Screen Issue - Flickering screen after 15 mins of use.

Hello,
I have my Galaxy tab 10.1 for 3 or 4 months now, and since yesterday the screen started to flicker. I noticed that if I turn the screen off for like 10 minutes and then turn it on again, the flicker disappear, but starts again after 5 mins of use. Seems that the most the screen remains "on", the worst the flicker gets..
Anyone had this issue? Know a soloution or I will have to return it?
Thanks!

Definitely a hardware problem. Send it in for service.

mine had similar problem, a visit to Samsung service center and confirmed by the technician it is a hardware damage.

What is the problem ?
My tablet swtiches on just fine . After around 5 minutes , the display becomes fuzzy garbled shaky , like some interference is happening . Looks like the problem is hardware ( as I tried reset / ice cream etc ... ). I think its something about the heat sink or some kind of CCFL problem.
Will this require replacement of the LCD Panel / Display ? I am worried if the Samsung dealers would actually find the exact cause and replace accordingly ?
I dont have a warranty so if it involves a LCD replacement , then I will have to shell as much as a half a tablet . Also if they need to give a guarantee if they fix something ... I read about a person who had the same problem .... and the issue reappared after fixing it from Samsung centers in India.

If you're on a custom ROM, then it's just the ROM, your tablet is safe.

I had the same issue today with my tab. Other symptoms were that some programs were fine, my RAM was maxing out as I watched, and Tibu said I had 8Kb of system ROM free (i.e. it was filled completely).
I killed a few system apps, deleted, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and rebooted. Fingers crossed, but working now for a few hours.

Spoke too soon. The flickering came back. It flickers for some apps, not for others. And I get a perfect screen in portrait orientation, but problems in landscape. I think I'm going to wipe and start over. That way, with a clean stock, I can tell whether the problem is hardware or software.

Service centers didnt take it in India
I went to Bangalore service center but they were reluctant to offer any support.
I will try another service center though .
The problem is hardware as I tried ICE cream and stock rom both ... having the same problem .
I dont know what to do ? What can be reason for the screen to become fuzzy and unclear after 5-10 minutes ? Something to do with the heat ?
Mu hunch is 1) Something is getting over heat and causing the LCD panel some problem .
2) LCD Panel is getting heated too fast . CCFL ? I dont know what to look for .
Any advices ?

I've managed to stop the flickering display.
1) Toss the AP widget in the trash
2) Toss the AccuWeather widget in the trash
3) Get rid of the default Samsung apps & widgets
4) Set the task killer to kill them any time they start
5) Change the wall paper to something lower res

It is a hardware issue
Samsng allowed extended warrarny period and asked me to ship the produt back to the US . So I am going to do that now .

Hello,
My Gtab 10.1 just started doing this a week ago. I have been using a custom ICS rom (task 650) since I purchased it, and I had no problem with it until last week. It does exactly what you guys are saying:
- it works fine for the first 10 minutes, then starts flickering
- the more you keep it on, the worse it gets
- it works ok in portrait mode (most of the time with little flickering from time to time)
- it works fine for some programs, and flickers like hell in others.
I tried the following without any luck
- cool it down (put something freezing on its back)
- shake it
- installed several custom and stock roms (although I didn't find the exact stock rom for my model --> p7510MA as written on its back).
I have no warranty and I need to know if any one managed to know what the problem is... may be I can buy a replacement part from ebay and save some bucks.

Defy touch screen partly not working

I have a green lens defy which was running cm7.2 stable. Earlier today i opened it to see if i could get rid of a crackling noise from the earpiece. I opened and closed up the phone and the crackling stopped however the bottom half of my screen started giving trouble.i can control the top half perfectly but the bottom half keeps behaving like im touching and leaving the phone so when Swyping i get it as if ive tapped multiple letters rather than drawn a line across them. Ive cleaned out the cache and even gone back to stock to no avail. Ive done the obvious of reopening phone and checking the connector between the digitizer and the circuitry but thats fine. I removed and inserted it multiple times with no change. The bottom half seems to pick up taps properly but no drags and all drags that are picked up are pick up as horizontal lines. Ive even adjusted the digitiser connector while the phone was powered on to see if it was a loose connection of sorts but to no avail. Contacts and the like are clean. Warrtny expired 10 days ago :/ . Any ideas?

you must change the touch screen ok ,there is option to reassemble ok .iam also having this trouble in touch screen ok .i changed the touch screen in moto service centre ok.it cost 3500rs

I have the same problem in red lens
Hello, I had the same problem with one red lens, the touchscreen was broken and replace it (only touch unframed), then manually pasted what the problem started exactly at the top, I thought it was spoiled (badly damaged pegadao ) and change it again, but still the same, so I thought some of the software and did everything and nothing, now I buy a touchscreen with frame to avoid having to manually paste if that works. What do you think? What do I do?

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.

Ive ordered exactly the same thing. Mine got lost in transit so i just ordered another. it could take a month to reach but ill let you know what happens for me.
Let me know how yours goes.

Black screen with date and time in GALAXY S4

Hello all
Today I started experiencing a problem with my SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT-I9505.
I must say first that I did not do anything to him today or any other day in the whole month I he is at my reach.
Today when I took the phone from my pocket to see something I saw there's a black screen with time and date and the signs of battery and reception with no availability to do anything with him.
I took off the battery and it came back to normal but then again turned to that screen. I made a factory reset through the settings and it seemed to help for a few hours but then it came back. Now I'm with that black screen and can't do anything.
I must say that sometimes the black screen goes off and my original screen comes back but it comes back.
I disabled all the sensors and the option in Settings which refers to S View Cover (I understood from googling it that this screen shows up when I have S View Cover - which I don't have! )
What should I do? This phone is a new phone - I had it only for a month (and a bit more)!!!
PLEASE HELP ME
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM
Edit: Here's a photo of the screen

Nothing magnetic. It happened when I took it from my pocket and in that pocket I had only my wallet made of leather closed (no coins or credit cards popping out).
Please help!

[Q] Strange Screen Issue: Is it the end?

So i've had my Nexus 4 for just over 2 years now. It's stuck by me through thick and thin, i think this might be the end though.
Anyway, so i picked the phone up at around 2 am this morning, it had been working perfectly all day up to this point. So i picked it up, the colours on the screen are a bit weird. I change what's on the screen and the colours remain weird, so i do the standard thing of a reboot to see if that clears it up. This is where the big issue comes in, when the phone turns on again, there's a 1 cm wide black bar on the left side of the screen. Nothing appears to affect it, but sometimes it randomly appears greyer than others.
The rest of the screen has the same weird colours as it did before i restarted, kind of muted, and moving light areas on the screen (like app icons) makes bars of lighter colour move across the screen with them.
If i didn't know that the phone hadn't been dropped i'd be saying that the screen was just broken right now. But i flashed CM12 (was on the latest PA beta) and when the phone was restarting the whole screen flashed working for a split second before going to its broken state again. This hints at the issue being software related, especially given that it initially happened with no physical damage occurring to the phone? When thinking about this, the colour issue reminds me of what happens when you installed CM11 with the wrong kernel and it looks messed up...
Anyway, I think my phone is dead, and i'm posting here in case someone has some genius idea as to what on earth killed my phone.
I'm pretty good at doing stuff with the phone, so can flash and install whatever, hindered only slightly by missing 1 cm of the recovery menu. I would take pictures, but normally i use my phone as a camera and...... If any more info would be useful then please ask!
Thanks for any help, ideas or input in advance!

New Note 3 screeen showing unusual behaviour

7 days ago I have purchased this new note 3 N900 , the screen today is acting in a weird manner.
Here is what happened, I switched on the phone and then there was only the wallpaper and a dark triangle on the right side of the screen, I rotated screens but the thing remained the same, that is only the background with a dark triangle on the right side of the screen with a little flicker so I had to restart the phone.
Now it's working fine, please suggest should I get this phone replaced, is this some kind of hardware issue.
Also I had purchased a cover for the phone which was actually very hard to remove and I applied a lot of strength on the right side of the screen to get the cover removed, can that have caused the problem.
Also is there any app which I can use to check is there is a problem with the screen or not.
Thank you for your time, please give your valuable suggestion.
I'm running stock android 5.0 the same software that came out of the box.
The screen roughly looked like the image attached below -

Forgot to mention above that earlier I also had this issue where the all apps button on main screen turned to blue while everything was working fine and won't change to normal so I had to restart the phone again in that situation which did fixed that problem.
Would it be possible for someone to clarify that is this some kind of problem cause due to applying excess pressure as the Urban Armor Case I have purchases was really really hard to remove so I had to apply a lot of strength on the right side of the screen, it was so hard to remove that even the official back cover came off with it, can that have caused the issue or is it just a software problem.
