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, I've started to have this problem yesterday afternoon and I don't know what to do.
Whenever I turn the screen on everything is distorted, with white and black lines going all across the screen. After putting the phone in sleep mode and going back to the lock screen multiple times, the screen fixes itself. When I look at the screen in landscape mode the same thing happens. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or something else because sometimes when I drag the notification bar down, that seems to fix the screen itself. Any solutions? I tried searching all over for an answer but couldn't find any.
Thanks.
bump..Someone help please?
Sounds like a hardware problem, loose cable of some sort I would guess. Try to wipe and flash any 1.6 roms to rule out the bad 2.1 rom. Not likely but worth a try.
Good luck.
My phone wakes up to the lock screen for no apparent reason. I can't pinpoint the process that's doing it. It's very annoying when it's sitting on my desk or whatever and I see it keep waking up to the lock screen. I think I'm getting a message or something but nothing happens it goes right back to sleep in a matter of a second. This seems to happen every few minutes. I've uninstalled recently installed applications I thought could be the problem but it's still happening.
Is there a tool or app I can use to find out what's causing this? I have Spare Parts but i'm not able to get the information I need from it.
Thanks in advance!
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
Hi I have been using a Galaxy S for almost two years. I have two problems which started to occur recently. They occur in all ROMs I tried, so I don't think it is a software issue.
1- Sometimes when I unlock the phone the screen acts like I touch everywhere, even though there is no contact. It randomly starts apps etc. It can be very annoying. When I lock the screen and unlock it again, everything is normal. It happens two or three times a day on average.
2- Sometimes when I try to unlock the screen, the screen turns on, there is light coming out of it but it is still black. Nothing happens. I think this happens mostly when there is a media app running like music etc. but not 100% sure. The only solution is a reboot. Sometimes after waiting for some time the screen turns on but rarely.
Are these look like simple problems that can be fixed by phone repairer or something or the screen is dying? What do you think about it?
Thanks.
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.
