About an hour ago I started the encryption process (running 5.0), the screen flashed a security-themed android logo and then went black (backlight on, black screen.) Was wondering if anyone else has done this and how long it took. Should I be worried?
I think it's a bug

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Sapphire (HTC Magic from Vodafone UK). Problem with it this morning stopping me using it so urgently need some help!! I've included all details I can think of below to help someone diagnose the issue.
Been a very happy CM user for several months now and upgraded to 5.0.8 just a week or two ago. I did a full backup and wipe and haven't had any problems with it until last night.
Just before going to bed I noticed when pushing the menu/red button to turn the screen on, the keypad lights would light up but the screen wouldn't turn on. This happened a couple times in the last week but taking the battery out and restarting resolved it before. So I did that last night and it started up again and I went to sleep.
This morning I went to use the phone and it seemed a little strange, like some of my settings were back to default (security lock pattern went red when wrong, no battery % in title etc.), but the phone worked and I could make a call.
I then tried to configure the settings but as soon as I tried to enter any category I got FC's in the Settings app. So I restarted...(strangely silent/airplace modes weren't options, only reboot/switch off)
This time after the red Vodafone boot logo the phone got stuck in a boot loop - (CM specific: the 4-colour X swirl would be OK but after 3/4 silver X swirls the 4-colour one would start again) and this continues until pulling the battery out.
Left battery out a while but no help.
Went into recovery console and wiped cache - startup took a lot longer but still eventually got stuck in a restart loop.
Will reflashing CM help? Should I bother with a wipe (would rather not cause no backup!)
ANY OTHER IDEAS??? I'm really stuck/frustrated/depressed right now as this is my only phone and I'm not even living in my home country so am really cut off right now.
Thanks to anyone in advance.

My screen glitches (think of TV static, but striped and colored similar to the background image) about 5 seconds after booting into android (after the nexus logo loads.
The tablet is fully functional doing the 5 seconds. After that, the screen glitches like above, and I can hear a faint sound from the nexus 7 that grows in pitch until it bursts and the device shuts down. Then, it tried to boot again and this process is repeated.
I don't know what caused this - I haven't used my nexus 7 for few weeks or so, and the last time I used it it was working.
The bootloader is unlocked but it is running stock 4.2.
I have tried booting into recovery mode and wiping data, but that doesn't fix anything.
Anyone know how to fix the issue?
Hello everyone,
i'm posting on behalf of a friend of mine. He has a i9505 that suddenly stopped working. He told me the phone would randomly shut off completely for no reason. I took a look at it today. On boot the phone would display the kernel logo distorted (vertical lines) and the WHOLE screen would turn green. This happens only sometimes however. After displaying the kernel logo the phone simply shuts off. Even in the recovery it would suddenly reboot. And the a blue led lights up sometimes.
I've never owned a samsung but i have the phone here with me (LG/Sony user ). I went ahead and flashed I9505XXUGNF1_I9505OXAGNF1_I9505XXUGNF1_HOME.tar.md5 in Odin. Flashing went okay, the problem persists.
Btw, knox is 0x1. My friend told me he only did a factory reset, never rooted etc. Can't comment on which version of android he had before.
Can someone help out?
Hello, recently I've encountered an issue. After flashing a google experience rom, I started experiencing minor screen flashing issues, the screen went black every 5 minutes for a second or so, after a few days it doesn't turn on. When booting into TWRP or Fastboot everything works fine, no flickering is showing up. Flashed global rom an hour ago, wiped everything including vendor. The setup did not have any flickering, but when I got into the home screen the screen shut off. Seems like a software issue to me, not a hardware one. What could be the solution?
My Note 3 has occasional problems during boot and consistent problems during lock screen.
Occasionally during boot instead of seeing the Samsung logo during startup the screen becomes pixellated and unchanging - i.e. a bunch of random pixels. The phone continues to boot up otherwise and the OS works. To buy-pass the boot problem I need to take the battery out of the phone for about 2 minutes (or more) and it would normally boot fine after that. When it boots up I often see a part of the screen momentarily go pixellated before it starts the usual boot loop.
When the devices boots up fine lock screen has problems. When I turn on lock screen the screen remains black thereafter and soon reboots.
I have SM-N9005 with LineageOS 18.1 +microG + Magisk. I don't think the problem is due to LOS because boot problems existed in the previous OS (Android 5), and lock screen problems occasionally came up. I hoped installing LOS will sort out the problems, but alas... I have tried using an app called Wakelock v3 to sort out the screen lock problems in the same way as for Note 4, but the app seems to have made no difference. Since installing LOS I have not had a single successful lock screen, with or without the app.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Flash stock rom via Odin and test .
