[Q] Help! Screen went grainy on start-up

Can someone help me?
My second time flashing my SGS and it was fine after that (Was even re-installing all my apps back in). But I forgot to plug in to charge the phone and when I woke up this morning, it was flat obviously.
So when I turned on the phone, i noticed that there is a grainy multicolour lines on the screen before it goes to the SGS logo. The same lines will also appear for a second after I key in my sim lock code.
Something similar happened before and all I did was flash the phone again. But this time it didn't work. Still having the same problem.
I was flashing the stock ROM I9000DXJV9. I can't put my image up since i can't link my twitpic (any idea how).
Thanks for any input.

[Q] Samsung Note 2 stuck on strange screen. Pls Help.

Helo Forum,
You must have noticed I'm a new member. This forum came highly recommended by every site and every other forum I had visited in search of a solution to my uniquely strange problem. It amazing what wonderful job you guys are doing solving people's problems for free.
Phone status: Samsung Galaxy Note 2, upgraded to android 4.3, rooted but not yet flashed a custom rom, hard reset a couple of weeks ago.
Without warning, my note 2 started acting up. I picked it up after an hour of receiving a call only to notice that it was stuck on the samsung logo screen. Prior to that, I can confirm that I did not tamper with it in any way. I turned it off and on again, this time around, all I could see is a screen filled with strange tiny ash colored horizontal lines from top to bottom. It simply got stuck on this unresponsive screen and refused to boot any further. I turned it off and on several times and even pulled the battery several times but there was no change. When I connect it to a pc, it appears as "local disc Q" and when i try to open it, I get the error message "Access denied". I also tried a hard reset using the volume up + home + power on several times, not a single change was noticed. I've attached a picture of the strange phone screen.
If anyone has encountered a similar problem or if anyone has an idea of how this can be fixed, and kind enough to take me through the step by step process of fixing it, I will be super grateful!
Pls let me mention here that my IT skills are not very advanced, so please use simple terms. Let me also apologise if it turns out that a similar thread has been posted on this forum, I searched but couldnt find any with my kind of problem before I decided to post.
Here's my email: [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

It seems to be a hardware problem rather than a software one
Try taking it to the service centre and get your motherboard fixed

Can you boot in download mod? Its showing any image? Or only this? I mean if you can see samsung logo or bootanimation maybe the problem its software...
If you can enter download mode and you can see any image...in your place I will flash a new rom using ODIN.
Saludos! And please let us know how its goes.

Thanks guys for your prompt response.
@Cocolopes, I cant see anything but the unresponsive weird looking screen. Every effort to clear it up has failed so far. The phone has refused to respond to any command including volume up + home + power. Not even a sound. Like I said in my earlier post, it started with the appearance of the samsung logo which refused to go away, so I pulled the battery and then this weird screen appeared.
@jay5204.abd, yeah I also suspect it could be a hardware problem but I always choose to make the service center option a last resort. I prefer to share with wizards in the forums first, just in case someone had experienced a similar problem and solved it.

Galaxy s4 freeze when tapping the backside

Hi! English is not my primary language, so please bear with me.
I got my hands on a broken galaxy s4 (shattered screen). I replaced the screen but now I'm having a very wierd problem. The phone works like it should but if I take it and "gently" tap it to the back of my hand, it freezes and after a while it shuts itself down. Any tips where I should start looking? I'll post pictures later and try to explain the problem and what I have done trying to fix it.

Galaxy S8 screen/display issue

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S8, i've noticed some screen issue, especially in dark places or at night. The screen is showing weird color on the top. Check the pictures attached and let me know what do you think.
To check if you have the same issue with your phone, you need to increase the brightness to the max, turn of auto adjust brightness, and check your phone in a dark place

Erm
Just do a screen print and attach it.
takes few seconds on mobile to do.

dial *#0*# and do color tests, if it fails I would return it.

How can i show u the picture?

Hi
Green spot at top of screen
could he be referring to the iris scanner ?
Trev

No... these spot are showing on the screen starting from thr top

Upload the picture to a image hosting site and put the link in your post.

Same problem with green here

Same issue as the pic ? and can you tell me the source of the manufacture?

I had these for like 2 seconds when I just started setting up my phone, then I never saw it again.
So it might be a software image processing glitch.
Tried a factory reset / changing the color mode?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Screen Frozen With Multicolor Wallpaper and 3 vertical Lines

My wife has the Duos S7 Edge international version and she got a prompt for a software update last night. She upgraded successfully and then couple of hours later, her screen just displayed this multicolor image with three vertical lines going across it. I have tried doing a hard reset as well as attempting to connect to computer - but no such luck. The screen stays on with the multicolor image displayed. I charged it also thinking it may be out of battery but no luck in recovering the phone. I am attaching a screen image in the hopes someone can tell me what is going on. I called Samsung tech support and the clueless tech person told me to take it to Best Buy and have the Samsung Mobile person there look at it. I thought of posting here first and hoping someone can help me out. THanks

Can you go in to recovery by pressing power+home+vol up? If u still can, try formating and clearing cache, obviously that will wipe all your data, if u still have that same thing, doenload the latest firmware in sammobile firmware, look around for firmware tab and go search and type in the model no.u have wth ur edge.u should see the most recent one and flash it using odin..hope that will help
