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 !!

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
I hope this is the right section for troubleshooting...
But right now I have Cyanogen's 4.1.9999 coming from 4.1.9.2 with a flash. And when I had 4.1.9.2 for some reason when i clicked the menu button my screen wouldn't turn on. The buttons would light up but the screen would not turn on. So I'd have to slide it up and press menu and then itd sometimes work. So When i slid it up i always pressed a letter and the screen would turn off. Then i started to notice that even THAT started not to work. And for some reason it's still stuck on 4.1.9999 with a flash. So now my screen only turns on when it wants too...
Can someone please help me? Thanks
And also when I restart my phone, the "T-mobile G1" black screen doesn't come anymore...
The problem appeared all of the sudden, here it goes:
I've received a call, screen did not light on, i could answer, and i can answer with the screen turned off.
I pulled the battery, turned it on, seemed fine, locked the screen and now on unlock, it unlocks, buttons light up, it seems to be working, but screen wont turn back on.
Tried the call+menu+end button, turned on, could play, it seems to frame a bit, but i dont know what happens, the screen wont turn on on unlocking!
removed the sd card and it worked! ffs i couldnt transfer a song and later the black screen happened. didnt know it could relate. this is so strange! i gotta get a new sd card.
Hi, I received an unlock code and I followed the directions.
I put in my T-Mobile sim card and started my Atrix HD. When it finished loading, it went to this grey background screen that asked for the unlock code with either option of "Enter"ing or "Dismiss"ing. I inputted my code, and pressed Enter to unlock it. After that, the two options disappeared as well as the bar for entering the code, but stayed on that same grey background screen with nothing but that and the time, signal strength, battery life, etc. on the top of every android. About 5 seconds later, my phone picked up T-mobile and was finally unlocked (I was getting texts, etc), but it was still on the grey background screen. I've been waiting for over 2 hours now, and it is still stuck on the grey screen. I have tried pressing the home button, the back button, and the tabs button, but none of them does anything and stays on the grey screen. I am able to turn the screen off and on and adjust the sound with the physical buttons, and everything works at the locked screen. When I try unlocking the screen, opening the camera, opening the phone or text, it all goes back to the grey screen. Also when I try turning off the phone with the physical button, no option of powering off appears on screen, it just stays on the grey screen.
Help! How do I get rid of this grey screen. I have not tried restarting because I do not know how to restart the phone without being given the option by pressing the power button. I've held the power button, but that did nothing.

Nevermind! I found the answer to own question. Since the lock screen still works, I just went to the lock screen and without unlocking the screen, I pressed the power button and the power off options appeared on the lock screen. So I was able to restart my phone that way. The grey screen is gone after I restarted. Hope this helps.

Just press the power button once (without holding it) like you're locking the phone. The screen will turn black, now press it again, you'll see the lockscreen now press and hold the power button till you see the power off option coming up.

I have a stock XP, after restarting yesterday, the screen turned off after 2 seconds in the home screen.
The LED flashes, get text alerts and calls. Can not answer them though. When I restart again the screen comes back on,
I can put the password to confirm a restart and then the screen goes black after it shows the home screen.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thank you
