Hello everyone,
I have a question, sinds today my phone is doing trange thinks.
If I use the phone, don't matter what app or game sometimes my screen flips. I see very fast black screen and then is the creen back. Also the screen flips very quick from normal to landscape and back. This is not the only problem, also my battery gets hot. If I use apps or games the battery gets very hot, and normal this is not happend. This problems are getting up from to day and normal nothing strange happend.
I have reset my phone and have do a factory reset but this will not help. What can be the problem and is it possible if I flash a ROM that the problems are gone or is there a diffrent sollution of problem.
Thanks allot!!
What ROM are you using? Have you tried to flash a different kernel, like Siyah?
I use LPW ROM and its not the kernel because I use months the chainfire kernel without problems and now there are problems sins yesterday.

Hey,
I'm getting the same problem with the screen quickly going black for 1 second and then back to whatever I was doing. It seems to happen on any application. I also have the issue where the screen will randomly rotate into landscape mode, then go black, and back to portrait. It does this with the phone laying flat on a level table or holding it upright in my hand, regardless of auto-rotate being on or off. It even does it on the home screen but it seems to reload the icons after it goes black, almost like it did a RAM reset or something. The black screen flash and rotate problems seem to be related, as they started happening around the same time, but don't always happen together.
The phone is Galaxy S II LTE from rogers running ICS 4.04, stock everything including touchwhiz. I have done a factory reset using the option on the phone which appeared to fix the problem only to come back after a few hours of re downloading my apps and whatnot. Also calibrated the gyro on a level surface...no fix.

I'm using an HD2 on T-Mobile, still running the stock Windows. (haven't gotten around to slapping android on yet)
A.) ... was at work today, took the phone out of my pocket, and I couldn't get the screen to go on. The hardware buttons on the bottom would go on, and I could feel it vibrating and booting up when I powered it on, but after hard resetting(removing the battery, I mean) the screen still wouldn't go on.
.....so I go home with it powered on still, pull it out of my pocket and BAM! the screen goes on and it looks normal... but....
1.) Now the bottom 5 hardware buttons won't go off when I lock the phone. Sometimes they're dim, sometimes they're bright as if I'm using it. sometimes they flicker on and off.
2.) the screen won't brighten beyond 20%. It adjusts 10-20% fine, but sliding it from 20%-100% does nothing.
3.)In addition, whenever I hook it up to a PC to charge/transfer files, I SOMETIMES get the "This Device would work faster in USB 2.0" message. that I never got before these issues. This is confirmed by slow transfer speeds when this happens(400-600kb/s instead of the normal 3-5mb/s). This leads me to believe it could be something internal in the phone...
Worth taking to T-Mobile? Not sure what they can do for free, I bought it used about a month ago.
I Tried a factory reset recently, didn't do anything to help these problems.
I tried running it on another battery, same issues.
Think putting android on it could help any?
XDA Devs is the best around for this type of thing, so I figure there's someone on here who could give some advice. I love the phone, but these problems are awful! Thanks so much!
try re-flashing the stock ROM first (factory reset might be not enough), then if the symptoms reappear I'd think of warranty repair
My Vibrant is currently running stock KB5.
About every two days or so, I will be using the phone, and the colors on the screen will suddenly wash out, screen goes to max brightness, whatever is on the screen at the time stays up, and there will be two or three horizontal thin lines on the screen. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys all light up. The touchscreen and all buttons, including the power button, become unresponsive. Screen will not timeout. Only way to get out of it is to remove the battery and reinsert. If I am in the middle of a phone call, I am still able to continue speaking on the phone.....but can't hang up, adjust volume, etc.
I haven't tried any other ROMs since KB5 was released, so hard to say if another ROM would solve the issue. Don't flame me for sticking with KB5. I don't need my phone to do a lot....really just use it for calls, music player, Sirius, Google Maps/GPS, light web browsing. I'm not really opposed to running another ROM, I just found it to be a pain in the butt to be constantly switching ROMs as they are updated.
Anyone else experience this problem? Hardware or driver problem? If anyone else did have this problem, did switching to another ROM solve it for you?

No mods whatsoever. Completely stock, not rooted.
My vibrant is in a bit of an issue. The screen is black and not responding but the 4 buttons are lit up.
The phone boots normal with its standard boot animation and load screen but as soon as the phone gets to the actual UI it blacks out and becomes unusable.
I can get into both recovery and download mode, and i have already flashed 2 different ROMS through ODIN in hopes that it would fix the issue, but no dice. one ROM alleviated the issue for about a day then it came back. the other ROM I flashed was no use.
I want to ask what else could i try ... or what could be causing the issue with the phone.
My thoughts is that theres is a I/O issue within the phone that is blacking the screen out when it gets to the GUI, other then that im at a loss for options.
I was having exactly the same issue with my wife's phone. When it booted up it seemed to try to turn on some of the various antennas (3G, Bluetooth), sometimes it ran the media scanning step, and then it black screened and started over. I cleared the internal SD memory and cache from recovery mode and that _seems_ to have fixed things for the moment.

What were you trying to do when the screen went black? load a gb bootloader or anything?
I have gone from my first amoled screen phone a galaxy s2 to s3, I gave my wife the s2 so I can hold the two sides by side and wave the phones side to side while holding my eyes still and I clearly notice the s2 screen drawing a solid light while the s3 looks like the screen is turning on and off at a very high speed, like if your using an old crt with 60hz.
Anyone else noticed this?
I imagine because generally speaking its not noticeable most of the time unless shake your eyes or shake the phone its a battery saving feature.
If power saving mode is active on your S3: turn it off
Custom rom, not using Samsung firmware. I have looked at my work mates s3 and it has this crt like flicker to, he has stock rom... And he won't let me root and custom rom his phone lol.
Chercked my S3 to see if it did this and it doesn't, no flicker at all but I don't have any motion settings turned on apart from rotate and no battery saving modes, maybe one of them is causing it.
As for what you cna do with your eyes, holding them and shaking them, now that's cool.
sorry for the bump...
But Im having this issue too. Its my 2nd s3 (first one had a yellow tint to it and I couldnt ignore it once I saw it) and my screen also flickers just like an old CRT at 60hz. The one with the yellow tint didnt seem to have this problem but I wasnt sure if it was how the screen was supposed to look when fully functional or if my eyes were going (pushing 30 lol).
Ive tried a factory reset. Ive tried checking Force GPU Rendering in 2D option. Ive tried a custom kernel and ROM. Im not sure what else to try!
I have the same issue with my galaxy note 2. But I don't find any solution to solve that yet
I can leave my phone plugged in and charging and quickly check a text message and reply, and my phone will be fine. But if I try to use my phone any more than that, the display gets strange artifacts (it's different every time, ranging from a dark grid overlayed on top of the image to the screen filled with different colors on each pixel) and sometimes the speaker emits a constant loud high pitched noise, even if it's on silent. I noticed one of the times that the sleep button worked, but using the touch screen and the capacitive buttons is impossible and I have to yank out the battery every time it happens. I'm running a recent CM10.1 nightly and default kernel, and I've experienced this problem independent of which nightly or kernel I'm using for the past few weeks (I have had no problems in the recovery menu). It even crashed one time upon boot up when I tried to unlock the phone immediately. Another minor problem is that my home screens got screwed up one of the times it crashed. It seems like a hardware failure to me. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this problem or has any ideas that might help. Thanks.
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. I have not seen anything similar reported on these forums. Is the phone currently stock, or custom firmware? The best test to see if the problem is firmware or hardware related is to flash a fresh stock firmware using Odin3. If the problem goes away, then it is obviously a firmware issue.
If it is a hardware problem, you may have trouble flashing a fresh stock firmware, or may not be able to at all. Or if you are able to flash a new stock firmware, but the problem does not go away, then it is probably hardware.
