Blank screen after entering PIN - Manjaro and PMOS
#6
I got this response to the same question on Reddit and will likely try this out later. I actually ended up getting a really nice setup with PostmarketOS with Sxmo (using pmbootstrap to build it) and not having any issues there at all. 

Quote:Ok, I figured out the issue and solved it on my phone at least. The issue isn't with phosh, it is the proximity sensor. It is the sensor that turns the phone screen blank when you are talking on the phone so your face doesn't hit every button on the screen while you talk. The sensor is located just to the right of the red/green light in the upper left corner. In my case, when I swapped out my old 2gb board for the new 3 gb board I didn't put in a small rubber piece that fits around the sensor (it had fallen off and was in the packaging). Once I reinstalled that small rubber piece, I no longer have the issue with the screen going blank. Everything is working fine.


So could be this issue with the proximity sensor which makes a lot of sense. Something that may not be used the same way by Plasma or Sxmo as it is with Phosh? Phosh is the only DE I have any issues with at this point, so it's kind of strange in that sense.
