A couple of times, also on the galaxy nexus. TWRP, right? Probably some glitch, nothing to worry about.

[INFO] Random Reboots aren't True Reboots

I think many of you are misinterpreting the "Random Reboots" you're experiencing. Unless the screen goes completely blank, then it is not a true reboot, if all it does is flash back to boot animation it is just the graphical shell crashing.
Good point, I did notice that it booted up significantly faster than a full reboot when it happened to me before and that it only dropped to the boot animation.
That makes a lot of sense actually

Thanks for the suggestion - that does make some sense. Is there a way to verify this, though? In my case, my DInc will be in a stand on my desk - screen off, so I can't actually see what happens - when I'll hear it vibrate, and I'll notice the white HTC screen followed by the boot animation. It's only done this since I rooted, and it has done it with at least three of the ROMs I've used.

Yeah, same deal. I have learned to do "real" reboots, especially after rooting. What I mean is actually turning it off, counting to like 20 (maybe pull the battery), and then turn it back on.
Recently I had an issue with the capacitive buttons not lighting up at all so I tried a "quick" reboot (the kind that requires root) and it did nothing, then I tried a "real" reboot and they work fine now.
Agreed. I can confirm the Atrix is not doing a full reboot. I had a call on speaker phone then all of a sudden my screen showed the boot animation and I could hear the other person talking for an additional 15-20 sec while the phone finished "booting". Our conversation was not ended until the home screen came back up, at this point my bars/service dropped to no service. Also, I have not rooted or modified the Atrix, its stock.. w/LauncherPro+.

I had those "reboots" twice now. Once while using Maps and once while sitting on my desk not being used. I was also using LauncherPro+. I wonder if that might have been part of it. I stopped using LP+ and haven't had a "reboot" yet (knock on wood)

Does your screen flash when you turn it off?

When I hit the power button to shut the screen off, it flashes brightly before it goes off.
Wondering if this is a Nook Color thing in general, or just a CM7 thing. Is this related to the fact that the screen animation doesn't work on CM7 when using the current kernel? I heard that Dalingrin had the screen animation working in the early test kernel and wondered if this got rid of the screen flash as well.
FWIW, mine flashes also. I haven't researched the cause, though.
CM7.0.2 from SD, when I tap the power button, it fades over about half a second. No flash, although occasionally there's a flicker in the middle of the fade. Power on happens much quicker, but there is a bit of fade-in.
I did enable on and off animations, even though I didn't think they were supposed to work yet.
this is a CM7 thing. its a power off and on animation. if you dont like it you can turn it off in settings. personally i like it. it reminds me of the old CRT screens.

More specifically it's a 2.3 thing - but I think the problem is that it doesn't work the same as on other standard resolution screens so it just ends up 'flashing' rather than doing a fancy animation. Your solution is correct though.
Interesting. The on/off animations are off by default in the Encore build. I enabled them in the settings and still had the flash (as one would expect). However, once I disabled them again everything was fine. I wonder if this is another persistence bug, similar to airplane mode?
My screen flashes whether the screen animations are on or off, though to be fair it doesn't flash every time, definitely more often than not though.
Mine is more of a quick blink rather than an obvious flash. And it isn't consistent.
My screen flashes as well. It just started doing this yesterday and I've been running cm7 off my sd card for about a week with no other problems. Worse, sometimes the screen turns green and stays that way until I hit the N button. Any idea what this means and possibly how to fix it? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Which version of CM7 are you running? I haven't seen the flash or the green screen since I switched from 7.0.2 to nightly 86. Maybe it's coincidence, but it looks like the flash issue has been fixed.
(The power button does sometimes turn off the screen briefly then turn it right back on again -- hitting the power button a second time always turns it off.)

It's the CM7.0.3 stable version. Maybe I should do an update. I wasn't sure if that was the problem since it had just started doing this. Are you saying you've seen the green screen? Just curious because I can't find anything about it anywhere. Thank you for your response. I'm going to try out the nightly and see if that fixes the problem.
Mine does more of a quick flicker,i think its the screen off/on animation issue on the nook because the animation works fine on my droid incredible cm7

Actually, that's what mine does too. Sometimes there's a flash, but most of the time it's a quick flicker. If it's just the animation then I probably don't need to worry about it. It's just the green screen that worried me...though that only occurred when I kept messing with it. I haven't messed with it the past couple of days so I haven't seen the green screen. Maybe I was causing some kind of error.

Yup, I've seen the green screen. I don't remember what build I was on at the time because I looked at a bunch over a couple of days. It could have been 7.0.3.
Or maybe I messed up something on my nook, and flashing another build corrected it? Either way, I haven't seen it in a few weeks.

That's good that you haven't seen it in a while. And not that I want anyone else to suffer, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one. LOL. Hopefully that means I'll have an easy fix. I haven't seen it in a few days myself, so I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Most likely I'll update to a nightly. Thanks for the responses. Now I'm not worried about it anymore.

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] Screen Problem SGH-1337

So, just recently I had a problem with the phone when I tried turning on the screen but instead got small coloured pixels and the screen started glowing green. When I rebooted it rebooted normally but the screen stayed the same. It seemed like everything else but the screen display was working. Don't know if that makes sense to you guys. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Only problem I encountered with S4 wqs straight out of the box after connecting to a genie to transfer data for a customer the screen on the S4 just went haywire and snowy like an old tube tv. Other than that haven't seen anymore screen issues.

That's exactly how the screen looked. Do you have any idea how it could occur?

Honestly didn't happen till it was connected to the Genie. Other than that I am clueless.

Similar screen death problem
I have had an AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 for 2 weeks and love it. I was having a battery drain issue but powering off and back on seemed to fix it (also I am no longer ending the Google Play Music process from the Task Manager which may have caused the common "Media Server" battery drain I was having).
But today, I had a similar problem as the OP =(
Unlocked my phone (using the pattern to unlock) and it lagged as it tried to display the home screen. When the home screen showed up, the colors immediately went whacky, all white-washed and faded, then a half second later and the screen went black. Screen completely dead.
I can still hear sounds from the phones and see the status light so I know the rest of the phone is still working. It responds to me unlocking the phone and pressing the home, back, and settings button.
I will be taking my phone back to AT&T this evening but just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or solutions. I will post an update after visiting AT&T.

Random Reboots on Mi9t on MIUI 12

My Mi9t keeps freezing the screen flickers 3 or 4 times and then go to the lock screen. And sometimes after that happens it reboot into recovery mode by itself.
This Is happening couple of times a day
The frequency of this is increasing when using Uber app
That happened after MIUI 12 update

Yeah i guess this only happens while using uber wonder why?
The problem is I use uber 3 to 4 times a day everyday:crying:
I had the same after the latest update, I've did a factory reset and installed Al my apps once more. No problems after I did that.
Had it on 12.0.3.0 global when tapped Revoke USB authorizations developers settings. Phone blinked and went to the boot logo and then screen turned black. But after pressing power button screen lit up for a second on a boot logo but then went black again. Hard reboot solved everything
