I have this really rare problem from time to time, my screen starts to turn on and off with some green lines tearing and artifacting. This effect continues when I trigger screen movement (any screen action, like scrolling) until I reboot. Rebooting dosent seem to fix the problem instantly (it's coming back as soon as the phone goes past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 logo) but it goes away rapidly after reboot when I do so.
Strange fact: this seems to occur when I'm outside and the weather is cold (minus 1 or 2 celcius) and It never happened with a battery over 60%.
Anyone has a cue on the problem? Is it hardware related? If it is, how come the post-android boot screen dosen't seems to be affected ?
Model number is 910U on Fido network in Canada.

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Gear Live : sometimes the screen won't turn off (or dim) by itself. when I stop using it it will just dim slightly but still display the whole watch face and not get as dark as when it dims properly. It seems to happen randomly after I use it (with an "OK google" command or something) and then it will only turn off if I use the button or cover the screen. From the moment it starts acting up, it will never turn off automatically untill I reboot the watch...
Has any one else experienced this, or even have a solution ?
I hoped today's update would fix the problem but it didn't, so it keeps happily eating all the battery if I don't pay attention.
Thanks.

My wife and I each have a Gear Live. We've experienced this problem repeatedly over the last 2 years. Restarting the watch fixes the problem temporarily. Sometimes the problem will go away for months on end. Other times it happens over and for over days. I'm guessing it's some kind of hardware fluke on the Gear Live.
hi guys, need help with following:
sometimes the screen flickers and stop responding overal....when he is in the mood. Sometimes works 2-3 hours with no problem and sometimes I cant use it at all - display is flickering and stop responding and if I lock the screen with power button and push the button again the screen is unfreezing for a while. I have tried everything- reinstal oficial ROM, root the phone and instal some custom ROMs, custom recovery, wipe and clean everything nothing helps. Мy suspicions are that there is some hardware problem and there is no software solution, but if someone has faced such troubles and find a way to resolve them pls share

it probably is a hardware issue, most likely the adreno GPU failing. Youve flashed the tar.md5 stock firmware and its still doing it? If so, its very likely a hardware issue

yep, I've flashed the original tar, also tried with 4 file with pit. Some time the phone starts flickers on the Samsung logo at the beginning, some time passes the logo and initial setup and then starts....maybe your are right, I just love my phone and didn't want to RIP him. The only thing I didn't try is to install something different than Marshmallow and to decrease working frequencies. Can you please tell me if the problem is form GPU is it worth to be fixed?
you could try a new battery , my S3 had screen flickering problems at aprox 30% battery and then freezes and reboot and battery after reboot suddenly 2% and after that screen flicker and no power anymore.
Try reboot with only charger connected and no battery connected
can't do that - the phone cannot be started without battery inside. Furthermore the battery is brand new original and I start using it after the problems started
You can look with phone info app from play store. Look which date the phone was made and when its more then 2 years then its hardware issue. On my display its only flickering on the very lowest brightness levels when i make it brighter the flickering is gone. When your phone is so too then its hardware issue but i will look with another battery from a friend and will report. I think its the display like plasma 1-2 years burn-in.

I had the same problem with screen flickering with my s5 (QCOM variant). It had started after screen replacement in a repair point. It would get the worst when screen brightess was at the minimum level. Sometimes the screen would not wake up, and low temperature/ low battery level made it even worse. The answer to the problem is a defective screen which needs replacing. No other way as far as I know.
the screen is flickering

I have the Samsung Galaxy S5. I also had the issue of when I had the screen brightness on auto it would flicker or if it was on a low setting it would do the same. If I raised the brightness it would stop. When the battery goes below 8% it starts flickering non-stop and the only way to stop it is to plug it in to an outlet. I took it to Verizon about 6 months ago (about the 2 1/2 year mark when it had been doing it since around 2 years) - of course their immediate answer was to do a factory reset and after that they had no solution (I did NOT do a factory reset). I'm eager to hear if a new battery corrects it or if it is indeed the screen/display. This may be a way to make sure we get a new phone every two years...
my case looks different. The flickering not depend form brightens or remaining charge in battery. Furthermore sometime it stops at all and I can use the phone without any problems for 1 or 2 hours. I did factory reset several time and reinstall software (official and custom). Perhaps there is some hardware issue and a phone upgrade is upcoming.
I tested with a battery from a friend yesterday and its the same. I will do this week a odin stock flash day and then i will see. But i think its the display.
Occasionally my phone will just go crazy, screen will get all jittery,touching on a menu doesn't work ,it mainly happens on noughat stock and custom ROMs.,random apps popping up.any experience anything like that?a simple reboot fixes the problem.

It's an inherent issue with some displays present on the Moto G4. It most often happens when you charge your phone. Too much current builds into the frame of the display and you get weird ghost and jitter touches.
No way around it unless you send it in, and even then it may be only a temporary fix.
I also face this issue. Unable to find solid solution for this. Finally i decied to go for custom rom like RR and Invicta. This still comes occasionally(when Heats too much during phone charging)

On my phone this happens while not charging. Seems to happen about one out of every 3 times the phone is unlocked using the fingerprint sensor. Locking the screen and unlocking via a pin seems to be a reliable way of getting past the issue. Though occasionally it happens on the pin entry screen before it the pin has been entered. Needless to say, it IS annoying.
Same problem which is fixed.
I had this problem with the factory firmware too, intermittent bouts of the phone going crazy with phantom touches on my Moto G4. I sent it to Motorola/Lenovo after the supplier gave me their phone number and they did find the problem and fix it. Now I can play graphic intensive games even during fast charge and the phone is awesome for once. : )
Please note they will fix it for free if in warranty and bootloader not yet modified.
Pressing power button to turn off the display and then pressing power button again to turn the display back on will provide temporary relief from jittery screen. I noticed that the jittery screen has twice subsided over time but came back twice immediately after OS upgrade so blaming the problem on charging, or hardware doesn't seem accurate.

As a last ditch effort prior to buying a replacement phone I deleted all apps I installed, reset phone and reinstalled fresh copies of most if the apps I needed.
I don't recall every thing I did but my focus was to delete everything I could and then reset phone back to factory state. After reinstalling, my jittery problem went away and has not returned. Your millage may very, so no promises. Phil

phone going crazy
Hi,
I am having the same exact problem. I have observed that Google Assistant is intruding because each time this happens, Google Assistant is trying to run. Reboot is a temporary fix but the problem persists. I have removed most of the third party apps just to see if anything changes but it did not work.
This is not something that was happening from the start. I have the phone for about 2 months put the problem only started a couple weeks ago. I would love to hear if there is a solution and what. Thanks
Sadly, but compared to the issues visible indoors, in outdoors this Lenovo gift turns complete crap:
youtu.be/dTcHclVEfCg
"Lenovo Moto Z2 Force touchscreen gets completely unusable when getting outdoors! The video is made at about 0 degrees Celsius. So it takes about 30 sec from getting MotoZ2 Frc to sleep with pwr btn (and wakeing up back) to see the touchscreen goes crazy. At -10C, it takes ~5 sec. At +15-20C, after several min it becomes unresponsive and have to use pwr button to recover.
Lenovo, what you have done to Motorola ?!!"
Can it be fixed somehow with changing the upper protective part? I have seen comments that the touchscreen can stop working completely, if peel off the cover part..
Hi,
My phone's screen has started to act in a weird way today. Whenever I'm scrolling the screen splits into two halves and while the left half scrolls as always, the right half just randomly jumps, lagging behind it. It's very similar to this video: youtu.be/iHLLy9gjOpo
I tried booting it into safe mode and even the samsung logo kept going off and on which makes me think there is something more serious going on.
I'm running Android 6.0.1 vanilla, not even rooted.
Thanks
Is it like this?

I am facing this problem the phone keeps hanging/freezing and restarts even in recovery mode

Hi, it's similar, but it's not freezing, it just splits itself into two halves.
The problem started a few days back, after using my phone display just stops working ie the screen goes black as if it is switched off although I get calls and message notifications. This started to become more frequent but a couple of restarts with no display used to do the trick. The day before yesterday, no matter how many restarts display remained off at first I thought this might be a rom issue so I flashed stock rom. phone booted up and after 20 mins of usage, the screen started going black yet again. and no number of restarts could again fix the problem. Now the phone display turns up every once in a day for about 10 mins. Also when I get into the bootloader ( when the display works) the text all get distorted after some time with lots of green and pink lines running here and there. any guess what the issue might be? Is it the displays problem or any other hardware? Please help
