i was using wifi and opera browsing while all of a sudden i though it was reloading but the screen went black except for the top bar where the signal, volume and connection icons are, when i press any button the screen appears to react like if i pressed the lock button the top showed it was on the lock screen but still black below the top bari could not soft reset since the blackpart of the lcd was black and had no slider, i attached the USB cable and the Active sync/Disk Drvie screen appear when i chose either active sync or disk drive it got stuck on that page but the top part still reacted to the buttons so i took out the battery and put it back in
what could have been the problem, was it an issue with the phone but the screen though black was bright since the led lights were on so was it Sense having the problem the last hing i remember doing while using opera was aborting cleanRAM since i was using the device i did not want opera to close
any ideas?

Last night my XDA Mini S froze while using PIE, so I did a soft reset, put the phone down and went to sleep. Noticed this morning that it's stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen - still in Landscape mode which is what I was using when PIE froze. Done another soft reset, same problem. My LEDs are flashing as usual, one green and the Bluetooth one.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ok, it started working for some reason - but I noticed when it got to my today screen that my NotesToday plugin wasn't there. I went into Settings > Today > Items, and NotesToday was ticked. I unticked it, clicked OK, then re-ticked it and it showed up again on my today screen. Fine. However now everytime I press the power button to come out of sleep mode, my Today screen flashed up fine for about 0.5 sec, then flashed white for a millisecond, then comes up fine EXCEPT the whole "top" bar (i.e. the part of the screen with Start button, clock, signal strength, etc) stays solid white, and I can't see any of those icons. Rest of the screen is fine. If I click Unlock, the whole screen is fine after that.
Help!
I had a similar problem with a different part of the screen staying white after coming out of hibernate (the O2 active UI sidepanel)...Hard reset fixed it and the problem hasn't returned (although I don't use the O2 UI now...)
If your device freezes on the Windows loading screen, then soft reset it and while it is loading the next time, press one of the hardware buttons, such as the D-pad or the green or red phone buttons, continually as it loads. This should keep the lights behind the buttons turned on, and it should load Windows without a problem.
Had the same error on my phone, I think it tries to hibernate as it loads Windows or something equally stupid. Pressing a button continually prevents this and allows it to load normally.
Hello everyone, I have been searching constantly for any information on a problem that suddenly started today with my galaxy s4, and this is going to sound very odd for sure. For no apparent reason, i pulled the phone out of my pocket, hit the power button, and everything that is supposed to be white is pink. The touch screen will work for a split second, just long enough to get the phone unlocked, and then is all together unresponsive. On the home screen, once again, everything that is supposed to be white, (text, notification icons, time, ect) is bright pink. All the buttons are responsive, but the touchscreen does nothing. Upon hitting the power button to turn the screen off, you can see the pink disappear and the screen change back to normal for just a moment before it goes off, same when it powers on, which is why i can manage to get the phone unlocked. Anyone hear of anything like this?
You have either a loose connector or some other hardware failure.
After I have opened the camera app with double click I am not sure what I click on as I am trying to handle to phone to take picture a blue line appears scanning the phone which starts form top to bottom and then bottom to top and the phone becomes totally unresponsive. You cant unlock the phone and you cant take any incoming calls etc.
Not sure what happens after 30 minutes or so when you double click the phone then it goes back into the camera app and after you take a photo it works. If you don't take a photo and click back button the blue line starts scanning again and phone will become unresponsive.
Ntt sure what this is.
Phone SM-G9287.
I found what is happening.I have lock pattern setup to unlock teh device.Now when i double tap the home button it goes into camera app and then suddenly the blue line appears whcih moves top to button and bottom to top as if it is scanning.The phone will become unresponsive as i mentioned above i.e touch screen wont work but u can still take photos using up and down volume button but not by touching on the screen.
To overcome this you have to press back button and then press the hoem key 3 times and the touch scren becomes active again and hence now if you draw the lock pattern the phone will recognize it and unlock the device and it works normally.
Not sure this is a bug or not but very confusing.Can anyone try teh same if you ahve SM-G9287 phone and confirm if you are also seeing the same.

I experiance the same but My phone is loked whith fingerprint sensor.
My 10 day old phone freezes up when utilizing camera (activatd with double touch of home button. Touchscreen becomes unresponsive.
Nothing can be done to get it working.
Tried every hardware button, which seem to work as designed.

Only working option i can manage to do software reboot the phone with power button combined whith volume down key.
but after booting the screen is still unresponsive. see:

I was advised to do a factory reset and just after starting up the phone again and register myself the screen froze up again.
Does any one have a clue on this

So I managed to drop my phone a couple of weeks ago and crack the screen. The screen itself has remained fully functional despite a couple of purple lines down it and progressively worse flickering. It;s gradually started becoming more unresponsive and tonight it seems to have had enough. The stay on screen still display the time and if I press the lock key it will show me my lock screen and my notifications, I can swipe and remove these and if drag them down to read them further.
However, when I actually unlock my phone to go to my home screen, the phone screen goes black - I know the phone has unlocked because I can hear the sound effects when I press apps but everything remains black and I can't get the screen to come alive again until I lock the phone. If I double tap the home button, it will quick launch my camera and that works. So essentially the screen still works but won't show me my home screen or any apps (apart from camera), it's essentially blacked out until I lock it again.
I'm getting it repaired but am not able to do so for a few days. Any ideas how I can bring the screen back to life when I unlock the phone? I tried restarting a few times, leaving it turned off for a while and emergency mode - none of which worked.
Galaxy S5 G900F klte with LineageOS/eOS (Android 11) TWRP and Magisk Root.
The Screen works fine after booting the device. But:
- after the Screen Time out starts - the screen stays black (sometimes flickers a bit when pushing power button)
- also if i manual turn off the screen with i.e. pushing the power button - the screen stays black (sometimes flickers a bit when pushing power button)
Rebooting or taking battery out and back in doesn't help most of the time to get the screen back - and after the first screen time out / turning off screen manually it stays black anyway.
So at the moment I can only use the phone at home with my laptop (with scrcpy ).
I don't think it is a Hardware problem because when I boot into TWRP the screen works fine - for testing purposes i stayed for 2 days in TWRP and the screen came always back to life after every screen time out during the whole time.
Also the touch still works even if the display is black - when i see the screen on scrcpy i can see it functions normal when i touch around on the display.
I also noticed that the screen comes often back alive when i first start scrcpy with the --turn-screen-off flag and then push the home button 1 or more times on the phone)
Any suggestions how to fix that?
Is there maybe a graphics driver i could disable/change/switch in the development options?
