Hi, I have a Galaxy A5 2015. Sometimes when I wake up the phone, The screen glitches (Color is messed up and there are lines). But when I press the power button and wake the phone again the screen is back to normal. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks. Note: The glitch is hard to see because of the wallpaper color. Will send a better picture

Hi guys
I am the happy owner of a hacked through Galaxy Tab 10.1 3g running the latest CM9 build from Pershoot (0419) and I had a weird experience with it today.
It has a bug where sometimes the lock screen doesn't accept touches and the screen does not go entirely black (it just dimms) when I press the power button. All I have to do to fix it is force close and reboot the tab. But this time it woke up and got seriously ****ed.
While still showing the Samsung logo the entire screen suddenly shifted 1/3 to the right and stayed like that all the way into Android, through CM9 boot animation and all. All touches registered in the right places, but everything on screen was off. I shot a little video (with my GNex) so you guys can see what I am talking about:

Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me?
As you see in the video, it went away after a reboot...
you dont even need to do all that.
1. plug in usb
or
2. let the screen turn off, hit power once, unlock.
kernel 0425, and kernel 0426 should sort any remaining touchscreen issues.
the shifted screen is an anomaly on your specific tab for this incident.
go to droidbasement, grab 0425 kernel (will be refreshing 0426 tonight after investigating one incident so i wouldnt flash it), flash it, and youll be ok.
Hi,
After Xmas I made factory reset with TWRP and I made an upgrade to CM13.(6.0)
It was working fine.
When I was trying to make next daily update, after reboot, screen became black and nothing shown up.
I was trying a lot of things since that moment.
When I was going back from service point (I really want to sort it out) when they told me it is probably LCD broken (i have broken glass, but 1 year ago, so I do not believe it can be screen),
when I take phone out I spotted that keys are highlighted so I swiped and it locked out and shown screen! it was working perferctly fine,
so I decided that it is best moment to flash newest CM to solve issues, but after reboot screen was black again.
I can enter download mode so it is visible in Odin, but screen is black in every mode.
There is only quick flash on screen when turning on and also really short moment of Samsung Galaxy logo which becoming dark quite quickly.
I flashed stock rom(5.0), but nothing changed, despite of that I know phone is turning on somehow because I hear music on turning on...
Can someone help?
I really doubt that it can be hardware issue.
Can it be something with BL ? How can I solve it...?
Question 1. This just happened right now my s5 is starting up and sometimes it shows the s5 startup powered by android sometimes not after that it proceeds in starting up with the usual sound effects but the problem is the screen is just plain black. Now i believe my phone is proceeding to the homescreen cause i tried to ring it and it did plus my ringtone music played. I tried pulling the battery multiple times and start the phone but still same result. I also tried the taking the battery off and pressing the power button for a minute. also tried the safe mode, but none of them worked. What do you think? is it a firmware or a hardware issue?
Question 2. Im still not sure the cause of the problem. Because of the black screen issue i I wanted to backup my files saved in the phones memory. However my phone is locked through my fingerprint and I guess because of that when I connect my phone to the pc im unable to access my files. Is there anyway I can access my files through a pc and unlock it using my phone's fingerprint alternative password?
TIA
If the initial logo sometimes won't show up, it sounds more like hardware as that is not part of the ROM
If your phone is secured by fingerprint, wait for it to boot, press the home or power key to wake it up, then swipe like normal, if it's just a faulty screen, the fingerprint swipe should still work

hey thanks alot swiping the through the black screen unlocked my phone. so do you think it is a hardware issue I assume its the LCD?
but if ever the LCD is broken , the finger scanner should also not be functional? or im wrong?
The finger scanner is a separate button (Home button)
There are two parts to the screen iirc, the digitizer (Touch) and the panel itself for displaying, could be just the panel if the digitizer is still working
You can use this to control your phone without a screen, might help

i'm experiencing the same problem again. Before I guess after 40-50 restart I was able to open my s5 with a screen, but now it happened again and the difference is that when I boot it the "Samsung s5 powered by android" rarely shows and it will proceed until the home screen with a black screen?
i have already removed the battery, charged it, changed battery, boot it in recovery and safe mode but still all i'm getting is a black screen.
Any idea how to fix this? Is this a hardware issue already

Hi kenchii17
As you didn't provide answer to @*Detection* 's suggestion for backup, here comes another:
[TOOL] Tickle My Android
To get rid of all this inconvenience, I would suggest a complete reinstall. Clear everything through Recovery and then flash a new Stock ROM via ODIN.
Nice regards.
.
I recently got a 2nd hands S7 Edge. It had a software issue (I'm guessing he tried to install a custom Rom but forgot to unlock the BL...). So I reinstalled stock android 8.0.0 and it went successful. Before I installed android, it already had a glitchy flickering screen. When brightness is MAX and it's on AUTO, most of it disappears. But when the phone gets a little hot, it comes back. This is very annoying since it's on the bottom of the screen and there are a lot of buttons there, so I can't really see where I'm pressing. I have tried master reset via android recovery. Nothing happened. I have also tried via safe mode, still the same. I have checked the Liquid Damage Indicator and it's still good. There aren't any major scratches on the screen. Just a some small scratches on the home button. And the glitch already appears when the Samsung logo comes up. Idk if this is useful but the glitch isn't visible in a SS.
I hope someone can help me with this.
I will post pictures in like an hour, because this is the only phone I have access to.
Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
Today my Samsung A40 was due a software update, so I downloaded the update and left it to install. However, since it has installed my phone is completely unresponsive. I have tried doing a soft and hard reset, and followed every Youtube video suggestions like tapping the phone screen and rubbing the back cover (?). But still nothing.
The phone looks like it's on - there's a very very faint light, but it remains black soon after the Samsung A40 logo goes, and when I try to call it from another phone it goes straight to voicemail.
This problem already happened once after a system update and a phone repair shop was able to fix it for 20$ but of course he did not tell me what was wrong and I cannot get a hold of him now.
Unfortunately the phone is outside of its warranty period so sending it back to Samsung isn't an option.
If anyone has any further suggestions I'd appreciate it
that's what i mean for reset, it is just a restart really.
