I made a youtube video of my problem here:
youtube.com/watch?v=LL_kubZ4ENc
Have anybody else had this issue with their touchscreen? I have tried to factory reset the phone. Go back to stock rom lock the bootloader, and unroot. But the problem still appear. Also tried to clean the screen and only charge it with the original charger. Nothing helps I have tried to send questions to samsung but no answers.
Have anyone here had similar issues and found a fix?

I have the same issue, only the position is different. Have you worked out a solution? Or still waiting for it? Anyone?
Im on Miui with matrix cfs 5.5 (9023)

huh, if anyone have this problem... I really tried almost everything that came to my mind or sparetime, but installing a 2.3.5 based rom solved the problem even with miui it works just fine

I have this problem also, im on CM7 nightly. cant unlock the screen. Phones barely 3 days old

Had that same problem, and it's gone now. Don't know what did fix it, but I flashed new radio and Trinity kernel, and the problem is gone now...

I thought with the 2.3.5 the problem was solved, but its back now... dunno what it is, my phone is 2 weeks old.

I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock, not rooted or in any way modified Nexus S I9023 (SCLCD version) with Android 2.3.6
Also the settings button is right under the line (so the location is different from the video) and it is unresponsive as well.
Does anybody have any idea what to do about this???

[Q] Is anyone missing "hearing aid" option?

Have flashed my TMobile Sensation with LeeDroid and have lost "hearing aid" option. And another thing, I see some kind of a earpiece icon right next to my battery indicator. Never had it before flashing.
Anyone with the same issue??

Same here. But I'm on Android Revolution HD.

i never had hearing aid on my australian release sensation. I think hearing aid was a T-Mobile addition maybe?

I had the same damn problem! It happened when I flashed the rom, rebooted and flashed any other add-on. It bugged the **** out of me. I looked everywhere and couldnt disable the icon. So I had to wipe and re-flash the rom.
What I did to make sure it didnt happen again was flash the rom and then flash all your add-ons like wifi calling & battery mods before booting.
If you happen to find a way to get rid of the icon, please share how.

I have stock ROM, but I never had hearing aid option (unbranded)

I did full wipe before flashing rom, but icon is still there. It looks like it's enabled,but no option to turn it off. Hearing aid is/was a great option to boost week Sensation speaker.

I have the same issue. Posted the problem on "[ROM] Android Revolution HD" thread. We'll see if he has an answer...

same problem here...no idea why it is stuck on

[Q] Phone shuts down.

My phone shuts down all by it's self once or twice a day. It occurs on multiple roms. I really want to find out why. Can someone tell me how I can log wat happens?
Since I don't know when and why it shuts down I would likely need a logger wich writes to a log file so I can look back what the problem is.
I suspect it to be a hardware problem... (Don't hope so but it happens on multiple roms)
Thanks everybody

What kernels have been used with the roms?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

The used kernels were default kernels of the roms I used. Problem started wen using CM7 alpha. and now using Android Revolution with Faux123

You don't have it in any other ROM?

I had the same problem before, I changed my kernel to bricked 0.91 and the problems are gone now.

I'm downloading Insertcoin rom now. I'll report back if the problem still occurs.

Change kernels. Go from 1.5ghz to 1.2 via daemon controller or another CPU adjuster.
The bricked 0.91 also fixes most issues too as stated above

Before you suspect Hardware.. Check first your software.. I'f i were you, i'll back up all my roms.. full / super wipe, then check it on by one.. lets say IC for first 2 days then ARHD on the 3nd-4th day.. If it does not shut down, it only means one thing, its not HARDWARE, it can be software.. Check also your chosen Kernel on your flashed ROM.. there might be an incompatibility running multiple different roms and kernels..
hope i'd help.. click thanks if i enlighten you so far..

Okay, I'm back from a weekend away.
What I did before I went away (Friday afternoon) is:
- Reboot to Recovery
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data
- install zip: Super-wipe (just to be sure)
- Install zip: InsertCoin 3.3.0
- install zip: InsertCoin 3.3.1
It all went well until Saturday evening. It was off when I got it out of my pocket. i tried to turn it on and it booted up. If it is on there is no problem at all. It stays on all the time...... Until I unlock my sim with my personal code. 2 seconds atfter that the phone turns off...
Since the problem reoccurred I tried the following things:
- Wipe cache, reboot (problem still exists)
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, reboot (problem still exists)
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, reboot (problem still exists)
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, Super-Wipe, re-install rom, reboot (problem still exists)
Is there a way to test the hardware to rule it out? The problem occurred in three different roms and got worse. I really can't see how this could be a software problem.
I'm now going to download the latest stock rom and see what happens...

I had the same problem I'm on tmobile sensation 4g in the us and I think all us sensations have the problem... When I was using any rom that was based on the experimental sense 3.5 base my phone would turn off/crash I tried all different Roms but the problem still occured, I though about it and installed revolution hd with sense 3.0 and still on the old base and the problem is gone. I'm waiting for the official release of the new sense 3.5. Hope it helps

I had the problem on 3.5 and non 3.5 based roms. CM7, Android revolution XE, android revolution sense 3.5 and Insert Coin XE sense 3.5. The last one I mentioned was the worst and I even couldn't get past the security code.
I now installed a shipped Rom. Let's see what happens.
In my first post I asked if there was a log file in which I can see why it shuts down. can anyone shed a light on that?

I am having the same problems. I tried all of the same roms you have tried and as of last week I have decided to unroot my phone and return it to stock rom and recovery. after a week I am still getting the same random reboots. the only non stock part of my phone is that it is still S-Off, but I think im going to have to learn how to put stock S-On and go yell at the T-mobile guys to see if I can get a new phone.
If you can come up with anything better I would be willing to try it. the reboots are killing me.

This issue sucks. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has it though lol. I've also gone back to stock rom, no root/S-ON etc. Just to rule out the possibility that it's something funky going on with custom roms, kernels etc. So far I do still have random shutdowns, possibly a little less than I did before, but still there nonetheless. To get S-ON again, flash the RUU appropriate for your phone, then get into fastboot and type
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
and then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
More on all this is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201773
As far as logs to track down what is going on, I think it might be in lastkmsg. Unfortunately I don't know exactly where to find that or what to look for exactly.

And as stated twice before me, the problem still exists. I'm going to undo all changes to the Sensation and see what happens. If the problem is still there the phone will go back for warranty.
And again my old trustworthy HD2 saves the day as a backup...

I've never experience having a reboot with a super wipe then flashing a custom rom.. i do it almost everyday.. maybe its already a hardware since software installation (roms, and kernels) are clean when you do the flashing.. Has your phone experience some accidents? like fell on the ground?

Not that I know of.
I'm not new to flashing and I'm a real flashoholic. Nothing ever went wrong with flashing. Where other people would have problems with a certain ROM I could always enjoy the Rom without trouble.
I installed the eu version of the shipped roms. the problem seems to be different again. Nof it shuts down far less then before but I have to pull the battery to get it to boot up again.
I hope I have enough time today to S-on the phone. Does anybody know if the box states which version number it was shiped with? I know it's EU but there are different version numbers. (or is that not impotant)
Thanks for your help everybody.

I think the problem is the battery. I bought a new battery, the evo3d batery and so far I have not had this issue again.

Problem is solved. I got a free board swap and now everything is working again. So it was a hardware defect.
Thanks for the help all.

Help!

After deleting everything off my microsd card my status bar is gone and the background is black. How can I fix this?

What ROM are you running?

ARHD 6.5.4

Common problem, download and flash the new LeeDroid Tweaks and it will be fixed. I had to do it myself.

will report back

Is it this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501952

Yup, 3.0. Works great.

While I am rebooting may I ask how will flashing this fix my problem?

It's explained in the ARHD thread, many user's been experiencing it, I didn't read exactly how but it has something to do with some system file I assume.

Everything is back! But the problem that started this whole fiasco still persists. My wifi is stuck on 'Turnin Wi-fi on' or it says error

Odd. Trying going back into recovery and fix permissions.

When I was on ARHD 6.5.0 everything was fine and then it started happening so I decided to try Ords sense 4.0 rom but the problem was still there so I flashed 6.5.4 and its still here.

Hmm I'm not sure what could be the problem. Fixing permission's did not work?

Sorry I am not familiar with fixing permissions.

It's simple. Just boot in recovery, select Tools and you should see the option to Fix Permissions, click that and let it do its thing, usually takes a couple minutes, then reboot.

Didn't work ):

Weird. Are you running the recommended firmware and radio for the ROM?

Yes I am. I checked the thread and it seems people have been having wifi bugs. It seems there is a new firmware but I am confused with all the numbers. I do have 3.32.401.5. Gonna be flashing new one!

Yeah I'd do the same. Or reflashing the same firmware, maybe that will solve the problem. Good luck!

A black window box come out after flashing my SGS3 GT-I9300

After flashing my SGS3 GT-I9300 with a few custom rom, now I'm using Smart Phone Revolution 2.5. Suddenly this box came out and won't dissapear even after a few restarts. But whenever I open any app, it disappears and when I close that app, it appears again. I really need help. I've tried flashing with official stock 4.1.2 firmware, any other custom but it's still there. The internet and call function is working as usual, only this box is the problem. Help me guys!

IDK it looks as if your phone was in some kind of "servicing mode", or something. Weird stuff I've never seen, as I'm quite a noob just like you. Still I've never been in any kind of pain to flash my phone, and outside of ROM-related glitches, never had any problem.
What I know for sure you should do is to give folks here more details about :
How you first rooted it
What recovery you're using
The exact procedure you've followed to flash Smart Phone Revolution
The exact procedure you've followed to try and resolve the problem.
Did you try to unroot the phone completely, or just flashed stock firmware after factory wipe?
Any other thing or incident you think could be related?
Then sit tight, and wait until someone with experience stops by to help. Good luck!
