White screen, but seems lockscreen to work almost fine - Moto E4 Questions & Answers

Not sure what's going on with this device. Just found it and thought maybe I could fix it.
However before getting it in my hands, I would love to know if it may be fixed, easily if possible
Anyone had similar problem with their E4? I attached picture I got from the owner.
Not sure which variant it is (MTK or Qualcomm) if it's important.
Reflash? I cannot get him to answer me if it was factory reseted or not, so I take it as yes.

No idea. It looks like a theme since the clock is dark. Looks like mediatek version. That definitely matters when flashing. There is no way to know what is wrong, if anything. That picture just looks like they enabled "color inversion" in accessibility settings. Screenshot doesn't show it, but when enabled, it looks like that pic you have.

Hmm, so it may be something so non significant problem?
All I know is that "the screen is white, I don't know why"
I could get it for 5-6 bucks. Is it worth it? I think so
And as it's Eu version and only US have Qualcomm's processor it have to be Mediatek variant.

5 bucks sounds worth it.

I can't say for certain, but this is how mine looks with it enabled. Hopefully it's not stuck on that device.

What is the difference in the China version?

I can buy this phone for 200$, but it is made in China. The exact same phone just made in China. I was wondering what are the things I should check to make sure they are working before I buy this phone? Also what the differences are if the phone was made in China, I say so what? Lots of things are made in China, but I am worried it might be some knock off phone :S any suggestions?
What I've read is that Chinese *clones* (T 5353) have lower hardware specs (e.g. less mp for camera). Also a normal Topaz ROM won't work on these and there're only a few ROMS for it (engl., chinese).
Better pay a bit more for a real HTC one.

All clones have 3.2mp cam, not 5mp like TD2
Well if the only difference is a lower resolution camera, thats not a huge huge deal to me. The phone itself seems really nice. However I will probably keep searching until I find something better. Thanks a lot guys

the camera may not be an issue, but the software will. and, as mentioned above, you will not be able to change to any of fine ROMs offered on this website.

Distorted front facing camera

My front facing camera has been distorted at least since I bought the phone... pretty sure this is a hardware issue, as I have had it no matter which rom I use. Not super important, but I wanna see if I can fix it before ICS hits and I want the face unlock feature....
Here is an image to see what I am talking about.

You'll have plenty of time before ICS hits.......
You could try reloading the camera firmware. There is a thread around here somewhere with instructions and the firmware file. If that doesn't help, then it's time to visit a sprint store with a repair facility near you. They will replace the screen/camera assembly while you wait. They did mine in about an hour for free. I don't have insurance and the phone was 11 months old.
Edit: here's the link to the firmware update info:

Hmmm. you may be out of luck with sprint then. Try the link for the firmware update in my first reply. Good luck!
Just got done chatting with them, and they will take a look at it, as it is activated on Sprint... the firmware update FCed on me, but I assume that is because I am using CM... not sure though
Should I return to stock before taking it in?
Might be a good idea, just make a CWM backup first so you can re-root and be up and running again in a few minutes.

Well being a noob in rom cooking, i have hard bricked my tab. It doesnt even turn on.
Im new to sammy stuff, so would appreciate some pointers, is this: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-jtag-brick-repair/ the only way?
me and others flash the room from the stupied idiot guy in this post and got brick our devices, BTW i think he is working with the company you mintioned in web site, if like that he and the company are dirty.
any way, you are developer so try to recognize how flashing rom could make such problem. please.
the device have little hot in left side so maybe some hardware working ??thinking

Definitely not working for any company, and I have developed many Android ROMs and never had this problem. I've been here since 2005, for crying out loud. This is my first Samsung ROM, so I admit to being new there. I will even accept your "stupid idiot" comment, as I guess I deserve it. Although, I wonder why 150 people have downloaded it and only two or three people that I can see have been bricked. Something must connect those with issues. We need to find what it is.
Also, I am happy to pay for the de-bricking of those who are legitimately bricked i.e., followed instructions, have a receipt from JTAG, or whatever it is). Just PM me.

steve, please pass the words came from reaction, it was chock as you seen. sorry for harming.
iam in middle east and not confidant to ship my device to unknown address because he mentioned in web page that he has solution, i mean JTAG and its not subject of who to pay steve.
supposedly that web site is true, and they didn't mention that they will change any part of device, what they will do to fix? the problem happened because we flashed non compatible files i think.
let us figure out the problem and try to find solution. right?

Absolutely. I understand. I have gotten into many messes since i started developing, and know that panic. I just need to know everything you.and the other user who had this problem can tell e about your device so i can find out what the common denominator is. So, confirm it is the wifi and 3g version you are using, and what build you are coming from, if you would. Are you using a sim card? Have you tried pressing power and volume up for a while? Thanks. Also, does your tablet feel hot at all?

Well I used yours as a base, just chopped the usual crap out, resigned, flashed, everything seemed OK. Initiated reboot, bam, doesn't turn on.
Charged all night, tab is hot along left edge, so I'm guessing still charging. 8600.

let us exchange the ideas
first we need to get the device powered so maybe remove and return battery could do something?? but how?
any external way to use it throw usb slot while charging ?
I would try pulling the battery but have no idea how to get the case off.
Steve, just wondering out loud whether those who have the hard-brick issue be because there are on pre-production hardware, so they have a slightly different hardware SKU. Hence your ROM does not work for them.

That seems to be the case for one of them. I am not positive about the others. I am having a hard time getting people to just tell me what build they were using prior to the flash...There seem to be 3 people who have had this porblem, and there must be something linking them, although it may be something random. Need to figure it out.

I came from P6800ZSKL2. Dont know if it was from the very first production line, but judging by the quality (i bought three, all with crap displays) they probably were.
Also, i believe the device is on and trying to unpack something because it is indeed warm.
This of course means that there may be hope of getting into download or recovery yet... i will drain it for 34 hours and then attempt to turn it back on.

For the record hard bricks on the Exynos 4210 will occur generally in one of 3 ways:
1) Mis-matched boot.bin and sbl.bin
2) Incompatible boot.bin and sbl.bin combo
3) Invalid PIT file flash from an earlier generation TAB or Galaxy S device
Anything else causing a black screen is simply hardware failure.

Samsung galaxy light (cheap lte on tmobile USA)

I have not seen much about this phone. It's a cheap ( no exact price yet) small sized phone to test out tmobile's lte if you want to think about switching away from big V like me.

1.4ghz Quad core with 1GB system memory and 8GB internal storage. It also has an 1800 mah battery and microsd.

Now $149. I'd grab it if I could root it. Zero development on this device and this is the only thread even discussing it. Shame but not surprising. You're almost better off to get an old phone that has plenty of options than a new one with none.
Sounds very interesting. I hope it will be released in Europe soon too.
I've read that that it reaches an antutu score around ~17000+. First an only 4'' phone with a quad core at the moment.!
But, does anybody know if it has a light sensor to adjust the brightness automatically?
Lol some guy wanted to trade me the Light for my One S...
Seeing that its pretty...new and no dev'ment yet, its a no.
Thats the same exact reason I got rid of my ol Boost Mobile LG Venice.
Besides, I'm not a fan of mediocre carrier service.
It sounds appealing though, i mean 1gb ram tied in with quad core, clocked at 1.4GHz not bad.
But its using TFT screen technology sized at 4 inches, a 5mp cam and a 0.3mp front. What sort of odd combo is that?
At least they should have given it an AMOLED then maybe the miniature screen would make some sense.
If you ask me, its like a merged Galaxy Prevail and a Galaxy S. Good for those who want something cheap yet preformance
worthy (I guess) but for a quad core device, ratings for it on many review sites are depressingly low. Hey at least it
has NFC, but still all that preformance on a TFT screen will make playing games feel like your on an older device.
I think the screen alone was a let down for me.
It does not make my list, nor capture my attention. My guess is, NAY.
I just got this phone. Any clue how to root it? I don't want to brick it following the s4 method.
Does anyone know how to network unlock this phone?
I just got this phone before leaving on vacations and can't seem to find a way to network unlock it so that I can use it outside the U.S.
I have tried all popular unlocking methods for S3's and S4's but none seems to work.
There is another thread about rooting this phone, but noone has figured out how to do it, just yet. I guess the new kernel is causing some issues. Anyway, the other thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539232 I will be picking this phone up as soon as I am able. The small size and the quad core and the speed is also what I have read. As I am not a gamer, the screen is fine. LTE and NFC are features I would use. It's like Samsung figured out that if a user isn't gaming, a big high-end screen isn't as important as speed of connectivity. The gamers have the S4. The rest of us get the Light.

There is one. Stock, but debloated and optimized. I have not tried it myself yet, as I don't have a 2nd phone in case things go awry, But it looks very promising.

Mine is rooted stock and I agree, Lightwave looks nice. The price at t-mobile just came down and I suspect Samsung will be ending the Light and releasing something of lower quality. You can't beat 4 bucks a month. Snap it up while you can.

So I was going to try the LightWave ROM but I have some concerns... Is this going to lock my SIM out, and keep me from accessing my network? Because,I also do not have a second phone to goof off with this one, and if I brick (or worse, get locked out of the data network)I'm screwed. So does anyone know if this locks out T-Mobile's network? Thanks in advance!
On an irrelevant side note, if anyone is using a stock (w/root) ROM and are tired of TouchWiz, I actually figured out how to dump it! There is an app in the Google Play store called "System app remover (ROOT)" and all i did was looked for touchwiz in the app and deleted it. Sorry for rambling.

I can't guarantee you won't brick your phone. Nobody can guarantee anything when you start flashing things. Once you have TWRP though, it's really hard to screw things up irreparably.

That's dangerous. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but if you must, always do backups first.

Really sick of the blue screen of death on this thing

I know a bunch of people have had it but am hoping new firmware will fix it because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it or warranty work through Samsung. I've tried all the hints and tips...have not rooted it. And I have the P907 AT&T LTE version.
I get that every time I play a game. Checkers. ...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's a faulty part. Doubt your going to fix it with firmware.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Can you guys post a photo or at least a description how does the BSOD look like in your case, when does it happen and what happens after that (ie. everything gets back to normal after a few secs or you need to reboot or it reboots automatically...).
To be honest: I have P905 - absolutely the same hardware and a little different firmware - and never experienced anything that might be called a BSOD....
Mine would blue screen and restart after about a minute. Sometimes I would have to do a hard reset but usally it would restart itself. After it would happen once it would happen every few minutes.
It's not the exact same hardware. The AT&T version has the 4G hardware that yours doesn't have or doesn't use.
Samsung fixed mine and said it is a part the grabs updates from AT&T. It was unable to update and that is what was causing it to blue screen and restart. Strange because even when I shut off the data it still blue screened but whatever they replaced it is defiantly fixed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
I have the att version. I'm rooted and stock firmware. Never seen the bsod. I bought mine day one.
Drew489, I wish it would be a software issue too but I'm thinking it is a hardware issue. Been looking at forums lately and a lot of the SM-P907A's are experiencing this BSOD. Everytime I'd have to go to recovery mode in order to restart the tablet or it wouldn't turn on at all. I've had it happened 3 times in the past month since I've owned it. It was usually when I was playing clash of clans or watching a video. I've tried clearing the cache (BSOD once after trying that) and then finally doing a factory reset as recommended by the Samsung technicians. It hasn't BSOD since I've did the factory reset but right now I'm trying to do a firmware restore through Kies. If this doesn't work then I'll be sending it for warranty repairs.
I got the P905 so I'm not having this problem, but.. Have any if you tried checking any logs if they can tell what's causing freezes/reboots? If one could find out what's causing it, maby someone is able find a way to fix it?
I sent mine back they replaced the lcd...blue screen hit me today again. .I am calling tomorrow to send it back again. .. never again will I buy a Samsung tablet

You do realize this is a problem that only occurs on the P900 and the AT&T version, and not a generic Samsung problem? Not a single P905 is afffected.
It's like saying 'I will never buy a Toyota, because one type in France had problems with the brakes once.'
Wow you made zero point again.. Sorry I was busy responding to your first reply before you edited it... Toyota and brakes??? What do u smoke??
I don't care about the Wi-Fi version this is a issue I had for awhile.. I wrote the original post in general months ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/general/wth-blue-screen-fade-to-black-t2856774 You trying to sum it up the way you did makes no sense but to use your logic. If I was to buy a toyotta and had brake issues and they refused to fix it for me , being a manufacturer defect. Then wouldn't I be a fool to continue purchasing from someone that does not stand behind there product???
Now I admit my response was somewhat knee jerked but I am fed up with owning a high end tab I can only use when the tab allows me to before it goes blue.

You do realize this is a problem that only occurs on the P900 and the AT&T version, and not a generic Samsung problem? Not a single P905 is afffected.
It's like saying 'I will never buy a Toyota, because one type in France had problems with the brakes once.'

How is the P900 not a generic Samsung one? It's WiFi only.

Because not all Samsung devices use that particular chip.
Exynos and snapdragon are not the same

So just to be clear, you are saying the Samsung Exynos chip is not a "generic" Samsung ..... Using the Qualcomm chip makes it a generic Samsung? I suppose I can understand the logic since Qualcomm is the dominant chipset, but when I think generic samsung I think pure samsung which means exynos in my mind.
Either way I want these random reboots to stop.

I was refereeing to the fact some uninformed people seem to think the Wi-Fi version and the att version share the same chip set. They do not... I didn't refer to anything being generic.. I stopped the reboots after I rooted by installing xposed and downloading a Samsung reboot module. I can't remember the name off hand... I think it was actually for the s4 but works with our tabs..907a

Yeah, when I updated the ROM I totally forgot about that setting in Wanam Xposed. I just checked it a few minutes ago and here's hoping this is all it was. Of course it'd be better if Sammy fixed the bug in the first place and we didn't need Xposed modules to solve the issue, but I digress.

Yup but Samsung has a bad habit of abandoning tablets software wise, once it's out it's out. Given the carrier devices are more of a piston because I think the carrier dictates updates
