Which kernel are you running? When you say locked, do you mean the lock screen won't open, or you have a black screen. Is Bluetooth on when this happens?

if yours is like mine, the notification bar is just slightly pulled down. I have to tap on it again to put it back up and make things work again. Kind of habit to do it now...

I am currently running the Baby Step kernel. The screen is black and all buttons are locked. I have to reboot by removing battery.

Change your screen off clock to 400/600....it fixed mine and you can try step 2 if that is your only lock up! PM me your email and I will send the Kernels to you.

Off clock 400/600 seemed to clear things up. Do I need to wipe before installing Step 2 .zip?

I didn't I flashed that kernel over the baby steps then flashed ultimate which worked for a while then in a couple of programs it locked up so I went to step 2 and its insane!

Screen shuts off suddenly constantly

so here are my specs:
Cyanogen's 3.4 and his 1.2 recovery rom.
H's SPL and the newest radio.
Hero 1.2 theme.
So the problem I've been running into lately (which is the past few days) is that my screen just shuts off all of the sudden.
Like as I'm scrolling and reading news from the USA Today app, the screen shuts off and goes blank as if it was locking the screen.
I press menu of course to wake up my screen/phone and my phone seem normal.
This also happens when I get a notification for an email then click it and instead of it opening my gmail, the screen goes blank like mentioned above.
And when i press menu to wake it up, the screen that my phone is on is the gmail app.
Another instance is when I'm twitdroid and want to click a twitpic link to see a pic, it goes blank again. When I wake it up, it's at the twitpic page in the browser.
It's so odd to me because I'm physically using the touchscreen and then my screen goes to sleep. Before it happened my once in awhile, now it's more consistent... and getting rather annoying.
I've also been getting more lag during transitions.
Anyone else run into this? Know of any fix or why this happens?
Is it the theme? Transitions?
thank in advance
It might help to post a log from around the time the undesired backlight/screen shutting off is occurring.

Have you tried to reflash your current ROM? Wipe? Try a different ROM?
These are basic troubleshooting steps you should attempt before creating a new thread.

i've been having these problems too. for the screen backlight problem, i just rebooted and it seems to work fine now. but the lagging is quite annoying at times, especially the gmail app.

[Q] How to find the cause.

Weird problem happened yesterday.
Restarted the phone and it took a little longer than usual. When it started up up the home screens were reset to default like i have just flashed with new firmware and contacts were gone.
I put everything as it was before but now the problem is that when i restart the phone, as soon as it does the soft vibration when the lock screen appears, it is followed by the 3 pattern vibration that you usually get when there is a FC. The problem is that the phone starts normally without any indication why it has vibrated.
How can i find out what is causing this vibration?
BTW I have Froyo 2.2.1 which Im very happy with. I re installed also the firmware and its still happening.

Screen Bug

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.
we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?
As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.
have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\

That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader

Nexus 4 Home Screen Flashing.

So Today I was just out with friends when I took my phone out and realized the display kept flashing , not like flashes of white but the display seemed like it the color in the screen kept flashing, I rebooted my phone and it kept doing the same thing. After the third reboot it was back to normal, My question is has anyone experienced this before?

I experienced the same thing a couple of days ago, luckily I haven't had problems since.
Try to turn off auto brightness and check again.
Are you using stock firmware/kernel or modded?

Bone stock, It seriously seemed like the Display was going to die. Right after it just blacked out.

[Q] Random Restarts?

Over the past few days I have noticed that my D800 will randomly restart. It does it in this way every time...I will go to unlock the phone by double tapping and the front LED will turn white as it is supposed to, then it will just hang there with a black screen until the ATT logo shows again and it boots back into my lock screen. Why is this happening? Has it happened to anyone else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Opps i just started a topic on this. I have sprint g2 and i was suffering the same issues. I dont know what i did to fix it. But it seems fine now.

hello, I experienced the same trouble last week. I remove Gmail (as it was proposed in an other thread) and reinstall it. Since then, no more reboot . It seems that one update of Gmail is creating some trouble.
cross the fingers it does not appear again ;0)
