anybody else having this issue? Happens atleast once a week, requires removing the battery to reset it..
I have seen this issue posted on other phones, but not on the MT4GS
Did you recently flash the new radio....if so revert back because it was proved that the new radio was unstable without a specific kernel
Total stock rom... I did upgrade to latest sw this week. I will see if it continues
the stock software does seem to have that glitch, where the home screen will have nothing but your wallpaper... apps and widgets will be missing. i had that once on the new update, but i rebooted and it hasn't happened again.
Mine just did sleep if death because I have it OC'D to 1.7

Everything was fine for awhile...I used to flash many roms and never had this issue. I thought it might have been one rom but then realized that it happened with a few roms...didn't matter which one I flashed. The screen will freeze or the phone will freeze while charging and I need to do a battery pull to get it up again. Does anyone have any clue why this is suddenly happing to me?
My wifes does this

Hmmm. Are you overclocked? If so, you may want to dial it back a notch.
You could try a fresh flash and wipe as well.

No I am not overclocked. Happened using Synergy and Gingeritis when it wasn't happening before. I had no issues doing normal setting in speedtweak.sh with interactivex but now even with that it's happening.

these "hard locks" seem to be related mostly to the GB roms. either the kernel or radio is giving issues. i dont remember having this issue on froyo. I am using the latest synergy nightlys and i can't remember the last time i had one of those hard locks. been a while. am using ziggys kernel and mr2 radio.
Idk if anybody has really had this happen ever on their android phone. Sometimes the color of my screen will be pink. Now just a while ago it was blue. Like everything is blue. Is this water damage or what?

I never had that issue with mine.
Though, I did have the phantom line at the bottom of the screen when I was running MIUI.

It happens to mine from time to time....first pink a couple of times then blue...freaked out when I first saw it but if I change screen brightness it goes away...doesn't matter what ROM...
Someone posting about this a week or so ago and he said he was unrooted stock....
Btw: I took a screen shot thinking it would come out and I'd post a pic here but the screen was perfect....

Mine did this when I started using MIUI, until then I never had this problem. Just turning the screen on and off seemed to fix it but I'm curious as to if it's actually hardware or something in the ROM. My infuse isn't that old.
Yeah, it's happened to me about 3 times, 2 yellow, one BRIGHT purple.
It only happens on full brightness too, as soon as you touch the brightness meter, it goes away.
Note to self, set brightness just a notch below full.

Noticed with my Captivate I had this issue with some roms when I was on CM7 and DG. When I would do a update it would go away.
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.

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.

My phone sometime the lower portion becomes unresponsive and sometimes when in an app I can no longer scroll down it only allows scrolling left and right: even in apps like Gmail.
I'm using stock ROM, I'm tested the issue with several kernels but no result. The problem gods away when I lock the screen and unlock I again.

Flash a different kernel. Glados, Matrix, Franco or stock.
Is this issue confirmed on everyone's device? I feel like calling up Samsung if it is indeed a hardware issue.

Same issue while on stock GB and ICS, stock kernel. Problem goes away when screen is locked.
On average it bugs me a few times a week when I'm typing. Might have happened many more times, but as locking the screen clears the problem away, it could have gone undetected.
Weird never experienced on my nexus s i've tried GB .. ICS and a whole bunch of ROM+ KERNEL combination my screen works perfect maybe it's only affecting a particular bunch of hand sets .. idk? :/
it happens to me every now and then, usually while typing. generally i have to turn it off completely to fix it, which really sucks.
GB 2.3.7 and whatever the last GB matrix kernal. nothing running over or under.
Ya I have the same issue but for be it only happens when I plug in a USB or auxiliary cable ..oddly not my headphones (klipsch s4)
I've been debating calling into Samsung but haven't had time! Has anyone had luck!?
Edit: I'm running stock 2.3.6 i9020a

I have been having this problem on this phone with all the custom roms. I tried different combinations of roms and kernels and still no luck. I'm on EB ics. The phone wakes up fine while the charger is connected but if it sleeps while on battery it wakes up to a stuck/frozen screen. I really dont know what is going on.

When you say stuck/frozen screen do you mean an image appears but is frozen or that the phone is frozen and won't show anything? The new EB rom has had some freezing issues when it's come to being used. Also the phone is know to have screen of death issues caused by overheating

Yeah it shows the lock screen but its frozen only the buttons glow. I dont think this is an overheating issue because it does this within minutes of booting up. I notice that when I have music playing it doesnt freeze when I wake it up.

Try giving it more voltage (not all chips are made the same) or setting the minimum frequency to the next highest. 316 MHz on mine using Faux's kernel, but it depends on what you're using.
