Battery, touchscreen or something else? Please help me to solve this problem.

After replacing the screen; did you reflash stock ROM? Usually its recommended.

something wrong with the screen

Got my s2 yesterday and its a great phone
but suddenly the whole screen turns yellow for a second then its back to normal
this happened two times in two days
dont know what to do did anyone had this??
Waiting for your opinions.
Given that it's brand new, I'd return it and ask for an exchange.

Hold on, do you mean that the screen gets discolored/dimmed just before the screen out time? If it is then it's normal, otherwise it's manufacturing defect.
Regards.

Did it do it before you started loading apps on the phone? It could be an app conflict. You might want to try a hard reset and see if it still happens before you begin loading apps. You're going to have to start over anyway if you exchange it.

Dust inside the screen

Hi all, I went with my MotoDefy into the water to take a couple of pictures and... lets say it was not a good idea.
After some time I found a screen digitizer on ebay and with some extra cares (and my brother's efficient help) the phone is working again (after some months in a drawer).
As I said, now it works, using the MIUI rom, because it was still failing with the stock one, nonetheless, there is a lot of dust inside the screen. I have openned it several times, to clean it again and close with care, but after several days of use, it's full of dust again.
Any ideas of how to solve this issue?
Thanks!

First, this supposed to be in "General" section.
Second, have you tried to make thing closed completely, or there still a leak ?
Third, buy a screen protector, I afraid.

:mmm:
out of the box it say's not to use a screen protector as they cover up sensors & decrease touch screen sensitivity...

ERRATIC nexus 4 tocuhscreen. Ghost touches

so my screen started with this crazy thing. theres a dead line on top of the screen. and touchscreen litteraly goes crazy. opens and closes apps, zooms in and out, swipes. this stops when i turn the screen of and back on, temporarely.
the phone has never been dropped or damaged in any way. just started randomly. i've tried 4.4.2, 4.2.2, custom roms, franco kernel,
flashing stock rom via fastboot fixes it,.
dead line desapears, everything goes back to normal. but when i leave it over night charging. the problem revives. i've seen this problem in youtube and google forum.. with the same deadline on the upper screen..
I Made a touchscreen text and everythiing is fine. but when the deadline appears fails
HELP!
My gf is having the exact same problem with her phone at the moment. I'm guessing that the digitizer needs to be replaced...but any other thoughts are certainly welcome.

I also disconnected battery.. no fix. right now theres no deadline. i think it could be the battery. like when you plug in with wrong charger and phone goes crazy.
right now theres no deadline. works perfectly no deadline. low battery tho:crying::crying:
Could be a grounding issue. When I use chargers that aren't probably made I'll have that problem. Try using another wall charger and another wall socket.
Well, mine it's definitely the screen. I enabled screen touches in developer options and there is a dead rectangular area across the top of the screen that doesn't register most touches...and occasionally sporadic ghost touches start erratically pressing this area not allowing me to touch elsewhere. I'll likely have to start looking at repair options.

happened to me with my previous phone lg optimus black and kind of happened with my nexus. in the previous phone i had a lot of ghost touch. they started happening one every phew days and after six month i had ghost touches every single day rendering the phone almost unusable. got it for guarantee and they changed the touch screen. the problem started again on the new digitizer with some sporadic ghost touches, on the same day! after that i bought nexus. after a while i saw ghost touches too but it's rare. for me the ghost touches happened when i was playing a game called tubing and with time happened every where. tubing is a game where a lot of quick touches is required. now that i stopped playing that game everything seems fine
a friend of mine had this problem some time ago with htc hd2. the service told him that this kind of touch technology has problems in warm weather(i live in cyprus and in the summer it gets up to 42 43 degree celcious) .

i only had this issue when i charged the phone with a cheap Chinese charger, it would go crazy till i rebooted, as above grounding issues,
but op said it was gone with stock rom, so its not a hardware issue, tried charging via other means

THIS seems to be a grounding issue. after charging it comes back. but after a while without charging comes back.. no fix yet! i hate how google doesnt give support about this. theres a ton of people with this issue
I have this same issue, was wondering if anyone found a fix yet?
I have lost all touch sensitivity in the down part basically I can't use the Nav bars and also above the nav bars sometimes its very hard to press on things check out my video I have it here in the last part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDDOSyLLnGs&feature=gp-n-y
nexus 4 ghost touches and dead screen.
Believe it out not, the crazy ghost touch and dead screen areas are NOT the screen. It is the battery. It sounds crazy, but it is true. The bad party is, nexus 4 batteries are old. Buying a new one won't necessarily solve the problem. I would buy the brand name this party battery.I have had bad new oem batteries die to their age.
Hello guys ley me join this party of ghost
As my device is also doing same weird thing like unnecessary touch without my feedback in most of third party app, setting app and in play store it goes crazy and start clicking on any option available without my touch
But the thing which is making me frustrate that this happens only on custom kernel as I tried all with stock google factory image 5.1 and this problem arise just a few days back and I was on custom ROM with custom kernel before 5.1 update everything was fine but after 5.1 update I mean custom 5.1 ROM with custom kernel this problem arises now if I m going back to 5.0.2 custom ROM with custom kernel my device become crazy and just start clicking any option in setting app I m totally stuck with Google factory image and stock kernel
Please guys if any one has pepper solution for this ghostly touch help me so that I can enjoy custom ROM and kernel :crying:
Mouse BlueTooth (without adapter)
I found the cheapest possible solution, as the replacement digitizer is not profitable.
I bought a mouse BlueTooth (without adapter) without problems and now I can move the cursor around the screen over the entire surface.
N4 is not for me everyday device.
In my case, I bought a mouse i-Tec Bluetouch 243.

Dead Screen Touch

My LG G2 (d802) started having dead screen touch in some small portion of the screen. I just installed Cloudy G3 Rom about a week ago and the problem started showing 4 days after installing the rom. Not sure if there is any connection.
Today i flashed Paranoid Android and i still see the dead touch screen problem is there.
Is it hardware issue? Or still is there any way to find out if its a software issue?
Any help appreciated

can't live without my phone lmao so I havn't done anything yet :/ probably just going to wait till the contract is over with verizon :/
Yesterday I noticed the same problem with mine (D801)...
I think I read somewhere it's pretty common hardware defect.
I'm out of warranty so I'll have to live with it.

Exactly what part needs to be replaced? The display or just the touch sensor?
My one started going crazy. Now it detects press automatically as soon as I turn on the screen. Had to turn off knock-on feature or it would keep turning off and then back on the display again and again.

I was ignoring all the posts about this issue when I browsed the forums, I thought I was safe since my G2 is more than 6 months old and also because some people mentioned it was related to some type of screen (there are two models) and I was on the "safe model", which apparently is not the case. So today I started to investigate the issue and some people end up replacing the whole screen (digitizer and LCD) which I think I'll do too.
Replacing just the touchscreen seems like the cheapest option since the part costs less than $20 bucks, but I honestly don't recommend taking that path since it's really hard to separate the LCD screen from the touchscreen.
So yeah, the whole screen assembly runs for like $70 plus bucks.
Better waste 50 bucks more then when you need to use the liquid and special devices to stick the digitizer to the lcd, it isn't for people who have never done it before. Its especially harder on newer smartphones then from 2010. Thats also the reason why the nexus 5 digitizer isnt sold seperately since replacing it would be much easier and you wouldnt risk your display when replacing the digitizer.
For that 70 bucks you maybe also have the tools included to open the phone and there are many videos which you should follow carefully to replace it well. I would rather pay 70 bucks then going to some repair shop or service center which replaces it for 130 bucks and above. @in_core If you have warranty use it since dead touch isnt your fault and as I read its common so LG have maybe screwed up it somewhere or the rom caused it :/ but i don't really think the g3 rom caused it since people even get that problem who are fully on stock without root.

Replaced H918 display, now flickers very noticeably

I have two H918s. A while back, I broke the screen on one, which is why I bought the second. Today, I did the repair on the first using a replacement display (which came complete with a frame). Powering it on after the repair, I notice significant screen flicker that makes the device unusable. Is this something others have encountered after doing a repair? Or did I just buy a faulty screen?
Edit: A few hours later, the flickering stopped completely. Don't know what it was, but it's all good now. Thanks.
Where did you got the screen to buy?
Links?

I noticed my H910 did that on the stock pie setup screen, I think it's because it's hot lol
