Hi, my SGS is working fine all the while. But sometimes after i unplug the power adapter upon fully charge, the screen keeps blinking in the way like loading home(loading icons)->black screen->loading honme-> black screen->.....
it repeats for very a long time, even if i manually screen off then unlock the screen, the blinking problem still repeating. Until i reboot the device, it works fine again... Happened once in the middle of playing game, it suddenly 'jump' to home screen and the blinking problem begin
Wonder if this related to system crash and cause home screen keeps loading on and off or hardware problem... did anyone experience this?
I've never heard of this before. To diagnose whether it's a hardware problem, your only bet would probably be to flash a clean firmware. Maybe someone will have heard of this though.

thx mate for suggestion seems like its only me having this problem, so far has been flashed 2 custom roms, and problem persists, i think need to flash it back to old GB stock rom to compare it.. sadly warranty period has expired, hope its not related anything with hardware issue..

Try a stock firmware, that should tell you whether or not it's a hardware issue. If it isn't, it's probably kernel related. Hopefully you can figure it out!
i have got the same problem too.. =(( how to fixed it.. the screen keep blinking...
Flash stock firmware . Then if its fixed pls report here.

I've flashed from 2.1 to 2.3.6 and still it's blinking
Does anyone know how to fix it?
same issue
hi,
i have the same issue as well with 2.3.6, BaseBand version I9000XXJVU.
It is not a stock rom and it started appearing just a few days ago. It happens when i plug to charge it and after unplugging it. I have not noticed when it stops.
A friend of mine has the same issue, but with 2.3.4 stock firmware, so i think it is not firmware related.
Any new info on this? what could i provide for further troubleshooting
Main issue is of course that it drains the battery quite much and also allows you to mistakenly unlock the phone when the screen is on, so i was forced to put patter or PIN lock.
Cheers...

I've got a very strange issue with my note's screen, which just occured when I was on a call.
As soon I removed the phone from my ear, instead of turning back to the screen, it kept black and (mostly white) pixels appeared on the screen. However the phone itself was still responding to commands.
Restarting has resolved the issue for the time being and I just wondered whether this is a software issue (using CheckROM) or if it's a hardware one?
---------------------
Update
The issue occurred again. I've posted some photos in my latest post
Had a Problem like that appear randomly to me too, it didnt happen to me again though and i was using stock rom too, but if this problem is continuing then respond on the checkrom thread and explain the problem there. As u have a note, try making a screen shot if it happens again with your s pen, if the screen shot looks normal then its your display having issues, if the black screen with the white pixels appear on the screen shot, then i guess its the roms fault
Issue just occurred again!
This time it happened after installing Darky Note ROM
I took a screenshot and it looked absolutely fine.
I've attached some photos of the phone when the issued occured, notice how the screen gets brighter.
Could this be an issue with the display driver in the ROM, as if it was a hardware fault, shouldn't the screen be like that permanently?
it is definitely software.. darkyrom is copy of check rom

I've cleared the data and cache in Recovery and reflashed the file, yet the same issue keeps occurring.
It seems to be happening everytime my phone goes to 'sleep'
is it also happens on stock rom or any other roms if not then its because of rom
Hi there, I think it's a problem related to the kernel, not because the rom itself.
I had that problem, related into another thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494555
solved by flashing another rom at first, but when changing the rom, the problem came back.
Today I just downloaded another kernel and that solves the problem.

Hi
I am new to Android world. So please handle with care
I used to use an iPhone. Recently (bout 3 weeks ago) I bought a galaxy note and am loving it.
I was going through a lot about Android system and found out 'rooting a phone'.
so I rooted the note and installed Rocket rom v22, GoLauncher Ex and few apps like Setcpu, Adfree, Bank, Xchange etc. I don't have games or many apps on my phone.
My phone turns itself off randomly every now and then. during phone conversation it rebooted itself once so far. and when my phone is stand-by, I found my phone is turned off.
I am not sure why it's happening. Is there any settings i shouldn't set?? or ???
Could anyone please tell me how to fix this issue?
If the phone is faulty, I need to make my phone as the same as when I first got which I am not sure how to :-( yet
The first thing to do is go completely stock. Flash the lastest stock rom and see if that fixes the problem.
When using ICS ROMs there's a known bug called Sleep of Death (SOD) that is similar to what you're experiencing. The phone simply won't turn on the screen and you have to press the power button for several seconds to turn it on again.
Almost all GNote users experience this issue so don't worry about it. Going back to stock will not solve the problem.
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Before the rom v22, I had v19. my phone still did turn itself off several times. after flash the room v22, it didn't happen as many as v19 so I am not sure that the ICS causes the issue.
anyway, I will try the one you suggested and see how I go.
Thank you

I am more worried about the alarm. if the phone turns itself off while i am in sleep, i won't be able to hear the alarm going off.
well if that happens again, i might have to get a alarm clock.
i was thinking of setcpu app might cause the issue... not sure though.
Thanks for your help
I experience the same issue when i was running stock. I've tried several stock versions but the problem still exists.

I have definitely never ever experience SOD when the phone is stock and lock.
The only time i did experience SOD is when i change to modded kernel.
I'm running stock with cf root and have never ever experienced this, so not all notes are affected. That would really suck!

Never had Sleep of Death on stock rom.
I am on stock ICS Rom n it has happenedwith me twice.
My GNote goes dead randomly and only starts up after pulling out battery.
Weird!
Install an ICS from Clean
Start from a Stock ICS rom using PC Odin, then follow my Post as follow :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26772618&postcount=12
Try another rom other than that you had, or a higher versionof it.
The MIDTEAM v1.4.2 is Good and Stable.
Good Luck
I had this problem most of ICS ROMs on my Galaxy Note. SO I guess it's an ICS related bug and it is very uncomfortable to have to reset it to unlock it .
I too have tried several Stock ROMs but it still gets into the Sleep of Death at least once a day.
I guess that it should help to have a Kernel that changes the Deep Sleep settings...
Of my 2 GNotes, one of them had this problem. Happens when you put the note on the table with small drop or whatsoever.
The problem disappeared when inserted 3-fold 80g paper between battery and the edge of battery compartment. The battery tolerance is not so tight so when small drop (like putting on the windowsill) happens, the phone shut down.
The problem completely disappeared after inserting paper.
Of course, more professional would be go to Samsung repairs and show it and ask for replacement - either battery or phone internal casing. You can reproduce the problem by turning the screen on and dropping phone 10cm into hard surface.
But I did not bother.
I won't say that yours has exactly the same problem. But check the tolerances of battery 1st. Sometimes solutions are too obvious to see 'em.
I upgraded from stock to CM9 3 days ago and my Note has turned off several times a day since then. Never before upgrade, so I don't think it has to do with battery being loose in its compartment - not in my case.
I am loving ICS, but I will have to downgrade to gingerbread to get rid of this irritating bug.
this is happening to my galaxy nexus!!! yeah it turns off at random like sleep of death and small drops can trigger it. if i knew this could happen i would have never rooted
lol root itself has nothing to do with it.
if small drops cause it, and paper adding in compartment fixes it. its the gap between battery and whatever should fixate it.
if it occurs during deep sleep, dig into logs what you can find there. Also check roms/kernels feedback if others have it with that version. Many ways to illiminate possibilities.
I miss some good analyzes in this is issue from those experiencing stuff. Android I guess is not user friendly that way.

Galaxy Note Sleep of Death on 4.1.2 JB
I'm still trying to figure this out... I had hoped that with Samsung Stock upgrade to 4.1.2 it would be fixed but its not... anybody still experiencing this problem?
Things that I have tried
Move all apps from Internal SD Card (USB) and format
Factory Reset
Paper wedge between battery
Opened and re-connected all connectors to Motherboard
Install CPUSpy (deep sleep is OK)
I'm at wits end now, and this problem is very apparent. I havn't wanted to flash to a custom rom, because I've seen reported that it still happens with whatever ROM whether stock or custom
Any more ideas on how to make the Sleep of Death go away?

What is the status of your phone now :
Working or not?
It works then it turns off by itself
Bootloop
Stuck on the white Samsung logo
Completely Off?
It does work but it turns itself of, the longest its gone without restarting is 44 hrs. I contacted Amazon where I bought and they are offering s full refund, so I , might send it back but I love it and had wanted tho keep it if the problem is fixed.

Turning off problem too
I don't know if it is exactly the same problem, but my GNote keeps turning off every time, but not seem to be randomly. Looks like ti shut down every time a high performance is required. I tested several roms, ICS and JB, custom and stock, but the problem still goes on.
Please, any ideas?
Hi all !!
From a few days ago, my phone is rebooting frequently by itself.
First, i thought that it was fault of new ROM i flashed, and then i've returned back to the ROM i used before, but the phone keeps rebooting randomly and frequently, i tried then some other ROMs, same thing.
After a few tries, i thought it was fault of my battery, i bought new one, result was good for first day, but after this first day of normal use without reboots, the phone reboots randomly again and frequently, so i'm now afraid, and don't know what i can do.
So, is there anything I can try to help me solve this problem ?!
Thanks in advance.
in most cases its the battery.. but you have tried a new one too.. i have seen a few similar cases and the issue is with the motherboard. have a check at Samsung Service

That's what I was afraid about. Now, I have to buy a new phone, I hope my G-Note can be fixed until the S4 comes (my next smartphone for sure).
Thanks for your reply.

It reboots even if i don't restore nothing. I managed to get it works without rebooting, I'm just hoping it can keep itself working until I buy another smartphone.
same problem here,
keeps rebooting randomly,
sometimes I pick it up from desk, it reboots,
sometimes after sending a sms it reboots,
sometimes it reboots even when it's on my pocket,
so weird
Do you have an application such as JuiceDefender ? I was having regular reboot with this application.

Samsung - GT N7000
Does your system gets overheated, have you checked the temperature.....yes chances are that your motherboard is faulty.
also did you try some custom roms.... may be this forum can help you:

If everything failed then hardware is sure at fault.
If you dont have warrantee, go safe kernel, wipe, format and such. So no stuff is left over. Because going from one rom to another dirty can cause this
Hi
My S iii mini (i8190L) sometimes reboots spontaneously while it is just lying on the table. It has never happened while I was using the phone.
Now I wondering if more people have noticed the same spontaneous reboots.
It could be an app that is misbehaving, the OS itself or be hardware related. I've been on different stock ROMs (now I'm on baseband i8190LUBAMH1, the newest as far as I know), but also on BenzROM.
My phone was rooted from day one. I've read that SuperSU might be the problem? Anyone changed to SuperUser?
My best guess that it is some background process that kicks in while the phone is sleeping.

What kernel do you use?
You could try another kernel and see if it gets sorted out.

I have used the kernels that came with the firmware (and rooted them afterwards). So right now I'm on 3.0.31-1346193, which is the newest kernel for the i8190L I think. So far, I haven't had any reboots with this kernel, but I've been de-installing apps and rebooted so often that the spontaneous reboot didn't had a change to occur. I'll keep my breath for a while and my fingers crossed...
Did you solve it? My brother has the same issue, his phone has gone to RMA 4 times (everytime they flash it with a different stock rom) and hi still have problems, and the phone company refuse to change the phone, as they say they can't find any problems.
Thanks
Xperia SP on stock 4.3 ROM. Bootloader is locked and the phone is not rooted.
Issue started a few days ago, whenever the screen goes off while the WIFI is on the phone reboots. Once it reboots, if I don't switch WIFI off the phone keeps rebooting and warms up. While the screen is on, the phone works great, no issues at all. When the screen goes off, it reboots.
What I've tried so far:
Boot into safe mode, same issue
Repair with SUS, same issue
Downgrade to stock 4.1, same issue
Upgrade to different stock 4.3, same issue
Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas for a workaround?
Thx
I can only suggest go to a repair centre and ask for a refund or fix. This sounds like a hardware issue and you've tried like all the possible solutions there is nothing more you can do.
You can try any custom ROM.. But I dunno if that helps.

Yes, you are probably right.
I noticed today that it reboots while charging too, with or withouth WiFi on, so it looks like a hardware issue.
