Screen of death solved :P - LG Optimus Black

Whenever you want to install a gane or an app that is over 30 megs just maximize the screen timeout time to 30 mins and it solves the problem. Tried installing dark legends but as usual got the SOD but then maximized the timeout to 30 minutes and it installed without any problems.
Leme know if it works for you.
Hit the thanks button if i helped.

thx for sharing us, but I think the thread's title is too pretentious..
It's not a real solution, we need to know the source of the sods.

ok....may be i wrong but.I think the problem is SD card....how they communicate with the phone.I never has SoD before i change my SDcard from original 2Gb to 32GB class 4 sandisk.I heve sod when download gamedata....why?I dont know...

[Poll] How often does your 2x reboot/gets SOD ?

i am truly sorry about srating a new thread (poll) on this, but i didnt find out how to change the poll options... >.<
thanks for the feedback, definatelly gona get this phone now at last lol
Once a day or something, randomly. Sometimes I can go days without any reboots, sometimes it happens a few times a day.
And LG just postponed the fix... lol

Since using custom roms like Modaco rom ( tried fr12 and 17 and both where realy good and very stabel roms ) or cyanogenmod (.31 better battery life then modaco ) i didnt had one freez or something like that. My O2X runs very well and smooth.
I had a lot of problems with the Stockroms ( Vodafone Germany) like freezes, bootloops, batterydrain etc...

Never had it with stock rom, once with custom rom. I bought two months ago.

The poll should be changed this way:
- 10-20 times (or more) per day
- 5-10 times per day
- 1-5 times per day
- 1-5 times per week
- Never
If the phone got problem, it will always freeze.
that mean, the phone will NEVER work stably for the whole week (in case of you got problem phone)
My phone reboots time to time... can't pinpoint a reason though
1.no random reboots
2. no backlightbleeding or something else
3. @ 1500 Mhz got only 57° after 10 minutes of stress testing
I´m a lucky men with a good phone
Well i voted 0 reboots but right now i had something strange that was a reboot... i'm standing next to my phone and it was on and ok. Next i pressed power to make a call and it was asking for my simcard pin. So i guess it rebooted but didnt made any sound .... is this the usual random reboot?

I got frozen state i think twice in 2 weeks. Last one was today. But also twice i got forced reboot, since GSM module simply lost signal and was not reacting till restart.
So if ~40% of O2x users here don't suffer from issues, wouldn't that indicate that there isn't really a problem with the firmware? Rather it would indicate that there are defective O2x units being sold.
Ergo, if the defect is indeed due to a hardware problem, then any "fix" that LG releases is a workaround to the hardware issue - and not true remedy. The only remedy to a hardware issue would be a replacement.
Just something to think about - for all those waiting for LG's magical "fix".

[Q] Is Anyone Seeing This Particular Type Of Lag?

I'm seeing lag on the phone under a specific set of conditions and wondered if anyone else was seeing this. If the phone has been asleep for more than about 20 minutes, after I wake the phone the first app that I launch, irrespective of what the app is, lags for about 2 seconds before opening. Any less than about 20 minutes sleep time and the problem doesn't appear.
After the initial lag opening the first app everything works fine until the phone has been asleep again for more than around 20 minutes. Then the same thing again..... the first app that I open lags for about 2 seconds before opening.
The problem was happening with the standard kernel, KKA. I've since rooted and flashed AbyssNote 2.3 but kept the standard rom and the problem is still there. Anyone have an clues what might be causing this?
Remember that when the CPU comes from a deep sleep it's running <50Mhz. So as soon as the phone wakes it needs to speed up again. That's it's only the first App. By then the cpu is running >800Mhz.

I totally agree but it's not the dreaded wake up lag that I'm referring to. I really thought Samsung would have dealt with that by now, but to their discredit they haven't either on the SGS2 or the Note.
People who justify the wake up lag by saying the phone has been in deep sleep are clutching at straws. HTC phones deep sleep and don't have wake up lag. This is a Samsung issue and it should have been dealt with by now on phones of the caliber of the SGS2 and the Note.
The lag I'm referring to is after the phone is awake and I launch the first app. There is a lag of about 2 seconds before the app launches, irrespective of what actual app it is the I'm launching.
After that, all is good until the next time I use the phone.
Tried to change microSD card, or trying to use phone without it? Seems like card problem.
I don't have this lag issue on my note. I use abyssnote kernel with interactive CPU governor.

Thanks for the suggestion but the microSD card is not causing the problem. I removed the card and the problem still exists.
I get this lag too guys, sometimes longer than 2 seconds. Very annoying. Also you have to wait ages for the app list to appear when creating shortcuts for homescreen. This happens after the phone has been on for a while after a reset. Its fast from a fresh reboot. This does not happen on the S2.
General responsivness of the phone goes downwards as time and days pass. This does not happen with the S2. Have to reboot every two days pretty much to get the snappiness back as clearing memory via task manager does not solve this.
I'm Using Checkrom with Abyssnote Kernal. Happens with FM Kernal too, so I don't think its kernal related. Don't remember this happening on stock firmware.

Note turns off

Hi, sometimes my note turns off by itself. When I try to wake the screen it doesn't wake and I have to push power button for some seconds before the note restarts. Is any if you experiencing the same issue?

Are you sure it's totally off? I had this issues when phone looked like it's turned off, but when I pushed buttons for a while it was waking up, so I didn't have to restart it. Some people recommend using jBroid Kernel Cleaning script before you flash new kernel.
And if it's happening after installing new ROM I would recommend to flash stock ROM, then doing a full wipe twice and then flashing ROM you currently use or want to use.
I don't have such problem anymore so it might help.
I'm on the custom rom, I've never rooted my device. The phone is like dead, it's not even turned off. At first I had to put the battery out and then put it in again. Then I discovered that if I pressed the power button for something like 5-6 secs it started again, with the samsung logo and all. Not a big issue but if I don't check my note often I risk to miss important calls. Please help me! Thanks

What apps do you have installed? I had this problem with both WidgetLocker and NoLed.
WidgetLocker I have just given up with - wish id never bought the stupid thing, as it's never worked reliably on my Note or my tablet! (rant over).
NoLed I traced the problem to the flash-the-screen battery saving features. Changing it to leave the screen on all the time when notifying hadn't seemed to use any more battery life and my dead screen problems have gone away.
Just something to consider!
You can try connecting your Note to the PC when running Samsung Kies software. Maybe it will find an update to the ROM you are on right now and this might fix your issue. If not you should go to the developement section of this forum and search for the recent stock rom available and then follow dr. ketan's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If flashing new ROM wouldn't solve your problem, then I guess it's a hardware issue that requires professional service.

I think he should try a different kernel first. Another possibility is that some apps in your phone cause this problem.

I think its a stock kernel and ROM he's on... Even though he says 'custom ROM' he also says its never been rooted, so how would he get the custom ROM working if not by rooting the phone?!
That being the case it must be something interfering with the sleep mode so its probably best to check what has been installed recently, remove those apps one by one over a period of time and check if the problem goes away!
Yes it's a stock rom I am using and the issue happens randomly... Is it maybe lockscreen app? I read the users' comments and no one mentioned such a problem...

Note randomly shuts down - Did you solve this issue?
Hi,
I was wondering if you managed to solve this issue as I am experiencing the same issue where the phone randomly switches off when the screen is locked.
I am using easy battery saver app which sets the sleep schedule to check network data every 15 min.

Galaxy Note 2 shuts down
The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.
The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com
One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
thanks for the heads up with NoLed....I just hope my issue ( phone's screen just dies when not in use - but I think the device is on as the headphone jack responds with the disconnection sound when unplugged) gets resolved...
I was thinking too that philz cwm may be affecting it ( kernel issues )? ...any way I will update as time passess

[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...

[Q] Slow Screen Wakeup on Nameless ROM

Hi Guys,
After installing Nameless ROM nightly updates, I experience slow wake up screen problem.
Sometimes it takes good 3-4 seconds after pressing power button to wake the phone up and after it wakes up, suddenly goes to sleep mode. And if I now press power button, it wakes up in 1-2 seconds. Quicker than before, but still not the quickest.
Also, when phone rings most of the time it takes 5-6 seconds for screen to wake up and sometimes by the time you try answering/rejecting call, call has been missed.
I am currently on nameless-4.4.2-20140308-p880-NIGHTLY update.
Has anybody on LG Optimus 4X HD experienced this issue? Going through other forums, I also tried removing SD card and checking if this improves wake up time, but no joy.
Please shed some lights.
Thanks.
Same problems here. Never misses a call because of it though. I believe a way to decrease the time to wake up is to increase the CPU screen off values. This can be done by changing kernels and using trickster and all that, but I'd like to be able to do it from within the ROM. I asked the developer (@Evisceration) if he could add CPU screen off settings to the device control section. He said he liked the idea, so hopefully we'll see the function somewhere in the near future!

Hardly any bugs at all for me. If you encounter bugs on a ROM, it will be greatly appreciated if you report them to our devs so they can try to fix things!
This particular 'bug' (not really a bug though) is just due to a relatively low Max CPU Screen Off Freq and can be easily avoided by using another kernel or upping the freq if the current kernel supports it.
