Power and volume buttons are working, led as well, but nothing in screen.
I went to bed with "night clock" activated.
The phobe didn't fall

Any help will welcomed

Shut down your phone:
Hold volume up + volume down + power (5 - 10 sec) ...repeat this to be sure that the phone is turned off
Afterwards, turn the phone on. If this does not work, the problem has to be severe I suppose.

It happened to me, screen suddenly turned black after showing purple streaks across the screen. Heard similar cases from others with the S7 Edge. Phone still rang when called, notification lights and capacitive buttons still lit up. I took it to a local service center, they diagnosed the problem as a "display fault" (they tapped on the screen a few times, don't know how reliable of a diagnosis that is). Since I bought it less than a week ago, it was eligible for a replacement. So the guys at the place gave me two options: I could get a new phone or they could fix the screen for me (free if you have the little gold card). Didn't want to waste the warranty so I got a replacement.
See if you can get a replacement, don't get it fixed, not worth your warranty (if you just bought it). New device is all good and well, no screen issues so far. Good luck.
Also perform a quick factory reset. Go into the recovery mode through vol. up + home + power (or something; can't really remember) and feel around the menu and factory reset, even if you can't see the screen. That is if you are really paranoid about your data.

Totally different thing. That's just download mode which alone will do nothing.
Please try the volume up and down method and report back.

I have the same problem. On Saturday morning I wake up, unplug my charger, open a game..... Everything seem normal. But after I start playing the game for a few second my phone blackout and shut off. At first I think it maybe a infamous black screen of death but the thing is... It doesn't seem to be the same case because after that I force a reboot the bootlogo came up normally for a few seconds then it start to flicker and show a messed up multicolor noisy screen(only once) then it go back to flickering at boot screen then stop flickering at the lock screen a few seconds then start flickering again then dies. I force reboot the phone for a few time until the screen show no output at all(black screen) but somehow the phone manage to boot up and stay on. The touchscreen still work! I can enter my pin. I can open camera and blindly take a photo by touching the screen. The phone still ring when there are incoming call and I can blindly accept the call by swipe the screen.
In conclusion everything else work fine except the screen output.
I took the phone to samsung service center and they diagnose it as the dead screen and will replace the screen under warranty but I need to wait for the part for 1-2 days
The thing is I'm not totally convinced that the screen is dead. what I mean is that when the screen stop flicker the screen color and image looked fine and the multicolor noisy screen at bootup look similar to when my S4 gpu crash when I undervolt it too much. Also the touchscreen is still working! So I think it might be that the gpu is the one that is dying but these might not be true, it's just my hypothesis.
Now I will just wait and see whether screen replacement solve the problem.
I hope it's not the design/engineering flaw though or else it might just dies again in the near future.

Hello
I have just received my Galaxy SIII after a long long wait and have a slight issue.
Sometimes, the capacitive menu button activates every 10 seconds or so and when this happens the menu and back button are unresponsive until I lock the phone. Once unlocked it seems fine again.
I have reset the phone as it first happened on first boot and seemed OK all last night until my first use with it this morning it did the same. Again after turning the screen off then on again (not a restart) it works fine.
Any ideas if this is a hardware or software issue? Has anyone else had this problem? I have searched but couldn't see anything.
Many Thanks
Russell
Definitely a hardware issue with the touchscreen digitizer. You should return that phone as soon as possible.

Hey
I had my Nexus 4 for a while now and today suddenly I have a problem with my touchscreen. It suddenly happend, it didn't fall or nothing.
So, the problem: there is a part of the screen that doesn't function properly. It's at a certain y value or height. It noticed this today when I wanted to swipe down the notification bar. Half the time it flips back up or doesn't do anything at all, sometimes it does work. If I swipe "fast" before that height, it usually works.
I downloaded an app to test the touchscreen and at that height it registers 2 or more fingers or it snaps above or under that line.
Can I fix this or do I need to bring it back for warranty? Is this a software or hardware issue? I also did a reset, but that didn't help...
I uploaded some videos to illustrate (can't post links so insert this in the youtube links please):
1. The problem: /watch?v=kNLbSU0smcw
2. Test: /watch?v=B8ERuBtYeBA
Edit: When I hold the phone horizontally, the notification bar works perfectly.
Many thanks,
Aaron
Update: from yesterday until now the screen was even worse, like I was touching it with 100 fingers, it went totally crazy...
A few hours later it works perfectly normal again
Any ideas?
Ok, I still have this problem...
However, the problem is present and I switch a few time to the lockscreen and back, it's fixed most the time. So I think this must be a software issue.
Maybe undoing a few updates might help? What's the best way to do that?
Are you on a Custom ROM / Kernel? If so, go back to stock ROM and Kernel and see if the problem still exists.
No, never used other roms, kernels or rooted..

I have the exact same issue.. Did you manage to solve it?
Nope, but sometimes I can use it like a week with no problem and sometimes I have it everyday.
At first I thought it might be because of the low temperature in my bedroom, but I tested it and I don't think that's the reason. I removed the cover I bought too, but I need to use it a bit longer to be sure it doesn't happen without cover. After that I'll put on the cover again and check again.
Is it possible that it happens when it is charging? Mine does this when it is charging.
No, as far as I know it's not affected by charging. The first time I had this problem I just picked it up from my desk..
I had touch screen issues as well, less than one month after getting the phone.
Occasionally, after pressing the power button to power up the display, the touch screen would not be responsive. I need to turn off/turn on the display again for it to work. It finally conked out one day when the entire part used for soft keys doesn't work anymore. Just an instant before this happened the touch screen started acting crazy for a few seconds.
Had the touch screen and LCD replaced under warranty.
The problem now is there's a bright white blob in the upper right corner of the LCD, and the proximity sensor sometimes doesn't work, resulting in no display when making or receiving a call.

Yeah, turning the display on/off a few times (so lock/unlock) helps sometimes. The warranty is a bit of a problem here, I bought it in Germany (MediaMarkt), but I live in Belgium. I tried registering at the LG site (Belgian version), but no option to select a Nexus 4 there for support... I did a live chat at the LG site, explained my problem and the helpdesk guy just left the chat I tried to contact them using Twitter, but they never replied. I asked MediaMarkt and they said I'd have to bring it in the a German MediaMarkt... It's a long way to Germany, so I'd rather not do that unless I can't solve it and they reject the warranty in Belgium (although they are obliged to).
I'm also worried that I'd get an even worse phone, like the problems you have with your new phone :s

Ok..I have a RaZr and this happened to me too. One fine day. Playing a game. In the middle of nowhere. I was scared. S*it scared. So what did i do?
I just did a soft reboot. Pressing the right combination of keys and the phone reboots.
Also, here is a very long drawn attempt, but can u try doing a wipe data/dalvik/cache?
Go into stock recovery and do the rest.
It may help, it may not help.
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA while doing this.
And oh: I am sorry but I think this is a hardware issue. I may be wrong.
I had the same issue with my EVO LTE. It would go away and come back just like yours. It wasn't a software problem , so I sent it in under warranty and they're fixing it free of charge.

Hi i have still a problem with my nexus 4. Before i installed the Android 4.2.2 i had a problem that my screen wont go to landscape. I just installed Android 4.2.2 stock and now it go's to landscape but wont go back?! I have made a video where you can see the problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRPhAA_Hiog
Does anyone know how i can fix this? My back glass is broken, i think that should not have caused the problem?
Download Android Sensor Box and try Orientation and Gyroscope sensor. Tell us if it's working.

Thanks for you reply. When i do the accelerometer test the steel ball falls down and wont come off, when i turn my phone upside down it falls to other side. When i use the orientation sensor the bottom 2 bubbles float on top.
It looks like i have to calibrate the sensor but cant find the options in 4.2.2.
After searching a bit on Google, here's what I found:
- Shutdown your phone, put it on a desk or stable surface. Turn it on and don't move it until you at least get to the lock screen.
If it's not working, you could try a factory reset but you shouldn't do it until someone confirm.
But it seems that it's hardware related, so well I don't know very well the subject.
Not sure as I never had a problem like this. Hope this will work

Thanks for your reply! It works a little bit better now! It's a little bit more difficult to get the phone in landscape now. But i goes back now! Haha strange behaviour of my phone. Where did you find this "fix"?

Glad that it worked!

My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).
I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

The easiest way is plugging the usb cable (which is connected to your computer) to your phone while holding volume down button. No need to press power button. From download mode you can boot to recovery etc with the help of your pc.

did not work
This sounds more and more like a case for Yota's repair center. If there wasn't something broken in the device one of these methods described in this thread should have worked.
Sounds like hardware to me.
I had the same issue. Left it on the table with the e-ink screen on top, came back hours later, the clock was 90 minutes behind and the phone dead. Resetting with 10 Seconds ON/OFF button didn´t work. Had to send it in. 2 weeks later got it back. They said they had to change the whole motherboard, even got a new IMEI with it. Then a few days later I tried the main camera and it did not work, error message by Android, unaccessible camera... Then by pressure on the camera it worked sometimes, sometimes only misty lines, sometimes splitscreen mode, sometimes not. Maybe a mistake by the service while reassembling the phone? Anyway, had to send it in AGAIN, got it back, sold it on ebay with 130 Euros loss and bought a new white one because I love the principle and options of the second screen so much. The white one is a newer batch, they say with some new (and probably more reliable?) hardware, so up until now I am completely satisfied, no error for 6 weeks (fingers crossed...)
My old black one was maybe a monday batch

Anyway, had to send it in AGAIN, got it back, sold it on ebay with 130 Euros loss and bought a new white one because I love the principle and options of the second screen so much. The white one is a newer batch, they say with some new (and probably more reliable?) hardware, so up until now I am completely satisfied, no error for 6 weeks (fingers crossed...)
My old black one was maybe a monday batch

Hi Petra. Since you're using a Yotaphone as well, could I ask you to do a small favour for me please? After I had my YP rooted I accidentally deleted the system app "back screen manager". My back screen has stopped working since then. It'd be fantastic if you could just extract the system app from your phone and send it to me so that I can manually place the system app on my phone root folder. You don't have to root your phone for this. All you need is an App extractor from play store. And it will take less than 5 mins to extract and send it to me(Assuming that you are well versed with android OS). Here's my email address [email protected] or you could send me a link to the shared file. Do let me know if you are willing or not. Thanks a ton.
