Is it possible for bad data/sectors in the memory card to cause the screen to go crazy randomly with the screen going dark or displaying all sorts of colors? It happens to mine randomly, but more often when im scrolling up and down.
Did you use any beta 3d/2d drivers? maybe thats teh cause, try a new rom
Nope, and nothing to do with roms, it happened on the official one. But could the memory card be the problem? The service centre person told me so, but since the screen issue occurs randomly, and even when im not accessing any program on the memory card, im skeptical.
Hmm
I have a similar problem, my screen keeps messing up and going competely white, or all black disappearing to white so I cant see much, and colours inverting etc. It usually happens in MxP (playing music == reading from memory card) but I blamed it on gtrabs ROM. I had a screener but forgot to back it up before putting a new ROM. Havnt used MxP yet to see if it reoccurs because my panel manager isnt working.
Mine not only goes white and black, it sometimes shows all sorts of colors. It first happened for mine on gtrabs rom too. When i was scrolling in titanium

I've had my unlocked Cingular 8525 for about 3-4 months now, and never really had a problem with it. At first it worked great, but recently more and more when i have it open to text and then close it the screen would get garbled and messed up, easy fix of just hittin the end call button a few times and it would clear right up. Well friday my phone apparently decides it has had enough of me.. It froze up. So as a fix all on my part i just ripped the battery out and put it back in, worked fine for a few seconds then froze again. So i thought maybe it was because i had so many text on my phone (over 8000 in my inbox and around 7300 in my outbox), so i started deleting all of those. After doing all that it continued to freeze and lock up in the middle of doing things. It has been doing it since friday morning now, and i have no idea what to do to fix it. It had all the original 8525 rom and os and everything on it, i just flashed to Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1 a few hours ago, and it worked perfectly...for like 45 minutes. Then it went right back to freezing all the time, when it freezes it doesnt have to be in standby, i could be writing a text, or clicking through a menu, or changing a setting, ANYTHING. I love the phone but idk what made it start doing this, i didnt change a single setting and i have never uploaded any programs or anything, just the stock progs from cingular and i uploaded a few ringtones. I have read that it could be the storage card, but it seems odd that it would just start doing it after the card i have has been in for months now (Sandisk2.0G). Idk what it could be, im at a loss..
ok guess my phone is just jacked then...
My old Alpine used to freeze up with TomTom (before they patched it to 5.21) because of the SD card problem, but I don't think it's related to the problem you're having.
It sounds more to me like a hardware problem - do you get any other symptoms exhibited by the handset when you get the freezing issue, or does it just happen without any warning?
Have you tried installing something like acbTaskMan to monitor your CPU usage and maybe log to a file to see if there's any excessive CPU usage before a freeze?
hmm just had a really wierd problem with my telstra branded 4G LTE I9505
i was playing a game and it seemed to freeze and the graphics started getting really bright and pixelated almost yellowish. almost like artifacting like with a modern PC game when graphics card overheats.
it let me open task manager but froze and started doing the bright thing again and was almost going white and pixelated. i took out the battery to reset as it was frozen.
now i boot it up and have a black screen but the phone seems to be functioning 100%. I still get the S4 logo come up etc, it gets to the menu because i can hear the sounds for notifications etc still. connecting to PC it still comes up fine, all buttons seem to work as i can hear them doing things.
very odd, is my screen dead? it would seem its not if the logo shows up still? it just gives the S4 logo but not the telstra logo after it that normally comes up.
any suggestions?
i've tried removing battery, sim, sd card and leaving out for a while.
just worried as i have it insured but i only rooted it about a week ago with easy root. It still has stock rom i just dont want it to affect my chance of claiming it on warranty/insurance. and since i can't see the screen i can't unroot it. grr.
any help would be appreciated.
forgot to add, 2 days ago i installed xposed framework and Xprivacy could these have somehow caused it?
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has seen anything like what I have seen with my new Edge.
I've had it for a week - I love the phone, the camera, the performance - there's a ton to love. This is the first phone I have not rooted and hacked on day one in at least 6 years.
OTOH, I have experienced 3 issues with the phone, after never experiencing a single issue in almost a year with an s6.
S7 Edge International, 64GB SanDisk Extreme Plus SD card.
1. Last night, my phone was in my pocket while I was doing some stuff, and when I pulled it out, it was completely unresponsive. Black screen, no cap buttons, nothing. I didn't even remember how to force a reboot - I haven't had an issue like this with a phone in a long time. I tried charging it (maybe the battery had dies?) - nope. I tried recovery-mode buttons, no good. I stumbled upon vol down and power, and it rebooted fine. No repeats as of yet, but is this anything anyone else has seen?
2. A couple of days ago, the camera wouldn't save pictures. I do not know why. It would open, focus, and the screen would do screen things, as if the photo was taken, but it wouldn't save it and it couldn't be consulted. Oddly, WhatsApp could still take pictures. A reboot fixed the issue, and I've yet to see this repeat, and I did try.
3. This one has repeated several times. I use Spotify for music and PocketCasts for podcasts. Sometimes, when I try to start the sound (with or without headphones), playback starts (the counter advances), but there is no sound. Changing apps doesn't change anything. I thought initially it might be that Game mode was locking out sound resources, so I turned it off - no difference. I tried killing any and all apps that might be stealing the sound - no difference. Once, after dancing around the interface for a bit, it started working, but other times, no. Rebooting obviously fixes the problem. This morning, on the way to work, I experienced the issue, so I placed a phone call - and after the call, the issue was gone. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
That's very strange, especially for the Exynos. I would try a factory reset, if that doesn't fix it, I would request an exchange.
Ugh, a factory reset does not sound like fun at all.

Yes i have had this issue 2wice so far - except that in my case the screen was on (once got stuck on weather page, and another time while i was in google play)
But as yourself - nothing worked anymore - no button no screen nothing at all - vol.down+power is the only trick that worsk
I am too puzzled as in what is causing this - i was looking to install some sort of even viewer app to see if there is a log - but couldnt find one
I cannot imagine what it can be - but whatever it is it completely freezes the phone - the screen wont go off - and it would literally stay like this forever....

A reboot fixed the issue, and I've yet to see this repeat, and I did try.
I have also had this issue - but this is due to SD card not being read properly by the phone - this seems to be an issue with many users and again no idea what is causing it but i heard is due to poor SD tray design

this problem i have not had but i never used the headsets so who know
Overall the phone works OK i dont want to return it just for this - but i do want to understand what can cause esp issue 1 and somehow happy to see its not just me having it - so maybe some sort of RAM/Core mismanagement > IDK
Also i have not had any single system updates since i purchased it on the 8th - so hoping one will hit soon and fix the issues :silly:
BTW fix for the Camera Failed issue is to turn OFF the Smart Stay option
I can add something simillar:
- sometimes the camera wouldn't open at all (error) and every time this is solved only by reboot; 2 times in 5 days already
- sometimes when scrolling in the settings menu, there appears some bluring frames (like an "indecision" between top-bottom...)
I encountered a similar problem with the camera.
While I was capturing a Slow-mo video the phone was getting really hot (Exynos international version, 32GB) but I was like, yea I knew that the phone would become hot because of the chipset so I continued.
At 4:58 the phone would freeze, non responsive to any buttons. After a few minutes the phone would reboot but the video got deleted.
I did this 3 times to check if it could be repeated and I succeeded. 3 times it would stop at 4:58 and crash and burn.
The fix for this problem is to switch from saving photos/videos to SD card to internal storage.
Kind of disappointed because the SD slot was one of the biggest pros to buy the phone..
guys - the camera failure issue can be fixed (until they release an update OTA next week) by disabling smart stay - not sure if this can also fix the slo-mo thing
Try turning off the App Power Saving mode!! This fixed my phone and now i dont have these weird freezes no more!!
Hi all,
I have a black S7 Edge International version (Dual Sim version). The phone as a whole has been working great. I have been having certain issues though, they don't happen very often. So I'm not sure if its related to certain apps I have or if it's an issue with the phone.
Each issue happened on a separate day.
First problem: The phone froze when I was editing a photo on Adobe Lightroom. This was the first time I was using the app, so I launched after installing it. I tweaked a photo and noticed the phone lagging. They it froze, and I couldn't do anything on the screen. Nothing worked until I did a hard reset. Afterwards, the problem didn't occur again, although I haven't tried Lightroom since, so maybe I should, to see if the problem is with the app. Does this happen often with lightroom? Or could this be a phone issue?
Second Problem: On another day I had my phone randomly start vibrating, like it was receiving a call. I had just made three calls to my wife, and thought she was calling back. However, there was no call notification, and nothing on the drop down menu. There was also no ringtone. The phone kept vibrating, and wouldn't stop. I pressed the power button and reset, then the problem stopped.
Final problem: Today, I've been using the phone fine. However I was playing angry birds and then pressed the home button, so the game was still on it's memory, and being multitasked. I used the phone again a few times, then I noticed on the bottom that the game launcher circle (was on the bottom of my homescreen), even though the game was not open (still in the multitask window - I assumed) I tried to click the multitask window, and the button lit up, but nothing happened. The multitask window had frozen. Again it required a restart, and now it's working.
Given that I'm having these three issues (none have repeated themselves though), is this just the phone needing an OTA update, early phone bugs, specific 3rd party app issues, or is it a more serious problem?
Should I take the phone to Samsung and ask for a replacement, or should I wait it out?
Would love some advice from people, and would also like to hear if you've had similar problems.
Current firmware I'm on: G935FXXU1APB6
Thanks!
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks!
I have the first problem on my phone.
But I didn't use adobe lightroom
and I've seen many user reported this problem in many different threads. it seen a known issue.
Thanks for that stone... Hopefully it's a bug... Would love to hear if anyone thinks that it requires a replacement... Also, i just found a dead pixel on the top corner of my phone... it's completely black...
Is that grounds for replacing the phone, or is samsung wishy washy about the whole thing?
I have the second problem; sudden vibrations with no reason, no app pending or anything else; I start to think it is associated with the Smart Alarm being activated (in Advanced settings).....
Anyway, really a bug, in fact the Smart Alarm and Smart Stay are known for having made other problems previously, but seems they didn't correct all the bugs.....

If there's a dead pixel I would return it.... There has been alot of people talking about freezing and rebooting... I've experienced too.... Most likely a software issue.... When I got the S6 last year my phone would reboot 3-5 times a day until a software update came out.... The continuous vibration I haven't heard anyone talk about... But if your still in you grace period I would get another phone for the pixels alone... Too nice and new to have to deal with that
Galaxy S7 edge
Hey, I have the same phone with the same firmware. I experienced the freezing right after I opened the camera from the lock-screen, it lasted for a few minutes and then went away. I'm waiting till Sunday to get the OTA and if I don't, I'm just going to update using Odin, considering how the firmware for the SM-G935FD and SM-G935F is the same.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice guys... I went to Samsung, and they said they would replace the phone for the dead pixel... Will take a week to arrive, but I'm just glad it's getting replaced...
I would return it immediately while it is within your return period.

Thanks Yerevan... I wanted to wait to see if I'd get an OTA update... Do you have the changelog for this firmware? What are the updates/improvements. THanks!
i mostly had camera freezes from lock screen and random reboots.... hopefully a software update will fix it
Occasionally my phone will just go crazy, screen will get all jittery,touching on a menu doesn't work ,it mainly happens on noughat stock and custom ROMs.,random apps popping up.any experience anything like that?a simple reboot fixes the problem.

It's an inherent issue with some displays present on the Moto G4. It most often happens when you charge your phone. Too much current builds into the frame of the display and you get weird ghost and jitter touches.
No way around it unless you send it in, and even then it may be only a temporary fix.
I also face this issue. Unable to find solid solution for this. Finally i decied to go for custom rom like RR and Invicta. This still comes occasionally(when Heats too much during phone charging)

On my phone this happens while not charging. Seems to happen about one out of every 3 times the phone is unlocked using the fingerprint sensor. Locking the screen and unlocking via a pin seems to be a reliable way of getting past the issue. Though occasionally it happens on the pin entry screen before it the pin has been entered. Needless to say, it IS annoying.
Same problem which is fixed.
I had this problem with the factory firmware too, intermittent bouts of the phone going crazy with phantom touches on my Moto G4. I sent it to Motorola/Lenovo after the supplier gave me their phone number and they did find the problem and fix it. Now I can play graphic intensive games even during fast charge and the phone is awesome for once. : )
Please note they will fix it for free if in warranty and bootloader not yet modified.
Pressing power button to turn off the display and then pressing power button again to turn the display back on will provide temporary relief from jittery screen. I noticed that the jittery screen has twice subsided over time but came back twice immediately after OS upgrade so blaming the problem on charging, or hardware doesn't seem accurate.
Updated 5/20/2018
As a last ditch effort prior to buying a replacement phone I deleted all apps I installed, reset phone and reinstalled fresh copies of most if the apps I needed.
I don't recall every thing I did but my focus was to delete everything I could and then reset phone back to factory state. After reinstalling, my jittery problem went away and has not returned. Your millage may very, so no promises. Phil
. I have touch screen issue(ghost touch) but this time not screen burn issue.. Now there is in winter.. I have checked battery temperature with ex kernel manager.

Without going service center And fix battery battery temperature to 25 degree.?
phone going crazy
Hi,
I am having the same exact problem. I have observed that Google Assistant is intruding because each time this happens, Google Assistant is trying to run. Reboot is a temporary fix but the problem persists. I have removed most of the third party apps just to see if anything changes but it did not work.
This is not something that was happening from the start. I have the phone for about 2 months put the problem only started a couple weeks ago. I would love to hear if there is a solution and what. Thanks
Sadly, but compared to the issues visible indoors, in outdoors this Lenovo gift turns complete crap:
youtu.be/dTcHclVEfCg
"Lenovo Moto Z2 Force touchscreen gets completely unusable when getting outdoors! The video is made at about 0 degrees Celsius. So it takes about 30 sec from getting MotoZ2 Frc to sleep with pwr btn (and wakeing up back) to see the touchscreen goes crazy. At -10C, it takes ~5 sec. At +15-20C, after several min it becomes unresponsive and have to use pwr button to recover.
Lenovo, what you have done to Motorola ?!!"
Can it be fixed somehow with changing the upper protective part? I have seen comments that the touchscreen can stop working completely, if peel off the cover part..
