Hey guys just been having an issue lately. It seems that my screen starts wigging out, mostly when I wake from sleep. Colors start flashing and random parts of the screen start moving. I noticed it first started happening on jt's AOSP, but its started again on superclean. Could it be the new kernals with Voodoo color, or should I take this back for a replacement?
Replacement... Did you drop it in water?
Its not software related, I've flashed every rom that exists for this phone and never saw this problem.

I was using my Vibrant tonight and for some reason the screen started flickering. Lines also flashed across the screen randomly. Never dropped it, never fell in water or anything.
Ive tried different kernels and its done the same thing. Never overclocked.
Today, its been doing the same thing. I turned off automatic brightness and it seemed to hinder the flickering and lines, but I dont want to risk it.
Sounds to me like the screen is going bad.

call tmobile tell them issue, get a refurb, because this obviously isn't from flashing random kernels and stuff. Odin to stock though, just in case i mean they can still see your screen, odin then call then send back .
In the past couple of weeks I've been getting screen freezes and I'm wondering if anyone else has been having a similar problem and what it might be based on? My screen will lock up completely and will stay on. The haptic buttons will still blink but not actually do anything, and the only thing I can do is a battery pull. This has happened to me on SC 2.9.2 but also happened once or twice on the AOSP Rom that's in the Dev section. Does this sound like my phone is overheating or something like that? Could it be Voodoo, which I've always used? I can't really see what else could be the cause considering it's happening on different roms. Am I the only one experiencing this?
I am having the same exact problem and i have no idea what the culprit could be. I love my phone, but the freezing is starting to get overwhelming
Ok so I'm at week 3 with this thing and yesterday I noticed that my screen had a dead spot on it. What I mean by that is that there was an unresponsive section on the screen. I had experienced this before on my E4G. End result was sprint replaced the phone. By last night the spot responded again but a new location was affected by this problem.
Also the last few days I've had issues with the phone just "running away". I will get backed out of an app automaticlly then multiple selections are made as the phone flies through different screens on its own. While this is happening I do feel a haptic response to this phantom finger making all these selections. When I touch the screen myself there is no response to my touch. Screen shutdown stops the action and allows me to restart the phone after I get the screen back on.
Need to know if anyone else is or has experienced this. I've only got a few days left on my 30 for return without having to pay for another phone.
Also, I have not rooted this device or used any mods.

I haven't had the issue where the phone is whipping through different screens on its own, but I have had a dead spot in one particular area a few times. It doesnt always happen, and I can't really force it to repeat. It is totally random when it happens, but it is that same spit every time it does happen. A factory reset seemed to help, but it still happens once in a while. When it happens, I change to a different screen, then go right.back to the screen with the 'dead spot' and it is no longer dead/unresponsive. Very odd.
I would try a factory reset, then of the problem persists I'd probably take it to Sprint. I have a couple days left and am pondering exchanging mine for a new one as well.

Did you have anything plugged into the headset jack? Only time I've experienced a runaway phone going crazy was when I had mine plugged into an amp via the headphone jack. All sorts of crazy control signals go through there.

No sir, nothin plugged in

my friend had this happen to her evo shift a couple times. It occured after she upgraded to gingerbread. I beleive she hard reset it and it went away
The phone rings, I hear the ringtone and the buttom keys light up bright but the screen does not turn on. I press the power button and the screen does NOT turn on. I miss the phone call.
My phone has been doing this a couple weeks now. First it was on Myn's Warm 2.3, so I switched to Synergy and it's still doing it. Anyone else seen this?
I've been experiencing the same issue. I wonder if my kernel is to blame? I'll try flashing another.
It most definitely is the kernel.
I've got this behavior but quickly resolved it by using the stock kernel.
I've had the same issue. Currently running virus eternity 1.3. Some folks suggested swapping out ziggy'kernel for stock, but I'm lazy. A restart seemed to fix it for me atleast temporarily.

I have an ongoing issue that I'm wondering if it's hardware issue or software. My 3VO will constantly be running smooth as silk one sec and the next it just stops responding to touch. If I lock the screen a second, then unlock, it goes back to normal. Some days are worse than others and depending on the Rom, it may take longer to kick in but it never fails it reverts back to non responding. It's never taken longer than 24, hours before acting up again. Any thoughts or similar experiences with this? I've done search upon search but couldnt find any thing that matched my issues. Thanks for reading.

If after returning your phone back to stock and the issue still continues my guess would be its a hardware issue and not software related..
It's a hardware issue I had on my 3D. Go to Sprint about it.
The screen digitizer is about to die. Take it to sprint or replace digitizer.
