Just now. I was on xda app and suddenly the screen started having a titty attack (its happened numerous times before on froyo)
i wasnt worried cuz i figured my processor was just being overworked so i downclocked it to 400mhz.
Usually this happens in miren or dolphin. Then it clicked. It MUST BE ALL THE ENERGY BEING USED TO RENDER THE WHITE! cuz i always use my [phone at or near max brightness....
the thing was, i lowered the brightness and it stopped, but then it just shut off....i had to unplug it and plug it back in for the charger to even start charging it again.
So my question...is the screen dying (which means it has been for a while.) or is the processor dying (which means it has been for a while lol)
just wonderin are you using a stock battery or a cheapy from ebay? i had this happen too, and it turned out to be neither the screen or the core. it was only happening when i was using my aftermarket chinese battery.
im using stock battery
maybe its not getting enough juice anymore? i do plug my phone into things alot...lol

I had a screen crap out on me. I had similar symptoms leading up to it. The next thing that happened was the touchscreen became unresponsive unless keyboard was open. Then it stopped altogether. Thank goodness for my insurance because it did die. When I took it to a Repair store they had to open a new one to replace it because it is not a common issue.

How bad is it, I know we can all experience the screen f'ing up just by raising the brightness all the way and go to settings>display>and uncheck power save mode then go to any screen that is white. Its a problem with the super amoled.
But if you have the power save mode thing checked I think ur f'ed

This has happened go me before. But it was because I was trying to flash roms over a custom stock rom and I didn't know. I suggest you Odin back to stock. Leave it for a week or 2.

My screen flickers really hard on all white pages when the screen iks on full bright and power save off. Not all the time though, only when my battery is under 20 percent or so.

Similar experience but usually only when under 10-15% battery left and full brightness. The screen just can't draw enough current I guess.

I hardly ever get below 25% on a battery because I carry a backup but when I did, I had strange things happen.

Ohhhh, well that's interesting. Because if you OC or if your phone heats up enough data corrupts and your screen spazzes out. But I wonder if weather could play an affect towards that.

Its funny you mentioned that. It was 103 degrees in SoCal yesterday and I was getting random reboots and freezing ON FROYO and that never happens to me.

My screen goes glitchy when its on 100% brightness, and I go to a mostly white app(like google search), but its cause mines a refurb.

I have a problem: I cannot slide to unlock the phone when the battery is very low. I have to swipe the widgets page on the lock screen to open an app and then click the back button to get to the main pages. Why is this?
Your battery is low and power saving has kicked in. Recharge the battery.

Can I turn off this power saving feature so I can still use my phone when it's at like 5%? Seems silly I can't actually use the phone other than its widgets until the full duration of the battery is used.

Ok, I just thought that the things listed under there were the only things for Power-Saving and none of them were related to my problem. Thanks.
I'm running a rooted, cleaned up, stock mf3 ROM and its just terrible in terms of lag. Scrolling anywhere is jerky and awful looking, pulling down the notification shade is like 10 fps sometimes. Is this really the best it can do on touchwiz? My other devices are HTC One GPe, N4, Note 2, etc...
They're all faster! Help!

Honestly I haven't noticed lag, if I were you after attempting to cut down lag, use your warranty.

I am envious. There is no way its a hardware issue. Wake your device and pull the notification shade down quickly. What's it look like?

My notif bar is always quick when I pull it down, even when I wake the phone from sleep then pull it down ...I think you just have to tweak kernel and rom settings a bit. Or clear cache...dalvik and app data. Quicker then the htc one from att I had..
Thats just your device man. Mine is smooth as butter, and always has been. I would double check to make sure power saving is disabled, and if it is, then your best bet is to factory reset and see if that makes an improvement.
Try @zepplinrox V6-SuperCharger script!!

I had practically no lag out of the box. . . so maybe your phone has a hardware issue.
(since rooting and flashing Shostock2.1, and setting animations to 0 my phone is quick!)
The condition you describe is not normal for our model.
Good Luck
i Had same problems or close to same.
i had phone freezing and also flipping home screen used to freeze I went back stock and re root and flashed custom rom close to stock and i seen no lag
Maybe try some of custom roms ?

I've run about 3 different Roms and I use the gs4 and One daily. The one is quicker. I know from reviews and Google searches I'm not alone in experiencing the lag. Maybe some people are more perseptive to it?
The Google edition ROM was quicker. I already have the Google play edition one though, so I was trying to use touch wiz. I'll see if I can video the lag.

I usually have to tap like the exact same spot
And make sure you don't cover the proximity sensor

Strangely enough, I found how hard I knock matters to whether it works our not. I had the same issue with knocking 5 - 6 times until I lightened my touch.
YMMV

On your second tap, hold it on the screen for a millisecond longer.
I just hold my screen and shake my phone and it turns on

What are you using for that?
I too have noticed hard taps ate a bit more unresponsive. Mines perfect with quick ready doubletap.

This actually helped. For months the Knock On feature worked smoothly, as did the Off feature. Suddenly it stopped working so well. I had to tap very precisely and slowly, even then it was hit or miss. Better now. Off isn't an issue because I use Nova launcher gesture with Screen Off. Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor?
So if you jailbreak iPhone 5s/6/6plus you can unlock the phone by just putting your finger on the home button without unlocking the screen. Is it possible with some tool in Samsung Galaxy s5 by just swiping the pad without turning the screen on making the phone unlock?
Thanks for answers

I would totally like that if it is possible, and think it won/t use too much battery as if it is only the print sensor on, I hope somebody can help us with this.

Yes its a very awesome feature and I think its possible if some dev looks into it. I dont have S5 atm but I am considering buying the phone if this is possible
As of right now, there is no mod that allows this. but i'm sure sooner or later some dev will get it to work, as the posters above me have already said.

It will take a hit on the battery since this feature will be emulated through software since the hardware restricts it. For that to happen we have to modify the kernel to make the cpu stay awake at all times at low power. It's just like the Double tap to wake feature that is also sort of "emulated".
