Ok lately I've been experiencing some strange thing's going on with my phone like it just going ham at times with the touch screen going crazy and pushing all sorts of bottoms while I have the keyboard on or openning apps while just on the home screen. I'm not sure what it is but I'd like to get to the bottom of this with some help. Thanks in a advance...

I've only really noticed that when the screen has any liquids on it. If it does that I just turn the screen off, wipe it off, and turn it back on. Besides that you could make a backup and try a new rom and/or keyboard to rule out any software problems.

Ok you may have a point. From the moment I bought it I have always had a screen protector on it but I recently took it off and it's been naked for a while. But I have noticed the same thing even with other roms. I was about to blame it on the KDDI Radio I put on it simply because this coincided with the time frame when I decided to do the update. Thank you for the response, I will put a screen on it and see if anything changes...

Something is making my photons screen unable to turn back on without a battery pull. Anyone else having this issue? It has happened three times in less than 24 hours.

I also keep having a feeling it has something to do with the pocket detection mode. Just happened again a few minutes ago. I'm gonna leave pocket detection off and report back tomorrow or until it happens again.

I've had that problem too, I can see the backlight turn on but the screen stays black. I wrote it off as a bug. It only did it once every few days, and yes I did have pocket detection enabled.
Yeah it seems like a badass feature but if it is causing a bug that annoying ill have to leave it off :/

Did it again with pocket detection off. Factory reset? Or did I get a dud phone?

Factory reset did not fix my issue.
Still happening no matter if pocket detection on or off.
Happen to me once every 2-3 days.
So its probably a software issue bc the button does work. Wonder if this is occurring on alien or homebase

The pocket detection doesn't work for me anyways.

Screen of death didn't hold up to the ghetto mod, updated to the 198_6 sbf, crossing my fingers it will cut down on this issue
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I'm on homebase and haven't had this issue. But I also didn't have it on the stock photon either? Perhaps it's like the OTA update failing for some and not others. I remember reading some people on stock failing and some being able to do it. So I'm not totally sure......But that's something to ponder on.

DWake014 ,
Did you get this phone recently?
This is a known issue with some phones that went out with a corrupt firmware from Motorola. There is no patch that can fix the firmware from Sprint as of now. I needed to return mine for an exchange. Sprint explained that when it gets to the area on the firmware that is corrupt, as a safety mode it basically freezes the phone and cut the power. That's why it takes a battery pull to restart the phone. There was a large batch released with this bug. I have gone through 4 Photons to get my current one with no freezing issues. I would suggest not going to the same store if possible so you get a different lot # on the replacement phone. Good luck and get that exchanged asap. Peace
My biggest concern is that I got it off of ebay... I know I can bs them and go around the question likes it none of their business but do you think they will hassle me?

If you have an account and a phone with issues they should replace it. As long as you take it to a tech center. That MAY work.
Sent from my Photon via XDA
Yeah its still a sprint sold phone and I have the protection plan on my account. Shouldn't be too many questions asked. Btw put the leaked sbf on last night and it has been going without any screen of death. I have been shaking it around and putting it down in its front and back and it hasn't done anything. Will keep this updated if it happens again
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
If you have the plan you should be fine. I got my Evo from Radio Shack and Sprint covered it. As for the SBF. I haven't flashed the new one. So not sure about it. But I haven't had the sleep of death issue either.
Sent from my Photon via XDA
You are probably fine then, about 4 hours and counting so far off the charger, longest time yet
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I'm glad to hear it's working for you. But yeah, Sprint should take the phone in and replace it as long as it's a software issue, and they don't see you're rooted. which most techs don't care anymore anyway. And you have the insurance. Just make sure it's a repair center.
Updated yesterday (12/21) and found that my phone battery was draining fast. Handset got very warm in my holster.
This morning I noticed that the display would never go blank unless forced by tapping the power button. It would dim but not blank out.
This problem did not exist prior to the OTA update.
Any ideas?
If your 100% stock and haven't done any mods to your phone, I would call up or go into an att store and tell em their sh**** update made your phone turn onto a hand warmer :-\

That's a good idea. Wished I still lived in Michigan. It would be a feature then.

OK. Kinda weird, but this is computer stuff.
Changed a bunch of wall papers back and forth. Reset default launcher (was Launcher Pro) to TouchWiz. No help. Randomly turned on/off various Display settings. No joy.
Let it sit for a while and all of sudden it started working OK in TouchWiz. Restarted Launcher Pro and still working. Set my favorite live wall paper and it is still working OK.
Oh weLL
Sweet. Weird indeed. Might have just had an app acting funky keeping screen awake. Anyway glad its working correctly!

I've changed it around several times to no avail. Then it started working for some reason. Oh well.
I am having this same issue. I pulled the battery and it worked for two days and acted up again. I rebooted the phone and now its working again. Very annoying.... also noticed after ota update.
Has to be some kind of app that prevents the display from turning off. Try searching through your app list and see which apps have those permissions.
I've got an issue and would love some feedback from the community. I just got a replacement DX2 and threw CM7 RC1 on, same as I did with my old phone. On this phone though I did flash the new mashup. For some reason when I shut my screen off it keeps turning it self back on over and over again. It does it when it feels like. I've done a battery pull and wiped dalvik/cache. Any suggestions?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Never had that happen, personally. Also running CM7RC1 with the mashup. Could it possibly be an app that's turning the screen back on?

I had this issue and discovered I had a couple apps that used something called airpush. Anyway, don't really remember exactly what it does but there's an app called airpush detector I downloaded that will tell you which apps you have that have it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, I just flashed the stock cm7 build.prop and so far no more screen gremlins.

I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong place.
I am on Deck's 11-24 build from IRC and hoping that it fixes the problem I've been having.
Sometimes my phone will go crazy and the screen will start reacting as though some phantom is using it. The screens pan around, random apps will open, random buttons will be pressed, etc. Usually, I have to shut the scree off and wait a few seconds for it to go back to normal. If it isn't that happening, sometimes the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.
I am S-ON
Have been dirty flashing
Wasn't flashing the kernel of each new nightly
Have flashed (using Flash Image GUI) the kernel for TD 11-24 build
Yeah I have expierenced that myself and I'm on mean Rom 6.4

Dingdingding. Already got one replaced a few months ago but this one is showing symptoms now too. Easy way to know it is happening is to enable show touches in developer options.

Howdy!
I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to read 9:20 and then have it flash to 9:45 right as I click to relocl the screen.
I've done multiple searches and can't find anything other than one post that said this is normal since the phone is waking from "deep sleep" and there will always be a delay. I don't think this is right since I have used WidgeLocker on multiple phones over the last year or so and never noticed this. Its pretty hard to miss.
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried rebooting, checked for updates, etc.
Thanks.

I would point to this as the problem. Even without widgetlocker this occurs. Not sure what rom you are on, if any, but have you tried the zero wake lag options? It stopped the problem for me.
I am on Beans 9. I recently had to do a restore from nandroid. I wonder if a setting didn't restore fully. I will check it out.
Is there any downside to zero lag options? Just wondering why it wouldn't be default.
Thanks!
