I own a Samsung S3 Mini bought from Bahrain. It is an awesome device with a beautiful display. But its touchscreen stopped working some time ago. I was using a fake back cover. I performed lot of reboots and then factory reset as a last resort. Still it didn't work. As I reside in India and the device isn't on sale here, I couldn't get it repaired. So I stopped using it since. Now I tried the original back cover and it started working!!!....but only for few days. Then now again it works fro some time then goes off and so on... Is this an issue with the temperature or with the back cover?? BTW I got it tested by my uncle in Qualcomm and found out the hardware to be fine. As I have factory reset the device, it can't be software problem either(?).... Someone please help me...

Hey guys I need some help I have a new phone with original htc rom but with hardspl and .05 radios. This morning I turned it on and used it for about half the day this evening when I went to my room to shut it down and plug it in the touchscreen would not respond. I soft reset the device and removed the battery and then it slightly worked but was very sluggish and unresponsive compared to how it normally is. I looked to the unlock button on the loading page but was unable to find it. Any help you guys have would be great. Thanks
Have you tried hard resetting your device?
yes I have tried a hard reset but it is still not working. Any other ideas
Anybody have any advice I mean I don't think it is hardspl or the radio as I had been using it for a few days before it broke it is really erratic after talking to HTC they said if I can send it in to the people I bought it from requesting a replacement for a defective unit as they have a 14 day no questions asked return policy which is why I bought from them.
Hello there community,
A few days ago my touchscreen just stopped working on my Touch Diamond, i tried everything to get it to work...
Updated rom with new firmware from the HTC website, did a soft rest, hard reset but it did not help
I hope maybe someone here had the same problem and solution for this, otherwise i have to RMA the device.
Thnx for any help
Hi Xnergy, have you got your Diamond repaired?
I am having the same problem on mine...
I had this also.
I did removed a battery for a whole day, like 24 hours, after that it works again!
Do the hard buttons work? I had something like this few times, as far as I remeber after removing battery for a moment it worked.
This happened to me in a few weeks ago. The touch screen either would not response, or that the alignment needed to be adjusted a few times a day. In the end, I send it in to the HTC service centre on 30th March. They replaced the whole touch screen, and courier it back to my office on 3rd April. The touch screen is working like brand new now.
yeh mine did this but i noticed tht if i keep the phones touchscreen worm abit it will function ok, gunna send it in to coz its starting to drive me up the wall
I am the happy owner of a newly Galaxy Tab
and am subject to a rather annoying problem!
Once my tab in hands, I undertake a full exploration of the unit
and all tests relating thereto (installation of
various programs, GPS, ...) Everything seems to be perfect!
But ...
I continue my tests and installs a game, known as
compatible with Tab (Angry Birds), the installation
goes without problems.
The problem arises when opening the game, screen
remains as frozen (freeze?) and reboot th Tab after
few seconds ....
It happens the same way on all the games
I have tested!
In wanting to see my pictures taken with the camera,
unable to open the gallery! The screen also freezes the Tab
!
I fear a hardware problem on my tab and can already imagine
having to return to the SAV
Has anyone ever encountered a similar problem with
Tab or its there a suggestion to solve this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
That both sounds very annoying as well as a problem I haven't personally heard before. I'm not sure, but you may have a faulty unit.
I'd try a factory reset. Go to Settings>Privacy>Factory reset and wipe the data. It will NOT touch your sdcard. See if it works. If not its the Tab it self.
that problem my friend, you are 1 of 25 lucky people out there with Hardware Faulty chipset. Some friends works for Best Buy and local cellular shops, are getting similar problems. No one know exactly why the problem happens.
I would just bring it back to shop you purchased and ask for refund NOT exchange. Cause exchange are likely to get one of few similar problem devices.
First of all, thank you for helping me to solve this problem.
At begining of story, when i first have my unit and discover this issue, i've tried to do a factory reset and a data wipe but nothing better ..
Then i attempt some flashings on the unit, i tried different firmware (JJ3, JJ4, JJ7, Roto JME, Roto JMI) but problem remains the same.
Like Chainfire, i think of a faulty unit.
I'm currently under JJ4 and don't know what was the initial firmware on the unit when i bought it, do you know i will have some problems if i bring it back with another firmware to the shop ?
Don't know aout your particular shop, but when i had a problem with my first unit here in the UK, i took it back to tesco on RotoJMEv4
Got another new unit and walked right out of there with no probs
Yeah just tell your problem then leave it there, they don't really check.
I had a similar problem with my I9000, it was rooted with custom ROM but they just took and it and fixed the problem... well in your case they will just replace it most probably...
You right, spandsbab ,
i decided to bring it back to my shop and they gave me just another, working one.
All is working great on this one
So I got my Z3C about a month now. 6 weeks ago I thoughed my phone broke, suddenly it was dead. It looked like it was bricked, but I didn't do anything with it. There was no charging light, no fibrating on a hard reset, nothing. There was not even a connection with the adb.
So I send it to a repair point and they fixed it for me. I had no idea what that do, but I was happy with it.
Yesterday it happend again and I was pretty angry. A 3 month phone broke twice! I contacted the store, because I want a new one and not another repair, because i have no faith in another repair.
Now here comes the thing. Today I tried my phone again and suddenly it was working again.
You might think I should be happy, but I'm absolulty not, because now it is hard to prove there is something wrong with my device.
I suspect the repairpoint didn't fix anything, because it was working again at that point. So they just did a factoryreset
Has anyone experienced something like this or has any clue what the problem is?
Thanking in advance.

first of all you should make it clear If it s software problem (which level of software) or hardware
to get this u can Repair Xperia firmware by PCC to install fresh firmware
after that if problem remains u can be sure that problem is in hardware and ask for replace
in repair center they may just install new rom and return it so just ask for replacement
:good:
I k now this post is a little old but I have the same problem. After 6 weeks of flawless use my Z3C suddenly died. Nothing would bring it back to life. I spent several hours on the phone to sony support to no avail. We tried numerous manual and computer related fixes to no avail (including flashing a new stock rom which didn't work because no phone could be detected). Finally the tech gave up and said to return to return it to where I bought it. I was in the process of doing that when suddenly the phone worked again when I pressed the power button. battery charge was showing as 74%. Unfortunately I didn't do a factory reset while I had the chance.
This afternoon I didn't use the phone for 3 hours and now it's dead again. Nothing will wake it up again.
To me it sounds like a hardware fault, not software. This is a near new phone. This shouldn't be happening. I've searched the net and found numerous others having the same problem and in every case it has resulted in a replacement phone. Unfortunately my phone seller is a long way away. I guess that will teach me to buy local and pay and bit more.
Any suggestions please as I'm desperate.
I'm also in the same boat where my g/f Xperia Z3C just died and unfortunately the phone is out of warranty as it was a grey import and not local Aussie stock.
I have tried everything to get it working. When it does switch on it doesn't last more than a few hours before it goes back to a permanent coma.
I've wiped the rom and started from scratch when it was working with the Sony Xperia Repair centre but with little success.
I was left with little choice but to take it to a repair centre to find any faults with the hardware but I'm not feeling that confident they can fix the phone without replacing the whole board which isn't worth it.
Same thing.
Hello,
Today my phone shut downs itself and i realized it after 2-3 hours.Can't force reboot with volume up + power or the yellow button near the sim slot.Also no leds working to confirm if it takes electricity or not.My phones screen changed about a month ago due to having volume changes in 3.5 mm jack while listening music.Funny thing is i gave my phone for that same reason 8 months ago and they did not changed the screen and when i asked why you changed the screen, the lady said because 3.5mm jack is together with the screen(which i do not believe).I am hoping for device to wake up like jesus...
Edit: Does android have a log that reports every incident like windows does?If so how can i access it to see why my phone decided to die and ressurected by itself?I can't get this device to technical service cause it is fine now but i want to make sure it does not happen again.
I've had a galaxy S6 (not an edge) for about a week and a half now, it's worked flawlessly until 30 minutes ago. I have not dropped it or gotten it wet. The touch screen just started having a very hard time registering any inputs. The reactions are extremely delayed and it only registers maybe 1 out of every 5 touchscreen inputs. The hardware button inputs still work as normal. I've powered down the phone completely as well as rebooting it but nothing changed. I've closed all running apps as well. I'm waiting for the battery to die and then I'll let it charge. If all else fails I know I can factory reset but I'd prefer not to lose S-health info. Anyone have any experience with this or tips?
EDIT: And a factory reset didn't help. Looks like I'm off to T-Mo tomorrow.
Sounds like a broken digitizer . Take it back to the store.
I had the same issue with one unit, it was mostly noticeable when the phone was flat on the table. Ended up exchanging it for a new one. Thank God it happened early enough for me to be able to return it for a new one.
Thanks for the replies. I contacted T-Mo last night. A new one is being shipped to me.
Try the charger
