​Had my vega for just 3 days, i left it on charge on the first night and when i tried to use it the morning after the touch screen was more or less completely dead, only a 1" stripdown the left side in landscape mode was responding to touch so i couldn't even unlock it without using the wake then press the back button method - even then the screen was non responsive.
I did a reboot hoping this would solve it but no change, anyway after leaving it off for half an hour and rebooting the screen started to work again and I had no further issues that day.
that night i let it go to sleep again and had the same issue again this morning, the screen was non responsive after a prolonged( 6hour ) sleep
this time i decided to see if it was software so put it into nvboot mode and flashed the modaco rom, - after getting the new rom up and running the screen was still lazy, serious dead spots in terms of touch, i let it go to sleep for a few hours in the afternoon and tonight the touch is not working again.
I bought it online from dixons, and tbh the box appeared to have already been opened when i got it.
I'm starting to think its a faulty unit with a serious hardware fault - has anyone else experienced the same - did you find a fix?
Have you tried running the screen calibration tool, i think it is included in the modaco rom. I have not had anything as serious as you seem to have (only a slight dead spot in the bottom left corner of the screen, which the tool fixed) might be worth a go, if you have not tried it, before getting a exchange.
thanks Ganjaman, cant get the darn thing past the accept terms and conditions screen after a fresh install of stock rom because i cant press the accept button because its in a non responsive part of the touch screen.
dont think i have any option but to return it

Bad luck! Hope you can get a exchange in-store.
Have flashed the new 1.09 rom and it seems to have fixed the screen issue.
What was interesting. Was that if I warmed the tablet up slightly near a heater the screen would slowly start working again. Ganjaman, will your 1.08 update add market to 1.09
I am going to remake it for v1.09 shortly, i need to remove flash change the build.prop and i am going to add usb switcher. Glad you sorted it.
So I'm here in the US, but I'm using the Korean SHV-E300L. About a week ago, my phone fell off my bed and cracked slightly, but the touch screen responded perfectly. However, last night while I was texting, I noticed the screen scrolled a little slower than normal, and I couldn't quite text as fast. Today everything was normal until a few hours ago, where the screen would seem to hang and not respond, and sometimes the notification panel would start to drop, but never fully descend. I went into developer options and turned on "Show touches" and it shows a persistent input in the upper left corner of the screen. Other than replacing the screen, is there anything software related that I can do about this?

Do you have a stock firmware or custom? If you have a custom try re-flashing it if you never had issues with it. The best way to go is if you are on stock firmware soft-reset your phone by holding the power button until it forces power off then turn it back on. If that doesn't fix your issue then your hardware is messed up.
The S4 screen is very sensitive and I hate it sometimes because the smallest air bubble on my device makes the screen go crazy touching all kinda stuff. Good luck!

Well I literally just rooted it after posting this because I needed to get some files. But it's the stock ROM, firmware, etc.

try doing a soft reset then it should help or at least im hoping so.
It hasn't worked but for some reason when the phone is in landscape it does a bit better. I'll try to do a screencap video
Also, If I just unlock the phone and let it sit, no touches register
Hi,
After Xmas I made factory reset with TWRP and I made an upgrade to CM13.(6.0)
It was working fine.
When I was trying to make next daily update, after reboot, screen became black and nothing shown up.
I was trying a lot of things since that moment.
When I was going back from service point (I really want to sort it out) when they told me it is probably LCD broken (i have broken glass, but 1 year ago, so I do not believe it can be screen),
when I take phone out I spotted that keys are highlighted so I swiped and it locked out and shown screen! it was working perferctly fine,
so I decided that it is best moment to flash newest CM to solve issues, but after reboot screen was black again.
I can enter download mode so it is visible in Odin, but screen is black in every mode.
There is only quick flash on screen when turning on and also really short moment of Samsung Galaxy logo which becoming dark quite quickly.
I flashed stock rom(5.0), but nothing changed, despite of that I know phone is turning on somehow because I hear music on turning on...
Can someone help?
I really doubt that it can be hardware issue.
Can it be something with BL ? How can I solve it...?
My OP5 screen had a small crack so I decided to repair it. After following the tutorial on youtube step by step the phone powers up fine. But as soon as the screen goes to sleep, it get stuck in black, although it feels like responsive (Ican hear the clicks and vibrates and all) but it wont wake up

Could you wake up the screen? Maybe it's a connection problem or related to the proximity sensor?
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have exactly the same problem, but it happens only with Android 9.0. Oreo seems to be working OK, but as soon as I upgrade to official 9.0, the screen won't wake up from sleep. The backlight turns on, but the screen stays black. The phone works OK as long as I use it, but if I press the power button or let it to enter "standby mode", it will stay that way (off). I suppose it has something to do with the replacement screen, but since it works with 8.0, I wish there was a workaround to get the LCD to work with Pie too.
Same problem here. Replaced display too.
I've had a similar issue with a different device before (ZTE nubia Z7 mini). I replaced the screen and it would work correctly, but when I booted TWRP, I would get a black screen. I figured that because the replacement screen was not an OEM one, it may have something to do with LCD drivers in the recovery. I used the old cracked screen with the device opened up to navigate in the TWRP recovery, and I flashed an newer/different recovery. Voila, the new recovery worked with my replacement screen. Based on this experience, it may just be an LCD driver compatibility issue with the replacement screen, causing the screen to just go into forever sleep mode. The driver may need to be changed or tweaked in the Pie version for your replacement screen to work with it. Just a thought, not fully certain.

You're probably right about the driver issue. My OP5 has no problems whatsoever with Android 8.1, but 9.0 won't work no matter what I do after waking up the device. The backlight turns on and and off for a few times after which nothing happens. The phone is still working normally, but it's in "blind mode" (music will continue playing, volume buttons work...but they're kind of slow and laggy) Too bad that the latest update (9.01) didn't fix this issue either. I really wouldn't hold my breath getting this issue fixed anytime soon (officially) as it seems to be a cheap 3rd party screen problem.
edit: I tried the custom recovery (20181227) and the same thing happens there. Once screen goes off, it won't come back on.
Edit 2: gave up on the replacement screen and ordered an oem lcd. Lets see how it goes.

Do keep us updated if changing the display again fixes this issue. Would be interesting if someone had a fix for 3rd party displays but as of now it seems that's highly unlikely

Sure.
Got the new OEM amoled screen today. It's brighter, more responsive and doesn't get stuck (black screen) with Android Pie. Problem solved. Price was 3 x higher than the cheap 3rd party screens, but definitely worth it (around 80 euros). All screen gestures work as well.
Bought it on Witrigs (https://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-screen-assembly-for-oneplus-5-midnight-black). it came really well packed and arrived fast (7-10 days to Finland). I highly recommend this screen and Witrigs to everyone
Also changed the screen from a friend and have this strange behavior, that the screen won't turn on .. only when I reboot or double press the power button so it launches the camera - the delay tho is about 7s, which is insane! you guys think this is the screen problem, or did I damage something and if yes, what? I repaired about 100 phones in total already ..

Sounds a lot like my OP5 with cheap 3rd party screens which would hardly work at all with Android Pie. If your friend's phone is running on Pie, try downgrading it to Oreo and see if that helps. My phone worked moderately with Oreo but not at all with Pie (wake and touch issues). Currently my OP5 is running Android Pie perfectly with the screen that I bought on Witrigs.

Bizarre, have you tried the usual factory reset / rom reflash? If you confirm that its not a software related issue, then it probably is just the screen if its not an OEM part. Can't see what else would be the issue here unless there was other kind of damage before the repair maybe
Like @sbasil mentioned, it could just be due to the non-OEM screen being incompatible with Pie drivers.
Thank you for saving my phone

Mine not working with lineage base rom but is good with last pie 9.0.8. Did you try it?
Have this issue too
My OP5 has its original AMOLED screen. Running OS 9.0.8. This started happening after the most recent update. At least I never noticed it before.
I ran *#808# diagnostics, thinking maybe it's the proximity sensor, or the fingerprint scanner, but everything passed.
Also while locked, ambient display works. It's just getting the Home screen to appear after waking the phone that's become agonizing. And it does wake, the touch screen is responsive, it's just completely blind.
I mean consider this: I can take a screen shot, a screen shot, while the screen is in ambient display and the screen shot is of the home screen.
Pressing the power button or home button or notification slider repeatedly sometimes coaxes it to appear, but the only sure way to get the Home screen back is to restart the phone.
I had a black screen issue after changing the screen to an OEM AMOLED one, and after tearing my hair out for a couple of hours, I discovered that turning off " night mode" fixed the problem instantly
Same happened to me... cracked screen, purchased 'OEM screen' installed. Some apps work, some just black screen.
Driver issue? Running Pie 9x. Anyone had success with this by dropping back to Oreo? Would it do anything different to flash the Pie Firmware?
I repair/upgrade OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T phones to donate to families in need at the local family shelter. Some of them have lost or had to sell their phones just to get food and such. Now they need one to arrange job interviews and housing, things of that nature. So anyways, all that to say this.... I have replaced a LOT of displays, and all of them were the 'cheap' ebay variety. Each and every time I would replace the display, the phone would act just as described in this thread.
After long hours of reading, searching, and experimenting, I have found the ultimate and final solution to this problem. The answer to this issue is simple, but was not so simple to find. Whenever anyone does a screen replacement, and the screen is not the high-priced OEM variety, their phone will almost always have extreme difficulty in waking. The fix, and it has worked for me 100% of the time, is to flash a custom kernel. For the OP5/5T the kernel I use that always works is the Affinity kernel. Just flash and forget. The phone will always wake up after you flash that kernel.
However, don't forget, that what also happens with these lower priced replacement screens is that you can no longer double-tap to wake. I still haven't found a solution for that problem, but it always happens each time I replace a screen. The kernel won't help with that. But it does fix the 'won't wake up' problem.
Try it for yourself and see. You will be happy you did!

I'm not clear about what you are asking. What exactly are you calling FW?? Some people mean radio and camera firmware. Some people mean the custom rom that gets flashed. What do you mean?
