Today I experienced a problem with my phone for the first time since I got it in April, but 2 days after updating the firmware.
When attempting to view the right side of the home screen, it wouldn't let me, it simply bounced back to the middle screen. A restart fixed this but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or could shed any light on the cause?

Today I woke up and was on my phone a started seeing horizontal lines flickering over the screen.They star almost from the top and go down close to the bottom.Is there a fix for it or get a replacement?
Replacement, there is no fix. I had that issue about 2 weeks after getting my first SGS.
Same thing happens to me, except only when I turn on WiFi.
Yea I just discovered wen my wifi turned off the screen flickered again nd also wen wifi is working like when im loading a webpage

So, just recently I had a problem with the phone when I tried turning on the screen but instead got small coloured pixels and the screen started glowing green. When I rebooted it rebooted normally but the screen stayed the same. It seemed like everything else but the screen display was working. Don't know if that makes sense to you guys. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Only problem I encountered with S4 wqs straight out of the box after connecting to a genie to transfer data for a customer the screen on the S4 just went haywire and snowy like an old tube tv. Other than that haven't seen anymore screen issues.

That's exactly how the screen looked. Do you have any idea how it could occur?

Honestly didn't happen till it was connected to the Genie. Other than that I am clueless.
Tapped from the Shear Galaxy Near You!
Similar screen death problem
I have had an AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 for 2 weeks and love it. I was having a battery drain issue but powering off and back on seemed to fix it (also I am no longer ending the Google Play Music process from the Task Manager which may have caused the common "Media Server" battery drain I was having).
But today, I had a similar problem as the OP =(
Unlocked my phone (using the pattern to unlock) and it lagged as it tried to display the home screen. When the home screen showed up, the colors immediately went whacky, all white-washed and faded, then a half second later and the screen went black. Screen completely dead.
I can still hear sounds from the phones and see the status light so I know the rest of the phone is still working. It responds to me unlocking the phone and pressing the home, back, and settings button.
I will be taking my phone back to AT&T this evening but just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or solutions. I will post an update after visiting AT&T.
Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen triggering at different places when touched, or randomly knocking off the phone when you're not even touching the phone? I turned off my knockon feature, but I would see my notification bar be highlighted without me touching it. Just wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.
No issues at all.

this glitch is kinda what happened with mine, and i confirmed what it was doing
in swiftkey, you know how tehre's the option to change the long press delay? well i was holding down that little bar to drag it down, and i noticed while holding it inplace, the numbers were going crazy..it was going up/donw/up/down incredibly fast, instead of just staying stationary..i was like, wtf? so i went to dev options, turned on show touch points and the trace so i could see the axis, and i noticed it was freaking out. holding my finger in place, it was as if it was moving around like crazy.
so i did a factory reset and flashed the clean verizon rom scott posted, and it hasn't done it since. no idea wtf was going on. i realized it was messing up bc my typing became really bad, and it would enter things i didn't type.
Touch Screen has a mind of its own - bad digitizer??
I woke up today to find my screen on, showing the lock screen which I found odd. Now most of the time the screen has a mind of its own where basically its like an invisible finger is randomly touching the screen at a frantic place. This opens up apps, moves icons around, calls people if the phone app manages to get opened, etc. After struggling to override the "invisible finger" I've done a reboot from the power menu, powered off from the power menu and left it off for 10 minutes before turning off and held down the power and volume down button to reboot. None of these methods fixed the problem0
Please note I did accept the Verizon update but was good on it for a day prior to this issue. I have installed minimal 3rd party apps and can't attribute the problem to starting right after installing something. I do use the Ghost 100 wireless charger but have been using this from day 1 without issues so I don't think that'a problem either. The Verizon store sold me this charger and although its not listed as being compatible on Verizon's website I have a feeling that's cause the phone is so new. The charger is WPC certified. Being that this problem is intermittent (happens way more often than not) I think it may be a software issue and I'm about to do a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'm convinced its a hardware issue and probably a bad digitizer. I've been very gentle with the phone - haven't dropped it, no moisture or water exposure, not rooted, etc. I'll report back if the factory reset works. Anyone else having the same or a similar issue?
Super buggy lockscreen!!!

You're not alone! My G2 has been driving me crazy the last couple of days when trying to use the lockscreen. It'll spaz out and either skip a connection of display a whole different pattern than I drew. It will also shut off the screen and reset the "wrong password" counter. I love this phone but this is super aggravating!
Hard reset didn't help at all. I went to a Verizon store and they exchanged for a new one and determined I had a hardware failure.
Hi All,
So I seem to be having a weird issue, and I don't know if it is my phone, or simply connection issues.
I got my Note 3 last night and it seemed to hang on "Downloading" for app updates. It seemed more prone to it if the phone went to sleep, and then it would take a while to kick in once it woke up.
There doesn't seem to be an issue when the phone is awake, but if the phone turns off.
Anyone else having issues?
Thanks
I have the issue sometimes. You just have to hit the x next to the DL bar and re install.

Hi
I have just had an issue with the screen turned off and not turning back on forcing me to reboot by holding down the power for 10 seconds. It was after a call and went off as it is meant to as i had the phone to my ear. When i had finished i went to end the call and no display. The phone was still functioning as the notification led was flashing when i double tapped.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar?
Cheers
I had that exact problem with this phone when i first got it... it kinda went away after a while it seemed.. i haven't had that issue sense..
Try factory reset

I think it's a core android problem, because I had it on my Note 2.
Thanks guys
I did a hard reset last night and havent been able to make it happen again after numerous calls today at work. I think perhaps it was a one off bug.
That was one of the first things i did..
