I have been getting a black screen, now and then with ota 5.1, unlocked but not rooted, US Cellular. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what is your experience? Found any fixes (other that workarounds)??

Symptom: black screen, lower and upper bars appear and seem to be functional.

The best workaround seems to be to twist start the camera, then hit the on/off button to put to sleep and then wake it up. The reason for the on/off trick is because the back/home/recent buttons on the bottom don't function. Oddly, after the workaround, going back into camera, those buttons work.

To me, is seems to be an app issue, which one, I don't know. Maybe something putting it to sleep, or something with the screen lock/phone lock 'features'. A bugger to track down.
