I have been having an issue with my device recently. I am not sure if it is ROM related or a defective device, but it only seems to happen when auto rotation is enabled. I first noticed the issue last week when I flashed Beans 16 then 17. When the screen would auto rotate, the device would sometimes lock up and I would need to do a battery pull to restart the phone. This was happening over 5 times per day.
The strange part is, I never had this issue before when I was on Beans 14, or its just possible I didn't have auto rotate on, not sure.
I have tried everything - loaded stock firmware back and ran casual again, flashed Beans 14 and set my entire device back from a fresh install.
Again, tonight, screen froze twice and I had to to a battery pull
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I never has this issue before and it's driving me nuts - having flashbacks of blackberry battery pulls
Clean or dirty flash? This happened to me the other day, froze out of nowhere for no reason

Do you have ripple effect, ink color or any of the TW features enabled while using AOSP Lockscreen?
Because if you do, and your phone times out, your phone will freeze and you will need to do a battery pull.
If you use AOSP lockscreen, you have to disable any of the TW lockscreen features.

Wow, I didnt know the AOSP lockscreen would casue those issues....so turned it all off, and so far so good!! Guess I never had those options selected before.
I have not had a single lockup/freeze yet. I wonder why Beans does not gray those options out when the AOSP lockscreen is selected.

I'm not sure if this is an ADW launcher thing or something with the rom, but I just did a full wipe on Sunday because of a reboot issue when using the gps on GSB 3.5 and I decided to install Condemned V10 Stripped and give it a shot.
So far so good, I'm really liking the rom, but my phone doesn't go to sleep unless I hit the End button and cut off the tv screen. Is that the expected behavior with ADW (or this rom), or a glitch? Has anyone else experienced this? Under the Settings menu, it is set to sleep after 1 minute, but the screen just dims some, doesn't go totally dark.
Thanks.
Nope - I'm not experiencing it at all and I've been on this ROM for a week now, after switching from the odexed GSB V3.5. Mine is timing out & going to the blank screen after a minute - don't see ADW being a problem either as I've used it with other Eris ROM.
You did do a full SD card reformat, delete the android folder with USB enabled in recovery mode, and did cache/dalvik wipe, etc. flashing this ROM & also reflashed Gapps (I used the March 2011 GB version.)
Have you look at your CM settings? Auto Brightest On or Off?
Perhaps you want to reflash CM Rom again (just do a cache/dalvik wipe only) to see if it will help.
Auto Brightness is set to On. I didn't do a full wipe of the SD card, just the phone. I can try a dalvik wipe/reflash tonight to see if that helps before wiping the sd card and the android folder.
Thanks.

Try checking in Settings>CM Settings>Lockscreen>Timeout and delay and make sure they aren't set to a long period of time. Maybe also try out of curiosity if that doesn't help... Turn off the screen of animation in CM Settings as well. Maybe that's causing a hiccup or something. I've never had a problem with the phone not going to sleep.
Thanks for the tips, guys. I reblasted with V10 (decided to do full version instead of stripped) after a dalvik wipe, and everything went well. Phone goes to sleep fine now, except for text messages from work during the night (which unfortunately isn't something that will ever totally go away while I work in IT).

- Great, sounds (looking) good then.
Just in case you haven't set it - for late night beeps & flashing LED, go to Settings > CM >Sound - - - set "Enable quiet hours" to mute so that no sounds will be played, disable vibrations & dim LED brightness. That should help during regular periods of DND (do not disturb) as it is for me w. multiple mail accounts merged & pulled by Google mail - then pushed. Pop3 mail not a problem - don't get or use SMS much on mine so it's not an issue & I don't enable my twitter feeds unless I need to.
(LOL, if I can only "teach" my alpha-numeric pager to do the same, I would not jumping out of bed at 4 am or what not but that's a different story in & of itself.)
Off topic: just in case, CS is reading the post again, this latest vanilla/full ROM is really rocking & rolling - I haven't seen a repeat of the phone not charging - out on assignment Tuesday evening & had NAV-Car Mode on for 2 hours and no FC, etc. Low-power USB charging/generic mini-usb cable and/or home charger (generic/Moto, etc.) putting out only 500 or 600 maH while plugged in seemed to be the culprit in failing to even trickle charge the Eris & draining it fast. It's getting kind of quiet & no news or bugs popping up lately over at the main thread in the developer's subforum .... Overall, it's a job well done - thanks !!

Glad everything is straightened out now
Thanks for the feedback on v10 as well. I'm testing 11 as we speak. So far so good. Should be posting it later tonight

Hey guys,
First up apologies if I'm breaking any rules but I'm new to this. Anyway, I have an international unlocked version of the S3 and I just got my Jelly Bean update today. While everything seems to be working fine, I've encountered two problems. Firstly, whenever I visit the stock e-mail app the screen seems to go dim very drastically (im on auto-brightness) and I don't remember it being like this during ICS.
Secondly, I've seem to lost my "Vibrate on Screen Tap" option. Which means while I still have my ripple effect available for my lockscreen, I no longer have the vibration to go with it which is something I grew quite fond of. So I was wondering if these are problems specific to my mobile or everybody as well?
I wondered about the exact same thing until I decided to go through all the menu options and discovered that the phone had put itself in power saving mode. Disabled that and screen vibrate is back again

Yea I faced the issues as well. Dsicovered that once you disabled powersaving mode, when you access the email app, it won't dim anymore. Hope Samsung will fix this issue in the next update.
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

disabling hardware overlays always fixes it for me
same issue
Have the same issue going on had freezing and resolved that now I'm stuck on these lines multiple diff ROMs I am running cm10 I see people saying he overlays can someone provide a little more info on what that is and where to find it? Attaching screen shots of these multi color lines we speak of

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.

Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhPPke_Nbw
(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

By chance can you give some more details about this Trickster Mod like where to find it and what it is supposed to do?
A link to a thread would be great

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
Hi, yesterday I upgraded from Paranoidandroid 3.68 to the new project Paranoidandroid 3.99 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397762
But I have an annoying problem - The touch button backlight keeps randomly turning on and switches off only when i click on screen. This only happens when I use it, it seems to be some kind of response or something. I have gone in settings>buttons>backlight and disabled it yet this does not disable the random turning on of it. Anyone know how can I completely disable it without installing custom kernels? Or what is causing it to randomly turn on all the time.
That's due to the touch key backlights. On 4.2.2 (PA 3.68) there was an option to disable them. On 4.3 it was removed by CM so a lot of other ROMs don't have the option either. What I've done on other 4.3 ROMs is to install the device settings apk and use that to turn them off. I haven't tried it on PA though.
I'm on mobile so can't give you a link... Search through my past posts from a couple weeks back. I posted the apk and instructions a couple of times, once in the PACman thread, once in Q&A. I also saw the steps quoted in Q&A by someone else too, you might come across that thread.
Oh wait you could probably even go to my 'most thanked posts'. It might be one of those. See how you go.

Hmm, thanks! But I did that, installed whole custom settings apk and launched the custom settings and turned the backlight off in there too, but it's exactly the same. Also this rom already has backlight button setting in options, so it didn't do anything new as far as i can tell.
The key backlight turns on randomly after like 5-30sec of pressing on screen. It's not like the usual backlight turning on keypress but it turns on after some time instead.
Edit: Backlight keeps turning on even if i have the default 3sec deley. the backlight would turn off after 3 sec and then back on after like 10sec until screen turns off or i press again on screen. Weird, maybe rom bug? I cant post on rom thread because i don't have enough posts
Edit 2: OK I have linked it to screen brightness. Every time screen brightness changes (from adaptive lightning, screen timeout and app/game setting) the key backlight turns on. I have no idea how to force the key backlight to stay off though, so thats why im here
Oh wow. Good job narrowing it down to that, I imagine it wasn't easy to figure out what was causing it. Have you read the rom thread for the last 15 pages or so? See if someone else is having the same issue. Also read the OP and following posts, for known bugs /FAQ. You should have read OP before flashing anyway but read it again
If you don't find anything else, try to get a few extra posts and then post in the thread. You seem to know what you're doing, so try helping out a few other people on Q&A maybe.

The latest(todays) build fixed the issue. Thanks for help!
Hey,
Updated from 4.2 to 4.3 hoping it was a glitch with 4.2 but my screen brightness flickers up and down what appears to be about 5 levels consistently (very fast, resembles a flickering) whenever the display is on. The brightness control also doesn't work, it has no effect on the brightness levels, you can slide it from one side to the other with no actual change.
This has an ill affect of draining the battery about 1% a minute when the display is on.
Anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I have the auto brightness unchecked and when enabled there is no change either.

When you flashed to 4.3 did you do a wipe? Have you tried a reset at any time? If you just updated without wipe it would have retained any previous settings or conflicts that may cause this.

I'll do a quick backup and then try a wipe to see if that clears it up. Thanks for the suggestion.
maybe you has to sent to service central but before just update again ,hope will fine
Did all the wipes and no go, called up Bell and have her going in for a RMA check. Can't wait to see what they say.

Are you sure you flashed the device correctly and followed the procedures in LordManhattan's guide or [NUT]/blueether's posts?
