Galaxy S2
2 months old
no custom roms and not unlocked
no problems prior to this
On 3 network
assuming the issue is a screen related problem:
The screen at first was flickering bright lines on and off in random positions and also the lower segment of the screen would be black and not visible.
Then within about 30 minutes of this happening 90% of the screen has been black, with just the notification bar visible.
Bringing you up to date on the situation now. The screen is completely black but the device is definitely still on and fully working as I have received 2 text messages in the time of writing this and also I was able to press the camera app and auto focus and take a picture and view it on my laptop but the screen remained black the entire time while i did this.
Not sure what to do with the phone as I'm unable to reboot in recovery mode or restore to factory settings.
I will be going into the three shop now and seeing if they can replace the handset.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated
I gave a NookColor to my oldest son 1 year ago, which was rooted & had CyanogenMod7 on it. The other day he said he was booting it & he pushed some buttons while it booted & when he did the screen turned green. It has never been dropped & he has never had a problem with it before this. You can see the icons, fonts & it still functions properly in all other respects...the screen is just green. The screen is also green during the CyanogenMod startup screen, then it goes black, then is green again during the CyanogenMod boot animation. I can tell that the screen is working normal, as it is lit up & black when it is switching between the boot screens.
I have spent many hours searching the net & cannot find this problem ever happening before. How can I change the background back to normal? Is this a hardware or firmware problem??? I have taken it apart & unplugged & reseated the video connector, just to be sure that that wasn't the issue & I've tried putting different Roms on it, including the new CyanogenMod10 for NookColor & it still has a green screen. I even restored it back to Stock & the screen looks almost normal, but when I played the Introduction video, the video doesn't look like the colors are right or something.
Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is even fixable?
Someone...PLEASE help!
Thanks!
Similar Problem here, except half of screen is green.

I have a similar problem, except only half of my screen is green. The half that is green remains in the same place, regardless of orientation, so I am guessing this is a hardware problem.

My experience is similar, except obviously I have half a screen of odd looking video and half normal. I also tried reverting to the stock rom, but with no success. Fortunately when reading books, i.e. just black text on a white background, the effect is not very noticeable, so the NC is currently back to being an ebook reader.
Still I'd love to know how to fix it. I see powerbookmedic (I have no connection to, or experience of, them) sells used parts for the NC, but is this a display problem, which seems likely, or a logic board problem? Buying both would be more than the whole thing is worth.
During the first boot screen (the one where "Samsung galaxy S IV - I9505" is displayed) there is a vertical green line of pixel in the left of the screen who runs across the entire screen from top to bottom.
It disappears immediately after during the boot animation from my carrier and it never appears anywhere else when using the phone. Besides that everything is working fine and I haven't got any issue with the phone, no dead pixels or other problems I can think of.
I'm just wondering if it's an hardware issue and I should be worried about it and change the phone at the shop or if it's just some weird kernel bug who could easily be fixed.
I could already have checked by installing another rom but I don't really want to tinker with the phone because of warranty issues...
My phone carrier is Orange France.
I think it's bricked because it just shows the startup screen with rainbow colors but i've been waiting close to 15 minutes and it hasn't done anything.
hey, this morning I went to grab my phone and my screen was not working! however in download mode or on boot up the screen does come on just as regular but when the phone finally boots up the screen just goes blank but the phone acts as if the screen is working, I've tried factory resets and flashing old firmware such as Android 5.1.1 Android 6.0 and 7.0 please anyone who can help let me know immediately, thank you!
Hi, I have a Galaxy A5 2015. Sometimes when I wake up the phone, The screen glitches (Color is messed up and there are lines). But when I press the power button and wake the phone again the screen is back to normal. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks. Note: The glitch is hard to see because of the wallpaper color. Will send a better picture
