Hi i have problem with my s5 display, it starts going crazy like scrolling up constantly, when i use it and then switch the power button to shut thr display the phone does not power back up unless i remove battery, otherwise the two button lights only show.
Prior to this problem, it started when my mic at the bottom stopped working, and then the pinnacle point was when i unrooted my s5 and rebooted, immediately the colors turned to different tints of colours.
The next day it started going all fuzzy and scrolling up.
Took it to samsung but waa refused as i found out about the knox counter lol
I have my usb port dock part which im ready to replace on my mainboard. But what ia causing the funny display ? I can barely use my phone, the digitizer seems fine aa at times it works for like 5mins.
What ive tried:
Factory reset
Reroot
Phoenix rom
I have a video to show you guys.

I bought an i9505x from eBay, before realising that the "x" signified a shop display demo model, which has the SIM socket disabled.
I then bought a working, unlocked i9505 logic board from eBay to replace the dummy one.
I received both and the demo unit was in immaculate condition, booted and displayed "Galaxy S5, Live Demo" on splash screen startup. Everything worked apart from SIM of course. All sensors, camera, WiFi... everything apart from mobile networking.
I then swapped the demo board for the full logic board (and added the thin antenna cable that runs down the side of the screen as this wasn't present on the demo phone). The phone booted and received telephony and internet from both the giffgaff and three SIM cards I tried in it. Everything else worked.
I rooted/CWM'ed it and upgraded the ROM to 4.3 or 4.4 (can't remember which one) and it worked OK for maybe two days and I went to work. When I got back from work my girlfriend said it had been displaying green lines and dots on the screen so she turned it off and put it on charge.
I had a look and there were intermittent rolling pale green lines quickly moving up and down the screen on boot, with a few dots the same colour at seemingly random intervals. After leaving the battery out for 30 mins and putting on charge for 30 mins I managed to get it to boot into ROM and all seemed well until I tried to reboot and the lines/dots happened again, with the dots getting worse.
In a tiny font on the display it seemed to have a line of text, but as it was so small and scrolling about I couldn't read it. A couple of boots later and the screen is totally blank.
I've flashed a stock 4.3 ROM on it by guessing the download key combination, as there's no display for download mode. Odin responded correctly, showed a connected device and went through the ten minute flash process and rebooted the phone.
The phone now boots and makes the Samsung startup tune and once booted I get the volume adjust bleeps when I press volume up/down so I know the ROM has booted but the screen is totally dead. I even get the initial blue LED for a couple of seconds on boot.
I'm going to try swapping the demo board back in today to prove if the screen is dead or not.
If the screen is OK then could it be the GPU portion of the logic board?
If so, what are the chances of me swapping chips around? I imagine this would be an impossibly tricky job to do at home.
Thanks for reading.
How much have you laid out so far £££ ?
hi
my galaxy s4 gti9505 got water damaged
i opened it and cleaned it the propper way
now then first phone would not charge and after more drying and cleaning finally got to work.
the problems are as listed below
-touch screen sometimes starts responding on its own without me even touching it but after pressing power button and turning screen back on starts to work again
-will not connect to computer did before but now has stopped keeps saying connected to dock but charges
-touch screen above the home button and menu button and back button about 1 cm of the screen does not record my touch for eg. if i type in a keyboard holding phone vertically i cannot use the space or symbol or even keyboard setting (however when phone starts responding itself them buttons start working by themselves but will not allow me to use them sometimes i can use space).
ok now what i have done so far is as follows
- was rooted so my knox counter is 0x1
-warranty has been voided because of water damage and knox counter and i also spoke to samsung and they said we will charge you for fixing it but not sure what the problem is
-its on android 4.4.2 stock now but no propper bootlader as it was on chainfires root
-i cleared cache and full factory reset several times
i changed my charging port unit but made it worse as i could not lock screen using power button kept waking up strait away so i changed back to my first charging port flex cable and that issue has been sorted.
im using the phone everyday and touchscreen works fine apart from that little problem so im thinking the digitizer is ok
i think it is the function button or sensor that is causing this problem i am having
need your help guys
I've read a lot about the screen flickering issue, suggestions range from changing options in developer options, removing your SD, squeezing certain parts of the phone, slapping it, replacing the screen etc. I was rooted on lollipop using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370 and after the root the screen returned to normal for about 20 minutes. Over about a month or so after this the problem got worse, I'd have to press the power button 20 or more times to get the screen to come one and as of 3 days ago I haven't been able to use the phone at all. Today I was messing with it and found that if I reboot the phone holding the power and volume down buttons, the screen flickers and I see the yellow triangle with an exclamation point briefly, and flickers out again until the samsung boot screen, every time I do this, the phone stays on. I have USB stayawake on and if plugged in the phone will stay awake for hours until I push the power button to turn off screen, and then repeat the reboot process. Just in case there was a software issue I upgraded to the latest update by using odin, I'm now on 6.0.1 and the phone was working perfectly for an hour before it returned again. If the issue is the flex/ribbon cable that connects the screen or other hardware issue, I don't see how rebooting would help, but if its a software issue, I don't understand why its only after I turn off the screen. Regardless, even when the phone was working it would still flicker on the lowest brightness, but at least the power button would work. Anyone have any ideas?
I've been in this type of your situation believe me all those solutions you mentioned above non of them really work, infact i nearly got my phone twisted because of one stupid yellow flickers. As of now the only perfectly working solution according to my extensive research is first of all never put it in auto brightness, you can reduce the brightness to a minimum, this happens on many samsung devices like s4,note 3 and even some s6 due to the amoled screens you'll notice when you reduce your brightness to the lowest it start immediately. I only got one report on this same issue damaging a s5 but it rear so dont be scared of loosing your phone. I'll upload a sreenshot of my minimum brightness to give an ldea.

The not using auto brightness does stop the screen from flickering so if I have to turn it down, I turn it down to just below where it starts happening but I still have the issue of the screen not coming on with the power button consistently, it flashes on for a second then back off, not nearly long enough for me to unlock the phone, except for when I restart it using power+vol down
EDIT: I see now this probably should've gone in the help and troubleshooting sub-forum, if any mod sees this, please move it for me.
It worked perfectly for me except your is getting worse by the week. Never mind i just got a new way may be it'll work on your phone, move your brightness tray to the highest or at the middle, keep using it as normal for every day use for at least a week. It worked for my indian friend as he told me. Keep in touch.

The first day it didn't seem to make a difference but I didn't check on it a lot, after that I've checked a few times and it does seem to make a difference it comes on much more frequently now, almost every time, but what could be the cause of the issue then? When I thought it was the ribbon cable connecting the screen I wasn't opposed to replacing it if I have to, but now I'm not sure how to go about fixing this or if I even can other than just leaving brightness up
Just to update, keeping it on max brightness did a lot to solve the issues, but it was still under warranty through Samsung so I sent it in, its on its way back, but according to the report they replaced the LCD
i was using my s7 edge today, and in the middle of browsing facebook the screen just went black, the phone didnt die because the navigation buttons still light up when i press back or recent, also i still get notification light, i tried to do a hard reset to restart (holding power and vol down) but the phone and it still has a black screen.. anyone know what i should do? or has this happen to anyone

This happened two days ago with my wife's S7 Edge. She was using it to text me about dinner plans after work, her screen shut off, and it wouldn't work for several hours. The thing was getting very hot. When she was home and charging the phone the screen started working again for a little while, but with several green stripes down the right edge snd aa flashing horizontal band of grey near the top overlaying the screen image. Then when I tried plugging it into my computer to use Samsung's Smart Switch to roll back from the update she had accepted while at work the screen died again. It has not come on since, not even the stripes, and blue or red LED lights once in a wwhile at random. I managed to use Smart Switch to wipe the phone's memory. Then the program took several hours to download something very slowly and install that - a whole new OS update? That completed, and now the charging LED works correctly and the green stripes and grey band are back, flashing rapidly when powering on. Otherwise no screen function.
She is now trying to find a new phone, but definitely NOT a Samsung. This S7 Edge has already had the screen replaced once, just before the first year warranty ran out, as it did almost the same thing - in March the green striping (plus pink) appeared along one edge and the battery was running out very fast, the phone overheating so much that she found it uncomfortable to hold. We argued with Samsung a lot until they replaced the screen. Something is VERY wrong with this model. She's considering an LG. What a waste of money. One would expect a thousand dollar phone to last longer than this.
I am facing what I think to be the same issue with my son's phone. Green line down right side edge. Screen turns on for a second, then black screen. It's on, but can't do anything. Did you find a fix for this?
No. Today I gave up and took my wife's S7 Edge to the authorized repair centre. They say they'll run a diagnostic for $25, and if the screen needs to be replaced it will cost $385. Brilliant. If this thing gets fixed I will be running custom ROMs on the phone, probably an RR, as it seems Samsung's OTA updates kill phones.
Turned in out the authorized repair centre for our region, Acura in Surrey, BC, went ahead with the screen replacement without our authorization. I specifically said in a note given to them at the time that they were to ask first. But they didn't bother. My wife decided she liked the phone enough to pay over $400 to get it back. It's been working for a few weeks now. Hope it stays working. At this point I have a strong feeling that the S7 Edge was a poorly made device, at least some batches. The reports of these screen failures are just too common.
Check if your screen still alive or maybe connected correctly, here is a way to do it:
1- plug it in your computer then start smart switch
2- dail *#7353#
3- you can now test any thing in your phone
4- search for the TSP
5- try now to touch your device screen
If it display in the computer that mean the touch is working but the screen is not
If the toch is not working you have to check the cables if its connected correctly inside your phone
But if you have warranty don't waste your time and let them fix it, and don't forget to backup your files
Woke up this morning and started using my phone, noticed that the screen became unresponsive for a few seconds at a time and then I saw some gray horizontal lines.
Did a battery pull and restarted the phone, however, the screen is completely black and I can still hear the boot sound.
It requires a pin to start completely and I can feel the vibration when I touch the location of the back button (the only navigation key available on the pin screen).
Since this started happening I have tried restarting several times and I have seen the "LG splash screen" once, it freezes, the boot sound plays and the screen goes black once again.
The phone is unrooted and has never been modified any at all. It is the US996 variant.
Has anyone ever faced this issue? Could it be the display itself and maybe a replacement LCD will fix the issuse?
UPDATE
Got past the pin screen and think the phone has fully booted, fingerprint scanner works, I can touch the navigation keys and get feedback and I am still getting notifications.
However, the main screen is still blank and the second screen shows the time surrounded by static surrounded. I have attached a photo.
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Hi Have you fixed the issue?
Hi
it looks like a corrupt bootloader,
Was it rooted? try to press with the phone off volume + and plug in the usb to enter in download mode, if you enter download mode go back to factory

Had to send it in to LG to have it repaired
Oddly enough once it was returned the problem reoccured a few weeks later after using an aukey quick charge3.0 charger that I had. Which was when it happened the first time but I didn't make the connection until the second time around
I got rid of the phone though
No more LGs for me, I haven't had much luck with them
Throw that charger seems like or the cable or the charger itself gone bad ,one charger killed 2 of my phones not diferent brands
