Hi all
Anyone a clue why my screen gets on and off?
Any other screen would turn off in about 30 seconds and stays off
ya everyone will get the same. its in settings. you can modify by going into SETTINGS--->DISPLAY--->SLEEP.
Hi
I bought a Nokia 5, but every time I lock the screen the screen keeps flashing off and on. I tried going to settings - display - sleep, (but it doesn't allow me to switch it off completly, the least choice I have is 15 sec sleep, but it still keeps flashing off , on when screen is locked. Im afraid it will kill my battery faster... any suggestions.
I bought one for my girlfriend and this is the most annoying issue. I have tried everything. I thought that the screen protector is to blame, but it is not. Any other suggestions? I will send it for repair if it is not fixed.

Sorry to double post, but the issue has been fixed with the latest OTA. The screen does not turn on and off like before. No hardware reset was needed, so I guess it was a software issue fixed with the latest OTA from October. I tried contacting someone through the Support app on the phone, the solution was to either do a system reset or to send it to be repaired on warranty.

Hi all
Today my Omnia 7 keeps turning itself off. The behavior doesn't seem to be entirely predictable, but it happens when the screen shuts itself off to save power and when the light sensor shuts the screen off. It also happens when you plug headphones in, but it happens unpredictably as well.
I've tried taking the battery out and leaving it for a while, as well as some longshot ideas like setting a password and changing the timeout interval.
Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it? The place I bought it from are refusing to replace it, even though it's only a few months old, and I don't want to send it in for repair. (That's Buymobilephones.net btw - do not use).
Thanks
Hi
I am facing the same problem
Unfortunately, it seems that Omnia 7 isn't designed in a proper way, because you are the fifth guy face the problem form the same device.
I think Samsung should consider this and solve it
the problem is we don't know from where t this problem comes from
is ti hardware or software
but I think it hardware issue because while I was formatting process it just restart itself
if you have any news just tell us
Thanks for the reply
It also freezes every morning after disconnecting from the charger but not until I get in the car. lol. So I assume it's either when I put it in my pocket or take it out. I have to take the battery out and then the whole turning off thing starts. I've called Samsung who said they would repair it, but as you said it might be software related, so really I should try rolling back from 7008 to 7004 (and remove chevron) or update to NoDo properly. Either way I think getting it back to MS official would be a good starting point.
Thanks
i have almost the same problem. my omnia 7 keeps restarting every time i'm in an app or using ie or marketplace, sometimes is just showing the samsung logo and stays like that untill i remove the battery or do a hard reset.
these problem appeared after i updated to nodo 7392 from 7008 so i'm thinking it's a software problem, then i rolled back to 7004 thought everything was ok and it started restarting again.
so rolling back to other firmwares wont help, if anyone found the cause or a solution for this problem please let us know
Hi all,
I got my Nexus 7 from the Play Store a couple of months ago (one of the pre-orderers). The first time I turned it on, I noticed the screen slowly dimming and turning off during the boot animation. I would see the 'X' but it would slowly fade out, disappear totally and then reappear on full brightness. The screen then totally turned off after completing booting and I couldn't see anything. A couple of reboots later and the screen finally turned on which was great. The tablet would run anything perfectly after that except if I turned the brightness to the lowest setting which would cause the screen to turn off. This didn't bother me either since I always use it on full brightness anyway.
However, over the last couple of weeks I noticed the touchscreen becomes unresponsive after prolonged use. This made me decide to get it replaced. I called Google who said they would send me a replacement :victory:.
Here's the problem...Since I was rooted and running CWM recovery I decided to revert to the factory image for warranty purposes. So I reverted to stock and rebooted but I now have the same problem I had at the first boot. My screen won't turn on! I tried rebooting a couple of times to see if that would do it but it just happens everytime.The bootanimation completes and the screen just turns off. The problem is I can't relock my bootloader which is going to jeopardise my warranty IMO since my tablet is scheduled for return on the 12th of this month (10/12/2012).
Well finally could anyone please help? Has anyone had the same issue? What steps did you take?
Sorry for the long post. I'm just worried that I'm going to be stuck with the defective tablet which I worked hard to save the money for in the first place
BUMP. I really need any help I can get since i've got less than 48 hours to get it fully stock before the courier comes to pick it up for RMA.
Did you follow this guide to return to stock/relock the bootloader? I had this exact same problem and your best bet would be to get an RMA.
Actually I did perform all those steps but I just can't seem to enter the stock recovery. I just keep getting the Android with the red triangle. Thanks for the suggestion anyways. I'll give you a thanks just for that

Sounds to me as if your auto brightness is stuck....wake it up and shine a flashlight or something on the screen. If you can see your screen, go into settings and turn off your auto brightness.
Well I did what you said and guess what IT WORKED! Thanks a million. I'm really dumb for not having thought of 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?!

Any updates on this issue? My lock screen still freezes.
Never had one, probably a rogue app.
You might have 3rd party application on the lock screen that does this?

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.
Hi all,
My first post here and I'm posting it at a pretty depressing mood.
I've just bought my phone from the states and brought it back to Hong Kong for my own use. Last night, I've been toying it for a couple hours with everything going perfectly fine, but suddenly the phone turned itself off. Everytime I try to turn it on the phone just turns itself back off again. I couldn't do anything.
Has anyone come across the same problem? I've done a hard reset but to no avail, the phone still shuts down right after turning on, it's pretty frustrating to turn on your phone just to see it telling you it's turning off, really frustrating tbh.
I've called google and requested for a replacement so problem's kinda solved for the moment. I just want to know if I'm alone here because I've pressed the operator a couple times and she refused to tell me if mine was an isolated incident or not, for obvious reasons.
I haven't done anything to the phone except installing a couple apps like Aldiko, whatsapp, facebook and a Chinese keyboard (since I'm Asian apparently). I've installed all of them in my old phone and none of them caused any problems so I just want to know if I'm alone and what do you guys think the root of the problem is, or solutions to it if there are any.
Thanks a lot!

Mine is happening the samething, glad Im not alone. My was running fine on rooted Modaco custom rom for a few weeks then all of sudden the phone auto shut down like it has its mind. I installed Cantonese keyboard and camera mod too and some other apps. Currently Im tracking down the source. Now I have franco kernel and madaco rom on clean install running with no other app install to see if it will shut down or not. If it does Im going back to stock to see if samething happen.
I have to boot it couple times until it doesnt shut down itself anymore. Sometimes it be stable for couple hours or couple minutes or instantly.
I have the same problem, Just got my phone from google everything is stock nothing has been changed and the phone just turns it self off and then i cant turn it back on for sometime.
Does anyone know what causing this problem?
Mine also turns off multiple times a day, sometimes by itself, sometimes during a call, often when taking a picture.
Today every single time I took a picture it would shut down.
I'm f*cking pissed at waiting 5 weeks to get a useless phone... and god know how long it will take to get a replacement if I ca get one.
Hi guys, I have the same problem too
I've used my Nexus 4 for 2 weeks without any kind of problem when suddenly it turned itself off. If I try to turn it on, the phone just turns itself back off again and I haven't solved the problem even with a reset.
But I've noticed that the battery doesn't charging even with the charging cable. I think the phone detects that hasn't enough battey level and for that reason turns itself back off.
Do you think it can be an harware or software problem?
Damn - i have recently been having the same problem! It only happens (so far) when i'm charging the phone overnight. I wake up and it's off and takes a few tries to get it running again. I'm rooted with stock. Does this mean we all need replacements? Ugh!

The exact same thing happened to me as well. I charged it overnight, unplugged it and it was off. I couldn't even turn it on again - I had to keep holding the power button for ~15 seconds plus try plugging/unplugging the phone to the charger etc. and it finally powered on. I orginally thought it may have been a kernel issue since I had just flashed Franco r29. However, looking at his thread, nobody had that issue.
I'm glad I'm not alone but this issue really worries me, especially if it is a hardware fault. Google will replace it but I don't feel like going through the fuss since God knows when the replacement will arrive. I hope this get's 'magically' fixed as it has only happened to me once so far.

You know, I'm looking at my battery history (using battery monitor) and i see the period that the phone was shut down and then when i powered it back up this morning and i notice the battery temp is extremely high so it probably has to do with the phone shutting down due to overheating, which obviously shouldn't happen. I wasn't using the oem charger, so I'll switch to that for the time being and keep an eye on temp. Hopefully it's a software bug and not a faulty battery because it should definitely be cutting off charging when it reaches 100%.

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.
