So I've been experiencing some weird "black screen" bug on my Nexus One lately, ever since the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update. It's similar to the below video where the phone will show a black screen momentarily when loading apps, even when going into the settings page when it happens. The bug happens in a random manner.

I was wondering if the above is the same as the notorious incoming call bug? However I've never had a problem with incoming calls, only when loading apps.
Shall I take the trouble to do a hard reset of my phone?
I'm having the same problem and I think there are others too I did a hard reset and even a passimg to to see if any of gingerbread bugs disappear but it just didn't help!
some are saying that not clearing the cache might cause some malfunctions but I did a passimg and let the phone update itself but there was NO difference!

Thanks mate, guess I shall just wait for the 2.3.4 and see if it helps. You know, there's always a risk of data loss with hard reset, as you can't guarantee a full backup of your data.
After roughly a week on 2.3.4, I'm happy to report that this black screen bug has completely gone from my Nexus One.

I haven't had this either, but unfortunately I've had the keyboard FC and the Messaging app FC a few times, which I also had with 2.3.3.
Had it a couple times on 7.0.2 stock launcher. Logcat attached (Had to zip it, 429k is too big to attach for a txt)

My S5 seems to be possessed. Its not rooted (cant anyway) no rom, have done absolutely nothing out of the ordinary to the phone other then install my normal apps from the play store.
Yet the phone is constantly, about 20x a day just going to the 'call logs' screen. I've rebooted the phone, logged in and with nothing open poof call logs. It seems to happen more when my fingers are hovering near but not touching the screen, is there some sort of air gesture for call logs that I dont know about ? Its never any other screen, its not like its accidentally hitting the 'back' button. It is starting to get a bit annoying ..
I notice mine opens apps "on its own". Not sure if its a gestures or hover thing or what. Usually gallery or phone, which are right next to each other on my home screen (all the way left). Must have something to do with it.

YES!!! My Rogers (SM-G900W8) does it too! I thought it was probably because I installed something, but, now that I see you have the issue !!
I posted this same question in the Q&A section regarding the call logs. Ultimately , I factory reset my phone. That fixed whatever the problem was. It was annoying the crap out of me.

I found the problem, it was my galaxy gear 2, every time it 'checked' my phone for new messages it would leave the phone on the call log. I turned off the option to open content on my phone from my gear and all is well now !
I have been experiencing this issue since upgrading to Lollipop on my S5. I too have a Galaxy Gear 2. I have just disabled 'Smart Relay' in the Gear App (which is what I presume you were referring to) and so far all seems good Thanks.
Hello
Ive had numerous problems while i was on KK 4.4.2 .681 and .757 with freezeing phone, random reboots(usually once a day) and touch screen issues.
I have asked alot here and over at Sonys support forum and ppl began to point out that i could very well have a hardware problem. Although the problems i have had on KK wasnt that odd. Since ive read about others having theese problems.
But early monday morning i thought that hmm why not try what a dude here suggested. Wipe the phone completley with cache, dalvik cache and all that and flash the latest 4.3 firmware with JB. Hmm oki well i did that, and so far i havent had any reboots, or any freezes. Camera is QUICK and takes better pictures. At some point i thought the touch was acting weird but that could just be the app itself freaking out, it was only for a few seconds and after that everything was working like it should. Battery time is better aswell(although it goes down to 75% quite fast but after that its slooooow).
So do you still think i might have hardware issues ? I was about to ship my phone back to China but now it feels like it is pure software issues. And i have had big troubles with the retailer to accept this as a warranty matter since he belives its a software issue.
But then again, my phone aint operating good at all with KK 4.4.2
So far everything is fine with the phone, missing some stuff from KK but not the end of the world. But im still testing. If it will remain on without a freeze until the end of the week i could be quite certain that it is KK that ****s up my phone totally.
Please respond with thoughts.
Who told you to wipe your phone? ..lol..
Just my thoughts about touch screen, I replaced 2 days ago my "lucid" classic transparent screen protector with one Anti-Glare, which is not lucid glass like many but is rough and it influence a little little bit on the visualization of the screen, tiny, tiny thing but the touch screen is much much more responsive.
Classic issue with touch screen, unlock with patterns, with the lucid screen protector sometimes it skipped the touch and I had to try 2 times to unlock the phone if the phone was put on the table without hold it. With the new screen protector it not skip anything.
Sometime a stupid thing can be the issue.
Could be the screen protector, remember the first one I had was a antiglare, and as far as I remember I didn't have those issues then. Now I have ultraclear one. Could be that, you never know. I do have tempered glass one wich I haven't used.
Just before the phone actually froze for a few seconds just when I took a picture, but it came back with no reboot. And I got a msg on WhatsApp and messenger at the same time so that could be what was causing the lag this time. Hopefully

Still no reboot! Used camera alot and done all sorts of stuff.
And today I changed my screenprotector to see if that would rectify the touchscreen issue. I used a tempered glass screen protector. O my god how much better that protector feels! But still testing for any issues

Some updates.
No random reboots!
But two other odd things occurred and one of them is known.
1. Touchscreen went crazy, it didn't press what I wanted and so on. I noticed it actually swiped on the keyboard. Turned that function off and unistalled the app "Color notes". Touch screen bugs are known and Sony even admitted it so.
2. I couldn't send sms today, tried to several but got error. Data and so on still worked. Restarted the phone and then it worked again (might just be coincidence). Although I noticed that it at some point it had trouble sending data, took forever to get connection even though I had 3-4 pins reception. Also noticed when that sms bug occurred that it switched from 2 pins to full every time I opened the sms to send.
But still no reboots. These things maybe would trigger reboots with kitkat, I dunno.

I have it all the time, I mean not the touch screen going crazy but the swipe one on keyboard, it happen always when I click on the letter A on left side, it really piss me off.
I think I have to turn off the swipe thing too.
Ye I've read about ppl having issues like we do and they just turned it off and then it works. Sony said they would fix the touchscreen issues in updates but still not fixed.
Btw, have you noticed that the "swipe" to turn off the alarm clock is less sensitive? It takes some trys to swipe to turn it off. Although it is a good thing because it makes me pissed and I have to concentrate to turn it off wich makes me to get up Might be an intended "bug".

Yeah, they are very lazy to fix this issues but they are not to put on the market a "new" device and forgot about Z1.

Yes, Yes, I am glad that I am not alone. It was less sensitive even before I turned off the "keyboard swipe" thing. So not really know if it's related to that features, it shouldn't, but you confirmed a "bug" which was keeping me thinking. O Lord, I dream about a Z1 bugs free! (dream only)
might not be

Well that Alarm swipe might not be a bug actually, ive tried it back and forth and if you "lazy" swipe it fast like you would when it rings in the morning it wont turn off. But if you do apply pressure and swipe slow it will turn off. Not a huge problem for me since it actually help me getting out of bed

The thing is, who know if it was meant to be like that? It was made with that purpose? Because if it isn't then it's a "bug".
Is anyone else having issues with video playback in landscape mode? 1/2 the screen freezes and the other half continues to play the video. It is the weirdest thing. Taking a screenshot shows the normal output. Trying to find out if this is common or if there's something up with my phone
I've had half screen turning black. Seems to happen after daydreaming for me, and coming out of landscape orientation even though the daydream never actually went landscape. Seems like a couple weird problems at the same time. Had to reboot to get out of the freeze. I've turned off daydream for now...will see if the freeze happens elsewhere.
1/2 Screen Freezing

I've experienced the same problem, the first half freezes while the second half continues with the video. I've had this phone for a week, and has happened about 5 times now. Have you gotten any more information as to why this is happening?
Have you guys changed your DPI? This issue seems to happen at certain DPI intervals.
I just posted a thread about this issue. I didn't notice your thread This issue is making me crazy I am wondering if this is a kernel related issue. I am on lean.

I have not changed anything regarding dpi settings. In fact, ive kept this stock....for now. I was worried it was just me but it seems to be affecting other people. 64gb Blue if there is any correlation between model number.
My DPI is stock. 64gb white. Rooted, unlocked stock bootloader, stock kernal/rom. I did figure out that a simple screen off then back on corrected the issue.
Still weird...

Yup that seems to clear it, however when you are showing off this massive behemoth to all your friends playing a video , it just gets a little annoying having to power off unlock and reload. I'm wondering if its been submitted to google as a bug.
I think it's lollipop issue

For me it happens with apps that have lots of motion on the screen. Waze navigation is where I notice it most. Two three times during 40 minute commute. Never happened using Google navigation.

I've noticed since I first got this phone that the top of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly. Starting a touch registers nothing, but the screen still functions like normal in a dragging touch situation.
The only way to fix it is to reboot. It's gotten to a point where it's annoying to deal with, especially if you're trying to do multiple things at once like replying to several text messages.
Any idea what the issue is?
Sounds like you need to call Motorola

I don't think it's an actual problem with the hardware, but rather the software.
For example, when it happens it usually prevents me from swiping down the notification shade, but if I tap on hold in the middle of the notification bar, it appears long enough for my to pull it down.
Besides, if it was hardware based, how could a reboot fix it?
And I also bought this phone second hand so I don't know how that would affect calling Motorola.
Hmm have you done a factory reset?

The only thing I can think of is if the phone was damaged and the glass replaced there could be an issue with the repair or the top of the digitizer.
Does it work when you apply pressure?
Do you have a screen protector on it? Tempered glass?
Do you have a case like the otterbox that has the screen protector built in?

1. No, its more like the top or the screen becomes disabled. One quick reboot and its back to normal until it happens again.
2. It did have a tempered glass screen when I bought it but I took it off.
3. No, I use my phone completely naked.
It's not much of an issue, its just a huge inconvenience.

That would make me mad when it does happen.
You could go into safe mode and run that for a day to see if the issue pops up. Then you will know it's a software not hardware issue.
Push and hold the power button until the power menu pops up. Press and hold the power off until the safe mode prompt pops up.
Give that a try.

I'll have to do this some other time, as I have classes today and I need my apps. I'm starting to think it might be a bug with Lollipop, my apps, or maybe a combination or both as I have experienced it on two ROMs, and I'm thinking of trying another ROM.
In the mean time, any other ideas?
Are you using Facebook Messenger? I've read quite a few times (on XDA and Reddit) that Facebook Messenger and more specifically "chat heads" are causing dead spots in the top corner(s) even when none are on the screen.

I have never installed Messenger, only the regular Facebook app. I uninstalled it just yesterday however.
Perhaps I have another app that causes those dead spots? But they would have to create it all across the top part of the screen.

Do you have any other app that has the ability to produce floating "chat head" like items? The only other app I know that uses such a feature is Flyperlink, a new app (or maybe not so new, I don't know) that a lot of people just started talking about recently.

Not that I am aware of; unless I did it a while ago and can't remember.
I think I may have figured it out though. I use AwSMS as my primary messaging app, and the Heads Up notification allows for quick reply if you swipe down. I think it behaves sorta like the floating chat things someone said earlier, because I can watch videos and leave most games running in the background without it pausing as I type.
