First of all, it's not a backlighting issue as it blacks out while I'm texting people and it will sometimes randomly start lighting up again.
The major issue was when I was on the bus trying to call home for a ride and my screen was black. I tried unlocking my phone, pressing buttons to wake up my phone, etc. Nothing made the screen work. Although when I dialed the phone number in - i couldn't see the number, it made a phone call.
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction it would help. I also got my phone less than a week ago!
