My screen on my brother's S4 (SGH-1337) has stopped working. He swears it began doing it randomly and has not been damaged in any way. It either remains black or occasionally a random set of pixels are displayed. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for it? If not we will mail it off as it is still under warranty.... THANKS!
The only fix is to replace the screen assembly. If it is not rooted, you might as well send it off for warranty

I bought a Nexus4 a couple of weeks ago. I constantly got this issue, it will be stuck and not return to the normal screen even I keep pressing the power button. However, if the other side of the call hangs up quickly, it normally works fine. but if it is directed to a voice mail box, it will be stuck forever until I shutdown the phone.
Just wondering has anyone experienced the same issue ?
Have you put a screen protector on it?

It sounds like the proximity sensor on your phone is being blocked you might want to try not using your case and see if its make any difference

Turns out the screen protector is the evil.
Thanks a lot!
I recently had my nexus 4 screen repaired on the replacement part there is a 90 day warranty that is still going on. However I have started to see small white dots that appear when the screen shows lighter colors. I did not see this before it was repaired. I brought it back and they said that it wasn't a problem with the LCD and didn't replace the piece. But it seems to have gotten worse and there are these dots in other places. Does anybody have any idea how this could be fixed or what the problem is? Thank you.

Hello. My wife dropped her S4 on concrete alittle over a month ago and has a crack on the top part of the phone. Everything was fine until today when she went to turn on her phone and the screen is black. Everything works as far as notifications, sounds, etc. even the touch works on the screen. I managed to go to a real dark room and barely see the screen enough to turn the brightness all the way up but the screen has a real pale white and some lines through it. Just wierd it started to act up today after she dropped it over a month ago. Does this mean the digitizer is faulty or is it something else? I attached a picture for you to see it.
It means the LCD is bad. The Digitizer is what detects touch. Best bet is to replace the whole screen and digitizer assembly. It's not cheap, but it is easy to do.

This is the one that I got. It comes complete and looks like a factory original. All the markings match the ones from the broken one I took off mine. It's not cheap, but it is easy.
Mobiletechvideos also has a service for screen replacement.

Had a cracked screen but while touch didn't function the screen was still on/visible. Left the phone and went to my back up until the replacement came in.
My replacement screen arrived and when I took it to be replaced the tech powered the phone on and while the led lit up the screen never powered on/. Got a call after the screen was replaced and the screen still doesn't light up.
Could the battery be drained enough over the course off a week to cause this issue?
Any other ideas what it could be?
TIA

Check all connectors and if it still happens you might have a bad lcd
Must have had something to do with the battery... got a call this morning and it was working as it should.

just got a replacement g2 and screen is fine unless i use mobile data, then it flickers like its being interfered with, i also get this flickering when im sending or about to receive a text.
this only seems to happen on gsm, though i have to have it on as this gives me the best signal in my area.
has anyone else encountered this problem?
is there a workaround?
thanks in advance :good:
Ask for replacement,
