So I've had the vibrant freeze on me about 3 or 4 times out of the 2-3 weeks I've had it so far. It's gone black with the bottom four buttons still lit but it wouldn't shut of via the power button or respond to any other buttons either. Also, one time it froze yesterday after I did a master reset through the factory reset option. This time it froze while I was trying to do a speed test, the screen stayed on in the speed test window but buttons were once again nonresponsive. I haven't replicated it yet though. I have to pull the battery to get it restarted.
Another issue I've experienced a couple of times is the wifi would freeze when I turn it off through the power widget (my normal method of toggling wifi). It says that wifi is turning off but it stays in that state and never actually does. The green light would dim on the power widget as though it's turning off but it sticks there and under wifi info it just says it's turning off. When this happen, wifi will neither turn on nor off and just becomes unresponsive. I have to restart the vibrant to get wifi back to normal.
Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on these problems?

has any solution been found for this ?? i have similar freezing issues with my vibrant .. i found one possible culprit listed on another site .. there is a way to disable the TeleNavGPS app (as you cannot uninstall) .. it is supposed that this interferes with the phone to the point of complete failure
Are you running stock 2.2 from Kies? I had exactly the same problems.

You could try backing up and doing an ODIN flash to KA6. I've had similar lockups with some builds in the past but they are fairly infrequent. Currently running stock KB1 rooted with KA6 radio and it has been smooth for a long while now.
I've tried some of the 2.2.1 Roms, but I absolutely need wifi calling so I stick with stock.

I have the same issue. On my second Vibrant running stock 2.2. About to send this one back for warranty as well. Mine will freeze from the lock screen, either stuck on the screen and the display stays on, or the screen wont come back on from idle.

Have you tried another ROM? I thought my phone was broken with stock 2.2. Haven't had issues with Bionix.

No other ROMs, I know there are a lot of good ones, but I shouldn't have to root my phone for it to work correctly. Within a week of this current Vibrant I was having these issues. I didn't purchase the Vibrant to flash ROMs, I bought it because of the specs to remain stock. On a side note..I was told after 3 warranty replacements within 90 days I will be able to get another phone from them.

Yeah, know what you mean. It is silly that stock is just broken. Hopefully the OTA will be better than the Kies release. (Are they doing an OTA?)
Maybe they'll swap for a Nexus S.

im rooted on android 2.2 but stock rom stock modem stock everything just root. i have had the same wif issue as the op. i just go to settings>wireless settings> wifsettings and turn on wifi that way. if you notice it will say error. 90% of the time this works and you will not have to reboot. i switch from wifi to 3g a lot. i have not figured the cause just yet but this is a work around for now.
as far as deleting the bloatware i rooted and deleted all that crap like sims, and other apps that i do not/will not ever use. there is a thread on which ones are safe to delete. be careful about deleting apps that are used by google such as google talk.
Unreal, Samsung. I wanted to sell my Vibrant, but can't get anywhere near what it's worth because of these stupid issues.

I'm having the same problems!!!
I am now on the 3rd replacement (that's the 4th T-Mobile's Samsung Vibrant 3G!!!) and still having problems.
My phone will just be sitting on my desk at work and I'll hear it buzz a couple times. I know that buzz. It's something "Force Closing" in the background. I will pick my phone up and it will be unresponsive. It will light up the 4 buttons on the bottom of the device, but nothing else. Normally, it will then immediately start rebooting. It will go through the usual start-up screens. It will then show the status bar at the top; battery life, alarm clock, signal, 3G/WiFi, Media Scanning progress. However, the rest of the screen will be black. It will then vibrate once, then 2 more times and do it all over. It repeats this at least once for around an hour EVERY DAY!!! Other times, it will not restart on it's own and I will have to hold down the power button to manually do so.
I have also gone through ALL the troubleshooting I can imagine. All logs, history, texts, cache... EVERYTHING... has been cleared.
Please forgive me for asking, but it appears that I am to possibly root my phone for a resolution... is this true?
Also, has anyone heard of this "3 Returns Within 90 Days" policy with T-Mobile? I could easily do this with this phone. Has anyone had any luck getting them to do that?
My device constantly freezes when I try to unlock it. The lock screen comes up when I push the power button and it's randomly completely non-responsive. I will lock the screen again with the power button and repeat the process and it will then work.
Anyone else having this problem on their Nexus 4?
I've tried disabling lock screen widgets with no help. All I am left to wonder is whether it's from an application I've installed.
If I want to completely reset the phone and remove any fragments of old applications, is doing a factory reset enough to get this done?

I spoke too soon. My phone just locked up while in a deep sleep overnight. I had to Power + vol down to restart it.
+1 . Mine generally freezes overnight. When I got to unlock my nexus 4 to check the time I find the phone frozen on the lock screen then the phone reboots itself. I did a factory restore, did a factory re-flash, and nothing seems to help. Today I shut off google now to see if that was the issue. Reading through various threads it seems the problem is widespread and across multiple nexus devices including the nexus 7 and galaxy nexus. This gives me some faith that the phone itself maybe fine. Google please fix ASAP. I need my alarm in the morning, not a frozen phone. :crying:

Just to add, I did a bug report and called tech support. Nothing I mentioned seemed like news to my tech nor did he have any recommendation other then to RMA. I told him I would give the phone another week to see if anything improves its stability. I still have my Gnex as a backup. I have not noticed any issues with 4.2 on my Gnex but then again it's been in my backpack since my nexus 4 arrived. Perhaps I will leave my Gnex on as we'll to see if I run into any issues with it.
Lock screen freezes once or twice every day, the fix is easy, just press the sleep button again, but its still annoying. 4.2 has pretty bad quality control.
i had the same issue on my old N4. Especially when i got incoming call, lock screen freezes all the time
I will get replacement tho..

I had the same issue. Seemed to be related coming out of the lockscreen after having done some BT music playback. Anyway, I had this "lockscreen widget disable" app installed. Removed it again, and now I have not had any lockups in the last 3 days.
I'm glad to know I'm not alone here. I did a full reset and I still have the problem. I get a lock 4-5 times a day.
I do use bluetooth and google music...
Knowing other people are having this issue really makes me think it's software and not hardware.
i notice that when mine freezes on the lock screen, [i use a pattern], that pressing the power button to turn the screen off then back on solves the problem.

This is the only disappointment for me, having to press the power button a few times in order to unlock this damn phone.
Power to turn screen on, frozen touch, power to turn screen off, power to turn it on again and the it registered touch.
I am surprise not many have this problem.
A friend of mine ordered at the same time as I did, and does not have this problem.
Feels so stupid having to turn the screen on and off a couple of times to get into the homescreen.
Especially when friends asked to play with the phone and the damn thing wont unlock, and I have to explain to them the process of unlocking the phone.
I want to rma, but shoot, might not get a replacement till next year.

RMA won't help a software defect, which it is 100%, it's freaking annoying and makes me think google literally makes the phones and never uses it to see if it has any bugs.
Same problem here. So it is hardware related?!

I think I've had it happen 2 or 3 times so far. I don't think it's hardware related, it seems to be software to me.
I figured out the first time it happened, if I grab and slide up to launch Google Now, it lets me unlock it. So it definitely isn't hardware, as it is registering touches.
I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my new Verizon GS5.
Scenario: I am doing something such as reading a text, decide I'm done and lock the screen, and then a second or two later realize I forget to check something and hit the lock button again to turn it back on. Most of the time when I do this the physical buttons will light up but the screen will stay black, and a few seconds later the physical buttons will turn off. This will happen a few times until finally the screen turns on and I see the lock screen.
I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Nexus (rooted and running Kit Kat) phone prior to the GS5 and figured it was my old hardware- is this some Kit Kat bug?
Thanks for any input
Same issue here. But I can't figure out if it was due to switching to ART or not.
We can wait others reply with this i hope someone will post a tip on this kind of problem.
I switched to art after installing apps and I'm ha ing this issue didn't really play with phone much until after switching to ART. Is anyone having this issue not on ART?

Yes this is happening to me running Dalvik.
Happened just now to me. It has happened a few times.

Had this a time or two. It's like the power button doesn't register or something. Yes I switched to art.
I have found though that if I hold power for a second it pretty much fixes itself without having to do anything crazy like yanking the battery or restarting the phone.
Imo: not a big deal, doesn't seem to happen a lot for me.

I'm having the same issue for the past two days; although, I am not switching between apps or anything (only trying to use the phone). No display, but get sound/vibration from buttons and LED lights from soft keys. Unfortunately, both times required me to yank the battery. My S5 is completely stock (not using ART) and have manually reinstalled my apps from old device. Any suggestions?
I am not experiencing this and I have switched to ART...

I hope this isn't the case. Once again I experienced these EXACT same issues with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.4.2. I can't help but think it might be some app causing it since not everyone has it.
I am noticing this every once in a while. But it's mostly right after I shut the screen off after a large processed app or task, and then remember something I forgot to do and try and turn it back on and there is some lag bringing up the screen again.

I was about to return my S5 to Verizon for this very reason. I haven't switched to art and have been having the screen go black on me, you can tell the phone is on because the physical buttons are lit. It seems to happen to me alot when I take the phone off the charger and hit the on button. I will hear the phone rebooting, but not see the boot animation. Thats when I do a battery pull. Holding the button doesn't do it. I also have had a few random reboots. Thats ok...I'm going to try every root method under the sun..gggrrrr..lol
I've started to try to uninstall apps to see if I can narrow down the issue. It still plagues me at least half the time I try to use my phone.
This is happening to me as well. Not as often. I'd say once a day, but I have to pull my battery to restart it. I did 2 factory resets and am now using a new google account as per verizons request and I added apps slowly. I have been fine until I put a second launcher on. I installed the GEL launcher but did not use it just to see if having multiple launchers could cause this glitch. Could it be this? Is everyone else using a different launcher? Also the only time I ever had it happen while messing with the phone was two times while working in light flow. Any one else connected to those two happenings? Trying to narrow down what could be causing this.
Running ART here, I'm not sure if I'm getting this problem, but I have realized some latency from pressing either the home or power button and the screen turning on. Not sure what causes that lag, but it's a good almost full second whereas my S4 would be instant

I would assume this is NOT the physical hardware issue, but the software, I heard somewhere that Samsung version of KitKat 4.4.2 is quite buggy and glitchy.

I had the issue before and after switching to ART
Anyone have any further ideas yet? I'm not running ART bit I was able to have it happen again when I had Google experience launcher installed. Removed it and it hasn't happened for two days. I'm installing Google launcher again now to see if that was causing the issue.
Anyone else with further developments?
Let me preface this by saying this is my experience. I am passing this off to see if others are experiencing the same thing. I am not dissing this phone because I really like it.
I have seen more than 10 random reboots with this phone. The crazy part is when the phone reboots, I lose settings.... Like a lot of them. I recently experienced and my notification bar started malfunctioning where the settings would not pull up and I could not long press panels. I finally had to factory reset my phone.... After that, it rebooted again this morning while I was listening to the radio.
At this point I am going to have start a log to try to correlate where the problem might be.
This is very concerning. I have never experienced anything like this even with custom Roms.
Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this.

I've read that other people are experiencing this too. Hopefully mine doesn't come like this. I would recommend returning it and getting a new one. This is ridiculous that this is happening
Try removing all apps you installed and see if you cant pin it down to an app but if all said and done and phone is stock meaning you installed no additional apps and still see it happen then to me sounds like a Hardware problem and you should return it for a replacement.

The beta version (6.0.0) of the IHeartRadio app seems to have fixed my reboot problem (which was happening on both bluetooth and earphone modes).

My experience was different. I didn't have any random reboot but I did get the phone just hang.
Before my Springbreak trip I was testing out a sport camera and downloaded an app that could remotely control the camera. Everything seemed to be working smoothly during the test. Then when I was done, I shut down the camera, turned off the phone and started packing up.
Then I needed to use the phone, so I turned it on.. it's turned on but I couldn't do anything, the screen was unresponsive.. I couldn't swipe or press anything... I attempted to reboot it... the power button still worked... the reboot menu came on but I couldn't press anything... I still could turn the screen on and off and brought up the reboot menu.. but jsut couldn't do anything with it..
Only one option was available which is to force it reboot by holding Power and Down volumne.
That was weird, especially on a brand new device.
I've seen it reboot a few times, and it is especially annoying when you are trying to show your device off and it reboots...in front of people...randomly. I am not sure if I want to return it just yet because it is a Touchwiz/android bug that I have experienced on other devices as well. It MAY be an app issue but I can't pinpoint it yet.
I was trying to launch my DJI Phantom app and it just hung/restarted - got stuck on tmobile screen and it wouldn't let me do a hard-reset! Had to wait a few mins and it recycled.

This is exactly what happened to mine, I was going to return it and put it on the charger and it rebooted. Knock on wood, No problems since. I'm going to keep a close eye on this in case I need to exchange.
Yes, same here. Bluetooth headset with iHeartRadio makes the phone reboot and lose some settings. Maybe a bug with iHeartRadio and 6.0.1.
Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
