Hello,
So I got my Nexus 4 and it was all good for i think 40 whole hours, never left my desk and then i noticed a strange flickering of the screen, it was on all screen and everywhere, i put it to sleep still there upon awake. I restarted the phone and it was still there but less, and then i pushed soft on the edges and it went away..
Sucks, It took me many months to get this new phone stuff put behind me and now I don't know what I should do send this to google and get a refund ? What a gong show getting this thing, and then wait for months for a replacement ?

hey guys, i had my 1 1/2 weeks old HD2 in my pocket and on pulling it out of there it showed some kind of imprint in the mid of the screen.
seems as if there was pressure on the glass in the middle of the screen which now somehow fused with display
the display still works, but one can see a dark spot in the middle of the screen, pretty as long as a pinky finger.
does anyone know how to fix that? or should i simply ask for replacement?
thanks in advance, photos will follow as soon as i find something to take pictures.
I had the samething. Really strange, when I spoke to HTC they said that I should send it in to repair. However you should go back to the store and get a replacement esp since you've only had it for a week and a half.
However if your with Vodafone you may have quite a wait for a replacement.
Hut go back to the store to get a exchange, they should do that as you can get a replacement phone for the first 28 days.
Hope that helps
By the way just took a look at your picture and it is almost a carbon copy of what happened to mine.
I had this happen to my old orbit, with its resitive screen and no hard plastic over the screen, but it used to disappear after a few hours, is yours permenant?
I know this is the X1 thread, but the X2 one isn't running yet, so i kinda didn't have a choice. I've had my X2 for a bit more than a month now, working normally, but a few minutes ago I turned it on and there's these wierd vertical lines over the screen, as if there's columns where the pixels aren't turning on fully. The effect is worse at the top and bottom of the screen, kinda getting better in an oval in the middle. Dows anyone ahve any ideas on what has happened, and/or how I can fix it?
if a reset doesnt sort it out then its broken. since its only a month old then it should be well within its warranty.
Reset definitely didn't sort it out, I tried that many times. It eventually came good though about 16 hours later, sort of faded out. I was thinking it might have been a temperature thing, but the desk it was sitting on at work isn't in the sun or directly under the air conditioner or anything. Either way, if someone else has the same problem, know that all is not lost!
could of been temperature or moisture. lets hope it never comes back!! you sure noone sneaked in and accidently sat on it or anything?? lol
Hello,
I got the Galaxy S4 yesterday morning. Today around 9pm the screen was completely black. I could hear sounds and the buttons would light up but nothing worked. I pulled the battery and sim card as suggested via google search and still nothing. I got home and the screen came back on but it was really super bright with horizontal lines that were slightly shifted in one spot on top of each other. I plugged my usb from the charger into it a few times and eventually got a battery charging logo to come up. Had to do that a few more times before I got the screen back up. Now the screen appears normal but I'm scared that something happened to it. Either the screen is going to die soon or maybe it somehow over heated and that is why the screen was acting wierd. I just hope that since it seems normal now that I can get it replaced in store even though I can't duplicate the symptoms.
I'm curious as to what your take is on what's wrong with my phone? It had at least 75% charge before it started acting crazy. I don't want to keep it thinking it's fine and then after 15 days it goes out again and I'm stuck waiting for a repair to be shipped back to me.
Thanks
I just did a live chat with a Samsung Tech guy. He says it's because I installed an app or had a sd card inserted. He told me to uninstall Facebook and any ebook reading Apps and see if that fixes the problem. Do they think people fall for this? So incredible stupid if that's how they train their techs.
I was able to replicate the symptoms again. I bought the s view cover and when installing it had to press a little hard on the edges to snap into place. The screen went black again and did the same thing. Plugging to power then restarting fixed it. I found out that when I press the top right corner around where the time is, the screen flickers black and looks like I wants to cut out. Is there a sensor or digitizer located at that spot. If it's an issue when putting on a case, I see this is going to not bode well for the life of this phone. I went back to the dealer today and she gave me the number and location of a local samsung repair center. I'll have to give them a call tomorrow I suppose. Just be careful of any pressure being applied to the screen, even though mine has been acting up on it's own.
Just checked it now and it went totally black again and is not coming on. I've only had it a few days so not even enough time to load much stuff on it or customize it. I'm with Wind Mobile in Canada. It's getting boxed up and taken to the store asap tomorrow.
Hello, I dropped my Mi A1 in water a couple of days ago, I quickly took it and wiped it down with a cloth and the only problem I noticed were the speakers not working. Like a idiot, I kept using it and the speakers started working somehow but after 1/2 days the screen begun to make me problems, even after leaving the phone in Rice for 2 days in a row. My question is, is it any way to solve it? I will go to a GSM tomorrow but I want to know your opinions too. The screen looks normal for 3 seconds when I unlock it but after that it starts to show a lot of lines and stays like that until I lock it again, it also changes patterns from time to time.

Hi,
My dad has S5 G900F for about 3 years and never really had a problem with it. But now the screen sometimes glitches, bottom half of the screen goes black
when he's in the browser and once he moves the screen it disappears. The upper quarter sometimes duplicates itself, screen splits into 4 parts, other parts duplicate as well,
the phone freezes and then when he reboots it the screen turns into these old TV glitching errors. Once it boots up, it slowly goes down while the upper half is blacked out and his
wallpaper is showing. Photos in links.
Once it's fully rebooted and he gets through the lock screen which freezes for a moment it works just fine.
Do you have any idea what it could be? We're guessing that there could be a motherboard problem but we don't really know. It's an old phone and replacing motherboard would
literally cost more than the phone now so we're just curious.

Hiya, guess what, I had exactly the same problem with mine. Ended up replacing the screen... But before I did so, not only did I notice the screen glitching and having "snowstorms" and suddenly rebooting, parts of the screen ended up having black squares (loading animation for instance) which went away soon after but kept coming back. So now I've got a new display (got it about a week ago) everything's been fine until I noticed that black square appearing again (only briefly while the loading animation was displayed when shutting the phone down). So I think it must be a motherboard issue... Hasn't gotten as bad as it used to be though, not having any other problems... I know this isn't exactly helpful, just felt the need to post this.

It actually helped in knowing that he's not alone who had this issue. It sucks that the motherboard is slowly giving up after 3 years of use but I'll definitely tell him about replacing the screen. It's kinda cheap after years. Although he's looking for an upgrade now. But seriously thank you Hopefully it won't get worse for you.
Update 2 Dec:
The screen no longer works. It just shows TV like error although it works in the background .
