Is any one else having this issue. It's in multiple ROM's , and not only when watching video, but can happen at any time, any game, etc.
The tablet will just go blank and i have to reboot it to get it working again.
I have tried upping the minimum clock setting to see if maybe that's it, but that didn't seem to fix it either.
Any ideas? would love to be able to use my tablet without it having to be rebooted often to do basic stuff.
thanks for your help.
I installed CM7 and "knock on wood" have been able to keep the tablet from doing it's weird blank shut down issue. Have even watched video's i have not been able to watch up to this point.
Anyone else have issues with their accelerometer being off. I was trying to play temple run and noticed I had to hold it at an angle for the player to stay in the middle of the screen. Then I loaded up bubble level and it shows it being 5 degrees off. I tried to calibrate it from the screen menu and a factory reset neither of which helped. Should I send to Samsung for repairs?
Hmm, no clue. Have you tried Googling "how to calibrate android accelerometer" or similar?

Man, that's so weird. I had almost the same problem on the same day. Suddenly, my player's accelerometer freaked out. The x axis keeps showing -9 at horizontal position. I have tried calibrating it many times and also tried lots of wipes and even 2 flashes using odin and nothing seems to solve the problem.
My player was bought 2 months ago in Brazil and I have never let it fall or suffer any kind of physical shock. Now I don't know even how to send for repair cause I only have rooted roms to flash on it and support may discover custom roms through CWM recovery on boot.
I'm still pretty sure it's not hardware malfunction. Something has happened and I can't find out how to reset sensors the hard way.
Strange that happened to us on the same day (at least, with me was on 21st).
I'll keep searching for a solution. It's horrible to use the player with this issue. (Not to say, almost impossible.)
Best regards.
I have found this and it seems to work for many ppl. I'll try it later, when I get back home (I'm at work).
First, navigate to /data/system folder and then rename or delete ms3c_yamaha.cfg
Later (you need to have your phone rooted), try this at the terminal:
adb shell
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
then place your phone horizontally and still and press enter.
Finally, run the Horizontal Calibration from the Display settings and then reboot.
Really hope it helps and work.
I tried everything I could
So, I got back home and started trying many things I saw on the web.
I reflashed again, using odin, different roms (now I'm keeping Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Galaxy Player 5.0 For USA and INT (Rls:3.5) with rotation off).
I also tried what I have posted before and it didn't work, actually I found 2 files similar to the ones posted before: One is caled sensorlib_yamaha_test.so and the other is sensorlibconfig.so (not pretty sure about the name of the second file).
What happened during my attempts was that: before, the X sensor had the problem (value -9 with the cellphone laid on a desk, at horizontal position) and now, surprisingly, the X sensor is OK and now the Y sensor has the failure.
Using the HORIZONTAL CALIBRATION in SAMSUNG 2.3.6 (or 2.3.5, whatever), the ball only stays in the middle of the screen if I keep my phone in vertical position - upside (cause of the Y axis). Even if I rotate the tab in every direction possible, the ball never goes UP, so it only keeps with negative values and never positive ones.
BUT If I shake the phone, not so hard and not so soft, I see the ball of the calibration software moving on all directions. But when I manage to do it softly (as we do with normal use), the ball never goes up.
I have downloaded many sensor programs to test the calibration and after trying about 20 programs, ONLY ONE have showed the exact values as if the accelerometer was normal, but the calibration of the program did not affect the accelerometer on the system and other programs.
So, this is it, of course I won´t give up and try as many things as I can. Here in Brazil we have a saying that is: I'm Brazilian and I never give up.
P.S. I hope someone reads this and give me ideas. hehe
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day u all.
Great news - a solution
GREAT NEWS - I HAVE SOLVED IT
Ok, after lots of attempts here is what I did.
I have downloaded android Froyo firmware from a Korean website (its on a thread of android development from galaxy player). Then I flashed it with ODIN and when it turned on, at first it was discalibrated the same way (Y axis only showing from 0 to -9).
I turned the player OFF and then turned it ON holding vol + button to enter in stock recovery mode. In recovery mode I wiped cache and data. Then I tried to calibrate again, with my device upside down and then voila.
Of course it was sort of a luck, but I had to try everything my mind could guess.
After all, I think that maybe It wasn't necessary to flash other roms (but it would be impossible to solve it using ICS due to a lack of calibrator - without having to use terminal / for curious noobies like me).
Then, I always tried to calibrate my tab laying it in horizontal position and that is the why I never got any satisfactory results. When I tried the calibration with the tab in 'incorrect' positions, the problem was solved. I guess, the calibration program tried to compensate the wrong results cause of the vertical position and then it calibrated itself.
Hope this helps someone someday. (But I really hope you won't have this kind of problem. It's frustrating.
Any device you have, if you have accelerometer problems, you should try this idea: wipe data and cache, and the first calibration you do, do it with your device turned to the side that has the wrong value or to the oposite side. This worked for me.
Best Regards,
Very happy Zilian28.
go to settings>display>horizontal calibration lay it on a flat surface and calibrate it

Sunday, I started having a problem where my phone (AT&T Galaxy Note 2) would bring itself out of the lock screen without me touching anything. The screen will stay on for 10-15 seconds and then shut off again. It will then stay off anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
Very odd, right? I figured I downloaded a bad app that was causing the issue. I removed practically every app I could (I wasn't going to go through all of them to see which had permissions to bring the phone out of standby). It still kept doing the same thing.
So I did a hard reset on the phone. That should clear everything, right? The problem still kept happening.
I start thinking maybe it's a hardware issue... EXCEPT for it doesn't happen when the phone is in Airplane Mode! Which brings me back around to thinking it's some rogue app, but it still happens even when there's nothing but the default software installed from after a hard reset. It can't be the power button or a bad proximity sensor if it doesn't happen in Airplane Mode, right?
So I took it to the AT&T store and I didn't expect much. The one guy tried to play with my settings and didn't find anything wrong. He took it to the manager in the back room and the manager said I should do a hard reset (ignoring the fact that I told his employee I already had done so twice).
I've looked for answers online. The ones I've found I've tried. I've removed all applications. I've changed the screen time outs. I've even downloaded a Lock Screen replacement program. I've tried using anti-virus to scan for problems. It starts to happen again immediately after I perform the hard reset. I've moved the brightness settings. I've removed the S-Pen thinking it might be causing issues. I've turned on and off motion options. I've turned on and off wi-fi, GPS, screen rotation, multi-window, etc. Power Saving mode doesn't help. Blocking Mode doesn't help. The only thing that works is Airplane Mode.
I have NOT tried rooting my phone. I'm scared to do so, even though I'm a UNIX admin and a techie and shouldn't be scared of something like this.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm running whatever the normal, latest AT&T android version (4.1.2) for the Note 2. This is killing my battery and reducing screen life (is that a big deal though? I don't know).
Hello,
From few days I'm facing this issue that videos pause itself and have to resume manually every few random seconds. I've tried clearing the data in Apps(Settings). Someone said that putting the phone in airplane mode and removing will recover and hasn't prooved to work.
Also along with the there is shattering of screen for very few milliseconds as if we click refresh button in PC(if it has anything to do with the pause and can help experts)
Hoping if someone had this type of problem and has solved it.
Have attached CatLog file.
Thanks.
I own an LG K7, and every so often, the screen will lock up. Its not that the phone freezes, its just that the touch input just stops working. I could be watching a video, and the video will still play, I just wont be able to touch anything on the screen. The only fix, however temporary, is turning the display off and then back on. I have tried factory resetting, I have tried clearing my cache, etc. I can't seem to find a permanent fix. Could someone help me?
