So i was scrolling through my facebook feed today and suddenly the left vertical half of the display started to flicker bright white. I was like #WTF is this? The right half went dark while the left was blinking randomly (once every 10 or 30 sec).
Reboot did not help; Called Google and told them about the issue.
I was told that this was the first of its kind issue reported and this needs to be investigated. :eek . As i was about to end the call the agent told me the replacement request is approved. :highfive:
This is my second 6P (first one had network connectivity issues) and I hope the third one doesn't give me any problems. This makes me doubt the Huawei build and hardware quality seriously, since many people have reported defective units being received.
These are the pictures of my defective device (32GB Aluminium):

Did you try a hard reset? Doubt it would help but you never know.

I just had the exact same problem right now. Any advice before I try to get a replacement?
A week after I bought mine a thin green line showed up on left edge. It got more noticeable with different colors. I sent it in and they fixed and sent it back....been fine ever since.

This also happened to me. It was a colored line vertical on the left side. It then changed to a very bright white line. I got the screen replaced out of pocket.

For the people with the broken displays, try this to recovery some data if you need it in the meantime of repair, or if you're replacing the device out of pocket etc.
1. Turn off your device
2. Boot to bootloader (hold Power + Volume Down), and wait a bit to be sure you're in the bootloader
2a. Flash twrp if you don't already have twrp
3. Scroll down to recovery - Two volume down clicks if nothing is visible
4. Hit the power button
5. Use the USB to USB C adapter that came with your phone, one side into your computer and one into your phone
6. Pull files FROM your phone to your computer if you have any important files
As for the stock firmware attempt after backing up important stuff
Steps 1-2 from above
3. Download the stock firmware of your choice
4. Flash stock, your choice to wipe userdata or not, instructions in the Sticky Thread
5. Press the power button on the bootloader after the device is done with the process from the fastboot side of things.

I have just received my new nexus 7 from Google Play Australia.
However, It does not work. I think Google sent me a dead device. No matter how I did to the power button, the device just won't power up. It shows me nothing but a lot of black and white lines.
I have taken a picture for the situation. Is there any help?

I don't know if you have UPS where you are at, but when I order a electronic device I will not let them send it via UPS, I don't know if its just me but it seems like they wind up breaking what ever I order,

Yeah, its dead, try holding down the volume DOWN and the power key for 10 seconds, then release the power key and keep the volume down key pressed, and it will force the unit to restart into the bootloader from any stage, its effectively like pushing the restart button on the front of a computer and constantly pressing the delete key to get into the bios.
if you can get into the boot loader, follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 I followed it myself to un-brick mine when I stuffed up the dpi change
if not then its busted and there is probably nothing you can do.
It looks like its attempting to display the black screen with the white android logo but the LCD panel is stuffed, IMHO.
they should mail out a replacement for you free of charge and that replacement will come with a postage voucher to send it back to them, probably looking at a week turn around.
off topic, mine was delivered by FedEx in Australia on Friday, boxed inside another box surrounded by bubble wrap, it was pretty well protected,the outside box has a little "cardboard rugby" damage but the unit is 100% A OK

Nope, they will send you a new one and then upon receiving that, you have 21 days to return the original.

Hey guys
I hope you can help me, after 4.3 update my nexus starts working weird, like it has been possessed, suddenly it start playing by itself the screen starts moving and open some applications by itself....it recovers when i press the powen buttom two times, so it get back to normal. But this problem has started continuesly apprearing, sometimes im texting and then the phone press some buttoms by itself....so weird.
At the beginning i though i had a virus so i downloaded avast but the problem was still there, then i though mm it might by the image.
So i unlocked the bootloader and then, flash image 4.3, seems the problem was resolved but after 30 min it was there again.
I though OK maybe 4.3 its the problem, i flashed 4.2 but it was worst.

Try an excorcism by doing a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore. if that doesn`t help reflash the factory image in fastboot.

Do you have a screen protector on your Nexus? Sometimes some of the cheaper ones can cause interference with touchscreens, making them do that. (Happened to my old Droid Milestone)

Sacrifice two ducks, a rat, and two hundred donkeys and start channeling your thoughts and summon tool guy "aka Satan"
In all seriousness did your phone get wet? And I mean that in a totally non sexual way....
Ouch it's really acts like possessed one, you need to call some priest (kidding) :silly:
If seriously, what version of android are you using? It is got wet, or it's just started suddenly to act like this?
You're not alone, well then again i did get a replacement lcd/digitizer so it could be a problem with that.
But without a doubt i'm getting the same symptoms as you, sometimes my screen touches itself and what not.
Power on/off does solve it too.
If possible enable show touch events under developer options that will help you track down if its touch events.
my N4 has recently started showing these signs without any specific reason, its not possessed but what i can understand is my device has got a horizontal strip in middle of screen which is non responsive to touch and the random touch events are tracked to that specific region only.
I have the same problem. I've got a brand new nexus 4 and its really jumpy and the best possible way to describe it is definitely possessed. Does anyone have any solutions or shall i just send it back and get it replaced?
Some days ago my Yota started to restart on its own. It happens once a day usually.
The biggest problem i noticed is that on the e ink screen now a white row is present and does not refresh anytime.
Firmware is 1.87a eu, original, not rooted. Anyone has experienced it? I hope there is a fix cause I do not have time to go to a support center and leave phone there to get fixed.

I bought my Yota about 2 weeks ago and firstly epd was completely fine then I noticed horizontal blank stripe few pixels wide that does not refresh. Then another one appeared, this time vertical and only 1px wide. Today I got third (next to the 2nd, also vertical).
I don't know the origin of those, as had 2 ebook readers before and never experienced such a thing. Wonder if it's a software issue or some failure with the device. Tried to Google it but it looks like it's not a common problem. Thinking of flashing the 1.99 rom - maybe it will help.

I am sure that this is a hardware problem. I have my third Yotaphone now (because I love the concept). One I got replaced because of the EPD showed some lines. Another one has a fine vertical line, another one a fine horizontal. They are on different software releases. one on Middle East, one on European SW. No difference. The places are very different. So, a hardware issue.

Hi! Yesterday I have got the same thing - dead horizontal stripe appeared on the e-ink screen. Please, give an answer, based on your experience - what will happen with the screen soon? Can the screen work for a long time in this condition, or is this a sigh of a soon total failure? Thanx 4 answer.

Based on my experience it should go on working as usual, but the stripe won't disappear. Speaking about it with a friend of mine, he told me that this is a common problem with all e-ink displays. So if it is still on warranty my suggestion is to send it to be fixed. If it is not, do not panic, should be fine, at least I hope. Mine goes on without any problem , exception made for the stripe.

Won't be fine, sorry to say that. There will be more and more lines until the screen will start to behave weird in total (inversion of colors, no refresh, not working yota mirror..). I'm 99% sure that's overheating problem and plan to open my Y2 to find out soon.
Had 3 other devices with eink screen before (2 nooks, 1 Motorola phone) and haven't seen this issue yet.
Better use your warranty before it is too late.
I purchased my Yotaphone 2 in June 2015, in August 2016 a horizontal line appeared about 1cm down from the top of the screen, then about a week ago a short vertical line appeared, just off centre going from the top of the screen down about 2cm. I asked yotaphone and they said to take it to their service centre but this isn't very convenient for me. I am hopeful it won't get worse! Interesting to see other's experiences, it is clearly a common problem!
<<edit>> The two dead lines are 1 pixel wide, the horizontal one is light grey in colour, the vertical one is white.
Three days passed, second line is dead.
It's about 1 mm from first one.
No warranty, unfortunately... Screen replacement costs abous 120 USD. I'm sad
Ok, so I opened my Yotaphone to find out what's causing the dead rows:

Thanks for photos! My horisontal rows are at the same place as yours. Furthermore, this situation is very and very common, many people have rows at the same positions.
If it is not hard to remove the screen, we can replace them ourselves: my idea is to order new screen from China, it costs about 60 USD there (at AliExpress).
The bad thing is that the new screen can be also defective.
Please explain how you removed the grille at the bottom of the device.
it's simply glued, all you need is to get some pincers and pull carefully. You can follow this guide:

To your mind, is it possible to change only the display without replacing the glass? Now it is very easy to buy used phone with a broken rear glass, but the working e-inc display.
the epd screen is embedded in the plastic case below the glass, if I wanted to disassemble it I'd have to rip the poor thing apart
Hello everyone,
Just to let you know that a recent french buyer (that's me) of an YD201 discovered after 3 days of use 3 lines out of order... the very same place...
I'm dealing with the seller efoxtienda.com to get a solution. I paid with Paypal in order to benefit from protection...
For now on, the lines are 1 pixel wide... so that's not a real matter... but I don't want to wait till it gets worse.
I will share the issue of the negociations.
Enjoy.
I ordered one from GearBest (Y201) and I really hope that it is without hardware issues.

Dont forget to make a video of unpacking...
Because of the EPD, my phone is getting worse:
-it very rarely refreshes itself, and if it does then looks like above..
-the battery drain is terrible (50% loss in about 2 hours, mostly screen off)
-the heat of the previously mentioned capacitors gets scary
-phone reboots itself once a while
I've decided to disconnect the EPD (almost) completely and see what happens:
Digitizer (1) and EPD (2) are disconnected now, but there's some link at (3) and can't be unplugged. Not sure what it does.
Beside physical changes, I used Titanium Backup to freeze all EPD apps I've found (altogether was 39 apps) - especially Organizer and Counters were stopping themselves just after the reboot, very annoying. Will give you info about how it works in several days, as for now the only difference is around 2sec delay* between pressing the power button and turning on/off the screen.
PS. The good news is that, now I don't care about destroying the EPD, so perhaps after new year will have some fun with capacitor replacement
(*)EDIT: It's good now, just don't freeze Back Screen Manager app
I do not understand about (3)...
How can I change the screen if (3) can not be unplugged?
PS How much time has passed since the first row appeared?

Sorry, my bad - I took another look at the Y2 disassembly video - (3) can be disconnected, although it looks like soldered to the mainboard. Didn't try.

Open a ticket with Samsung and send it in for a screen replacement. if there is no water damage or physical damage they will fix it for free under warranty.
I have this green issue with flickering lines...
Warranty expired...

Are any of ypu rooted s8 u model. This is a byproduct of the combination bootloader used for rooting
Green Screen of Death
Very sorry to hear about it
While my S8 was messed up, my sisters s7 Edge had the exact same problem...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77189854&postcount=16
Now slowly, the green screen would start to flicker at times and lo one day, it would turn into a pale green light. You wont be able to do anything with the phone.
My IMMEDIATE ADVICE ...
TAKE a COMPLETE BACKUP of your data as soon as you read this message.
Secondly
Try turning the Blue Light filter off, Change the saturation of the phone and see if you are still seeing the green shade,
Send this device to service center.
EDIT :- Just now noticed the OP's date is almost a year old.
I got a same issue too today ****sung!
Is there a fix ? i dont wanna pay 250$ to replace the screen.it works well in full brightness
i got the same green screen on galaxy s8+ today after using it for 2 years i had custom kernel with hari rom, the phone is usable in full brightness, it has green overlay with horizontal line flickering over it i think this a motherboard issue, have your issue resolved ? what you did? i am thinking to change board and see
I have fixed my phone twice with this problem. You need to heat up the screen. Full brightness then record video for an hour. You should see the greenness recede. If there are green lines st the bottom which don't disappear, use a hairdryer on the screen. You will see the green vanish in 30seconds. When the phone cools, it will come back. You need to keep regularly reheating your screen to get rid of it, like every 20 minutes for a day or, 2. Eventually it will clear up. It's a pixel what issue. Heating the screen repeatedly restores functionality, after least in my case.

It is correct that it works in full brightness. Turn off the adaptive brightness and voila you can continue to work with full brightness. However, you can also reduce your
pixel to full HD from QHD to continue in this mode. I have been working on this for last few days else the ****sung care only want's to replace the screen combo .
Will try the heating methodology. I have doubts about battery also and planning to change and see.
Same issue just popped up today for me. Rooted nougat ROM with safestrap. It's definitely not the screen itself, and it's behavior is Sunday strange, it'll show up on webpages or other screens that are mostly white, but not on the dark mode applications.
so it's green on this thread and it gets less green when I open Chrome's settings on the top right.
Reboot fixes it. Until it comes back again.
Started to face this green tint issue on my S8 recently, the phone worked well for the past two years until suddenly one day this green **** happened. Never dropped the phone and never rooted it. For now rebooting the phone solves the issue, until it comes back. Till now it happened 5-6 times in a week. Rebooting fixes it and then it runs normally for sometime (or somedays) then it happens again.
Any solution?
Apparently it is a software problem, something about some screens batch that does not received well those new patches. i took my s8 g950fd at a Samsung authorized store and is was what they told me, but they don't fix it for free if it is not on warranty even though it is a Samsung software problem. I have tried to root and change roms, but it seems my cellphone does not accept root or new roms. if some one know how to help me id be grateful.
my screen has green after unlock bootloader. i didn´t anything, so im tired :/
Sounds like a firmware bug* on at least some of these. Samsung tech support sucks elephant balls bad. Obviously Samsung is well aware of this issue by now.
*during a production run Samsung will substitute smaller chipsets and components as needed. This can cause erratic firmware/update behavior as the substituted components don't have the correct values and/or code. If so you're in a fubar because Samsung is unlikely to supply the needed patch at this late date.
You can try flashing the original firmware, be wary of updates. It could be a system apk update as well.
It could also be a hardware failure on a whole batch(es) of these phones.
started having this problem suddenly now, didn't drop it, didn't do any updates. wow!

Install or uninstall -any- software lately?
hi there, I just replaced my screen for the umpteenth time but, on this occasion, it hasn't "taken". The old screen is totally obliterated, smashed display, but it still takes power and behaves as it should (lights up on disconnection of usb charger, for example). The new screen? Not so much. It does actually work, it shows the picture fine, but it only shows it for a fraction of a second then blinks off. When I press the power button again it does nothing, as it thinks I'm turning the phone off, then when I press it again the screen comes back on for a half a second or so and same issue. Have checked all connections, all fine, have swapped in the old screen to confirm it behaves as it should, all fine.
I'm wondering, could this be some kind of gpu/driver issue? Or has anyone experienced this before with a replacement screen and it's just a "dud"? Absolute downer as I've been waiting for it for a month or so and literally can't afford to buy another one at the moment, really bad year

I had a similar problem due to display incompatibility.
I have the phone marked FHD-D on the cable and the new display was FHD-A.
Or, the new display is not original...

Thanks for your reply and yeah, I'm figuring this is what is happening. However, the cable/screen are all one piece and were bought together, so is it possible they'd mismatch the cable to the screen themselves? idk, anyway, I've opened a dispute and have now been told that I'm stupid and that I have installed the screen incorrectly and not connected the battery (absolute gibberish).
I made a couple of videos for them, idk, have a look and see what you reckon but, indeed, to me this looks like straight up incompatibility as the screen isn't being driven properly by the phone (and, as you can see, the old busted screen behaves correctly)
Video of old/broken screen showing correct power response and on/off behaviour:

Here is the video of"new" screen which is clearly not correctly supported

Well hopefully I can get a refund for the part and get another. Can't even afford to order another at the moment until I get the refund :/ Lost my business last year due to covid and don't have access to state benefits or the like, so have just been trying to keep the head above water for the last year and a bit, so believe it or not something like this is a big expenditure for me these days :/

The original screen is "Boe" (see screenshot), this can be verified via the "Device Info HW" application.
Too bad the phone won't start and it can't be verified...

Yeah, it's a pain, I guess the display is just not going to work and I'll have to somehow get another - hopefully I can get the refund okay as those videos show it clearly doesn't work! The phone does actually start up, everything is going on fine aside from the screen. As I have to press on/off several times to get the screen to flicker, I don't have time to put in the unlock code and get into any menus, and then when it goes off I'm back to jockeying the button until it lights up again, at which point of course it's returning from a standby state so it's going back to the code input. BAH!
hello how are you 1 month ago I bought the second-hand mate 10 lite with the crashed but functional screen and I decided to buy a screen since the one I brought stopped working the touch screen everything was fine in the installation but the same thing happened to me as you understand normal but the screen does not work when the device is finished charging and putting the pattern turns on the screen and also that when I make a gesture it does not work I have to press a little hard and I realized that the screen came out a slight defect and I cannot request a refund since remove the security seals when installing it in your case if it came out with a major manufacturing defect
Note 2020 just look at the date of your post and still comment hehe greetings from Mexico
