I have bought used Droid 4 and during couple of days screen flickering appered.
At first i thought, that is caused by incompability betwen ROMs and Apps. I tried couple of different roms but problem remains.
Currently i am using CM11 nightly from may.
I think that cause of this is broken flex cable. I would like to ask if my diagnostic is correct, before i start to order spare parts.

About 2 months ago I was drunk and fell down with my phone in my pocket. I cracked the screen and that seemed to be the only damage. Touch screen still worked fine.
I had just gotten layed off about 2 weeks before so I didn't want to pay the copay/deductible whatever you wanna call it to get it replaced for just cosmetic damage.
Well not too long afterwards I realized my phone wouldn't mount via usb and I had an odd issue of when I slid the keyboard open while with an active text entry box the leeter 'x' would appear.
I upgraded my rom and both issues ended up disappearing (although they didn't appear with the same rom for weeks until the incident). Well now with cyanogens latest rom the problem with the x appearing is back. No one has mentioned in any of the cyanogen threads the same problem.
So basically, without trying to clutter his thread, has anyone else had similar problems? To me it seems like it is just time to pay for drinking too much and get it replaced, but if its a certain problem that happens randomly I can still deal with just some cosmetic damage.
I had the problem running cm 4.2.1 and now with 4.4 it seems to not have the issue anymore. This is just messing with my mind, I can't tell if it is a hardware issue or rom specific for me. No one seems to have the problem but it comes and goes with the builds I use.
Have had my Note for almost 2 yrs now, rooted many times. Had the motherboard replaced and currently on extended warranty.
Problem is I have been experiencing sleep of death (phone randomly turns off). There is no frequency to this SOD. Sometimes it happens everyday sometimes in a few days. I thought maybe its a fault stock ROM so I rooted and flashed a custom but the problem is that the problem still exists.
So my question is do you think that the new hardware is causing the problem? If yes can i get it replaced since I am on extended warranty? Ofcourse after unrooting and going back to stock.
But I fear that they will just send it back incase they dont see it happen

Hello.
I used to share the same SOD problem. even though at that time my device was still brand new with 4.0.4 ICS. When I went to CS to complain, all they did were a factory reset. After just 1 day, the problem came back. My wife who bought the same phone also experienced the same problem. we're at loss that time and I even considered selling it. But one day, my device heats up so much that it spoiled the speaker, and I furiously went back to the CS and really gave them a piece of my mind. They replaced the broken parts and also gave me a new battery. ever since then, no more problems.
In case of my wife's, the SOD persists untill I decided to flash her a custom rom Ultimate JB and combined with speedmod's and the problem disappears.
What I was trying to say is, it's possible from the hardware AND Battery (as in my case) Or also from ROM/Kernel Related problem (As in my wife's case) Hers still have SOD's but after a few battery cycle, it srated to lessen n lessen n it hasn't happened in the last 6 months. (Ours also almost 2 years)
Recieved my mi5 yesterday and used it for about 15-20 minutes (just playing around with MIUI), turned the screen on and off multiple times but suddenly the screen wouldn't turn back on I rebooted the phone (hold power button) but nothing happend when turning it back on.
the capacative buttons and charging LED works as well as volume up and down (I can hear the volume change sound). After about 4 hours it suddenly worked again and I thought it was fixed (it was not), I booted into fastboot and unlocked my device but when I try to turn it back on the screen was dark again, and after several hours it still doesn't work.
There are other people with the same problems but I don't think anyone has been able to fix it.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, did you fix it? I thought I'd should mention it anyway.
same problem..no FIX !!
Few months ago I also received a 32gb device and had exactly the same issues you mentioned. First with MIUI and locked bootloader, then unlocked and tried 3 different Rom's, MIUI 7, 8 and Lineage OS. No difference.
IMHO a common hardware issue on some devices, mine has a LGD Display. Meanwhile I got another one, which is working fine, but have this faulty one still here, for spare parts right now
Would help if someone could state whether this issue is screen or motherboard related, so I could maybe replace parts and use or sell.
Sometimes it went completely off, no capacitive buttons, no volume sound, no reboot possible. But battery not empty. Had to disconnect battery or wait one night until it would respond again.
Also observed less black screens in warm surroundings, had more problems being outside in winter.
yesterday my mi5 died with this problem...
hope the warranty over tradingshenzhen works fine...

Want to share following with people who experienced also blackscreen issues with Mi5:
lately needed an identical Mi5 device to recover some apps from another device and decided to try with this "damaged" one from last year. Fastboot flashed Miui9, then wiped, installed latest TWRP and LineageOS 15.1. Did my backup/recover tasks. Then I just kept using the phone, because I was curious how long it takes until the blackscreen issues would appear but they didn't.
Device is working without any screen issues now since a week or so Seems like new firmware has fixed something, at least for my device.
Hello,
I have had two replacements of motherboards (done myself pretty perfectly) on my Xperia Z1 C6903 , purchased either from Ebay or Aliexpress. Both of them started exhibiting same behaviour after some usage (original one and first replacement), that they lose the touch screen/digitizer functionality. The LCD and Touch digitizer is perfect, however it refuses to work with the board. I have tried changing the flex cable an of no use. Maybe during the fitting of the flex cable clips there could be a damage to the pins on the main board. I still have the two boards with me and I tried cleaning and replacing them again and again but of no use.
It is surprising to see that two boards exactly ended up with the same problem. I have now got my third board and it is working fine for touch screen but giving me GPS troubles. I use the GPS regularly on my commute, however the google maps or sygic constantly keeps giving me a message of GPS signal Lost , intermittently and frequently . Have tried all known solutions of clearing the GPS cache from service menu and so on. H
Hence i need to know from the experts:
1. Is there a solution for touch screen problem to be fixed, maybe a software glitch (i didnt update the software anyways since I was using the last version of Dstrikerz ROM).
2. Any solution to make the GPS work stably, have opened and double checked all point/pins/contacts on the body and mid frame which supposedly could be the GPS antenna or cables.
Thanks for your help
Hey... I have the following problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1p8uxZnmA8
Often when I am charging my phone I have this Issue with several adapters, cables and so on. I have tested a lot and already did two RMA... they changed some back cover part and the mainboard. issue is still there and I dont have more ideas.
I already noticed that some others have this problem too. But what could it be?
Now im testing an older Stock ROM (release 02.2017). Someone have any idea? Could this be a Software (kernel) problem?
