So randomly, my screen stopped working. I cannot figure out what caused it.
it was fine earlier in the day, then i left my phone completely alone for a few hours, and come back to it to find the screen not working.
When i wake the screen, there is a little bar of light that flashes on the screen, it is maybe 3mm wide, and extends the width of the screen, it flashes, then disappears, and my screen remains pitch black.
is this hardware related?
the only thing I can think of software wise is that my phone is rooted, has exposed module installed, and I am running wanam and gravity box
removing the battery and putting it back in does not replace the issue. as soon as the screen awakes and tries to show anything, the orange bar flashes and disappears.
Start by seeing if you can boot to download or recovery mode. This will bypass most software related issues.
Remove your phone battery for ten seconds. Then press and continue holding keys in this order, volume down, home and lastly the power key. After about five seconds the phone should boot to the Download screen and display some system information.
If so, then try clearing your cache from recovery mode, booting to safe mode or flashing a 100% stock firmware from download mode to recover. If you can't boot to download, recovery or safe mode then it would appear that you have a hardware problem.

Ok so i was wrong, it doesn't shut off, it goes past the green windows mobile screen, then past the t-mobile shadow screen, then just sits there with a black screen, the power lights are on, but just stays black forever
One other note is a hard reset isn't possible it seems because the phone cannot be turned off
If the battery is removed it shuts off of course, but when its put back in it just starts up and apparently thats not good enough to do the hard reset because it just boots up like normal to the black screen
Try pressing the hard reset keys as you place the battery in. You might need someone else to put the battery in while you press the keys. If that seems tedious or doesn't work, try starting with bootloader buttons (Camera and power button at the same time). Then connect it to your computer and run T-Mobile's update.
Hopefully, that should work.
When ever I reboot my phone and plug it in to my computer (to charge, not for data transfer), the screen seems to be "stuck" on the boot image. I still have access to the notification bar and the genius and camera buttons, but the home, menu and back buttons don't do anything.
Any ideas why?
EDIT: It might only happen when I plug my phone in after it shuts down and before it reboots...
OK - so I have searched and can't find a solution - so hoping someone can help! My Nexus 7 is effectively dead at the moment
So, I noticed what appeared to be a bug with the automatic brightness a couple of days ago, where if I tried to turn on the screen in a dark room it wouldn't, turned the lights on, worked fine, I then set it manual brightness so I could the lights off - so figured fine, probably a software bug, will be fixed in 4.1.2 or whatever.
Then yesterday I was playing with the auto brightness again, set it to automatic and instantly the screen went off and I haven't been able to get it back on. I have tried:
1. Reboot (holding down power button for 10 seconds). Result is Google logo comes up, followed by nexus logo (so backlight does work) then the screen goes off.
2. Factory reset (hold down power button and both volume buttons) - picture of Android lying on back comes up. Interestingly when plugged into power the buttons are then unresponsive, but when I do this under battery power they work. So (under battery power) I selected Recovery Mode, and the screen then shows the Google logo for in excess of an hour. It doesn't go any further. So I can't factory reset either!!
When the screen is off, I have plugged into my computer, and it recognised. I managed to unlock it once (by guessing the pattern unlock) and I could see the file system. So it is on and working, the backlight is just off and I can't find any way to turn it on!
It is not rooted.
Any ideas or help???
Immediately after unlock,at times,my screen goes half black and after pressing home key i am able to get the full screen.This does not happen all the times but sometimes it does.
Did you try restarting to safe mode to see if the issue persists

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does it do it in safe mode?
Are you stock? if not, what mods, rom, kernel, etc?
I am on stock unrooted.How do I attach screenshots with my post?I have a screenshot wherein the problem is seen.
Does it do it in safe mode? To get into safe mode hit the power button to shut down then tap and hold the on screen power down button rather than tapping. An option to boot into safe mode should come up. Then you can test app by all to see what is causing the fubar.
I also have exactly same problem in my Moto x play.
Did u find any solution?
I tried to enter recovery mode on my S7 Edge, using the power and volume up buttons, but the phone would restart and crash, repeated a few times.
Now my phone has a light blue indicator and a black screen, Google says that a light blue indicator means a failing motherboard.
The phone is currently unplugged, and still in the same state. (I have already tried to turn off the phone by holding the volume down and power buttons).
Someone help please, it's the phone's 2nd motherboard, and the guy who replaced it the first time said it would be difficult to get another.
I imagine this could be caused by a broken or loose connector. Also the guy could have put in a heavily used board that was already close to failing. Try connecting it to your computer and check what it shows up as. Was the phone ever water damaged by any chance?
