Hi again. I'm having a very weird issue, and I thought it was related to my camera problem [now partially solved] because this started happening after the camera incident. The screen will suddenly and randomly turn off, or switch to the highest brightness. To fix it, I have to lock the screen, then unlock it.
I searched and this thread showed up. It's exactly my problem, but I can't do what he did, since I'm not in Brazil. I'm running Kang's CM7.
Is the latest fix important? I haven't installed it because I'd have to wipe everything [again] and I'll need a whole weekend to get my stuff together once more, but if this is key to fix the screen, I'll do it.
I have the same problem, I havent found a solution. Have you found a solution?
Same for me
Same problem for me... the screen suddenly set to highest brightness (only sometimes) and after a few seconds, the screen turn off itself. Sometimes turn on itself in 10-20 seconds but already times, I need lock it (with power butom) and unlock again.
I was testing with a bounch of ROMs (CM7, GB, ICS, etc), but problem always is present. I was cleaned the usb port pins (see that solution from other post) and nothing happen.
...sorry for my english
You can try to reflash the stock rom from www.samfirmware.com based on your region..

i'll get stright to the problem, after flashing my SGS and rooting it a a week ago, and loading it with almost 60 apps, the speed is still stable, everything including the benchmark is giving the same results around 21++ ,,, today something weird happened, when i try to turn on the screen after the screen turns off after 30 sec, i just can't get the lock screen anymore, it goes directly to the desktop, i tried restarting and removing the battery, i only get the screen lock the first time then i can't get it anymore except after restarting it,,
i also tried to use the pattern lock and yes the problem still exists, i get the pattern once i restart then when i turn on the screen after some time it goes directly to the desktop

Since Sprint is going to try and screw me big time if I get a new phone, I've decided to see what new life I could put into my old Touch Diamond (DIA500). I installed XDAndroid FRX05, and it seems to be working really well, with a few exceptions. One of the first things I tried was to enable Bluetooth. What happens is that it enables, but about 4 seconds after being enabled, it says it's shutting down, then it starts back up, and shuts down. It keeps doing this forever, until I turn it off. Now that I tried Wifi, it does the exact same thing. I've rebooted a few times, and took the battery out once, but still nothing. I've since installed a battery-saving program, but this happened on a fresh install.
The next issue is with the backlight. If I try and change the brightness, it changes for a second, then goes back to the brightness it was. It does this whether I turn the brightness up or down. It's not set to auto.
The third issue is the GPS. It works, but seems to take a long time to get a lock. Under WM, I'd have some kind of location within seconds, even inside. I'm guessing it was using the phone network to speed things up. Under android, it takes a few minutes sometimes, and it's worse inside.
I also had a nightmare calibrating the screen. It's still a little off, but it works. Does anyone know a screen calibration program that would work?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
To solve the brightness problem. Boot WinMo and turn off auto brightness there. That will solve that problem.
Thanks for share you knowledge here DA01
I have recently purchased this phone via swappa and haven't had any issues prior to this and that has been three weeks (other than a light leak).
The issue that is happening is the LCD will not turn on. When the phone is unlocked via knock on or power button you can move your finger over where the lock circle would be and feel the vibrations showing that it does register the touch. Then usually I would just hold the power button till it rebooted and this would sometimes fix the problem, on a side note the boot LG logo and boot animation do not show up during this time simply the lock screen would randomly appear.
That is problem, now on to what I tried to fix it. I have put on an entirely different rom and the problem persists, I have also flashed a different kernel on the stock rom with no avail. I at first thought it could be due to a faulty proximity sensor, but the last time the screen was on I checked it with sensor box. One way I have been able to reproduce the problem is after locking it putting it in my pocket and waiting around five minutes, this then will make it so the LCD does not turn on ( Which makes it seem like it has something to do with deep sleep). Also something I just found since I was actually able to find the power off button, the screen also won't turn on when the phone is off and plugged into the charger (this makes it seem like hardware issue). It seems like as long as I keep the phone from going to deep sleep the LCD will turn back on.
Some of this makes it seem like a software issue other things make it seem like a hardware issue. I just was wondering if anyone had any ideas or if I need to buy a new screen, if the mobo is bad, or if I could fix this with software. Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thank you all in advance.
I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange
Hi guys.
I got an issue of screen time out timer.
Sometimes it works but mostly not.
Display isn't turning off at all.
Sometimes it's turning off like normal (set at 1min) but sometimes not turning off at all.
It's all happening with any notifications (not specific one).
Can't find the reason it's happening,
Even made a clean flash and nothing changed
Need advice.
Thanks.
