Not sure if this is a kernel or ROM problem but its driving me nuts! lol - Thunderbolt General

Can't figure out why my phone is all of a sudden extremely laggy whenever i wake up the phone. I'm running liquids latest nonsense rom and zooms 1.0.3 kernel. Its so bad I almost want to go back to stock. Whenever I wake most of the time it will wake up and go right back to sleep. then when i can keep it awake it won't catch my input on the pattern pw lock and when it does catch it sometimes won't let me finish my pattern. i can't even answer the phone right away when its sleeping. I have to constantly swipe over and over until it finally goes. anyone experience this? could it be that im min is too low or i'm on smartassv2?

Are you over/under clocking?
Are you using an app like SetCPU and have profiles for when your screen is off? (if this is the case, try settings the min a little higher for when the screen is off)

Run fix permissions twice then reeboot.....

tried setting min higher but didn't work. i was using stock speed. Ended up being the kernel as I flashed another kernel and all is well now.

question about black screen of death

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

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.

[Q] Screen goes black when unlock

When I unlock my phone (as in push the unlock button) the screen remains black but lightly lit. The bottom four buttons remains lit when the screen is touched. Currently I'm using Eaglesblood 1.5 Rom with latest Trinity 1.1 GHz. I tried using the latest CM7 Kangs and the stable 201 rom with both trinity and faux with and with out overclock and the same thing still happens. Even with a clean wipe it still happens. Currently I have Juicedefender, AdAway, KeyboardManager Launcher, Go Launcher (have used ADW and ADW Ex) running. I have advanced task killer as well but it's not set to autokill.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to remedy this problem? If not i'm stuck with the usual battery pull each time the screen goes black. Also I don't think it's a sleep of death because the phone is not frozen as the touchscreen and side buttons are responsive. It should also be noted that the battery is NOT hot when the screen is black.
Also, I'm using an overclock widget that's set to 432000-1100000 screen on, and 432000-750000 screen off. I have tried varying the frequencies too. Should I change my values?
Try uninstalling juice defender. I had issues with a similar app.

Overclocking can be handy, but if you set it too high or overclock your phone too much, it could damage the phone itself. I uninstalled my "SetCPU" once I learned that. However, it could just be that there is a hardware fault within the phone that is causing the screen to be black. Maybe the LCD or backlight?
Happens to me too sometimes on both weapon and cm7.2.
I just do a battery pull and hopefully it doesn't happen soon again.
Uninstalling juicedfender seemed to have fixed it for me thanks so much!

screen lights up randomly

Hi all. Since updating to 2.3.5 my screen randomly lights up. The phone will be just sitting on the table, next to bed etc and the screen will light up for a few seconds and the turn off.
Not been on a stock ROM in a while, but I do remember hearing about this problem when the update rolled out. Just can’t remember if the problem was solved. Had a quick search and no joy. I'll keep looking. I have a theory though...
I had this problem once, and it was down to an app and the WiFi sleep policy. The WiFi sleep policy was set to ’15 minutes’ so the app was occasionally forcing a wake-lock to stop the WiFi from shutting off. This would also cause the screen to come on briefly. Could it be something like that? Sorry I can’t remember what the app was. Try leaving WiFi off and see if that stops it. If not successful try leaving auto-sync off. It will at least rule out or confirm something trying to force a wake-lock to sync something.
Edit: Does this do it only when on charge? Try opening up Car Dock Mode, and turning off 'Auto Launch'.

I noticed this too, but only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...Endymion (because, frankly, i didn't care much about any other Sense ROM to stay on it long enough to notice anything) ...but for me, the screen only lit up like a camera flash, just for a fraction of a second! not for a couple of seonds as you have experienced. Been on ICS betas, and RCs and currently on Reaper, but this issue never repeated itself. So far, this has happened to me only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...and my setup, sync frequency, installed apps hardly ever varies from ROM to ROM...I'm pretty consistent about how i like to use my phone.
And frankly, even when this was happening, i didn't bother much because it wasn't affecting performance or battery life... Sense is quirky, to say the least, but i've learnt to tolerate it like you would a sexy girlfriend. If it's sexy enough, it can get away with anything!!
I had this issue on the stock 2.3.3 ROM.

I had the same issue but just one time few minutes after i pluged my phone .
Same here with MIUI... Just for a 1/10 of a second...

I get this on ICS (virtuos quattro) when screen is off and charging, like half a second on and off again...
i've had this issue with pretty much every ROM, actually had it since i've had the phone. The phone lights up for a quick second. Enough for you to realise when your eyes are closed. i don't pay much attention to it anymore. But i don't think mine lasts seconds like yours. Mine was just a blank screen flashing

Don't know what's happening..

I'm charging my device, now whenever the screen turns off Boom phone gets SUPER SUPER HOT, but battery is not.
And SOD while the camera part is very hot.
Any solution? :|
That used to happen with me. Try flashing a different kernel. It fixed it for me

You set it to stay awake?
Uh. The screen is turned off while charging.
This is the first time I got SOD and the phone getting super hot to touch by hand.
Seems like my my CPU is going out of control or something..
..
Idk but I put my phone on top of an ice pack and no more SOD... Funny.
/thread
Yeah man this happens once in a while... The G2x is retarded like that. For me I'd just take the battery out and leave it for a good 10 minutes, fixed it every time. I guess you can change the kernel but either way a simple reboot and taking the battery out fixes it.
Happens randomly.
Ya try a diff Kernel, are you using the stock one that cam with the rom?

Under settings set the screen to stay awake while charging and don't lock the screen, just let it dim.

This works really well. What I do is open up clock and hit the dim button on top right. This will help with SOD and not keep you up by the bright screen.

App for locking the screen brightness?

Hashcode and twa_priv both have great ROM's out now, that work wonders with the battery drain in standby. One of my kids gets -15 or less drain when in deep sleep now. Amazing.
But my other daughter, hers keeps spiking up over -120 and higher while using the same rom. I saw that the screen brightness cant be set to 100 or the screen doesn't fully shut off, and that is exactly what is happening. I can still see a dim backlight sometimes when turned off.
I keep changing it to a lower setting, and then she gets great battery life for a while, then something is changing the screen brightness back to 100. She isnt doing it, because I grounded her from it for a couple days, and it still did it when she wasn't even playing. So I wiped everything, clean installed the 01/08 rom fresh today, and it still does it.
Is there an app that will lock the brightness for me? I cant seem to find one.
Thanks!
I had that same issue on my KF repeatedly and found that it was from build.prop changes. Switched to Paranoid Android and the in notification brightness slider has been perfect and the screen off/on issue never came back.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
Once I studied this Kindle closer, you could see the screen backlight come on for a few seconds, then back to sleep, then back on, and back to sleep. A clean install of the latest rom from twa_priv seems to have fixed the problem, he reverted some kernal changes that were causing problems for some users.
Funny that you are in Eustis, I live there and in Mt. Dora for a while, back around 1988 to maybe 1993. I am in Ocala now.
