today my phone was working perfectly, but i took it out of my pocket during the day and my screen appeared as if it was cracked in some way. but it wasnt it was coming up like negative of everything. (can still sorta see everything) it also will sometimes flash back to normal, or if i push on the screen in the certain spot it will come back.
im figuring that the cable is unhooked or something. Anyone have any Suggestions ????
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.
Hi Guys,
I was setting up my note, had my emails in there and when I clicked on the account the screen just went black. Now I can turn it on but the screen will remain black, I can pickup calls and hear texts arriving but the screen is still black!
Anything I can do? Nothing happens when I try and load recovery mode!

You just bought it?
Sounds like a hardware issue...
Arrived 30 minutes ago It was working and now isn't
And where did you bought it?
I think flashing a new firmware won't show any result because you said you can still handle it but the screen stays black.
Expansys.com usually good! Yeh I think it must be hardware rather than software....
It's now working again??
And what have you done?
I put the protective film back on, and maybe it realised it didn't want to leave me and so started working! I'm still going to get a replacement one just in case though

Good call. I would too!
Stopped working again....
take the battery out for 5 minutes then try again
how much charge is in the battery? have you let it fully charge up?
It said 66% last time it was on. You think charging fully will sort it out?
This has has happened to me 3 times so far while I am plugged in charging overnight. I'll wake up to see that my screen is on. If I hit the power button it will shut off, and then come back on in a second or two. Even if I flip it upside down so the screen is down, I can still see that the screen is still coming on. The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

what your probably referring too is active display. Which if you want off. I also have off is under the moto app
No, that's not it. I'm not talking about how it will come on every 3 seconds when you have a notification. I'm talking about turning fully back on so I can see my home screen.

Is the stay awake setting checked under developer options? Only thing I can think of right now.

Nope, that isn't checked. And normally this isn't an issue, only a sporadic thing.
Happened to me again last night, woke up and noticed the screen staying on around 5am. I tried disabling the active display but it didn't stop the screen from coming back on after I shut it off. I did find that when I unplugged it from my charger, the screen stopped coming back on. Does this give anyone any clues?

Its something you have installed.

I believe Safe Mode is still in Android. Try it. Warning: it will break your home screen widget layout.
If it is something that I installed, how can safe mode help me determine what it is?

The same reason it does in Windows. You use it to narrow down what is causing it. If Safe Mode cures the issue, you know for sure its an installed app. From there, process of elimination.
Right?
Just got the phone and have had this happen a few times also. No apps installed that I didn't have on my previous phone.
After a bit more testing I have more information. It seems like it only happens when it is plugged in and has reached a full charge. Once I unplug the phone from its charger, the screen stops coming on by itself. This is still some kind of bug, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to keep the screen off even if it is fully charged and plugged in.

Mine stays off. We cannot really call it a bug if it doesn't happen to everyone else.

Well I didn't think it was something that effected everyone, otherwise I would have found a thread on it. I'm going to try using a different charger tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Fair enough. I still think its an app installed though.
By any chance do you have the notification enabled for when the battery is fully charged?

No, I don't.
Ive tried this for two nights and it doesnt seem like I've had this issue since using a different charger...
My problem turned out to be the button accidentally being pressed and the screen lock setting being set to "5 seconds" after hitting the button, as opposed to right away. So the screen was going off, it wasn't locking, and an errand touch of the side of the phone while moving it would make the screen come back on without seeing the lock screen again because it was within the 5 seconds that the setting enabled. I was not familiar with this setting being on my previous phone and the Turbo was set to this by default. Hope this helps.
I agree that it is a bug, however, I was wondering, is there a way to get rid of that screen entirely? Frankly all that screen does for me is waste the battery, so being able to not have it at all would be great.
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
