hello there, i recently dropped my s4 active on the ground and afterwards the screen became unresponsive. i still can hear myself receiving messages and the notification light still works. the first thought that came to mind was that the display connector might have become detached from the mobo? ive tried to boot into recovery (vol-up + power + home) a few times and it booted ONCE and stayed on for approximately 10-15 minutes. is this a sign that it could be a loose connection to the mobo? im going to order the appropriate screw driver and see for myself definitely but i was wondering if it would be worth flashing the stock firmware through odin. has anyone had any issue like this before? any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

Hey all!
About a month ago I rooted my G1 for the 1st time via the 'one-click' recovery flasher method. I successfully rooted my G1 with the CyanogenMod 3.6.8.1 stable build, and then also successfully updated to 4.0.2 via the Cyanogen Updater. However, after about a week or so I made the fatal error of holding a glass of water and my G1 together and the inevitable happened... my beloved G1 in said glass of water! It was only about 80% in and only for a few seconds, and when I quickly took off the back cover etc it really didn't seem too soaked, water was in there but not a lot. It visibly seems fine (water hasn't got to the screen etc). After drying the best I could, I tried turning it on again, and managed just about to get it fully loaded before failing. Since then I think it basically goes into a boot loop: It goes on the G1 logo then after about 30 seconds a quick vibrate and again into the G1 logo (and repeat to infinity). I know there are certain things to try such as pressing home & power, or cam button & power etc but I don't think these work because as soon as I put my battery (and spare I've tried) into the phone it immediately powers on. This isn't normal is it? Surely you should have to press the power button? So because I don't have to press power to turn it on, I don't think these safe mode type boots work (I've even tried for example, holding down the home button then putting the battery in). I don't know if I am in a simple boot loop related to a rooting error, or if my mobile is simply knackered due to the water exposure!? It's been a couple of weeks now since the accident and I'm stumped
Any help, or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!

You might have tried to turn the phone on too soon. You should have let it dry out for 24 or 48 hours before turning it on. Then there are methods of putting the phone in a bowl of rice to dry it out and others. But you said that holding cam and power or home and power don't do anything right?
While i was upgrading to froyo 2.2 which was released here in india.
the downloading took some time like nearly 30-40 min then suddenly the
Screen changed to PINK color.
i was terrified.
Then pressed buttons which displayed a small PICTURE saying no connection between the phone & pc.
And the kies gave a message that it has to start recovery process.
it said
1: remove the battery
2: get into recovery mode by pressing power key & volume down & home key.
3: now again connect the phone through usb.
now again during recovery it stopped at point and blue bar is appearing as if 30% is complete.
it is not going any forward.
please help me guys what to do......
please
Put the phone again in download mode and reflash
Pink screen problem
Hi
I've had a similar problem with my galaxy s, all the whites now appear pink. I change the entire front with another galaxy s but same problem.
My screen works fine in other galaxy so it can't be a screen issue, cos the other screen is pink in my phone.
Any ideas as what the problem could be, have checked and rechecked all the connections, factory wiped the phone 3 times but with no luck.
Anyone experience anything similar or even have a resolution?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
The issue seems to be with flashing roms, rather than screen problem.
Why not try re-partition with ODIN? see if that helps?
Hi Guys,
I have a frustrating situation whereby my Galaxy Note powers on but the screen appears to be in permanent sleep mode - I get nothing but black on the screen.
You can here the Samsung chime as the phone powers up, I can adjust the volume button and hear audible tones. I can also call the mobile from another phone so the underlying phone/OS is working fine.
I can also connect the device via Kies USB and copy images/music with no issues.
I have tried removing the battery and replacing, I have also tried giving the device a full charge however I still get nothing on the screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to perform some kind of hardware reset to get the screen to power back on? If not I guess i'll need to return the unit
p.s. Stock Galaxy Note
Thanks v much
Jeremy
Same problem for me , i have test many ROM and kernel but i still get the black screen. it's generally when i haven't use my phone during a couple hours.
Same issue here. The screen remains black and not responsive to front button or power button. I still am able to hear notifications (e.g. calendar reminders, plug in power, etc.).
Long press of power button to reboot is the only solution I have found in order to clear.
First occurrence yesterday after owning note for 1 month.
Second occurrence today.
Stock device. No root. KL7.
No newly installed apps prior to first occurrence. I will cross-check to see if any apps updated yesterday.
I have also disabled Green Power.
guys i have been owning note since past 45 days
and suddenly i faced the same problem today
when phone is in sleep and i receive a notification and press the home button
to wake the phone
i see only a black screen with a minute pink dot at top right
and the phone wont respond
however pressing the power button it brings the menu to switch and etc
so i can select power off and then again switch on the phone
guys this is frustrating
please help
Hi all.
My note was replaced yesterday.screen now turns on fine however I'm greeted with a lively green hue and banding! Ha
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Hi all im really looking for some help before i give in and send my for repair. I have only had it a week and earlier today it suddenly stopped working but just before it did it said the xperia home has stopped and then the phone went off and wouldnt turn back on. When i finally managed to get it to come back on i get just the sony logo then a blank black screen with a backlight on and nothing else this then loops back into the sony logo then the blank screen. Iv tried charging the phone. Connecting to a computer does not work as it cant recognise the device. (otherwise i could have reset the phone). Iv tried volume up and power get the three vibrations then it ends up doing the same thing when i switch back on. Then volume down and power while plugged into computer but the green light comes on for a brief second then goes again. Im really baffled as to whats happened and any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post
Hi all,
My Galaxy S5 has been a real bear lately. At least once every single day, the phone completely locks up. Usually it's with the screen on, but other times has been while the screen is off and I can't get it to turn on. The weird part is that if there's an animation on the screen (like the battery charging animation), the animation still plays but everything else is just stuck. The only way to fix it is to battery pull or hold down the volume down + home + power buttons and force it to reboot.
This happening every day, at least once if not more. I've flashed different ROMs hoping that it was just a ROM that was the issue, but it doesn't fix it. When I flash the ROMs, I make sure to wipe everything except the SD card so it's a very clean install, but alas no bueno.
I'm about at my wits end and ready to go to the AT&T store today to turn in my phone and get a Nexus 6 or Galaxy S6, but thought maybe someone here may have ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it.
any help appreciated - thanks!
