Hello everybody I have my phone for almost 5 months now and so far I only encountered minor problems. However, lately it does not allways react when I press the power button to turn on the screen. The phne is switched on, but the screen just remains black. Only after one minute or two the screen b…

[image] Johannes: just wondering whether this more recent post is describing the same issue I rather believe it’s the same issue described here, so I moved the posts into this thread. Unfortunately there is no solution yet…

My phone has started working perfectly normally again - and I have no idea why. The only thing I’ve done since the problem arose is taken a backup using the built-in recovery mode, didn’t clear the cache or anything like that.

And now it’s doing it again. It started when I turned my screen brightness to minimum - the screen went black as if I’d locked it the moment I dragged the slider to the far left.

Sounds like some of the reports in the bugtopic below. Which software version (i.e. 16.xx) are you using? https://forum.fairphone.com/t/black-screen-after-reboot-if-brightness-is-set-to-zero-or-adaptive-fixed-with-1-4-2-16-06/18752?u=johannes&source_topic_id=19478

I’m using 16.06 - it seems to be working normally now, after two reboots.

My FP2 freezes during black screen. It won’t come out of Black Screen anymore, unless I restart using the start button. It happens both during charging and without charging, but never when the screen is activated. It’s like a sleep mode that doesn’t reactivate. Anyone experiences this and found a c…

I moved your post here in accordance with the #blackscreenguide . PS: It could be a connection problem, so try taking off the screen and carefully cleaning the contacts.

I have thought about that too, but that didn’t help. Interestingly, I have my FP2 since last year April and this issue has only come up since the update before the last. Currently I run Fairphone OS 1.10.1. It happens seemingly randomly, sometimes when the phone is lying on my desk.

I’m also getting regular blackscreens as described in this thread. It used to happen only once every 2-3 weeks, but lately it’s happened multiple times per week. This is the last exception trace I found in the logcat: 01-12 10:21:07.839 891-1569/? I/Watchdog_N: dumpKernelStacks 01-12 10:21:07.993 …

Over last few days I have been experiencing issue, where my phone won’t wake up from sleep (no response on the display) and has to be forced to reset by holding the sleep/power button for 10 seconds. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions? Thanks
