My Nexus 6 just started acting oddly: it boots fine, the screen behaves, but the moment that I try to swipe away the lock screen, the screen goes completely black. The phone works otherwise.
A cache reset had no effect and although the phone recovered for a day or two, it now appears to be stuck permanently in this mode.
A factory reset didn't improve matters: the phone works, gets to the initial setup screen... then goes dark ~1s later.
It would appear that a biased magnetic lock sensor is at fault for this - I have read multiple cases of this being the issue.
The question is - how do I fix it? Some have said that swiping a magnet on the screen reset / unjammed the mag sensor and the phone was fine, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Sure enough BTW - the phone was used with a magnetic latch cover for several months.
Any ideas?
