Greetings everyone,
Recently my girlfriends S3 started having these Screen artifacts/Graphical glitch and I have no idea what is causing it. I am hoping that someone would be willing to help me out on this, as I have yet to experience anything like this personally. She is rooted and running a custom Rom and kernel.
It seems to start after opening random apps, usually games. Rebooting seems to get rid of the problem. Her phone is not overclocked/underclocked and never overheats.
Her system setup is:
Rom: XXUGMJ9 NeatROM lite v5.3
Kernel: boeffla-kernel 5.1
Video can be found here of the problem.

Thanks in advance
Try stock Rom

Thanks for your response, but she had a previous version of neatrom without any issues for 7 months or so. I'll try reverting to a previous or another Rom but sock is too bloated and slow

Hi,
For the past while i was getting the SOD only using Siyah based kernels and Phenomenal was working fine for me, but after updating to version 6.1 my phone has started to switch off again. Is this a problem with hardware and do i need to send the phone away for repair or can it be fixed by myself some other way?
I have went back to Phenomenal 5,5 kernel and am waiting to see if i still get the problem.
Cheers.

Hello,
I have tried just about all the latest ICS and JB roms......
The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
Are you rooted/unrooted?
What rom you are using? -and- What kernel are you using?
Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
I have a UK T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II I9100XXLQ6
I am rooted
I was Dual Booting with SuperNexus JB Build 2 and Portal Rom 2.4 using the latest siyah kernel and i got the SOD using SuperNexus, i then removed The second rom and used the ultimate kernel cleaning script to remove Siyah and installed Phenomenal 6.1 with Portal Rom and i got the SOD a day later.
I am not using any mods or extra scripts
I have not changed the dpi
I noticed this problem when i first tried a dual boot a few months ago but has been stable until now only with Phenomenal 5.5. i have tried the other siyah based kernels and i still got the SOD.
Yesterday i flashed the Phenomenal 5.5 along with Portal rom and it's been fine so far but i can get 2-4 days before it happens then it happens a few times daily after the first SOD.
EDIT: Thats it switched off again. Think i will need to send it in for repair?
Hey all,
This is the first time I post something.
Last weekend I upgraded my phone to CM 9.1
Phone specs:
Galaxy S2
kernel: ge9cef6c blinky-ghost
Cyanogenmod 9.1 stable
While installing I wiped out all caches etc..
Now ... when I play an app:
usually a 3D game. The game freezes so that no button works. I have to get the battery out of it.
It happened a couple of other times with non 3d apps too.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
good read, you need to work on your rhythm though, i can tell by the line length you were going for iambic tetrameter but you kinda failed.
Galaxy S2
kernel: ge9cef6c blinky-ghost
Cyanogenmod 9.1 stable
While installing I wiped out all caches etc..
has the potential to be a great haiku, more work needed.

Try to use another kernel. Try siyah or dorimanx

With siyah, there is a certain number when he stopped making ics kernels. I think it was 4.1.5 but I am not 100% sure. Maybe you can Google it.
But why don't you want to upgrade to jellybean?

I'm having the same thing happen. Try to go back to the stock rr kernel. I think dorimanx is having freezing problems.

I'm assuming that you guys flashed another ROM, or reflash and the issue persist.
Am I right?

Are you underclocking or undervolting at all? CPU/GPU
Any tweak scripts flashed? Though we all want to benefit from extended battery savings our phones are all different and this can sometimes lead to freezes or reboots...
Sometimes it can be related to overheating as well, so this is when under clocking (using a lower frequency) may be useful. Are you usually using your phone when it reboots or it reboots when it is sitting there?
If you arent underclocked or undervolted at the moment you can try using a different scheduler and governor through an app like Voltage Control or SetCPU. Otherwise as some individuals mentioned you can try using a different kernel. I think DorimanX at the moment is too new that there are some bugs that are being tweaked out. Since you're on JB (I assume the LSJ leak) you can either try stock PhilZ kernel, Jeboo 1.1 or Siyah Beta 4
Unfortunately I cannot ask questions in specific thread, so I would like to do it now.
I have a problem after flashing LS8, specifically Wanamlite v.14. For some time phone works perfectly, until it suddenly switches off. I am able to power it up, but it freezes on the first screen with logo and model number. I am however able to access recovery.
And so I did - accessed recovery, flashed rom again, unfortunately, the only thing that worked was to do a full factory reset.
It worked... for a while. Then the story repeated itself. This time I did exactly the same, but started digging: some reported, that it might be a problem with kernel, which is Philz newest 4.00 b22. So I changed kernel: Dorimanx 7.44 - got serious overheating problems and the same probem. Jeboo 1.2 - the same. I then discovered, that eg. Jeboo has something from Philz kernel, so I flashed earlier version of Jeboo 1.1f. I am currently at this stage. Oh, btw. my chip is insane, if it changes anything.
Can anyone please tell me if you had similar problems, maybe not only users of Wanamlite, but other roms (which would confirm problems with kernel)? Can anyone tell me if there is any solution? Or at least does anyone knows what is happening? It is getting really weird, as I have been reading post of people reporting identical problem as I have, but devs seem to avoid the topic... Or maybe you guys are working hard to find out what is the problem - in that case a simple one line statement "we are aware. working on it" will suffice. Please, I am starting to be desperate here...
Regards.
Try Siyah kernel v6 beta4. I am also using WannamLite and have no issues at all.
Odp: [Q] Black Logo Screen problem
Thank you for the tip. I found the kernel elsewhere, however is there a thread about siyah v6 somewhere here, on xda-developers?
I will test it against problems I encountered and report for future readers.
The question still stays: what happened to me and all these other people?

Yes it is, try to always download from xda.
You've experienced conflict between ROM & Kernel. Always check the custom ROM thread and read it upside down so you can spot potential issues regarding this kinda conflict.

I did it, however, which is weird, only some of people reported it and dev, who in this case is Wanam, did not reply.
And I know, that it seems to be a conflict between rom and kernel, but how is it possible that not everyone had this issue while flashing Wanamlite with factory reset and kernel included in the rom? Nevertheless, I am sticking with Siyah for the while and see what happens.

I have the same issue, it seems with LS8 whenever I reboot, there's a 50-50 chance my phone will "die" and I'll need a complete wipe and rom install
If I do a hot boot within Titanium Backup, guaranteed my phone will brake.
This happens with Siyah, PhilZ and Jeboo, it's not really a kernel issue, now a Wanamlite's issue since people on NEATROM also said they suffered the same issue, there's some problem with the firmware, seems that whenever the phone doesn't shut down properly, it won't start again.
Wish I could provide a log, but since phone totally dies, I don't know how to retrieve it.
@op: you got a siyah q&a thread sticked in the Q&A section.
Why don't you guys flash stock while you sort this out?
Custom ROMs will be updated soon now that ls8 is out. Therefore kernels will be updated as well.

I'm having the same problem too. I have been using the Stock LS8 and Philz Kernel (4.00 b22-b30). I stopped using Siyah b4 in the previous JB Stock Leak because I had isues with the camera freezing.
Any suggestion?

Well I am still on siyah v6.b4. So far so good. But I am not too happy with battery life... You might try jeboo 1-1f, as some reported it doesn't cause any problems. I had jeboo 1-2 for a while but out generated the same bootloop...

What do you mean by that? We are discussing here ls8 kernels, aren't we? Newest Phillz is a stock one based on ls8, afaik.

[Sorry for double post, I thought it merges automatically]
I truly don't know what was being discussed here, If I posted that is because I must think that all ls8 kernels are in beta.

Hi everyone,
I bought my international version last year June , and everything went well as soon as I upgrade to 4.1.2. My csc is TPA I guess is from Panama. Anyway, I felt a little laggy and then I flashed custom rom ( always stock rom before). I flashed omega, wanalite, aokp, liquidsoomth and so on. At first I suffered from sudden death or frozen (I have to press power button until it reboot), I thought it might because custome rom is not stable as stock, but so many roms that I've tried all have the same problems. Then I knew there is Sds problem, but even I flash those custom kernel to fixed it, some times still sudden death or frozen. Can anyone give some ideas to fix this? And I found that google apps cause death and frozen as well.
Thank you guys, I need this help.
Sudden death does not equal freeze afaik. It means your phone dying completely. As for freezing, if you didn't get any freezes from stock, I suggest you leave it on stock.
