[Q] screen is flashing/blinking when its locked - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

its not happening before but now when i locked my phone the screen will power off/turned black then it will turn on(but the screen is still locked) then turn off and turn on again. it keeps on going and it will stop randomly.. perhaps about 3 minutes sometimes 10minutes. im afraid its draining my battery faster. any suggestions?

why?

Do a fullbackup and then try a hardreset(wipe factory reset) o a new rom. If is stil happening maybe its hardware related.

yes it is.. it's called SOD.. search for it and you'll know what's causing it.. but basically you have to find a good combination of build, kernel and of course microSD card.. although on most build that are based on Evo kernel, SOD is almost unheard of.. that's why when you get the SOD, microSD would most likely be the culprit.. also, on some winmo rom, you have to disable the automatically turn off the phone when not in use.. some people here might say it isn't needed, but on my experience, i know that i had to do it on some winmo rom to prevent the SOD..
okay so SOD... after i can find a good combination it shouldnt happen/???
The phones not actually crashed its juatt not the display showing anything for some reason.
I get sod from time to tome but I always get out of it.

na.. i dont play with oc on this phone.. fast enough for me!!
I have the same issue, but for me only happens after I wipe, definitely after a system wipe, maybe after cache wipes as well. The back button won't work once the dial is up, but it seems home will, after a slight delay, then sense finishes loading up.
It's very weird. On Stock w/ Goodies now.

yea i think it happens most after i wipe.. but sometimes even if i just do a normal reboot .. that is odd though.. looks like the same thing happens to u.. thats the only problem i have with my phone it that.. other than that its perfect!! :good:
I literally reflashed a couple hours ago, it happened, and I thought to myself that I have to ask if it happens to anyone else. I always forgot bc its so minor, but still an annoyance.
Then I stumbled on this post, of course after I forgot to look into it again lol

S2 screen goes black but still it gets calls if called from other Cell
Even I have the same issue as My S2 screen goes black but still it gets calls if called from other cell.
Only solution till now is remove battery and put it back and switch on the phone.
Please help ...........
Update your phone to latest stock jelly bean. I have had sod with CM based roms. But it never happened on stock JB

My turn for problems now

So now after having a "perfect phone" i found that my to screen has some lines going down.
All the functions were normal though.
So i took it into my service provider...they said LCD screen failure/issue under warranty 2-3 weeks.
So they transferred all my contacts back to my old Wildfire till the repair comes back.
I just hope they dont upload that 4.1.3 faulty JB as a kind gesture.
But you'll get the ota fix when you check for it, so..... No issues.

When i get the phone back, i hope to be in a position to upload 2.1.5 OTA.. in about 3 weeks or so.
I think they will replace the digitizer touch screen , but i am guessing,
So now i got the phone back, with new LED screen.Everything works again, i am a happy chappy.
Except for one problem.
I cant log in with my phone onto this site....i forgot my password hehe...no really, i am stupid.
I am logged in with the pc now.
So i will keep trying till i get it right.
I am pretty sure you didnt get led display, since there is only lcd version of dx

Same happened to me today morning. The phone turned off while on call. My wifi wasn't working after the restart. Tried clearing cache and dalvik cache with little success. Whenever I tried switching on the wifi, the phone rebooted. Finally had to restore last night's nandroid. Now everything works fine
I'm on myONE-DX
Edit: sorry didn't read it full.
Try with another battery and see if it starts.

I dont have a spare battery, so probably going to the service centre will solve the problem!!
Thx!

Please Help!!!

Hello,
I was using Note 1 i717R on stock Rogers firmware and my phone suddenly turned off...
Now the only thing it can do is keep vibrating like its turning on!!!
But it doesn't show anything at all on the screen, not even the samsung logo!!
I tried going into custom recovery/download mode but NO LUCK!!
The phone just keeps vibrating!! The vibration only stops if we take the battery out!
Any solutions? Or does anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem!!!
PLEASE HELP!!
Any help is appreciated...
Have you tried removing the battery,let it sit for a bit and put it back in. Then try going into recovery mode.

Try think youtube link. It may help you but make sure you pay very close attention to the fact that this method will end up erasing EVERYTHING from your phone so you better back up what you want (or first remove you external SD card etc).

If that side doesn't help, I'm sure a good search for "re-setting Galaxy Note i717" on YouTube or Google should find you something to help you out.

That possibly seems like the issue.... hopefully it is that, Because other than that, I have no idea what could go wrong as it was all of a sudden!
