Screen gets black when engaged in a call
I am having the same problem with blank screen when using the phone. Hasn't always done this, about one week. Would appreciate suggestions.
Moderator's note: The subject was edited as the post was moved to the most appropriate board.
Obviously the screen will go blank when you are on a call but generally its off when there is something at a distance of 1 cm and turns on again if not.
So if your screen gets switched off and you want to turn it on , check by clicking on the "power" button it should turn on.
Corrective measures:
1. Proximity sensor is not covered.
2. Check without any screen protector.

Screen GETS BLACK WHEN LED APPEARS to BE BLOCKED
thid has been happening since the latest OS update
It should since when you put it to your ear it is supposed to go black so that you don't inadvertently press buttons (mute, end call, etc.)
What 3rd party applications do you have installed?

Screen stays on when making a phone call
I am wondering if there is a setting for making the screen go black when making a phone call. I have done some research and it seems there should be a proximity sensor that makes the screen turn off when the sensor is activated. If there is no setting for this sensor then I have to believe that the phone is defective and must be returned - I just wanted to be sure that a setting doesn't exist to correct the problem before doing that. It is a Droid X2. Thank you in advance for any help provided!
Yes, there is a small "proximity sensor" in the upper left corner next to the ear piece. When you "cover" it after making a call, the screen should go blank. If it is staying on when you cover that (with your face/ear or even your hand) if sounds like it is defective. There are no Settings that I am aware of that makes the screen stay "always on". At least on my Droid X.
Have you tried running in SAFE MODE just to make sure it's not some 3rd party app causing the problem?
- Power Off
- Press & hold the MENU button (far left button)
- Power up phone, but continue to HOLD the MENU button for like 1-2 mins.
Phone should come up saying "SAFE MODE" in lower left side.
Test you issue.
To get out of SAFE MODE, just power off & on as usual. -
Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?
Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
JanThat was easy. Thanks. Jan

N95 screen goes black when in between open and clo...
Just noticed today that the screen goes black when sliding open or closed. Screen comes back on when slider reaches open or closed. Is this like the blank screen fault that affected so many N80s ? I'm very disgusted that I have to pay to fix my 16month old (expensive) N95 for an ongoing issue with Nokia sliders that they HAVE NOT fixed in their design. Very poor support Nokia.

Nokia CK-200Scott your grieviences are justified... but there is always a solution to a problem...even if this is a strange problem to be handled in an off the routine way, be it so... once again best of luck! not blame nokia for anything...nokia rules as always and nokia's productions have become very slow now :-( i wish they could make trendy phones like sony, sleek and stylish with new features.in some ways, nokia gets a little boring with no new features.. i dont feel any differnce between the nokia n95 8gb, n96 and n85(which i currently own)!
Scott lets hope for the best :-)

IPhone 5 screen is black, when I connect to ITunes it says "to allow access please respond to your Iphone". Impossible with a black screen, does anyone know what the prompt is?
Hey 11doski,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display has a dark screen. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?
I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

From time to time screen flashes black when scrolling
Hi all!
My system: Fennec 32.0, Teclast x98 3g, Intel z3735D, Android 4.2.2
From time to time I observe screen flashing black when scrolling any page. I could not find consistent pattern, but maybe it happens when I have 3 or more opened tabs.
Could you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.Hi IGOR,
There are alot of default features for scrolling in Firefox for android, but they are under the hood of the application in the about:config page.
Does this happen on pages with Flash player embedded in them?
The more current reasons why Flash may not work is if the phone/tablet has a Intel cpu and not a ARMv7 or v6 type of cpu that old Flash 11.1 for Android supports.. And if you have Android 4.1 or newer you need Firefox 27.0 and newer.
However if it is not, please open a bug with the device model and about:buildconfig page information as well as an example website where this happens all the time. Further investigation can be done with that information. :-)

I am having a problem with getting notified when I receive a call or a text.
Hi BigBroMAC,
The first thing I would check is Do Not Disturb mode, as this will cause that behavior:
iOS 6: Using Do Not Disturb
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
If that isn't the issue, this article has slightly different symptoms but the troubleshooting would be the same:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Before you do step 10, however, I recommend resetting all settings to see if that helps. To do that, choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
I hope this helps!

will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light, will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light?
Not unless you've got accidental damage cover on it with Apple and I don't think that's even covered with Applecare - if you have that then check with them directly.
Otherwise you may need to see if you can claim for it under your house contents insurance.
