Galaxy S2
2 months old
no custom roms and not unlocked
no problems prior to this
On 3 network
assuming the issue is a screen related problem:
The screen at first was flickering bright lines on and off in random positions and also the lower segment of the screen would be black and not visible.
Then within about 30 minutes of this happening 90% of the screen has been black, with just the notification bar visible.
Bringing you up to date on the situation now. The screen is completely black but the device is definitely still on and fully working as I have received 2 text messages in the time of writing this and also I was able to press the camera app and auto focus and take a picture and view it on my laptop but the screen remained black the entire time while i did this.
Not sure what to do with the phone as I'm unable to reboot in recovery mode or restore to factory settings.
I will be going into the three shop now and seeing if they can replace the handset.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated

hello XDA community,
I have here an imate Jasjar which after a screen upgrade is displaying the image reversed. It did not begin like this,
Upon first booting up the device after screen upgrade, all was fine, screen displayed normally. About a week after this, the screen began flickering, not on/off, but instead, reversing the image shown on the screen. (a mirror) effect. I did not know what to make of this. I delt with it best I could.
A day or two after this flickering began, the screen began to remain in this reversed image mode, which I did not enjoy. The same day, I had dropped the JJ into a tub ( a pretty hard fall), but somehow, by the grace of god, the water failed to enter the inside of the Jasjar.
After the fall, I had noticed that the screen had stopped its flickring antics and remained normal for about a week and a half. It is now displaying a reversed image only.
I now am unsure of what to do, I searched throughout the XDA forums and discovered that performing a hard reset should repair this.
I suppose my main question is, is there a registry tweak I can perform to revert the displayed image back to its original state
Many thanks to all who respond.

Hi,
Today I got very strange behavior with my G2.
It started with knock on stopped working and continued with strange notification bar behavior.
When I am trying to pull the notification bar down it sometimes stops at the lower of the screen and get back up, it takes few tries but at the end I manage to put in down.
I thought it is software problem and tried to do factory reset and flashed different roms but those problems are still exist.
I don't have any screen protector so that's option out too.
Any idea what the problem can be? last time I had similar problem I made a screen replacement (it was 2 months ago) and today it happens again. I don't want to replace the screen again.
Thanks for any help you can give.

This happened two days ago with my wife's S7 Edge. She was using it to text me about dinner plans after work, her screen shut off, and it wouldn't work for several hours. The thing was getting very hot. When she was home and charging the phone the screen started working again for a little while, but with several green stripes down the right edge snd aa flashing horizontal band of grey near the top overlaying the screen image. Then when I tried plugging it into my computer to use Samsung's Smart Switch to roll back from the update she had accepted while at work the screen died again. It has not come on since, not even the stripes, and blue or red LED lights once in a wwhile at random. I managed to use Smart Switch to wipe the phone's memory. Then the program took several hours to download something very slowly and install that - a whole new OS update? That completed, and now the charging LED works correctly and the green stripes and grey band are back, flashing rapidly when powering on. Otherwise no screen function.
She is now trying to find a new phone, but definitely NOT a Samsung. This S7 Edge has already had the screen replaced once, just before the first year warranty ran out, as it did almost the same thing - in March the green striping (plus pink) appeared along one edge and the battery was running out very fast, the phone overheating so much that she found it uncomfortable to hold. We argued with Samsung a lot until they replaced the screen. Something is VERY wrong with this model. She's considering an LG. What a waste of money. One would expect a thousand dollar phone to last longer than this.
I am facing what I think to be the same issue with my son's phone. Green line down right side edge. Screen turns on for a second, then black screen. It's on, but can't do anything. Did you find a fix for this?
No. Today I gave up and took my wife's S7 Edge to the authorized repair centre. They say they'll run a diagnostic for $25, and if the screen needs to be replaced it will cost $385. Brilliant. If this thing gets fixed I will be running custom ROMs on the phone, probably an RR, as it seems Samsung's OTA updates kill phones.
Turned in out the authorized repair centre for our region, Acura in Surrey, BC, went ahead with the screen replacement without our authorization. I specifically said in a note given to them at the time that they were to ask first. But they didn't bother. My wife decided she liked the phone enough to pay over $400 to get it back. It's been working for a few weeks now. Hope it stays working. At this point I have a strong feeling that the S7 Edge was a poorly made device, at least some batches. The reports of these screen failures are just too common.
Check if your screen still alive or maybe connected correctly, here is a way to do it:
1- plug it in your computer then start smart switch
2- dail *#7353#
3- you can now test any thing in your phone
4- search for the TSP
5- try now to touch your device screen
If it display in the computer that mean the touch is working but the screen is not
If the toch is not working you have to check the cables if its connected correctly inside your phone
But if you have warranty don't waste your time and let them fix it, and don't forget to backup your files
Got my S7 Edge for just over a month now, and yesterday it started showing a black screen from time to time when navigating the phone. Note that I haven't dropped the phone, changed anything to it or made it wet. So after the black screen flickering, it only got worse, the black screen appears everytime for like half a second when i touch the screen, and when it gets noticably hot it simply stays black with rainbow lines flashing over the black screen.
Booting in safemode doesn't help. The flickering seems to be reduced just a little when I put it in the charger.. Not sure why.
I feel let down by Samsung (again), and I am bringing it to the service center tomorrow to have it fixed (and trade / sell it when I get it back) but I wanted to make 1 last cry for help on XDA, since maybe someone has a magical solution that will prevent me being without a smartphone for 2 weeks+.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Nothing we can do.
Factory reset phone is your last resort.

It's a brand new phone. Can you contact OnePlus for support or an RMA?

Something weird like that happened to me with the twilight app on my axon 7, but a reboot fixed it.. ??
There have been times with my past 5 phones where if I go below 15 percent battery the screen shuts off but the phone is still active.. Can get into recovery mode fine. Factory resets/clean install even with all same apps always fixed it. ?
Beyond that, I would definitely look into that RMA.
hello,
i have the same problem at oneplus 5t do you figure out solution :'(
