No idea... I bought my phone at the earlier earlier batch, where it is pack in bubblewrap... LOL!
Anyway, at 2.2.2, still same problem. Doesn't want to get custom rom, as after my exam, i'm going down to LG and get some servicing or shyt out from them...
The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

Hiya!
The display of my phone has gone green (!). Everything looks greenish in color. I've been having this problem for the past 2 weeks but it always gets back to normal color when I press the display/screen.
Now, it is stuck and everything is looking Greenish, could it be AMOLED problem??
Have been using SGS for past 6 months and have been flashing customized Roms almost once every week. As mentioned above, have been experiencing greenish color for 2-3 seconds randomly for the past 2 weeks and more so when the phone is in charging mode.
Another weird behavior that I've been experiencing is that the BOTTOM LEFT of the screen gets pressed automatically and whatever is there (games/phone/message etc) opens. This problem also used to resolve after locking/unlocking the phone. The frequency of these occurrences have been increasing over the fortnight.
My doubts are
1. Is it my screen problem-has AMOLED burned out??
2. I flashed cyanogenmod around a week back and the frequency of these problems (greenish hue/automatic screen-touch) has increased. Could this be Rom-related. If so, has anyone experienced it??
I've taken pics with phone camera (greenish-hue) and when I transfer them to mac, they look crystal clear which means problem with display, ain't?
Pls help me out guys. I am planning to go out of city for next fortnight..If it is AMOLED problem, I can claim warranty and replace phone before going on tour.
Quick suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
PS: Will post screenshot in a short while..
Could it be that you are using CM render fx? There is an option for green (terminal)

The reason why I am doubting cyanogenmod is it used to resolve itself after lock/unlock but now I am stuck..
Even the screenshots are looking normal!
Took the photo of my sgs with Mac webcam..Greenish tone is now clearly visible..

Thanks for suggestion.
Checked but nope. Even my boot animation screens (cyanogenmod logo) are green now:sad:
Suggestions pls!
Another problem that I've been facing is, while charging, battery level goes up suddenly and shows fully charged. On removal from charge, it stays at 100%. Whenevr I reboot (which I do just to check battery as i dont want phone to switch off suddenly), the battery level corrects itself to actual.
Even now, my battery level was 57% but after charging for 5 mins, the phone was showing full charged and to remove the charger!
Is this atleast cyanogen Nightly problem? Anyone, pls help!
PS: Going to sleep now, will check in morning and update the status. Have already started to download Froyo Stock to flash in case i've to go for replacement
Yeh better revert to stock and get it serviced under warranty.
Update:
Have flashed stock Froyo Rom and took it to the Mobile shop(Hotspot) where I bought the phone. They asked me to take it to Samsung service center for servicing, so gonna take it there tomorrow
PS: Had lost warranty card/invoice, the employee at Hotspot was kind enough to provide me a copy of the bill after checking the IMEI no. Appreciate the customer service at Hotspot (hence the reason for mentioning)

Hi.
I have had my Incredible S for about six months and from about 3 month the screen started turning off and on constantly. Its not rebooting ,but it is only the screen that is turning on and off. I suspected the small button on the top was stuck but it doesn't seem like that is the problem.
once i changed the ROM the device works fine for about 2 weeks and then the problem reappear again "screen turning off and on constantly"
I've tried to reboot the device, turn off the device , remove the battery,
Change the ROM:
I used:
Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL
Android Revolution HD
Runny Droied by PVTEM
Virtuous Affinity
and the problem reappear again after about two weeks from the new ROM.
I checked out all the connectivity option( GPS: OFF, Mobile Network: OFF, WI-FI: OFF .........)
Is there anyone else who have had this problem or can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Off hand I would start looking at which apps you have installed and have running. It sounds like you may have a misbehaving app that is not causing the phone to go completely to sleep.
I had a simular problem on my old HTC desire it was a dodgy app but not a random game or app or anything it was down to having to many apps and it was a app I updated for example facebook
Only thing that solved it was either taking off all apps one at a time or doing a full wipe but since I was giving it away to someone I did a full wipe it did the trick they ain't complained so far

Even i had the same situation "Screen turns on automatically" .. i was thinking it was hardware fault..but after uninstalling few culprit apps..it was resolved..take a good look on the apps which are installed on you phone..
As sharkman3d said full wipe is best option..
thank you all for your help ..... next time i will try to remove the app before reinstalling new ROM
I think I have the weirdest problem with my Sensation XL.
It works fine and sometimes, when I unlock it, the touch screen goes into super frenzy mode and starts doing things on its own. When it's stuck in that mode, I cannot use it, and it clicks buttons around randomly and very fast.
I have seen it open my messages, swipe a long gibberish text and send it (!) or this morning it just opened contacts and deleted one!
I am pretty sure it's all in random because on the keyboard I can see it swiping very randomly around the screen and in a very fast speed.
What on earth is this and how do I stop it? It almost looks like a virus or some sort of spyware but I checked and see nothing malicious installed.
The phone is about 8 months old and is not rooted. Latest firmware installed.(4.0.3 Android version).
The crazy behaviour did not coincide with any updates in software. Just started 3 weeks ago randomly and happened maybe 5 times till now.
The only way to stop your phone going mad and doing something you don't want it to do is to quickly rip the battery off, because you are unable to restart it from the touch screen.
It only happens after you unlock it, not while you're using it and I noticed it happens after a long period of inactivity.
Has anyone had that? Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you

Lock the screen and open it again. If this doesn't stop it could be a Hardware problem
I also had some problems like this on the original firmware, but rarely, it got fixed when i flashed Incredibly Cool Sense v3. You should lock the screen not to rip the battery off, as it's faster and it should work

I don't think it's a hardware issue cause the phone works well most of the time. If it was hardware the problem would be permanent, not intermittent and especially so occasional.
Must be something software related, I did add a lot of games to the phone recently but the problem happens even when these processes aren't running in the background which is puzzling.
Locking and unlocking the screen postpones the problem, it doesn't solve it. As soon as the screen is unlocked, it immediately goes crazy again.
I can only solve it by pulling the battery out, and FAST, before it sends crazy messages to my contacts

Welcome to the club. I had that same issue. But after a hard reset everything is fine with mine.
I assume that there was an app causing all that. If after a hard reset still does that you should send it for repair
If you have a screen protector its can be a main reason for this. To stop this behavior you can use power button and wake up it again. Some htc devices have the problem with multi touch screen
Issues of production. Clear the screen products with some alcohol and see than.

I don't have a screen protector actually and the screen is usually clean.
Must be some app, I wonder there was some way to find out which without having to do a hard reset and lose everything

You can't! There is no way you can find out which one is causing that. Maybe it's some update from something that is causing the freezing.
Last night i did notice something else though. My battery was almost empty and i took my gf charger. She has S2 and after i charged my phone it has started to act strange......... Even today after i pluged the phone to install something from the PC it didn't even notice that i have connected it to the PC. Took me about 20 min in/out to get it running I clean the usb slot every week so it is not a dirt issue....
it happens with me when there's water on the screen

Be careful from contiouas pressure on screen it may drive it to behave strangely .
Try to use lock code before putting the phone into pocket
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using xda app-developers app
Definitely on to something.
It has happened a few times when it was drizzling and there were tiny droplets on the screen (not proper rain).
It started acting up when I was swiping the screen against the tiny droplets. After locking it, it would stop responding...
Most of the times I find it either non reponsive or acting weird after I take it out of my back pocket and try to unlock it.
Maybe being in my pocket, even locked, affects it somehow.
Is it easy to put another Rom? Do I lose all my apps?

sorry to bump an old thread.
I have this problem on a bashed up screen. however... I don't think it can be hardware because if I hard reset its then OK on the next boot...
we need to learn more about touchscreens - how are they calibrated? I think it is reset on boot and also on each lock
Its the LCD ribbon touching the metal housing, short circuiting the screen, easy fix with a piece of tape over the ribbon
Edit
Also, once the phone heats up resistance builds up with it causing the issue

I'm having a strange bug where when I use the gps and bluetooth for prolonged periods, the radio seems to shut off. This only happens when i'm driving from Oregon to California and I use the phone for music/audiobook and as a gps for time remaining in the trip.
I'm using Navigation for the gps and the standard play music for bluetooth music. I'm driving a Subaru and have never had this issue before. By the way, the phone gets 7 hours + for gps if the screen isn't kept on the entire time, much less if it is but still over 4 hours.
My xt890 is is not unlocked and is still completely stock. It also randomly shows a G where normally theres an edge symbol since I restrict my phone to edge because the Tmobile roll out hasn't happened in my area yet I don't think (Phone doesn't get 3g ever).
When the bug occurs the only method I've found that fixes it is to reboot the phone, airplane mode and back does not fix it. Though after the bug occurs once, it seems to happen more frequently. Could I be overheating something?
I experienced problems turning on gps on my RAZR-i twice in the last 2 weeks. I am using CoPilot live for navigation. In each case turning the phone completely off and waiting a few minutes solved the problem. In both cases I had the phone on (T mobile) and was using wifi for an extended period of time. I believe something is overheating. Don't think a HW problem, rather firmware reducing power to stay within the power budget (not enough for gps), but I am not 100% sure...
Sent from my NOOK using xda premium
Ok- yesterday the gps stopped working completely.
After doing a hard reset all problems are gone now.... clearly something got corrupted. Question is what app caused all my problems. Anyway, I am glad it was not an HW issue (imported it from GB to US)....
