I am using the HTC Amaze Energy ICS Rom latest 6/21 update without any modifications to the kernel etc. I love the rom but every now and then, the screen gets black after initiating a call. The only way to fix that is by taking off the battery and replacing it.
I tried looking for a fix around XDA but could not find a fix.
Any recommendations on how to fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Black screen
Try setting the lower cpu freq to 384. I found no frills cpu controller simple and works great.
There are quite a few posts regarding this issue.
Hi,
Sorry to jump aboard your thread with almost the same question.
I been using this rom since almost came out, I went throught all the different updates without any issues I installed the 8/6 version on that same date and not until now I'm experiencing this black screen issue but mine is not after a call, it's everytime the screen goes to sleep then it's a paint to get it awake again I'm starting to hate this phone.
The issue seems to have started after I travelled to a different country and I used a prepaid sim.
Came home and the phone started to act weird I re flashed the rom but since I was restoring data from a recovery (4ext) backup seems to drag whatever errors were there so since I didn't want to lose all my games scores and data I did a backup/restore with Titanium but even though all the other issues are gone the black screen stayed.
The CPU is already set @ 384 so that is not the issue and as I said it happens when the screen goes to sleep (not during calls) either by itself or if I do it myself.
When I press the on button (or the camera one) to wake it up only the four buttons on the bottom light up.
Any help?????
Thanks,

I had the exact problem.
I fixed this by reflashing my rom but there was another way i fixed this as well. A much easier way is just to download the Market App 'Pimp My Rom' . Theres a feature in that app, that fixes this exact problem.
Thanks a lot!
I got it. It looks good (and scary for a noobie)
Is there anything I need to tweak in there or just installing it would take care of it?
Thanks.
Edit: I found "no black screens after a call" under miscellaneous should I tick that one? even though my problem is not specifically after a call?

You have to do something specific inside the app.
I'll give you a step-through-step guide so you can fix this annoying problem!
1. Download the free app!
2. Open the app
3. you'll see tabs, "Main menu, tools, tweaks, Apps & mods, extras, and help center". go to the TWEAKS tab.
4. Then you'll see 7 categories. "Network & internet , multitasking,Dalvik VM, Kernel tweaks, Enable/disable features, Telephony, and Miscellaneous tweaks" SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK ON THE MISCELLANEOUS TWEAKS category
5. Scroll down till you see "No Black-Screen after a call" , then tick the little box to the left of it.
6. Scroll down and click on "Apply Selected Tweaks"
7. It'll ask to reboot, but unfortunately the reboot button the app gives you doesnt reboot the phone, so reboot your phone manually after you did step 6.
8. you're DONE

Have you succeed to resolve your problem. I have something similar on a Stock Rom. I have described my problem in this thread.

It will sound stupid but I have found a simple solution:
I have just wiped the screen in the upper left corner where the proximity sensor is located and it started behaving normally. Though I don't use any protection tape on the screen it seem to have become less sensitive because of mud or sweat.
No I haven't solved it. But mine is not after a call it's when the screen been off for a while.
Yesterday after a total software corruption (it wouldn't even boot) I went to stcok (again) and started from zero. Worked well for few hours and this morning I was back with the spolied brat phone.
So, I'm testing stock RUU for a full day today and see what happens.
Try to catch some log when the phone begins to behave badly.

No idea how to do that.
But I'm very confused...
I read in few ocasions that if your bootloader is unlocked you cannot flash the stock RUU.
In my case is the other way around, actually now I'm running the stock Tmous rom with unlocked hboot, S-OFF and rooted (and so far the phone is working ok) no black screen so far.
What the hell is wrong with it. It has to be something I do when I flash ROM, Kernel or Hboot...
I'll stay like this until tomorrow to see if I do get black screens at any point.

Use aLogcat app from the Play store.
I been doing more tests and yesterday I run it on stock most of the day with no apparent issues, then I restored the NRG rom from a backup and still no issues so I started to think it was something I messed up flashing the JB Hboot,since the restore changed rom and kernel but not the Hboot.
I restored a backup of a bulletproof rom and decided to do another test.
I sat on the phone as to block signal and the issue came back.
Now I'll try the same with NRG, yep it seems like it's when the phone loses signal the screenwon't come back afterwards.
I'll look for that app

Are there any ROMS out there that have working MMS ? I have tried a number of them and no luck. I know these are labors of love but it's such a vital part of the phone itself to be left on the back burner. The only ones it works for me are 2.1 v's 1,2 & 3 every other ROM i tried it's always the same thing, no soft button lights, no trackball lights, no MMS. I've tried every fix offered under the sun & it just doesn't work, OR it might work, 18 hours later.
From what i have read it looks like half the people have no problems & have are in the same boat as me.
any suggestions?
thanks
I use sense-able and have no issues sending or recieving mms msgs
the MMS fix is quite simple. What ROM are you using? I know that in the EE thread there is a link to ivans-apns and instructions on removing your current APNs and installing the APNs from ivans rom.
I have working MMS on every rom I have tried except for one .....
Thanks for the 411 and I must say that name gave me the first laugh for the day "Cornbreadfarts"
Fn Funny dude.
well last night i loaded ZenEXP-Eris_Rev6-fixed_mak, i hadn't seen that one before and it looked very stylish. The overclocking isn't so important but i like the apps2sd. Followed all the instructions including flashing the mms fix also cited in the thread. I should have tried it our right away but i began to get comfy with the rom then when i remembered, bingo, same thing. Attaching even a very small photo gets a generic network error, it'll try 4 times to send it then stop. With other roms, sometimes 18 hours later it'll suddenly go through.
before this I'd tried evil eris, lightning, Dvanilla2fast, vanilladroidv1, fresh 2.1 & aloysius, all with the same result.
every rom has their own little quirks, evileris would seem to stall for a while then suddenly go through all the motions of your frantic thumb presses while u thought there was something wrong. I tried all the solutions offered also with the apn's in the evileris thread but still the same thing
the zenexp seems to restart itself at random times and does not come out of landscape mode after taking a pic. I have to press settings, then back & it resets itself
I like the variety in the various roms and the little extra bells & whistles that the developers add it's just this 1 issue really for me. I don't make a lot of calls and i mostly text back & forth to my daughter in NYC. Recently a loved pet of 13years died but beforehand i couldn't send her any pics of the cat in the days previous.
I guess i'll look for this sense-able and try that. I just don't get it though, we are all using an eris, it should either work or be broken for everyone right ?

ZenEXP-Eris doesn't restart itself at random times out-of-the-box, you must have installed or modified something that's causing that error. My releases go through a somewhat rigorous beta testing before they see the light of day - at least since Rev5 - and we've only seen minor issues upon release of them.
As for the accelerometer (the "not coming out of landscape" issue you refer to), that's a known bug in Rev6 that was found after releasing it. It is fixed in Rev7.
At the begining of my ZenEXP-Eris thread, I state that you should read the entire thread twice before flashing. This is so you know what you're doing, what to expect, how to make things work properly and what bugs are present in the ROM. Obviously you didn't read my entire thread, or you would have found the MMS-Fix, which is located about 6 lines below the ROM download
On a side note, Rev7 includes the MMS Fix built right into the ROM, no need to flash the MMS-Fix through Recovery like you do now for Rev5 and Rev6. You'll be able to enjoy Rev7 (hopefully) tomorrow (if not the next day).

Sorry, I thought I had been clear, I did read the whole thread and did dl & flash the mms fix zip u attached. I'm only reporting on the problems I'm having. This isn't a personal attack on you.
As I said, I understand these are labors of love and I wouldn't report something if it didn't happen. I have had 3 occasions where it restarted itself and all 3 times all I had installed was vignette, meebo, Google translate, shopper & barcode scanner.
Thank you for your reply

I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack, but I'm not sure why you're telling me that?
Anyway, if you installed the MMS fix, you should have working MMS. The MMS fix hasn't failed anyone that I know of and I used it myself on Rev5 and Rev6. Did you boot into the phone and set it up after flashing the ROM, but before install the MMS fix? The file the MMS fix installs gets overwritten during the first boot, which is why you need to reboot before installing it.
I don't use any of the apps you've installed, so I can't attest to their compatibility with ZenEXP-Eris. What I recommend you do is backup your data, go into Recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/ext, then re-install the latest release of Rev6, boot into ZenEXP-Eris and set your phone up, reboot into Recovery and install the MMS fix. Before installing any applications test it all out for a few hours, the proceed to install them one-by-one, leaving an hour or so in between installs until you (possibly) find what is causing the issue.
I'm really sorry to hear this issue persists for you but, as I mentioned earlier, you're the first to report such issues, thus the reason I suspect something else as the culprit
Feel free to PM me for one on one support if you need it.
-mak
edit: Also, regarding your softkey lights, they only turn on in dark areas. Hold your finger over the light sensor to the left of the earpiece speaker to see them light up. In ZenEXP-Eris the jogball LED doesn't function, but I have mapped notifications to the charging/power LED in the upper-right-hand corner of the Eris as an alternative, for now.

Hey,
There are several out there that work. Ivans are typically good to go out of the box and most if not all the Sprint based roms will be good to go by using the apn fix. Its a trial and error thing just find a rom that you like and give the thread a good read.
Most all the posted roms now have an mms "fix" or are good out of the box. I know it gets a bit disheartening flashing, setting up, wiping, flashing etc...lol...but thats the joy of a rooted handset...trial and error till you find a rom and dev you like well enough to stick with.

I actually did exactly what you said. I downloaded all the files first then i formatted the sd card, toggled, loaded the rom & the mms fix, wiped the handset (reset & dalvik), flashed the rom. When it loaded I set up the phone, power cycled & booted to recovery, flashed the mms fix and restarted the phone.
I wanted to make sure that apps2sd was working to i went to the market & installed vignette (excellent photo app) and the usual google made apps like translate, shopper etc
it was after all this I remembered the mms, so i tried it & nada.
I'm about to reformat & wipe now so i'll see what happens
Hi guys, I've got a big Legend related problem.
A while ago, when I used CM7 odd errors have shown up. There were many freezes, the drop down bar began to make silly things (droped down when I put my finger anywhere on the screen, regulary wasn't usable, the upper part of the screen just won't react) and after a few pics in the gallery the zoom function began to go mad (zoom in and out extremly fast w/o me doing anything on the screen).
After I gone back to the regular Android w/ Sense, the errors occured less, but still pretty often.
And now, I can't access any wireless network (I don't only mean wifi, any network, not GPS, not UMTS etc.).
I'm not sure if the reason ist just, that the Legend is broken. After the change from CM to Sense everything began to work better, but now everything is just ****ed up.

What have you tried so far? Do you still have warranty?
If not, try doing a full wipe before installing CM7
Did you do this before installing CM7 for the first time?
Yes I did^^
However, it's getting worse so I'll flash back to an unrooted Rom and send it in.
Ok, have a big problem. The Rom Manager recovery menu just won't boot. I allways end up on a the errorscreen with the red !.
Downgrading won't work either, just getting crwxr-x--- no matter what im doing.
Ok, nevermind, downgrade just worked.

Hello,
I have an interesting question. Normally when you turn off notifications, it stops all notifications, as I like to use handcent and I have a key code that I use to log into my phone.
The pop up still won't go away. Is there any workaround to this?
Have you tried going into the messages settings and unchecking notifications?

I have, and they were still popping up. I was running Suarom, I am actually having major issues now... but I asked this to help others who may have issues. Long story short, the custom firmware worked fine, it won't flash back to stock, and now it won't flash anything.
I am saving that for another thread.
But yes, when I was running Saurom, and turning off notifications did not stop the pop up from coming up.

Odd, I've flashed back and forth between saurom and stock with no problems. You should take that problem over to the sarom qa thread and letting them know. As for the notifications, it may be the sms popup app or another problem created by using a custom firmware. So you should probably include that in the saurom thread, as well. GL getting your stuff straight, bro

Thank you, and honestly it should work like that. Both handcent and the default sms program had all notifications turned off, and it was still happening.
Being its not writing to the nand, I am going to see if AT&T will take it back. If so, then I'll be the happiest person alive for the day. If not, well... I'll most likely send it to a developer who doesn't have one so they can go nuts on it and see if they can fix it, and use it for development.
Ironically, I'm having the opposite problem with the stock ROM. I cannot figure out why my pop ups stopped appearing even though I have notifications enabled. I can't figure out which program I may have inadvertently disabled, as nothing seems to make them happen again.
Ok, so I've been having some super odd problems with my GS3 that I've sort of narrowed down.
When plugging into a PC (to charge or copy files) I'll lose any and all sound, even after a reboot. Usually a power off/on will fix it, or I might have to pull the battery.
Also, sometimes it will start to freeze up. It will be butter smooth for a few seconds, then freeze for 3-5 seconds. Usually recording all of my touches, and then quickly doing them all when it un-freezes. This I usually can NOT get to stop without pulling the battery, and even then it might do it again. Sometimes after I unplug from the PC, and I get a notification for a text, it won't play the sound, and sit there and vibrate continuous for 5-10 seconds. Then the freezing will start.
The freezing comes and goes, but usually gets started shortly after I've been plugged into the PC. I've also seen the MTP app start, and freeze.
It did this stock. Now I've completely wiped and flashed Omega, and a Abyss kernel. Its still doing it. The sound always goes out, but the freezing seems to have subsided a bit. I did wipe my app backups, do new ones, and restore those.
Does this sound like a hardware issue, or software? I can't find ANY apps that are locking up/sucking up CPU time. What app could be causing something like this? Apex? Liteflow? I am having problems with Apex, where a few times a day when going back to the home screen it will stop working, and show a black screen till it loads. Its not the phone itself, notification bar still works and everything else works, but Apex just blacks out until reloading.
I did root when I got the phone, and restored my apps (apps ONLY) from a backup made with my HTC One X. I'm still using those apps/app data.
One more thing, I can safely say I only started having issue after I flashed my first .zip in recovery. It was for the Camera mod, someone had made a flashable .zip file. After I flashed that, the phone went crazy. No sound, locking up, nothing worked, and it took several reboots for it to settle down and start working.
None of this happens when plugging into power only, just a PC.
Ideas?
EDIT:
Ok, I'm pretty certain this problem is started by a notification. It only seems to start happening if I get a notification, and it will do the crazy 10 second vibration, followed by no sound, and freezing.
Also even when its working normally, everytime I get a notification I have odd problems. Maybe a stutter, sometimes the keyboard closes, etc.
Today it started shutting off by itself.
EDIT 2:
I have a new phone on the way from Negri. I'm returning this one to let them deal with the RMA to Samsung.
Try resetting your phone and then try again.
Ok, I've removed Apex for the time being, no different. Also, its doing it now without having plugged it into USB, so thats not it. Doing it right now actually. No sound, and freezing. I noticed it exactly happend while I was in the camera app, and a notification came through.
I don't understand, I wiped when I installed Omega??
EDIT: And just sitting there for awhile, its fine again. Didn't restart it at all, just let it sit for a few minutes.
And now, I'm using the camera again and it happened. Can this have something to do with the camera mod?
I'm going to subscribe to this thread. I'm also experiencing the same problems as you, because of this I'm going to re-flash Stock Firmware and see if the problem persists, because it could be due to a bad flash of the Software.

Yeah your having the EXACT same issue. Mine won't always do the 6 second vibration for a text though. (has done it a few times)
What worries me is that I *have* wiped, and reflashed a ROM. So any software problem should be gone.
I'm going to do a hard reset tonight (wipe everything) and reflash the latest Omega. I'm not going to restore my TB backup either. We'll see what happens.

How do you do a hard reset? I have yet to flash my firmware yet, it still has 17 minutes on the download ticker, so I might do a hard reset and then install the firmware like yourself.
Also, I've noticed that due to this issue, I don't always receive notification sounds when the screen is off. Interestingly mine does not seem to be affected on USB, I've never had a problem with that and have synced with Kies many times. What was your battery level when this problem occurred?

Well today it started happening while using the camera and a notification came through. It hasn't been plugged into USB at all. Its happened at all different battery levels.
I think I'm going to download and flash a stock firmware and try that for awhile. I'll hard reset first.

Here is how to do a hard reset: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706282&highlight=hard+reset

Alright tell me how it goes. Mine has been going on for a few days now, however it only started happening today after the battery got below 50% so I thought maybe it was associated with that.
Thanks for the link!
Ok here is what I did:
Hard reset using the method listed above
Flashed the latest firmware w/Odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
Hard reset again
Enter my Gmail account, *no* apps restored
Lets see what happens. I'm *not* going to do a restore w/Titanium backup until I'm satisfied its fixed. (And then I will probably just unlock/flash recovery, and flash the latest Omega ROM)

I did the exact same process, and I'm not going to be backing up at all! Thought I had broken my phone at first as it wouldn't pick up any reception, turns out the mast down the road had rebooted
Must say, seems snappier already, probably a placebo effect though
Ok, I've used the camera, plugged it into the PC... done some other stuff. I'll use it for awhile tonight and get some notifications and see what happens.
So far so good.

Same here, all seems good
All good for me as well. Trying to do everything with the phone, even posting this on the browser. The stock apps are killing me though...
But very snappy, and no issues.

My phone is definitely much faster, even the home screen isn't drawing my widgets every single time I go to it! My theory is it was just a bad factory flash, the first time I flashed back with Odin my Messages app kept force closing so I glad to re-flash again. I'll keep you posted if problems crop up again.

I'll do the same...
Everything was great, so I decided to root and do a TB restore. Things were still perfectly smooth, then I got a text and had the 6 second vibration, and lost sound. Had to restart. Never froze though.
Awesome.
EDIT:
Ok, after the reboot, the sound worked one time for the unlock screen, then went back out. And the phone froze.

Hmm, I've glad several notifications and haven't put my phone done since the re-flash and I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever. All I can suggest is that possibly the restore that you did has installed the bad files? I did a bit of research and apparently Odin will not wipe old files off your phone that it doesn't need to, but a factory restore will.. guess this fits in with the problem you have had if it was a bad factory flash that was causing this problem in the first place.

My TB restore is not a factory restore, all its doing is restoring apps+data. No system data at all.
The phone right now has no sound, and is pretty much unusable.

My bad, getting Nandroid and TB back ups mixed up! I don't really know what to suggest now, apart from the fact that I would imagine its directly linked to the restore you've done, as it was only after you did this the problems persisted and that back up comes from a system that also had that problem? I fixed the sound by removing my battery, or sometimes it worked by putting it on charge. Either way, maybe its best to just start again for you rather than installing a back up?

Yeah, I already did another hard reset. This time I let Google restore my apps. (right from the market, no data)
So far its ok, but to early to tell...
I apologize in advance if this was addressed before, I couldnt find a thread that answered my issue.
My phone doesn't cannot to data anymore.
I have been flashing different roms pretty frequently, and I am currently on SpeedRom 7.8
For the past month, data hasn't been working on the different roms I have been using. I don't know what is the cause for this issue.
This issue started when i installed SpeedRom 7.5. From there i jumped from one rom to the next, with data not working.
Can you of guys help me with my predicament?
Thank you

Go to Settings - Data Usage and make sure Mobile Data is "On". This gets turned off sometimes when flashing new ROMs or by accident.

I just checked and It's definetely on.
To expand and clarify the issue, when I turn the data on, there is no data icon at the top of the status bar beside the network strength icon.

This happens to me occasionally, and my fix for this is to turn airplane mode on and off. It works for me, but I don't know if it will for you though.
