Good evening guys and gals please bear with me as i'm new to this forum anywho i've recently replaced my screen on my galaxy s4 after attempting to replace just the shattered glass and failed! went to go power on the phone for the first time with the new screen and everything was great................................................................. for about 5 minutes the screen has freaked out big time on the odd occasion will display properly most of the time its just freaking out. Ive managed to do a factory reset using the android device manager and that seemed to help it out for 10 minutes until it returned to freaking out. Could this be software related? As it booted up fine before the freaking out and is still allowing me to use the touch screen as i can hear the phone unlock. Or should i be contacting the person i got the screen from asking for my money back? My phone was completely fine running wise until i had to change over the screen. i hope you guys canhelp me out as im stuck in a rut as to what to do

Ok so i don't know how many of you remember my returning GT 10.1 thread.
Long story short i ordered at Gt from amazon it arrived DOA didn't charge at all so i called samsung they had no clue so i called amazon and got a replacement. "still haven't even been able to ship original back"
So Friday i received the replacement and i was so happy i did it i was really happy with the tab until last night.. The touch screen started acting funny it wond't respond then i lock it, it start responding then about a minute later becomes unresponsive again now im getting a second replacement after this im done and getting a refund!! anyone else with this problem??
Btw It started working once in a while it will freeze but im still gonna get it replaced its already one the way. no it wansn't because i installed an app because i did a factory wipe and it was still running the same.
I had this on my first tab. It would become completely unresponsive to touch. I had to press the power button to get it to respond again.
I just got my transformer in a few days ago, bought it off of a store on eBay that I HAVE ordered from before. All the plastic was on the device and everything, thank god I haven't flashed custom ROM. Just a few minutes ago my girl was playing pinball when the screen started going NUTS on her. The screen started flashing on and off and then colored waves of pixels started passing through random bits of the screen. The game stayed in the background while all this happened I guess on top of it. It just kept doing it and would act like it was going to stop for a second then happen again. Finally I was able to turn it off after having to time my ninja-like finger jabs with the screen flicker. I waited a few minutes and turned it on again. The ASUS screen popped up and then went black for a minute, I pressed the power button quickly and the Eee pad screen popped up and then went into the lock screen. Everything seemed normal for 2-3 minutes, I downloaded a quick dead pixel detector app and everything passed fine. I just rooted last night using Razorclaw, so I checked my superuser to make sure there were no problems (just in case) and it needed an update. I did so and checked it, because it kept force closing auto-open apps when the tablet booted, after the update those apps opened fine (titanium and rom toolbox). right after this, maybe about total 7 or 8 minutes after booting, the screen began flashing again as I was trying to uninstall the dead pixel app. eventually she timed her own finger jabs with the demon screen flicker and clicked OK to uninstall app. as it was uninstalling the screen started working fine. right after it was done uninstalling (bout 30 seconds), what do you know, the bloody ( i love that word) screen started being crackhead-ish again. Its turned off now. Does anyone have any prior experience with this issue? I will contact the razorclaw team to ask them if maybe its a side effect, but I just wanted to see if any of you folk knew anything about this. It IS a newer B70 model and I do have another 5 days to ship it for a return from the seller. I'm pretty sure I will unless I get a response with a sure fix for this being software or something. Also while I've got your attention, I'm under the impression I can boot to stock recovery to factory reset? hopefully at least.... and if I do so, please tell me this will remove root access?
Thanks much in advance for your answers, which I'm sure there will be some useful info as usual with XDA.

UPDATE: MY tablet won't turn on now.
Best option, return the defect peice..
Hey .. if you have 5 days to return to the shipper, go ahead and return the defect piece. My wild guess is that it has no connection to the software installed or rooted, its mostly an hardware issue (first of its kind though).
I have not faced any screen related issues with my B80 version...
Return this & Get Prime
Cheers,
Amrth
i do agree with the guy above,
write what hapend and return it, and in hope that they can fix it, if not u will get a brand new or the money back.
My TF101 works flaviously and it's something i wanted and even with custom rom its more better and funnier, so yeah, thats a hardware issue or some "wrong made tablet"
hey i have some problem with my galaxy s4 i9500, so here's the story : i've got some weird burn n reddish screen on my s4,, then i bring my s4 to the service center,, they had replace the screen for 4 times but still have that issue, then they say,, they going to replace the screen 1 more times but now with the mainboard. okay after 2weeks my s4 reddish screen fixed.
but now i have a new weird problem, everytime i try to unlock the phone ,, sometime it hangs ./ freeze,, and when i tap the power button or home button several times, it reboot itself. now im completely frustrated with my s4,, anyone have any tips to fix this lockscreen freezing? i already try to factory reset it and reinstall the firmware. anyone please help :crying:
Hi,
I believe after they changed your "mainboard" (which I'll understand is the motherboard) something went wrong, as you said you tried to factory reset and reinstall stock firmware and the problem still persists, I will recommend you taking it again to the Repair Center, try asking for another S4, I think it'll solve all your problems , when my Kindle had a battery I got a new one for free from Amazon, I guess you can try getting one S4 too from Samsung.

I bought the Tegra note 7 (XOLO India) yesterday and as soon as I switched it on I got the OTA update notification and updated it successfully to Android 5.1. From the time I booted into the new version I have been plagued by touchscreen issues, the tablet responds to touch for a while and then would stop responding but will respond to stylus and switching off the screen and switching it back on would make touch responsive for a few seconds and then again it becomes irresponsive and occasionally it doesn't respond to stylus as well, did a factory reset, rebooted it number of times and finally came across this forum.
Is this a faulty device or is there any hope for me, I bought this tablet to buy games and I can't play any of them as suddenly the touchscreen would go crazy and my character would die :crying:
As another user posted that it happens in his/her device with the flip cover, I don't have the flip cover at all.
Would rooting help, I was thinking of rooting the device and downgrading it, as there was a fix for touchscreen error posted for Android 4.4.2 but after I read that rooting voids warranty I decided to check with you guys before I did anything crazy.
Thank you in advance,
Solved?
To anyone who is facing the same problem and those who are interested, I followed the suggestions from this thread and calibrated my battery and the issue seemed to have completely gone. I put the tablet for charging once it was nearing 10% overnight and the next day unplugged it and started using it and the full ady even after heavy usage the problem never showed up, the screen is 100% touch responsive and the entire experience was 'buttery' smooth. There's one more thing that I did, I installed activitylauncher and set max performance in Nvcontrolpanel.
Hello,
I have bought this phone new from about 2 months ago. Everything was going smoothly but suddenly last week the phone began to reboot while I'm using it by itself. This happened for 2 days straight then it stopped also by itself. Then I noticed that my display screen isn't being covered completely. The curved screen is not fully used like if I'm using a straight display screen. Idk if this is a hardware or a software problem. Please advise if anyone has had this problem before.
Thanks.
Never had the problem, but your best bet is to try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'd exchange the phone.
