S7 Edge freeze/crash - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi everyone.
I am having a big problem with my phone, and since I messed up my warranty by rooting my phone, I am gonna try to find help here, and I really hope someone knows how to fix this issue.
So I got my S7 Edge this summer straight out of the box and it was working perfect. A couple of months after that it started freezing and restarting once every week or so, but I didnt think much of it. Slowly it was doing that more and more, until the point where the screen would freeze and the phone would restart 5 times a day. Shortly after it got stuck in a bootloop. I went to the store I bought it from but since a had a small scratch on the screen they wouldnt repair it without me paying for the screen change. Since it was a lot of money I tried to repair my phone at home by rooting my phone and installing a stock firmware. That didnt work so I installed a custom rom, that worked for a day but then it got back in the bootloop. Now I cant even be in TWRP without it freezing and restarting. My question to you guys is, has anyone had this issue (I hope not because its the worst) and is there any chance I could fix this myself?
I found this picture on google that resembles how my phone looks when it freezes/crashes. It gets these small pixel on the screen, not on the whole screen like in this picture, just on parts of the screen and on different parts everytime.

I have exactly the same problem. I think is somehow power related. Happens more frequently when phone is plugged in or when there's an increase in power consumption...

Is there a fix for it? I am having the same problem.

I found out that is the EMMC and the only fix is motherboard replacement... SAD

I guess you are right since the crashes were more frequent when I had a memory card in the slot. I thought that maybe my memory card was incompatible. But the eMMC seems to be the problem

[Q] Hd2 having seizures!!!

Hello,
I've had my hd2 for about 6 months now and about a month ago it started randomly crashing. I'd have to take the battery out and reset, but when i'd start about 1 out of ever 4 times it would show the inital launch screen, but the numbers in the bottom left would never come. So i'd have to remove the battery again and reboot.
Then it started happening more frequently. Random restarts, crashes, and the phone didnt like to boot at all most of the time.
Last night, it gets really bad and i am able to get into the phone once. After that it freezes always when you initially power on, you see the boot splash, but no numbers in the bottom left, no moving forward.
AND NOW when i power on, the screen stays black, and it just vibrates and will not stop at all unless i remove battery. In fact, as soon as i pop the battery in, it starts doing this.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try doing a HARD RESET.
If that does not help it means you have a damaged HD2 motherboard, try contacting T-Mobile or HTC for a replacement.
I'm 100% sure it is a heat problem. I do have the same problem. With my HD2 disassembled I checked that "freezing" the motherboard make my phone boot without a problem... and it worked properly as long as it stayed cool.
I'm trying to replace the motherboard by myself as I do not live within the USA...
Hope it helps.
Same exact problem here, although it happens less often for me. How do we keep the motherboard "cool" so it won't happen? or is this a sign of motherboard going bad soon and it'll be replaced sooner or later??
I think it is a sign of a dying phone... or at least a dying motherboard.
Maybe (just a theory) these are signs of a "cold joint" similar to what happens to the Xbox 360... and the way to fix it is to "reflow" the motherboard... but we need a more technical point of view on this one...
Thanks for the replies. I have tried the hard reset, but it just vibrates with the screen off still, no success in any attempts to do anything. I guess i will have to contact htc since i did not purchase the phone from tmobile.
I did notice before this happened that the phone was getting hot after even a few minutes of use. So i have to assume it is a damaged motherboard or whatever it is inside of my precious hd2 that makes it bring me joy.
Now i am joyless and sad.
Back to the old 2g iphone
*cries*

[Q] WTF SO MAD. Physically cannot insert Sim card into my P8600 that I got TODAY.

I've taken it in and out a few times without any issues. I've been rooting etc. today so i decided that ill keep the sim in my phone while i get things situated. So, I get things situated, and apparently I've broken it. I don't think its my fault at all... the Sim card just simply will not click into the device. I'm pretty sure its because the mechanism is in "SD Card Inserted" mode, but i have NO IDEA how to fix this. I might just send this back and not get a tablet.
Can anyone help me out/give advice.
edit: NOTE: Yes, I have checked to see if im inserting in the correct orientation. I even checked verizons website for a photo simulation.
The pins on the 7.7 are EXTREMELY sensitive. The same thing happened to mine. I ended up setting up an RMA however I just got an email today from Negri telling me that the unit is considered "damaged" and they will not honor the RMA.
I believe this is a design flaw as there is no reason that normal use with a SIM card should cause this sort of damage.
Has this happened to anyone else? We need to make sure that Samsung is aware of the issue.
I believe majority of us here would recommend you taking it to Samsung for repair. While you might have to part with your beloved device for couple weeks but this is possibly the best option.
If you were planning to send it back for repair, I also recommend you to have them calibrating the electronic compass as well if you found it display incorrect reading like mine, which has almost 90-degree off-course.
Happen to me once, push the sim card with something sharp.
hi !

Hi, this happened to me last week. I wondered what the hell was going on. The sim would phisically not push down where it once clicked in place.
I only got mine in January. Luckily I got mine from Panamoz with the £12 replacement warranty. Sent it back to Panamoz last week and they agreed it was faulty and sent me a brand new one which I received today

[HELP]Screen flickering :'(

So... this recently happened some weeks ago, first it just randomly happened and it only lasted a couple of secs so i didn't mind it.
starting about 4 days ago it started happening normally and really often so i thought it was a ROM or something related so i did a full wipe and installed the cloudy g3 2.0 and... the same problem over and over and now my phone basically is unusable, it happens every like 3 or 5 seconds and then i cant do anything with it. the Screen gets like totally pixelated(?)
does someone know what should i do? hardware problem most likely right? it even happens in the twrp recovery screen:crying::crying::crying:
i found this pics on another forum and this is exactly what happens to me. that guy still had warranty and just got it fixed there. i don't have warranty anymore as it has expired.
i would really like to know what is happening guys, any help or explanation would be really thanked.

Nexus 6p had an unexpected short swim in the sea... trying to revive it :(

Hi all!
I'm writing here with deep hope that someone can help me somehow...
I got my 6p popped in the sea a month ago just as far s the camera glass goes. I've turned it off immediately, but because I was in a small place, didn't manage to find some phone shop or any way to open it and dismantle the battery. I did try to turned it on (stupid me) later on that day and after that left if for 2 days to dry.
My hopes rose when it did give some kind of a "life signal" when on charger but that's as far as I got...
So, when I put it on charger I get the Battery animation icon with 50% showing on the bottom, after few secs it shows 0%. Also, while on charger it just bootloops... can't get pass the Android boot animation, it just restarts. However, I can get to recovery (TWRP) and browse through it (make backups etc) while on charger it doesn't restart. The thing is that it only works with wall charger, I can't get to recovery when connected to computer via USB (so I can't even get that backup or transfer files from the phone ).
I've went to two phone repair shops in my town, but both said that it's dead. The thing is I'm not sure that they even tried with new battery, because this is a rare phone in my country and they probably don't even have one to try...
Anyway, I've ordered new battery, but I'm afraid if that'll help... I would like, at least to connect it somehow to my computer and try to transfer files and maybe do some factory resting or loading an image...
I have some pics from one of the repair shops, so I hope someone could help me determine if there is any help with it?
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Djape

In reality, you aren't going to get a reply because nobody has a clue what you've done. Post a video up of the failure and perhaps you might get a response, but in reality, you've done something right weird here, haven't you? I mean, who cleans their head unit.... just wipe the screen and be done with it.
Did you plug the old ribbon connector in while the unit was switched on? If so, my best guess is you've shorted something which is why your ribbon cable melted. Potentially what you've goosed as a result.... is a mystery.
Could be the entire screen, could be the entire unit, could be neither...
Might be time for a new one.
Might be time to find a local electronic repairer.
