen
My phone did something similar, i was test my gps after doing the GPS Fix. Was using GPS Test by Chartcross. and i let it sit for maybe 20-30 minutes, cause i forgot about it, and when i went to close the app, the image was burned into the screen, took atleast 5 minutes for it to clear up. Is this the sign of the AMOLED's degrading? Cause thats what i read about them before i bought this phone that the organic material in the display is prone to degradation.
If this is the case, phones only, what 8 months old? if this keeps up, my screen might fail before my upgrade is due.
you have to go with hours of use not months. Either way, sometimes amoleds can be slow in clearing images that are on the screen along time especially, if the the phone is always being used. To question a burn in image you need to test for that specifically
I have just had my SGS2 replaced because of a broken screen, My old phone's home button worked in a different way to this one I was wondering how I revert back?
If i pressed the home key once on the old phone it would take me to the last used desktop, pressing it a 2nd time would take me to the home screen (far left)
With this new phone if I press the home button it just takes me to the homescreen selector app.
both phones are stock and running touchwiz.
is it because you have more than one launcher? maybe you could select one of them and tick the set as default checkbox?
how did you break your screen? sounds serious...
No I only have one launcher installed. When I plugged my phone into keis I noticed that there was a firmware upgrade available, I have now installed this and it has solved the problem.
How I broke my screen? Well I don't want to scare anyone as it has changed my views on this phone, but here goes:
my phone was only a month old and had never been dropped or miss used in anyway infact it was quite the opposite.
all I did to break my phone was put it in my pocket! And drove my car for ten minutes! I did have an old pair of jeans on at the time so they wher a bit tight but the phone should be able to handle this! I guess when I have pressed the clutch pedal my phone has twisted and there was a crack across the lcd (internally)
So don't put your phone in your pocket if the pocket isn't very big!

Sounds like you had it in your back pocket. I avoid tight jeans as much as possible. Don't want to break my precious phone!
Sometimes when putting my Touchpad into its slip case, I accidentally catch the unlock/wake button, but rather than turn off automatically it seems to stay on the unlock screen indefinately, by the time I realise there is hardly any battery left
I've installed Preware and few of the basic patches, but not a new kernel.
Anyone got any ideas?
I would just power it down before putting it in the case. That way the screen won't accidently come on.

That subtracts from the instant on tablet experience though.. Does it happen to anyone else, is this by design or have I done something?
I have had it stay on as well. I think it has to do with the screen sensitivity patch being set too high.
Removed the patch and its now working. Many thanks.
On my S6 edge I have on occasion seen that the black sleep screen suddenly showed the clock in big numbers (not the edge clock), and the faded away.
I know that I can get to see the edge screen by swiping up and down. But for the life of me do not know how to get the clock to appear on the sleep screen.
I have tried the home button, volume buttons, power button but all of this basically just turns the screen on.
Any suggestions?
in edge setting.
@Alex clock setting

Thx Alex, but that is the setting for when you switch on the S6, and the you can see the clock on the lock screen.
I have found an image on google for what I am looking for , seen encl image. But then without using th the trasparent case.

That screen should only be possible with the Clear View case on. Are you using any type of case with your S6?
There are magnets inside the Clear View case which the phone uses to detect when the cover is closed to display that screen.
There might be a bug with your phone if that is happening.
Do you have any strong magnets around your phone, like a speaker or anything, that might be setting it off? But even so, that still shouldn't happen since Clear View cases also have an NFC chip to enable that functionality to ensure that just normal magnets won't set it off (and to prevent fake cases and counterfeits).
Are you rooted and have some tweak installed that you forgot about perhaps?
That's the strange thing. It did show and I do not have any case for the S6.
No it was not close to a magnet.
It is not rooted.
Thx for the reply

That's very strange. Are you able to take a quick picture of it when it happens, I know that'll be hard to do.
Are you sure it is the exact same screen as the Clear View Case screen? Maybe it's something that looks similar, for example if you have a dark lockscreen.
Do you have Air Gesture Wakeup turned on (where you wave your hand over the screen and it turns on)? On the S4 you could make a similar screen turn on by using Air Gesture but on the S6 it takes you straight to the lockscreen. Maybe it's that in combination with something else?
I've been trying myself to get that screen to come on but without seeing what the actual screen looks like I'm out of ideas.

Thx for trying. Taking a screen shot would be difficult as it comes on only for a few seconds. Haven't seen it for the last few days strangely enough.
I got the same thing yesterday, it even had the edge tabs lit up from messages I had waiting. No case, but my phone was close up my laptop when I saw it, maybe a magnetic field thing??
That happens when you have a message or email or missed call from one of your 5 edge contacts. The pull out side menu also bulges out with the color of the contact. Very cool feature!
Thx that must be it. SOLVED

I just realized that yesterday, but I noticed that it only works when the phone is laying down and your really need to pick it up quickly, if I slowly/gently pick up the phone, that feature doesn't activate. I also noticed that it likes to shut off fast, even interacting with the bubble, you gotta open up the app quickly as the screen doesn't give you time to actually read what's on it.
If Samsung tweaks that a bit to active more easily and keep the screen on a few seconds longer, it'll be a nice feature.
The occasional clock still happens on my phone
I just bought a Galaxy S6 edge+ two weeks ago... and the case I ordered for it should be here tomorrow.
The face, not the edge, of the clock lighting up when I pick it up has been happening randomly since I bought it. It is usually accompanied with the phone vibrating too. So it has nothing to do with the case (which I don't have one yet), or where the phone has been sitting.
I honestly thought this was a feature, and have spent at least 10 hours trying to track this feature down. Only to learn that the online manual is already outdated for my phone. I'm not sure what came pre-loaded, but the first thing it did was a complete upgrade to Android 5.1.1. ...and that took place via Wifi, even before I was able to activate the phone.
Granted, the phone works great! I seriously love it! But, completely randomly, as far as I've been able to tell, it shows the clock on main screen when the rest of the phone is asleep, when I pick it up. Meanwhile, the edge clock works great whenever I want it. But when pulling the phone out of my pocket, I would like to see the "big clock" on the main screen without having to hit a button or swipe the screen. But correct me if I am wrong. It would seem that the only "official" way for this to happen is to buy a certain type of case for it?
My mom has a Droid Turbo. And other than the insane battery life (48 hours talk time), the other feature I really like about it is that you can just wave you hand anywhere near the screen and the clock turns on. I was hoping that this was some sort of feature of the S6 edge+ too. But I guess I am wrong about this.
Any thoughts as to why the clock sometimes comes on, but most of the time doesn't, when I pick it up?

My observation is that this happens whenever theres a notification waiting, if the phone gets picked up with a pending notification it vibrates and shows the clock with the edge tabs visible too. Has anyone found a way to turn this on at will?
