It depends on how many refurbs are available. If there are none it's a roll of the dice. Could be the 3D, The Epic 4G or Nexus S... Hell even an GS2 or a Shift.

It's a weird and random process that can be unpredictable.

We’re all getting pretty keen for Ice Cream Sandwich news, more so now that Google has postponed their announcement of both the Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich,

so with no new date given here is something to tide you over,the Clock widget from Ice Cream Sandwich to play with.

It’s pretty basic, no new settings or anything – it’s essentially the same as the Gingerbread clock just with some visual changes.

Download the apk file here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poyda69:
Has anyone had this issue?

I have tried a few different ROM's and have had this problem on all, the phone will work but sometimes when the phone is locked and asleep you cannot get the screen back.

If you ring the phone it will ring but you can't wake the phone up (the screen is off).

If I then pull the battery and reboot all is well until the next time, which is random.

I will remove all my programs to see if there is one of them causing the issue, I don't believe it is the rom as it has happened on a few of them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Have you wiped your phone when flashing the different roms? I've had it sometimes, i think it could be a ram management issue...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poyda69:
Yeh, I always do a factory/wipe, dalvik cache wipe.

I think it might have been TW4.5, I did some research and installed TW4 Manager I then updated TW4.5 to the latest Version. So far it hasn't happened yet but i'll give it a couple more days.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Yh ive been reading and TW4 generally accelerates the issue (because its a ram hog? not sure i dont use it) Im currently using Golauncher with system tweaks, but was told that nemus launcher and system tweaks was a better combination... Seems to be working, ive had less force closes or issues of that type
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pch.radu:
it's the proximity sensor. needs replaced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
I don't think so...

The proximity sensor is only used when your in a call. It should not have any effect when he tries to wake it from his pocket after a while...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pch.radu:
Well i am on 2.3.5 and using golauncher and never had any problems. Still my best guess is the damn sensor. On samsung apps there is an app called sensors i think and that app tells u what is working inside the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TieNN89:

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Sounds like a great app but seeing as the screen doesn't turn on that app might as well be useless in this case

I have the same issue with my SGS. Running stock version of JVT.

Wake up in the morning to phone alarm but screen is black. Pushing home button or any other button does nothing. Had this happen a few times now and only solution is to pull the battery :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
In order to help you we need to know what you are running currently and what you have tried to resolve the issue so far, can please make as detailed account as possible
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamboosz:
It's seems that everybody have this same issue. I have exactly this same - phone is working - buttons are lit, but the screen is blank. I'm on 2.3.5 stock firmware.

Trying to solve this I already did wipe and even formatted the internal storage.

What's more interesting is that this same happens to my wife's Galaxy Mini (S5570) !!.

I can remember though that when my phone was on v2.2 about a year ago it was working ok.

small tip:

What you can do instead of pulling the battery out is to press the power button for about 10 seconds ( phone will turn off) release and the press it again for few seconds to start again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hms666:
You don`t need to press power again, just keep it pressed until you see the samsung bootlogo.

Mine has started to blackout too, maybe it`s related to some installed software. It worked ok still few months ago. My galaxy mini is working ok tho, has only few market apps installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
The bug is called SOD (Sleep of Death). Apparently a Gingerbread only bug (I think deep sleep was introduced in Gingerbread).

Your phone is going into deep sleep, and can't be woken agian.

I don't know if there is a fix for it, but you could try search for SOD on these forum pages.

Take a look at top 100 apps/downloads, but if there is realy "a need of an app" then you have it on your phone ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] Aspsusa:
I'm sorry to be a bit hard, but IMNSHO answers such as "just look at the top free apps" are really less than helpful.

That said, it is a hard question to answer - especially as the OP didn't mention which phone (and carrier/country/flavour) s/he is getting, nor what things s/he would like to do with the phone.

I already have my new shiny Defy (all of five days!), and have been taking it slow, thinking I will root and flash anyway, so no use wasting too much energy on looking for apps for stuff that might already be in a customROM.

But otherwise I am also looking for recommendations for "must have apps" - but especially _opinions_ and comparisons.

I am sort of difficult when it comes to what kinds of apps I like - I can tolerate ad-supported, but I much prefer things that do only exactly what I want and don't phone home (or google :-)) as soon as they get a chance.

Last night I searched and searched for a simple mp3-player that would do only what I told it to do: play the file I pointed it at.

So far I am going to evaluate two: Vanilla Music and Folder Player.

For plain vanilla PDF-viewing I have so far settled on APV.

Widgetzoid is nice for feeling a bit more in control of your phone.

What else so far? A timer-app (yes, I'm slave to a stupid game), a db-meter, SpeedTest, Aldiko Reader. Angry Birds x3.

I'm not sure what all else I am looking for (excepting of course stuff to do with backup and rooting and such) - most of the stuff I would like to do/have is probably going to take rooting and flashing anyway (disabling that %¤//=!! search button I keep brushing against, turning off whatever it is that insists that I speak to the phone randomly, getting rid of this stupid weather service for good (what idiot embeds something so trivial in a way that it can't be turned off??).

And I want to find something cool that lets me connect various types of shaking to various commands/apps, a really good task monitor (the one that came with the phone is slightly useless - it can tell me _something_ is using 97% CPU, but is so slow loading that once it gives me any info the peak has already passed), oh and of course something a bit nicer for actual _phone_ functions.

google snappzmarket click on download app, install it

[General Questions and Answers] jayyo:
IMHO - task managers are a waste of time/space.

Docs2go is a great app, except expensive. I got mine during their Cinco de mayo (sp?) sale for $5, found it totally be accident. Whatever weather widget you have on there can prolly be removed by long pressing the widget or just uninstalling the app (unless it's built into the ROM, then you need root). Lot of stuff can be changed by rooting, even if you keep your stock ROM.

Oh yeah. Cyanogenmod kicks some ass.
[General Questions and Answers] Aspsusa:
So they say. I just like the option.

It is?

I got rather fed up with it on my Treos, unreliable, crashing as soon as you tried to do anything more than use it as ebook-readers. Glad to hear it is better now.

It does seem to be built into the ROM - that's what's so annoying. Who does such a stupid thing??!

(The widget was gone within 10 minutes of turning on the phone for the first time. But the process is unkillable and un-uninstallable.)

This weekend will probably be root&flash time I think. And just for the satisfaction of it I think I will obliterate that weather-stupidity before I do anything else :D
[General Questions and Answers] skitapa:
First you need root, then the fun begins:

ClockworkMod and rom manager to test new cool roms and mods. TitaniumBackup pro is awesome letting you reinstall all your data and apps very quickly.

Now you need a good launcher, i prefer launcher pro, with its built in widgets you don't need the paid apps that drains batteries.

Then you need folder organizer to sort and customize all you buttons. Droidicons or whatever it's Called is nice to beautify your dock.

Bankdroid to have your account balance on a widget, and better terminal for your terminal lusts.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
I bought my TF back in early May, and while it rarely happens, I get triangle flashes on my screen (almost looks like a big artifact). Because it is very hard to explain, and rarely happens, I've never posted about it. Either way it doesn't bother me enough to want to RMA. Moving forward, I just watched Chomper's newest chroid Touchpad video (linked below), which shows almost the exact same thing I'm experiencing. It happens 26 seconds, 37 seconds, and a few more times thoughout. Unlike the triangle flash being in the middle of the screen, shown in the video, mine starts somewhere on the upper left hand side and ends on the middle of the bottom. After purchasing my TF, I unrooted immediately, flash prime over stock, and prime over prime without ever doing a full wipe. At least I don't think I did a full wipe prior to the first prime flashing, but I could be wrong.

Like I said, it rarely happens, but I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this or had any info on what causes this. Thanks!
