Need some help with a phone. The ATT S6 boots up, the animated Samsung logo displays, and then the screen jumps to the WiFi off/on screen. It looks a lot like the setup wizard with the Next > button in the lower right. Clicking Next does nothing.
Shutting it down using the power button doesn't do anything either. I have to do a soft reset, but it just goes back to the WiFi screen and freezes. Doing a wipe on the device is not an option. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix the issue?

so all of a sudden my cdma heros touch screen got messed up. I tried restarting the phone and where it used to say android at the boot screen is just a blank screen now. It does restart but i am stuck at my lock screen. If i touch my screen at all it freezes up. I cant even click one dot on the lock screen. I can receive calls but the screens blank and my hard buttons work. Also i cant go into recovery and i tried wiping my storage by holding the home button and back key but when i go through with it, it does not hard reset and all of my settings are still their an i get stuck at lockscreen after restart. can anyone please help me out?
I did a factory reset from the settings menu and and while it was reseting it randomly turned off. I thought that means it was done and I needed to start it back up. After I tried to press the power button I get no response. A complete black screen and not even the M logo. I tried charging it overnight and it still has a black screen. Any help please?
Edit: Apprently it works now right after posting on XDA...
Hello all,
I got this phone about a month and a half ago, and since I got it I've noticed a lot of freezing and crashing (more so after the 5.1 update).
Some examples:
-I try unlocking the phone from active display and the screen goes black. The only way to get out of it is to hold the power button to restart.
-Sometimes the phone freezes on the lock screen randomly, and when I pick up the phone to look at it, the time is wrong and I can't physically unlock the phone, only turn the screen on and off, leading to me having to hold the power button down to shut off and restart.
-When on some apps, like twitter for example, the phone freezes, and I cannot do anything except turn off the screen by pressing the power button. When I try waking the phone, it stays black or sometimes theres a flash of the screen I was on before, and then it goes black again. Only thing I can do here is hold the power button down until "Power Off" shows up on the screen, and I press that to shut the phone off.
Today I cleared the cache, and since then the phone has froze once, causing me to do a hard reset. What should I try next? Any idea what the problem could be?
Thank you for the help.
I have pretty much the exact same thing going on. It started last night... I first noticed I had some charging issues where the phone wasn't charging very quickly after the battery died (after a day of heavy use). I let it sit for awhile, then it booted up, and it showed the motorola splash screen. It gets all the way to the lock screen, although I'm unable to unlock the phone. The screen goes dark. It appears to still be getting texts and the like- although this screen blackness issue makes it so I can't unlock the phone. The one thing I can do is hold down the power button and turn it off. I've tried loading fastboot and doing a factory reset, although nothing appears to happen and it boots the same way. The other thing about it is that it appears to be running hot- way hot. Any ideas? I'm running stock rom, Verizon network, just updated to 5.1 when it came out last week.
A strange occurrence happened yesterday with my Galaxy s6 from T-mobile. It is stock, unrooted, and on latest release. all of a sudden, the display screen went into monochrome (black and white ) mode. Battery was at 44%, so i dont think it was due to power saving. I also connected charger to further charge it. After some minutes, i turned it off, and restarted. While restarting, i can see samsung logo in color, and lockscreen was in color for few seconds, and then display immediately went mono. after few couple of more reboots, i wiped the cache in hope to clear any issue due to any app update. but still the same result. Then switched from Nova launcher to Touchwiz , but still the same even after one more reboot. So, i thought the phone may have become defective. Then , after a while, just pressed home button few times trying to unlock the phone, and this time, the screen came back to color!!!!
Has any one ever experienced this? What could be the cause? Software or Hardware?
ok, finally figured out what happened. There is a "Accessibility" menu, and one of the "direct access" shortcut is to make the screen grayscale, for whatever reason, that shoutcut key was checked. once you press home key 3 times in succession , that feature will be enabled.
Tab s2 8.
Was using practically fully charged tablet one minute, went to use again and screen black.
Back and task switch buttons still light up when press power or home. Plus volume up/down makes the louder/quieter beeps.
Power and volume down gives me the quickest flash of the samsung and android boot logos and then screen black again. Makes the email received notifications you get when restarting the tablet.
Is basically on but just no screen. But screen still functional enough to briefly show boot logos.
Any thoughts?
Update. After about 30 mins of faffing, magically returns to life. Any thoughts on common issues that might have caused? Indicator of something about to go wrong for good?
Put down gently today and the right side of the screen displaying flickering dark/black stripes. Left side of screen perfectly fine. Touch still works over the whole display. Any ideas? Internal cable come loose? Or something more terminal? How easy to check/fix?
