Inverted Screen...Possible Fix...Works for me - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

When you push the power button and see that your screen is inverted, then.... with the screen still on, hold your phone tight and give it a hard flick of the wrist. This has worked twice for me.
Running Calkulin's 2.6, Overstew's ICS AIO, Launcher Pro
Is this working for anyone running different setups?

can anyone verify that I wasn't drunk when I wrote this? The wife says I didn' t do anything today but get ripped. I told her I helped a lot people...just not her.

I have had the screen invert once... I just rebooted...
I have also had my entire screen go magenta for some strange reason...

The screen "appears" to be inverted... but it isnt... at least not to the phone. unlock the screen with the same manner you always would even though the visual cues are wrong. What ever lockscreen you are on, just do the same motion again. then once in the normal home screen, rotate it around a few times and it corrects itself.

I know exactly what you are saying about being inverted but still fully functional....giving a shake a shake with the snap of the wrist solved the issue without playing games.

Download Spare Parts from the market and set "Window Animations" to "Fast." Haven't had the screen inversion problem since.

i had it one time and and using adw pro all i need to do is rotate my screen and it resets the orientation

BUG: screen lock does not kick in

first i thought it was launcher pro's fault, but after changing launcher and rom release i'm pretty sure it's something else i haven't tracked down yet.
just after a reboot phone works as usual: screen lock runs after 30 seconds or by clicking the power button
after a while (days or even hours sometimes), the screen lock does not kick-in anymore: the screen just turns off and when you press the power button the phone is already unlocked.
i noticed that when the phone is in this "lock-bug" mode the notification led constantly shows a faint red light (you can barely notice it in the dark because it's really faint).
tested with:
launcher pro
go launcher
factory rom 2.21
blurless 2.34
I used to have the faint red light on after flashing a new rom.
It disapeared after I changed display setting to not automatic brightness.
It seems that the faint red light is the light sensor.
But I know nothing about your screen lock problem.
I have run into the same thing. I have not yet noticed the light, but I've had the screen lock stop working on my phone twice (I bought 3 phones 5 days ago for work). Like you, a simple reboot fixed the problem. I also tried toggling screen lock in the settings, and setting up a lock code, to see if the screen lock would start up. Both of my times, the first I noticed the issue was when I received a phone call and didn't have to swipe to answer, but that could have just been coincidence.
It isn't really a big deal for me or the employees, but it is a nuisance.
Happened to me as well, twice. First time it was just annoying that I had to reboot, second time it drained the s**t out of my battery in three hours.
So it's a bug allright.

Screen on issues using Lightflow?

This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off. Its a bit hard to explain but pressing power lets the screen to come on for just a second but then it goes off...yet on the black screen you can slide it unlocked (screen stays off) A reboot goes back to the same issue. after many button combos the screen will finally stay lit. The only way I have found to cure it is to uninstall lightflow. (Im really not sure thats what is causing it) If you dont change anything when you lock it your right back into the black screen thing..... Anyone seen this using lightflow or not??
I've had this problem to. I had it when I was using the phone on stock without lightflow, as well as using it with HD revolution and light flow. I have no idea why its doing this though?
I had this problem when I used the app "Wave Launcher". I found the most effective way to keep the screen on is to call the phone, stay in the call, and uninstall the app..

Are you running the 350 mhz idle mod or UVing? Seems like your phone isn't getting enough juice.
I emailed the dev's a few days ago. They came back with the response to uncheck "s6e8aa0 control", which I believe is disabling access to the main screen. I haven't seen the sleep of death since. He also said to look for a future update which removes this option.
Hope that this was a helpful first post!

I have the same problem today! When light flow is active the screen goes on for a second and then stays black.
Sadly I can't find "s6e8aa0 control" in the newest version. Can anyone help?
Got it working. I should use the correct settings^^
But the program is not working how I would like it :/

Display Graphic problem

I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Screen starts to glow on it's own???

Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the screen of my one-v...
well I press lock button, so screen goes dark, but after a while it lights up for few seconds showing me lock screen... then it goes dark, and after few second it does it again.
after 2 times it stops, but it is annoying when you put phone on the desk, that it glows so you start to think about coming call or text.
what's going on?
lolsss..
haunted maybe
Sent from my HTC One V
haha well hopefully not
I thought at beginning that it could be caused because of apz running in background but I have double checked - there are not any

have you tried factory resetting?
Are you using an app like Keep Screen?
My friend had a similar problem when she used the Keep Screen app.
Have you received an update?
Try using another locker like GO Locker or Magic Locker. Inform if it happens again.
strange thing, but it magically stopped happening
That may due to your brightness settings which is set to "Automatic" by default.
well it was too early for me to say that problem is gone... it happens again today ;/
I have fixed level of brightness, no apps except battery life working in background... all newest updates installed.
any ideas?

Weird Screen Behaviour

I've been a happy fulmics user for a while now and had my G3 for a year and a half.
For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing a weird bug: On swiftkey, while typing, sometimes the keyboard closes, like when you press the "back" key or tap outside of the keyboard. I thought it was just swiftkey, so i tried erasing all the app data and starting over: No luck. Then I realized something similar happens when playing ingress, a location based game: Sometimes the screen would flicker like if another app gets the focus for a split of a second, then the game goes on as usual. Sometimes, while on a menu, tapping on buttons would be very hard: It almost seems like ghost screen touches. Finally, today I was trying to take a picture and noticed the same was happening, like screen flickering and some all getting focus for a brief period of time. The flicker effect is almost like when the screen is going to go to sleep mode when you press the power button or the screen timeout is reached.
When I first found out, I had my rom installed from scratch and only some apps (none of them system) restored with TB. Then, I tried with different config combos while installing: Stock clock speed, overclock, stock sharpening, no sharpening..... but I still have the same problem.
Does anyone else have the same issue or am I the weird one?
No Xposed whatsoever.
Thanks
