It's a normal. Maybe comming update solves it. It's only saving your battery

i have seen this one before, turn off automatic brightness, that solves it

search?

How to turn on auto turn off during call

I checked the power settings(I set it off after 1 Min),but the phone display is on during calls. It's on for 6-7 mins,not turning off. What to do? Please rep ASAP
Just press the power button on the top of the phone, and it will turn the screen off. Well thats what i do any way. Try it out
Dont hold it for to long otherwise the phone will turn off, just give it a quick press!
Download XperiaTweak v2.0
Hi,
I have the exactly opposite problem. I have installed XperiaTweak (current version) and enabled the option "Disable Screen Turning Off during calls", but it's still turning off after a minute (like the normal standby settings...).
Do you know the registry key etc. for that feature so that I can check the settings?
regards
Nils
Whats most retarded is why we can't have what the iPhone ALREADY does...
the Xperia X1 has a front facing (near your ear) light sensor. It should turn the screen off when it is next to your ear, and turn it on when you move it away from your ear... JUST LIKE HOW THE iPHONE DOES IT.
I mean, something this simple... why hasn't it been implemented?
Think about it. Why put the light sensor near the ear then? When not put it on the side or something? because obviously someone thought that, well, when the phone is near the ear, it will go from light to immediate darkness, and when moved away, dark to light.
Why cant we have somethign this simple? Or anyone know of a workaround or third party app?

The X1 as you probably know has no light sensor or accelerometer, so there is no way to interpret when the phone is at your ear or otherwise.

Actually, it does have a light sensor. What else do you think automatically adjusts the screen's brightness? This really is an ingenious idea, can someone cook up an app that runs in the background to do this?
I want to have light during call all time I tray Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 and did not find nathing no option on battery display or call thet will keep my back linght on durring call some idea?
And the touch pro 2 does have the feature to turn off screen when you put it to your ear. Devs?
I hate how when I'm on skype on the phone and the screen dims, cutting off my wifi.

Use Advance Configuration Tools to fix this by enabling Wifi during standby.

Screen not waking up after call ends or during call.

This started happening about two weeks ago. During a call when I pulled the phone away from my face in order to press the end call button, the screen did to wake up. I could not end the call. This has been happening quite regularly now. The screen simply does not turn on after or during a call. Even if the other person ends the call from his side, the screen on my phone does not start.
I was using the stable version of the official CM7 at that time so I flashed the rom again. Since that did not work, I did a clean installation of Mebitek's CM7 without restoring any backups. But I am still having the problem. I am now using the power button to end the call like a handicap person would.
I think something might be wrong with the proximity sensor or my battery. Since, I have absolutely no expertise of how the phone functions, I seek help from you guys. Please give me some suggestions.
try changing the proximity delay
Flash new rom.

Do u use a screen protector? I heard some might cause problems with proximity sensor.
Screen protector and wakelock

I used to have this same problem. The problem seems to be a combination of the screen protector/case getting in the way of the ambient light sensor and therefore not allowing the phone to accurately measure ambient light, and the phone going into some sort of sleep mode. I usually wipe my ambient light sensor off, and adjust my silicone case to allow the light to come in, but the thing that solved the problem for me permenantly was running the small app called wakelock to keep the system from going into complete standby. I am sure that this solution affects battery life, but I still get 10-12 hours between charges which is enough for me.
This thread talks about a similar problem, and this is where I got the idea to try this fix for our problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491223

No no no guys.. don't bother with reflashing and stuff, that's not the problem.. I had the same problem and I googled it for months until I've learned its a Samsung wifi hardware related problem and mostly Galaxy devices are affected. Something is wrong when phone goes in standby. It continues to work but you can't wake it and you have to reinsert battery to get it on again.
The solution is to install a tiny app called Wake Lock, it's there on market.. it keeps phone awake even when you lock screen. My phone doesn't shut off anymore and I can finally rely on it. I don't have to think anymore and check all the time if the phone is off and if I'm going to miss a call...
The alternative is to turn off wifi before you lock screen but I think that most of us need wifi on all the time to get mails and messages on time

Galaxy mini doesn't have ambient light sensor.
My mistake

I am of course mistaken. It is the proximity sensor that is malfunctioning due to the screen protector and case.

[Q] Screen Backlight not working after unlocking with active camera app ?!?

Hi Folks,
i have a strange problem that seemed to have appeared out of nothing.
The HTC One has this nice feature that when certain apps like maps and camera are active and the screen turns off, you don't have to unlock the phone when you turn on the screen again.
This feature is causing problems with my htc stock camera app. Because if i don't close the camera app, but turn off the screen and then turn it on again the display backlight is not kicking in. I can slightly see that the phone is unlocked, but it is so dark that i cannot use it. Only a restart of the phone fixes this problem.
Anyone had this problem before?
Any idea how to solve that problem?
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
i use ViperOne 4.3 rom and Bulletproof Kernel
thank you!!
nobody any idea?

[Q] odd bright flash when waking phone

I bought a new note 3 yesterday and I am noticing when I wake the phone I get a very quick bright flash of the screen before the lock screen appears. I believe the phone is trying to find the correct brightness level. When I turn auto brightness off the flash does not occur. Has anyone else seen this or could it be an issue with my hardware? any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have the exact problem with my N900A as well. I don't have a solution either.

I think it is just a software issue with auto brightness. If I turn auto brightness off it does not give the bright flash. I wonder if alot of people have this happening or if its a defect.
Yes I only have that issue with auto bright turned on so I believe that's the cause

Take screenshot gesture not working

Hello all,
My screenshot gesture is not working. No matter how many times I knock against my phone screen, it doesn't take any screen shots.
I've tried disabling it and enable it again but it doesn't work. Restarted my phone also doesn't work.
Do anyone have any idea how to resolve issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Knock louder? Maybe they're out the back
Personally speaking, this knock things was some of the first I disabled in this phone... There is a pretty useful button in notifications shade, or you can use volume down and power.
if you have tempered glass installed, make sure it has no airlift inside, that will be the cause
