Hello,
I have an interesting screen problem. When i want to open the screen lock, i can't, i have to wait avarage 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds the phone work fine. I trought different roms, and kernels, I installed the original 2.3 but problem is same. I thought this is a screen problem, so i bought a new touch screen, and i hoped is gonna work, but
the problem is still same.
software or hardware ? any idea ?
should i buy a Touch Screen Digitizer ?
If it doesn't work, just flash stock and send it to LG for warranty repair or something. If this can happen with multiple ROMs, then the phone is probably defective.

Hello,
I own sgs for 6 months now. a few days ago a certain spot on the screen (where there are the letters "q" and "a" on a keyboard) stopped being responsive. I can't press neither "a" nor "q". The phone hasn't fallen and hasn't been harmed in any way.
Any ideas what can cause this problem and how it can be fixed?
I tried different ROMs - the same problem in all of them and in all types of keyboards.
Thanks a lot for any help!

You've tried stock ROM/kernel, right?
Try playing around with the touchscreen test (dial *#*#2664#*#*) and check these spots.
But..
Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Time for a warranty exchange?
Thank you for your quick reply !! I tried the test and indeed, the line doesn't go all the way to the left side of the screen. The x axis stops at 66, while at my wife's galaxy s it goes all the way to x=10. The problem is I don't have a warranty, and changing the screen is expensive
Search on ebay.I've seen galaxy s screens for $30.
If i were you, I would send my phone to warranty repair.

The thing is that I bought the phone in France - at The Phone House. I took it with me to Israel. Now, I contacted The Phone House, and they are not willing to accept it for repair by mail, nor are they willing to send it back to me after the repairs. So I am kinda stuck with the warranty I can't use
Contact Samsung direct.
Ok, to put it simply my phone has this problem...

is there anyways this can be fixed? I mean I'm willing to tear this phone apart. Like changing the motherboard and all that. Anything.

I had that problem and ATT changed out my phone. Since then it has run perfectly. You don't mention what OS you are on but failing with ATT my only suggestion is at least get to some version of 2.3
I run Legend 4 with Corn 7.06 with no problems. If it still shuts down at least you'll be doing with a nicer ROM!

This is what I get for buying a phone off of eBay. I usually never buy from eBay for this exact reason. I am so stupid.
I guess I could try flashing a different ROM, I currently have the Dark Knight ICS ROM but to be honest I don't think it will help. Thank you though for your reply.
Try checking with Samsung. A 10 minute call on a device I bought off of ebay got me a prepaid shipping label to return it under warranty. Since that is a known issue, they may fix it out of warranty also.

Yep. If they're willing to fix it (probably just replace it) then you will need to return it to stock.
Hi
Quick question. I don't know if anyone experienced that with Xperia T. I seem to have the same problem with it as with previous X8 and X10. Screen stays blank after switching on. Just backlight comes on but nothing else. Touch panel still responds as it should but no information visible phone is kinda useless. Just wondered if anyone knows how to fix this. Would it be hardware problem which seems to be going on for quite a while then in sonys mobiles or is it just software glitch? I would buy new screen but not sure if this will fix it.
Phone is updated to latest available firmaware. Done it yesterday with SUS.
Thanks

First I have heard of this probelm, so it sounds like just you.
Use PCCompanion to fix phone.
HAve you flashed anything to the phone, have you rooted it, have you unlocked bootloader.....

PC companion stops half way through the process. I've used the other standalone sonys update service to upgrade the phone which has done it no problem but still nothing visible on screen. Only brightens up slightly when switched on but nothing whatsoever visible.

Hi
Sorry, forgot to add earlier. No, nothing was done. No bootloader unlocking, no rooting, no other flashing. It just happened when I switched it on couple of days ago. I did have same/similar problem with X10 some time ago but along with just backlight on the screen (nothing else) but phone was in boot loop at the same time. This one just stays on for whatever time you want it and you can hear sounds and feel vibrating when using touch panel. Just trying to determine if it's something simple like faulty lcd (not cheap at all thoguh) or even if I splash out for a new lcd it will not help.
If you have not flashed anything, take it back to the shop for a new one

Hi
Yes I did. Fitted new screen! Only £160 pretty much the same as new phone now.
Was your phone damaged in any way (spilled water on it, dropped it)?

No man, she just was charging it up, then she plugged it out, and after that it was working but with the screen off , so is it a hardware problem and not software problem?

In my case was hardware. In yours might be not. I'm not that much of an expert so my only suggestion would be to do hard reset. Did you try that? Hold power button for about 15-20 sec.

Hello All,
My OB is bricked, i was flashing it with smartflash tool and installing official lg optimus gb image, but suddenly it was bricked. Now it is not starting, not even in download mode, no signal of power.
Any ideas?
It caused bcoz of loose cable connection.
While flashing any ROM, cable should have intact connectivity..

Probably a hard brick, bring it to a lg service center. Tell them you tried to update your phone and all of a sudden the update stopped and now it doesnt react anymore.

In case of hard rest, as N00BY0815 said, only way is to take the phone to LG service center, but you have to take precaution regarding:
Take out the memory card and keep at ur home, in case you rooted the phone, otherwise they will know that U rooted the phone and reject the warranty.
i dont think rooting is against warranty everywhere does your pc recognises it when you plug it in while holding p
volume+ ?

He already said, it doesnt even turn on in download mode, so there is no chance to revive it. LG will not know, if it was rooted or not, since noone can turn it on and check it. So just do what i told you above and everything should be good again

This is software error not hardware error. They can't charge you buying new free software.
If its hardware error, in this case, then the problem is not caused by the root and they can't reject warrenty (at least in Europe, I'm pretty sure in most places they'll get away with it.)
EDIT
@Nooby
If they can't access it through new bootloader they have to use JTAG equipement and then you can read and write to flash memory.

I have not much knowledge like xonar and N00BY0815,
Maybe they used JTAG or something ..bcoz at first they try to know whether it is rooted and non-rooted to get reject the phone here.
At that time, I contacted the most senior developers here in XDA, they also suggested that there is nothing to do if the phone is not turning on, & take it to service center...(the case is of LG P500)
That's strange. When I hard bricked mine, they kept my phone 3 weeks to finally say that it was the motherboard which died (I flashed a P990 rom by mistakes, it was for a friend but I forgot it in my sdcard).

11 days ago i installed cm10 nightly 11-14-12 after using the rom about 4 days, suddenly while charging my phone turn off and didn't turn on again. It can't enter sw upgrade. When i send it to the lg service center they said that it was a motherboard problem and need to replace it. It cause P9,000 (about $214). What the F**K! The brand new Optimus black here cause around P13,000 ($309). My warranty is already expired so i decided not to replace the motherboard and wait for the release of nexus 4 here in my country.
That time i'm using blackberry charger 5v output. Do you guys think that the hardbricked has also something related to the charger?
Hi there,
so for a few weeks now my touchscreen hasn't been working anymore.
Power and Volume buttons are working fine.
At first i shut my screen off again and again until i the touchscreen responded.
But since today I couldn't get my touchscreen to work.
The touchscreen also doesn't respond in TWRP Recovery.
So does this mean that my touchscreen is defect?
It never fell down the glass is not broken. The problem occurred suddenly.
I am rooted and my bootloader is also unlocked.
I am on Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 N.
Fresh Rom installs didn't help sadly.
For now I am using my phone with a mouse via USB OTG..
I hope that someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Your digitalizer seems to have defect, try to give it to some repair shops to have a check.
