So this happens to me all the time now...
I'll be in an app, such as XDA or the browser, and scrolling through text. Actively touching the screen every few seconds to scroll further. But the screen will go dim, and then blank as if I wasn't interacting with the phone at all. It just auto-locks disregarding the fact I was actually using it.
Anyone else experiencing this issue or have a fix for me?? Any ideas?
Had the same problem with my g1 a reboot alwaysed fixed it. But havent had that problem in the g2 tho

Thanks for the reply. I reboot all the time it seems anyway, messing around with temp root and such. This problem just randomly pops up.

So it just started happening today but each time I try to enable 4G the OS crashes. I get the black screen of death and subsequent restart. Any idea why? What can I do to fix it?

Same thing happened to me yesterday when I enabled 4g thru the pull down bar buttons. Also somtimes I get that black screen freeze and random soft restart randomly. Like today I was walking into work, got a text message, opened up the messaging app and slid open the keyboard to start tryping and I tapped out like 5 letters and then my phone just froze, went black, then like restarted without the full reboot

This is exactly what happens to me. I've rooted but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. Anyone else? Any suggestions?
Sometimes the screen goes blank and is compleyely unresponsive, I have to pull the battery to get it to work again. Is this a common problem? I haven't seen much of this on these forums.

Happened to me this morning. Actively using phone then... nothing. Blank screen, no response to the power button. I also had to pull the battery to get it working again.
First time I've seen this in seven days of having the phone.

I haven't overclocked it yet. I'm kinda waiting for perm root before I start tinkering with that. This has happened to me twice so far.

Not overclocked either.

Came here to see if anyone else was having this problem.
It has happened to me about 3 times over the past couple weeks. Unresponsive, blank screen (powered off?), have to pull the battery before it will restart.

Happened to me today as well. I wasn't running rooted at the time, and the TMo forums have people reporting this problem as well.
Unfortunately, at the time this happened, I didn't think to throw 'adb logcat' at it to see if the phone had stopped responding all together or it was some kind of hardware issue.
hmm weird, I was having a lot of issues when I OC to 1.42ghz, black screen, phone freezes, having to pull battery each time.. very annoying, so i just went back to 800mhz and it runs amazing
This has happen to me numerous times before i forced the ota update and i only got the problem once after the update I seem to get it most when i press the power button to turn the screen on it let me slide to unlock it but i shows a black screen and i can only see the notification bar at the top and it is totally unresponsive for a good 10 seconds untilli keep pushing the home button and eventually the black screen goes away for me
and i was oc to 1ghz before ota but not yet oc bak yet so it leads me to believe that the oc was not the issue because i got the same black screen with out being oc
After the update all the glitches went away. It has been running like a champ since.

when my screen goes blank I hold down the power button till Power Off Prompt comes up then hit back. It always fixes my blank screen
Are any of you using NoLED... Because I had that problem, and when I un-installed it, the problem went away
Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen triggering at different places when touched, or randomly knocking off the phone when you're not even touching the phone? I turned off my knockon feature, but I would see my notification bar be highlighted without me touching it. Just wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.
No issues at all.

this glitch is kinda what happened with mine, and i confirmed what it was doing
in swiftkey, you know how tehre's the option to change the long press delay? well i was holding down that little bar to drag it down, and i noticed while holding it inplace, the numbers were going crazy..it was going up/donw/up/down incredibly fast, instead of just staying stationary..i was like, wtf? so i went to dev options, turned on show touch points and the trace so i could see the axis, and i noticed it was freaking out. holding my finger in place, it was as if it was moving around like crazy.
so i did a factory reset and flashed the clean verizon rom scott posted, and it hasn't done it since. no idea wtf was going on. i realized it was messing up bc my typing became really bad, and it would enter things i didn't type.
Touch Screen has a mind of its own - bad digitizer??
I woke up today to find my screen on, showing the lock screen which I found odd. Now most of the time the screen has a mind of its own where basically its like an invisible finger is randomly touching the screen at a frantic place. This opens up apps, moves icons around, calls people if the phone app manages to get opened, etc. After struggling to override the "invisible finger" I've done a reboot from the power menu, powered off from the power menu and left it off for 10 minutes before turning off and held down the power and volume down button to reboot. None of these methods fixed the problem0
Please note I did accept the Verizon update but was good on it for a day prior to this issue. I have installed minimal 3rd party apps and can't attribute the problem to starting right after installing something. I do use the Ghost 100 wireless charger but have been using this from day 1 without issues so I don't think that'a problem either. The Verizon store sold me this charger and although its not listed as being compatible on Verizon's website I have a feeling that's cause the phone is so new. The charger is WPC certified. Being that this problem is intermittent (happens way more often than not) I think it may be a software issue and I'm about to do a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'm convinced its a hardware issue and probably a bad digitizer. I've been very gentle with the phone - haven't dropped it, no moisture or water exposure, not rooted, etc. I'll report back if the factory reset works. Anyone else having the same or a similar issue?
Super buggy lockscreen!!!

You're not alone! My G2 has been driving me crazy the last couple of days when trying to use the lockscreen. It'll spaz out and either skip a connection of display a whole different pattern than I drew. It will also shut off the screen and reset the "wrong password" counter. I love this phone but this is super aggravating!
Hard reset didn't help at all. I went to a Verizon store and they exchanged for a new one and determined I had a hardware failure.
When trying to wake my phone the soft keys turn on but the screen wont. I have to hit the button over and over or do a battery pull.
I am experiencing severe lag. When typing it takes up to 3 seconds for a typed word to appear. Simple tasks like scrolling, pulling down the status bar, or launching the SMS app take forever to execute or freeze the device.
Has anyone else had this issue?

In case anyone else has this problem-- I got my phone exchanged, made the new phone identical to the old, and no longer have this issue. This leads me to believe it is a hardware problem.
Hello, I'm facing this bug since some time ago (don't remember if this started with the pie update or not).
When scrolling an app (Twitter, Reddit, etc) sometimes it gets stuck and there's nothing I can do for it to become responsible again, the only thing that brings it back is pressing menu button and multitask to another app or to the same app that got frost and everything goes back to normal. It's weird. I think I has something to do with the screen shut down time because those freezes occurs when I stop scrolling for some seconds and when I want to scroll again it gets stuck as explained, probably approaching the time limit that the screen is set to shut down for inactivity... Also, when u try to scroll and realize it's stuck, when you multitask and get back to the app that got frost, you see that it actually scrolled it was just the screen/image that was stuck.
If there's anyone facing this bug or knows a fix?
Cheers.
