several times i've woken up to find my phone in this state after being left on the charger. it won't respond at all and i have to do a battery pull. it's happened across various roms and kernels.
on a related note my capacitive buttons light up at random times. a quick search led me to believe that it's normal, but that seems strange to me.
anyone else encountered things like this?

this was happening to me before with a different rom, but never happened with Nexus MV rom. you should try it if you didn't.

I think this problem is about the new kernels or the new CM7.1. I don't know but I have the same problem since CM7.1 stable.
Same problem here, has happened a few times and made me miss my alarm clock a few times as well.
Running NSCollab so it might be because of Cyanogenmod. However I'm running Apocalypse Talon kernel now and haven't had the issue these past days, so I can't exclude whether it's the kernel or the ROM, or something else...
I'll remember to pull a logcat next time.

[Q] This auto-dim "bug" is completely unacceptable...and is driving me beserk
Basically, if I turn autodim off and turn the brightness up over 50%, the screen shuts off and when I press power to wake, flashes for 1/10 of a second and then turns off. The only way I can use my tablet with brightness over 50% is when it is plugged in.
How has this not been fixed yet? It's got to be a software issue right? This is completely and totally ridiculous.

I don't have this problem. I use it at 75-100% most of the time on battery.
I have zero idea what it could possibly be. I'm on the verge of returning and just washing my hands of this thing. It's a shame because the Galaxy Tab will definitely be at a higher price point.
exchange it. Something is wrong. No one else is reporting this issue. I've had my ft stock, running Paul's rom and prime, and all the different kernels. No such problem. Sounds like a hardware fault.

This.
I get that people can get frustrated when something's wrong but the store should always be the first point of call if you've got a problem. If you get it exchanged and it still has an issue, THEN you get to post about it and complain. Even so, at least post in the right forum...
I have this problem and I've seen 2-3 other people with it, so its not that common by the looks of it. I tried to find a solution but I am RMAing mine as there isnt a fix at the moment.

tryed to mimic the issue here and it does not have that issue, its gotta be a bad unit. these things happen , it just sucks when it happens to u
usually you will get the black screen of death when:
-after a phone call
-during/after charging
-when hitting the power button to turn off or turn on your screen.
do you think that the gingerbread launcher is causing this problem?
Ive read on other forums on different phones that the launchers were causing the same problems on their phone as well and when they switched launchers, it all stopped.
is this a reasonable explanation?
Nope. It happens to my wife on GO Launcher as well.

Only SOD I ever come across is the call SOD. That happens when running Trinity kernel on CM7 or CM7 based roms. Morfics updated Trinity kernel I assume has fixed the SOD as I haven't come across it while running CM7's nightly 199.

This is when your phone goes on permanent "sleep" as in your screen wont turn on. Only way to turn it on is to do a batt pull and reboot.

i use 2.3.7 eaglesblood running the trinity kernal and knocn on wood no problems at all. Hope i dont get that phone disease.
The kernel is the problem. I've said it a million times. Its why CM7 based roms don't do this and those with custom kernels. My Asus transformer did this (tegra 2) until a custom kernel came out.
Change the kernel and fix the SoD.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
Black Screen of death
I recently flashed EB 2.3.7 / 2.5 (runs amazing by the way) but have one small issue. When charging my phone at night it goes into perm. sleep mode for the last 3 nights. My wake up call never goes off . I read somewhere it may be kernel related, so I flashed faux .46 hoping that would resolved sleep issue. It has not, anyone else have any insight?
Thanks.
That happens sometimes or stock ROM.

Hold the power button down for a long time. After about 30-45 seconds, something will usually happen. Sometimes the home screen will flash on for a second and then go black again, sometimes the home screen will come on but will be in a frozen state and won't accept input, and sometimes the screen will come back on normal. This will allow you to avoid a battery pull maybe a quarter to a third of the time you get an SOD.
Ive had my nexus s for 2 weeks, flashed cm7 stable and latest nighly. With both distributions of android Ive had this problem where my phone, about once a week goes into a "coma"
It dosent wake up from sleep and shows a single white pixel lit up in the middle of the screen. I take out the battery and reset it and then it works.
Anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks!!
Mine won't come out of sleep once in awhile. I don't get the white pixel though. I have chalked it up to flaky kernels or poor Samsung hardware as it never happened with my EVO Shift. I haven't run completely stock long enough to know whether it would happen in stock or not though and it is infrequent enough that I don't care. If I remember to reboot once in awhile the problems goes away.
OK now I know there isn't a Ghost in my phone but at times my phone behaves like its possessed. The problem is with the touch screen. At times my phones starts to do stuff on its own. Like open random apps, bring down the notification bar and then brings it back up. Once it even opened my whatsapp and then opened the keyboard and typed a message and sent it to an contact. And during this time it doesn't really respond to my touches. But it happens very rarely like ones in two days and that too for a min or two. Been happening for a two weeks now. I have the latest CM 7 Nightly installed. So what do u reckon is happening? Is it a software bug or an Hardware bug? And how do I fix it?

I had the same problem. LG Service Center said, that they need to change the touchscreen. Try to flash another ROM, if you get the same problem, then unroot and flash stock firmware and go to LG Service Center or change the screen yourself
But I hope it's your ROM, good luck!
on my sgs i have this weird ghost while charging.. are you running ics?

Change your kernel, these may be kernel panicks.

This could be a reason cause it all began when I flashed DJNoXD's Kernel 2.5.2. But then I re flashed the latest CM 7 nightly over it and it continued to show the symptom's. Also I did not over clock, never did.
Today when it showed the same possessed behavior, I pressed the power button and it at once came back to my control. So I guess its a temporary solution to it.

It never happened during charging.
Found the Culprit
It was being caused by a pair of external speakers, which has it own power source, which I connected to the phone. I am guessing the speaker was sending some kind of charge to the phone. When I connected the speaker, the touchscreen completely stopped working. and even after I disconnected the speaker the touchscreen would continue to behave the way I described in my first post. Probably stored that charge somewhere. Bottom line, now that I have stopped connecting the speakers its stopped that behavior. There case solved. Feel like Scooby Doo. There was no Ghost after all.
Lolzz..
I have touch screen issues and I'm not sure if it is Hardware related or software.
I will be using my tablet and all of a sudden I lose 90% of control. Basically, I can't touch anything. I know most would say that hardware but, I cycle the power button (Not turning tablet off just screen off screen on) and touch comes back.
I noticed this issues when ICS just came out for our tablets and we were getting major RR and SOD.
Any one else experienced this or am I the only crazy person that this happen to.
Thanks in advance.
Ps. If you have experienced this please post solution.

It sounds like you may be on a different ROM then stock. I would recommend a couple of things. First back your system up, and do a clean install. Clear all cache and go. If your on a non stock ROM, then It would probably be a good idea to visit the thread of that ROM and see what they have had come up about the issue.

That is correct I am on Non- stock rom. Guess I should have said that. Should i go all the way back to original rom (HC) then up grade to ICS(stock)?
I have tried multiple custom roms but they all seem to do the same thing. Me being a comp. tech. the way I can restore touch by power cycling makes me think it is software.

I have had it before but very rare, power tap the power to turn off the screen then tap it again and it all comes back?
It is so rare I just live with it.
Probably been the most stable on eos3 81 with kat 69 kernel

From you response, this is why I am thinking this is related to software. I do not have the proper knowledge to research but I am asking help from a knowledgeable person.
I screen losses touch regularly now. it is taking away from my experience. Are there any drivers particularly for the screen input that can be updated or downgraded to a known working version.
Thanks for not making me fell like I am the only crazy person!
