Good morning!
Was hoping to get some info on my current issue.
Have a Moto X play XT1562 and the screen was shattered. After i changed the screen with a new one i noticed the following issue. The screen is not working at all while the phone is charging. There is no buzzing while i am charging ,but i have no clue what might be causing the issue. Is it the charging port or an issue with the grounding? I noticed that the new frame had no magnets ( the old had two on the side).
Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated!
Thanks!

So I have a QI wireless charger I got on amazon. It works perfect. Also use it with nexus 7. Today I noticed when my phone was on the charger, something caught my eye and my phone was shuffling through apps, opening Google now, getting driving directions and such by itself. As if someone was using the phone. Every time I put it on the charger this happens now all of a sudden. Its kinda comical. I laugh and watch what all it does each time. Any idea what could being causing this to happen when placed on the wireless charger?
Your phone is being haunted.
It could be an issue related to overheating. Was your phone got to touch when this happens ?

No, not more than normal using the wireless charging. It only does it when I place it on the charging pad. Its almost instant. As soon as I take it off, it stops. I don't see how the wireless charging could be causing it to perform task on its own. I'm thinking it is haunted.

This happened to me today
I had the same thing happen to me today while using a Nokia qi charger. My phone just started registering random screen presses, which resulted in the device launching my music player and starting to play a song. Just happened the one time, though. Haven't been able to replicate it.
Yeah i've seen it twice before with the orb. I think it has to do with static electricity.
are butesQ
Same thing - I got a phone and a Qi charger from Nokia. All happens while the phone is on the charger
But.... I don't see how heat can produce text that makes sense. Text that has nothing to do with me or my apps. More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45560693
thats crazy lol...
The only way to keep it from performing random task, is to lock the screen before placing it on the charger. The screen will turn on and off but since its locked, it won't actually perform various task.

static electricity and capacitative touch screens
I have been wondering about this kind of problem, and research is pointing to an electrical interference with the digitizer.
A lot of users have posted that the phantom touches are happening on a localized strip or area of the screen. You can view this as it occurs by enabling "view touches" in developer settings; of course, some report issues so extreme (usually because the phantom touches are appearing across the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen) some might have a considerably harder time accessing this option.
I have noticed that I am able to replicate this issue immediately after charging - however, it is occurring after a wired charge, and only in the last week (I bought an N4 a over a month ago sealed NIB/HW vers.: rev_11). Because the connection between Synaptics digitizer ribbon and main board is solid, and because the touches only appear at the microUSB/charger I/O end of the device, I am left wondering if there is a contact/shielding issue going on, or if it is some other problem allowing static to build up and discharge through the digi.
More research is needed, including reviewing bug reports and logcats. What other diagnostics could be run to get more information on the electrical status of various components to help track the issue? Have any other E960 users experienced a phantom touch issue? How many have seen (maybe) a correlation between charging and the weird screen/digitizer events?
results of testing
attempted fix 1: re-locked the bootloader, then OEM unlocked, affecting a FULL WIPE of the device. RUUed from occam stock (7-zip, fastbooted everything from bootloader to radio by-the-book), beginning with old JB and then up to 4.3. the problem "quieted down" for a full five days, and then flared right back up.
attempted fix 2: pulled the phone apart, disconnected battery. cleaned the digitizer connections with 90% Isopropyl. applied a tinfoil ground, first to the metal chassis (which honestly made my armhair stand up a bit when it turned on), and then to the grounding/shielding covering the NFC pcb. the problem "quited down" for 2 days, then flared right back up.
attempted fix 3: called LG. said, "this phone's f*$#ed; here's the ESN." LG guy tells me the screen's already been replaced on this handset. it was a refurb, "but it weren't our guys what applied the new screen assembly that's giving you all the bollocks" - it was the carrier, and that warranty just went out of date yesterday. THERE IS OIL FROM SOME FINGERS making dodgy contact between the digitizer in the assembly and the chassis, and this results in RADIO INTERFERENCE THAT FLARES UP the phantom touches when there's a perfect storm of COLD (static!), VOLTAGE IRREGULARITIES (mains/cables/municipality!), and USAGE (lots of cache!)
attempted fix 4: can anyone recommend a trustworthy online vendor for a properly grounded screen assembly? I'm going to finish the teardown and replace the full assembly, and when that doesn't work out, I'm going to throw this glass static machine on the ground.
has anyone else been doing testing/have any positive results that stick longer than a business week?
screen going berserk when placed on qi charger
I have had this same issue yesterday, but only on one of my phones.
I have an E-Ceros One (Chinese MTK Octacore phone, twin/clone Ulefone U5) and my old (now my wife's) SG Note 1 (GT n7000).
Bought a qi receiver from eBay for each phone that plugs into micro usb port of the phone and receiver pad lies inside between battery and back case, and a cheap qi charger pad.
Put the receiver in the Note, chuck it on the charger & starts charging - no problems! (other than it does get a little warm when charging)
Put the other receiver in my E-Ceros One, lay it on the charger, starts charging but the screen goes berserk - definitely looks like the electromagnetic field is making the screen digitizer go crazy.
I have sort of found workaround/s though:
- either turn the phone off first and put it on the qi charger, OR
- the qi charger I have is rectangular, and if I sit the phone across the width of the charger, i.e. so the top and bottom of phone are sitting over the sides of the charger with nothing underneath, it starts charging and screen doesn't go crazy. If I wait ~30 secs I can then turn the phone so it sits along the length of the charger and screen doesn't go crazy - I'm thinking the electromagnetic field "settles" after charging for a few moments.
So yes, it's weird
Hello,
Unfortunately I do not have any pictures to show the issue so I will try to explain the problem as best I can.
I recently replaced the screen and bezel on a LG G2 (D802) Moving everything accross from one bezel to the other went fine with the only difficulty I had was removing the battry from the old bezel (The battery got a little bent, but nothing major).
After putting everything back together in the new bezel/screen I started getting a strange issue. The phone refused to turn on and if I plugged the charger in it would show me a battery symbol with a thermometer in a yellow triangle. After a few minutes it would then turn on.
When the phone is on, it will charge and work perfectly fine until the phone is turned off next.
Looking online I have read that after changing a screen on this particular phone some people have reported that the battery reports its temperature being -30c.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue, and if it is the battery temperature sensor, where is this located?
Have you been able to fix thi problem? i am having the same issue after changing my screen
I'm having the same issue. sometimes when i'm getting the -30 temp issue, I'd literally bang the phone a few times and it would correct itself. while showing -30 temp it would not charge... with the charger connected, it would remain at the same battery level.
I'd appreciate if someone would find a way to hack the charging function not to look at battery temperature as i'm sure it does. I think this is something that runs deep within the device - not a simple OS parameter since the device wouldn't even boot up if it's "too cold".
not sure what i have to replace to fix this issue. I never removed the battery, the issue started after I changed the screen myself (kept the same chassis)
Hi everyone,
recently a friend of mine gave me his old Moto X Pure. He broke the screen and I thought I might be able to fix it by just popping a new screen on. Luckily I first tested if everything else still worked and it turned out that it must have another problem. It doesn't charge as far as I can tell (no charging indicators, left it on the charger overnight, charger doesn't get warm as usual when charging and the computer doesn't recognize it as USB device at all). So I disassembled it to see if the battery maybe was deeply discharged and for whatever reason wouldn't charge either. But the voltmeter shows me a battery current of ~3.65V which is still good as far as I understood.
So my question is if maybe anyone around here has another idea about troubleshooting to bring this bad boy back to life.
Attached are some photos in case that helps anybody.
Thanks in advance .
Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge. It fell and bumped on the front screen. The touchscreen is (was) still working, but there was some flickering and the half-bottom of the screen had bands green and black continuously. I don't understand completely the damage because for example it seems that I can even only replace the "outer" screen but I think the damage is deeper.
There is a photo:

(XDA doesn't let me post the link, fix the link by yourself, please)
I even tried to search for the replacement screen but didn't find it. Could you link me a website where to buy the screen replacement? How do you think is deep the hurt?
More than this, some days (a week circa) after the broken display it was charging and was possible to use (even with the broken screen - in fact touchscreen was working). But suddenly it stopped charging at all. Plugging-in the cable makes the phone show the icon of the charging forever (it's turned off) but never shows the precentile. What is the problem? It was charging some days ago!
Thanks.
My galaxy s5 started acting up a month ago. The screen will flicker green/yellow then go black, or stay black entirely. It got a lot worse recently where it will only work hitting the power button 1% of the time. Is this a hardware issue? Or software?
When the screen dims before sleep, it spazzes out too. I've noticed it works better when it warms up from charging too. But still fails to display way too much. It still registers touch when black. I replace the battery a few months ago BTW.
If the device has no hope, can you guys reccomend a good cheap phone?
Put your phone on max brightness & set your phone to never turn the screen off
Leave your phone screen turned on with max brightness for a at least a few hours
If that doesn't solve it then you may need a new screen - it is a hardware fault on these devices with these types of screens
If I were you I'd also follow the advice of
TheFixItMan said:
. I'd make sure to run a slideshow in your gallery while having your screen at max brightness though as this may reduce the risk of having burn-in on your screen.
If all fails you could buy a new display for your S5. I did so myself recently as I kept having "snowstorms" on my display when I turned my phone/ the screen on. Worked for me, managed to get a new and genuine one from a reputable seller on eBay. Hope you won't have to resort to the latter though.

@TheFixItMan thanks for the advice, I tried it last night, and it didn't improve at all. Is there any possibility that the device isn't giving the screen enough power? Because I have better success when its plugged in. What do you think caused this to happen after 5 years?
@James160103 Thanks, I tried it and it didn't work. I'm exploring all my options. For $10 more then an OEM gs5 screen, I can get a gs7.
Perhaps it's got something to do with your new battery then, did you buy a genuine Samsung battery? How about sticking the old one back in and seeing if that makes a difference?
Also try using a genuine Samsung power adapter and charging cable.
It's worth a try anyway. Let me know if that made a change.
If it doesn't help you could remove the screen from the phone and press the flex cable from the digitizer downwards to see if it might be a loose connection between the motherboard and the screen that's causing the problem. I'd try that as a last resort though as you could damage your display in the process (replaced the screen myself and managed not to break anything, did it for the first time). There's lots of videos on YouTube (I recommend JerryRigEverything) that could help you out.
While this is unlikely, you may want to try before buying an S7.
Also, try booting into TWRP and playing around with the brightness settings and turning the display on and off again to see if it's some bug with the OS (again, unlikely but it's worth trying).
Please let me know if any of the oprions worked for you or made a difference, cheers.
@James160103 my old battery can't hold a charge, so I disposed of it. My new one has been fine for a few months without any problems. As far as a charger, I have a better charger then the stock, and a thick gauge nylon wrapped cord, that's been doing fine for the last 2-3 years.
The whole display issue isn't just on the OS, when I boot normal or into recovery it stays black, or flickers for a split second.
I did notice that if I hold it in front of my car vent, with full heat. Once its warm it seems to work, just until it cools off. I'm guessing its a hardware issue at this point, but I'll try to check the connection.
Thanks for your help
Facing this exact issue. It has gotten worse now.
