BSOD ( Black Screen of Death) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey Guys,
I have been using S7 Edge for few months now and I had trouble in few situations when phone just goes black ( AOD or Clock Display stops on certain minute ) and i had to force restart to make it work again.
Anyone had problem like this before and maybe some long term solution ? ( Phone is stock, no root, nothing)
Thanks

Nexus 4 Random touches on its own

Hey All,
I have nexus 4.. I was on stock rom 4.4.2 and suddenly three days back my phone started to be weird.. I see randomn touches on my phone. ( i have enable option show touches in devloper options..)
I was using art runtime..
So when i press the power button and lock the phone twice then i unlock it runs normally..
But these started to occur very frequently..
When it happens it freezes my phone or you can say touchscreen doesnt work sometimes it just freezes..
So i decided to Factory rest my phone i thought it was some apps having bug..
But it was still happening..
So I finally installed Cm11 with the installer.. I still have the issue...
Any Solutions?
It first showed when i was charging my phone but later it happened when i was not even charging ..
This has happened to me before. Call Google to begin an RMA and replace your phone if you're still under warranty

Problem with samsung galaxy S3 Neo (Possibly display or gpu related?)

Hello, yersterday night my phone was working perfectly fine, but this morning when I woke up I saw the display turned pink with 4 black stripes, I cant post pictures links, but I uploaded it to imgur.com / gsiX0m0.jpg (no spaces)
So, I reseted the phone in case that would fixt but since then I cant access, when I press the central button the screen turns on perfectly fine with normal colors and the touchscreen working, but after 2 or 3 seconds the screen turns pink agai and I cant click on it, atfer turning pink it starts to fade it away slowly (or some times it just turns off and auto resets instantly) and I have to wait around other 10 minutes to be able to turn it on again for other 2 or 3 seconds.
Any idea what this could be?
Also my computer is not detecting it...
Thank you very much and I hope some one is able to help me.

I think your gpu is damanged. If you still have warranty then send it back and let it repair.

resetting or restarting?
xXPR0T0TYPEXx is probably correct, but i would recommend that you try another battery if you have one available before sending it back.

Locked screen waking up alone

Hi there. I just bought a Note 4, 910F version, and i´ve been enjoying it a lot so far, but there´s something that it bothering me quite a bit. Everything was working flawlessly until a few hours ago when the phone starts turning the screen on, but stays in lockscreen mode, then the brightness goes to almost non viewable and stays that way. I try everything to make him go back to viewable brightness, but with no luck. If i unlock the phone sometimes the brightness comes back to normal and other times stays non viewable . . . . . . . . . . . and now comes the most weird thing of it all....the phone goes himself to task manager and starts force disabling/closing random apps. Sometimes only closes one, other times starts doing it to half a dozen ones and then all goes back to normal.
Anyone have any idea of whats causing this and why? Anyone experienced anything like this?
My phone is not rooted.
Thank you all for reading
Ok, so i figured out what is causing the waking, but now i would like to know how to make it stop. It seems that it´s the Greenify hibernating the apps that is causing the lockscreen to wake, but it´s strange because on my S3 that never happened. Any ideas of why it´s doing it this way in the Note 4?

the screen is flikering

hi guys, need help with following:
sometimes the screen flickers and stop responding overal....when he is in the mood. 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. Мy suspicions are that there is some hardware problem and there is no software solution, but if someone has faced such troubles and find a way to resolve them pls share

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.

Unbranded S7 Edge not waking up

Hey,
I have a weird glitch on my S7. Sometimes it won't wake up from the lockscreen. The screen just stay black no matter which buttons I press.
I've tried to fresh install Android OS, that didn't help.
I've tried to switch from Android 6.0.1 (DBT) to 7.0 (BTU), that didn't help.
I've also tried to turn off the Always On display, that didn't help either.
I'm running out of ideas.. It happens everyday 1-6 times and it really bugs me..
I don't want to install a custom rom since my KNOX didn't trip.
Do you guys have a solution for this problem?
edit:
Phone doesn't get hot or anything. It behaves normally. I can even put it on my QI Charger and I see the red charging LED.
Maybe a proximity sensor problem ?
Have you enable the feature who keeps your screen off when your phone is in your pocket or bag ? Maybe your proximity sensor does not work properly and causes this problem
Are you using stock lockscreen ?
No the feature is turned off.
I'm using stock lockscreen :/
