do you change the back cover? i find out the cover make a little of bad things when its alittle loosy
I had this problem once, but it was app related - I installed some 'antymosquito' app from market, and phone was bahaving just like you say.
After uninstall, everything went to normal.

Well heres the story. I flashed cyanogen 6.0 and all was great,fast,smooth,perfect... Then it all went downhill. The backlight cut out. After wiping,reflashing,doing everything possible as far as that it was still the same.
I soon figured out that if i lock my phone while it was closed, then slid it open and hit menu the backlight would turn on, but it will not work when its not slid open at all.
Problem #2
As i have been dealing with the first problem and i dont have alot of time to fix it because of work and all, it grew even worse. Now when i do what i was doing to get the backlight to come on, The phone will randomly freeze/backlight wont come on at all/ Screen wont even come on.
When i turn on the phone sometimes the screen wont even come on but the backlight will and it wont get anywhere."blank lit black screen no tmobile g1 logo"
This also happens when i go to recovery using home+power. I remedy that by taking out the battery and starting the phone till it works.
Could someone please help me out here i dont really have to much to spend on a new phone and it would be great if i can get this one going like it should again.
you need to wipe before reinstall
if you have armonR, you wipe everything the wipe menu and flash the rom and the flash gapp-3
ive done that many times, hasnt solved anything. i dont know whats going on..getting to the point where i might just break down and get a htc hd2 and put android on it
Try flashing the Defanged Base (which you can find on the cyanogen wiki) then flash the Rom again.
to be honest it was time for an upgrade anyways, now i have the samsung vibrant. Its awesome. Thank you for the help anyways though.

You lucky f***! How are you liking it? I was thinking about getting one soon but i havent talked to anyone with one. Is there anything you dont like about it?
I've checked and some says that I need to replace it but as I dont have much cash I wanna make sure that my screen needs replacing.
My bro got me an old G1. And its screen starts to behave quite odd recently. Sometimes I cant touch anything, or it just keeps pressing itself. (In cases like when I'm typing it will types it self bunch of letters in the mid and bottom lines (the asd-zxc lines) And when things happen I have to turn off the screen and wake it again. Problem resolved temporarily.
And it happens daily, if not nearly all day
So please anyone that got experiences or advices please tell me is it the screen's fault? And should I replace it?
Thank you for your attention!
P.S: I know that nothing can live forever...
I had similar problems. It happened when my battery was low... Im pretty sure it was just my ROM being buggy.
Thank you for responding
But I dont think so. I changed to dwang's rom (donut as I remember) and it still were "lagged" like that so I flash back to CM 6.1.2. So I dont think that's the roms' fault.
And about the battery... Im not sure. Sometimes when the batts gets lower I got better responds .. quite unpredictable
And what did you do?
I attempted to install a new ROM, failed. Tried to recover my back up, and now I'm learning to fastboot. :/
After the install failed, and I had a fresh instal of my ROM running, it seemed to stop.
I also noticed that it only did it when I had the keyboard opened.
Aww I'm not lucky as you are.
Since I've installed 4 roms but none of them fixes it. I'm thinking of changing the radio Im not sure though...
Just see what other people have to say
Still no clue...
Hey guys,
I updated my galaxy s to a custom ROM yesterday.. Battery started draining and phone was heated all the time it was turned on.
As it was discharging very quick, I plugged in the charger, phone was heated up and I suddenly got a whole green screen on phone.
I removed out battery instantly, I let it cool.. again inserted the battery and started. I got the same green display. I tried to put phone in recovery or download mode, I am getting same green display everytime I start phone.
Phone is working flawlessly as I can get phones and message tones, even touch is working. I can hear lock and unlock sound when I slide my finger over phone screen. Only thing is display is not working.
Now, What should I replace? is Digitizer working? Will samsung cover this under warranty (I've installed custom ROM on my phone) if not what will be total cost of repairs?
I dont know what might be wrong but maybe you can tell us what custom rom caused this issue so we can avoid it ?
not sure on a solution, but if you flash a standard ROM using Odin, then you can return it to Samsung and tell them that after updating to Froyo using Kies you have this problem.
as the firmware on the phone will be the official firmware then i cant see any reason why your warranty wouldn't cover it [thats what i did anyway]. just make sure you flash the phone,modem and csc files to totally restore to stock.
BTW this may also sort you problem.

Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the back and menu buttons stop working suddenly. This has happened to me twice. A simple On and Off fixes this, but I wanna know if theres a proper fix for it? My phone is rooted with the stock ROM "KKA". Anyone else experienced this?
My phone is NOT rooted with the stock ROM "KKA" and suffers the same problem.
Mone rom is rocket v17 , i got the same problem 2nd time.AND screen didn't wake up.
I have had this issue once so far, rooted with official Arabic Rom. does anyone have a solution?
had to restart the phone to bring it back to normal.
Read on Androidnz blog that this happens sometimes using spen with button press for using menu features like pulling up menu or back button etc.
I'm rooted, standard ROM, rarely use the SPen (haven't got around to understanding what I can do with it). I've had the unresponsive Back and Menu button problems a few times - only solution I can find is to switch off and back on again.
Good to know that it's not just me, but it would be nice to find a solution.
Same issue. Stock rom. Happened to me just now and the stylus was not being used at all.
well i also have that problem. i also know others with this problem.in my case restarting the launcher helps.ofcourse if u have both home and back button not responding at the same time then its not possible.i get both of them not responding at the same time very very rare.at that time all i do is turn of the screen and wait a few minutes.thats all,every thing is normal again.oh one more thing i think its a good idea to keep more than one launcher installed and not making any of the default.it helps switch between them easier.switching between launcher always helps in these not respondig issues.
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?

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?
