why does this keep happening??

---

guys I have tried so so many ICS roms OFFICIAL and UNOFFICIAL. and still this problem persists.

the screen will lock up and display a bunch of lines and either purple, green, blue, or red. in this state the phone is totally unresponsive and requires a long press of the power button or battery to be pulled.

the only ROMS it does not do it with is GB ROMS. any ICS ROM will cause this to happen and I really would love an answer?

sometimes it will happen after a few hours. sometime it will happen 3 times in a matter of minutes.

I have F/R before every rom install and also wiped th CACHE AND DALVIK everytime.

attached is a photo.

I am currently on CM9 latest nightlys
( I know it is not rock solid ROM but so far it has been the least frequent with this issue).


PLEASE HELP!!

Hi I think your screen is going to die.

honestly i dont think its that. it NEVER does it on ANY GB ROM. its flawless on the GB roms. its only when i flash a ICS ROM it does this...

Even looks like hardware issue...Have you tried Hydrog3N which is based on ICS 4.0.4....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1530179

Really strange o.O

The point is that you can't really tell if it's no problem on gingerbread, because it happens in random intervals. Maybe on gingerbread you were just lucky.
Anyway, this is not normal.
Before your phone really dies, I'd install a stock gingerbread rom on it and update to Ice Cream Sandwich through kies.
If it happens on an original Samsung ROM, return it.
You don't want such a problem after you've lost warranty.
Maybe it'll become even worse in future, so better get a replacement.

Logic says that a bad flash .
possible a full wipe of the phone would solve the problem and i mean full format .

so how do i do a FULL format??

well, if your goin from a GB stock firmware, on your rooted phone download titanium backup, and backup all apps. The download mybackup, and backup all your contacts and the like (NOT system settings if you are goin from GB to ICS) and then reboot to recovery. flash the rom and gapps, wipe dalvik, cache AND YOU MUST restore to factory defaults/format or whatever. that is almost alwasy a must!

Then retore contacts/apps with titanium AND mybackup
This should work, unless of course it is a hardware problem, then i reckon you should invest in a $2 dollar usb jig, reboot to dl mode, and plug in ya jig. Thatl reset the custom counter, undo your root and pretty much give you back your warranty.


Hope this helps

EDIT: This always works for me, the main issue is just reinstalling the apps with the free titanium backup, and MAKE SURE each restore (for both mybackup and titanium) is NOT restoring data when going from GB to ICS or vice versa.

try with these wipes/format :

1) wipe data factory reset
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe dalvik
3) Mounts and storage / format system

then install the Rom zip file
