Sounds like it could be a bad proximity sensor.

Thats what i do for now but it get annoying that it blacks out like that and i forgot to mention on whatsapp i cant press anything on the screen, like i cant end call, turn on the speaker, mute or anything. All i can do is back out of the app and open it again and can do whatever i want but as soon as i hit the green bar that says return to call the screen freezes again and nothing on the screen works

The symptoms seem to point to the sensor saying that it is close to your ear even when it is not. Is something blocking it? A new case or something maybe

My A101it, just shut it self... after that I cannot open the device... please help...
Try holding the power button down for like 10-15 seconds, then press it again and see if it starts. When I first got the device that happened to me a few times. Hasn't happened since the 2.0.71 update, but that was the fix. The 10-15 second power button hold basically does a "cold boot" like on a PC that is locked up.

Update on my A101IT, even thought its totally blackout, I can still press something on the screen, before I install RAMSHOOTER and place widget on the desk. I can still remember where I can press. So if press that part I can still here something. Maybe I can update orignal firmware...
In order for me not to guess,Is there anyone there can post a screenshot of a Recovery Menu that has a Developers Options or when you update the firmware by using a PC and transfering the update, so that I can touch the correct button...

Latest update...
If I put some light like a flash light on the screen I can see a some of the deskstop... so its like the device has no light inside..
Even in the Archos startuplogo no light, but I can see it using a flash light.
Okay, so basically you are in a "no warranty" situation (unless this Hong Kong site will allow you to return it for replacement). The problem you are describing does not sound like a software issue. This seems to be a hardware problem.
You might want to find some kind of "tear apart" diagram for the 101 like http://www.theandroidphone.com/tag/how-to-disassemble-the-archos-101/
Perhaps you will get lucky and it will just be a loose connection or something simple like that. Otherwise you will need to get a new display...which is nearly as expensive as the unit itself. If that is the case, seriously...just wait a few more months and get one of the new Honeycomb tablets.
i had a similar problems some weeks ago with my 101 (was running an older firmware when it happened though)
for me those steps helped, i found them somewhere on the archosfans forums:
- remove sd card if you are using one
- hold down power button for 10 to 15 seconds
- release power button
- tap the power button 5 times
- archos will boot now if everything worked out
hope this helps

Sounds like you turned the back light off. Some widgets have the ability to turn it off and not just down. Have you checked the settings for the back light to make sure it is on?

on mine, the proximity sensor is constantly blinking red while on call. When I cover the sensor slightly, it turns off the screen, but blinking never stops. Is this normal or defective? I see red light coming out of iphone4's sensor, but it never blinks. this is the first phone I've seen which has blinking red sensor light.
in my phone the red light stays ON even when im playing games or surfing on my phone and it gets turn off when i make a call or lock the screen. what does it indicates???

SGS2 red light fixed
Hi, found your posts when trying to solve my led.
But then noticed an update notification.
Got a Viber update which clearly states "fixes proximity sensor issue"
And it did.
Hope it helps some of you.
For the first time ever, I've actually seen that red light thing turn on when I'm texting. I've seen it turn on before when I've set my phone to have a face lock, but just now, I was texting with some friends and noticed it was on. I also noticed that it turned off when I left a conversation. When I went back into a conversation, any one, it turned back on.
Do you have direct call enabled? As in, from a text message, you can lift your phone to your ear, and it calls the person in the conversation?
If so, that's why the sensor is on. It will always be 'waiting' for close contact, indicating that you have lifted the phone to your ear.

About 2-3 times a hour, the screen will turn itself on and display the lockscreen, then go back to sleep if i don't touch it.. I always think i'm receiving a text message or something and it's getting annoying.
I'm on VR 2.3, but I also had this problem on Lite'ning, so i don't think it's rom dependent. Could any of these apps be the issue? I've frozen a bunch of them tho and it didn't help.

You must have something running on the background, could be GMaps/Latitude, Push/Pull exchange etc etc..to know what it is, download and install Better Battery Stats and look under the 'Wakelocks' option. You will see what is causing the Awakes and take further steps.
And ATK is not advised for Android. (I was against it but now I too agree it )

edit* never mind, found it on xda.
Under wakelocks there's a huge list of stuff. Can any of these be the culprit?
Just check the first three or four, no need to check those which has some seconds duration, only check which has some minutes, like 10,15 mins duration.

my phone gets new problem each day and any further i go it get worse.
first i couldn’t connect to Vpn sometimes. i thought it may be personal problem.
then it got reset randomly with no reason. i didn't notice.
then it didn't recognized by computer and randomly didn't get charged.
today when it goes to standby mode it light up after few seconds and if i try to put it back in sleep mode by pushing power bottom it gets freeze and hang up.
Even when I turn the phone off sometimes it turns on by itself and after booting goes to car mode
Does have anybody similar problem?

The only culprit I cant really think off is your Advanced task killer, its doing more harm than good. Uninstall it and observe.
There a read up about task killers and what they actually do

I see, I have uninstalled it and monitored my wakelocks with better battery stats.
Can't really find anything. Facebook, Spotify, Dialer, Tapatalk, Widgetlocker etc. Tried freezing them all except dialer problem still occurs (but not so often?)
I received the phone yesterday night and have been using it heavily since then. My intention is not to be a hater, but rather to see if anyone is having these issues. I'm coming from a Sprint GS2 and have not had any of the issues below...dare I say it was smoother in everyday operation?
1. When on lockscreen and accessing settings - lag/slow/studder
2. After initial phone unlock, scroll left/right and lag/studder
3. After initial phone unlock, opening app drawer takes about .5-1 sec to open. After that, it is instant.
4. After killing all apps and going back to the homescreen, scrolling produces an initial studder.
5. When scrolling through homescreens, the screen recognizes a 'long-press' and highlights whatever widget/app was selected and either moves it, or highlights it to resize. This only happens when scrolling through all screens quickly and constantly. I do this to see how quick I can scroll.
I think these are all because of Sense. I remember it being heavy when I had my Inspire, but don't recall having issues like these.
Mine is running pretty smooth.
Might be an app that's not playing nice.
Some folks are having some issues with WIFI. TRy shutting WIFI off and see if it goes away.
I also tend to minimize apps using my location. They might all do a "Where am I" everytime you wake it.

I had this last night. A little airplane mode action brought back my connectivity, and I haven't had it drop 3G today. Hoping it was a fluke.
I have had 1 random reboot since yesterday, but otherwise it has really been running quick and nice. I am truly impressed with this device. Remind me of when I got my OG Evo and how impressed with it I was at the time.
Thanks for the legit replies guys. I usually end up making the threads that idiots reply to, but so far this crowd isn't half bad!
I'm going to keep working with it and hopefully the phone will lose the quirks (idk how but a man can hope).

Proximity sensor doesn't seem to work when I am on a call. Screen turns off before I get the phone to my ear, doesn't turn back on when it leaves my ear, and if I then turn the screen on using the power button then the screen just stays on during the call even if put back to my ear.

Yep, I've turned off all of those (even the international roaming guards) and still get the audible notification. Even with the phone on vibrate or silent modes. Changing notification sound doesn't change the roaming notification either...

When Navigating Screen goes black. Power cycle does not reinstate map only closing in apps works.
When I was connected to wifi, my phone wasn't playing nice with Sprint's data network. Despite the browser working, I couldn't get speech-to-text working or some other things that require data. Turning it off and then on again seemed to fix it, but it's happened a couple times.

No issues here with the proximity sensor. It turns on and off when it should. If anything, it turns off a bit sooner than the old evo did, but not an issue either way.
Yesterday (day 1), my speech to text was crap. I'd say a sentence, it would record one word or letter. I cleared the voice recognition cache to reset it to learn from new. Maybe that helped, maybe something on google needed a day to cycle.
One or two fc's for a sideloaded app. No reboots or other crashes.
I am rooted (less than 4 hours after bring it home).
Also, I'm using nova launcher. I like adw ex, but the 3 vertical dots at the bottom are annoying. If/when they update it for ICS I may switch back. Nova works quite well, with almost as many bells/whistles as adw. Also using latest widget locker for the lock screen. I hate sense, and more so the sense lock screen. Several choices are not enough. I have all my frequently used apps right there on the lock screen.
Also, both adw and nova lets you access some of the hidden settings/functions from the settings menu using the 'activities' shortcuts.
Hi everyone,
sorry if this has been answered, I tried to search. Since the last samsung update my phone is constantly turning on the torch or calling 911 when its in my pocket. I've tried everything and just cant seem to stop this stupidity!
Is there a way to fully disable touchscreen when the screen is off? When you press the powerbutton and screen wakes up the touch starts again? I dont care about waking the screen up with the fingerprint!
thanks
You should have these settings, they use to be there with Pie on Samsung's.

Turning the display away from your skin and using a case with slightly raised display guards helps a lot. Turning on Accidental touch protection stops it most times.

I have all those setup, I have double tap to wake all off also.
I just installed Touch Blocker but it doesnt behave as I would expect. The touch is still active when on lockscreen/off and then blocks once you unlock it. so there is still a chance could butt dial 911.. hmm

I use the Zizo Bolt case, it provides excellent protection, a two layer system with an outer polycarbonate shell. Never comes apart in a multi impact drop. It has slightly raises display guards that help reduce false touches when using and in pocket. I have 2 N10+'s and use One Handed Operation plus as well as Edge Panels, it doesn't interfere with their use very much.
I don't use lock screen, double tap on/off. If you face it away from your skin and then be careful not to touch the screen when placing it in your pocket it works well. BDU pant button (unbuttoned) cargo pockets are great for these phones. Most times Accidental Lock Protection stops it. The other thing you can do is set the display timeout to a lower value; less time to do damage. However mine are still set to 10 minutes. I habitually double tap it all the time.
Lol, a couple times I pulled it out and saw menus I never saw before. I explore settings etc a lot too. So many buried submenus
911? I'm more afraid of changing a vital setting.

Hi everyone,
sorry if this has been answered, I tried to search. Since the last samsung update my phone is constantly turning on the torch or calling 911 when its in my pocket. I've tried everything and just cant seem to stop this stupidity!
Is there a way to fully disable touchscreen when the screen is off? When you press the powerbutton and screen wakes up the touch starts again? I dont care about waking the screen up with the fingerprint!
thanks

Not exactly what you are asking BUT just got a S21 two weeks ago and pocket dialed police twice - they called first but still= bad.
Tried to get energency tab off lockscreen with Samsung Remote Tutor [ and Samsung tech ] - not possible .
NOW however I have fingerprint enabled .
When phone is in my pocket in 'standby black screen mode' 'screen off'
IF it is jostled around - it goes to the
FINGERPRINT SCREEN -
and can not call 911 .
And I get messages sometimes that screen was temporarily disabled due to random touches or something like that but it turns back on right away.
SO - the fingerprint reader screen acts as a buffer where the 'emergency call ' button is NOT exposed in my pocket .
Questions ? I was very annoyed with this the first day and second day I got the phone .
