Screen Flicker/reset - Captivate General

Hi guys,
Here's a problem. Every 7 secs or so, my captivate's screen refreshes or resets (not sure what to call it). The result of is
- If I am playing a video, it stops playing, screen goes blank for a second, and it restarts.
- If I am on the applications screen, I am returned back to home screen.
- I am reading an email, and have scrolled down, the page refreshes, and I am taken to the top of the email.
I started couple of weeks ago. I am thinking it started after I installed 'LCD Density Changer', so I uninstalled it with settings reset, but it still continues.
Anyone else have this problem?
My phone is stock 2.1 JI6.
Appreciate your help.

Today screen keeps fouling up

hi, constant problem here.
Anytime I adjust my today screen plugins (selecting, deselecting, removing) and I close the Today Settings window, I return to a scrambled up Today screen.
sometimes my plugins appear overlapping, sometimes they are all gone but for an empty gray window about a quarter of the screen in height. Sometimes they are gone, but the bottom of the screen is never cleared from windows I open.
Second Today works perfectly.
Any ideas what's wrong?
I have to soft reset, and often do a backup restore to return to normal, sometimes this takes an hour.
Help, please?
worse!
Now even soft reset doesn't help!!!!

Tracking a mystery lockup

I have had this issue forever. I have done a couple of hard resets for other reasons over the months and it stays.
I occasionally get a lockup. When I do, the phone acts alive, but the touch screen is dead. I am using the Today screen, not Sensui. The two soft keys at the bottom of the page are "Delete" and "Menu" instead of the normal "Calendar" and "Contacts". And they pull up the menus for the inbox.
So it acts as if I am in the inbox, instead of on the today screen. But I see a locked up oday screen.
And I believe it only happens if I use a photo as my today screen background. I don't think it happens with a plain background.
Has anyone else seen this?
This is a VZW device, with stock 6.5 rom. Using the today screen with Phonealarm and Pocketbreeze.
Have you installed Dynamic Resource Proxy and NoPushInternet? Those might help.
When you are "locked up", is there any way to get the touch to start working again? If your touch screen stops working completely and only a soft reset brings it back, it sounds more like a hardware issue.

[Q] Green screen meaning booting trouble

Hello,
I'm using my TP for two months and there were no serious problems with it since now. Today I was looking for some things by Opera browse, when - suddenly - SMS arrived [yeah, that sort of things happens]. Because of my ability to destroy everything connected [bad word..] with electricity, WM [original ROM, version 6.1] froze - after few minutes it was still insensitive to any touch [and button, including 'power off'], so I pulled out a battery and turned device on. And here starts the drama - Windows didn't want to boot, just showed green sreen with WM logo, part of start bar and stayed like this for long. Now, having some more resets done, it freezes on the green screen, not showing anything else.
Ok, I know that probably the best solution would be hard reset now [actually I guess, never did it before, don't even know where to get a 'new ROM' <- don't see it on included CD]. Of course, but I have some important data there! If there's any other way to do it, or - at least - to get back things from main memory [especially messages and contacts], please tell me how. I repeat once again: it's very important for me.
Thanks in advance,
m.

Black Screen Of Death

Hi all
Just wondered if anyone else has had a BSOD?
Brand new out the box, my Z5 connected and Google instantly downloaded my apps and contacts associated with my account from previous phone (Sammy Galaxy S4). This was OK, but it took a while and was about 70 apps. I rebooted after it was all done, of course, but occasionally I get this damn Black screen where everything is unresponsive (can't upload screenshot yet)
The only way to wake the phone up from this dark coma is to either reboot or switch user to guest then switch back again. Nothing else seems to work. Its probably one little app incompatibility but don't know how I'm going to find it except uninstalling 1 app at a time and testing the phone to see if it reoccurs. Could take ages to figure out.
Anyone suffering from this?
YES
Finally! Someone who seemingly has the same issue as I do!
It seems to happen most often when I hit the home button from snapchat, or some other camera app, but not always. Other details about my issue:
Screen goes black, but is clearly on. Status bar can still be dragged down, notifications can be pressed but do not respond. They can be dismissed.
Home screen, back, and recent apps buttons still respond, but do not do anything EXCEPT once in a while I can get it to go to just my background... no apps, icons, or anything else. At this point, the recent apps button disappears.
Prior to getting the black screen, my phone will not lock. It will turn off the screen when I press the power button, but when I press it again it is already unlocked.
Not sure what's up, or what I can do! Rebooting the phone helps for a little while, but I get it usually once or twice a day. It seems like it happens more on weekends, but that could just be confirmation bias since I used it more.
:crying:
Hmmm...
for me it doesn't seem to be triggered by anything - it just happens. (I don't have snapchat installed)
I've uploaded the screenshot as my profile image, so you can see the back triangle is the only thing that is not blacked out, that and the very top (battery/clock,signal, etc). If I tap the screen bottom right where the square is instead of seeing a list of recent apps the screen will flicker as if the list is scrolling up the screen but it all stays dark. I'm thinking of factory reset then reinstall everything. A PIA but as I have unlimited data it's no biggy.
Thanks for replying, Vargasm, and good luck with solving it. If you find anything out post back!
I have the same issue on my Z5 premium. There is no solution except reboot it. T^T
i have the same problem here. Phone is only a week old and totally stock. Have heard it may be due to a screen protector if you use one. I am loathe to remove mine though.

Flashing crash notification, can't read

Hi guys,
this morning i have a strange issue on my oneplus 7. The screen turned off, then it won't turn on again, the only thing on the screen was a little "pixel" flashing at the top center of the screen. I keept the power button pressed to turn off the phone, and after a bunch of seconds the screen turned back on (the phone was still on).
After that, i frequently see a flashing window that looks like a crash notification for some app, but it is so fast that i can not read what is related on... This window keeps popping out every few minutes (or seconds) but the phone seems working as alwatys. I've tried rebooting with no luck. There's no way to see some kind of log to check what app is crashing? The phone is consuming a lot of battery now (30% in the last 2h) and looks like Google Play Services has used almost 25% of battery.
