OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back

weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
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,
I have this problem for couple of months,
My screen sometimes doesn't turn off during a call (A reboot solves this problem, but it keeps happening after a while).
It also affects the auto-rotation (same problem-sometimes it doesn't work but a reboot solves the problem).
I'm currently running task650's AOKP JB ROM. I've tried running a different ROM (SuperNexus) but it didn't solve the problem.
I tried searching the forum but found no solution.
Any help please?
Remember that you have to be ON the cal screen for it to auto turn off. If you hit the home button or leave the call screen it won't work.

I know that.. It happens when i'm in the call screen.
Firstly I wanted to clarify one thing that my phone worked okay after the update. I didn't realise it has updated until after a boot loop.
Just FYI The camera in my phone have been crashing randomly when taking pics and the pics weren't having the full resolution. It was 1280x720. This wasn't an issue for me and I ignored it for like 3-4 months.
So my redmi note 10 have had some random reboot issues lately which i didn't give much attention to. It wasn't frequent just rare random reboots. Few days back I noticed my phone rebooting while in use and it started to loop for a few times and when it loaded into lockscreen right after unlocking, the power button started to press automatically triggering the power option screen and then the emergency calls as well. It stopped after a few taps on the power button.
A day or two later it rebooted once again while the recorder was on and and this time it boot looped a few times and showed the lockscreen and crashed booting back once again. A few tries after that it booted up and I was able to use it for another day.
The very next day, it did the same. Started to boot and loop once again. But this time when the battery is sufficient enough or the phones cool and haven't been used for a while, it boots into lockscreen but freezes and crashes. At one occasion, it stayed just a few more seconds long enough to open the passcode screen but crashes before I could type anything. Then it loops once again and before even reaching the lockscreen, boots back into MI Android Powered screen right after the three dots blinking page. And randomly it boots into lockscreen as well. But once the battery is down or the phone is heated enough, it barely goes into lockscreen.
Booting into safe mode also shows the same. It sometimes boots into lockscreen but doesn't show the 'safe mode' text in the bottom.
Right now when I had kept my phone off for a while it booted into lockscreen twice and the screen dims immediately before freezing and crashing.
The third time it just went back to the MI Android powered logo right after the three dots blinking screen.
Guys please let me know do you think this is a hardware issue or a corrupt software update?
I know software update issue can cause bootloop but does it reach till the lockscreen? My phone consistently gets into the lockscreen when the battery is sufficient or the phones cool enough.
What last update did you perform?

MIUI 14 which i didn't even realise until I checked the settings app one day after a boot issue
What version do you have?
For me see screenshot, works fine!
Backup your data and clean flash with Mi Flash Tool, you can then exclude any software problem
This issue have been resolved.
The issue was the CPU couldn't handle the heat once the device turned on and would reboot right after reaching the lockscreen and loops.
Thank you for all your suggestions, though.

Hey, my mi 10 5g has similar symptoms - random restarts + random switch on power button without pressing it...
all this came after upgrade from miui 13 to 14..I use this phone for 1,5 yr with no problems...
Phone get hotter also...
Is it related to bug?
