Hi,
I've purchased a a Samsung Galaxy 551 (I5510) (Middle east region) about a year ago and i was running android 2.2 fine for a while. When the Gingerbread 2.3 update came out i tried installing a European ROM because the ME ROMs weren't updated, it worked fine but had a weird glitch that if the screen was off (phone still working) for a while it would be very dark when turned on afterwards, it looked like this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwll8ZfgaD0
P.S. I didn't make the video, just linking it because its the same issue
it would randomly work again after a couple of lock-screen off-unlock cycles, then happen again randomly when it's off
I tried a number of GB ROMs (mostly 2.3.4) but to no avail, then finally the latest EU ROMs (I5510XWKPJ) fixed the problem, nowhere to be seen anymore.
After that i tried installing Cyanogen mod for the phone and the problem came back with different degrees:
1. Cyanogen 7 - normal boot, screen gets dark after being off for a while.
2. Cyanogen 9,10 - show Samsung logo at start, screen gets dark as soon as the cyanogen logo appears and continues to be
Any help on what would be causing that especially on the newer CM builds? and why it doesn't happen at all in (I5510XWKPJ)
Thanks in advance,
use stock gb rom XEO-KPG from here...u find no bug in it....install as one pakage through odin...

I will give it a try, though i have to clarify and say that on the current stock rom that i'm using (I5510XWKPJ) the problem doesn't happen. It only happens after i flash Cyanogenmod (any version) and persists till i reflash the Stock rom then it disappears again.
EDIT: Forgot to add that this isn't a CM specific bug as it happened also when i tried other roms too (Arkas, Miui,...)
You cannot say that this is a bug bcaz no other mamber of galaxy 551 and even me also not have this kind of problem....
So I think its problem of ur phone...

No change after installing (XEO-KPG) stock rom, the rom itself works fine with no problems, same as the (XWKPJ) I've been using. but as soon as i install CM the bug rears it's ugly head.

The reason i think it's a bug because it happens across lots of custom roms (which rules a rom being the cause) and it never happens when using the 2.3.6 stock roms. And on the custom roms it only happens after the screen has been off for a while, if i set the screen to never turn off for instance it never happens, but that butchers battery life.
IMO it might be a display driver issue, but since i have no experience with it i came here to get some help
Bump, any help would be appreciated.
i am having Xperia pro using viper Xperia5 rom with radeon kernel,i saw somewhere that vengeance kernel gives better battery life so i flashed the kernel and indeed battery life was amazing:good:,one day suddenly messages dont get sent,i dont understand what happened so i flash back my previous kernel to check...the messages are sending now..then i saw somewhere that lupus kernel was good so i flashed to try it,the messaging problem came back...my question is,is there any problem if we flash these kernel? i didnt get any problem with ultima kernel and radeon kernel...
I am fed up with the lag issue in this GRAND duos. tried all these methods
(1) reverting back to amf7
(2) flashing bna4
(3) flashing ubmk3
(4) disbaled stock gallery app
(5) disabled as many as possible official apps....
All the solutions proved to be just temporary. After 24 hours to 4 days it starts lagging again. Now I am sick of flashing firmwares.
My phone is under warranty up to 19 April. If I go to service center and ask for replacement of motherboard/phone, will they replace just on the complain "my this phone hangs a lot. I have googled and found that many users have flashed other firmwares yet phones lag. These users say that this problem has no solution but replacement of motherboard?" (I cannot tell them that I have flashed other firmwares myself).
If any user with same problem has flashed custom ROM, please share your experience.
Bro, though I've never flashed a custom rom on my grand , but my Grand is rooted and I've flashed a lot of mods on it , but my Grand never lags . It is very fast and buttery smooth . I want to ask you that wether you directly started flashing custom roms on your galaxy grand or in the beginning you just rooted and flashed some mods like me ?
@MohdGhufran
From what date is your last stock ROM?
I'm having the same problem. But I've used the CM11 on another occasion and did not face any problem. Then I went back to Stock and updated the same last week.
The phone was very bad (lag). So I returned to the CM11, but the lag continues.
I'll try an earlier stock and after the CM11.
I'll post the result here.
(Sorry for my English by Google)
@Mohdgufran - I agree... I m running umbmk1 ... after 3 to 4 days with out restart the phone starts to lag...
The only solution temporarily is to clear the ram in task manager...
Stay wid 4.2.2 and use a ram cleaner (it sucks a bit battery but its the only possible non technical solution)

Have you tried a factory reset, followed by clean flashing a smooth ROM?? In my experience, THAT always solves any problem...

Its the stock rom that is cursed..:/
I think u need a reverse gear.. First back to 4.1 version then flash with 4.2 November month version then use cm 11 custom rom.. Its fast.. Gud battery back up.. No lag.. And all with dual sim.. I hope this will work for u..
Try greenify and the cleaner both are small apps (around 1 mb) and it will speed up your phone .....
Hit thanks if you find this usefull
Didn't root.

I have not flashed any custom ROM on this phone. Neither have I rooted it. This lag issue started since my bro got an OTA update. So, as per solutions/guidance available on xda, I just flashed official firmwares (which proved to be just temporary solutions)

I have used many old firmwares. The last firmware I was using was of November 2013.

it is not like that stock ROMs are not good. It is just a problem with Galaxy Grand Duos. I had rooted my Galaxy R and Galaxy S Advance and had flashed Custom ROMs. All the custom ROMs had some limitations / missing features (like USB PC connection, wifi tethering, USB tethering, etc). This is why I do not want to flash any custom ROM on Galaxy Grand.

Yes I had tried this. Went back to 4.1 and the upgraded to 4.2. This too proved to be a temporary solution.
I don't want to flash custom ROM but now it seems like I will have to flash the same.
I solved my problem by not installing facebook and twitter as well as also installed battery saver pro which kills apps running in background for every five minutes..

Please notice that I have said: PHONE STARTS LAGGING AFTER 24 - 96 HOURS OF FLASHING NEW FIRMWARE. If anyone is not having lag issue even after 1 week of flashing firmware, please share your firmware / solution.

Download the stock NE1 France firmware from here (don't worry flashing another country's firmware wouldn't kill your device).Uzip the file you'll find a .tar file.open odin tick mark the AP tab and select this .tar file that you extrcated connect your phone to pc odin (phone should be in download mode) wait for ID COM Port on top left to turn blue in pc ODIN and hit start then.Sit back and watch it do it's magic

I have been having this issue for a long time, but I did not brother to make a thread. The problem is, if I enter the wrong pattern or code, the phone freezes and reboots. I have tried all types of lock screen, but they eventually freeze.
My Phone Specs:
S III Running Liquid Smooth 3.0 Official. Build 14/14 (4.4.2 Kitkat)
Default kernel which comes with the ROM.
Min CPU speed = 1212 Mhz Max = 1600 Mhz
P.S: I am having this issue since Liquid Smooth 2.3
Have you tried other ROMs?

No I have not tired other ROMs.I don't want to flash a different ROM to check -.-
I suggested other ROMs because the problem may not exist with other ROMs.
