Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.
ROFLMAO
That is by far the funniest thread title I've seen on here yet
It does sound like a hardware issue though.
Hehe....nice title

Yeah I agree with the person who suggested it was a hardware issue. Always worth getting someone to check it out for you

is it happening only while phone is being charged or all the time?

No water damage or anything. I do use a screen protector but it looks flawless in the affected corner

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

this is so true
I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Try samfirmware.com, down at the botton of the GT I9000 firmwares are the provider's ones.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

Hi folks
In the last 3 days, my trusty old phone has begun to act as if it is either possessed or with its own mind.
If I try to compose a reply to a text, random characters appear in the input field and then Attach dialog appears at random. If I try to back out, the text message just gets sent.
In the home screen, the browser is randomly launched with me touching the screen, or the browser icon mysteriously migrates from the dock onto the general screen
I activated 'Show touches' in 'Developer options', and it shows random touches of the upper and mid right-hand sides of the screen (without me actually touching the screen).
It started under Aurora 3.1 Update 5. I tried a complete wipe, but with no resolution. I installed Aurora 4.1, but the problem remains.
As I type this on an iPad, the phone beside me is running mad with the browser opening and selecting random tabs.
I've removed the protective cover to avoid the possibility of pressure from the sides doing a nasty.
Any ideas and advice greatly appreciated.
Naj
I suggest either:
A) Call priest to make an exorcism : p
B) GO into CWM, wipe cache and wipe davilk (just these 2) and flash the aurora release you are using again, on top of what you have.
You won't lose any settings and might help correct some files or systems setting that might eventually got corrupted.
And how this will help?
He said that has already done a full wipe, and flashed Aurora ICS 4.1 clean.
Seems that is a hardware damage.
same happened to me. your touchscreen is broken. i just gave it back and good thing i still have warranty. they replaced my screen for free. and also i had atmel, now i have synaptics. also DO NOT FORGET to flash stock 2.2
btw you know what was really pissing me off? i had random touches around section where the "send message" button was. so when i was typing, it sent every 5 words -.-
Have you tried a different Rom to see if you also have the issue, such as flash a stock version?

Looks like hardware problem. I think no ROM will fix this...

Thanks all for your comments.
I guess it is the digitizer. My phone is out of warranty, so it's a case of repair myself or replace. I don't feel like spending money on a new phone, so it's the former for me.
eBay has digitisers for around AUD$25.00. I am familiar with disassembling and reassembling the phone (dropped it into the toilet about 6 months ago!), so this should be a relatively cheap repair.
Thanks again
Naj
My first impression is water damage.

Perhaps ... however it is about six months since the accident occurred and it worked flawlessly until this point.

It's just the phone's way trying to tell you to buy a new one. I wish my phone did the same so I could get rid of it with good conscience! (And smash it with sledgehammer or similar heavy object. And after that shoot it with shotgun.)

I'd really like to buy a shiny new one. However, a decent phone will involve either a substantial out-right purchase price or a 2 year commitment with a phone carrier.
Anyway, every phone has its annoyances that make you want to turn it into fine powder! I hear of people disappointed even with the Samsung Galaxy SIII! However the X5 has been okay for me. It recovered well from a previous dunking in the toilet - courtesy of my beloved - and generally works great with Aurora.
I have already ordered another digitizer for AUD$21.05 including tools. If the repair is successful then I have a fully working phone after a very small outlay.
Naj
you may need a firmware update of your touchscreen

Well, shucky darn and slop the chickens - she's healed, healed I say!
The phone has been working perfectly for the last 2 days - no reflash, no reboot, no nothing.
And here I am with a new digitizer on the way.
I did not even resort to cantations and sacrifices.

Tip 1: Don't forget to take your credit card :good:
Don't forget the micro SD card & if you don't need a case right away, you can find better options with better prices online & enjoy your S4

Hi Folks,
I have got a strange issue. First let me tell my story. My phone was fallen down 2 weeks before and the screen was broken but the functionality wise(including mobile data), phone was good. After 4 days, i replaced the screen from customer care, after that my sim card was not getting any signals. then i gave back to customer care and they fixed the problem with in 5 minutes. (On the same day night, my phone was fallen again to water, fortunately nothing happened, only the speaker was acting weird, it went OK after sometime)
Here the problem part starts, after the screen replacement, for the first time i turned on the mobile data on my phone. then magnetic sensor weird issue started. When the mobile data is on, the phone feels some magnetic noise and the S view cover display will flash through screen. This will happen like once in few minutes or in a such gap. it will just flash for 1 sec and go. When the mobile data is OFF/ in the flight mode, the issue never occurs. Any idea on this
I ran few tests, the results are in the attachment, i changed SIM and the behavior is same.
When i contacted the customer care, they said they have seen this issue and they can make it good by installing fresh s/w again. But my phone is out of warranty(so i need me pay for this) and i already tried cleaning my phone, wiping everything, installing fresh ROM's..
But nothing does the job
The issue is resolved by installing the latest Black edition firmware (from Samsung service center)
iSsue is coming again, s view is flashing when i am on a call or mobile data is on.

Warranty Issue ? But i will keep that screw safe with me so that whenever some problem arises i can put it back
I had the same issue on my I9500. It happens due to faulty magnet sensor.
I had to follow up with Samsung Service Center to replace the entire screen again because the sensor is a part of it. Take a video of the issue with some other phone, it helps to explain the Samsung Service.
Same issue I had with my phone. New mainboard and new screen didn't fix it. The magnetic sensor is part of the screen assembly.
Only thing that fixed it for me was to either run a CM11 based ROM or just set my mobile data to WCDMA only.
Problem hasn't returned once since I made that change.
PS: The L1 screw method didn't work for me

Well the screw issue does not work for all. Its is just a way ok keeping it away from bwing magnetized. Nothing more. Because the senor is locayed somewhat there, then the screw works as a potential magnet.
And about the edge and w+ thing, can someone tell me how that works technically ?

As you unscrew it do it with extra caution and precautions and with a proper screw driver because in India, to be soo true, the SSC guys have a habit of checking the screws and if they find any thing weird they straight away say "ye kahin se khulwaya tha kya" (did you get it opened from some local shop) amd start showing it to the other engineers and everyone of them will say "haan haan haan, lagta hai" (yes, we think)
So it gets a bit embarassing.
And if you can..get a plastic screw from some shop (if you find any) and place it instead to fill the void.

The only thing left for me right now is to remove the screw! Everything else has failed
BTW i did tell those stupids at the service centre that a simple screw change will do as it's getting magnetized from magnetic sensor but still they couldn't help me with the issue.
What if my issue never gets resolved ? Ain't i entitled for a exchange of phone ?

Bro if you had "searched", there was no need of this thread. Its the 10th or the 20th of the same kind.

Its not that an issue. Your phone is just 2 months old you cant even root it. If you couldve, then any CM rom or an xposed module wouldve done wonders.

Well touchwiz based roms might have this problem.
There is a huge difference between CM roms and TW roms.
And also S view cover works only with TW based roms..so..blinking is a hard to digest fact on CM based roms.

Uhhh...he did not mention which roms..
CM does not have any provision for the sview cover so how can itthe screen flash :/
CM based roms and Custom Touchwiz roms are different!
Touchwiz is just like the samsung we are using having mostly samsung stuff and look and feel is just like of samsung.
CM based roms are pure android. They are very stable and have no such thing as samsung apps or samsung's stuff.
A CM based rom looks as if we are using nova launcher (if you just use the launcher from play store, youll get a feel of CM roms) but CM roms infact are lighter, faster and smoother as they are pure android.

i ve got a D855 32gb and sunndenly the screen doesnt turn on.
It didnt drop it or do anything with the screen.
The phone is rooted and has been flashed with custom rom.
Is there any way to flash stock firmware in order to unroot?
Or the warranty will be valid, due to hardware fault only?
I have some non backuped photos that i dont want to lose.

If you can reach download mode then you can flash stock kdz firmware....
But if you can't turn on the phone, probably you need another motherboard...
I had the same problem about 3 weeks ago...
I've send it for reparation and got it 2 weeks later with stock v30n MM rom installed...
Unfortunately i lost all my data.....

There are 2 ways to flash it... one way is keeping your data and the other one to wipe your internal storage ....
If you look further on the link that i provide
You can find it...
But if you think that you know everything why you ask for help here???........

Look...
my screen is burnt and it isnt a software issue.
i contacted LG and said that in order to change the screen they have to change the motherboard too. Thats why i will lose all my data.
So im asking here, if there is a way to back up ot transfer my files from my lg to the pc through download mode so that when they fix my device i can put all the photos in there again.
If your screen is burnt they don't need to change the motherboard as well, so what they're essentially saying is they'll do what apple does and instead of fixing the phone they'll give you a replacement (at a cost to you).
The choice you need to make is whether to keep your warranty or your photos. If you want the warranty go down that route with LG.
If you want your photos replace the screen yourself or have someone do it for you. I run a phone repair business and can tell you the cost price of the g3 screens hovers between £25-40 depending on how many you buy and where from, so if you go to a shop expect to shell out around the equivalent of £50-60 in your currency. LG will, more than likely, charge you more.
That been said if its more than the screen and if your motherboard has decided to give up the ghost then you'd be cheaper and better off just buying another phone, unless you can somehow use that as a ticket to get LG to replace it for free given most motherboard failures have nothing to do with the user at fault.
If your mobo is dead they won't be able to detect root so don't worry about that.
