Screen flickering when i wake up the phone... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, every time i when i press the power nor sleep/wake button the screen is flickering with gray and white lines a half a second before i see the lockscreen. I have just started to notice this lately. i am running everything stock (xwki8-2.3.5) and i have downgraded and upgraded but nothing is working. Is there any fix to this or should i return the phone?
Plzz help me, this is quite annoying for mee!!

Anyone????????????????

Hello????? Anyone???????????

if you are taking about the lines that apears in 0.003 sec when you try to wakeup your phone after it goes sleep , disable all crt annimations or just flash another rom
it is normal in some roms and you cant even notice it apears in only 2 mili seconds or may be micro seconds otherwise here is what you shuold do
if you are in waranty you may replace your phone because i think it will be hardware related , but if you cant , your last hope is to root it and flash custom rom to see if the problem solved
some times problems were though to be hardware problem but rooting and changin the rom solved some issues ,
ex: my phone sound was soooo bad , when i frist bought it , and i thought that my speaker is damaged but after flashing agood rom the problem gone
but it is better to go to samsung center if you can replace it , better to get entire new phone then also root it

Its hardware issue. After a while the screen will go black though you can feel your phone is still working. It may need a main board replacement.

is you screen set ti dither for powersave? just a thought before you chuk you phones.

No...i even flashed the stock firmware.....but no luck...

this is MY OWN video...
thanks for letting me know I'm not alone....
i sent it to the service center... the "smart" man there said it was a software issue, to which i did not agree...
we had a small quarrel then he took it and sad they'll troubleshoot it...
one week later i called they said it was ready
so i went to get it. and surprisingly enough, they HARD BRICKED IT !!!! :cyclops:
HOW IDIOTIC IS THAT ???
the man said they found out it was a touchscreen issue and replaced the touchscreen (which i believe is a total BS because the touchscreen WORKS even though i don't see what i'm doing but the screen accepts my touches as orders)
so he turned the phone ON and the sony ericsson logo came up, dimmed then bright, then it's supposed to dim again, right ???
NO , it stayed bright and phone wouldn't go past this step
he tried several times with no luck, so he had to take it back to try to fix it again but i think they will eventually replace the phone because they don't seem to KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING !!!
sorry to hear this .
I called service and they said they can return old andoid.factory.so it will not be ICS anymore but it will work.
God deal to me
I will let you know results

i went to them to get it after they restored old GB firmware.
the phone would not even start...
i believe they bricked it, because today i called to ask if it was fixed yet, and they said, no, it was sent to their main center in Alexandria.
which sounds like i'm getting a new phone !!

i tried this but it remained...
you either had a different issue or you just have to get your phone HOT enough to make it reappear
going tomorrow to get it from teh service center
i believe it won't be fixed...
just as i thought
they did NOT fix it,
but they REPLACED IT with a new device... i knew because 1st thing i did was check *#06# and found a different Serial Number
they told me they replaced he motherboard
after clarification, they meant they replaced THE WHOLE phone except the battery and bckcover
me too this happend to me too but i figured out i was using a bad mod for my ray and the problem dissapeard
i had no MODS
i had original STOCK GB .42 updated to .62 then to ICS .562 then to ICS .431
Hmm Reflash Firmware>? maybe it could work or try freeing up ram
Very similar to a problem I had: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvTFg2J0L4o
The blackout would happen as well as flickering. Not only that, but a weird clicking noise could be heard near the USB port, and the sound did not work at all. I sent it back and got a new one.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a fix. Flashing a new ROM will not solve the problem. It's a hardware issue. Only way to fix it is to send for repair or replacement. I tried everything when it happened to me and nothing worked.

S 2 is dead! anyone can help?

i am using resurrection remix 3.0.6 with siyah kernal 4.1.5. i believe rr 3.0.6 is still not stable due to sudden lag spike. it happen so suddenly, my screen just freeze. so i make the option to pull out the battery and re-insert the battery to reboot the phone.
then it happen, it doesn't seems to be able to boot up my primary rom which is the RR 3.0.6, i try to boot up secondary rom, which happen to be the same RR 3.0.6, but nothing, the phone auto shut down. i still can go into recovery mode using 3 button combo, then i try to wipe cache, but still the same, not able to boot up RR 3.0.6.
i am very frustrated already, i choose to reinstall the ROM by doing a factory wipe/data wipe, but the data wipe thing just stay there for very long... the worst thing happen. i pull out my battery again. this is when all hell break lose... i can't on my phone, can't do 3 button combo, usb jig no use. simply nothing, like a dead fish.
however, i realise my phone started to heat up around the camera area with the battery in it... that mean a sign of life? anyone face this problem and manage to revive the phone without sending to jtag?...
This is why i am afraid of rooting GS2. GS1 was soo easy...
its not the rooting process that break my phone, its the ROM. rooting doesn't give me trouble, just 2 min using zergrush.
my phone can do nothing but heat up when the battery is put in...
Aha.. zergrush? You suggest me to not flash this rom?
Somebody know how to help this guy?
Answer
Well same kind a thing happen for me little different but yeahhh almost the same. Apparently I burn up my motherboard, that might be the warm up around your camera. Anyway still to early to say something but my suggestion is before you do anything take it to the Samsung customer service, if they can bring your phone alive then you can do it as well, but if they come up with no then you have no choice but to order new motherboard.
Hope it helps..
thanks for your suggestion... sounds like doom day... how much is the motherboard cost?
Well I just received mine today. I find a guy on ebay and you sell your bricked motherboard for 50$ bucks and you can get yours for 130$ bucks.
I install it today and works perfectly fine. But again just check with the Samsung Service then do what you need to do.

I have the same problem guys...
Last night my phone gone dead..
It is still in warranty..
Is there any chance from the service to deny the warranty?
(maybe they can see if it was rooted etc..?)

[Q] Hardbrick?

Hallo brothers and sister,
I own a beautiful white Samsung Galaxy S2 since December 2011.
A couple of months ago I flashed my SGS2 to Jellybean Spain(My phone is XEN, Benelux).
Everything went fine, and I didn't screw up while flashing.
But about 2 hours ago, sh*t went down..
My SGS2 suddenly frooze.
Pressing the home button and even pressing the power button didn't recover my SGS2 from the freeze.
So I decided to pull my battery out.
After about 2 seconds, I placed my battery back, but my SGS2 wouldn't reboot.
It was stuck at 'Samsung i9100'.
So I pulled the battery out for the second time.
But this time it wouldn't reboot at all!
It also won't go to download mode.
I've ordered a JIG, but there is a chance it is hardbricked.
Does somebody had/has the same problem?
And does somebody know if my SGS2 is a hard- or softbrick?
Maybe battery is busted, borrow one from a friend or sonething like that.
Phone don't die just like that.

i bricked mine once pulling the battery when it was turning off...
and it ddint wanted to boot up again, had to flash stock from odin and wipe for ti to work again
Does your phone get warm (the screen mostly at the sensors and the back of your phone) when you have your battery inserted?
Yes, it does.
But after a while it stops getting warm, and it starts again when I connect my charger to my phone.

I can't tell you for sure what the problem is but that sort of happened to my phone too, and it was a hardbrick, my emmc chip got f****d. The warranty covered it up so I got it fixed at the shop. And i called Samsung Support Service and they told me that Samsung phone has 2 years warranty so just go to your shop and they should fix it.

X10 reboots when using apps or playing music

I initially flashed my x10 from 2.1 to 2.3, it worked fine for about 3 months then it kept rebooting when i powered it on, thought it was something with the firmware so i re-flashed it back to 2.1. it is more stable now but when i am using a app/game or play music it freezes up and reboots. i'm using the latest flashtool .9.11 and firmware build- 2.1.A.0435 baseband 2.154
HELP!

i had this issue before & it was caused by a bad battery. it didn't matter which rom i was using. check with a different battery if you have a spare. good luck.

nope my phone isn't rooted, so i don't think its overclocked.
I have the same prob, same firmware you have, bt mine just reboots, even when plugd in, phone was kinda bricked, i managed to flash 2.1 using flashtool, then updated via pcompanion to 3, i still had the reboot/freeze up when i managed to get phone running again on 2.1 global, and i still have it with the upgrade. Is it nt maybe that the batteries cd be faulty? Or they cnt handle the power consumption requests that are required. Cd it be a failing part on the phones mobo? Charge block? Mine resets or freezes whether plugd into power socket, or laptop, mine is chargn though, bt 1 or two of my batrys go frm red to green charge in a few mins switchd on. Which cnt be ryt, so if it cd charge so fast i cn only think it wd lose power just as fast, or freeze or reboot, or there a fault on mobo. What are the hard reset btns?

I know this sounds odd and I thought it was a joke, but baking the main circuit board in the oven for 10min MAY correct system reboots.
Google "XPERIA X10 Oven" and take it from there.
There was/is a thread in X10 Q&A about doing this too.

I cn already feel by the strength of the vibrate if it will boot or nt, its gta be a strong vibrate when powering up, although i still reboot. Bt phone bn getn longer uptime as i gain sum kinda ground i think.

You need to flash a new kernel, Try flashing the stock kernel for your O.S. Alot of issues can rise if the kernel is messed up. Being you havent unlocked your bootloader, Or even upgraded to a kernel that has a CWM or "Recovery" menu its going to be more difficult. But dont get me wrong, unlocking your bootloader isn't fun. But you might have to in order to finally fix your issues so that way you can get into more settings on your phone. Get back to me.
Good place for a new kernel? I have rooted and done my stuff with flashtool... eg unlocked bootloader but to this day I stilk have the restart issue. What shd it be clocked at and how do I find out if its for sa because no matter what sim a sim id never detected... but will scan sa networks and show those available... but I cnt use any of those networks as the ohone dont see a sim. It will ask me on inserting a sim locarion and then it says pkease restart and insert a simcard... what the...? Cd that be the cause if my restarts, I have four batteries. .. although they are old

Hi friends
The incident started in the last day afternon when my phone (GT-S5312) fell down from my desk.It works fine, though at evening it hangs alot and switched off i thought battery gone empty.I realized the problem when it does not boot even after 2 hours of charge After 15 minutes i somehow managed to goto download mode (AT that time i was download stock rom, so i restart it ,without flashing stock rom) .The phones boots well and everything works fine:good: .But the real thing started after 10 minutes ,the screen goes blank suddenly ,and went tried to goto downlaod mode nothing happens it continues vibrates then i removed battery and tried nothing happens :crying:..Please guys help me to get my phone back ..
Current rom :-Cm12
Recovery :-cwn
Looking for a good friend with good mind to help ..
This won't probably help you a lot
I'm not really sure that you can do something about it . Think about it that problem doesn't exist because of your rom or something like that those problems shown up after your phone fell of your desk so probably something broke inside your pone and that's what causes your problems (This is my theory it might not be right).
