Hi,
I have a strange but a small problem with my phone.
Its with the proximity sensor and screen freeze.
The problem is that when i make a call, put the phone near my ear the screen goes off (Which is normal). But when i hang up the call, screen never comes back to life. Its total black... and when i tried calling to the phone....... it WORKS.....but then again the screen is total black. it doesn't comes back to life.....
I tried pressing the home button....No Luck.
Tried pressing the power button....No Luck.
All that i could notice is a red light in the proximity sensor. That's it.
I am on a stock ROM 2.3.5, Indian Firmware. No Root, No Custom ROM.
I started facing this issue after i gt this phone from SSC for motherboard replacement. Before it, i had used it for a month, it worked far well.
Moreover this issue occurs on a very random basis, like 4-5days once.
All i could do is plug the battery out and plug in.
The below posted link also the same problem, but with no solution

Try doing a factory reset.
If that doesn't work, reflash your firmware.

But could anything be estimated ?? i.e. a h/w or a s/w problem ??
And that is why i dont like factory reset, I will again have to install all my apps and other stuff all over again...!!!
this happens to me too.....
but sometimes on titanium rom..

To get rid of this use titanium backup application (free version also available)

I used to have that problem in the stock Indian rom too.. But it went away since I upgraded to stock 2.3.6 xwla4 austria rom. I've rooted and flashed titanium and still no problem, so I think it's a rom fault.

Ok people...
But when i had bought this fone, i used it for a month, i never witnessed such prob.
Its nly after the motherboard replacement.
So it makes me think, whether other parts of fone are manipulated or watever....
If its a software glitch, not a issue. it shldnt b a hardware issue.....!!!

Doesn't seem like a hardware issue. Hardware problems are generally more consistent.

I too have started facing this problem started since a month back but appears randomly. It might have happened around three to four times by now. I am on stock rom 2.3.5 too.
Even i had the same problem. But never appeared again after a factory reset. Maybe ICS update can fix every bugs.
I have exactly the same issue, moving to xwla4(Titanium) didn't solve it but haven't experienced any freezes since I moved to zcla1(glx-r rom). Its still early stages though, I switched just 8-9 days back, keeping my fingers crossed
However, I would like to share my findings
1. The phone restarts on looooong press power button(10 sec appx), so no need to take out the battery (At least it worked for me)
2. Its not just Galaxy-R, the problem occurs with many phones, especially on Custome kernels/Roms. It can most likely be configured by Proximity sensor calibration in the kernel. See this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
But the application posted here doesnt work on our kernel right now, not for me atleast. Maybe ardatdat can help us out with kernel changes for proximity sensor recalibration in his next release.
After a few days on cm9 .. my touch screen become unresponsive.. at first it only take one time lock and unlocking it again to make it normal.. + another few day.. now it take many time to make it work.. after that i change back to ddkp3 with adipat kernel but the problem didnt go away fully it came back to 1 time lock back to fix the unresponsive.. i wipe cache/dalvik cache.. flash xxkp3>>ddkp still stay like that.. anyone else facing this?
there is also text of "safe mode" at the left bottom of the screen// fixed with switch on + volume up button
It seems like .. it happen when i reach deep sleep.. after it went to deep sleep and i want to use the phone this problem occur ..
any help?
Edit:
now i need to lock and lock again 3 time + before my touch screen become responsive
what Rom you use again? DDKP3?
i have tried .. ddkp1/2/3 .. xxkpe/q/u and one froyo firmwire.. it still is the same..
are my touch screen broke? .. but i can still use it after some unlocking ..

Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.
I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.
I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.
Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.
And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:
The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:

Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!
Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.
I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.
If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.
I got only one phone. . And i cant use it.

I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.
Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.
Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.

Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)
I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.

Well all of a sudden my screen is working now, touch wood.
I'm in Chennai right now. Was having the problem in goa. Don't know if the weather has made a difference.
Will find out when I get back to goa.
Btw, I had flashed UCv15 yesterday. So try flashing it and stay on it for a few days.

Same problem for everyone...
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
It is a Hardware issue.
I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best...
BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?

And the problem is back. Not entirely though.
After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.
After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.
Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.

Hello guys...strange things are going on in my phone from last 2 months..at first it used to react as if the back softkey is prseed..it used to bring me back to home screen through all screens i passed to open a app (like setting->wireless and..->internet seting..->apn..)and reversly it sent me back to home without letting me to change any data.....then it used to act as if the option/search soft key is pressed..like if the home screen is not altered for 5 sec..the google search option opens...many times pressing home key took a screen shot...and my touch screen started to be unresponsive...firstly i could use my for but sometimes the screen remained unresponsive which could be fixed by pressing power button and locking the screen agin..then it used to response...now a days the phone hardly responces 2-5 times a day and accepts only one selection(like i may open app drawer but cant se;ect any app its frozen or open the phone app but no number could be pressed..its frozen)
i have flashed almost every rom but none fix the problem...recovery mode key test does not detect my 2 soft keys..
...samsung care is verry laggy here ..and irresponsible..last time they took my samsung j 150 and returned it after 3 months with a new defect of speaker blown and a huge billl..
plz help me... thank you
On my device, if I put the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my thigh, i tend to sweat a bit in long pants and thus the phone gets some sweat on the screen. After wiping it off, the phone would not be very responsive. I would pull everything out and leave for a while, I assume water had gone in, then it worked. So is something similar happening?

First of all..THANKS for your reply..yes..u r very right..even in early days(near abt 3 months..when problem started) the phone used to be more unresponsive after taking it out of my pocket..but pulling off didnt fix anything..a funny fact (may be logical due to drynesss) is keeping the phone in a.c room makes it work for a while(not the soft keys..every thing else)..so your guess is right..but pulling out all didnt help me..

Then your problem may not be the same. Maybe a hairdryer will do. If it still doesn't work then maybe it's your touch panel. My phone works perfectly at home

Me too think that its not the touch sceen..but something due to the softkeys...i have been observing my phone from the first day of fault...but may be the touch panel is faulty...not sure..any way thanx for your active responce...
I think you should clean up your phone and then cover the gaps between the glass and the chrome colored plastic design.
Try it?

This can happen also due to bad flash or kernel malfunction...due to wifi panic
Try flashing zero fill tar and flash fresh rom.

Deep sleep kernel panic makes the phone unresponsive when exposed to some heat and moisture... generally a clean flash would solve the problem...
zero fill is a tar file that helps clean the system by removing all the previous system data..just flash any rom after flashing zero fill.tar normally.
also you have to take care that screen stays out of sweat(moisture)

sorry,tried your advice...but no luck...thanx anyway....(i dunno why the touch buttons not working???i am sure they are the culprits..)
Unconventional, but if you wanna check the softkeys you could open up the phone (it's really easy if you use a guitar pick) and disconnect the buttons. Phone should still boot. If the behaviour is better, you could swap the softkeys for a replacement and problem solved. I take no responsibility for this. I myself have changed some electrical parts including the display, but I cannot say for sure that the phone boots without the softkeys connected without taking permanent damage. But you sound like it can only get better^^

I have noticed that for some strange reason the backlight for my capacitive buttons stopped working when I'm using my phone. I've searched for every possible setting that could have affected them in any way, but so far no luck. They are not physically broken because they do light up when the phone is booting up, so it must be a software issue. I'm running a completely stock 7.0 ROM at the moment and I haven't rooted it or modified it in any way.
Disclaimer : Yes, I've tried the galaxy button something something app. No, it didn't work.
No, I dont have power saving mode enabled.
