So what happens every so often when I hit the unlock button is that my phone screen won't come on. Everything else works fine but the screen isn't on so obviously I can't see what's happening. Is this happening to anyone else or is this a possible hardware malfunction? It's been happening with several CM10 based roms over the last month and a half. It's gotten progressively more frequent.
Sounds like you're getting what they refer to as SOD. Its buggy software in CM10 that will hopefully be sorted out soon.
I agree, likely SOD. If your kernel allows control of CPU voltages, I would bump them up for the lower clock speeds. Seemed to help for me.

Which "unlock button" are you hitting. It's a common issue with the CM10 ROMs that if you hit the home button when the phone is locked and the screen is off that it doesn't bring the phone to life as it should. I have it happen all the time and just have to hit the home button several times or hit the power button to unlock it. I haven't tried seeing if the phone worked with the screen off like you mentioned I've always just tapped the home button till it lit up finally.

This drives me crazy and it has me considering using another ROM. Is it fair to call this "stable" release so if this keeps happening? Just food for thought.

Realize this post is over a year old but it helped me fix my issue. I used Benchmark and Tuning (available for free on play store) which allows you to choose a few types of governors one of which was on demand. hasn't black screened since. Thank you guys.

Okay for a good month and a half I have been having an odd problem. Sometimes randomly my phone will start glitching and viberating randomly like I'm pressing the soft buttons below the sreen and sometimes that menu comes up like I pressed the menu button. Not the launcher. Ans also I can be in gallery and select a photo and it will viberate like I hit the back button and it will go back and I have to select it a few times before it stops. What could it be? It even done it on froyo

That happens to me every once in a while, the whole system will just hang and the menu will come up or the recent apps thing will come up multiple times and the phone will vibrate, then it just goes back to normal.

Could be a bad flash, or some app has created a conflict, seems to me I read there are a couple of apps that caused this. You could just reflash a different rom, see if that fixes it.

From my experience you can get some oddities such as this as a result of a bad flash (which re flashing would correct as stated above) so I'd say your assumption is probably correct and your problem may be with the hardware.
I don't want to ask the obvious question but no one has. Have you dropped it any? Or has it been exposed to any kind of water. I had a phone freak-out on me when usb port got a little wet from some rain.
Just when you think you have it idiot proof, they come out with a better idiot.
not been wet and its not a bad flash. Right now I'm trying out froyo again and it done it again last night. I'm a uscellular agent. And I have yet to have anyone else come I. With the same problem

I believe this happens on an undervolted kernel un areas of extremely low signal. Recently, it seems to be happening on any kernel. I hope this get's addressed in our real froyo release.

It happened when I was on 2.1 as well, Usually only when I had a bunch of things running. Im an agent too! xD
OK my phone stopped for a few days I haven't had a case on it. Then today I pit my case back on it and it started doing it earlier for the first time in days. The case doesn't over the front of the phone at all

Yea, that sounds like it may be the case :s I've had it happen a couple times, but I thought it might just be like my fingerprint is over the button and keeps presseing it. I just wipe my finger over the bottom of the phone and it stops. Don't know if its the same thing.
Sent from my Froyo Mesmerize
I think you are right I've had the same issue and if youlook at the soft keys when it happens you'll see that one of the buttons thinks it's being pressed I think it's just a hardware issue cause like you said when you run your finger over the keys it stops.
Also, similar problem every once in a while when I'm trying to swype during a swype it acts as if my finger lost contact with the screen but I definitely didn't lift my finger abd it happens several times in a row until I lock the screen turning the touch screen off it seems to reset the touch sensors.

I've experienced this issue before, although very rarely. Every time it has been the menu button and it always seemed to be in colder weather. I use a thin screen protector I picked up at a USCC store. Happens even more rare with EA11 leak however my screen brightness changes (occasionally) when I end phone calls and am in the middle of an app

Hi all,
Today while I was listening music and typing messages, all of a sudden the haptic feedback of my NS suddenly become very weak...
Weak as in the vibration was not that distinct anymore. It forced me to perform a reboot to make it normal again. Anybody experienced this? I have encounter this the 2nd time already.

Has happened to me as well on stock and deck's t and u rom.
Rebooting fixed it on stock and flashing back to r worked on decks.
I've not noticed it on the Nexus yet, however I did come across this issue on the moment as well as the epic.
Just like anything the battery can only pump out so much juice, the more you run the less everything is getting. so if you have 100% of your voltage and 3 pieces of hardware pulling from it screen, cpu/gpu, and lets say vib, that means you would only be getting 1/3 of full power to each.
Its hard to say exactly what it was unless you were running logcat, monitoring power consumption, and other factors.
Now, the odds are its a software glitch.
yes ive also experianced this only once awhile ago i felt it while typing messaging all the sudden it was just like boom 5% vibration no clue why though
Yep...its happened to me many times. Usually a reboot always fixes it.
Its few and far between, so nothing to really worry about I would guess.

Now that you mention it i am sure i have had this a few times.... never really thought too much about it though
I've also noticed it, although again its rare enough to not bother me, and a reboot always fixes it. Just one of those little fixable bugs I guess.
thanks all,
good to hear this. actually its not that annoying cause this seldom happens.
after owning NS for 6 months this happens twice only so its alright not much of a big problem
Hey guys,
So I just bought a 2month used Infuse 4G originally locked to AT&T.
I've been noticing some issues and will try to explain it as clear as I can. Supposedly the person I bought it from said it was an OS issue...Hope you all can shed some light!
So pretend you're using your lovely android Infuse 4G and you're texting. All of a sudden you find yourself at the home screen, interrupted from your messaging. A couple of "huh's?" and "...wtf"'s you resume re-typing your text message.
Later you're on the highway driving to a new joint. The GPS signal has finally locked and you're cruising. All of a sudden, your GPS asks you if you want to end navigation. You look at your phone as if its a zombie and you quickly tap the 'cancel' option. Moments later, you notice the phone is back at the home screen and Google maps navigation is running in the background. You bring it back up. A few minutes later, the menus at the bottom come up. You tap the screen to make it go away and keep driving. This happens many more times while you drive even though you've already taken off the phone case.
So it seems like a ghost is touching the capacitive buttons. Not just one of those, ALL of them (Menus, home, search, back) while using the phone. It's not very frequent, but its enough to be aggravating.
Please advise, thanks!
Is there a case or screen protector on the phone? if so try removing and see if the problem persists

It's not an O/S issue .... well, it may be on YOUR device but not a general issue. If you do an Odin full restore to stock and still have the problem you now know why the guy sold it after 2 months.

None taken! I've actually left the phone w.o a case on a table. Its pretty scary to see your phone randomly show the menu from the home screen as if you pressed the button and then close that menu itself as if you were to press the back button...

Not sure what an Odin full restore is, but i'll look into it and give it a shot. Not surprisingly, my Infuse 4G is also among the few that have a GPS signal issue. The phone locks after 30 mins if Im lucky...
I didn't pay $434 for a phone that doesnt work properly/involves tweaking just to make simple features work...*sigh*
Hi folks, running CM7 with Faux's kernel and the entire front of the phone becomes unresponsive at times, seemingly randomly. Side buttons still work, turning the screen off and then back on fixes the issues. Capacitive buttons stop responding too.
Is there any reason for this to happen? It seems to occur on every nightly I've ever used, and I believe on several kernels.
Updated with logcat taken from right after I turned the screen back on.
Old bump, but still looking for help on this matter.
I've narrowed it down to being a hardware issue. Before cutting out, the touchscreen will often make seemingly random presses (hitting random keys onscreen, for example) for a second, and then crap out.
Applying higher than comfortable force to the top third of the screen restores touch temporarily, but hitting the power button on and off is the only way to reliably fix it (if only for a minute or 2). I'm ready to shell out $40 for a new digitizer, but can anyone else suggest what might be up or alternate methods of fixing it?
If it's still under warranty then try to get a warranty replacement.

What are your frequency settings via setcpu? Maybe your min to max is too high of a jump causing instability.

816 - 216 on Faux's kernel. Happens on stock and UV.
I still think it's the touch module itself since physically squeezing the phone gets a response.

Bring it up to 389(or 4-whatever, whatever's next) and see how that works.
Or try another kernel?
Although I'm sure these were things you've tried. I give basic possible solutions.

Hey guys so my xoom has been good for over year but suddenly within the last 6 months something funny has been happening. Sometimes when i press the power button at the back the xoom refuses to wake up. And i can keep pressing all i like but it just wont wake up. At times i wait for about 10 minutes and it will work again, but other times i have to soft restart it. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Mine started doing the same thing at about 6 months as well.
It would restart with a reboot with the power button and vol up, but not with just a press of the power button alone.
Luckily it was still under warranty and the repairer replaced the motherboard.
It has been fine for several months now.
Hope yours is still under warranty as well.

Noticing the same on EOS Stable. Very rare, but happened once or twice. May be worth flashing another ROM and seeing if the issue persists.
Regards.
Don't get it on the nightly builds. They are generally very stable, but lately it has a few issues with lag and audio.
I'm using CNA ROM and happened one time or two only... But it was because I was performing many operations at the same time, so it was really slow. If happens too constantly I'd go to Settings>Developer Options>Don't keep activities (check that) and Background process limit changed to "At most 1 process" or "At most 2 processes", you'll loose some of the Multi-tasking but it will be better...
All the best,

I'm just not seeing this - my latest mods have made it faster than ever for me, and by extension, should be for everyone else, too ...
When it has happened to me, there has generally been something intensive happening in the background, so the theory posted above may ring true. It may also be worth upping your min processor speed to 312Mhz or experimenting with different governors and seeing if that helps.

Maybe so, but I was strictly speaking about those nightlies where everyone was having issues. I guess it was fixed before I even realised. lol
Just to report, switching to CM from EOS cured my sleep/wake issues. Issue most likely resides with the EOS kernel. Obviously all hardware is different, so this doesn't affect all users.
