Black Call Screen And Camera Won't Launch

When making a phone call on this phone the screen will become black ( assuming from the proximity sensors like normal ) but it won't get off the black screen unless i slide up the keyboard or reboot phone.
Also camera will randomly not open and just keep closing when i try to launch it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hey tylermaciaszek, good to see you here with this phone, haha. What ROM are you running, have you rooted yet? I haven't experienced either of those bugs, or even heard of anyone having them I don't think. Is your phone brand new?

I'm not actually with the phone its my friend just trying to get him some help
Back story: had my touch 4g and it broke T-Mobile guy said he would give my friend mytouch 4g slide so he took it for the dual core and the first phone had the problem took it back now this is his 4th one with the same problem
He said he had a software update don't know if there's a software problem or not
Thanks for help!

The problem is not software, so the OTA update isn't his problem. You've got an unlucky friend, I guess. He's going to have to get an exchange.

I agree. Very strange he has had this problem, and more so that its multiple times.

I had the same problem. I hit the camera button and screen went black and also had it happen with the power button on the stock rom.
I pulled the battery and rebooted.
Haven't had that problem with any custom roms.

Phone broke?

My 4 buttons and track pad on the front of the phone don't seem to respond anymore.....thought it might be the rom but I reflashed clean install and still didn't work....I even switched roms and nothing. The only time they respond is when I slide the keyboard about half way to where u can only see the bottom letters of the keyboard, they work perfect at that point...any ideas for a fix or anywhere I could get them fixed?
I do believe I have insurance with asursion or whatever they are called but I don't want to get the new hboot....right now I have s-off and everything. What are the chances they send me a completely different phone but something on par with its specs....like a sensation or sgs2 or something in that sense?

is it by doing the wire trick? Or what's the method now? I used revolutionary to root this phone and yes this is my 1st problem.

This sounds like a hardware problem. The fact that you can get the buttons to work at all is encouraging. This phone has a fairly elaborate flex cable that connects those buttons and various other things together. You can get replacement flex cables (eBay for $35-40), but taking this phone apart is quite a *****. Unless you are experienced at working on hardware on phones, you probably don't want to even try it. There are 3rd party services that do this kind of repair, but most I've seen seem pretty expensive.

Yeah, the wire trick using Juopunutbear S-OFF method. Like strapped said you just gotta be careful, as with everything else.

Have you tried flashing it with amother firmware? I suggest you should bring it to the service center so they can take a look. By tge looks of it, it may be a harware problem.

yeahh,,i've already flashed all firmware available(stock/dev)..but still not solving my problems...do you think this might be error from system or hardware?if hardware, i will change my digitizer......

It's definitley a hardware fault. Just to make sure, bring it to the service center to have it checked. Yours have the same symptom as my sister's phone.

This had happened with my previous phone - moto milestone. Replaced screen twice, and the problem happened again. Sold it off and bought my i9003.
I think it is due to electrostatic charge building up on your body that affects the electronics. That is my (unproven, unscientific) theory.
I'd recommended you get it fixed and immediately exchange it at your dealership for another phone. Peace of mind that way.

You are charging when happens? I had the same isse, with a faulty/fake/cheap AC charger.

Crazy Backbutton

Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint
Hit the thanks button if i helped

Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

http://stellatech.com/samsung-gt-i9020-nexus-s-ui-flex,a,en,810423.html
Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.

Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..

I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved

I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:

Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.

Auto-touch issues with my device

Hello guys ..I m going through auto touches many a time..
Firstly I used to think that I m the only one who is going with this problem .But,in recent time many of my friends using Explorer had reported me the same ..
What it actually happen..
The screen gets tabbed automatically.Although,you won't touch any where ..
Examples:The screen gets zoom in/zoom out when your on browsering something
If u are on fb app,it likes the automatically without you hitting the like button
& many other time
& if u wanna get to it normal ,just press the power button on/off
It becomes normal
If u feel its a Rom bug,then it happened with almost all Rom based on gb/cm9/cm9.1
No help from service center guys too..
Can anyone please help me out
Thanks!:thumbup:

Maybe some kind of a virus, or app? Try with factory reset and format memory card(whole card) or take it out for a day or two, while testing.

Have you ever dropped a drop of water on g-sensor of your phone, or use it while taking bath etc.. maybe it is causing auto touch..

I had this issue too .... (Changed my Pico) .. it was happening only while charging or when the mobile data was on. I had searched a lot... It's not only Pico. Other HTC phones have this issue too. It's device specific.. no ROM change gonna help.. happened to me on stock.. thought root and change ROM will help solve it.. rooted, changed so many ROMs. I found no solution except lock/unlock the phone.. one day got a good deal and sold my Pico.. bought another one.. this one has updated radio (1.80.18.80) and hboot version (1.07.0000).. this one doesn't have this problem.. using from about a month and half.. nothing like that happened and not gonna happen.. (I'm sure)..
I'll suggest changing Your charger's adopter ...
Update radio and hboot too if you can.. I've the RUU for 1.07 hboot and 1.80.18.80 radio.. (someone had posted it on facebook.. forgot the link and can't upload on mobile network, so please don't ask for.. just search.. was on google docs)...
Hope it will help.... Specially the adopter change.. may be..
