[HELP] my touch screen of milestone is crash

my touch screen was crazy when I get my phone out of my pants. I did not touch the screen but it still automatically run the app and drag the taskbar up and down .........

nobody is like me???

care to share more details and/or what ROm you're running? 2.2?

it happened randomly to me too, with any rom 2.1 2.2, but I still didn't figure the reason out yet..

Same for me.I have cronos 1.6.1 on phone with adw launcher.But happens only ones or twice.

You guys probably overclocked it too much damaging the touchscreen.

this makes no sense mate. The overclock affects the cpu and not the touch screen. Anyway I didn't use any extreme overclock, beside using for a while the Telus Lite with 1.1ghz oc stock. And well I barely played any game, just a lot of emails and surfing on the web, very few calls. I noticed it happens when i move too much, like dancing or when i leave it on the shelf for the night and by the morning it acts crazy

I used to have that issue with stock 2.1 roms.
CM6, Sense mod, fastest Eclare and now MIUI does not bring that night mare back to me.
Also, if you charge using a 2-pin socket [the one without the earthed pin, popular in Asia], it'll show up.

OP needs to be a little more clear, but let me say my results.
Ever since flashing 2.2.1 SBF and then applying a few Froyo Mods and even goign back to ECLAIR,
I noticed that multitouch screws up. Sometimes it things I have a finger on the screen already, so by putting a finger on, it does a pinch zoom on me even though I only have 1 finger on it. Then sometimes it doesn't let me press an icon on my screen insisting my finger is elsewhere. Other times the notification bar starts getting pulled down randomly.
Perhaps Kadalban can explain his Multitouch fix, but for me it seemed to solve a lot of issues. Granted it was only pushed out in CM6 12/4/2010, which gives me 1 day to test so far, but some of those freak-incidents have been disappearing. You'd have to give me 3-5 days to conclude anything, but for now it seems to have done the trick.

i have issue with eclair 3b and CM6....it crazy when i I get my phone out of my pants....
is it FW error or HW error? in my country, in my country there are many like me.and we do not have a solution for this problem rather than the touch screen

how did you fix your screen.my homebutton does not respond

I just changed to some mod roms and the problem disappeared for me.
Some of my friends got really big issue with the touch panel and when they came to Motorola service point, the technicians said there is a known issue with the panel they used but not all customers are affected (hence some people are OK after trying different roms).
So if one experiences it then just needs to go to Moto and they'll change to a healthy-guaranteed panel obviously, if you're still under warranty, it's free!

Just want to figure out the reason of black screen freeze, it makes me crazy

Well, to tell the truth, I like this phone. Dual-core CPU, perfect screen, HDMI output etc.
But as soon as I get this phone, I found it cannot be wake up from sleep.
I heard that LG has released a update software to fix this problem, but after I had connected my phone to the computer and opened the LGMobile Update, it told me there was no newer update available.
So I'm trying to figure out the reason of this problem.
This problem does not happened every time when I push the ON/OFF button to put the phone to the sleep mode. If I just reboot the phone, and then turn off the screen, there will never be any trouble, even I put it on the desk for the whole night.
But if some programs has been run, like the games, map, internet browser, or even a call or SMS, then lock the screen, it will never wake up. Or if I plug in the charger or connect the phone to the computer, it works great with no trouble.
What's more, after the phone has 'dead', the temperature of the phone became high, and even became higher and higher, very strange.
So I try these way to solve the problem with no success:
-replace the battery with another one.
-wipe the battery information by using ClockworkMod and then re-calibrate the battery.
-flash a different version ROM, including MCR ROM and LG Stock ROM.
-flash a different version baseband.
-force the CPU frequency to stay in 800Mhz by using 'pimp my CPU'.
-lower the voltage of the CPU.
-forced the frequency to stay about 400Mhz when the screen is locked.
-remove any applications installed by myself.
-disallow any background applications.
-put the phone in the rom with air conditioner turning on which the air temperature is about 25°c.
Then I guess this problem is caused by power management bug.
There will never be any problem when the phone is awake, or the charger is plugged in, so I don't think it's a hardware bug.

Must be a bad unit. :-(

As I said before.
When you press power button to wake-up the screen, and the screen is black (bsod), press power button again (so it would power off the screen, even tho the screen is black), count till 20/30sec and press power button again....
There yoy go, phone working again!
Ive overwon my bsod since I know this trick!

No, no work.
Now, after playing games or using Google Map, I must turn off the phone, and then turn it on again to avoid this issue.

OK, now I can almost confirm that this issue is caused by overheat.
I boot the phone, then put it on the desk without any operation, it will remain OK.
Then I put it into my jeans pocket for about 1~2 minutes, it will be dead.
Again, after playing games, I put the phone just near the air conditioner, it will be cooled down very soon, and the issue will not happen.
So, is there any way to make the ‘temperature protection’ or something like that higher? Or just remove it from the Android OS.

I don't think removing any sort of temp failsafe would be a good idea.
I just had a bsod and the phone was really hot. If anything, it needs a proper failsafe put in, so it at least reboots in stead of hanging on the black screen

I had a phone with the usual reboots and charge-bugs like everybody else. I shan't claim I've found a 100% solution, but what I can say is that my phone never reboots/bsods anymore, on stock ROM, MCR or CM7. It does get hot to the touch when it's working hard or charging, but still operates reliably.
There are several version of the basebands floating around. Not only are there different versions (02.18, 02.23, 03.15, .04.05, 05.02), but more importantly, there are different versions of the same version-number as well.
I downloaded three original ROMs from the thread here on XDA, all of them including the 04.05 baseband... and all the baseband-files were different.
As you know, if you're already on 0405 or higher, you can't upgrade through the LG update tool, as it claims you're already updated. So to make sure I had the latest "official" baseband I installed a 10a version (baseband 02.18). This allowed me to upgrade through the LG-tool. I still got an 0405-baseband, but... not had a single reboot since, and I've tried every ROM out there. (Am now back on stock waiting for CM7 to become polished.)
So to the ones out there who still suffer reboots, try to smartflash back to and old version, then upgrade via the LG-tool, it worked for me.
(This could of course be entirely coincidental, my phone may just have spontaneously "healed", but it's unlikely.)

Thanks for reply dude.
But I've tried almost every version of baseband and rom already.
I'm from China, newest version of baseband I got is V10S, which is a Korean version, and the newest Chinese version is V10K. I have tried to flash the phone back to V10A - a European version ROM, and then update the phone using LG Mobile Update software to V10D, and this did no help to the issue.
As I said, this problem always happen when the temperature of the phone is high. I'm not sure whether the CPU/GPU temperature or the battery temperature will cause this issue (I prefer to believe it's because of the battery temperature, cuz the Google Map won't use too much CPU and GPU resource)
Another interesting thing I found, is that if I leave the music playing in background, then lock the screen, the phone will never meet any issue.
So now, my solution is to avoid the high temperature, or playing the music in background, muted, and then lock the screen. This may drain the battery faster, but at least I will never miss any call.

Permanent and annoying issues with CM7

Hello,
I've been using Cm7 latest KANGs since months, they're all good but there's ALWAYS been problems in every cm7 build that makes me hate this phone when it happens.
The problem is that they happen randomly with no apparent explanation!
problem #1
almost every week it happens that the phone drain battery very fast and gets a little hot. The reason is "suspend" process running wildly in the background.
What is it and why doesn't happen always? Solution : reboot, after it drained half your battery
edit : now "mediascanner" took the place of suspend
problem #2
every 3-4 days if you never reboot the phone it gets to a point where its slow and slightly unreactive. When you surf with Opera you notice a struggle to process data like something is using the CPU, the reality is that nothing is.
The worst part about this is when the phone is in that state and you do something that involves a cpu process you hear a noise form the speakers like an interference it's very difficult to explain. If you happen to listen to music in this state everything that you do makes the music lag like if it restarted every 1/3s of a second, like when you try to playback some video from a source that has a slower reading speed than the video bitrate itself. A jerky playback.
Solution = reboot.
problem #3 every month the phone (even on silent mode) "screams". :| that's right, from the speakers you suddenly hear random "leaks" of loud and high pitch sound things for NO REASON.
"problem #4" the front facing camera is just bad it doesn't adjust to the light with auto exposure compensation. It has very bad banding and digital noise things on the image. I thought it was a driver problem in cm7 but it happens in stock too. This problem didn't happen in the first nightlies of cm7.
Are those bugs reported?
I'm currently in problem 2 and I'll just let it do its thing just to see how funny the battery graphic will look. In 6h runtime I have "suspend" using the cpu for 30minutes and going.
I tried every kernel.

i have the same problem as you with suspend i dont know what it is, but anyways my battery is not that bad after 16 hours is still 58% medium usage.
we can try asking temasek if he has a clue.

I also have problem #3
very strange, happens sometimes even when the phone is on silent, and it's been sitting on my nightstand for 7hours without me using it (plugged in)
it also happens sometimes when it's not plugged in and I'm just browsing the web
(seems to happen more often when viewing video's)

What annoys me most its problem #1 . It's just unacceptable to have something for no reason draining your battery when you phone is sleep mode, even worse when you don't when it will happen!

#1 - I rarely have this issue but it doesn't drain my battery.
#2 - I don't hve this issue
#3 - I don't hve this issue
#4 - I use LG modded camera so no such issue.

Now I have it and I can't get it to go away!! It drains battery at about 10% per hour (without touching the device). What kernel are you using?
Can you link me the camera mod?

Got another for the list!
BBC iplayer !
On both the app and the Web page it works fine through the interface, the intro to your TV program works fine, then you get into the program and the picture is just pixelated rainbow mush! Lol!
Weirdly if you minimize the program and then resize the image it's fine!
What's that all about?

another one:
( I think its with every android version above 2.34)
if there are too many apps moved to sd card (about 50) phone works only till first reboot. once shut down and turned on again, phone keeps on rebooting. only thing that helps is putting sd in pc and delete some .asec-files from .android_secure-folder.

I had #3 before, I think it was around Temasek kang 1x.. After a dozens of flashes, I forgot it ever existed.

There's another one too which is important to save battery life: sometimes the wifi connection doesn't start until you go into the wifi settings. Meaning that if you are within the coverage you won't be connected to the wifi network until you go into wifi settings. This will drain battery because the phone won't turn off the eventual 3G active connection

I tried that but I what I meant is during video calls with skype and gtalk! It shows the correct exposure at the first second that goes into wrong mode.
BTW this phone has the worst ff camera, just bad bad bad quality

haha...the speaker scream at night....
just flash CM7 (Alien Revolution) this morning,
only some minor things found:
1. have to remove the latin.apk manually to against force close
2. can't use the original screen capture (HOME + POWER),
use the option by long press the power button for replacement
3. while playing "Let's golf 3", it got force close
clear the data of the game and it's solved.
4. 2 hrs before, the phone signal suddenly drop and disconnected...
just reboot and see whether it happen again...

Hi Temasek.. will this camera mod work with MIUI roms?

I have another problem on using CM7, it's the HDMI connection. My phone doesn't displayed on 1080p mode, pic quality is awful (my LCD TV is full hd capable).
And when I played a movie and throw it to the LCD TV on landscape mode, it displayed only for couple of seconds and then blackout. My phone continued to play the movie though. This is not happening in portrait mode.
On Optimus 2x stock ROM, it is possible to select hdmi resolution. How to do that in CM7?
Thanks!

no one of the problems here!
working fine and perfect with alienRevolution 1.9.1 ! Best ROM!

Problem #1 happend to me once, i was on ETaNa Kernel 0mb (i dont know wich version) and a Temasek Kang (think it was 61)
Never happend again. Now i am on ETaNa 32mb 18th Feb. and Temasek Kang 66, everything works fine for me.

I think the battery draining issue was just a bad RIL now battery seems as it should be.
I still have problem #2 though and I can't believe I am the only one experiencing it!
I made a mistake because I was powering off the phone at night in the last month but now that I'm keeping it on at night I can say it happens after 1 day of running time.
Basically when you start using it the second day the phone becomes unresponsive, go launcher EX keeps reloading icons very often, it takes sometimes 2-3 secs to open an app after you press on it , Opera keeps getting shutting down if you check another app for 1 second, when you go back you have to wait 6-7secs for it to restart. The situatios stabilizes itself a little when you keep using it (still not that snappy like at boot) but then goes back to the same sluggishness.
Juicedefender shows in the logs that "memory is low" and for how the phone acts it does look like it but I always have 80-100MB left and even if I kill every service running the sluggishness is still there. SO what the hell is causing it? Could this "suspend" be responsible for memory leaks? Again what does this suspend do?
Here's a screenshot for today only after the overnight recharge.
And of course the phone died while I was charging screen or phone wouldn't turn at all, apparently it charged to 56% and then BSOD

Just to make sure, am I the only one where suspend uses all the cpu?

i have also tryed cm7, its nice and stable but a little bug which forced me to change the rom, go launcher always restarts and i have to force close it and whenever i put some movies and images in sd card gallery doesnt updated it and shows old files only, thats y i changed my rom.

Rooting my phone has turned into a nightmare, can you help me?

Ok firstly I'd like to say I just rooted my phone last week, this was my first time doing it. I decided to do it to get rid of various problems (I was led to believe rooting fixes everything). Some of them went away, some of them stayed, and new ones came up with the rooting.
I was coming a stock LG Optimus 2X P990 with Android 2.3.4 (had been updated because the phone was originally older 2.2.2 I think.. I'm not sure), and rooted to Nova HD Rom (ICS 4.0.4) using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1508492. Oh also, I'm using SPB Shell launcher.
Problem #1 : Signal interuption. This one is probably the worst problem I have. I rely on my phone a lot as I don't have a ground line I need it to catch all my calls. About 2-3times a day I'll check my phone and I'll have no network. Sometimes the signal bars are frozen, they don't flutuate as I move to different areas. Sometimes there's an X on the signal logo. Either way, where I go inside/outside.. my phone can't get network. At first I tried to activate/de-activate 2G, turning on/off airplane mode to somehow reset the damn thing, but it just won't pickup. Then I tried a reboot, after the reboot.. still stuck at no signal. Then I finnally found how to fix it.. a full power OFF, and back ON. That's right each time I peak at my phone and it seems to be doing this, I need to make a complete shut down to wake his ass off.
Problem #2 : Battery drain. Well after days of reading on the subject apparently rooting my G2X was gonna improve it's battery life. Result is : no difference. I've bought a bunch of apps to try and keep track on what's wrong (BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Pro). Just this morning I unplug my fully charged phone at 7:00:AM, and by 1PM (6hours later) it was done. There was about 1½hours of awake time, and about 50mins of screen on (perhaps half of this was using my 3G internet with various apps), no SMS or Calls. Usually if the phone is kept sleeping it can last about 24hours, do you guys think this is normal battery drain?
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? Last week I was woken up by my alarm in the morning to find out I was about 40minutes late. Only happened once so far. I checked to see if I had set my alarm incorrectly.. nope, then I saw my phone time.. It was was OFF by 40mins... WTF? I went in the options and everything was fine... "Automatic date & Time" checked. I unchecked/checked it, and it didn't fix it, I had to reboot the phone for the time to come back to normal. Now hopefully that was only a one time problem, only now I have to live with the stress every morning my phones time might be wrong and I'll be late for work.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. I use to listen a lot of FM radio before I rooted my phone , this is a feature I enjoyed. After rooting the FM radio application was gone, I said what the hell I'll just get another app from google play. NOPE, not a single FM radio app (that works). I tried a bunch of stuff, read on the forums and searched google for like 3hours and couldn't believe how much work I had put into such a simple thing.. this is so infuriating. The next day I kept looking but was never able to get anything working.. Oh and every where I look people say "lol why use FM radio when you can stream 1gazillion radio with given apps or whatnot". DAMMMMMMNN CAUSE MAYBE I DON'T HAVE INFINITE DATA PLAN? (In fact I have only 500megs/month). Seriously I'm so mad about this.
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! . I swear to got now that I rooted my phone each time I try to do something, something ****S UP. I just wanted to plug in my phone and copy some episodes of a serie I watch. Each time I tried copying the files : BAM "Windows Explorer has stopped working". So after another 2hours or so of trials and errors I figured the damn thing out . If I try to copy anything, it works. If I try to copy a *.MKV file, explorer crash. A solution I found is renaming my files to *.****YOU and then copy it and rename it back to MKV after it's done copying. Then I wondered, what if I rename a txt file to mkv, will it crash when being copied? Nope won't crash. So it's not just the extension? But why does it work if I remove the mkv extension.. oh good god how the hell am I supposed to understand anything.
Problem #6 : Can't play that MKV file?. Hey I finnally copied my file, the next day at work during my break I open my phone to watch it and.... well I realised there wasn't any video player included in my ROM, so luckly this time I found apps on the market that could play it. I used MX Player. Oh alright time to watch it? NOPE The video is all laggy and skipping frames like hell. Also audio is off and about each 10sec it mutes as if it was re-syncing the sound. Later the next evening I wasted another couple hours figuring this one out. What comes out often : they say use Dice Player instend! LOL Funny! The damn app won't even open my file!.
Playing with my phone I opened an APP I've pushased : System tuner pro. Looking at the CPU stats I noticed the first CPU was at 1.01Ghz, and the second one was at 216mhz? What the hell? I thought isn't that suposed to be 2x1ghz dual core?. So I cranked up the thing up to 1.01Ghz just like the other CPU, opened MX Player and already my video was almost watchable (a definitive improvement). I went back in System tuner pro, and overclocked the damn thing (even tough I had no idea if it was safe to do so) to 1.4ghz on both cores. Another significant improvement, this time when set this way I could watch my video! And the app onlyl reports a 5Celcius increase so I guess it's fine.
My only problem/question about that is why does each time I reboot my phone does the damn thing turns back to 216mhz? In fact why was it set to 216mhz in the first place? Considering all the problems I have and that I reboot my phone about 10times a day, I can't just go in system tuner the re-set my CPU settings each time?
Hopefully you guys can help me.. I'm exhausted I''ve been searching this forum and the web for the last couple days, I have like 1000tabs open in chrome. Btw this forum is a goldmine for information but damn it's a lot of reading.
Thanks in advance for your help

First, I'd like to say that I admire your keenness to detail in writing all of your issues down. Thing is, most of the problems you have are mainly because you flashed a modified ICS ROM. ICS roms by themselves are in beta stage, meaning there are some things that people compromise in flashing them (such as the missing FM radio), and you flashed a modified one, which might be the reason for certain power saving features such as your 2nd core down stepping to 216MHz.
Thing is, most of those were discussed in the NOVA ICS thread.
I would recommend flashing the more stable ROMs. Temasek's CM7, DjangoManouche by Carburano, Nostalgia by Topogigi (Froyo ROM) are the ones that pop-up in mind.
For a panic button, you can do a smartflash and it will restore all partitions to stock LG (wiping all user data of course).
Anyway, read the threads carefully. The opening posts and the last 5 pages at least. In order to get a feel of user experiences with the ROM.
Goodluck and happy flashing!

I also noticed that you mentioned you have a G2X? But you also mention having a P990. If you're on a G2X, you have a different forum section my friend. This forum section is specifically for the O2X.
Flashing an O2X ROM on a G2X may result in softbricks.
(Please disregard my advise about ROM choices if you're have an LG P999 G2X, those are all intended for the LG P990 O2X.)

yea my mistake when I typed G2x.. I meant O2X.
Thanks for the advice.
If I change my ROM will it wype all my user data again? (sorry im a newb at this)

The ROM itself might not. But I highly recommend you wipe your device since you're moving from 1 version of android (ICS) to another (Froyo or GB).

I'd recommend you CM7 (not CM9) based ROMs but since you need the FM radio, they have none AFAIK.. but you can try stock based ROMs that are still in active developments by the dev. Usually they worked just fine and will fix most of your problems.. again, don't use CM9 based..
Now for the network that is constantly disconnecting in background, this bug is actually introduced (at least for me) after the GB update (i assumed because of the changes LG has made to the baseband). There's no surefire fix for this problem.. try different combinations of basebands and RILs.. stick to whatever works for you
For battery, if you're in constant mobile network, 24 hours standby time is incredible IMO.. our battery is just too low in capacity to make it last any longer than that.. my only advice is minimize the number of apps in your device, because some of them always stay in RAM doing god knows what..
Good luck

Yes it will wipe them.. for baseband changes too.. so if you have apps that you'd like to preserve, back them up before flashing anything.. Titanium backup will do the trick, but some instability issues might appear if you choose to just backup and then restore everything up.. so choose all your important apps and leave the rest.. this way if something is wrong with the rom after restore, you can at least pinpoint which app is causing it

Oh great.. that means you wouldn't mind using CM7.. i just don't bother checking for working FM radio app since long ago
why not try Temasek's kang build? I believe it is still the best stability wise..

CM 7 is Gingerbread
CM 9 is ICS
The numbers indicate Android's different iterations, so no, you can't

CM 7 is a fantastic phone, but it has 2 big problems:
-huge battery drain, specially when you enable Wifi!
-sporadic BSODs...specially when the phone is on charging...
Sadly i had to remove CM7 because i use a lot Wifi...i flashed Topogigi's nostalgia now..good rom

Which both are solved to about 95% by using etana kernel.
In short CM7 is the most feature complete ROM without sacrificing performance on our phones.

Just to give an update I have changed my ROM to a CM7 based rom like u guys said. Temasek's kang build
Problem 1. Signal interuption : problem is definitly solved.
Problem 2. Battery drain : definite improvement, battery now last at least twice longer
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? : Didn't get the problem again, so solved.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. : Well I got an FM radio app, but I can't make it work. It doesn't pick up the stations..
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! : Well this is solved yes and no. If I manage to make my computer detect the damn phone, I can copy whatever I want to. Thing is for some reason I can't seem to be able to plug my phone into Mass Storage mode anymore. It worked a couple of times and all of sudden even tough I didn't change any drivers, my computer just doesn't see the phone anymore. I get a "USB Composite Device" with a yellow "!" mark in my device manager.
I tried a bunch of stuff in the options, rebooting the phone and/or computer, nothing worked. I decided to try reinstalling the rom, and boom right after I pluged it in, the USB Mass storage mode worked. Once again after a couple of times it started doing the same thing (yellow "!" mark in my device manager), and no new drive being detected. This time I'm completly clueless on what's going on, and I have no idea what I can do about it.
I'm currently copying files using Samba Filesharing over Wi-Fi, but sometimes I'd prefer using my USB cable, and I just can't...
New problem!!! : I had my phone at work yesterday and pluged in my headphones to listen to music, start my music and the sound was playing in both my heatphone and phone speakers. I tried unplugging/replugging the headphone, now the sound only worked on the phone speaker. Looked up every phone option possible regarding sound or headphones.. couldn't find nothing. I did a reboot on the device, and bam fixed everything. Couple hours later I re-open my phone for music, same problem occured. Had to reboot the device for the sound to be back in the headphones.
Most problems are fixed, I Guess I'm satisfied, but damn can't everything just work...

JuiceDefender Premium will make it that your device loses 1% every 10 hours if screen is off.

Stock 20Q from LG is free of bugs and full of functions.

Might be a stupid advice,
but you do know that you need your headphones plugged in for FM radio? (they are the actual antenna)
In the settings you can also set your region (e.g. North America or Europe), since the frequencies differ a bit (e.g. Europe uses 0.1MHz 'jumps' and some regions 0.2MHz).

yea I know all of that don't worry.
The FM radio app is pretty buggy, today I made it worked. Once the app was started with the station selected, I hit the home button then I pulled down the tray and click on the FM app from there. All of sudden I started hearing sound.. it had worked.
Turns out the app is also the source of what is messing my headphones up. When I close and re-open the app, the sound will come out from the phone speaker, and that messes up every sound from the phone then on.

That FM radio thing is a bug that I haven't heard of actually. When you have the opportunity (or maybe on the next build #94, I'd suggest a full wipe then reflash).

[Q] Galaxy NOTE SOD problems.

My brother's galaxy note have been facing serious sod problems since he bought the phone at Nov 2012. After he faced it the 1st time , he sent to SC and got it back. After 1-2months the problem came again and he asked for my help. I persume it was because the malaysian firmware of the ICS was somewhat unstable from what i read from forums here and there. So i changed the firmware to JB duno from which country when it came out in MAC. After a week or so. The problem reappeared . So I just decided to root and chnge the kernel and also the ROM. Changed the ROM to a stock rom and a kernel. Still the problem persist. I'm out of options. Went to the ****ty SC and the idiots just factory reset the phone and give u back. BUNCH OF RETAR*S . (sorry for my languange)
Hope someone here may help me out with my problem. Thanks a million :laugh:

Check all the apps you have installed maybe you find the bad one whose causing it as you have mentioned it comes after sometime of installing a fresh rom and have you tried any aosp rom maybe that will fix the issue

I just installed an aosp rom (PA) and I hope it fixes the problem. Well I've seen the amount of apps installed in the note and its jst a quarter the amount I have in the Galaxy S2 and my S2 works like a charm. The note has been giving me headache ever since I got it from my brother. Hope this does solve it , if not I guess its something else maybe hardware

Phone sod twice on paranoid android. FML! Guess im visiting SC tmrw again.

Same problem with me..
My Note 1 has SOD since 1st time bought it..
be patience to install JB --> still SOD
change kernel to SpeedMod 5.3 --> SOD again
change kernel to PhilZ --> sometimes SOD
I have read many information that related with SOD in galnote 1, my opinion it is related with hardware too.. sometimes
or it is related with kernel... it can not wake from deep sleep..
anyone have another better suggestion to cure this ?

if u're using pure stock rom still facing the same problems then definitely is hardware issues！
if ur device still under warranties suggest bring to SC ask them do a thorough check on it n let them know what's going on actually...

Yes, I use stock ROM still has SOD,
so it's hardware issue for sure...
but I will keep the phone for now because sometimes SC doesn't give solution to this..

I too get this SOD once a week on my GT-N7000
Phone status when this happens:
stock JB(earlier ICS), non-rooted, data connection, wifi, GPS, bluetooth all disabled. Battery mostly above 80%.
Gmail, Google+, Facebook and all other social n/w apps disabled (yes, i am an oldtimer )
During SOD, if a third party calls my number, he hears it ringing, but my handset is dead as dodo (quite dangerous as the calling person may think i am not answering it)
i used to get this when it was on ICS and still getting it after i upgraded to JB.
Most of the time, SOD occurs during wee hours in morning ( i used battery monitor app that logs battery stats every 10 minutes to check the time when this happens).
Sometimes it occurs when the phone is in my jeans back pocket. phone needs a 10 second press on pwr switch to restart it.
Turning off the "power saver" mode seem to reduce the probability of SOD.
i have taken this phone to SC and they re-flashed the JB.
i told the SC chap that i have already done this and couple of factory resets, but he said that they do "much more" than just re-flashing through kies like calibrating camera, bluetooth )
does anyone in the know, know if this is indeed true ?
Thanks

updates...
After 2 days of re-flashing at a samsung authorised service center, i got SoD 2 times in a period of 12 hours.
once last night and second time when i was traveling to office.
Last night i installed some bare-minimum apps back after waiting 2 days for any SoD to happen in "stock" condition.
Well.... i did not pay 30K to use the GNote as just a phone, so installed some basic apps (Battery monitor, Bangalore BMTC, RealCalc, GPS Test, ES File explorer and a first time app StatusLogger)
phone went dead at 1:00 am in morning and as usual there was no wakeup alarm.
phone was warm to touch when it was lying dead. The battery which was 96% at 00:30 AM had gone down to 54% at 7:00 AM.
Status logger did not show any loss of GSM signal which might have resulted in phone transmitting at higher power/hunting for signal etc.
The "radio" seemed working, because when i made a call to the dead phone from my landline, i could hear the phone ring instead of expected "phone is switched off" message i was expecting.
So this has to do with application processor going in some infinite loop.
Uninstalling all apps is NOT an option.
anyone know if we can establish any debug connection to phone and know what the hell CPU is up to in this situation ?
any processor logger that will periodically log all the processes running on phone ?

SOD resolved... not a single one since 6 months.
Hey guys, just wanted to share this info with you, I had SOD's like anything and did all freakingly possible things right from flashing roms to kernels, speed up CPU, banging my head in front of the dumb witted morons at samsung service... to get rid of that pain. What helped me was an app called "WAKELOCK" by darken which is merely 72kb in size but works wonders, not a single SOD after that. What u need to do is.... it has a list of presets that makes sure your cpu stays up. You need to select the preset called "partial wake lock" which is at no. 4, and viola...
It ensures that the CPU is running. No SOD ever after. Also, you need to make it autorun on boot from the options. Yea, it does eat up batter a bit more but its definitely manageable. I still need to charge my note only at night.
Just to be sure, I uninstalled it and guess what, SOD returned. So, do try it, I hope it helps...
