Just picked up a new tab 10.1.
Flashed a few roms trying to find a favorite.
But... no honeycomb roms work for me.
I can flash the roms fine, they boot up and I can do everything. BUT as soon as I lock the screen and unlock it i cannot see anything, the screen just turns to lines and flickers.
I found one person with the problem but no answer.

ok, i have no ideea whats wrong
i have this problem with the screen getting garbled, very thin lines rolling (not the large rolling lines due to the cwm, ive had that too, but sorted that) when th p7500 enters sleep or if i push the sleep button.
ive tried everything i could think of. 2 versions of the last cwm. flashed stock(also the one with UE), then again the rom. flashed pershoot's kernel. nothing
ive even tried another custom rom, the same problem. the only ones that dont give me this problem are the cyan 9 ics custom builds (but they are too glitchy for my taste) ant the stock ones. any ideeas? i really like this rom, its smooth, id like to be able to use it
thanks

Only able to use AOKP or CM9.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The response on the touch screen for my atrix is all screwed up, I was wondering if anyone else had these issues.
I first got the phone in april and it worked flawlessly, for the last week the touch screen response has been really weird. sometimes it doesn't recognize input at all, other times it thinks i'm touching somewhere else, it often randomly selects a point on the screen completely on its own.
i'm unlocked, have a custom recovery. i started getting the issues on alien3, i flashed a new custom recovery and alien4 and i still have the problems.
i'm worried its hardware at this point, and i don't know what options i have for warranty since i got it on ebay. am i screwed?
First try again flashing everything from the start.
1. Flash the newest recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
2. Flash this radio for GingerBread ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
3. FULL WIPE - Dalvik, Cache and data. (Also internal&external SD if you want to)
4. Flash any FULL WIPE ROM you want, like Alien #4.
5. If still didn't resolve the problem and you want to try more stuff, try flashing other kernel ?
Like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156040
You can try also flashing full SBF, read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Try Touchscreen Booster from the Market.
Went through the same pain and read everything on XDA until I found a thread about the app.
Was driving me nuts but have had a stable screen for 3 weeks now.
I am using Super Optimized setting.

If you problem doesn't get solved by clean flashing a new ROM, then it's a hardware issues -> as in "you need to replace digitizer".

Im having the same issues and went about flashing the whole phone to no avail. I will for sure try touchscreen booster and post my results. If that doesnt help, is it the digitizer that needs replacing or the lcd? Digitizers are a lot cheaper on eBay lol
The only app I found says its for the galaxy. Installed it anyways, selected "super optimized settings" and so far so good. Thanks so much Andy_Thatcher!!

this actually seems to be helping a lot. thank you. i will try a new kernel in the future but this is working great right now.
Apologies, did mean the Galaxy app.

I have these issues to. They appeared randomly and there are random periods where it goes away, then comes back, sometimes worse than others. The SGS Touchscreen Booster app definitely helps, but it doesn't make it go away for me.
The only thing I haven't tried listed in this thread yet is flashing a new Kernel.
I've considered buying a new digitizer and replacing it myself, but the fact that the occurs so randomly and can even sometimes stop after rotating the screen, I'm very hesitant to do so.
i have tried this, but the problem still persist. I tried Optimized & Super Optimized settings, but its still the same
Even though the affects sound the same the cause maybe different. I know that sounds unlikely but I know that the Screen Booster worked for me.
There are a couple of other paths you may want to look at.
I was always convinced that the issue was not hardware based otherwise no matter what I did to the software it wouldn't have changed the fault but software changes did.
In my case before I implemented the app I would get a few hours respite by installing another base.
I have never used AT&T's OTA for Gingerbread so have been able to to SBF to what ever build I liked. For a while going to the initial Froyo build worked but as said only for a day at most. I had reached the point where I didn't care if it was Froyo or Gingerbread I just wanted a working phone.
No doubt I will get some flack for that comment however my phone has never hard bricked and I have been up and down the builds like a man possessed.
This is where I put the statutory do this at your own risk. It worked for me but I do not know the history of your device.
Then I came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649 thread.
It worked ! Well for a couple of days.
At that point I started get get some respite to SBF'ing to Pudding 2.3.4 Pre-Root.
My trouble with all of this is that I do not understand the issue. I suspect it was a software glitch I created due to messing with builds. Screen Booster worked for me and if I were you I would spend a little more time before going down the other paths.
Again how I got it to work was as follows.
Install.
Set to Super Optimized, initially there was little change in the behaviour of the phone and I thought it was a bust.
Rebooted
Set to Super Optimized again and it started working.
If anyone should know why this screen behaviour happens please let me know. I am close to getting another Atrix so I can take Screen Booster off this one to try and figure it out.
Over the last 24 hours i've noticed my mini pro doing something wierd.
The home button seems to not work/phone not responding to it. but also the lockscreen no longer pops up when i turn the screen on. I've looked in both the settings and cyanogen mod setttings.
I know i could probably fix it with a factory reset but i really don't want to have to do that. because i have apps/setup exactly how i like it.
Has anyone else experienced this and know of an easy fix?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
y'know what. I'm just gonna factory reset and set everything back up. driving me a bit nuts not being able to use the home key...
Your patience busted out in 6 hours. im sorry for what you experienced....
mine also has some glitches and it rarely happens. i wonder if it is the CM7 rom you are using. you can confirm if it is ok with the stock rom.
OR
you can flash your kernel to a custom kernel and use and see. screen touch was waaaaaaay much better on custom kernel. i loved it. see if that works....
OR
try another rom for a change and see if it is rom problem......
Good luck!

I think the rom was fine. I don't know what caused it, but it's fine now.
I reflashed the Cyanocream Sandwich rom following the intructions on the dev page. And everything is working again.
Thanks anyway
But the camera is still seen to be working. When I press the 'Back' button I can see what my camera sees, on my screen for a split second before the app is closed. Doesn't matter what Camera app I use. CameraZoomFX, HDR Camera+ and Pano etc. or just the regular Camera app or whatever. They've all got a black screen now. Taking a picture results in a proper picture being taken, but the 'view finder' is basically ruined. That is, I can't see anything out of the camera before I take the picture..
Coupled with the fact that I have the same problem as this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y25_jYYCnA
(and by the looks of it, many others) the 'Black spot' I think I am going to take it back and get it fixed.. Does anyone know if they just fix the phone, or if they replace it for a new one?
The version I updated my Galaxy S 2, to was XXLQ6 Build XWLPT ICS 4.0.4. via USB Kies.
Has anyone else had this happen before?
Thanks a ton...
Hi I had the exact same problem but it happened to me when I installed a custom 4.0.4 ROM with a custom 4.0.3. Kernel. Exactly the same symptoms, it was solved by using a bug fix for the siyah kernel. But now there are many custom kernel's designed for 4.0.4. so its no longer an issue. If it was me I would ditch Kies and update myself using samfirmware. Its easy loads of guidance on here about it and try some different 4.0.4 specific kernels. All the best.

Can't believe it mate but you were totally right. It was just a Kernal error. Flashed Siyah's kernel and didn't expect it to work at all but 'BAM!' rebooted the phone and everything works totally fine. I hope this thread helps anyone else in the future who gets the same problem.
You're a damn life saver mate. I was having tons of issues with this darn thing. Now my wife can finally use her phone properly again !!
Added thanks.
No problem, happy to have helped.

I just installed the official 4.0.4 rom and I also had problems with the camera on the stock kernel. While I wasn't planning to flash a custom kernel yet, I decided to go ahead. I flash Siyah 4.1.5 and lo and behold! It was fixed. Plus all the extras of Siyah.
Thanks!
As a 61 year old NOOB happily playing with myS2 GT i1900 I had this same camera problem after using the official Samsung ICS upgrade. I have spent a very frustrating 3 weeks trying to solve this until I finally found your page. I still don't really understand what a kernel is but my camera works! Thank you so much-you've made an old man very happy.
Well, I've had my vibrant and my gs2 for a long time and have always flashed all kinds of roms on both. I'm no pro but I try to learn from the people here. But lately I can't figure out what's wrong with my vibrant. I tried resetting it with odin and flashing different, stable, well known roms on it but it still acts funny. It will work for a bit then start shutting off, not letting me turn it on and just shows the spinning star circle for a little bit. I have to plug it in and mess with it a little to get it to turn on or go in download mode. I've searched a lot, tried to find a solution but nothing so this is my last resort. I'd like to hear form people who had the same problem and what did you do please
I just managed to get it to turn on again but I don't know what to do before it goes off again. It is on ics passion v13.1. It's also unlocked. If this is some stupidly simple problem I'm sorry but I am seriously getting annoyed with the phone. Thanks for any help.
Well Passion is definitely dated, and not in a good way. If ICS is your choice flavor, by all means don't let me talk you out of it.....
However. I personally suggest you Odin back to stock, with repartition checked and flash up to Helly Bean. I haven't used CM10 yet (official build) so I can't comment personally on it, but you could try that. At least they are new and still very much supported.
GPS is broken, and 911 may not work, but those issues aside I've heard nothing but good things about them. I've been on Helly Bean since 8/12 and it's quite smooth.
Your issue might be kernel related. Keep us posted on what route you take, maybe we'll learn more about your problem and discover a solution.

Your battery could possibly be going bad. If it still acts funny on stock JFD then its probably your battery. I would flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin and see if the problem goes away, then flash back to ics if that's what you want. You could maybe try calibrating your battery too, not likely to be the problem but worth a shot.

well I tried just having the phone back to stock with odin and just rooted and unlocked. I also tried other roms that are not ics and things that people suggested. still, the problem is the same. it's so weird. I tried a new battery too. now i have to get a new phone pretty much. it's just a shame since there isn't a scratch on my vibrant.

Im no pro or even a novice at this, but to me it sounds like a pending hardware failure. This sounds alot like what happened to my Toshiba laptop.
Try installing a good kernal, try subzero first.
I think I'll try that before I give up. I'll let you know what happens. Thank you for the suggestions
Ive searched and searched for the answer all over this forum but apparently I cant find it. I rooted my phone and installed the Paranoid Jellybean ROM on my SGH-i717 and it works great however it will randomly reboot itself. Anyone have any thoughts or Ideas? Or if there is already a post lead me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Many JB roms, to certain extent, have this issue.
Go try a ICS ROM.

I have to agree with this
But its not necessarily the rom, or user error,I just don't believe all notes are made 100% the same
You don't hear about random reboots on ICS much at all though...
I feel you.
OMG the reboots and shuts downs are starting to be annoying. :crying:
Mine seem to come in spurts. The other day it happened 5 tikes within 3 hours. Every reboot happens while I was on the phone so I had to reflash to hey audio back. Before that it had been forever since a reboot

ive tried a few JellyBean roms and i always have that issue. the roms are great but that is an annoyance. i switched to Padawan Rom and never had a reboot. Just seems there isnt a truly stable JellyBean rom for our notes just yet....
Its due to unstable kernels. The kernels are just modified ICS kernel so u will have issues until or if job becomes official for us

Same here, i tried all (well at least the ones posted on XDA) roms and all of them gave me a random reboot at one point. I dont have this problem on ICS roms though.
However i just tried gubment cheeze 2 days ago, GREAT rom so far, not 1 reboot(i couldnt make it one day without a reboot on other roms)
its still early so i'll report back in a few days about reboots
but of course not all roms will work the same with your phone, u have to install and find out by trial and error. but other than this new rom im trying, i say all of the JB ones with give you a reboot of some sort
Been on padawn ics for weeks,not ONE random reboot
Anybody been trying jb roms again?have they figured out how to stop the rebooting?
I'm on CM right now ...
Latest build ....and no problems to speak of here...
They continue to do a great job.
I don't use any other JB builds beyond a quick look, so I can't speak for those ....g
