Screen Issue - Occurred again

I've got a very strange issue with my note's screen, which just occured when I was on a call.
As soon I removed the phone from my ear, instead of turning back to the screen, it kept black and (mostly white) pixels appeared on the screen. However the phone itself was still responding to commands.
Restarting has resolved the issue for the time being and I just wondered whether this is a software issue (using CheckROM) or if it's a hardware one?
---------------------
Update
The issue occurred again. I've posted some photos in my latest post

Had a Problem like that appear randomly to me too, it didnt happen to me again though and i was using stock rom too, but if this problem is continuing then respond on the checkrom thread and explain the problem there. As u have a note, try making a screen shot if it happens again with your s pen, if the screen shot looks normal then its your display having issues, if the black screen with the white pixels appear on the screen shot, then i guess its the roms fault

Issue just occurred again!
This time it happened after installing Darky Note ROM
I took a screenshot and it looked absolutely fine.
I've attached some photos of the phone when the issued occured, notice how the screen gets brighter.
Could this be an issue with the display driver in the ROM, as if it was a hardware fault, shouldn't the screen be like that permanently?

it is definitely software.. darkyrom is copy of check rom

I've cleared the data and cache in Recovery and reflashed the file, yet the same issue keeps occurring.
It seems to be happening everytime my phone goes to 'sleep'

is it also happens on stock rom or any other roms if not then its because of rom

Hi there, I think it's a problem related to the kernel, not because the rom itself.
I had that problem, related into another thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494555
solved by flashing another rom at first, but when changing the rom, the problem came back.
Today I just downloaded another kernel and that solves the problem.

Thanks alot.
What a relief it's not hardware related
btw. What Kernel are you now using?

Wired grey rectangle

Today I noticed that if I slide my finger from the left side of the screen to the right side, a weird grey rectangle appears for 1 second. I first saw it on incoming call while trying to slide my finger to answer. I didn't install anything new and I'm running the xperia z1 stock rom.
What is this?

It's a grey bar , I would suggest backing up your phone and repairing it with pc companion, I have never seen that before, it almost looks like the grey bar that appears when you scroll all the way to the left in the apps menu.

hi,
i've noticed the same issue in my phone!!
did the backup and repair with pc companion solve the problem?

For sure is an Software failure and I never saw this before too so you can make also a Factory Reset or Repair the phone with PCC. In one case or another should be gone.

Thanks for your response.
I try with a task killer app and when i kill all of them it disapear and after a while its coming back.
How can i identifie who is the bad app?
I don't want a factory reset because my phone is without root so i can't perform a good backup.
To repair with PCC will not erase my data?
[I came from galaxy S1and S2 all the rooting operation and rom installation were far easy than here, and without bugs(like the camera in the z1)]

This is tricky because if it's some app on your phone probably you can uninstall that app or update that app to avoid this issue. So in this case even if you make factory reset or repair with PCC you can still have the problem. I don't know how patient you are but the best way is to find first the app which cause the issue and then we can see what we can do. With task killer you kill the apps which you selected before, when the phone go in deep sleep he kills, so probably you should switch off the task killer and stop the apps one by one and see if anything change on your screen. Stop one app and go to see the screen, and again. All like that.

Issue after root

After a year using my Z3c, I decided to make root... I made it yesterday, now, when I woke up, suddenly my status bar started dropping down automatically... Is it a coincidence and I won/got a "ghost touch" or the root has something with this problem?
Update: 14:25 Brasília
Now the touch on the top, where the status bar is localized doesn't work anymore...

Try flashing the stock ROM to your device and see if the issue persists,if it does then your screen is broken.
If the issue is gone try rooting your phone again and see what happens.

But is this issue caused by the root or it is coincidence?
Sorry bad English.

I cannot answer that as I said to find out you need to flash the stock ROM,if the issue persists then it was a coincidence and your screen is dead

S10 Random reboot problem.. :crying: hellllllp

hello guys
I have an issue on my S10 and thats just rebooting randomly, even sometimes when im not using it and its standby on the desk.
i search about it and saw someone elese have same problem, so i want to know what is the problem and how to fix it.
i found someone who fixed it with some solution at this topic but that is not my phone model :crying:
i just change my android version to 10 and its not fixed..
i tried home csc and csc files and even tried pit files too..
please hellllp
thanks

Did you try a data factory reset? It might be a hardware issue, I would take it to a local repair shop or contact Samsung on it.

get the factory firmware from sammobile.com and flash it in Odin. be sure to factory reset from within the settings first or the FRP might crop up. This is the nuclear bomb method that 99% of the time fixes any glitches caused by software. You might have a hardware issue, but this will help rule that out

I had this issue with rooted Android 9, too. But it it very strange you get this problem on Android 10 because the kernel panic problem is fixed there. When you are not rooted, you should not have this problem anyway. Try restore your software in Odin like the other users already suggested.

Please let me know if this has worked for you. I'm having a similar problem that only started when i updated to android 10.
I have a totally stock, Verizon S10. Never had a problem with it on 9. After updating i started noticing after about 8-12 hours phone starts getting very sluggish, gets hot, has trouble even doing processor intensive things like opening camera and taking a picture without it crashing back to the OneUI launcher. Launcher would show up blank and take 5-10 seconds to restore my icons and widgets. Lock Screen lags really bad and face rec hardly works if at all. Phone gets really hot and if i look at the CPUs (Antutu BM) they are usually all maxed out.
A reboot fixes everything and then it will be fine again for another 8-12 hours and then, like clockwork, it starts up again. I've done a factory reset with data restore. Didnt fix it. Did another one without data restore and it is still happening. Would an Odin flash be different than a factory reset from the settings menu?

I think I may be onto something. Do you have any battery monitoring apps? I had Accubattery, better battery stats, and gsam battery monitor installed. Gsam and BBS had battery_stats permissions granted via adb. I was beginning to wonder if they were causing some kind of memory drain so I wiped their data and uninstalled them. Immediately after that I rebooted and after 46 hours of uptime there was absolutely no problem. Phone flies and runs cool as ice.
I'm currently installing them one at a time and waiting 48 hours after each install to see if and when the problem comes back.

And I'd just like to add that when my phone starts acting up it gets worse and worse to the point it won't even unlock and go to the home screen. Then it will actually reboot itself. I assume it panicked because it just doesn't have enough ram to complete any tasks.

so maybe its about the battery for you? btw my problem still alive

Guys, I got the same problem, did you guys find a way to fix it? Just realised today that even the system data, i.e fingerprints have been corrupted, what exactly is happening and how to fix this, it has been driving me crazy for the past couple of months.

Question mi 11 ultra keeps freezing

hi,so i got my phone with china rom which the seller bootunlocked it and changed it to the offical global rom like 6 months ago and from 3 4 weeks agao im facing a really bad problem,before that i got the problem that i tapped one time and the device would think i've tapped 2 times and it closed the app,i thought it's because of the screen protectors.but from 3 weeks ago i'm facing these real problems:
1-phone suddenly freezes for 3 or 4 seconds then it's responsive for like a second and again till i close all apps and then it gets a little better but after i restart which sometimes leads to a boot loop, it doesn't get smooth and normal, even after that,after some time like 30 40 minutes it freezes again. even the keyboard freezes.
2-if the freezing continues i get a "---- app is not responding wait close",sometimes the miui system shows the same error but if i click on the wait it wont crash or such, it justs behaves like it was before showing the error.
3-sometimes after the restart the battery percentage is shown 0, which i'm pretty sure it isn't. upon restarting again the problem solves.
4-sometimes in specific applications my tap is considered a holding and shows me the holding menu.
5-sometimes i get glitches and lines in some parts of google chrome webs which fades by just scrolling,specially if a video is playing on the web page.
the phone didn't got any physical damage in the past.
i've tried these but no avail:
1-updating the miui
2-disabling virtual extension memory
3-factory reset
4-flash and install the offical rom which somehow lead to a bootloop.
5-flash and install the xiaomi eu stable rom which didn't go on a boot loop but the freezing continued
6-flashing and installing the official rom which this time didn't got stuck in a boot loop but right after booting showed me the "miui is not responding" but i setuped the phone and it sill got the freezing problem.
i used multiple benchmarks and even filled my ram with some app to see if it's the stress leading to a freezing but all the scores were perfectly normal even for storage and ram and the phone wasn't freezing during the tests and benchmarks
sorry that the text got too long but i'm really desperate.

Try in safe mode to rule out a buggy 3rd party app. Run for a day or more.
If it fails that it may be a buggy system app.
Otherwise it may be a hardware issue.

so i entered the safe mode but it's a black screen with the text : safe mode under it .then it went to booting itself with some vibrations and the non ending mi logo on the screen.

Sounds like the firmware is corrupted. This normally shouldn't happen.
Possible rootkit, a hardware failure or perhaps a single event upset hit the kernel or bootloader.
A complete reflash (impossible with a locked bootloader!) will purge any malware, remedy a SEU but not resolve a hardware failure.
Make sure all critical data is redundantly backed up now. It may crash and burn at any time running like that. Not good.
Return for warranty repair if possible.
That's my take on it, someone more familiar with that platform may have a better plan.

For the latter a different rom may work if it bypasses the damage.

See my previous edited post. The issue may be the bootloader has been corrupted and/or a hardware failure. You're in way deeper than I ever had to go with the firmware on an Android.

Not if it's locked. Someone may know how to unlock it here, I do not. That may not be the issue though or the root cause... You're welcome but I'm afraid I wasn't much help.
Try some Google searches for that manufacturer and devices with the same issue. Add xda to the searches to search XDA, that works better than the XDA search engine.
