Screen Goes Crazy

I've had my Note for under a month now. I've been ever so careful with it. My heart skipped a beat when one day, all of a sudden, the screen just went mad!
I scoured the Web but couldn't find any other instance of this but the other day, in another thread, a few people have said that they've experienced the same problems. It's happened to my friends phone as well. I thought both of us were sold defective pieces to be honest but it looks like a global issue.
This is not just a case of screen flicker and screen changing colours on a white background. It goes haywire! Almost like the old television sets with their rainbow effect.
This has happened pre and post ICS; so it's definitely not a software issue. It has to be a hardware defect.
When I tried taking a screen shot of it, it just took a screen shot of the app I was using before the madness began.
It happened again last night. This time, fortunately or unfortunately, the screen stayed that way till I hit the power button. I had enough time to take a photo of it using a friends phone. Check it out :

It happens to me in some custom roms...

Its about some live wallpapers. Same thing happened with me with blue sea lwp after upgraded to ics.

I have this sometimes too, but I don't use live wallpapers so doubt if this has anything to do with it.

+1 I don't use live wallpapers either. Phone's not rooted either. It's probably an issue with the graphics chip. And it seems to be a global issue and not limited to any region as such.

It's happened on my phone before and after upgrading to ICS. So I doubt that's the issue.

It's also happened to me once,
not more than 24 hours after I bought it.

Happened with me also
Thanks you reported.. I was not able to report since the screen got fine in few seconds. Didn't experienced it since..look likes hardware issue to me as well.. I hope samsung pay some attention here..

I sure hope you're right because the same thing happened to my laptop once. The screen started flickering this way occasionally and it the frequency increased. In the end, I was told that the chip and the screen needed to be changed. Luckily it was still under warranty at that point.
Just hoping the same thing doesn't happen to this AFTER the warranty lapses!

never experienced this.. i used ICS for 2 days, no sign of this issue back then.. and now im back to GB...
is this what they call pixel salad?

flicker or pixel salad, whataever you name, mostly happens when you end the call or call disconnection...the same happened to me and gone through the logcat and reproduced the same once again..

So is this then a hardware issue? Something to do with the graphics chip? Can't be a software bug right?

Dude. I was searching for this.. this happens for me.. OFTEN !! more than 15 times already i think. I think it started like this since having ICS. I had my first week on GB and have no such issue.. probably screen reset or what ?

Here too!
With my note it happened a few times.
I am currently running Rocket V7:crying:

funny i have never experienced this before... i've had my note for almost 3 months now
have upgraded to official ICS then root then went back to GB root..
just wondering for those of you who experienced this sort of pixelation, where did you get your note from?? mine was from the the telco when i renewed my contract and seems to me that it is more likely a defective unit..

Honestly, I thought my friend and I were sold defective pieces here but as I mentioned earlier, from the kind of response this thread is getting, it's definitely a global issue.
My unit was manufactured in Vietnam. Bought it at a store here in India. It's probably a case of a batch of defective units. Samsung needs to take stock of this. With their over zealous selling spree, it wouldn't surprise me if someone at the quality testing team was made to look the other way. Conspiracy theory maybe but who knows eh?

Some issue found on SG Note 2 so far...

Hi,
Being using N2 for about 3 weeks. Below are some issue that i encountered..
1) During sleep to awake or lock screen to unlock screen, there is a white thin line of light flashes at bottom screen just above the home button.
Very fast, maybe just a sec.This happens sometimes and intermittent.And had tried many units of N2 and having same issue.
2) Sometimes when after wifi used or signal loss. When you return to normal signal using data network, the data network will not be
on automatically until you switch to airplane mode and switch back to normal mode, then the data network signal reappear.
So far it happen on both me and my wife N2.
3) Some area on the Samsung Qwerty keyboard is not so sensitive or not so accurate.
Among all the above, i hope all is nothing related to the hardware. Hope all of the above Samsung will help to address and resolve by software updates.
Anyone seeing the above symptom please reply to this thread
Thanks

1) nope it's never happened to me. Maybe you've got a faulty set. U tested many units and most of them got that? Hmm.
2) mobile data comes right back after I disable wifi. Was it like this when u first used the device?
3) are u using any sp? Matte type which is thicker in nature could be the cause as samsung recommends not to use sp

Hi,
For 1 and 2, most units happens. And also Samsung service inform me its software and will be resolved in next update.
Like I said, its intermittant.someone may have not notice it.
Thanks

I have found that while in camera mode I have some sort of horizontal lines on the screen. It was the same on the first galaxy note
Second, the pen is scratched. I have barely used it.

Mine dosent suffer from any of these problems if Im honest or Ive never noticed them.

Mine neither. Perhaps you received a faulty unit, OP?

Hi,
That's good with no problems. As I mentioned it happens to mine and my frens phone. Maybe the stock rom and kernel is different from my place and your place.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Non of the above mentioned or non mentioned problems occured...

I'm on stock kernel and rom. Only No.2 happens to me.

Never experienced any of that.

At any given time Samsung can have a dozen "latest" ROMs and radio out for a single device based on region. OPs s/w could be different than what's on other people's phones. So it is possible the stock ROM/radio s/he's using could have issues where other people's wouldn't. It's happened on the Note 10.1 a couple of times already.

I agree with that.

Hi,
To make people clear on issue#1 stated above. Please refer to the video link. Please focus on the bottom screen near home button for the light flashes during sleep to awake or lock screen to unlock screen.http://youtu.be/zB5FkxRZ4EI

[Q] Before getting a LG G2, I ask...

Hello People...
In a week I'm going to be able to get a LG G2 in my Mobile Company.
But, I want to ask all the Owners of this Great Phone, if there is the Same Problem with the Screen of the G2 with other LG Products.
Right now I own a Optimus 4X HD and 2 months after I got it, there was this kind of dust under the Screen. Actually it's not Dust but it seems like. Also, I've been reading the Nexus Forums and there is similar problems with the Screens.
I checked the G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and I nobody has complain about this Problem in the G2 so, I want to know if the G2 could have this problem.
I really like my 4X HD but I don't want to have the seme thing in my G2. This problem is the only thing that can change my mind in any second to get a S4 or a Moto X but I really like everything about the G2.
So, how you Screen in the G2??? Any dust under the Screen???

Not so far (had for about 1 month).

no issues so far.. been flashing roms after roms since 2months ago.. no complaint whatsoever for this great phone :good:

There is something under my screen. Doesn't look like dust.

This is similar to what I have in my 4X HD... So, maybe it is a General problem from LG.
Anyway I getting the LG G2 as soon it is available in my Cellphone Company.

Good to know that. Thank You.

I have been using my G2 since before it was officially available in T-Mobile stores (they didn't even have price tags for it)... September 21st actually is when I picked it up and there is absolutely nothing beneath my screen. Keep in mind that you can see the grid for the touch panel on this phone though. It is not usually visible when the screen is on, but definitely is in the light when it is off. I think it's kinda cool personally, but it is something I hadn't seen on other phones that I have owned.
This next part is not at all what you asked, but is something that I feel I should express to a potential buyer.
By the way, in all of this time I have yet to experience the phone getting hotter than 100F even with extensive gaming, and really have had no problems at all. The only thing I have found is that, if you download an app that has some issues, particularly if it accesses the internal storage, you will definitely feel it. I had the phone heat up on a couple of apps, but it about 3/4 of the way down the phone. I promptly uninstalled said apps and the temp immediately started to decline to normal operating temperature, or about 80F. I have had other apps that also access the storage, but do not bug out and the phone stays cool as would be expected.

I have used 4X, G Pro and now G2, never encounter dust problem. Understand from local forum that some owners of 4X and G Pro have dust problems and LG SC would clean the devices free of charge

[DEV]{TEMP FIX}| XPERIA Z1 Touch screen issue | UPDATE 12/09/14

Calling all Xperia Devs!
I'm sure that everybody knows what im talking about. and even if you don't you will probably find out soon. As i only started getting the issue after a couple months.
Where do we start? i have some experience but thats only with kernels and since alot of people are facing this issue... let's try as hard as we can to need only root access.
if anybody can tell me where to start looking... and help out.. that would be great..
Let's fix this guys!
I was messing around and i think i've found a fix for the touch screen issue.
What you'll need
Root
Root Explorer or something similar
Xperia Z1
Balls
Here's what you need to do.... (Version 2)
Download this file http://bit.ly/1tR0Foc
Flash in recovery
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Reboot
Now this should make the screen a little more comfortable in terms of swiping and typing. if you still get the issue please let me know.

Im no developer but I'm 100% sure this happen much more frequently when the device heats up. I play ppsspp and i can tell touch error will occur more when it heats up to a temperature. So this is most probably hardware problem. The higher the temperature the higher the electric resistance, right?
Taking off the plastic protector (if you got one) will reduce the problem a bit (because it's an insulator of electricity?)
So maybe what we have to do.... Maybe just automatically turn the screen sensitivity higher when the device heats up?

You know, I found a fix. Just turn screen off for a second with button and turn on. Just try it.

Yes, thats working but cant we do anything else?

Got the Nillkin 9H glass protector also. Works well, feels smooth. It did slightly reduce the sensitivity, but it's minor. Make sure Pen Mode is disabled, because that gave me huge sensitivity problems.

Off-topic;
You should release a kernel instead, and finish what you started on the Xperia Arc / Arc S - your kernel work on ICS sources was top notch.

Eh... This topic was already ANSWERED. Yes answered. You can't fix this by software - learn this finally... If you wanna have good touchscreen, go for warranty like I did few months ago, so far no problems...

Or better yet upgrade to the z3 with newer display technology

i had the stock 4.2.2 for a few days because (then i flashed the latest fw because i had bootloader unlocked and the camera was not working on 4.2.2)i got a bootloop while trying to install a rom and i flashed that.so when i had it i never had the touchscreen issue.never.and the screen was working in a different way. i mean the reacting was otherwise,and the feeling of the screen.maybe it can be solved with software and i dont think its because of heating up. i played games long hours with a heated up device and i dont faced the issue( even 45 celsius+) but sometimes i just turn the screen on and i have the issue.i think its very random and i dont really know the reason of it.turning off the screen than on is 100% helping but sometimes it's annoying.
hope you developers can do something with this.

HTC bolt half screen black

Wanting to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of half of the screen going black and then back to normal wanting to know if it's due to the last update ( didn't start happening until I took the new ota few days ago) anyway to go backwards without complete format not rooted yet or else wouldn't care but unsure of worth rooting or nor due to not enough information nor roms or kernels yet so anyway anyone let me know of there experienced the same issue after the last update thanks

screenshot
It's not the split screen feature it's str8 black on right side and it seems to only happen after the update google on it and you will c

The same issue
I have just the same problem . To be honest, I was "5 minutes away" to go the store as my HTC 10 Evo/Bolt is 5 days old only. But if that not "my unique case" then the update may be the reason.
Did you post any info directly to the HTC?
Please stay in touch as I'll do.

Black Screen
I started experiencing the same issue in December, in addition eventually the issue progresses to screen artifacting and flickering. I am on my second phone and about to send that one in for a replacement due to re-occurrence of the issue.
HTC has about a four week turn around time, so beware. If you have really bad issues ask to speak to the escalations supervisor.

Many people are experiencing this issue. Some have gone through 3-4 replacements already with each new one having the same issue. My BOLT only experiences this when I pull it out of my pocket and unlock. Can be fixed temporarily by giving the right hand side of screen a firm tap. Anybody have any ideas on a fix?

I'm on my 3rd phone due to that issue. You just have to exchange it. No way to fix it.

Mine just started jumping around only on the right side has not blacked out yet

my Bolt is not currently active, so I haven't been using much, but I do recall the screen jumping around once when I pulled it out to check something...just checked it again and it's fine...weird

I wonder if anyone has a perfectly working (for months) and not overheating bolt. I've gone through 3. Should be recalled.

Im curious if you have taken all the OTA updates? My Bolt was fine for about 3 months before i had severy lag issues but not the screen problem. I took it back yesterday and got a new one. My new one is on an old software version 1.15.651.11 and there have been 3 updates since this version. I have not updated yet.

I too like the phone except for the kinks. I have taken OTA for .15 anc .22 without any issues. Then after about another day it is telling me to update to the new 1.32.651.6. everything is good but i guess i will take the update and hope for the best.

Recently I've been having trouble with the screen staying black with key pad lit on wake on gesture or power button. That may have been caused by my case... But more concerning is the screen flickering. It seems to come about more as the day goes on. When it starts to happen I tried rebooting, and it does it during boot too. I wonder about the longevity of this phone
