Me and others have an issue where when the keyboard is left open, and the screen and keyboard goes black, the keyboard backlight will flash on and off randomly.. I wonder if it does that while the keyboard is closed as well and noone is noticing it? Any ideas?
I'm not thinking it does cuz I've tesed that by sliding it just enough so it doesn't switch orientation and then letting it lock and it didn't flash at all but withit opened locked itflashes randomly not even at set times just when it feels like it

Does this happen on a stock setup? If not, which ROM are you using?
This should be in General also.
Id if it does it on stock but th first times I started noticeing it was when I stared using the froyo roms and I'm running the stock dk17 by konane and the dk17 modem

I am using the most up to date quantum rom package, I put it in dev because several in irc also have the issue and thought maybe it could be a battery issue if left unfixed, I will watch it in the dark in a little bit and see if its always happening and will report back
I just tried testing this and had no back light issues(watched it for about 10 min.). I am stock with root, running launcher pro.
Not seeing any light while it is closed, it does it at regular intervals when open, almost like its polling. Using screen timeout of 1 minute and keyboard timeoutof 15 seconds
I am using the Froyo DJ29 Leak. stock kernal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836111
I have this issue as well.
If close the phone, the keyboard will NOT blink. i can peep between the phone and do not see any extra lighting.
my screen is set to 15sec timeout and i do not see the option to do keyboard timeout, i did on the 2.1.
I too had this issue when I switched to the first leaked 2.2 ROM. I had it on every ROM I have flashed EXCEPT: VIPERrom IMPact 2.3. I just read this thread, and thought damn I had this issue, then went to check the ROM I just flashed early this morning and it seems to be gone... I had it on the VIPERrom 2.2, but not the 2.3 based on DK17 modem and kernel.
Have we found any solutions for this?
I've been having these problems with DK17 (stock, and any ROM);
Now I've upgraded to DK28 Froyo and I thought this problem would go away, but low and behold my keyboard backlight still turns on and off randomly when I leave the keyboard slid out.

Has anyone else seen this on their screens or know how to fix this or why its happening?
Using Myns Rom, with Battery Tweak, etc etc
What?????????????????????
Actually no pic, the screen shot didnt get the vertical lines..
If the software isn't catching lines, then it's your screen.
Some hardware has lower tolerances with battery tweaks, voltages, etc. Try putting a stock kernel back on it and see if that fixes it.

i had this issue at first when i was running myns twopointtwo.
i'd boot up and have vertical lines everywhere. If i hit the power button to lock the screen, wait a sec, then hit it again to unlock it the screen would be fine. problem would not reappear at all. its like a momentary glitch i guess.
hope this helps
I have had this issue as well with various Roms lately. After turning the screen off and on it would go away. I've also had other issues such as the phone starting up in car dock mode after a reset, screen auto rotatating even though it's disabled and my media volume not going down after being turned all the way up. I have wiped data, cache, dalvik various times and even ran the latest RUU to start all over but the issues still continue. Anybody else having similar issues ?

Same here. Lock the screen, wait a bit, unlock and it stops. Annoying but no big deal really.
Yeah Same thing with me, I turned off the screen and it went away, so weird but it fixed it for now
I forgot, after I saw that , I went into recovery and erased cache, dalvich, etc then I flashed Baked Snackk 1.8 on and still had the issue until I turned screen off then back on... weird
Seems like a lot of us are having the same issue wondering if anyone remmembers when they first saw this happen so we might narrow down the cause to this issue. Mine started after i flashed xxbabiboi228xx rom with kings kernal 11. At first i though it was due to the transition animations, but now i see it no matter what i flash. Not blaming xxbabiboi228xx rom, hes rom is bad ass. Am just pointing out when i first saw this happen.

Had the same issue.
its the screen technology.
I JUST exchanged my evo for another brand new one (still within 30 days)
because i had lines going down my screen (Novatech screen).
They were faint yellow lines evenly spread. Got my New evo today and got a different screen (Epson). This screen also has vertical lines.
At the sprint store the 2 evo's on display had the lines however one of them was almost not visible unless u tried to look for it. The other Evo on display looked like mine.
So unless you guys know somethign i dont, i believe this is hardware related.
Theres other forums confirming this.
Both my evo's had hardware 003 but first one was a novatech and this one is a epson.
Novatech screen does look better.
Has anyone found what the issue with this is? I get vertical lines no matter what ROM I flash. I does not happen with the stock RRU ROM though. Got a replacement phone with an EPSON HW 003. Help!
I had the same problem and I found out its the kernal if you have hardware 003 like I do I just use the stock kernal from fresh

Not sure. I had an 003 before also with an Epson screen which worked flawlessly with any ROM or Kernel I flashed on it. But I guess every phone is different.

I'm fairly certain the tearing and screen lines/corruption are related.
When I first got my phone a month or so ago, I tried a few different ROMs and kernels. All of the kingx and netarchy kernels I tried exhibited screen tearing, and would more than occasionally exhibit the screen lines/corruption you mentioned . . . sometimes even starting at the boot animation screen.
I was worried I got a bum phone (it was only the second day I had it, so I was a bit noobish) but I flashed the stock kernel (HTC #11) and never had the problem again.
Since then, I've tried a couple newer versions of those custom kernels, and wind up reverting back to an HTC kernel (also tried 10 and what's the latest one? 17?) due to the screen tearing. They just don't like my particular hardware I guess (003 with the Epson panel).
I am also having this same issue, but I am using a stock rom and a flashed kernel.
I had the momentary thing once, don't remember the circumstances, but screen lock / unlock fixed and it hasn't returned. Flashed cm6.1rc1 and after about 20 min. I got real bad, very uneven vert lines plus a flicker that persisted even after reboot. I nanded back to Azrael 2.5 and started using LPP instead of Sense - not CM, but better than the screen from hell! No screen trubs since.

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)

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?

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..
Ok after a couple of days with little to no problem I am having a weird problem that I just want to report. While locked my phone will do a weird reboot. No splash screen, no sound. The menu keys stay lit. When the screen comes back up everything is restarting and the phone is locked still.

Hello everyone, I'm having a few problems with eb13 I havnt seen in any of the bug threads, forgive me if I overlooked. But anyway, compared to di18 the dropdown notification bar is very stuttery and laggy whenever the menu is slid down. I'm also seeing a touchscreen responsiveness delay in any scrolling menu. The fps of the scroll is fine but it seems to take the epic a half a second longer to relize that your finger has moved on eb13. I have flashed the new rom every possible way, odin, samsungs exe, update.zip from di18. It also applies to every eb13 custom rom I've tried so far as well as the stock rom, but not the miui rom or cyanogen beta1. I'm just curious to see if anyone else is seeing the same problem as me or if its just my phone. Thanks for any input, this is driving me crazy.

im not getting alot of panning lag. Seems the same as eclair. But the stop down drawer is jerky and stutters alot. Eclair was very smooth, don't know why froyo does that. I mentioned it several times when the initial leaks were available. Pretty much ppl said that its beta so most likely it will be better on the official release. Well... Here we are.. Still jerky.
ever since eb13 I have noticed way too many fingerprints on my screen
Nope. My phone flies. Running SuperNova w/ Gingerbread theme on EXT4.
both of those issues seem to me to be the difference between a set rate or maybe a couple that the dropdown and the app list move at... on DI18. It seems froyo is more responsive to what your finger actually does, than just go 'ok, drop down at X rate'... could be just me... most roms I have tried are awesome that way... I like that its really responsive.... like the dropdown for example, if you slide your finger up 1/3 of the way, if follows the speed of your finger, pull away at that point and it continues at a set speed... I kind of like it... it seems like the stutter is where your finger leaves the screen, if I go all the way to the top, as fast at I can with my thumb in a normal grip on the phone, it does seem like it could use some framerate, or maybe its hitting little increments along the way... idunno... I like it better to be able to throw it up there fast than watch it nice and smoothly take a second.
for the record, on midNIGHT ROM, Genocide Kernel, 200-1200 on SetCPU, conservative scaling- dont remember stock EB13 being too much different in this particular case...
While I don't seem to get lag when scrolling, when it's not plugged in, it does take a second or so for the power button to register a press and wake the phone up.
Oddly enough, when plugged in, it turns on instantly.
My phone will randomly shut down and will not power back on unless I pull the battery, I have 2 batteries and it happens with either one. It does not shut down while on charger/dock. I have wiped the phone multiple times with odin, I've used several different roms/kernals,same results every time. Just curious if anyone else has been experiencing this issue.
I've been experiencing this after I went to eb13 with the custom kernels that are out. But my.phone will either lockup and I have yo pull the battery or it will reboot itself. Never had what happens to u yet.

Permanent sleep
I may have experienced a similar problem, running a DK28 based kernel with both Quantum 2.5 & 2.7 ROM's.
When the phone sleeps and you're not able to wake it, do the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen still light up? If they do then I have had the same issue. I could only narrow it down to restoring apps+data or putting the phone in sleep while an app is running. Once it was the result of putting the phone in sleep after a FC.
I can only posit that it MAY be an ext4-only ROM related issue, considering I did not have the above situation occur with rfs ROM's or rfs/ext4 dual ROM's. In addition this was only limited to DK28 for me. I was off DI18 <16hrs after I bought the phone. The DK28 gps issue was a non-factor as well, occurred whether gps worked or not.
before updating to 2.2 - I did the DK28 and now the EB13 one - with 2.1 I would have my phone randomly reboot - I would be sitting there and here the music it makes when it starts up but I never turned it off?
other times it would just be turned off, but when I turn it back on the abttery is not low enough to cause it to turn off
all this went away with DK28 2.2 and hasnet happened since I installed EB13 2.2
This happeed to me the other morning. I wasn't able to boot until I reflashed the kernel. Twilight frozen btw.

Ive been very careful with my epic as it has been great to me, it hates me probaly tho for feeding it stuff while experimenting things that make it spit up FCS,

Second try

Restored apps and data with mybackup pro root
FC, music player force closing (doubletwist, stock and musicmod, poweramp worked though?), fc when trying to change ringtone or notification.
Started reading about others with the same issues and thought data backups were a reoccuring theme. Did a third try tonight and so far so good. Music players working, no force closings, keyboards working correctly, gps lock indoors. Its still early, problems might still popup, thought id share...
Latest froyotempt
Fresh backup with mybackup pro root
Wipe x3
odin eb13 prerooted (ctsy xda forum) same file from attempt 2. Did this x3 as well, read it in a thread somewhere...
backup apps only with mybackup pro root
All attempts were with genocide kernal.
So far so good, none of the previous bugs are apparent, so far... Those of you that are on the fence regarding doing the same, so far its worth the time.

That used to happened to me on eclair when I set my setcpu profiles too low when screen off. You wouldn't happen to be using setcpu would you?
actually I am, I have my minimum down to 200 MHz, going to raise it and see if that helps
@400 MHz did it again, trying 800
I'll add to this thread. I seem to be having the same problem and I believe it started when I installed quantum rom... but I'm not sure. The symptoms i had were random reboots, where the screen would shut off and the 4 lights would stay on. Then I would have the sound of lost signal as if my phone rebooted and was starting over. Also, the most recent problem I get is my phone completely shuts off and I need to battery pull to get it to start up, and it loops on the splash screen of my rom. I have tried doing a complete odin wipe and not restoring anything and I believe it is still happening...

Any update?
Also, make sure the governor isn't "powersave". If you have 100-400MHz powersave governor, it still ONLY runs at the lowest speed (100MHz), even if it's 100-400MHz.
Still happening, not on powersave, doesn't matter what settings I have in set cpu. Did a hard reset back to 2.1 and it still happens, bringing it in for repair.
