Flash stock 2.3.3 ROM, to determine is the problem related with the hardware (battery) or it is unsuccessful ROM settings.
Hey thanks for the quick replies
1) Yeh checked up on ebay theres some battery under $20 CAD
2)I flashed to stock rom / unlock / custom rom
same issue happens before. Today I was on a call and the phone died. Try rebooting the phone and kept on getting red notification light -_- after 2 mins I was back
Guess i'll try the new battery : /

Hello I am new to xDA and I'd like to say I am really impressed. With everything. From roms. Apps.themes.mods ect . Very impressed with gsb it is a incredible rom. My Droid Eris is awesome now although I am experiencing a small issue....when my phone. Is charging and I receive a txt and my led notification. Flashing green to tell me I got a text it will stop charging until I clear notificatin or read txt....how do I fix this?
Hmm, I noticed thw other day that the red 'charging' led stops when a notification (green) comes in. But I assumed that charging continued. Haven't had an opportunity to test it out.
Most of my led notifications are set to white (trackball) but I must have missed one. The Tball led works fine while charging last I checked.

You need to go into settings->CyanogenMod settings->Interface->LED Notifications->Miscellaneous and choose the apps for which you want trackball notifications (by changing the flash color to white).
I'll have to try this. You are 100% sure that charging is stopped when this happens? The battery icon on the status bar stops showing charging? Settings->About phone->Status->Battery status shows "Not charging"?

Ok, I just changed my text messaging notifications to green, sent myself a text while it was charging, and it continued to charge.
Anyway, you can use the instructions in my last post to change all of your apps to white to get trackball flash, if that's what you want.
Hey man ur the best, worked perfectly! Awesome.
Another question....my camera has a crazy delay when I push to take a pic and. Eveñ the slightest movement. Causes a blur...is this fixable? Also my keyboard does a period at random and doès the long press function on its own resulting in characters. Such as some of the ones in this post as u can. Seé
I just noticed the same thing. The Orange LED turns off while charging when I get a text. But it turns back on the instant i press the red power button to wake my phone up to check it. I do not actually need to check the message.
I am sure it remains charging during this, but there is no way to check because it turns back on as soon as I activate the screen.

Yes, when I checked this earlier I had it plugged into a charger that turns off when the Eris stops drawing power (i.e., hits 100% charge). When I received a text and the LED was changed, it continued to charge. That's how I knew it was fine.
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my sgs2 that I'm unable to solve.
The problem is that sometimes, not always, my phone does not enter sleep by itself. Infact it doesn't lock itself either.
Also, again sometimes, if I have a missed call alert or text the display lights up but then stays lit sat at the lock screen.
I've done some testing. I have tried different roms and tried the stock Samsung tom without modifying any settings and the problem remains.
If the phone is in my pocket then it can be a while before I notice. Today this happened for about an hour before I checked my phone. The phone was hot and the battery level had significantly dropped.
I've also noticed that with sound and vibrate switched off, sometimes when receiving a call the phone vibrates for 1/10 of a second. Everytime this has occurred the screen has stayed on after lighting up for the call.
I have wiped the user area on my phone but note this did not delete my music and pictures. Is this correct?
Any ideas? I'm really stumped and it's ruining the phone for me.
Thanks.
To see what apps/processes are causing the device to wakeup from deep sleep download and install Better Battery Stats and see under Partial Wakelocks.

i have a strange problem. i have used all previous versions of dragon jb till 1.8.
In last 3 roms ( dragon. JB 1.6, 1.7& 1.8) whenever i connect the charger red LED light is on showing carging but when i disconnect it the light remains on as red light for long time.
When there is full charging the light turns green during connecting to charger but after disconnecting, it remain on as green light. when i use mobile this LED turns off but afer locking again LED red or green depending upon the charging status agains turns on.
i considered it as hardware problem initially but when i changed rom. (flashed Turkbey rom V7) for testing it, the problem resolved.
now when i remove charger the LED notification light turns off immediately which was not with dragon rom. its strage thing for me. if it would be a hardware problem then after changing the rom , it should persist
Is this a rom problem?
Does anyone else had this problem?
please suggest me a solution if you can
Thanks and regards

why don't you go back to stock Rom and check
My advice is to ask in the thread of the Rom you downloaded. Maybe someone in there can help
Also why not try Light Manager-LED Settings from the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...anager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Hope This Helps

i have asked in the rom thread but no one else has this issue.
the point which i want to ask is that either it is a software problem or hardware problem? most of people say it is hardware problem but then why this is solved while changing rom? if it is a software problem then is there any solution for it or not?

I have two problems in my Samsung Galaxy S3
1- When I open the lock there is a transition of black lines on the screen. The moment I open the lock few black lines appear on the screen for a second. It blinks and then it is back to normal. But when I switch off the power saving mode it doesn't. This problem just starred to appear as there was no such problem before.
2- My battery drains on idle. I charge my phone and within 3 hours it seems to go down to 87 % without any use. The cell standby is what is eating the battery. It takes about 70% of power in cell stand by. I have read on many forums about the it but i don't want to flash my phone to solve that problem.
Please help me to solve my problems.
One backup data and factory reset .
Two check for updates via KIES .
Three Wifi settings turn off always on .
Fails then as you don't want to flash the next step is a service centre .

Are you sure this is not the ripple bug? Is it a dark wallpaper? If so turn off the ripple.

Just about to write a new thread about this problem. I have the exactly same screen problem you are having. I notice the problem since 2nd week I bought the phone. Try factory reset, flash new firmware (from original firmware which I forgot the version > latest stock LH1 > leaked LI8 > LIB), re-flash LI8 once and of course with a full wipe every time I flash. But the same thing happens again. This is so annoying since I found the problem. Try a lot (ripple off, force GPU on, change wallpaper, screen mode, screen tone and everything about screen) still no solution yet.Have to visit Samsung Centre I guess
I think maybe others have this problem too just they didn't notice it. Try turn on power save mode (it doesn't matter you tick the options inside or not, I have try them all), locked or turn off your screen then turn it on. Stare still on the screen to see if you have the black line.

I feel the same that I have to walk in to a samsung service centre. I don't understand how such big phones have these errors and I always have bad luck in terms of mobile phone. I always get a faulty piece or something with some problem or other.
I tried power saving mode and there is no blinking as I have mentioned above but why does it blink on power saving mode ??? My friend too have same phone but he doesn't have an such problem.

Well finally I've found a thread that describes the same bug I'm having.
I confirm this bug. When power saver mode is ON, there's a flickering when you unlock the screen, black lines appear for a second and then disapper, like a screen refresh or something... but this problem is not there when power saver mode is OFF. Weird.. but I just turned it off. Have you guys found another solution?

Turning off the power saving mode is the only solution by now. And I also found the same problem happened when I use camera. It's quite hard to notice because it happens just right after you click the camera icon before the screen changes.

Hi guys
Do you have whatsapp installed?
I had the phone for 5 days now and it ran perfectly for about 3 days.
I used the screen sticker that came with the phone for a while because i didn't have
a screen protector(still not). Then i started installing stuff and whatsapp was installed
then i noticed crappy black horizontal line flicker the screen. Today I had a friend over
and the phone when mad, it booted but then stopped responding, now here's the part where
the black flicker gets fixed. I restored the phone to its default settings and the black was gone
installed whatsapp and droidwall and the flicker came again, it's uninstalled now and the phone
works fine.
Turning off power saving mode didn't work for me, this did
Hi, so sorry for the vague thread title, but really, there's no other way to describe it. So here's what happened.
For the past few weeks (or month), my Xperia Ray has had a problem of switching on after it was put into standby mode, i.e. after i pressed the lock button. The screen would light up, however would remain blank. So all I would get is a bright black screen.
I could have lived with this for a few more months (until Xperia Z gets released in my country D: ) however this problem started getting worse. At first, after pressing the home button, the volume rockers and/or the lock button for about 20 times, the screen would turn on (finally). Despite it giving me that bright black screen, i could still operate the screen. I could still try to unlock it because of the haptic feedback on my lockscreen. I could still change music tracks on my music widget on my lockscreen. In short, the screen worked perfectly, only that it kinda wouldn't show. However, for the past week, the only way to turn it back on would be to do a battery pull and switch on the phone again. And it recently developed a problem of giving me that bright black screen again when I switch it on, causing me to do about 5 battery pulls before being able to actually use my phone again.
I did get fed up with this problem, being a heavy user of my phone. Therefore, today I decided to try to do a factory reset of my phone, intending to wipe the dalvik cache + clear all user data, thinking it might help my bright black screen problem. However, I found that I couldn't boot into recovery because all my phone would do was to give me that bright black screen again! So after many battery pulls, I managed to boot up my phone normally and do a factory reset under the backup & restore tab in settings. Of course, the phone tried to reboot itself, but of course, just gave me the bright black screen.
I kinda gave up at this point, and did many battery pulls and boots, however, all I got was either
1. the terrible bright black screen
or less frequently
2. the free xperia project logo then the terrible bright black screen.
I did get very fed up, so I plugged it into a wall socket to charge it. However, since about an hour or two ago, I realised it may be on bootloop. When I plug it into a wall socket, the free xperia project logo shows up and then an even brighter black screen shows up for about 3-5 minutes, then those two repeat endlessly. The notification light doesn't show that it's charging at all.
Okay here's background info on my phone.
- Is rooted
- Bootloader is unlocked
- CM 9.1 is installed
- Was running GO Launcher (if that helps)
- had a custom boot animation
- I think i deleted an apk for the google start up configuration thing...the one that asks if you have any google accounts you want to connect when you switch on your phone for the first time. I'll search up the correct apk name if you need it.
- Is about a year old (got it last early April)
- is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (in case you didn't notice haha)
- battery level was about 20%+ when I did a factory reset (terrible of me I know)
- I have tried to caliberate the battery a few months ago
That's all the background info I can think you need. Please do let me know if you need any other info. If you need the logcat text of what happens when I hit the lock button at the top of my phone and the phone gives me the bright black screen (the early stages of this problem), let me know and I'll dig it up. I think I've bricked it, but I can't boot it into recovery so I can't do anything. And I did all I could google for the bright black screen problem which I won't tire you by specifying here. Please do help me. It seems as if the worst of evils has befallen my phone. Now I'm stuck here with my phone crazily on bootloop beside me. Please please do help.
Flash stock rom
Just try flashing a stock rom with Flashtool. If the problem persists, then it could be a hardware problem. Flashing a stock ftf takes care of all software issues. Get the stock ics FTF file and place it in firmwares folder of flashtool. Start flashtool and select flash mode. Then choose your ftf and press ok. Then wait until it prompts you to connect your phone. Then, just turn off your phone, while holding the power button down attach the USB cable. The LED notification should turn green and wait until it finishes flashing.
flash extended stock kernel and then the stock ftf firmware file...

Hi, if your phone can still be switched on and hasn't progressed so far in being destroyed, you could try downloading the Disable Auto Brightness app for Xperia phones from the Play Store. I've read somewhere that the screen might not turn on because of the auto brightness. I'm not sure if it actually helps, but perhaps my phone would have died faster without it. I've read of people changing their battery, doing battery calibrations or changing their screen to fix the problem. But before you change the hardware, I suggest that you check the hardware first. If the Disable Auto Brightness doesn't work, do a Nandroid backup and store the backup somewhere safe. Then flash the stock firmware to your phone and try to get it to switch on. Do flash the firmware before your phone runs out of battery because you never know, your phone may decide to refuse to charge your battery anytime. Then try to switch it on. If your phone goes into a bootloop (like mine now) really consider getting a new phone or sending it for repair or try all day to fix it if you use your phone alot. I'm still trying to fix mine.
I flashed the original firmware for my phone, tried to turn it on, was very happy when I saw the original Xperia logo, but then I realised it was on bootloop. When I tried to charge it, it immediately turns on and goes into bootloop again. Logcat doesn't detect my phone, so I can't obtain the logcat of what's happening. I haven't tried to replace the battery of my phone because I couldn't find a supplier. But I'll go on trying to fix my phone until the day that it really breaks down. Good luck with yours and keep us posted.
