and sometimes the phone restarts as well.
I don't know if it's a hardware issue but I tried to use the phone without external sd card with stock firmware but sometimes I have always the same issue.

Is my phone dying?

Hi there,
Emmc read failure is definitly a hardware error. Emmc is the flashmemory of your phone. At the moment many not4 's are suffering from this error, especially the ones produced in 2014. The problem will get worse over time with your phone : freezes, reboots, laggy,.....
I had the same problems with my phone. It started in the summer of 2016 with the random rebooting, then the phone got very laggy and the the freezing began. the only solution is to replace the mainboard with a new one. You can find them on aliexpress or ebay. On youtube you can find a tutorial for the replacement. I did it myself and it is not difficult.

I'm hesitant to buy another phone (I'd like Lg V20) or repair this one because the lowest cost of motherboard is about 150Eur + tools.
Now I can keep on to use this phone and the lags aren't frequent but if you want to load sone apps or you want type on keyboard and you need that it appears often that is slow..and I don't know if it is related at mmc failure..

I also have a N910F. I bought a new motherboard on aliexpress for 60 Euro, and they are still available.

My friend is welcome! Classic note 4(n910f) defective club
According to the prediction, the majority of note 4 from preloaded 5.1.1 will make this fault.
But as I said it is a guess. I think the 2nd party note 4 is entering this group.
When it comes to the problem of
No more trusting the phone from now on. It will freeze and random restarts will increase.
I have been engaged in debrick note 4 for a very long time in the forum and got workarounds.
But the inevitable end will happen.
Soon the phone will not open normally
So that the power button will not work
With Odin or with the smart switch, the stock rom can not be loaded and the EMMC error will increase.
Use as much as you can. Get a backup phone.
I've had this problem until I change the motherboard.
But I am not satisfied at all. There are other problems.
I do not do too many custom ROM tests anymore.
Good luck...

Hello all and thanks for reading my thread.
I have searched high and low for this same issue, but found nothing similar anywhere unfortunately.
I have recently noticed that at all times, the screen seems to produce some horizontal lines which flicker often ... I am finding it hard to explain the problem itself, but I have not dropped the phone nor hit it or w/ever.
All I can think of is that I played a lot of this one game on it and it could have affected (overheat?) the GPU or something along those lines...
I am really not sure, but bottom line is that now I see all these issues on the screen, and camera and some games are off limits to use as they look very confusing...
Anyone has any idea what it could be?

Could you provide a screenshot?
It does sound like a hardware issue. I would send it for repair. They might even replace it. Maybe you could take a video of it happening.
(I assume you tried uninstalling the game and it didn't solve the problem. If your CPU is being overclocked try resetting it back to normal.)

Are screen issues/hardware issues fully covered by warranty? As I talked to an HTC support dude and all he said was we can book a repair and if it's not covered by warranty we'll send you a quote, £20 if you don't want the repair, if you don't pay either we'll get rid of the phone in 3 months...
So I don't wanna really send it off then find my parents get a £100 bill of which they don't know of :/
Most likely the lines are caused by a malfunctioning LCD. This can happen on its own or by physical abuse. Carrying your phone in your back pocket can cause this. If the phone looks great on the outside (no sign of big nicks from being dropped or warped from carrying it in your pocket) then HTC should find no reason to not fix it under warranty. Sometimes things go bad on their own.
Hey,
thanks everyone for your replies. I tried installing a different ROM (Cyan) on my DHD and it still seems to have the same issue, tried changing the cpu and gpu voltages, playing with temperatures etc, but to no avail..
I guess the LCD did go wrong, so Im sending it to Vodafone (UK) for repair. The only thing is that they will probably send me a refurbished phone if they cant fix it which wouldnt really be my first choice, but oh well! Could be worse I guess...
Thanks again for all the feedback

@qqavatar: it's definitely a hardware fault, send it for repair...
My Indian Friend gave me this phone No power,
It has response on Power supply when i trigger the Power Switch button, so i thought
there is something wrong with the boot or program.
My Jtag tools (medusa, riff, ort, etc) are no use since when i search the net and read about S3 jtag, i read this thing is not
open on s3 and all my tools doesnt support this phone yet. So i decided to do the Sdcard tricks on reviving Dead phones.
I always have Failed to copy error. I read E.V.A'S contribution post related to S3. He gave me a lot of information about this phone.
After 2 days of software trouble shooting i Decided to check the phones mobo and check every part of it.
when i look in the microscope i found out that I'm not the first to repair this phone.
I decided to change the IC (the tampered one). The IC with the red mark.
But it doesnt help.

I dont know what this location jumper means
but out of curiousity I just try to remove it.
This phone has a bypass on EU location. I leave the 3 Location open.
When i inserted the battery
IT TURN ON!
hahaha
I know those location are not related with the power )
Its just happen or its my lucky day
I just want to tell a story about my experience on Bricked SIII
This is not a first time I recieved Dead S3
But most of them were not related to Software Issue so it can be easily fix.
What is the purpose of that 3 location jumper?
I did try to install different location, different language it doesnt affect the phones functionality.
I know samsung wont put it on the board without purpose but what is the purpose of that thing?

I wonder what happens if you didn't replaced the IC and you just take the jumper off? Would it still be fixed?
Anyways this is Great Find! Might be helpful to ones experiencing SDS?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
if the SDS issue was a simple fix like this then it would be a miracle for those with "bricked" S3s.

Yeah, but i know its not related,
Just like I said on our local gsmforum i am being lucky
It will not fix any bricked s3 for sure.
I just want to share one of my experience on this kind of phone
Im sure its the IC which I replace.
By the way I want to know what is that location on board means?
I didnt put back the original by pass on EU

Hey
I recently bought a used G900H (seller said the box was only opened and phone not used but doesnt seem right)
So it looks mint, just like a new one would. Is certainly not a fake one too, passes all the tests, works very fluently and scores 42000+ on Antutu. Just flashed lollipop on it and all is nice BUT :
I tried to use s-beam and generally nfc - toggle turns on and phone thinks it works but doesnt, cant transfer anything, nothing happens at all. Same for IR (infrared), app thinks it works but it doesnt and I looked at IR transmitter through a camera and it doesnt light up as it should when being used. Blue led indicator flashed though.
SD card works but a couple of times a day promts that sd card is blank or unsupported, then eventually starts working again. SOmetimes promts it is safe to remove by itself.
Battery cover was 10/10 but just after what was like 5 times I removed and put it back on to interchange sd cards etc, 4 small cracks appeared on it,a piece of it even has fallen out and left a hole near a side.
I was also having battery drains but disabled some google services and battery is fine (by the way I have checked and the battery is genuine one)
What is happening ? I would appreciate any information
try to do factory reset wipe data etc. then download cpuz to be sure that it is real g900h (exynos).
after all if still having issues probably the phone has been damaged from the seller ..
I've had multiple factory resets and tried multiple roms, I am not new to android and this is in fact a genuine exynos model.
Everything points to a fake unit, or at least missing some hw. Did you download antutu yourself or did it came pre-installed on the phone?
I installed antutu myself, did all the checks, phone is 100% genuine and software wise works flawlessly. Also checked with Genuine galaxy app etc - passes just fine. Camera is incredible and speed of the phone as well. Also I have flashed G900H firmwares successfully so I wouldnt have succeeded that on a fake device. So in the case that seller had the phone damaged, what might have been done to it ?
Lollipop is very bad.. It made ud return the phone for repairs as it is so bad.
The nfc is located at a weird point on the back..
Battery drains like an insane... 30 percent pr. Hour here from time to time
I have also had terrible battery drain prior to disabling some services.
Here are some screenshots of what I had, maybe someone knows what might be the cause of this activity ? Battery was draining 100 to 0% in a few hours. I have now disabled these services using Disable Service app and can get through the whole day with heavy use no problem.

So if anyone is having similar problems here is what I found :
This was a refurbished phone thats all
and probably wasnt being used to well too
For some reason the wifi on my phone is acting strangely, it just started doing so a few days ago but before that it was all fine. Basically what is happening is that my wifi will be really slow to the point of not connecting to websites (Connection timed out etc.) however the wifi starts to work if I turn it off and then back on, but then stops. I really don't want to be doing that every 5 seconds. It used to be fine and then suddenly it started being weird. So basically my phone is quite useless now since I use my phone for everything (I log into my google account with my phone, I need to use the steam app on my phone and other important stuff). The wifi on all my other devices is fine like usual. Bluetooth also says that the bluetooth address is unavailable but I don't use bluetooth so it doesn't affect me but I think it's also to do with my problem.
Currently using Sokkoban's Deodexed ROM.
What I've tried doing:
Removed PurePerformancesX.
Cleared Cache.
Reflashed the ROM.
Flashed to the Official Lollipop update.
Flashed to the Official Marshmallow update.
Rebooted my router.
Reset my router.
Anything else to do?

I've heard about this, it seems it's a common problem among P8 lite users.

It sounds like it could be a faulty wireless card in the phone or the drivers bugged out. Blimin' shame that your warranty is void cause I am pretty sure they would have to fix that for you.
I actually had a very similar thing happen to my old iPhone 4s, wireless just completely died in the end. No regrets about that though, it brought me to android.
Really though, sorry to see you are having trouble with this and I really hope someone here can help you more.

I decided to remove the back cover of my phone to see what the problem could be, but then my screwdriver was too big to open any further. I still don't know where the WiFi + BT antennas are. And since TalkTalk are cool, they said that my warranty lasts as long as I carry on paying my contracts, which is good. However since I'm just out of the 28 day return window I'll need to give them a call so that Carphone Warehouse can repair it for me for free.

Hi all,
I just got a new Axon 7 from Amazon. Not refurbished, not open box - brand new.
Charged it up, started it and I get this madness :

The artifacts jump around on their own a bit, but also when the screen is touched. I removed the screen protector but the issue remains. So, I went to recovery mode, formatted data/cleared cache/reset to factory. Still the same. Just to be sure, I re-flashed B25 stock image from EDL mode, but it still shows the same screen/graphics corruption. Thoughts?
@heliosol ... Don't mess about - send it back to Amazon.

That's hilarious... One of the weirdest things I've seen in a while
Probably something wrong with the GPU, since you said that you reflashed the system. Do an RMA, don't you dare touch the bootloader
It's Amazon. Send it back and demand a new one. Why are you messing with it and potentially screwing yourself out of being able to return it?
To clarify (and add to the hilarity?): I bought an Axon 7 about 4 days ago. It had no display issues, but my SIM card didn't work in it and it had a tendency to not wake up from sleep (i.e. I press the power button or let it time out and then the only thing that would get it going is holding the power button again). I figured maybe it's my SIM card, or micro SD, or maybe some bug in the OS. Pulled out SIM and micro SD, re-flashed stock a few times, no luck. Send it back to Amazon.
Got a replacement. This one, with the screen issue. I am not at all messing around with it, it's going back on Monday. I just wanted to see if someone else was having similar issues with it -- perhaps it was some common thing that did not require a return and exchange. Doesn't look like it!

The bad thing is that a bunch of phones have every kind of trouble you can get on a phone. The good thing is that ZTE replaces them. Hell you can even RMA your phone if you messed the software so much that you can't see the ZTE logo...
