[HELP] Flickering lines on screen and shut down - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I've had this weird issue where horizontal lines appear on the screen and jump around for about a minute until the phone shuts down. After I start it again it's fine and it doesn't happen for weeks/months.
It's the I9301I model and is year and 1/2 old and is still in warranty but I don't know if this issue is covered and it's pretty rare so I don't know how to reproduce it. Should I be worried?
Edit: This is kinda how it looks like before it shuts down https://youtu.be/B0Y48wDuvJg?t=22s

Sell it
That's it
I face the same problem with mine

I think that your battery is bad. Change it. I had the same problem.

It's a battery problem, buy a new one

Unresponsive touch screen :(

The top part of my phone does not respond to touch anymore... it is impossible to bring down the notification bar... and once in a while the whole screen goes unresponsive.. tried factory reset but still the same problem..
am having the same problem since 2 days back

Do you have widgetlocker, by any chance ?
Or a lockscreen replacement which disable the notification bar during the "slide to unlock" state ?
I didn't know there was such thing as widgetlocker. I use CM7 latest nightly, never seen that thing.
I also facing this problem from last 2 weeks and i also think this is digitizer problem. If anyone else found the solution else changing the digitizer, then please post.
This is beautiful phone but htc added a poor quality things in it, due to which many users facing such problems.
Nah.. I dont think its because of widget locker.. its the digitizer..
well that's a shame, gotta buy a new digitizer on ebay after just over 1 year of use...
I know.. this sucks... Im planning to upgrade though.. Any of u guys have any suggestion?
Depends on your carrier if you want suggestions for an upgrade.
...but that would drive the post off-topic.

I have the same problem. my screen doesnt work anymore because some water got in from the grill above the screen :S
should I try to take apart and dry off or shall I buy a new digitizer directly?
I think it may be a good idea to try disconnecting your digitizer and reconnect it as it just might be helping. I did it on my girlfriends legend and it has been working perfectly ever since. Maybe a good idea to at least try that before buying a new one. So i guess it could be in the connector to? At least this worked for me.
My touch screen dosent work at times. but after rebooting the phone the problem becomes solved. But the problem comes again after a week or so. Any suggestions guys??

I also have this problem, but if I wait a couple of minutes the touchscreen
becomes responsive again. Half of the screen works when it's unresponsive (right half of the notification bar and down). It's quite annoying but I cannot afford a new phone at the moment.
I'm also wondering if this might be temperature related, this problem reoccurred very often during the summer but stopped during the winter. But now (spring) it's back again.
My problem got worse and the phone became totally unresponsive, changed it, got a new phone.

exact same problem here, mine works when it feels like working, totally random, I simply can't understand why, I doubt it's the temperature... I think its in the device theres something wrong, I smack it numerous time and it works right after a big smack on the screen, or rub your whole hands on the screen, also, the angle you are holding the phone affects this problem, if none of these work, a phone restart always makes it work at the beginning. Oh boy did my phone took and taking much beating... oh well, I wish I could permanatly fixed the problem here, as I was thinking of handing the phone to my brother when I upgrade, I'm using CM 6.1.
I still recommend the same thing that i posted earlier here, her screen still works perfect.
I had the same problem few months ago. The problem is with the touch digitizer. I bought a digitizer on ebay and replaced it myself. After that my phone has been working fine. Its not that hard to replace it if you have a small knowledge about hardware.
I use to get that unresponsive screen issue only in the summertime, plus it gets worse if I add humidity (read: sweat). I just need to give it some time then to dry off/ cool down outside my pocket, and it's all fine again.

Screen Flickering on edges

Hello,
So I got my Nexus 4 and it was all good for i think 40 whole hours, never left my desk and then i noticed a strange flickering of the screen, it was on all screen and everywhere, i put it to sleep still there upon awake. I restarted the phone and it was still there but less, and then i pushed soft on the edges and it went away..
Sucks, It took me many months to get this new phone stuff put behind me and now I don't know what I should do send this to google and get a refund ? What a gong show getting this thing, and then wait for months for a replacement ?

[Q] The worst galaxy S4 out of the box. Terrible video glitches. Need advise.

Hi guys, you cant imagine how sad i am. My sister was traveling from middle east and she bought me a present when she came back to my country. She was happy and gave me a brand new galaxy S4 I9500 Octa core international version. She said she was about to buy me an LG G2 but since i liked AMOLED so much she bought me an S4 i9500, so sad, now i regret for being an amoled fan.
Upon first boot, i noticed something was not right with the phone...the boot logo, the one that says samsung was jumping all over the screen from top to bottom. First i thought it was something with the boot but then things went really bad when it started to do the massive flickering while i was on the menu or running an app.
this is a video i took and i was able to record the most lasting glitch, all this flickering happens at random. There is no way to tell if it will do it or not, but happens multiple times during the day. For example i can play, watch an HD movie, i can use the phone normally without any problem for hours, then turn off the screen, turn it back on in some minutes and starts to glitch, or not glitch. It can or cannot happen, randomly, but happens.
Sometimes for example i turn the screen on, and stays black, i have to turn off the screen again and turn it on to make the graphics appear.
Sometimes for example i turn off the phone, after some minutes i turn it back on and the logo starts to move all over the screen for some seconds and stops and stays stable.
So practically i am out of warranty, the phone if from another continent. It says MADE IN INDIA on the back sticker, and came with android 4.3 and then it updated to 4.4.2 and same thing happens
I have to look on how to fix this on my own at the best price possible where i live.
The most dificult part of this is that i donĀ“t know if this issue is tied to:
1) A bad LCD / Amoled screen,
or
2) If it is tied to a bad chip in MAINBOARD on the phone.
replacing the mainboard is cheaper than replacing the LCD screen, but im not really sure what could be the issue. and i dont want to waste money buying a brand new mainboard, change it, and the phone keeps glitching because the mainboard was not the issue.

Did you try contacting Samsung in your country? Maybe they would fix it anyway.
My guess is that you have a faulty screen. What you could try is to see if all the connectors are properly attaced. Maybe it's a little bit loose.

[Q] screen flickering on automatic backlight

hey guys
for a long time i am having this issue with my screen.
it flickers sometimes, no pattern of times. but it does flickers almost all the time when i put it on automatic backlight, or if i set the brightness to lowest level, or 1-2 level more than lowest.
at first i thought the battery may be going bad, because i did have battery issues. but now that i have bought a new battery, it still happens.
i read that it might occur because of the s-view covers. but i have s-view covers for almost a year, and it only happens for about 3-4 months.
though i did buy a new s-view cover on august. could this be related? i think i did have flickering problems even earlier than august.
either way, i had removed the s-view cover from my phone, it does seem to flicker less. and weird thing, sometimes it just enters the s-view mode where all screen goes black except the window part... maybe the phone misses the cover
any way. what could be the problem? how can i solve it? maybe i should format the phone and install another rom? i have the latest Omega rom version right now.
thanks everybody.
anybody help?
no one?
I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" works like a charm by enabling backlight control...Just try it out with similar issues and post your review and thank me...Cheers...

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Overheated and now Pixel error

Hello togehter,
i have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I used it normaly was just on the internet as a green line appiered on the screen on the right side very close to the edge. It goes all the way up and down. I also noticed that my phone overheated heavy as this happened so i tured it off. After a moment i turned it on again but the problem is still there. There is still this small green line and the phone still gets hot. Now it is also rather hot today outside is there anything i could do to try to fix it?
Not sure what your green line looks like but this may prove helpful:

You'll have to RMA your phone. It's a hardware problem for sure. I had the same thing where the top portion of the phone heats up and eats battery like crazy whenever the screen is on. It would do this even in recovery mode.....which is the true test to see if it is your Android build or any software installed causing issues....at least with the heat anyway. The more it heated up, the more the lines appeared until the screen would either cut out for a moment or I'd get the over temp warning....even when not charging.
I agree with xmind2006, you should RMA it. I would not keep a device that heats up like that around. It could lead to most drastic device failures that you tend to read in the news.
I turned it on one more time yesterday and the screen went completly crazy directly. Going on and off, making random colors and so on. Im gonna bring it on Monday to the O2 Shop... Is this a common issue? Do you guys think i could ask them to get a fully new one directly? I dont want to wait weeks for them to repair... specially as i made my sim card smaller so it doesnt match my old phone anymore :X
