This has been going on for a few days now, and I do hope that it ain't a hardware problem.
Currently I am running SpeedDroid, and this is what it happens.
Sometimes, the ROM will detect the keyboard as being open only for a split second. I mean, when I open the keyboard, it lights up about halfway through opening, and when completely open, the phone thinks it's closed again.
A reboot/ battery pull usually solves the problem. Could it be a hardware problem? Because sometimes it works great, and other times it just won't detect it no matter what I do. Is there a file/thing I can edit/check to see if it is alright?

I've been running Black 1.2 for some time. Love it. Never soft reset. Only hard reset it once. I'm using a Cingular 8525. What's weird is that it powers itself off randomly lately. 3 times in a row. It was pretty hot outside when it happened, so don't know if the heat caused it, but the screen would just die and turn off. Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to what causes this powering down? The battery is full. It was just super hot out? Hmmm.
I would suggest you upgrade to a newer rom dude
take a look in my guide thread which has the latest ROMs listed.

I considered it, but since Black 1.2 was released, I never had a problem with it. Very stable. Could it now after all this time just all-of-a-sudden cause random power-offs? Also, I noticed the device likes to power-off when I slide the qwerty keyboard out and lock it in place. Not every time I open it, but it has happened a few times now. ROM related? Let me know. I'll probably up to a newer ROM tonight.
Thanks.

Ok, update: Seems that EVERY time I slide out and lock the qwerty the device shuts off when I go to reply in a messgae using Palm SMS Threader. Is it the device or the app?
I had the same problem with my old JAMin (Prophet). I would keep the phone in a case and then wonder why I wasn't receiving any calls, then check and see the phone having turned itself off. Reloaded it with a different ROM and the problem went away.
Yeah, that's happened a bunch of times now. Just recently did I hard reset my device, and all was running great like before. Just all of a sudden am I having this issue with power offs and the qwerty kicking the phone off when I open it.
I have the same problem and I have come to one conclusion because I can repeat it.
If you are closing or opening the keyboard, but you do it quickly (like slamming the keyboard shut or open), it will turn off. Also, if you squeeze it while it is closed, it turns off. And I have made sure im not hitting the power button.
Try it and see what happens.
Yeah, it does it when you slide it out really fast. Noticed that. Haven't been able to repeat it every time, but the times it does shut-off, its from sliding it open fast. Now to understand why this happens, since it didn't do this in the past.
Hi, all. Please forgive a newbie's probable lack of etiquette.
So I've had my AT&T Tilt2 for a couple months now, and everything's been working beautifully. All of a sudden over the last few days, a few really annoying issues have popped up out of nowhere.
1. Out of the blue, Opera will no longer connect via WiFi. It had been working, now it doesn't
2. Periodically I'll look at my phone, and instead of "Start" in the upper left, it says "Messaging" and the clock is frozen at some earlier time in the day. A simple touch of the screen clears the problem, but it's annoying.
3. Sometimes, "Start" is replaced with "NewsBreak" and an error message ("Access is denied") has appeared as a running app in list in the upper right, but never actually pops up as an error message unless I choose it from the list. When I clear the error, "NewsBreak" goes away.
4. The sliding keyboard is sometimes unresponsive (messaging, internet, doesn't matter). To get it to respond, I have to click the physical "start" button at the bottom of the phone, then close the start menu. After doing that, the keyboard works fine.
All these problems started about the same time without having modified the phone in any way. Anybody ever seen these before?
Thanks!
p.s. Audio from the built-in speaker is really distorted. Is that normal for this phone, or is my speaker faulty?
Not sure why you have problems but windows does get corrupted from time to time. Just today I had to hard reset and load a saved known good back up when the phone would go to sleep and not be able to be turned on with out a soft reset.
Hard reset it, loaded backup, resynced and all is good now. Somthing must have got goofy.
Hey,
I have flashed this ROM a few weeks ago and I am experiencing some problems. Sometimes the mobile phone can't be 'woken up' when the display is off. Power button or any other buttons don't react. I have to pull out the battery and reboot. Sometimes it just stops reacting while touching the screen and the device is 'stuck'. Only pulling the battery solves this.
Another problem is with a folder on the desktop. It just doesnt open. It doesnt happen that much but it is annoying sometimes. I can touch it, the animation of touching appears but the folder doesnt open. I have to reboot to solve this. Anyways the phone is not as fast as it was before the flashing...the animations etc. are slow and needs to load up. Also while using wifi/mobile internet it gets very warm. Is that normal?
Any solutions? Tried to search for those problems but couldnt find anything. Also tried to send a msg to the developer on his website. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Hi!
I brought my Xperia Play phone USED two years ago and I've never had any problems with it.
However, recently, the phone has started to freeze itself in "screensaver" mode (Where the screen goes black after 15 seconds and locks the phone), but the screen won't light up no matter which button I press. I've had to restart the phone every time this happens.
It's been behaving strange at start up as well, as it sometimes take 20 minutes just for it to turn on, while on other occasions, it won't turn on at all!
Is this problem caused by the battery, or is it the hardware?
Is it with stock firmware?

Yes.
I've never modded it or installed custom firmware/apps.
Have you tried factory resetting it?

Yes, but it didn't fix it. The problem still occurs.
tldr: Black screen, no display, everything works "under" (I can answer the phone etc). Not a flex cable problem because occurs randomly, regardless of the slider being open or closed. The problem also occurs during boot up, so rather not a software problem.
I think I have something similiar. Everything was fine until a few days ago the screen didn't want to unlock..or at least I thought it was that.
Basically the phone sometimes works OK but sometimes if I turn off (lock) the screen, it won't go back. To be precise, the phone works and if someone calls me I can pick it up moving the finger where the slider should be, it's just the display doesn't turn on. Same goes for booting, bootloader logo etc, so IMO it's not a software problem.
Strange thing is that it just randomly pops back, sometimes when I move the gamepad slider, sometimes when I put in a jack cable or if I hard reset the phone (remove battery). I've had problems with the flex cable in the past and this time I know that it's not it (no difference if I open/close the slider).
My guess would be some power supply or LCD driver IC issues, because the screen stops working almost everytime if I put the phone into the dock. Moreover, if the screen doesn't work, the orange charging LED is not working (green and blue are OK). The moment the screen starts working, the orange charging LED starts working too.
it's very strange but I'm used to electronics doing strange stuff. Just wondering if I should give a try disassembling the phone and trying to fix it or just buy a new one or something?
I might add that I have bought a new battery ~3 months ago, but it's been working fine to this point. I have tried if the same problem occurs with the old/original battery and it's the same.
well, any ideas?
edit: This video shows something very similiar (except the backlight): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4p0-kv1cxA
Same problem. And I guess this guy has it too.

Any help?
Hi to all,
my beloved tablet suffers of screen problems, infact randomly the screen turns black and i have to restart to make it working again. However, durig this issue the tablet seems to work propely, infact if i connect to the PC, it recongnises the tablet properly and I can access the internal storage and also sdcard , if i try to change the volume I can hear the regolation signal.
Furthermore, also the power button seems to work properly, if I press it once the brightness power off, if I press it again the brightness turns on, but without image.
I would try to use some apps like visor to see if the tablet really continues to work but everytime i forget i have not the pc or with me.
Now I have cm12.1, the same build since a lot of time, and I read something that blames the kernel for this issue, but I'm not sure about it because for a long time I had not problems.
There is a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Same problem
Hi did you ever solve your problem because I have the same thing happening with similar conditions.Just seems to randomly not show any android but the screen is just lite.thanks Stuart
Sorry bro, I don't have it anymore, I would suggest you to try to go back to latest stock firmware and check if you can solve
