So phone worked fine running AOSiP current Pie then out of nowhere when I would reboot I'd randomly get a blank screen. Adb and fastboot commands still worked and eventually, after a few attempts it'd boot normally. Then the other day, after running great, I picked it up and was froze at the lock screen. Now every time the screen times out it freezes at the lock screen and can only be unlocked after a reboot, if I don't get the blank screen that is, and only right after booting but if the screen times out at all it freezes. Also, mic quit working for Google Assistant and voice to text in Messenger. Once unlocked everything works great, except the mic issue no freezes or glitches. I've flashed back to stock all the way back to the last Oreo updates and even ran with no restored apps or data and these problems exist each and every time. Any ideas?

Hi,
I just installed firefirefire and TWRP then CM7, it boots fine but as soon as it gets to the home menu it stops responding completly and not always consistently in the same position, sometime none of the apps load and other times they do, but always on the home screen it becomes unresponsive, has anyone else had this problem?
EDIT:
also have a log .... but i cant post it -_-

tl;dr at the bottom
Alright so I'm out of ideas on how to fix this phone, couple of days ago my mom came to me complaining that her S5 was giving her trouble. When she handed me the phone, it was in a bootloop of showing the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen, playing the theme and vibrating afterwards then rebooting. I took out the battery and tried to power it on, it ended up successfully booting into android. So from here, I figured there must have been some malware on the device, I downloaded Malwarebytes from the Google Play Store and ran a scan on the device. However in the middle of scanning, the device turned off it's screen and rebooted. (Malwarebytes found 2 malware on the device at that point) So now I'm convinced it's most likely malware and eventually removed all the detected malware on the device. I gave it back to my mom thinking it was fixed.
Moments later she came back saying that it's still giving issues, my first thought "wdf, it was working wasn't it?". I looked at the phone again, and tried to wake up the device using the power button. The 2 soft keys at the bottom lit up however the screen was still black. At this point, the phone was still working fine, the only issue was the screen wouldn't wake up. So I decided to do a battery pull once again to reboot it and it results in the bootloop once again. I did some googling and found various solutions to this, one of them involved wiping the cache from recovery, so it tried it. Booted into recovery and wiped the partition cache (i think that was it), after it wiped and was about to reboot, I noticed a brief "error icon" just before it rebooted. After this point I could not boot into recovery at all (it would just show a black screen and I would assume that the phone turned off) and it was still in a bootloop. It was only after trying to turn on the phone after trying to boot into recovery that the idea of the phone wasn't off and the screen was just black entered my mind. (Because usually if the phone is off, you can turn it on by holding the power button, the phone would not turn on until after a battery pull)
So at this point, it was late at night and I was tired. I left the battery out and just went to bed. The next day I tried to turn it on again and to my surprise it booted up fine but I was skeptical. I had a theory that the device would work fine as long as the screen remained on, so I set the screen timeout to 10 minutes and kept it on for probably 30 minutes while I continued to google. Since it stayed working during that period of time, I thought perhaps locking the device triggers the issue. I turned of "Power Button instantly locks device" and proceeded to turn off the screen using the power button. When I tried to turn it on, it was back to the same problem (black screen, device is working fine, soft keys lit up). I did a battery pull once again in an attempt to reboot and now it was back to problem #2 (boot loop, can't enter recovery). At this point in time, I considered doing a factory reset but since I couldn't enter recovery, I'd most likely have to re-flash the stock firmware.
Since I didn't have much experience flashing android devices (I personally only flashed 2 or 3 devices ever, all of them were successful but I still didn't really trust myself), I had it sent to a local cellphone company and had them try to fix it. Eventually I got the device back, but they were unable to fix the problem (they tried to flash a stock and custom rom). Now I'm back to square 1, the phone is still in a bootloop, no sound, no vibration this time, I don't have much experience with phones since I've only owned 2 in my life. The phone seems to be soft bricked pretty good, I've still got 1 more trick to try (full stock firmware flash) before I call it quits, any ideas?
tl;dr
- device is stuck in a bootloop (issue 1)
- i was able to enter recovery mode once, now it's not accessible
- download mode is accessible
- the device has been able to boot successfully a couple times, but then it has another issue.
- device's screen would not wake up after turning off, softkeys still worked, everything else still worked. (issue 2)
- the device was sent to a local phone repair company to fix (unsuccessful)
- currently device is stuck on issue 1
additional notes
- device has not been dropped or wet
- device has been owned for more than a year without problems
- this problem was recent (3 days)
- no sd card
- dark screen was turned off
theories
- screen could be malfunctioning or defective somehow, but then if it can show the bootscreen and download mode screen fine it seems unlikely also since it's been working fine for over a year
- it's a software issue of some sort, but has already been flashed by local phone repair to no success, then again I'm assuming they just did a basic recovery flash and called it quits
Hello, recently I've encountered an issue. After flashing a google experience rom, I started experiencing minor screen flashing issues, the screen went black every 5 minutes for a second or so, after a few days it doesn't turn on. When booting into TWRP or Fastboot everything works fine, no flickering is showing up. Flashed global rom an hour ago, wiped everything including vendor. The setup did not have any flickering, but when I got into the home screen the screen shut off. Seems like a software issue to me, not a hardware one. What could be the solution?
My Note 3 has occasional problems during boot and consistent problems during lock screen.
Occasionally during boot instead of seeing the Samsung logo during startup the screen becomes pixellated and unchanging - i.e. a bunch of random pixels. The phone continues to boot up otherwise and the OS works. To buy-pass the boot problem I need to take the battery out of the phone for about 2 minutes (or more) and it would normally boot fine after that. When it boots up I often see a part of the screen momentarily go pixellated before it starts the usual boot loop.
When the devices boots up fine lock screen has problems. When I turn on lock screen the screen remains black thereafter and soon reboots.
I have SM-N9005 with LineageOS 18.1 +microG + Magisk. I don't think the problem is due to LOS because boot problems existed in the previous OS (Android 5), and lock screen problems occasionally came up. I hoped installing LOS will sort out the problems, but alas... I have tried using an app called Wakelock v3 to sort out the screen lock problems in the same way as for Note 4, but the app seems to have made no difference. Since installing LOS I have not had a single successful lock screen, with or without the app.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Flash stock rom via Odin and test .
Hi! I have an S10+ Snapdragon, I bought it a year ago, the firsts weeks the phone worked perfectly, but as time passed, the phone started to reboot suddenly, no matter what I was doing, sometimes playing music, watching videos, or chatting in whatsapp or telegram. Then, I don't know why, the phone got bricked, got stuck in the boot animation and it only started in recovery mode, I made a factory reset from recovery mode, and the phone started only in safe mode. I took it to the technician and he flashed it with Odin and the phone worked again, but still with the sudden reboots.
Few months later, the phone got bricked again, it got stuck in download mode, with the message "hash of data does not match digest in descriptor" in the top left corner, another technician said me it was necessary to change the "motherboard" of the phone, he changed it and the phone worked again and still with the sudden reboots.
Sometimes the phone reboots completely, sometimes it reboots from the end of the boot animation and sometimes it seems that the systemUI restarts because the screen gets black and I have to unlock the phone with my pin again but the apps processes still running normally. Once, the phone rebooted and it got stuck in the lock screen, I wrote my PIN and the phone got back to the lock screen again, and so on... I have to reset it from the recovery mode and it worked again.
Nowadays, the phone stills rebooting suddenly and any app stops working anytime. I've noticed that when it reboots, the middle left side of the phone heats.
Someone knows what can be? Thx in advance for reading and for any help
