Hello,
Unfortunately I have dropped my Galaxy S4 and have slightly cracked the screen. It is not shattered but the screen won't turn on. Anyways I was deciding to get a replacement digitizer for the phone. The phone boots up and seems to be working however sometimes it makes this siren like noise for about 4 seconds and it also vibrates. This usually happens after I boot it. Is it worth it to replace the screen and also why does it make the weird noise?

So my sister who also has an Aria dropper her phone and now there is a huge crack on the screen. She doesn't have insurance so she is trying to find an alternative way to fix it.
Simply replacing the screen would work, but another problem started happening when she cracked the screen. During a phone call, the screen will turn off, as it should, but when the call has ended, the screen stays off and the only way to turn it back on is to either pull out the battery and reboot the phone or to plug it into a charger.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Will replacing the screen fix the blackout issue? Or is this phone just trashed forever?
sounds like it destroyed the phone and the proximity sensor. i'm not sure if replacing the screen will fix this.
I actually had the exact same problem after dropping my phone during a call. I noticed that I didn't have to pull the battery to end the call if I held it up super-close to a really bright light (desk lamp, etc).
There were many times when I was on the street (in nyc), and had to find a bright light to hold it up to.
I dropped my Aria right on the corner with the ambient light sensor (in the upper right corner), which shattered the glass right in front of it.
Amazingly enough, after a few weeks, it started to get better and better - and now, nearly 4 months later (yea, i just deal with **** lol), it will hang up cals properly.
I'm actually working on replacing the screen right now, btw
wanted to know if im the only who is having this issue with phone calls. even without a case when i move the phone away from my ear it doesnt respond, i still get the black screen. i press the power button but the screen just flickers and doesnt do anything at times. is it the rom? my phone? i also faced it into the light and sometimes it comes on sometimes it doesnt.
figured it out.... went through 4 screen protectors and got the cut out right for the last one. seems the proximity sensor is blocked by the screen protector. almost listed my phone on ebay. haha
Hello,
My wife dropped her Galaxy S5 this morning from waist height, face down on a wooden floor.
There is no apparent damage at all (no scratches on the screen or on the sides), but the screen was staying off after that.
The rest of the phone is still working fine.
I advised her to try applying a little bit of pressure on different parts of the screen as I thought it might have been "disconnected" or "unplugged" during the fall (not making contact anymore).
When she did, the screen turned on, but when she stops pressing on the screen, it turns off again (though sometimes, it stays on for a few minutes and she can use it normally).
Should we send it in for repair or is it easily fixable (applying a bit more pressure?).
Thanks in advance!
So my son got the tablet wet. I let it dry out for a few days then turned it on. Everything seemed fine. It went to home screen but the touchscreen was unresponsive. After about ten second's the screen went negative kinda then blank. It still vibrates and makes noise from notifications and volume buttons. But the screen will not work. Is there a screen replacement I can buy and would that work to fix my problem? If so is there also a video on how to do so? Thank you
Hi, anyone have issues with galaxy s8 when making/receiving calls ? My S8 was pre-ordered and on the first day of usage im faced with this issue, when making call or receiving phone randomly lights on display (once) and genlty randomly vibrates (as you press home button or nav button), then im take away phone from ear and put it back to ear display turns off, sometimes it keep turned off as normaly but sometimes it lights on again and vibrates, so i have to do previous steps or if ignore that issue than display turns off after some time and when im take away phone from ear to end call phone is locked and display won't light up until press lock button. Also im noticed that when im lock phone or even take it in hand (fingers touches both curved sides of display) phone also gently vibrates and turns from AOD to lock screen, this issue is also randomly. Some times AOD screen suddenly goes bright and than fades like it should be. After two weeks of chatting with samsung and store support im was send it to "service", they tested phone and after 10 days im received phone with status "no problems detected, software reflashed" but issues still not gone. And im can't replace it with new one because store refuses to replace it and says that they don't replace devices with software issues. Now im stuck and don't know what to do.
P.S. in *#0*# menu proximity sensor ADC values randomly keep changing even if nothing is in front of sensor, values are between 79-125 and when completely put finger on sensor values is 16368
Same issue here. Not sure why.
same for me too, international dual sim version s8
I have little bit different issue related to light sensor. My phone doesn't turn off the screen and locks in a pocket or if I close light screen by hands.

I have the same issue (also the oversensitive home button issue too).
I have a similar issue. But my screen never lights up. Neither during a call or when on the desk, for example. But during calls it sometimes vibrates as if I hard pressed the home button even though the screen is still off and I haven't pressed anything with my face, nor have I received any notifications. It doesn't seem to happen once every minute either (some phones notify you of every passing mine during a call).
It's not a big deal for me, just kind of curiously annoying.

Check in settings on ambient display, pocket mode, etc. Or maybe a cache wipe and reboot will solve.
Like Settings-Display-Screen Mode
-Keep screen turned on/off
Thanks to Samsung and Consumer Rights Protection Centre, together we forced store to replace phone. It was a factory deffect, so anyone who has similar problem im advice to replace phone.
