Screen freeze on wake

I recently flashed weapon g2x rom. Everything was cool til I woke my phone and tried unlocking it but the screen was unresponsive. I do a battery pull phone starts up up and screen is fine. Screen goes to sleep so I wake it up and try sliding to unlock but its unresponsive. Please help. BTW I am not putting any blame on weapon rom Dev team.

Did you properly wipe before you flashed the ROM? Is this happening on a clean install? (No apps)?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Followed the install instructions verbatim. BTW I was stock GB before flashing. Happened before I dloaded any apps. Now it freezes when making calls. When I take the phone away from mg ear the screen is unresponsive.

You might have a defective device. Does it tend to get hot whenever it locks up? How long have you had this issue for?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Flashed the rom 3 days ago and issue started today. Had this phone for 3 months. Doesn't get hot or even noticeably warm. I got the go locker app with ics lockscreen. After i wake it up its unresponsive for about 30 seconds then the backlight dims and becomes responsive again. Weird. Maybe restore back to froyo(nandroid)? Thanks for your replies.

Try reformatting your phone, then flash again

Reformat? You mean wipe everything? Through cwm?

Yep that is what he means. If you were on Froyo you may need to do the update and get the current Baseband.

Okay I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks guys

Hey this may sound silly but if it's only the lockscreen not responding and you stating you are using the ics lockscreen, did you try with the default lockscreen to rule that out first?

Not silly at all. I tried the original lockscreen that came with weapon rom. I would wake the phone with no response but with go locker LS the screen responds after 30 seconds of unresponsiveness. Its weird but I don't think its a hardware issue. I'll post back after I restore back to Froyo. Thanks again guys
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yeah i agree, don't think it's a hardware issue. Restoring back or trying another rom would be a good test. Another question..are you using setcpu or any other app with a screen off profile?
Edit: Went back to read all the symptoms again and i had a similar situation and it was because my phone could not handle the lower voltages on the min freq with a few kernels. Morfic upped the lower freq voltage on his kernel and it has been working perfectly since. Worth a try.
Try this one: ELPmax 20122011 (1.1GHz Battery Saver w/ voodoo sound)

Tried flashing kernel and phone froze on Trinity load screen. Restored to nandroid but no luck. Updated to stock GB but no luck. I'm starting to think might be a problem with proximity/ light sensor cause of how the phone freezes up after I pull the phone away from my face after a call. Guess I'll send it to Texas for warranty repair.
Thanks to those that tried helping.

Did you format the "system" before flashing the new rom? Weapon works with no issues for me. I would stay away from custom kernels for now, until you have isolated the issue.
I would suggest backing up your user apps using titanium backup and installing them one by one to find the issue. Let the phone run a while between installing each app. Maybe even reboot each time. Also try fix permissions.
I know nothing about Go Locker, but is sounds like that is a good place to start.

idk..I'm wondering if this is the rainbow effect encountered when you are running a gb (2.3) based rom without the GB bootloaders.
possible solution: flash gb bl from dani's post. flash to a stock gb leak before flashing a custom rom - uckj4 or above should have bl included

Fwiw,
I went from stock > s7 (port) > gsinfuse (port) > galnet miui ics (port) > zeus with a few odins after s7 and one right before zeus....never heard about bls until these past weeks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

its weird that a lot of us are having this problem, but it hadnt really been brought to attention yet

fwiw,
I have tried stock leaks, victory, darky's, gsinfuse, numas, caty, bionix, and zeus...couldn't remember a few more.
I've soft bricked and boot looped a few times.
I heimdalled back to uckj4 stock and go from there.
I've not seen the colors that you have mentioned.
I've not use miui.
I usually try to wipe everything and factory reset a few times as well.
I don't usually back up any roms, kernels or nandroids.
I have backed up some apps with tibu..but restore only the app..not the data.
idk but i suspect the colors you see may be related to "unclean" flash on top of old ones or bl issue...but that is just my 2 cents...
If when you do flash a new rom, consider wiping everything and heimdall or odin a later leak before going to a new rom.

I have had this happen to me on many roms.

Does it persist until you lock/unlock screen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

This has happened to me even on stock 2.2 when I first got the phone. Its not critical. Because as mentioned, all you have to do is hit the power button to shut the screen off. When it comes back on its fine. But it is really strange..

Yeah. Today was my first time seeing a green screen lol. So far I've seen the blue, red-pinkish, and now green screen.
Sent from my SGH-I997

Yep, I've seen it too. I just flip the screen off and on again. Not a big issue I guess, just kinda amusing.

I freaking love this.. sometimes it happens 5 times in a row. I tried taking a screenshot once when it was this BA looking black and red but it came out normal.. so I was look whatever. It's not a big deal and it doesn't happen that often. Tried almost every rom other there, and I'm pretty sure that it has happened on every one.. atleast once.

I have noticed this happen on 2.3.6 based ROMs. Our devs are already looking into this. They'll update us whenever they have any update.

Yeah it nvr lasts longer then that. That's was my first instinct to turn it off and on and it always goes away. So i have never tried to unlock the phone to see how long it stays like that. Yeah i never posted anything or cared to look up anything because it only happens once and a great while and always goes right away.

Skyrocket screen staying completely black?

Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

First 2 words of my post "completely stock". No roms, kernals, or flash. Just straight out of the box phone with 2.3.6 update through att

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.

This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.

if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone

This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this

Thanks dman for ZEUS v6 of course i am waiting for new release
Last weekend installed Zeus v6 and I really liked it Maximum thanks.
Also Thanks qkster for helping me out. As i am very amateur user, didn't got so many problem with ZEUS v6 (I don't know is there any of them)
Some questions (installed Entropy kernel over Original Zeus infusion kernel)
1. when i start using my phone for normal calling, Temperature goes from 30 to 35 on gaming it goes to 43 is it OK?
2. Is it OK if i stay with entropy kernel of go back to Infusion GB?

Zeus has a lot of mods and tweak, that's the reason I include the infusion kernel.. never ran it with entropys kernel so idk ...plus I don't play games on my phone

Apps and widgets disappear
I just flashed Zeus 6 last night, and I absolutely love it so far.
I have an issue that I wanted to post in the development section, but I can't (not enough posts).
When I reboot the phone, some apps and widgets that I have on the different home screens disappear. Sometimes a page full of apps is copied to the next page, even over other apps or widgets. Any ideas how I can fix this? Tried reflashing, didn't help. Might just try that again, anyway.
Thanks dman, for such a great ROM. Keep up the great work!

I've had the exact same issue at times with Go Launcher EX on Zeus 6. I switched back to TW Launcher and haven't had that issue. Sucks cause I really like the look and options on Go Launcher EX. Icons kept disappearing and duplicating on mine anytime I did a reboot. Would love to see this issue fixed too.

Uninstall go and reinstall from the market. Fixed it on mine.

I'll give that a shot later. I downloaded the update after I was still having things disappear after I reflashed Zeus. Worth a try at least. Thanks!

What worked for me was enabling lag fix and a wipe*3 and reflash. Zeus 6 and r3v3l. both did this to me. Any ideas why dman? First rooms that I "had" to enable lag fix for.
You may get away just enabling lag fix. I'm just telling you what I did. I've asked dman and nun a few times but no answers.

Lagfix is always enabled by default on Zeus... so idk what you did to disable it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Yeah, I checked that lagfix was enabled when I did my reflash and it definitely was already enabled like dman said so the icons disappearing has to be caused by something else. Probably will mess around with uninstalling and reinstalling Go Launcher EX this evening. I'll report back with the results I see over the next few days.

It should, I had the same thing.

[Q] Rotate Lag

Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!

I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).

Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.

Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.

I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.

Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.

Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.
