I have a weird issue with my note 3 sm-9005. Every time my phone's gsm signal fluctuates, if i am working on ti at that time, the screen will freeze. the touch screen works fine on the on the lock screen i mean i can unlock the phone using the touch screen, but after that if the signal keeps fluctuating, i cant use the touch screen. Can someone please advise. Have done numerous factory resets and have flashed twice too. I am rooted but on stock rom and recovery.
Is someone else having this weird issue or is it just me.

Hi.
I'm using the device for a month now and today a weird thing started to happen. There's a certain area in the screen that's just not responsive.
I haven't dropped the phone ever and I'm not rooted. It happened while I was customizing my homescreen with Nova Launcher.
I've tried a factory reset, I have also pushed the power button for 10 sec.. Nothing helped. The first occurrence of this was that my screen was completely unresponsive, I rebooted and then only the certain area was unresponsive.
Thanks in advance.
Best to request a RMA from Google.
The thing is that it worked perfectly until now. Also, sometimes it works for couple of minutes, then it becomes completely unresponsive, and when I lock->unlock then the certain area is unresponsive.
update
You have a faulty device, you are going to have to do a RMA.
Are you using touch control or similar sweep2wake apps with a custom kernel?
If that's the case you should delete it.
How come it hasn't happened until now? I am not using any custom kernel and I have done factory reset so there aren't any apps on the device.
UPDATE: *Sometimes* when I touch the "dead" area and it works, the whole screen becomes unresponsive immediately. What could have happened?
my nexus 4 is behaving abnormally... the lower part of the screen(1 cm) is unresponsive to touch(tested with pointer location) and sometimes out of the blue the touch input for the entire screen stops working and works after a couple of lock/unlock and the sometimes the phone starts pressing anywhere by itself.... I was running pa latest version... it was working fine ... so i restored the phone to the old pa since i need pie because bottom screen not working= no navbar.... it still didnt work and screen with similar problems. have anyone experienced something like this... is it something with the screen or other hardware parts ... help!
i had this issue with the bottom right side and a irresponsive touch screen at times, it was fine at beforehand, i backup and reflashed and it worked, using PA. it depends if the phone was fine for months before or something that has happened when you first used it. try restore to stock rom and kernel
If you've already done a factory reset, it's likely a hardware problem. You'll probably have to have someone repair it. If you're really desperate, I guess you could try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes, and seeing if that fixes any connection problems. That might just make it worse/cause other problems though. It works with hard drives on occasion.
My note 3 recently has a problem of auto screen on/wake up even not touching the home button/power button. Sometime its doesn't have this problem but this passed few days i happens frequently. Its auto screen ON during sleep mode. Its really annoying. I'm on android 4.3 and never rooted. I tried factory reset but the problem still exist. Anyone has this issues? my note 3 is 1 month old only.

Anyone has idea will it be software or hardware issues?
Screen on can happen due to software request (for example alarm, phone call etc.) or above mentioned buttons and therefore it could be hardware (some type of short creating signal similar to the button press), so it's hard to say. You could try safe boot, factory reset and killing some apps for software related problem and dial *#0*# to test hardware, but I'm not sure if there is a particular test for those 2 buttons. There are also programs that can tell you what wakes the phone up, but since it's brand new phone you probably want to take it to the service at some point, it is not normal from what you describe.
Hi,
Nexus 4 after my latest upgrade released by Android. I started facing strange problem. whenever I make anycalls my screen turns blank while call is still in progress. I couldn't disconnect from my end neither I get dialer option nor loudspeaker option. It is irritating me a lot. could you do any resolution for this. I tried factory reset as well but couldn't help it.
Hello,
I to have the very same problem. The N4 will even sometimes freeze to the point where I have reboot in order to get it working again. Frustrating though when your trying to end a call and the screen is totally blank, the waiting can vary from a few seconds to approx a minute. I'v also ran into this blank screen syndrome with using the camera, have you ran into this issue to?
Fingers crossed that someone can shed some light on this issue and possibly a fix or get around.
Thanks in advance.
hi guys, need help with following:
sometimes the screen flickers and stop responding overal....when he is in the mood. Sometimes works 2-3 hours with no problem and sometimes I cant use it at all - display is flickering and stop responding and if I lock the screen with power button and push the button again the screen is unfreezing for a while. I have tried everything- reinstal oficial ROM, root the phone and instal some custom ROMs, custom recovery, wipe and clean everything nothing helps. Мy suspicions are that there is some hardware problem and there is no software solution, but if someone has faced such troubles and find a way to resolve them pls share

it probably is a hardware issue, most likely the adreno GPU failing. Youve flashed the tar.md5 stock firmware and its still doing it? If so, its very likely a hardware issue

yep, I've flashed the original tar, also tried with 4 file with pit. Some time the phone starts flickers on the Samsung logo at the beginning, some time passes the logo and initial setup and then starts....maybe your are right, I just love my phone and didn't want to RIP him. The only thing I didn't try is to install something different than Marshmallow and to decrease working frequencies. Can you please tell me if the problem is form GPU is it worth to be fixed?
you could try a new battery , my S3 had screen flickering problems at aprox 30% battery and then freezes and reboot and battery after reboot suddenly 2% and after that screen flicker and no power anymore.
Try reboot with only charger connected and no battery connected
can't do that - the phone cannot be started without battery inside. Furthermore the battery is brand new original and I start using it after the problems started
You can look with phone info app from play store. Look which date the phone was made and when its more then 2 years then its hardware issue. On my display its only flickering on the very lowest brightness levels when i make it brighter the flickering is gone. When your phone is so too then its hardware issue but i will look with another battery from a friend and will report. I think its the display like plasma 1-2 years burn-in.

I had the same problem with screen flickering with my s5 (QCOM variant). It had started after screen replacement in a repair point. It would get the worst when screen brightess was at the minimum level. Sometimes the screen would not wake up, and low temperature/ low battery level made it even worse. The answer to the problem is a defective screen which needs replacing. No other way as far as I know.
the screen is flickering

I have the Samsung Galaxy S5. I also had the issue of when I had the screen brightness on auto it would flicker or if it was on a low setting it would do the same. If I raised the brightness it would stop. When the battery goes below 8% it starts flickering non-stop and the only way to stop it is to plug it in to an outlet. I took it to Verizon about 6 months ago (about the 2 1/2 year mark when it had been doing it since around 2 years) - of course their immediate answer was to do a factory reset and after that they had no solution (I did NOT do a factory reset). I'm eager to hear if a new battery corrects it or if it is indeed the screen/display. This may be a way to make sure we get a new phone every two years...
my case looks different. The flickering not depend form brightens or remaining charge in battery. Furthermore sometime it stops at all and I can use the phone without any problems for 1 or 2 hours. I did factory reset several time and reinstall software (official and custom). Perhaps there is some hardware issue and a phone upgrade is upcoming.
I tested with a battery from a friend yesterday and its the same. I will do this week a odin stock flash day and then i will see. But i think its the display.
