Help Ascend lighting up for no reason..

[one80bysummer1]

I have the Ascend with Icarus 1.1 that runs like a dream 95 percent of the time. This isn't a "problem", just more of an observation in light of the update rumors..

For whatever reason while its just sitting in standby mode the screen lights up for about 2 seconds, then goes black. I'm not worried about it, just curious. The only variable is Handcent which I installed this morning (love it btw), and I dont think that would cause it?? Interesting i guess haha..

never heard of this. i use handcent but i don't look at my phone when the screen is off.

I've had Icarus 1.1 for a while now and at first it never did this but I've noticed that lately it has been doing it. I wish I can remember when it started but I don't other than to say it has been at least a few days if not a week now.

The screen will come on, not full brightness, but like a partial "dim" bright and then turn off. It does this randomly for no reason.

Ah so I'm not alone. Kinda weird yeah??

Is it only when you're plugged into a pc?? If mines not plugged in its out of my line of sight, so I have no idea if it's doing it or not. But I know when its plugged in its every 45 seconds or so.

Wishful thinking and ignorance made a part of me hope it was metro doing some behind the scenes update crap haha..not the case.

It does it when it is NOT plugged into anything. I keep it by the computer and sometimes I do plug it in but I have that option checkmarked that keeps the screen ON when the USB is plugged in (and it's on). So obviously it can't do it then.

But sometimes I have it on but not plugged in and right next to me while I'm at the computer. So even though the phone is on the screen is off. Except I notice it doing this "thing" like you described. Where the screen will light up every now and again even though I'm not touching it and I'm not getting a phone call or e-mail or text etc.

It never did it before Icarus 1.1 and I'm pretty sure it didn't do it when I first started using Icarus 1.1 but rather it seems to be something that has just developed recently.

The phone has passed through the seven gates! The world is doomed! Doomed! Watch out for the man reading tarantulas! Lol
