First problem is random reboot when taking pictures with a flash. By randomly I mean it doesnt always happen but sometimes it does and when it happens it keeps on happening until I give it a break. It only happens with flash. I am running matrix kernel but I have confirmed this has happened with a friend of mine who is running completely stock. I have also experienced this with third party camera app.
Another problem is random "refresh" of the screen like basically its an animation where whatever is on the screen "goes back" and "comes back" again. Its like a split second thing and there is no other delay like I keep using the phone the way it is.
I am running 4.1.2 on i9023 with matrix kernel. I am sure that the refresh problem wasnt there in 4.1.1 but I am not sure if it immediately started happening after 4.1.2. And I am also not really sure about the camera thing as I dont use it that often. I do remember it happened before but cant be sure what version it was.
Anybody else have such problems?

Regarding the random "refresh" of the screen, I believe everyone has that. That's just normal for the phone. Nothing really you can do about it, not that I've seen any.
About the flash making the phone reboot, Have you tried clearing all the cache and dalvik cache? Also if that doesn't solve it, have you also tried flashing a new ROM? That specific ROM or kernal may be the problem. I know that Matrix kernals tend to have a slight problem with the camera. I speak from experience cause my Nexus S used to force close the camera app with Matrix kernal.
Let me know if this solve's anything.

Thanks a lot mate good to know that the refresh thing is normal as it doesn't really bother me but just wanted to confirm if it's normal.
The friend of mine is not running matrix but ill try to experiment with things to figure this out. In the meantime if anyone is facing this camera reboot issue then please chime in.

When I try to type on landscape mode the "t" will not respond when touching. Could this be an issue with a Rom or screen?
I had mine do that with the backspace button, i flashed another rom and the problem went away, not saying that this your problem just a thought...

Thanks. I'm on coredroid 7 right now. I may try another Rom to see if it goes away.
Though I haven't experienced this personally, thankfully, this sounds like the "unresponsive keyboard" problem experienced by others across several different roms.
Most people tend to automatically assume the ROM they are running at that moment is responsible, when in actuality, it just happens to be the first time the problem surfaced for them.
It is suspected to be a bug in the touchscreen driver for the phone itself, not ROM-specific.
If we're talking about the same thing...
I believe Scott_S to be correct, LeeDroid reverted the kernel to the older FroYo touchscreen drivers on his kernel a revision or so ago and since then my screen has not had any "dead spots"
So you could possible try his kernel on your ROM of choice and see if the problem goes away

I have had this happen on random letters with completely random ROMs. A reboot usually fixes the problem for me. Sometimes just opening and closing the app I am using will correct it as well.
Whatever wad going on has stopped. My guess is the kernel too. For some reason my phone doesn't like the leedroid kernel.
My Droid Charge is freezing randomly when I take a picture with it. After hitting the shutter button the screen goes black and unresponsive. I have to pull the battery in order to restart the phone.
Is anyone else having this issue?
EDIT:
Yes, I am stock. Running Widget Locker and Launcher Pro.

More infomation about your setup: Are you stock? If not what ROM and kernel? Are you undervolting?
similar issue
I have a similar issues sometimes with games and random apps on my stock rom. For the camera though I would start by unchecking the review option under settings and see if that helps at all.
Yes I am stock. Thank you.

This happens to me as well. Very random. I have only noticed it happening when I had the LED flash on. This happened to me while I was on imnut's debloated ee4 rom and humble 1.2
Yes, I have had this happen. I am currently running the stock ROM with the PBJ voodoo kernel. I have also had this happen when running completely stock.
I thought that this may have been a ROM issue but since you guys are having similar problems while stock, it appears to be an issue with our phones. We may want to report these problems to VZ/Samsung for a possible fix.
Going through the VZ forums, I see that this is actually a common issue.
I suggest that anyone else who is having this problem voices their concerns on their support site as well

Hey Everyone,
I am having some issues with my Nexus S (GSM). This does not happen on the stock rom but it seems to happen on any rom I flash and it becomes very annoying. The phone would be operating normally and out of nowhere it stutters and becomes extremely slow for about 5-10 seconds after it which it vibrates twice and back to normal again. I have also noticed that if the phone is idle it almost always goes through the slow process once I start it up.
If I increase the cpu to 1.2 ghz or higher the problem seems to appear more often.
I am hoping someone will help me fix it because the problem is extremely annoying when it happens during voice calls as it cuts out and the other person cannot hear me. If not I guess I will have to sell it.
Anyone have any solutions or has the same issues?
I think I had the same problem from time to time, but only when I was using a case on my phone.
I would unlock the screen and the device would be super slow for a few seconds, then I'd get a couple of quick vibrations and it would be back to normal.
My guess was that the case was pressing one of the buttons in (maybe volume?) while unlocking and it somehow caused the retardation.
I haven't seen that problem since removing the case -- though maybe it was a coincidence and I'm using a different rom that fixed it? Not sure.
In any event I'm using NSCollab 1.0.39 if you want to give it a try.
Are u doing fresh installs when u switch between roms

I already have tried and still no success. Usually when i restart the phone it fixes it temporarily but it comes back after some time.
I wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache every time I flash a new rom. So yes it is a fresh install...

Hey guys,
I tried looking for this issue but I can't seem to find it, I doubt I'm not the only one (I hope I'm not the only one...)
I've been flashing roms for a while now, fiddling with different settings/kernels/etc. and then all of a sudden I'm having issues with my Softkeys. I'll be using the phone and then they just go blank. What also happens is that the Search key gets held down (by a ghost, it seems) and it opens up the voice search option. I've also seen my Back button flicker as if it's being pressed repeatedly.
Right now I'm on CodeName Android 1.4 but I've tried 1.6, CM9 and it seems to be the same issue. I'm assuming that since this is consistant accross all ROMs that it's a hardware issue (I could be wrong) but I'm wondering if this has happened before and if there's a way to fix it.
Thanks gents
Hi friend,
The same happened to me once. It was very weird. I panicked, and locked the phone. Then when I unlocked it everything was as before. It must be some kind of a glitch, coming from CM9 built roms (almost all roms that are around). Try doing a totally clean install with a popular rom and see how it goes.
Now I remember that the same happened once again, when I got a drop of water on my screen, as the touchscreen seems to detect water as a form of touching and then all sort of weird things happened. Hope its a rom issue, not a Touchscreen failure.
Thanks man,
I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue either as I'm not sure what the process is in terms of sending my phone in for repairs.
I'll try a clean wipe and install tonight and see how it goes.
Thanks again
Update: Alright so I ended up calling Samsung because I had come to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue because every ROM I flashed I had the same damn issue.
I got the ok to send in my phone and all that, I went to return my phone to Stock and when I installed the OEM operating system everything was okay... I seriously doubt that every ROM I downloaded was bugged.
I'm thinking it's just a general glitch or is it possible that 1 ROM I downloaded was bugged and everyone after that inherited the same problem? I don't know...
So as the title states my phone has been doing this lately and i am unsure why. This will happen when my phone is just setting there and i am not playing with it. It will also happen when i am in the middle of something which is frustrating. I want to say this happens 3-5 times a day that i know of.
Phone Info...
Verizon
Rooted with stock ROM
I deleted some bloatware apps that was said to be safe
I also deleted some files so i do not get OTA updates anymore hmmm...
I cant remember when this started happening but i am assuming i brought it upon myself lol
Freezes / Goes to Lock Screen / Status Bar is Wiped Clean / Has No Service / Then back to normal in about 20 seconds???
If anyone is experiencing the same thing i would love to hear a fix or even an explanation of what it is?
Let me know if there is any other information i can give to make this easier to answer.
Thanks!
Yeah, it's a spontaneous hot reboot. Happens to me once in a rare while too but I've yet to figure out a pattern behind it.

Awesome!... well not awesome but i am glad you share my pain. May I ask... Are you rooted?
Yes. Running CleanRom 2.5. But I haven't noticed a correlation of the hot reboot issue to any ROM. Had it happen to me in Beans and also even rooted stock. Didn't have unrooted stock long enough to know if it happens there.
I was only stock for like a week or so and i don't remember it happening then but according to this forum i found people say it has happened while completely stock unrooted...
