Hello guys,
Im phone has a freezing issue on lockscreen open.
When my phone is sleeping for a while and try to unlock it, it freezes and only a black screen is seen. sometimes notification bar will show up and disappear.
Nothing works only the lock screen seems to work fine but when unlocked only a black screen is seen.
This problem happens with two differents Roms and also tried two different kernel and still have the same issue.
Stock rom seems not to have this issue.
Im so confused now.
You have answered yourself its the roms you use .

I have changed different roms and still an in issue.

Hi Guys,
My XS has been behaving strangely the past couple of weeks and I was wondering whether anyone had an idea as to why it might be.
I'm running STOCK Three UK .75 firmware, no root, no boot unlock.
1. When waking the screen up by pressing the power button I noticed that rather than my standard lock screen, I had the old X10 lock screen load up instead. I probably wouldn't have noticed had the clock not been so different to the Xperia S stock clock... but it shocked me since these were OLD software UI elements that must be on my XS somewhere, and something caused them to render rather than the current UI.
2. When swiping to a different home screen I've noticed the screen black out temporarily before continuing with the animation and loading the next home screen. I'm not a widget intensive user... I've got clock and google search on one screen, "tool" toggles and track ID on another, and accuweather on the third.
3. Facebook images flickering and sometimes staying greyed out. Wifi connection is strong so it's not a connectivity issue... it seems to be a graphical issue, as with the rest of the problems. Facebook news feed sometimes stays completely black, though the UI elements are rendered at the top perfectly.
4. General increased lag across the UI as a whole.
Rebooting hasn't helped... removing a number of apps I thought might be causing issues hasn't helped. Any idea what has happened to my XS all of a sudden?! Seems to me like whatever is rendering graphics is having a problem.
Is it likely to be firmware related or a problem with the graphics chip? Maybe a bad app? The official Three UK ICS is available to me if that might solve the problem?
Cheers.
Try a factory reset before upgrading.

Factory reset hasn't affected the symptoms at all. I'm wondering whether my gpu is struggling? Is there any way to test its performance?
All you can do is flash another firmware or update to ics,if the symptoms still there than you have to send it to service.

I have also encounter the few problem as you have mentioned on .75 (generic uk)
But after upgarding to ics it has completely gone. Try upgrading it to ics, I'm sure that 3 have already rolled out ICS.

The first one is a common problem experienced in GB fw. Sony fixed it when they upgrade the fw to ICS.

maybe try running a benchmark app like antutu benchmark and see how your device compares to other using stock rom etc
Thanks guys.
I ran an Antutu Benchmark check and it came out at the same levels to other stock users so I guess there's nothing majorly wrong.
I'll flash ICS and be done with it I think.
Cheers again.

I Appologize if this has been answered. I am running into a odd problem
Just tried flashing 1.7rc1 on my S3 i9300, Installation went perfect, however upon reboot half way through the boot animation all white turned black, and the phone went very dark. As if it did not have the ability to produce the color white or something along those lines. Even with brightness at max I could barley make anything. out All yellows were replaced with an odd redish color and the only color i could see was blue.
Thankfully I was able to flash back to 1.6.8, which resolved the problem.
Tried re-downloading and reflashing 1.7rc1 with no luck.
Running Omega v28 Rom.
Anyone else experiance a problem like this, and if so find a solution? or am I just lucky!
I honestly have not tried v1.7rc1 but i believe that rc may have a bug, after all.. it's still a release candidate and it is still unstable

given no one else seems to have your issues with both siyah and OmegaI would think it is something you have done. Given they way you dis the devs I have no reason to trust you or anything else you have posted. Clean up your act you aren't being helpful to anyone.

I only have a few days worth of rooting exp and I have flashed Omega v28 and haven't encountered any bugs at all. The one or two issues I had were down to my lack of experience.
If you have had genuine issues you would be best served to raise them with the dev to find solutions to the problem, not slate all their hard work with no substance to what you are saying!

hello! just wondered if one of you lovely people could help? (yes im a noob)
my s2 keeps freezing, has constant drag and is just being a tad bit annoying.
i bought the phone new, i had rooted it and put a custom rom on. the custom rom ran fine for months so i doubt that is was a dodgy rom. then one day i just started getting these problems. so i took off the rooted rom, and when the problem was still there i unrooted (if that is the term) and rebooted to factory settings. i still have the problem though.
I have since rooted the phone again and am running the factory settings.
any help would be highly appreciated!!
It could be a 101 things.
Try rootbox v1.8 / dreamkernel v2.7.
I never have any problems with that.
Have you installed any apps recently? It might be an app..

Are you having the problem of the lock screen/brightness with every rom ?
You can figure by yourself if it's hardware issue , if every rom has same issues it's the phones problem
yes your right it must be the hardware problem then. oh no!! what should i do??
Maybe give GB a quick blast.
If its the same then Id brick it if you still have warranty(as samsung will probably load latest firmware and give you it back with the same problems as before).
ye il get in contact with vodafone tomorow
sorry but what is GB?

You need to wipe before flashing any rom. Also you need to reboot manually after choosing your tweaks, not from the app.

Random reboots? Did the tweaks app mess something up?
I can't think of anything besides removing the battery then powering on.
The other option is to re flash the rom or i hope you have a nandroid.
When you use those tweaks you gotta be careful man it's like running across the street. Don't tweak it so much it might break something in the rom. That's why nandroids are your friend.

Hi again
I m currently using stock but deodexed rom before this i was on stock ruu rom too, but I think problem is still there. I did a battery calibration last night and didnt got any reboot yet, but when i rebooted my phone for doing something it shows grey battery icon. So I was curious to know about that. Anyways thanks for helping me.
Can you tell me how to change battery icon in the status bar. I used romtoolbox for that but its not working till now.

When you flashed any rom, did you fully wipe? Aka format all partitions. This prevents almost all error while flashing.
I'm not sure why you have a grey battery icon.
Do you mean it happens in every rom you use? I think I know what's wrong. You may have a defective battery. You can buy a battery on ebay for cheap.
I'm not sure what's happening here or what you are fully saying but that might be it, a bad battery is causing your problems.

Youll have to flash the rom youre using again or flash a nandroid backup.

Yes In last 10 days I used 4 roms & after ARHD I got this problem . Then I flashed stock ruu and deodexed rom too but still facing the problem.
& about battery ..... I think my battery is ok. Its something else. I used super wipe when I flashed stock rom. So I m looking into it and will reply if something +ve happens.
Thanks.
Does the Grey battery icon have an exclamation point in it? If it does its a problem with the battery. Can u take a screen shot and post it.

Friends I think my phone is ok now. No reboots observed from last 3 days.
Good evening fellow XDA members,
My s4 started flickering it's lower half of its screen when I upgraded to Hyperdrive 10.2. It is only when the screen dims from auto brightness or when I just manually lower it. The dimmer I put my brightness the more flickering it does. How can I fix this?
I'm running Hyperdrive 11 on my S4 non safe strap.
Thank you,
That's weird, I've never seen that before.... I'd recommend reinstalling the rom, and see if that fixes it. Does it do it on the stock rom?

If I re-install the rom, do I have to wipe then re-flash the rom? Or can I just reflash the rom and assume that my apps will still be there?
Your apps will still be there if you dirty flash the rom. Try it and see if it fixes the problem. If not, you might have to do a clean install.

If I dirty flash it, is there a chance that my phone will be loaded twice with some of the same samsung and google apps

I have this exact same problem on my s4 .... been doing it for approx. 3 months now. Sent it back to samsung just before xmas, they returned it saying it wasnt faulty. I still have same problem, like a fool i didn't try it before installing all previous apps. Didn't realise i could reproduce flicker by turning brightness down till reading your post so i intend to factory reset my s4 in next couple of days to check it. This should help clarify if software prob or not. I will update when checked. :good:

So I'm assuming the screen flickering is a hardware issue?
I have just factory reset my s4, removed sim and ext. memory card and i still have the screen flickering so i guess it is a hardware issue. As i said it has already been back to samsung so gonna call them now see what they say.
Ok getting returned to samsung again.

Thought I'd bump this thread since I've got this same problem. I think it's just coincidental that it happened a little after the KitKat update (I'm stock). It seems like a hardware issue. It only flickers at the dimmest setting, which is odd, and only the bottom half.
Did Samsung ever help you out with this?
Same problem here guys. I've read all your posts and would like to add that the screen is flickering the most when the battery is extremly low. A tech said that it might be the battery or it might be a faulty screen electronics.
Any luck with roms or any solutions?
