Random Flash-to-Black Screen crashes - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Lately I've getting constant crashes on my Nexus phone where the screen quickly flashes and goes completely black into a boot loop-like state. The phone is still on with background activity still running. I just can't bring anything up on the screen using the power key. Why is this happening? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Screen reversing itself, reboot only way to fix

MY phone has done this twice now. The screen with flip itself and look like I'm looking at the phone in a mirror. The buttons, words, icons are all mirrored but I still have to tap in the normal spot to get them to work.
I have to pull the battery to get it fixed. Anyone else have this happen?

I've had it happen once as well, don't know what caused it.
Some rom devs have identified the issue is with the screen orientation transition effects.

This worked for me. No one has provided any feedback as to whether it working for them or not.

It is the ICS rotation animation causing it. Sometimes you can reproduce it if you lock the screen in landscape mode I believe

I've had this happen to me a couple of times.
I never had to pull the battery to fix it though... All I had to do was turn the phone to a different orientation, and then turn it back.
Whenever I had that issue I just tilted my phone sideways and it fixed it. Did you try putting it in landscape mode after the issue?

I tried everything, it would even rotate mirrored. If it happens again, I'll try stuff

When it happens to mine I just unlock it and turn it to the side then back up, goes back to normal after.
Originally I was only able to get out of it by pulling the battery. If you use a lock pattern it doesn't respond correctly to touch inputs.
I went to take a screen shot of the screen while it was upside down/mirrored, and when it shot it the screen went back to normal. I was able to unlock the phone. Seems like an easy enough workaround till the problem is resolved.

Turn off auto-brightness, and power saving.
whats weird
thanks for the advice... i tryed but its not it.. i know what u mean were it can go from light to dark.. but this is a very quick flicker of the screen.
could this be kernel related or even hard ware... im gonna try stock kernel.. im using faux 009.. this didnt happen on the 003 kernel...
faux says not all chips are created equal...just a guess... id hate to return for a refurb phone.. when this is my only problem...
time will tell... i was just wondering if anyone gets this very quick flicker.. not a shift in brightness......

I rarely get them. Once in a while if I am switching from an apps to home screen via home button . I see the main apps on the home screen flicker very quickly once.
I think it started happening when I installed the wicked rom red. Before I was full stock . Matter of fact while typing this message I seen it flicker twice.

If you are in your 14 day period, I would exchange the phone.
This seems like a hardware issue, not a software one.
If the flicker continues then it will only get worse.

[Q] Keeps booting...

I was on the lastest beanstalk and I received a text while updating some random app in the play store. The phone rebooted during the process and its been rebooting since. It stops when I do a battery pull, I put the battery back in and it loads the Samsung logo and then shows the sII logo and about half way it reboots stays a black screen and boots over and over. Assuming I softbricked somehow I attempted to go into download mode and start fresh. When trying to do so it loads up the screen where it allows me to press up or down using the volume buttons but when recovery tries to load up and flashes green goes back to blacm and continues to boot over and over not allowing me to manual get into download mode nor recovery.
Any help or advice would be great thanks in advance for any willing to give suggestions!

Seems like your power buttons stuckk. Try cleaning around it with a toothpick and see if your phone stops rebooting
I was gonna try open it and clean it that way but a tooth pick sounds legit. Any advice is good thanks bros:thumbup:

Phone keeps turning off

Hey guys, I have an At&t GS3 and it keeps turning off, I think it may be the power button that isn't functioning correctly anymore because the lightest touch will cause it to reboot or turn off. Is there a way to fix this?

Lock Screen issues.

Has anyone encountered issues with the lock screen when running apps like YouTube for example. It usually starts to become unresponsive and eventually the system ui crashes. This only happens with apps that show up on lock screen.
