The reason i put this in the developers section is because I'm sure they've run into these issues.
I am currently running the new white widow "Phoenix". I am OC'ing at 710.
ISSUES:
Screen wont wake. I have to pull the battery and reboot.
If I tap the phone on a table on the top left corner of the device (lightly) it shuts off.
Sometimes I go to wake the screen and it reboots. Somehow having turned off.
I hit the home button and all I see is the status bar and a blank rest of screen.
I've tried froyo roms as well as a couple 2.1s and all of these have occurred on each rom. Help? Thanks in advance.

based upon that statement, personally, i think your phone (hardware) is jacked. i've used just about EVERY ROM in existence... never had any of the issues you described.
i've even dropped my phone on concrete, tables, etc... no shut-offs, etc.
probably not what you want to hear, but i'd probably flash a fairly stock ROM, see if still happens. if so, probably time to get a refurb/warranty replacement!

WHY WOULDN'T YOU POST THIS IN ITS OWN THREAD? WW has its own thread ask the developer of the rom, this is getting out of hand. it is a specific issue with a specific rom please help keep the forum clean.
sorry for snapping i know your new but next time please, this should be kept to its own thread.

Sorry dude (I think your a dude, anyway) but read the whole post from the top he said he tried it on many roms and it happen in all of them so its not rom specific
if this is happening on multiple roms, and with the issue you described with the phone acting up if it gets tapped, my advice would be to 1 try a stock rom and see if it still happens and 2 if it does call vzw or the insurance company and get another phone. because to me also it sounds as if its a hardware problem, not a software (rom) problem
what really sucks is that I just got a replacement because the trackball broke :/. I'm think it might be the extended battery I have shaking loose a little. That would do it I suppose. Thanks for the replies. And I apologize to the user who wants the forum clean. Not only did I try it on multiple roms but I knew I'd get more replies if I posted it here.

Also I've heard of others having the screen wake bug. Where it doesn't turn on the lockscreen at all. Is there something I could flash to fix it?

I just put in the original battery and and back. So far no random shutting off or shutting off when it taps something hard. Will update.

@ lemarg has there been anything, that u think that would fix this? this question is for lemarg and everyone else.
mine froze when i was useing the GPS..i had to take out the battery to rest it
mine froze when i was useing the GPS..i had to take out the battery to rest it
It's GPS related, I would disable GPS and turn on Network location.
hey, heygrl
thanks alot on that, since i have disabled the GPS, it hasnt been giving me that black screen, just wondering what does the black screen have to do with the GPS anyway? sorry for the kind of stupid question, but im also knew to the whole android OS and all.
I have not had any black screens nor have I had my Vibrant freeze. Iv'e been using it since release day so I guess you can call me lucky?

There seems to be a bug within Samsung's GPS programming causing this and other issues with GPS.
My Vibrants home button just stopped working. I have to tap it like 10 times to
make it work and then it just stops again. I know its a known issue and i am sure
alot of your guys had this problem as well. Are there ways to fix it? or no.

I have never heard of this issue, what did you do to cause it.. What did you flash?
Did you drop it?
p.s, wrong section.

Where are these "many people", because I have also never heard this one?
Not saying it's not true, but I'm pretty active reading most of the major threads and haven't seen this as an issue before.
I would try flashing a different ROM just to make sure it's not a bad flash. If that doesn't clear it up, you can be sure that it's hardware related.
I had the same issue with my first vibrant. Call tmobile and get a replacement.

I experience this every once in awhile. I really think its just lag. I find myself pressing my back and menu button multiple times. But its usually when I have multiple apps running at the same time. But its not often of enough to call it broken. It was a orginal hardware lock phone.
I have this issue with the menu button sometimes. It doesn't feel like lag because the buttons don't even light up. Seems to be more prevalent on froyo roms.
***Swyped onto XDA via Vibrant***
So the conclusion is that its a software issue or hardware?
This problem does exist maybe not with the majority of users.. but I too suffer from this problem every now and then. Sometimes my home button will work flawless and sometimes it can be a pain in the ass!! literally becoming unresponsive to the point of multiple taps in order to get some response. I'm sure its not lag because this even takes place at the home screen with literally nothing going on in the background.
Had the exact same issue, it is software. In my case I've been using the Zeam launcher, it was NOT Zeam at fault, rather the Gingerbread Launcher Free that came loaded with my ROM. I found a post with the same symptoms from someone who was using LauncherPro. After removing the unused launcher (Gingerbread Launcher free) and rebooting the home key is behaving just as it should.
im willing to bet its not the same for everyone
if you have a screen protector on (such as realook), i guarantee that is your issue
In my case, it was the overclock settings with Setcpu. remove overclock to see if ok on yours.

Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..
Sometimes my backbutton fires twice. Its very annoying when browsing and going a page back and it actually jumps 2 pages back.
I checked the behaviour with the app "KeyEvent Display" and it clearly shows that sometimes 4 events are fired instead of 2 (keyup + keydown).
The app requests root, but you dont need it for only testing the keyevents. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks
Mine does exactly the same, from what I've worked out its related to the phone running slow but I have no idea how to fix it, if we find an answer if be very grateful its very annoying!

I feel left out haha ive never had this problem. I have however had an issue where the screen decides to freak out and decides to do things at random, it gets annoying when im typing and all of a sudden all the keys start being pressed on thier own.
locking and unlocking fixed is temporarily.
Does anyone have a custom rom flashed with this issue still happening? That would tell us pretty quick if it was hardware/software related.
I have had this problem too well since i upgraded to 2.3.3

All the custom roms except for CM7 are based on the SE stock rom anyway, so if anyone on CM7 dosent have this problem the info would be useful
I have same issues with this for the up and down arrow it always post two key strokes in Bruce lee. I can't do some special moves and finish moves because of this I am wondering if I should try and get a replacement Verizon stock ROM
Could the double back button issue be caused by the circle button?
Maybe as you press the back button the back of the screen also pushes the circle button?
I dont have this issue btw.
Tbh i have only noticed this problem if i have the phone in my right hand and i use my thumb to press the back button (reaching over the phone to the back key). If i use the phone in my left hand and use my thumb no problem lol.
If i use it normally (phone in 1 hand and using a finger from my other hand) to press the keys i do not have this problem..... Strange
Well, I think I worked out what's happening. Try holding the 'R' shoulder key and press the back button.
I imagine what is happening is android is picking up the shoulder button press but it doesn't do anything. Then pressing the back button fires the event twice. The same way you can fool windows into repeating the wrong key when you hold 2 buttons down (may be fixed in windows ).
Now the question is, how the hell fan you fix it?
I'll submit it to SE later on tonight and see what they say.
EDIT: definitely seems to be certain apps. It doesn't happen in settings but does happen in tapatalk.
