[Q] Frequent Screen's Turning Off - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to Jelly Bean 4.2 and then rooted it. Ever since the screen turns off before the adjusted screen time out and the device gets locked and freezes. Every time this happens, I have to wait for a good few seconds till I can swipe the device open. It's indeed a hassle as it seems to be happening more frequently now.
Can anybody be of assistance. I am already most grateful.

I figured it all out myself. It was the so-called smart cover that caused the problem.

Serious stability issues unrooted Galaxy Nexus

I've been having some pretty big issues with this phone ...it's unrooted running stock ITL41F still on 4.0.1 in the UK
Its been 7 days that I've owned this phone now. And few times it has just crashed. I could be in the middle of typing something, or anything else just coming out of an app, and the screen will freeze go black. And done! Crashed.
And crashed such that it doesn't start I have to take the battery out and reboot. It just dies. It happened a few times but I was setting my phone up so I let it go but now this is just downright annoying. It happens once in two days or so.
Second, and this is even worse. The phone is not dying but goes in a sort of coma. The screen becomes unresponsive.. and the keyboard doesn't work!! And in most apps only selective touch input works...let's say in whatsapp I was talking to a friend and it was working okay but suddenly it stopped accepting my input for a new mesg. And then I couldn't open another chat. Lots of things started being unresponsive...
I went to the home screen and even the Google search bar ..when I clicked on it the keyboard came up ( which it wasn't coming while middle of whatsapp chat) but it didn't accept any input.
I tool the battery out. Rebooted. And it worked initially but then after a few minutes. Exact same problem.
Rebooted again. But again same problem !! That was a bit of a horror really
Right now it seems to be accepting my text input but ... really don't know what the heck is going on for both these issues above. Any advise will be appreciated
Also yeah I do have quite a few apps installed on this device ... considering its stock ROM this should be safest against a vulnerability but any advise on if I should install one of those anti virus apps on it? Or any sorts of apps that I should avoid which cause such major stability issues with ur phone ??
Cheers

I've only experienced few of your issues.
Coma and reboot happened a couple of time while I was on 4.0.1.
But since getting 4.0.2 a few weeks ago those issues went away.

4.0.2 ftw.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
There are a few threads here with people experiencing similar problems. My screen goes black and also requires a battery pull.

4.0.3 ftw. Either flash a custom rom or get the 4 0.2 update to help with your problem.
Definitely a software issue that you're having.

I refuse to believe it is 4.0.1 it has been long delayed in the UK
That wouldn't be the case by Google if it was fixing such serious stability issues with the phone
Why do you come here doling out suggestions when you have no clue?
I am having the same problem again now everything is very slow and even the keyboard doesn't open in even Google search most functions unresponsive
And now most apps are force closing on me
IMDB and now xda app too. The phone is half dead the back buttons don't work either
This is the same thing that happened earlier in the day when I posted, and then the phone worked okay but now its back killing my phone
Anyone has any clue what could be going on ? Also this is the GSM version in the UK on 4.0.1 so only if you have a clue please respond else thank you very much
Now even settings page says its not responding
I can post on xda and it works but when I press back that doesnt.
Back doesn't work in any screens. The settings page not working was a classic screenshot will attach here from a PC.
Sorry for the continues rant folks. Just giving as much info as I can to those knowledgeable folks who might be able to help
The crashes arent stopping ..and the 4.0.3 isn't coming to the UK for some reason either ( which leads me to believe that it has some fixes for LTE which isn't available here anyway)
Aren't other users in the UK facing this crash problem - like once in 2 days or so??

Uninstall some of the apps you've downloaded that run in background. Battery Monitory was causing my phone to randomly reboot every other day or so. I uninstalled it and it was fine.
If that doesn't work, there's always Factory Reset.

Weird screen glitch

Every now and then my screen goes all weird like in the photo. Anyone else experience this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've never experienced that but if it's glitchiing like that and you capture with a screen shot it could be a defect in the gpu or a software problem, I'd suggest backing up your data and apps and doing a factory reset if the problem persists then it's time for an RMA

Anything?
Hello,
I seem to get this problem (sometimes on a more severe scale) since late. I use a rooted galaxy nexus running jelly bean.
I noticed this seems to happen (almost exclusively) when I use the google navigation app or play dead trigger (zombie shoot em up style)
during either of these activities, sometimes the whole phone glitches like so and freezes often causing me to restart the gps or the whole phone, its really annoying.
I was wondering if you had any luck with your issue

[Q] Installed CM10 and the Logo Randomly Appears

I installed CM10 earlier today on my galaxy s III, and as a previous Galaxy Nexus user it's great to be back on Jellybean!
The only issue I've encountered so far (it has happened two or three times now) is that the screen will black out closing whatever app I'm currently using and the Cyanogenmod logo will just randomly pop up. It's the logo that is displayed when the phone is booting. It doesn't seem like the phone is restarting, so I'm a little confused about what is happening.
Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a way to make it stop? Or is this normal (like some sort of advertisement)?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a soft reset. That's happened to me before with cm9 on my galaxy note.

This happened to me when using a certain app. I deleted the app and it hasn't happened since.

Galaxy note 2 intermittently has white horizontal light flashes at bottom of screen

Hi all,
I bought 2 units of SGN2 recently and found out that sometimes during from sleep to awake or from lock screen to unlock screen, there is a line of white light flashes across my screen horizontally at the bottom just above the home button. To be sure on the problem, I had tried out 4 more units of SGN2. 2 from my friends and 2 from shops display units and they all having same symptoms. Had sent back to Samsung service center and they had my phone formatted and reloaded software. Also done a full factory reset but still not resolve. Does anyone else seeing this symptoms? Is this a software issue? by the way, my phone is not rooted and still using original stock rom 4.1.1 Jelly bean.
Please advice. ...
Thanks

wow, thought I was the only one experiencing this. Hope there's an update on this one. Will try calling Samsung about this.
Me too
Hi,
Had try not using the ripple effects. Its the same. However, I had raised this issue to Samsung and their service personnel replied to me that it was a software issue. Ask me to wait for next software update. Anyone who has this same issue should highlight to Samsung too. Hope there is a fast fixed.

I have to say, my phone died 2 years after. Exactly that.

Screen Rotation bug?

Hey there, just want to consult something to you guys. For the past few days I am experiencing a bug in screen rotation. Seems like the phone cannot detect the accelerometer and it doesn't rotate the screen/app accordingly. I also tried Rotation Locker set to auto but it only rotates when I lock/unlock the phone. Apparently the issue can be fixed by restarting the phone but it goes back again. BTW, phone is stock unrooted MB2. I experienced this after MB2. Anyone having the same symptoms?

Disable smart rotation.
Search this forum. I saw this problem long back

Also started experiencing this rotation bug with DMB2. I thought it was just because I was pushing the system to the edge.
The "smart rotation" comment above does not work. Only a restart does the trick.
This is so annoying. First, the battery issues. Now this?! Come on, Samsung. Don't kill my love for the Note 2 with your stupid updates.
Mine does the same and I have exhanged one unit because of it and still happens its weird wished samsung would fix it. Only seems to happen when I watch a video for long period of times. Dont have smart rotation enabled either its a strange one.
