Weird Screen Glitching - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Just got an S7 Edge off Ebay noticed weird glitching with 5 apps in this folder when I went to 6 it went away sometimes I see it briefly in apps too. Im thinking its a software bug but the glitching pixels are always same place and none of the screen tests I tried replicated it. Any idea thanks? Using software screen capture or record same phone didnt show the glitch only appears when recording on separate phone https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxgsbWGgl3x_NGtjUU9NaVFfS2M/view?usp=drivesdk

Video quality in Google Talk

I bought this tab for the screen and ability to use the built in front facing cam for video chat with my wife and kids while I'm away for 5 months but while testing it out I've noticed the video quality is crap over google talk from my end. My wife's cam looks great. Is there anything I can do to improve the quality. Currently we are testing it over the same wifi connection.

I downloaded the windows app and the android one and it works great. I use this for work to call my clients.

interesting, i had the opposite effect, my camera looked fine but there camera look pix-elated, I assumed that there camera was the one with the problem.
I had an even different issue. Video and audio was about expected given the connection I had. However, the video of me slowly turned to 45 degrees during the chat. I saw it in the lower right of my screen when my dad told me. I restarted the tab but still it persisted. Anyone see this??
Strangely....

The wonderful, trusty 'cloud' must be down...I think it started raining......LOL
Thanks anyway - will try it in a day or two when the cloud is up!
@piperp
This happened to me. There was a slide bar right above the picture of me while using gtak on the tab. If u slide it all the way one direction, right i believe, then it goes back to normal
@shawnwojcik
I thought the slider controlled a zoom level of the camera facing me. At least that's the effect I noticed when I tried it. The tilting picture started when I tried moving the tab to show them something next to me. It really made things worse. I honestly can't remember if I had the lock on the screen auto-turning turned on. I disabled it once this weekend for some reason and may have left it off which caused the problem.
In either case, next time I'll try your suggestion but that's a problem that needs to be fixed because it's really quite awful. Even after a restart of the tab it starts again.

My brief experience suggested the slider both zooms and enables some kind of facial recognition, so when you move, the background instead moves and your face stays central. This can lead to blacked out areas depending on your position in the frame, as well as a tilting background. It's also a bit buggy i found...

[Q] Nexus 4 Ghost touches

So I bought a used N4 sold as is because the seller said he had some issues with the ROM and the touch sensitivity and all it needed was a stock ROM flash. I took up the challenge and flashed stock 4.4.4.
While I'm at the home screen everything's fine, as soon as opened the app drawer there were random touches all over the bottom half of the screen. Some were shown in the center and many at the bottom left corner but most were just random. I mean like 7-8 touches per second. The same happened whenever I went into play store, Opera or Chrome. Didn't test it further since I decided to try another rom.
Flashed Purity ROM and at first glance it worked flawlessly. Not random touches in home screen, app drawer or settings. Then I flash Gapps and the same thing happens with Play and Opera.
The funny thing is that the problem persists but at different circumstances. Can't pinpoint the exact cause. Should I get a new screen and try? Or maybe something else is at fault there?
I've been having the exact same problem as you. It started after I replaced the screen and the usb flex.
Ghost touches 1-2 each second only on some apps (none on homescreen or settings). I noticed that it happen in 4.4.4 app drawer but not in the 4.2.2 app drawer. I got almost no ghost touches on 4.2.2 messaging app also. It happens in almost any app, like play store, dropbox,chrome....
I thought it was the battery so I replaced it, but it did not fix it.
I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem but I ran out of theories. I wish the best luck to find the solution, as I almost gave up on it. If you happen to solve it tell me.
I think i found out what's causing this issue.
My theory was that apps with a lot of white would trigger the ghost touches. So I tested with flashlight screen apps that only show white on the screen. As expected the ghost touches only started to appear when i turned the flashlight on.
Therefore my theory was correct.
In my case I will contact the seller that sold me the screen to see if I can get a replacement.
I've had the intermittent touch screen issue, just above the capacitive buttons and also the ghost touches.
Started about 2+ weeks ago.
I reverted back to the stock "HOME" launcher instead of the Google Now launcher and that seemed to have fixed the issue.
I will have to keep an eye out to see if it lasts.

Hi everyone. this is my first post. i may make some grammar mistakes, because english is not my native language.
I found a solution for the ghost touch issue on my nexus 4, so maybe it can help who is having the same problem.
1- Download and instal the NOMone Resolution Changer on Play store
(this is my first post here, so i cant paste de link here, but you will not have trouble to find it)
2- when asked, Allow superuser
3- open the app and change the height resolution to 1250. (it worked for me, but make some tests to see if you need to disable a bigger part of the screen to avoid de problem)
This is not the best way to keep using your phone, because you may lost a part of the usable screen, but worked for me.
Thanks!
I workaround this issue avoid using undervoling in the kernel, and avoid lower temperatures in phone, yes as you read ... this issue give my crazy when my phone was to hot and I tried to cold my phone using one ice cube in screen and back, the temperature of the phone down but ghost touches appears again, so played some videos to warm the phone again and dissapear again.
Don't ask me about how it works, or relation with screen, digitizer or battery, I don't understand but help me to workaround the issue.

Phone freeze/crash

So I was watching a video on YouTube today (an s7 edge teardown video ironically) when all the sudden the picture froze and the phone started making a loud buzzing noise and was unresponsive to touch. I held the power down and the phone reset. Upon rebooting the phone was majorly lagging and struggled to catch up with any input commands. It finally smoothed itself out and seems fully recovered from the freeze up/crash now but my question is has anyone else experienced or heared of this on this device or any ideas as to what may have caused it?
Just happened to me watching a video on Facebook anyone have any answers yet s7 edge 32gb gold
I noticed something whaky when watching YouTube videos but I had read it had to do with the 1440p resolution... So I changed it to 1080p and it's been fine since... Maybe the app needs an update.
I'm on Verizon with an S7, but fwiw, mine just crashed as I was watching *cough*...a certain type of video... in chrome incognito.
Anyway, I tried everything, but only managed to get a few sounds and vibrations out of the device for 5 minutes. Then the camera flashlight turned and stayed on for about 10 minutes, but the sounds and all other responsiveness ceased. Finally about 15 minutes later, some button mashing somehow got me into maintenance boot mode, where I went into safe mode and rebooted from there. Everything seems to be normal again though. Incredibly strange. I've only had it for 3 days and not even changed much from stock yet.

The same exact thing happened to me with buzzing sound while watching YouTube. But mine automatically restarted. I'm thinking of returning this phone
I exprienced this problem today while watching youtube. The phone freezed and I had to reset it. Does anyone know what might have cause this?+
This happened to me when setting up Samsung Pay. Had to hard boot.

Same thing happened to me while watching YouTube as well on my s7 edge. I'm concerned.
I had the same problem. I cleared the cache and it's working fine now.
Had the same problem watching a YouTube video days ago. Hasn't happened since thankfully.
Did you guys disable a bunch of apps in the system?
were any of you using the phone in a case. I noticed that I was listening to streaming radio ( on lte) and playing candy crush and twice the phone crashed and rebooted. I noticed the phone was very hot. I do have a case and I havent tried it without the case to see if I could replicate the issue.
I have been having random freeze and reboots a least 3-4 times a day. Hoping a software update fixes it
This also happend to me only while watching youtube thankfully I was at home and not out in public nowhere bc the loud sound was so loud it was kinda scary. This has happend to me twice so far and idk if it has anything to do with it but I was using a custom theme both times. And using stock theme it has never happend.
Have ANY of you guys tried to wipe your cache from recovery settings? In having horrid battery life so I did this and it took away some lag I was having. Hopefully makes my battery life better

my phone completely crashed during the new update! Tmobile is sending me a new phone
Me too when I was watching youtube
At launch my phone was working fine. Up until the last update (not the latest July 8th one) and after my phone would crash constantly. It only crashed once during a YouTube video. But crashes in any another things I'm doing.
The sound cuts out too, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the wwe supercard game I play or not 99% happens when I'm playing that game. But it has happened in other apps. The keyboard stops making sounds, YouTube or Facebook video wouldn't play audio. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes I gotta reboot it.
I just downloaded and installed the latest July 8th update today, and so far no issues. But I'll report back if any things fixed or not.
I had the same problem right after i got mine.. not a good video but was it like this? They replaced mine new one doesn't do it....
on youtube I posted a video of mine...samsung S7 edge youtube landscape video problem...( I cant post a link but you can search for it)
Wow. I thought I was the only one. Was watching a Facebook video. And made a loud hissing sound. I was scared

Screen issues LG V20 HD990N

I recently got my new V20. Upon using it for the first time i noticed that the screen starts flickering quite severely when using the camera app and later when using other apps. It seems that my secondary screen pops up on the bottom of the screen causing it the main screen to shift up or something like that. Is this a know issue and can it be fixed?

Thats not a known issue. You have a defective phone. Get it replaced

Samsung S10+ One UI has lots of bugs

Anyone experiencing this?
The bugs that I faced so far:
- waze not responding after switching between apps. Once not responding, I have to close waze completely then open it again but I might need to wait few mins before it would start correctly
- just today the camera suddenly not responding. I have tried to close the apps but it would still shows blank screen. Then I restart the device then it was back to normal
- game rise of civilization would gave blank white screen from time to time after switching apps
- system UI not responding
I was coming from iOS, then change to vivo v9 before I use Samsung.
While the screen and design is a beauty, but even vivo had no bugs like Samsung.
Anyone face similar issues? Anyone know how to overcome this?

Never noticed such bugs on my device. Don't know about the game though because I didn't try it. Are you rooted ? or using some theming apps like Substratum ? You should try booting your phone in safe mode first to see if some app is causing problems. Last time when my Samsung phone's UI stopped working, the culprit was wrong theme applied from Substratum. So, check it first in safe mode, and if it still occurs in safe mode, do a factory reset or flash stock firmware using odin.
I have had none of those bugs.
Never experienced any of those "bugs" either.
Also, No bugs here...

No bugs here. Not even in beta versions using s8 ans s9. I suggest factory reset. Maybe download the latest odin firmware for your carrier and install that. This is the first thread i've seen with people having multiple concerns with One UI bugs.
The only bug I am getting is with the Spotify app. Ever since installing Galaxy Wearables and using Galaxy ear buds the Spotify app is really flakey. It hangs a lot of the time and I have to restart the device to get it to work. Has anyone else had this happen on their S10 plus?
Did not face any of those bugs at all
And did not try this game
No bugs here
I have a lot of apps on my phone, some since honeycomb and no problems either.
My 975U1 has been rock solid from day 1.
No bugs on my phone. But there are plenty roaches in my workplace
No bugs here.
No bugs. This is the least buggy phone I have ever had. No complaints. Coming from pixels and 6t
Not rooted... I will try the safe mode suggestion though...

Spotify works fine for me. On the phone and on Android Auto. Either uninstall and reinstall or go to apps settings and clear cache and data. Settings/Apps/Spotify/storage/ Clear cache then clear data buttons. Restart and try it out again.
