Sometimes works 2-3 hours with no problem and sometimes I cant use it at all - display is flickering and stop responding and if I lock the screen with power button and push the button again the screen is unfreezing for a while. I have tried everything- reinstal oficial ROM, root the phone and instal some custom ROMs, custom recovery, wipe and clean everything nothing helps.

it probably is a hardware issue, most likely the adreno GPU failing. Youve flashed the tar.md5 stock firmware and its still doing it? If so, its very likely a hardware issue

yep, I've flashed the original tar, also tried with 4 file with pit. Some time the phone starts flickers on the Samsung logo at the beginning, some time passes the logo and initial setup and then starts....maybe your are right, I just love my phone and didn't want to RIP him. The only thing I didn't try is to install something different than Marshmallow and to decrease working frequencies. Can you please tell me if the problem is form GPU is it worth to be fixed?
you could try a new battery , my S3 had screen flickering problems at aprox 30% battery and then freezes and reboot and battery after reboot suddenly 2% and after that screen flicker and no power anymore.
Try reboot with only charger connected and no battery connected
can't do that - the phone cannot be started without battery inside. Furthermore the battery is brand new original and I start using it after the problems started
You can look with phone info app from play store. Look which date the phone was made and when its more then 2 years then its hardware issue. On my display its only flickering on the very lowest brightness levels when i make it brighter the flickering is gone. When your phone is so too then its hardware issue but i will look with another battery from a friend and will report. I think its the display like plasma 1-2 years burn-in.

I had the same problem with screen flickering with my s5 (QCOM variant). It had started after screen replacement in a repair point. It would get the worst when screen brightess was at the minimum level. Sometimes the screen would not wake up, and low temperature/ low battery level made it even worse. The answer to the problem is a defective screen which needs replacing. No other way as far as I know.
the screen is flickering

I have the Samsung Galaxy S5. I also had the issue of when I had the screen brightness on auto it would flicker or if it was on a low setting it would do the same. If I raised the brightness it would stop. When the battery goes below 8% it starts flickering non-stop and the only way to stop it is to plug it in to an outlet. I took it to Verizon about 6 months ago (about the 2 1/2 year mark when it had been doing it since around 2 years) - of course their immediate answer was to do a factory reset and after that they had no solution (I did NOT do a factory reset). I'm eager to hear if a new battery corrects it or if it is indeed the screen/display. This may be a way to make sure we get a new phone every two years...
my case looks different. The flickering not depend form brightens or remaining charge in battery. Furthermore sometime it stops at all and I can use the phone without any problems for 1 or 2 hours. I did factory reset several time and reinstall software (official and custom). Perhaps there is some hardware issue and a phone upgrade is upcoming.
I tested with a battery from a friend yesterday and its the same. I will do this week a odin stock flash day and then i will see. But i think its the display.
When I use "Always on display" on my edge the screen doesn't becomes completely black, remains like LCD screen with backlight on.
Check the pics: first with Samsung AOD and "gray" screen, second with Amoled Display app on play store with perfect amoled black.
How is your screen?
I've got this very same problem. I've tried resetting the AoD app's settings and clearing the device's cache in the recovery but that didn't fix it. I haven't tried factory resetting yet because I don't have the time now to set up my phone from the ground up.
Do you have any fix for this? Have you tried factory resetting?
* Please note that the diagonal lines are an artifact from my camera, and not actually visible on the display.
nope. I don't think that factory reset can solve this problem.
Today my s7 edge received the december security patch with 273 Mb update but the "problem" remains.
Now I'm using the pay app "Always on amoled" and it works perfectly
It might as well be a hardware issue with the AMOLED panel. After NYE, I'd try factory resetting the device first, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll probably send it for warranty repair.
nah, with another app is perfect. It's software related ( with some panels ) I think Samsung use different panel with different voltage or similar cuz my friends s7 edge is completely black and another one is like mine.
Hello, did anyone come up with a solution to this (apart from using the third party app?) I have exact the same issue, and my colleague at work also has an S7 Edge bought from the same shop with no problem. Mine used to be fine, but stopped being black a few months ago; it also happens with the edge screen {see pics} , but not the third party app. I have the unlocked EU Exynos variant. Likewise have tried different versions of the app, even different firmwares and all have the same issue.
I had this on my first S7 edge after 3 months... only fixed by replacing the screen unfortunatley (under warranty)
I have got this problem and i think I am going to use a guaranty, I dont understand how other third party app works, but there are problems with AOD.
Software bug?????
Interestingly, I had this problem with my S7 Edge from the time I purchased it back in August. It occurred with AOD as well as Night Clock...so much so that I didn't use Night Clock due to the faint "glow" right by my head. Nothing fixed it...factory reset, updates, display tweaks, nothing. My fiancee, who got her phone about a month before me, never had this problem. At the time, a warranty replacement was suggested, but I chose not to since it's wasn't a big deal I just lived without the night clock or AOD since I'd never used them before anyway.
Fast forward to January of this year. My device developed the green vertical line along the edge that persisted through reboots. Some others have reported pink or other color similar lines and it's a fairly well known defect. Had the phone replaced under warranty and the new device doesn't suffer from this problem. My fiancee's phone still has not developed this issue.
I'm wondering if the two items...the vertical line issue and the faint glow from the panel, are related and the result of a hardware defect. I'm going out on a limb and saying yes. I would suggest that anyone with this issue take advantage of a warranty replacement since it appears other screen issues might crop up as well.
I have the same issue, i need help. Please
I have same problem always on back lit so I went to Samsung store in leeds.
the assistant said he couldn't see a recognised
Problem or fault so wouldn't do anything about
it .

It is not a problem. It is just demand of the users. In complete darkness, the AOD background becomes slightly gray, just to make sure that it remains visible.
Ofcourse it, too, can be fixed, by mocking Ambiant Sensor's values. I used XPOSED and installed "Sensor Disabler" from play store, and used it as an XPOSED Module, in side menu, selected "Light" and then "Mock sensor values". Make sure you just keep the value just above 0 lux ( 210 lux is optimum ). It is a sensitive slider, so just slightly increase it.
Auto brightness will be at constant level, better turn it off. However, AOD will work like a charm now! (PERFECT BLACK CONTRAST)
Occasionally my phone will just go crazy, screen will get all jittery,touching on a menu doesn't work ,it mainly happens on noughat stock and custom ROMs.,random apps popping up.any experience anything like that?a simple reboot fixes the problem.

It's an inherent issue with some displays present on the Moto G4. It most often happens when you charge your phone. Too much current builds into the frame of the display and you get weird ghost and jitter touches.
No way around it unless you send it in, and even then it may be only a temporary fix.
I also face this issue. Unable to find solid solution for this. Finally i decied to go for custom rom like RR and Invicta. This still comes occasionally(when Heats too much during phone charging)

On my phone this happens while not charging. Seems to happen about one out of every 3 times the phone is unlocked using the fingerprint sensor. Locking the screen and unlocking via a pin seems to be a reliable way of getting past the issue. Though occasionally it happens on the pin entry screen before it the pin has been entered. Needless to say, it IS annoying.
Same problem which is fixed.
I had this problem with the factory firmware too, intermittent bouts of the phone going crazy with phantom touches on my Moto G4. I sent it to Motorola/Lenovo after the supplier gave me their phone number and they did find the problem and fix it. Now I can play graphic intensive games even during fast charge and the phone is awesome for once. : )
Please note they will fix it for free if in warranty and bootloader not yet modified.
Pressing power button to turn off the display and then pressing power button again to turn the display back on will provide temporary relief from jittery screen. I noticed that the jittery screen has twice subsided over time but came back twice immediately after OS upgrade so blaming the problem on charging, or hardware doesn't seem accurate.
Updated 5/20/2018
As a last ditch effort prior to buying a replacement phone I deleted all apps I installed, reset phone and reinstalled fresh copies of most if the apps I needed.
I don't recall every thing I did but my focus was to delete everything I could and then reset phone back to factory state. After reinstalling, my jittery problem went away and has not returned. Your millage may very, so no promises. Phil

Without going service center And fix battery battery temperature to 25 degree.?
phone going crazy
Hi,
I am having the same exact problem. I have observed that Google Assistant is intruding because each time this happens, Google Assistant is trying to run. Reboot is a temporary fix but the problem persists. I have removed most of the third party apps just to see if anything changes but it did not work.
This is not something that was happening from the start. I have the phone for about 2 months put the problem only started a couple weeks ago. I would love to hear if there is a solution and what. Thanks
Sadly, but compared to the issues visible indoors, in outdoors this Lenovo gift turns complete crap:
youtu.be/dTcHclVEfCg
"Lenovo Moto Z2 Force touchscreen gets completely unusable when getting outdoors! The video is made at about 0 degrees Celsius. So it takes about 30 sec from getting MotoZ2 Frc to sleep with pwr btn (and wakeing up back) to see the touchscreen goes crazy. At -10C, it takes ~5 sec. At +15-20C, after several min it becomes unresponsive and have to use pwr button to recover.
Lenovo, what you have done to Motorola ?!!"
Can it be fixed somehow with changing the upper protective part? I have seen comments that the touchscreen can stop working completely, if peel off the cover part..
Since I've upgraded to Nougat, I occasionally get this weird full screen slow fade in of a white washed out layer on the whole screen. What's odd is that it can't be captured via screenshot, making me think it may be a hardware problem. Restarting the phone fixes the problem and I can't figure out what might be causing it. Basically, it looks like my phone just has a white opaque layer overtop the entire screen.
That has been reported with many MXS and MXPE users, even before the update, It's considered okay since it gets solved on a reboot. I personally have experienced it few times. When it first occurred, I was kind of freaked out but rebooting fixed it and researching the issue on the internet reported it to be occurring with other users too.
Before upgrading to nougat, i already had this white screen problem bir a reboot was solving the problem. After upgrading to nougat, this problem became permanent. my screen is always white and reboot does not solve the problem. Does anybody have a suggestion? Thank you.
It seems my phone has a problem of ghost touch. The status bar slides down automatically and randomly. I turned on developer mode to see what happened, it seems, some coordinates near (320, 0) are clicked very often with no reason at all. It annoys me a lot since it interrupts my normal operation. Did someone has the same problem? And how do you solve it? Thanks
I had the same issue. top right of my screen would think it was being touch when it wasnt.
Yes, my wife's ph-1 has this issue. the ghost touches liked a bunch of Instagram posts, it was hilarious seeing my wife's reaction to this, and then she had to go back and unlike a bunch of crap posts.
But this is an issue and very serious one. I believe this could be also causing battery drain if it interacts with OS and causes deep sleep not to kick in when it should. If the issue happens again I will be contacting support to get this BS sorted out.
I have this issue on the oreo beta although it will keep touching the same spot continuously for about a minute or so and if it happens while the phones locked i cant do anything till it stops luckily its been happening less and less often
I had this happen on one phone but not the others, worse when the phone got hot
i think it's the screen, if you look closely, its not flat. Mine is kinda wavey at the edges, like there's a little too much adhesive, and i think that waviness gets worse when the phone gets hot, and causes the phantom touch

It was gone for 3 days and now the problem is back today. I tried to restart in safe mode and problem is still there so it is a system issue, not caused by third party app.
Same issue here. No rhyme or reason I can see as to why
Mine was happening on my old PH-1 without the earpiece screen, but i got the new version i got has no issue.
This issue is very annoying I'm thinking of returning the device to Sprint and getting another but since it happens so random I wouldn't even be able to show them the issue. Thought it was an issue with the oreo beta but after going back to stock I still have the issue starting to regret buying this phone
I've never experienced this issue on mine
Bump. Been happening to me on Oreo beta. About once or twice a day it happens. I just lock and unlock the phone and it stops. It's weird. I think it has something to do with the screen sensitivity. It's more prone to happening when the device screen is all smudgy or if I just washed my hands.
I have the same issue too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbHtJLQEU7o
Me too
Same issue here as well. I did the touch sensitivity trick as well and still getting it. Hope its a software issue and not a hardware one.
I haven't encountered ghost touch but encountered slow responding touch issue. Sometimes the touchscreen will respond to my command slower like 3-4 secs after i touch the screen. Every time this issue appears, a restart of my phone will clear it. Very likely software issue. I'm still on nougat, hopefully they fix it on Oreo before it goes out of beta.
My first PH-1 would become touch unresponsive for 30+ seconds all the time (it was fully updated at the time). It seemed to happen more frequently when I was typing on the stock keyboard. I eventually returned it and bought another several weeks later. I've had no issues with the new one-quite happy with it. I'm running the Beta2 update and enjoying it.

That's good to know. Mine also happened when using the keyboard occasionally as well. I have a replacement set coming as my original set's packaging did not come with the pull tab on the box and there was a fingerprint smudge at the back of the phone when i took the phone out of the box the first time. I presumed mine was a used/returned set, not new as what i had ordered. Hope the new set fixes the issue.
My phone has the same issue whenever I'm charging it and using it at the same time it's registering multiple touches when I'm using just one finger on the screen, it mostly happen when I'm doing a long press action. In developers option I have show taps enable so I'm able to see all ghost touches.
I fixed my ghost touch issue with a simple hard reset.
It will come back sadly
