Hello,
I have had noticed this for a while but though it was normal. Till I am starting to notice that it is taking the GNote screen longer and longer to "warm up".
What is happening is when I leave the GNote in deep sleep for a while (the longer i keep it in deep sleep the longer it takes to warm up) and then wake it up, I get a green screen, but after a few seconds the green colouring will slowly fade away until it is back to normal.
If I put the note to sleep and open it back up in about 2-5 seconds, it will wake up perfectly fine but as soon as I start leaving it in sleep mode for about 5 mins, I can start noticing the green tint when waking it up. When I wake it up after 5 mins, it takes about 1 second to get back to normal, when when I leave it for a good 3 hours, it takes about 5-6 seconds before the screen return to normal.
I just want to know if this is "normal" as I can not find any thread on this forum or in google about this. None of my friends has this phone so I am unable to check theirs. Sorry about the long explanation, I just want to make sure you guys know what I am talking about.
Nope....that doesnt sound right....ive had my phone 4 a month now and cant say i saw ths issue....sounds like a faulty screen to me.
If ur on warranty....ask 4 a replacement. If not, try changing the rom.
I tried a number of things to see if it fixes the problem. I first tried using the K7 deodexed rom, then I tried changing the kernel to Abyss. Now I am running Rocket ROM with Abyss 3.5b.
But I do remember that I didn't have this problem in the first week. I think I started noticing this after I rooted my phone when it was on XKK9 but I wouldn't think rooting my phone would cause something like this unless it was just coincident.
I guess no one has any idea why this might be happening. I might send an email to Samsung and see what they think.

So within the last two days I have been having problems with my phone coming out of sleep mode, just to give a little more information when i hit the power button to turn the screen on and go to unlock it, the screen doesn't respond and fades back out. The task bar stays on at the top for about 10 seconds as well. SOMEONE please help lol. I've only had this phone for about a week and this is very frustrating. (phone is rooted btw)
Thanks in advance
If you're having touchscreen malfunctions, then you should exchange it. You've had it one week, you can do that. I will say though, the screen timeout for the lock screen is 5 seconds long. As in, when I wake my phone if I don't touch it, five seconds later it fades out again. It sounds like you're having more serious issues however mentioning the notification bar staying on the screen like that. I recommend you look into exchanging it. Make sure you restore it and unroot it before you do that.
Unroot thread
I was just wondering if anyone had these issues, it didn't appear to do it the first couple days I had it, and I've installed a ton of apps since then. I un-installed some things today and it seems to have subsided, i'm still wondering if anyone else has had problems like this. It may have had to do with a task manager, but i can't be sure. Any insight is appreciated.
hey boys
thought I'd post this to be sure my phone doesn't have a defect.
Sometimes. and I mean Sometimes. Maybe 1 reboot out of 10...
I turn off my phone.
When I turn it back on, my phone vibrates exactly 7 times and stops.
I cannot boot my phone back unless I remove/restore the battery.
Hardware failure imminent or simple bug?
You should plain straightly get your phone checked in Customer Centre- most probably a hardware problem!
hasn't happened since.
when I look back, it happened when I powered on my phone within 2 seconds of the phone completely powering off ...
if I want 1-2 extra seconds, no problemo.
i have the exact same problem. no idea why either.
For what it's worth, I notice that when the phone is going through the boot process right about the time the softkey lights under the screen light up the screen vibrates ever so slightly. I imagine this is normal behavior, perhaps the digitizer or the haptic feedback (engine/service/whatever) starting up. It's a very slight tremor that you might even miss if you're holding the phone in hand.
Is this similar to the issue you two have seen, only stronger?
I've got a Captivate running base Andromeda 3. I believe I had this issue prior to that, but I cannot be sure. Here's the behavior:
I use the Google Desk Clock overnight while I charge my phone. In the Morning, when I unplug it, everything works fine, regardless of whether I let the screen time out or press the power button to turn it off. Somewhere in the next hour, it may be 3 minutes it may be closer to an hour, the screen decides it WILL NOT turn back on.
The phone is still on, the softkeys still light up, the phone still rings and receives messages. I can even answer the call and talk, just based on knowing where the answer slider is.
Interestingly, if I wait for the call to STOP, the screen will come back ON, but then won't really work. It wants to hang and/or freeze on whatever given home screen you come back to.
Holding volume up plus power to force reboot fixes the issue until the next morning.
I had other issues a long time ago on another rom with LauncherPro, and had switched to ADW. When I mentioned this issue in the Andromeda thread, it was suggested I switch to Zeam. The problem persists and interestingly, about 50% of the time when the phone turns back on, Zeam has decided I only need 3 instead of 5 home screens. Editing the setting brings back the home screens and their setup, weird.
I thought maybe it was Clockr, not clockr.
Using BattStat, SiMi Clock, GVoice, and Keyring widgets. I can't imagine any of my installed apps would make a difference, I'll list them if necessary.
I believe Andromeda (Froyo?) does some weird things with shutting down apps, I'm wondering if it possibly has something to do with that. The problem never happens again during the day, so clearly it either has to do with charging or with the GDesk Clock, or both. Happy to hear any thoughts. Please?
One more thing: While the screen is off but the phone is on, it DESTROYS my battery. Seriously, it'll eat 15% in 20 minutes.

I've read something about that couple days ago. If you do a little search, I'm sure you'll find it (can't remember what the thread was called)
Also, black screen usually happens with UV. which brings me to ask.. Do you OC/UV?
Andromeda doesnt do anything differently than any other rom including stock when shutting down apps. there was nothing changed that would change that behavior from any version of 2.2
Unless andromeda does onboard OC/UV, then no, I don't.
Seriously nothing that I can find has changed. I've scoured the boards looking for similar threads, but I suppose I'll start over.
Oc/uv is not available in andromeda without flashing a different kernel

Hello
One night I was using the phone without doing anything special , some video watching . Phone went dark, tried to reboot. Blank Screen and the capacitive buttons flash. Left it to charge all night, in the morning it started but after I pressed the lock button blank screen but phone still working and receiving input.
Took the battery and SD card out left it for 30 seconds then started it again, Stuck at LG logo. Repeat , phone started ... Pressed lock button once then again to unlock , screen wouldn't start.
Used LG Mobile Update recovery tool to restore it ... Didn't solve problem. Sometimes it does not even start , just flashes buttons, other times it does without screen and last all works even the screen until first time goes dark , in the last two cases I can use LG On-Screen Phone without trouble, in doing so I installed a proximity sensor test app to see if it was causing my screen to not come back on , the sensor looked fine.
Facts:
1. Two day old Optimus Black p970, worked like a charm until stated problem
2. The app that checked proximity sensor showed the sensor to be free when my hand wasn't on it
3. The warranty laws in my country are idiotic so I would do or buy anything rather than send it so they can give me a new one in 3 months.
4. Tried another battery from another Optimus, fully charged nothing different.
5. Stock rom.
Do any of you fine people have some ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance
Hi there...
Sometime ago [1 year and a half or so~] I worked at a cell refurbishing facility [there were samsung, motorola and palm devices from sprint] and that problem you have was quite usual. Blank screen, still the phone is somehow usable like reciving calls...
There's this thing called "flex" which is the connector between board and display and that is what we fix, most of the time not even "fix it" just getting it in the right place...
This happen because of excesive use in those sliding or clamshell devices, in OB could be for overheating, you could try to fix it yourself or pay $20 usd [that's what it cost here]
Would that connector explain the fact that sometimes it doesn't start at all? hmm I am thinking now and I guess if it moves and somehow the phone feels it has not display connected it could fail to start... Anyhow thank you
actually yes, it could be only for the flex [some devices don't start at all when not having display or keyboard if there's any] but since our OB is not sliding nor clamshell type probably was overheating.
you say you have stock rom, well now I'm using CM7 but when I was at stock and after using the phone a few minutes it felt warm and some more minutes [like playing gunbros where you need to use both hands and a lot of movement] it was really hot and had to stop playing for a while.
what I'm trying to say is that because of overheating flex could have moved, but because of overheating too may have move something else, you couldn't belive the huge number of micro-things that reside in the board.
so if it's only the flex, it's an easy task to do, just unplug and plug again, but if it's something else it's quite hard to know just looking at it, you need to do some electric measures and stuff, the recomendation is to take it to a tech center or something
Hi. I Have same issue. Two times when i press power buton, butons flashing and screen still black. Phone not responding. I must remove baterry.

Hi there, got the same problem too with my optimus black. Screen goes flickering, shut down don't do any good, and the phone temperature is kinda hot. But in my case it work after I clean some cache and data in the phone storage through LG OSP. After that, the phone temperature back to normal and the phone screen back to normal also. I believe that in my case the phone is overheated.
I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange
