[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
I noticed on the battery drain thread a few people have described this issue where the screen flicks on and off occasionly while in standby.

I have noticed this myself many a time on the occasional chance that i glance over to my phone and see the screen flick on and off. I was hoping it would just dissapear but still happening. I guess this deserves its own thread to find the cause?

Obviously its hard to pinpoint what does it, so far my gut feeling is telling me it only flicks on and off when wifi is enabled? Dont think ive noticed it while on 3g only.
[HTC Desire S] tasgr86:
i have this flickering too ,even when wifi is disabled.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
I have had this issue too & it gets very annoying during the night

I have tried disabling 3g,WiFi,auto brightness,pocket mode but it didn't help

i am currently on stock ROM ,do the people using custom ROM also face this problem?
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
Yea im using coredroid, i imagine its a nasty battery drainer too
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
Same here.. Went to the htc service,told them about it, they scratched their heads and said that they could send it to waranty but if all you guys are facing the same problem i guessed i shouldn't bother because the new one is goig to do the same..

Also, excuse the off topic, but anyone having problems with the "locations" maps. Mine fails to start. I mean, it starts then exits in about 2 secs..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I've read abut this problem in other threads on this forum but over the last few months have never experienced this problem On my own device

I've not encountered this issue on either my base stock rom or on any of LBC ROM version which I've run for the last month
[HTC Desire S] szallah:
when you're sure it'll happen at least once within time x, i would install eclipse + adb-drivers, hook up the phone, and then have a look at the dmesg/logcat log as soon as the display turns on...

might be worth a try to finde the reason for this behavior, which i luckily don't experience...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
The odd thing I find is that only some people get this, perhaps people who suffer from this should post their country of purchase, rom and radio version so we can attempt to identify if this is related by something in common

I'd also suggest that people who suffer from this also try factory resets and try running stock without any applications so that we can see if this is caused by a particular application or is indeed rom our device related
[HTC Desire S] Starfine:
Yeah, you're right.

last night when I was playing with my friends, I took a glance on my phone, it's just a bling bling bling occasionally. I don't know why.

I'd closed wifi but 3g was on.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Haven't experienced this but I'm pretty sure it's a kernel problem for the wake-ups. I saw in the battery use menu some tiny blue bars while the screen was off -> wake-ups.

If we can catch it on a log and report it to a dev, I'm sure he could fix this.

has anyone else with this problem tried changing the radio?
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
Noticed this again tonight.. i swear i dont notice it during the day either theres a process causing it at certain times or i simply dont notice it during the day as im at work.. how would i go about debugging this issue? Thx
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Did you try my advice above,

Which unfortunately involves resetting and running stock for a bit to see if the problem still occurs?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
@bongo1 i also face the problem only at night

can you tell me your radio,hboot,kernal version & the roms you have tried?

@ben_pyett the problem happens only during night & when my room is dark & it doesnt happen in a regular interval so it maybe difficult to spot,can you try staring at the device for 2 mins or so in a dark room once more for me? :) just so that i can confirm

& i tried factory reset ...& i am on stock rom ,cant try others as i am s-on
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
Im running Core Droid latest V1.1, rom is probably irrelevent as i have noticed it on other roms too.

hboot 0.98.0000

radio 38.03.02.11_m

baseband 20.28.b.30.0805U

build 1.36.841.3 CL39875

I would tend to follow your idea that it only happens in dim lit circumstances, i have particuarly noticed it in a dim lit room however its possible we only notice it because its more noticable in a dim lit room.... will investigate further tonight.

How would i go about abd debugging this? im not realy sure how to start.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm reasonably sure that my device doesn't have this problem, as every night since I've owned it (about three months now) I've sleep with the phone on the table next to my bed as it's also my alarm clock (about 12inches from my head). :confused:
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i suspect the same thing

the only common thing we have is the radio rom & the hboot ,i doubt the hboot has anything to do with this...

can you try changing the radio if possible? i am unable to as i am s-on :(

im not sure how to use adb myself as i am still a noob :D

but try reading these guides (not sure if they are what you are looking for)

So I'm not crazy... :D Noticed this once at night. But it was so short and the display brightness was so low that i wasn't sure if it was only the reflection of the light outside.

I'll try to hang it up with logcat tonight. I also noticed that the phone wakes up even if the display isn't active at least 20 times last night. Though it didn't hurt the battery that much.. This is annoying me.
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
Okay. Tried just about everything there is to try (except for radio image flash), still no solution..

The issue persists with stock rom, s-on, s-off, rooted, unrooted, lbc rom, virtuous rom, etc.. It flickers all the time, at about 2-5 min intervals, more noticeable at night (well due to the absence of light i guess). Wondering if i should send it to service as still in waranty.. The problem is that i do not mind the screen flicker but the battery drain associated to this. Let me explain how bad this is.. I disabled everything: backgroud data, wifi, mobile network, screen backlight to minimum, sync, pulled out sim and sd card, fully charged and went to bed. After about 8 hrs of sleep when i woke up phone battery was at 76%. Do the maths and that's 24% battery leakage due to just android os, sense stuff and this stupid flicker.. As i'm seeing this is not a common issue as this thread is not flooded with replies. In a dilemma right now as i really want this fixed but i'm kinda' reluctant to send it to waranty as the other aspects of the phone are brilliant and don't want to end up with a refurbished replacement phone or with the other problems associated to the DS (screen edge backlight bleeding, squeeky casing, poorly mounted display).

My specs right now are:

AlphaRevX S-OFF

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-38.03.02.11_M

Dont worry about md5, it just means it will verify its integrity.

As for the steps, if thats what it says on Intratechs guide, then those are the steps you should follow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IllusiveGuy:
In Intratech's guide there seems to me that there are three sections. A stock kernal section, a Frankenstein firmware section and a rooting sections.

Which is why I thought 1) Flash Frankenstein firmware, 2) Follow the instructions in the rooting section, 3) Flash the stock kernal because the final step of the quick rooting guide says "now you can flash the Stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle just like how we flashed the insecure kernel above."

i believe my question is out of place here but i'm not able to post in any development related forums since i'm new here..

my problem is that gingerreal 6.4 rom doesn't have a rtl fix and the developers claim that their 5.1 rtl patch works on the 6.X versions too, so i backed up my rom and tried it but it just got my SGS into a rebooting loop and i had to reflash the rom since the back up idn't work for some wierd reason..kinda sucks :)

is it just my problem? is there anyway to solve it? or if not, could you make a patch that does work on 6.4?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itskapil:
Hello Parth, I had this ques too. And here is what I think about it.

I think one doesn't need to use the 2 additonal files -- *EFS* *Kernel* -- when flashing the FULL ROM. I think one can flash that file under PDA tab when one needs to restore your EFS or sth -- maybe, Samsung took care and had built a system (and this file) which together would restore phone's EFS back upon flashing the this file alone in the PDA tab. (We've used PDA tab to flash kernels on Galaxy S countless times, right?)

Actually, my Indian GalaxyS2 was heating a lot after flashing the great custom ROMs available here -- Batista, LeoDroid, Cognition, VillainROM, etc. (BTW, I like Batista ROM a lot). I thought maybe the new firmwares used as base in these ROMs is a problem or the kernels used there in, so I downloaded the KE8 (for India) and it really surprised me finding as many as 5 files in the package.

I flashed 3 files -- *code* in pda tab, *csc* in csc tab, *modem* in phone tab -- and it was a successful flashing. I left the everything else untouched in Odin 1.85. I think you've flashed it successfully too but just in case you needed any help, so i clarified the flashing.

BTW, I haven't tried flashing the *EFS* file separately. Same for *kernel* file. But I'm gonna try it soon. But I think both these file exist to restore the default things on Galaxy S2 -- particularly suited to that region's firmware -- so that one can flash them (putting them in PDA tab) over other firmwares, ROMs, etc. But, lemme clear it, I haven't tried it yet and would let you and others know when do that, ie. flashing the *EFS* or *kernel* separately while phone's running a custom ROM or other firmware.

See ya!
