Brightness after phone call / key unlock issues

Hello everyone. I have an AT&T Tilt, and it's great so far, except for two issues:
1) After I end a phone call, the backlight seems to go off and the screen is very dim. Pressing keys does not bring the backlight back. If I power the screen off and on, the backlight comes back on and the screen is at its normal brightness.
2) I lock my AT&T Tilt using the "Device unlocked" area on my home screen, and when I unlock the phone, sometimes it asks for my PIN, and sometimes it just shows the unlock button on the screen. My settings are for a 12 hour timeout.
If anyone can shed any light on possible fixes to these issues, that would be great. Thanks!

I have the same issue after a phone call....
Same issue here too... it doesn't happen when on USB-power... and I don't remember it doing this before the security-Exchange policy was forced onto my phone.

I think this happens coz the phone goes into standby / lock mode during your phone call. Just press the on/off button to turn screen off, and press again to turn on. Now your phone will be responsive again.
Minor bug.
Or you can just scroll the volume wheel to turn it back on.

thanks michi
thanks everyone for your replies. I will try the StayUnlock application.
I still don't understand my second issue though. If the bug is causing this issue, shouldn't it at least be consistent in either requiring me to type in my PIN or just hit the unlock button? I have set my phone to lock after 12 hours, so it should never ask for my PIN, just the unlock button...
I now see that people have been having the first issue since the Cingular 8125 but I have been unable to find any references to my second issue.
ATT Til and Backlight
When making a phone call, once connected, about 12 seconds later the screen goes dark regardless of the setting on the backlight. I am not using a password, and the only way to get back is to use the power button. using the phone button puts the call on hold

ICS Face Unlock Issue

Hi all,
I am using the ICS stock RUU (rooted).
When face unlock is activated, and after push the power button to turn off the screen, the screen is off and immediately automatically turns on.
Screen can be turned off normally when I use other unlock methods (PIN, Pattern) .
Is it only me or any of you also facing the same problem?
Thanks.

ICS 4.0.4 upgrade lock screen issue

i just got my galaxy note's firmware upgrade OTA the other day (from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) but there is one little annoyance as a result - i have a widget bar by widgetsoid that has a lock screen button that, when pressed locks the screen, but since the upgrade when pressed the screen locks for about 1 second then the lock screen appears as if i pressed a button to turn the phone on.
i then installed the app 'turn off the lights' from the google play store which locks the screen when the shortcut is pressed, but the same result.
my question: is there a way to lock the screen with a widget and make the screen lock without coming right back on again?

Try this application from the play store
almost ...
thanks, it had my hopes up for a minute. the same thing happened with the screen off for a second and then lock screen comes on for a second, THEN it goes off for good. i ttried checking the 'Delay device locking' in settings and the screen goes off for about 5 seconds before the lock screen comes on for a second then it goes off for good.
ok, ultimately the screen now locks, which is good, but i really want it to just lock without it flashing back on for a second. any way to be able to do this without pressing the physical button because it always worked with a widget before?
I've got exactly the same problem. Screen comes back on after pressing the lock button on the Widgetsoid widget.
I guesa that's just the usual behaviour under ICS 4.0.4 (at least Samsungs version). I use delayed lock and it's the same. So I think you will have to life with it.

[Q] Black screen after lock

I've had my Nexus One for some time now, and i'm having a problem with it. Whenever i turn it on (sometimes i have to try more than once because it just stays black) it works ok, but when i lock it and try to unlock it (with the power button) the screen stays black. The action buttons at the bottom of the screen turn on but the screen stays black. I have CM 7.2 and i just flashed it and formatted all the partitions i could think of and it's still doing this.
If i call the phone after locking it, it will ring and the trackball flashes but the screen stays black.
Any help?
When the phone is on everything works fine.
P.S. I've searched the forums and found a few threads but none offer a good answer.
EDIT: If i leave it for like an hour or so i can turn the screen back on with the power button, but only once.
i have the same problem, am using the stock rom .. it happens after ending a phone call the screen stays black and i have to restart the device
waiting for solution !!

[Q] Problems with buttons home and back

Hi, i've got a problem with the Home and Back buttons. Sometimes when i double-click the home button becomes locked and i have to lock and turn on the screen for it to work
Is this problem normal? I've got a screensave and i don't know if that can cause it
thanks

Take a look at what you installed prior to issue showing up, if it was the screensaver then remove the screensaver to see if the issue goes away. If it did then it is your cause, if not what else did you do the phone. Don't forget to reboot the phone after each step to clear out any caches or residual programs.
