@ 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

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.
Hey,
I've got the HD2 running extremely smoothly with the NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.2 build.
Since moving to android and trying out WP7 I have been experiencing an issue where after a whole day of running perfectly I will turn the screen on to find everything is washed in white - it's like the screen turns greyscale but in white so everything is still visible and works but in white.
i don't seem to be able to find this problem anywhere else but it has happened with all the android nand roms and the WP7 rom - a soft reset fixes the issue. I'm currently using radio Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 and have switched around but haven't found one that fixes the problem...
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem??
Thanks, Luke.
I have the same problem sometimes. Will be glad if someone can explain!
Ive also experienced this, disappears after reboot or sometimes if i turn the screen on-off a couple of times, kinda weird.
Glad to see others are having this problem - seems to be so rare but I cannot find a solution. Would be interested to see if it still occurs now with standard wm6.5.
Anyone else experiencing this or have some idea of a fix?
i too have this problem.many times screen just go off like greyscale.can anyone help?
One more with the same problem...
Never had it with my currentrom (Hyperdroid) until I've read this thread.
Bump for wisdom.
Are you morons really that stupid
Get the screen out of the sun and away from hot surfaces you dumb bastards and it wont happen, it isn't a nand but a screen issue.
With stupidity like that you will be admins of XDA in no time

Erm what the f*ck? No need for that. Any actually, it's not a screen issue, it's an issue in earlier ROM's (well from what I've experienced). Like flash Cotulla's Desire ROM and it happens a lot. I presume you don't really like XDA due to your username? Banned maybe? Why would you even bother making a new account and just trollin'? That's sad, lol.
I only had it when the first batch of ROM's came out. Never withing the past month and a half.
It's like the screen goes negative.
But yeah, there isn't a clear fix for it AFAIK, you should back-up everything on your ROM and try an up-to-date ROM and see if it's still happening. I doubt it.
having the same problem as well
usually happens after i wake up, so during its idle time which is kinda strange
i also noticed it started happening after i installed cracked widget locker, any of you using that?
It happenes to my phone quite regulary but only running android roms, i think around september 2010 it happened the first time. I suspeced my phone, but even after getting a new hd2 it happens sometimes. It usually just happens randomly, not after specific actions. Sometimes it stays only for some minutes and sometimes it can be only fixed with a reboot.
I'd really like to know when this bug will be fixed.
I was having exacly the same issues with my old build. But since im using CoreDroid this problem has dissappeard.
+1 I've only experience this twice, and not since December, but I found it weird both times. I think both times were during a phone-call. A reset worked.

Wow...another keyboard hero....you are so brave typing that, we are all in awe of how awesome and manly and strong and tough you are!!
ANYWAY......STFU...it's not a screen problem.
I too have this problem, and it is my 2nd HD2 and happens VERY rarely, but does happen and has happend on both of them.
OH, and Mr Tough Guy....I live in the UK...VERY rarely get warm weather over here, so it AINT the sun.
You, Sir = FAIL.

Same here happens once or twice a month no big deal though
Sent from my HD2
I'm currently running imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0 since a month or so, the pale screen appears sometimes up to 2-3 times on one day and then not for several days. A reboot allways fixes it, sometimes it fixes itself after some minutes.
But i really find it annoying.
This happened to me in most desire/desire hd sense builds.
Now, I use the official hd2 MIUI and gingerbread seems to solve the issue.
Hi, i like to have some advice, i'm having some issues with my N10 and i like to know another opinion.
A friend of mine brought for me the N10 from Google (US), and send it to me (Mexico), so right now the N10 its in Mexico.
-The accelerometer has some kind of miscalibration, because the gps never says the right direction i'm going, some driving games turn themself to the right and when i try to take a photosphere, the gray tiles of the bottom are always unaligned.
-I have a dead (or exited) pixel (very tiny) it's always light blue, almost white. It notices on black backgrounds and 100% brightness.
-The screen gets warm on 100% screen brightness (i don't know if it's normal)
-It gets DAMN hot when i'm having a videocall (Hangouts or anything), if i'm recording video, or anything that uses the camera, asi if i was gaming Nova 3 or something, sometimes the device froze and reboot.
-Lately, if i'm recording a video with the led light on, the led blinks and the video freeze when it does.
I've already tried factory reset's, unlocked the bootloader, used Paranoid Android, AOSP of Mr Robinson's, used KTManta Kernel, Trinity Kernel (with the more stable results) and now i'm back stock with the bootloader re-lock. The issues had persisted.
If it was your's, do you return it?
And if it so... What should i do? Call Google? Or should i send it back to my friend and ask him to help me for the warranty? Do i need to be the original owner?
Someone knows the Warranty Number? Do they speak spanish? sorry, but i'm a bit lost.
Thanks for your time and help. Anything would be appreciated.

Could try recalibrating the censor, but thats only 1 issue maybe solved
Likely in
settings>advanced>censors>calibrate
Requires a flat surface & .5 seconds of your time (minus the 2-5seconds it takes to get to the setting)
Or similar , but with dead pixal n crap, ye if its under warrenty, exchange it
Warrenties are there for a reason, use n abuse em while you got em, trust me, when its up, you will wish you did xD

1 - try recalibrating it like suggested before
2 - That's a real problem, however I don't believe you should send to warranty for that if it doesn't annoy you, however if you don't like do it!
3 - 100% screen brightness is really normal to be hot, almost every device is like this.
4 - Mine used to get really hot, with the update to 4.3 became better.
5 - Weird... That's probably a hardware issue for sure!
My opinion: if the dead pixel is really a problem and you intend to use this tablet for recording videos, I believe you should send it back to your friend, it's a more sure way that warranty will work. Now if they aren't really an issue, I believe it will be only waste of money sending a package to international shipping, also remember it can take some good time to arrive, at least here in Brazil it can take from 1-3 months to arrive something from US. Well, as the user above me said "Warranty exists to be used and abused." If you're not happy with your product send it back!

I received my N10, opened the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted.
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
No I re-locked it, unrooted it and I am running stock 4.3: same problem
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. I'm past the 15 day return period and the overall experience of sending it back fromhere would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
Thoughts?

Call Samsung Repair Center (it's free by Skype) - +18553926398
It's a dedicated line for NEXUS devices. They told you how to manage a warranty request. But they can send back repaired device only to the US address (I had similar problem, but I am from Poland, so maybe for Mexico they have some other rules).
warranty dont take the device back for only one pixel. i know that the limit is minimum 5 pixels
Hi everybody, I have a Moto X Pure (XT1575) with Stock ROM 6.0, and I'm having this weird issue. Every time I play some video on fullscreen, no matter what app, display turns off after a few seconds... And what's weirder, audio never stops playing and if I move the phone a little bit, screen turns on again... It's like the compass or gyro sensor has something to do with it... I was thinking about Moto app being responsible for this, so I turned on and off every option related to the Screen over there, in every possible combination...
Any other person with this rare issue??
Greetings!
did you solve your problem? I have the same issue as you. would you like to share your experience please?
I get this issue every once in a while. I just solve it by restarting the device. I am not sure what triggers it. I watch a lot of video on my phone every day and this only happens maybe once or twice a month. A google search will show that its been a known issue for a long time now.

No problem. In other forums people have suggested turning off Moto display and/or adaptive brightness but that has not worked for me. It still keeps happening occasionally. I Hope it's something that will be fixed in Android 7.
hope so, but it still need waiting for several months , and since my phone is Asian version, I guess I have to wait for much longer times... if your problem is solved after updating to 7.0, would you please to let me know? thank you!

Will do.
I received a Z17 a few days ago and have really struggled with it. The phone feels really good but I am finding operation really difficult - the screen seems excessively sensitive. Most of the time when I touch or sweep the screen it register multiple touches - I hear multiple ticks. More often than not the app just tapped on opens then immediately closes (not force closing just going into background). Operating the phone is near impossible.
Is there a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity?
Short video showing the problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpP6t2C3xeM

I don't have that issue. My screen issue is that it's too dark. I have to put it over 75% brightness or higher. I have a Bluboo Maya Max that also have an LCD screen from JDI that is pretty bright at 25% level.
Brightness seems OK here - although I might not be the best person as I typically run my screens at minimum/very low brightness unless I am out in the sun.
The sensitivity issue is driving me nuts though.
Bee
Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.
Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.
Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

i will receive my Z17 on Tuesday... then, for my part, i will answer again.
actually i have an off topic question: u can use google chrome?
if yes, how?
any other google apps?

Yes - chrome works. You will need to get from apkmirror or similar.
Like others I tried installing google framework & play but this didn't work. Google music would run but unless you have local files you can't do anything with it.
I REALLY want to like this phone but so far it just isn't usable as a daily driver.

I have the same problem, exactly as you describe it! It appears that it's the Recent Apps button that has the problem (at least on my phone) as it is the only one that activates on its own. It also seems as if it "accumulates" button presses when left alone, so it has to "release" them during the first couple of minutes that you pick it up again. Then it is more or less ok.

I was hoping the same but this is not the case unfortunately. Problem is still there with the latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.4). It's a shame, it's a great phone otherwise but this bug is driving me mental
Not just me!
Sort of pleased someone else has the same problem! Agree that it isn't fixed in RR. Hopefully there will eventually be a solution.
I tend to deal with it by holding the phone between my two palms (i.e. holding my palm fully across the screen) for a second or so when I pick the phone up after it has been sat for a while. This seems to reduce the sensitivity (or remove static build up?) and things work normally.
Of course this shouldn't be necessary and not something you want to do when trying to answer a call.

Hello Boboskins
Can't access to your video
Sadly still not found a solution. I have tried RR (up until about 10 days ago) and now using Mokee. Appreciate your comments on the recent updates - I will take a look at the log in case the latest RR updates solve anything.
EDIT: Ursus91, just took a look and Photobucket appears to have stopped allowing 3rd party views. I will upload somewhere else and update the link once I am done.
@boboskins : thanks, it should be helpful to understand the problem you encounter. I'm not sure to understand. And I'm still waiting to use the phone every day
I have the same problem
Same problème here ! When i use the phone it seems it close app or back like i hit the button. :/ Really annoying :s
Hello,
I have the same problem too. The sole solution from GeekB is to return the phone for repairing...
I have it sometimes on the left button (in the major cases), the middle button has actually no problems, the right, sometimes.
I use the middle button to come back to "the main view" (icons) and then, the left button seems going alive.
I'm not sure it is a hardware problem
Edge gestures issue
Greetings!
I've just started using Nubia Z17 Lite and found out that the specific edge gesture to control the brightness level doesn't work on my unit. Does anyone know if this is a bug that can be resolved by an update or did anyone have the same issue and has fixed it?
I'm quite sure the problem isn't with the hardware because other edge gestures seem to work fine.
Thanks ?
Nubia Z17 black screen
Good evening. I own a Nubia Z17 8gb ram 128gb rom and today had a problem. His screen is black and the LED on the menu button is on. It obeys no command. He did not fall, everything perfect. Could someone help me with this problem?
