I recently flashed the superlite-5.0 ics rom onto my phone and I've noticed that no matter what screen timeout I set, the screen does not turn off unless I press the power button. This is obviously a big issue for me because if the screen doesn't turn off, the battery gets sucked dry.
I've tried removing the battery and rebooting, but to no avail. Any suggestions to fix this problem?
Fixed it! Pulled battery, boot to CMW, wiped cache partition x 2, wiped dalvik x 2, fixed permissions x 2.

Worked for me too. Had the same problem after flashing Smooth ICE
Also fixed my reboot/shutdown freezeup.

Currently running CyberGR v3 ICS rom and noticed a weird behavior on my phone.
Search button keeps flickering by itself opening the 'Complete actions with' option on the screen. It keeps happening until screen is completely unresponsive and I have to lock/unlock the phone for it to work. Eventually it would happen again.
I have cleared cache, dalvik, factory reset, fixing permissions, re-applied rom from scratch (full format of system, data, cache, boot) and even changed the kernel from original GLADOS 2.7 to Matrix 14.0 (have not tried the latest ones).
Any ideas on why this happens? Hopefully I can resolve this since I really like this ROM.....heeeelp
Update: I got the issue resolved by flashing the lastest Radio I9020AUCKF1.
I was running SkyICS ROM 4.2E6.
Great ROM, liked it a lot.
I then installed the KOB4LT theme. Upon my first shutdown, I noticed it was freezing. Just a blank screen and the haptic buttons were lit up.
I did the usual, cleared cache, davlik, removed battery a few minutes, fixed permissions, etc. Nothing helped.
So I reinstalled the most recent update patch from SkyICS and that didn't fix it either. So I wiped the phone and installed the RIII base and E7 of SkyICS (very latest).
Again I loved things for a few days.
But then I used ROM Toolbox to do a little customization.
Then I installed a few live wallpapers from the Market.
And got some spam infestation as a result.
So I wiped the phone and restored from a day old Nandroid backup.
And voila... the shutdown issue is back.
So I wiped the phone again and restored a two-day old Nandroid.
And again I have the shutdown issue.
Any ideas for me to try? I spent a lot of time getting that ROM just the way I wanted and don't want to have to reflash a new ROM all over again.
Fixed it.
1) Wiped phone (again).
2) Flashed the original UCLD2 ICS leak (I727UCLE2_OneClick).
3) Flashed recovery.
4) Installed 5.5.0.4 (?) touch recovery.
5) Wiped phone.
6) Restored from backup.
7) Rebooted w/out any problem.
Thanks, I was having the same problem today and this fixed it.
Im really hoping someone can help me please...
ever since viper 1.6.x sometimes my phone will shut down, or if my phone battery runs completely dead of battery, and then when i try and turn the phone on again it will go into a boot loop where is gets stuck on the senasation splash screen...
can someone tell me why this is happening and how i can turn my phone back on after this happens...?
info
i am on vipers had this problem since 1.5.x - 1.6.x with multiple kernels, but the last kernel i was on when this happen was faux 10b9
this most often happens when the battery run completely dead, but has occasionally happened on a random reboot swell
things i have tried...
pulled battery...
clearing dalvik and cache - this will get me past the splash screen once, to the android is upgrading page (as i have cleared dalvik and cache) only to reboot at the end and finally get stuck on the htc sensation splash screen again
formated system
installed the rom again with the restore option (the last of the 3 options stating to use it if you have a corrupt operating system)
reflash the kernel
install same rom without wiping
the only thing i know i can do and that ail work is going back and restore an old backup via 4EXT but i no longer have any back ups (dont ask why i did this! i thought it was working now!)
is my only option a full format?
why is this happening?
anyone know a way around it?
does this mean i can never go back to ViperS as i will always have this problem or is the problem from somewhere else??
thanks so much in advance...
i suggest to format all partitions except sdcard
flash viperS rom
see then if your issue exists
otherwise try different rom
also if you are S-ON enable smartflash from 4ext before flashing the rom
I've been having spontanious reboot problems where my charge would reboot and get stuck in a boot loop freezing on the droid eye animation and rebooting. In the past I've been able to clear the delvic cache and regular cache and get the phone to boot and go back to working order. Today however, clearing cache didn't work. Thinking this was a software problem, I connected the phone to oden and flashed the stock software ED1. I was planning to install back to EP5 and redo Tweaked 3.2 since the phone had developed a lot of lag.
Now the phone gets to the droid eyebll and stays there. Every so often the animation freezes for a second or two then continues. Is the phone dead? Can it be brought back to life so that I can use it while I figure out a new phone. I'm asking because this is my only smartphone and I'm now stuck activating my old chocolate flip

Why all the way back to ED1? Do you have everything backed up in case you need to flash with the pit file?

No, the phone is not dead, it is a bit lag.
This problem started when i was using cyanogenmod 11 and flashed elemental x. I didn't like elemental x as it made my phone hot and drained battery, i then restored my phone to stock ROM with my nandroid backup with twrp. After 5 minutes of usage it rebooted when i dialled a phone number after that my wifi would not turn on. I have tried everything to fix this issue. The Things i have tried:
1) Flashing a custom ROM and kernel
2) Flashing the Factory Image
3) Flashing paranoid ROM
4) Factory resetting
5) Deleting the WiFi file from data/misc/WiFi
6) Shaking my phone violently
7) Tapping my phone hard at the back
How did you go about flashing the factory image?
Flashing stock properly should eliminate any software issues. So if it's flashed successfully, that usually leaves hardware as the issue.
Have you tried turning it off and on?
I know it sounds stupid but sometimes it just needs to breathe.
Have you cleared the caches?
