Hello, I had all the galaxies since the s1. No major problems at all.
When I bought my s4, I installed a custom rom and the wifi couldn't be turned on, eventually replacing the kernel fixed the problem.
Now I have another problem. Out of nowhere , my screen is displaying random lines. When I boot it up I can see the screen like tripled. The same test shows in 3 different locations.
After the booting screen, display gets black and it is only displaying some lines when I try to lock the screen.
Since I flashed a custom rom, my warranty is voided.

Hi ,
Mate we need more info , the image you sent looks very bad , how it does look after booting up, can you see anything , what about in recovery and download??
Regarding your warranty it depends in what you have and what you did........from download mode you could see if your warranty is set or not
looks like the display is gone....needs to be replaced
The issue almost looks like a monitor issue on a PC when the cable is not properly plugged in. It's either a display or cable issue inside the phone. As mentioned above, do the lines also display in recovery/download mode?

I have the chance to compare my 10.1v with an Ipad 1 so here is the first picture (both devices with medium brightness).
It'll be a work in progress. Tomorrow I'll have more time and I'll post a full review, with images and videos.
I'll post videos here.
Looking forward to seeing the review. I'm more interested in the 10.1 but the screen quality definitely interests me here.
i guess samsung tab should vs ipad 2
I don't have an Ipad 2, just the first one.
I returned my 10.1v, it became a brick.

What happened ?
As a stated on another thread, I played around for half an hour. Due to a lot of forced closes on browser, decided to turn off the device. It froze on "Do you want to shut down?".
Pressed a couple of times the power button and the first screen "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v" appeared, but it never passed from there.
Tryed power + vol down and entered unlock mode with no problems. Pressed the power button to get out and restart, but same issue ocurred. The only way to turn it off is power + volume up and down for 10 secs.
I think even charging was affected, because when I plugged it, the symbol of a battery appeared, but nothing happened afterward.

early adopters penalty!
Are you getting it replaced? I'm sure it was just a dodgy unit. I've not heard of anyone else with that issue - the only issue that I know of is the light-bleed issue for which Vodafone AU have been replacing them.
I know of 2 Tabs here in Portugal whose screen, after 4 days of normal use, started malfunctioning. An error like mine, I never heard of it, not even in another tabs' fora.
I got a refund. Imagine if it happened again... The store might say I've been messing with something or trying to install custom Rom (there isn't any, I know eheh). My unit had bleeding too, I think they all have.
Took delivery of my S4 I9505 in May very happy no issues & had not yet decided whether to root or not .......... I was prompted for an Android update approx 2 weeks ago which i completed with no issues then Yesterday My wifi nor my bluetoooth will activate ...... on the pull down the icons go green but appear 'greyed out' & starting from the settings connection menu has no effect either
After telephoning EE UK tech support was advised remove battery then restart .... no change ....... factory reset ..... no change take too nearest shop for a 2/3 week repair service with a dalek for a lend phone .....
Since then I have tried a hard reset several times ,,,,, I have also flashed the 2 stock roms available through here via Odin with still no change ..... I do not wish to try any rooted roms (I got done with a£120 bill for my s2 from samsung last year ) any other suggestions before I have to succumb to EEs yet to be proven repair service ........
I've got the exact same issue. I've had mine since launch day and no problems at all until two days ago this randomly started happening...

Notice how the buttons are dark green rather than bright green to indicate "on" or grey to indicate "off".
When you go into Wi-Fi settings this is all you ever see...
I read somewhere that this is due to early models having an issue with the wifi/bluetooth chip or the board itself. Unless someone has an idea what is really causing this, I'm going to have to send this back tomorrow which will be a pain in the backside.
Thanks in advance
[UPDATE] Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth appear to have come back on after ten minutes of constant restarting of the handset. Left the handset on for at least 6 hours, restarted again and then I was back to square one again as they were struggling to switch on. Got it up and running again for the time being though.

Unfortunately the White Screen problem was happening to my Galaxy Y Intentional Version and I tried resetting and flashing the original rom again and nothing brought me the normal display back. Even not the Samsung Logo not showed up!
Everything worked fine since I could here sounds when booting up! So the Odin method worked in software side as per my knowledge.
Now, today I replace it with a new LCD. Thankfully it shows the recovery menu, download mode and Samsung logo but after booting up, alas! the colors are inverted and distorted!
I flashed again for original rom using Odin and it was successful. Make sounds usually and boots and responds to the keys except touch screen. (Middle key, Vol keys and Power key)
My doubt is, if there's any other hardware problem still there, how is it possible to display all the Logo, Download and Recovery Menu, Charging Icon crystal clear and not the Android home?
Here are some photos of the device.
Charging Works Fine

Samsung Logo also fine and clear!
Alas! What is this? This is what happens after all!
Inverted colors and Distorted image!
I need some expert advises! I possibly assume that this is a software glitch or something related. Correct me if I am wrong.
I don't want to go to a shop. I am in Sri Lanka and it will take forever and will not actually repair. I got once and they just replaced my SD card and LCD to a cheap and second-hand ones and now it is okay to try it myself at any cost! :crying:
I have moderate knowledge about Android and Electronics. Please guide me through and anyone who is having the same issue, support me. :highfive:
Thank you! :victory:
I have almost same problem, it is PCB issue, as I check with another LCD and it persists. Also software flash did not recover it.
Yes. I also replaced the LCD twice. It presists the same error. Now it's white screen of death. Trying to replace the display socket with my own tools.

Please take a look at this picture. This is "pointer location" option in Developer Options. The red line is an arch I made with a single stroke, but as you see it is broken in two places. There is a part on the screen where it happens at the entire width of display. It is not constant, but happens many, many times a day. I also get screen freezes, and ghost touches which run apps, make random phone calls, etc.

I think this is a known symptom of degradation for the Nexus 4. Two of my friends already had this problem and nothing but a replacement screen could fix their problems. As I did research for them I came across many people who suffered from the same issues.
I have the same problem , it'a just about a month that is happening and it doesn't recognize the right part of the screen
Here I have the same problem, about 1 month ago started to have some touch parts dead, but it has been worsening, now its almost useless.
I too had the same problem. I had to change the screen. It cost about £30 from ebay for a new one. On the replacement I noticed that the version number of the screen was higher and also the manufacturing date was a few months younger than the broken original. Also the digitizer lines look different when light shines on them. Perhaps they realized that there was an issue with some of the earlier models.
Surprisingly the issue lessened for me. It is not gone completely, but for the last 5-6 days it does not happen as often as it used to, now maybe only once a day. A week ago I started using _only_ the original charger. I had read somewhere that a faulty battery or charger may be causing erratic screen. Not sure if the change of charger has anything to do with it, or if that's just a fluke.
Hi everyone.
I am having a big problem with my phone, and since I messed up my warranty by rooting my phone, I am gonna try to find help here, and I really hope someone knows how to fix this issue.
So I got my S7 Edge this summer straight out of the box and it was working perfect. A couple of months after that it started freezing and restarting once every week or so, but I didnt think much of it. Slowly it was doing that more and more, until the point where the screen would freeze and the phone would restart 5 times a day. Shortly after it got stuck in a bootloop. I went to the store I bought it from but since a had a small scratch on the screen they wouldnt repair it without me paying for the screen change. Since it was a lot of money I tried to repair my phone at home by rooting my phone and installing a stock firmware. That didnt work so I installed a custom rom, that worked for a day but then it got back in the bootloop. Now I cant even be in TWRP without it freezing and restarting. My question to you guys is, has anyone had this issue (I hope not because its the worst) and is there any chance I could fix this myself?
I found this picture on google that resembles how my phone looks when it freezes/crashes. It gets these small pixel on the screen, not on the whole screen like in this picture, just on parts of the screen and on different parts everytime.

I have exactly the same problem. I think is somehow power related. Happens more frequently when phone is plugged in or when there's an increase in power consumption...
Is there a fix for it? I am having the same problem.
I found out that is the EMMC and the only fix is motherboard replacement... SAD

I guess you are right since the crashes were more frequent when I had a memory card in the slot. I thought that maybe my memory card was incompatible. But the eMMC seems to be the problem
