Factory reset also seems to fix black screen problem.

Sure? Could you please try to watch any video of this page http://www.ndr.de/mediathek/. Let it just run for at least 5 minutes and do something else, then take a look if the screen is black.

I Just watched a video on that page for about ten minutes and paused and played several times without any problems. I used Firefox.

I also can confirm that there are no issues at all with ricks kernel v15.
No black screens/lags or whatsoever.

what is this ricks kernel ?

Probably this one by Rick Roll ?

Haven't used any custom kernel on this device so far

Thanks

Yes, sorry, thats it

I think I found the problem with the black screens...

The fix:
Go in developer settings and disable hardware overlays.

Yeah it's a bandaid solution, but it seems to help. The bug seems to be a project butter problem.

Factory reset doesn't help.

Sorry, I tried this and just had a black screen whilst using type mail.

Thanks for testing. I think you are right about disabling hw overlays not solving the black screen problem. Although, since upgrading to the latest nightly build,I have not had a black screen so far (it was happening twice a day before that even after a factory reset).

Even though disabling hw overlays doesn't fix the black screen, it still tells us more about what is wrong. If disabling hw overlays doesn't help, then the problem with our screens going black is not the same problem as on the nexus 4.

I think the problem with black screens is caused by a bug with surfaceflinger or the framework. The last two nightly builds have a lot of fixes to the systemui and framework. Are you testing with the latest nightly build?

 

[dwl99]

I'm on 7 May build which has been rock solid so far. Will try a newer nightly.

 

[DSC05]

I'm on latest nightly build and I couldn't get black screen though heavy using. So maybe maybe maybe....

 

[ThunderBolt_BR]

Same here. Used it all day and no black screens.

With 20150521, the system seems very stable. I can't get it to crash yet after two days.
With 20150523, it goes to black screen within a few minutes on fresh reboot.

Edit:

With 20150523, I've forced a reboot three times and got black screens each time after a few minutes of usage with the news reader. I've gone back to 20150521 and it is stable again. I wonder what's changed in the latest build that is triggering this.

Edit 2:

I spoke too soon. I just got another black screen with 20150521 when using Google search app. I hope we can fix this.

Can anybody say if the back camera works or not? The "ov5693" one.

The other camera module isn't working yet for aosp.

For last week i tested new versions nightly with RedKernel # 15. I had no problems at this time with black screen issue. Yesterday i did a clean install version 20150521. Within two hours i had three times the black screen issue. I was using at that time Pocket. Today installed RedKernel again. So far, no error occurred. Sorry for my bad english...

The only problem is that my sdcard unmounts with latest red kernel.

Just tried the latest nightly with a clean install for three hours. Had three SODs. As much as I hate to say but this ROM and all his derivates are pretty useless in their current condition.

Isn't there an official maintainer for our device? Isn't it possible to log anything which could help? I would like to help to get this working.

Sadly this problem exists on my mako too. But the issue occurs a lot less often.

Going back to the latest cm12 nightly for now. This works flawless and the differences between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 are zero for my uses.

Does pure aosp have this problem?
