[Q] Galaxy S screen keeps blinking?

Hi, my SGS is working fine all the while. But sometimes after i unplug the power adapter upon fully charge, the screen keeps blinking in the way like loading home(loading icons)->black screen->loading honme-> black screen->.....
it repeats for very a long time, even if i manually screen off then unlock the screen, the blinking problem still repeating. Until i reboot the device, it works fine again... Happened once in the middle of playing game, it suddenly 'jump' to home screen and the blinking problem begin
Wonder if this related to system crash and cause home screen keeps loading on and off or hardware problem... did anyone experience this?

I've never heard of this before. To diagnose whether it's a hardware problem, your only bet would probably be to flash a clean firmware. Maybe someone will have heard of this though.

thx mate for suggestion seems like its only me having this problem, so far has been flashed 2 custom roms, and problem persists, i think need to flash it back to old GB stock rom to compare it.. sadly warranty period has expired, hope its not related anything with hardware issue..

Try a stock firmware, that should tell you whether or not it's a hardware issue. If it isn't, it's probably kernel related. Hopefully you can figure it out!

i have got the same problem too.. =(( how to fixed it.. the screen keep blinking...

Flash stock firmware . Then if its fixed pls report here.

I've flashed from 2.1 to 2.3.6 and still it's blinking
Does anyone know how to fix it?

same issue
hi,
i have the same issue as well with 2.3.6, BaseBand version I9000XXJVU.
It is not a stock rom and it started appearing just a few days ago. It happens when i plug to charge it and after unplugging it. I have not noticed when it stops.
A friend of mine has the same issue, but with 2.3.4 stock firmware, so i think it is not firmware related.
Any new info on this? what could i provide for further troubleshooting
Main issue is of course that it drains the battery quite much and also allows you to mistakenly unlock the phone when the screen is on, so i was forced to put patter or PIN lock.
Cheers...

If you have ChatOn app try to uninstall it. Did work for me. (I my case the issue appeared when the internet was accessed via any browser. Same blinking pattern though)

Three random issues - Has anyone else experienced these?

Background info: I've had my Xperia Z1 only for two to three weeks now. I've been enjoying every part of it, but I've come across three particular gripes I have to mention.
First, random app crashes. One time the Album crashes, the other time System crashed. It appears to be random, not based on anything you were or weren't doing at that moment. I don't think I'm the only one with this though.
Secondly, and here's where it gets weird: my on-screen buttons disappeared. I believe I was just closing GTA: San Andreas. Suddenly, the buttons were gone. I could scroll through the app drawer perfectly, still. That's the odd thing. I should've taken a screenshot if I realised this earlier. I will next time it happens, so let's hope I don't have to. After a while, the phone froze and I decided to reset it, after which everything returned to normal. I guess that's one part where hardware buttons beat software - they don't magically disappear (I hope..).
Lastly, I opened the camera and it looked like it lagged. I pressed the Home button twice or thrice, but then the entire device froze and it kept vibrating like hell! I don't particularly enjoy 5" vibrating devices so I decided to reset it as quickly as possible. No way that could've been good for the device.
Have you experienced one of the last two issues I've had? Or have you had something similar yet different?
Let me know below!

I'm sorry, what?
It's pretty important to not lose the three main on-screen buttons, not to mention having a device that doesn't vibrate like you-know-what.
What would repairing the firmware do? The phone is still new. There couldn't be anything wrong with the firmware, not solvable by flashing the same firmware over it again, I reckon.

yeah these are problems and easily can be solved
by PC companion.
even more issue can appear on new phone.
these are bugs on ur ROM
when u repair firmware, PC companion will download latest firmware (available for ur region) and install it on ur phone.
That can solve ur problem.
-
if repairing by PCC didn't help u should download Flash-Tool for Xperia & firmware of another region and flash it.
u can find useful information about it here.

Try repair is really the first thing to do with ROM dependent error, so there is nothing wrong with the answer.

How can this be a ROM dependent error when I just had my Xperia Z1 for a couple of weeks and updated to official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean through an Over The Air update? My Android firmware is as official and up-to-date as it gets right now.
EDIT: Actually, I wasn't even asking for a solution. I was purely wondering if anyone else had these specific issues as well.

Because any update (especially an OTA) might fail and because these errors (mentioned, i think, for the first time here) are ROM dependent.
So first thing I would do is trying the repair.
I'm aware that you only asked for similarities, but as the are annoying errors, we just wanted to help with a possible solution.

Are you running a 4.3 stock ROM?
Do you use bluetooth/have it turned on?
If yes to both, it is a bug in the 4.3 roms related to bluetooth. Only solution I am aware of is to restart the phone whenever it happens and if you can leave bluetooth off

[Q] Moto G 2nd Generation Unresponsive/ Erratic touch behaviour

Hello XDA,
This is my first post/question for XDA so please excuse the errors,
PHONE DETAILs :
Motorola Moto G 2nd Generation (XT1068)(India Release)(16GB/1GB)(Dual SIM)
Issue : Erratic / Unresponsive Behaviour of Moto G 2nd Gen. Screen post root (2-3 weeks post) and reinstalling XMOD .
Brief : 2 - 3 weeks back I had rooted my phone for using Xmod for COC, it was working perfectly fine for sometime i then removed xmod and then after few days reinstalled now this time a lot of issues started popping:
Specific region of screen became unresponsive
lock screen would not allow any swipe like screen got frozen
screen completely becoming unresponsive in between use
I tried the rooting procedure again on my phone but the above situation still persisted, did a hard reset/recovery via no command menu.
still the issue persists.
Some observations :
The bottom left corner is the most un responsive or erratic behaviour prone. FYI this is the region where COC's next button
is drawn which is overidden by xmod.
consistent reboots is required, lock/unlock also gives few minutes of normal behaviour.
the dock/slider is also higly prone to be stuck/unresponsive.
sometimes it works hassle free but first points spot is still many times buggy.
I am open for all suggestions and help and also have no problem with completely re installing the OS (please do provide the process).
P.S. I have attached a screen shot marking the buggy corner which is mostly down or erratic.

I have the same problem. it is not related to xmod, probably a hardware issue of the touch screen. I know because it even happened in twrp recovery once. My best advice is to turn on show touches in developer options and turn screen off and on to temporarily fix it. I'm thinking about getting a one plus two to replace it depending on the price.

Flashing stock is always an option. If it doens´t solve your problem you can still buy a new phone.

No response touchscreen band

Hi, recently I've followed the guide here to root my tab s2 8" with android 6. All went well, if it wasn't for this little problem. I can't actually say if it showed up after or before the root, but I'm starting to think it's not something software.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve?

Eh, you activated those.. just turn them off..

That's not my point, I activated those option to show that there a v3rticwl band where the touchscreen won't work properly

The right side (vertical area), aye?!
Well, the last thing you did was *root*.. thus I'd presume something wrong with the software.

update
i've tried everythink i could think of. First just formatted data from recovery, nothing happened (it still does it in the recovery itself)
then i've installed the stock nougat rom, nothing again, not even in recovery...
but i've noticed that each time i reboot the tablet the problem goes away and comes back progressively, at first is just a little jump from left to right and it keep getting worst and worst untill it grows to its normal width.
i really think that the problem is something physical about the tablet.
now the question is about how i can prepare the tablet before sending it in to get fixed.
What can i do?
just to point it out, the tablet never had an accident, alway in the cover, i does not present a single scratch or dent!
suggestions?

I'd say, it is time to consult a technician. Someone like Rossmann,

Use the factory code to enter the touch options and ensure the firmware versions match for the touch driver. If not tap the general update button.

finger scanner

Hi,
I am currently experiencing a problem with my finger scanner. It does not show up under settings.
Everything was going going perfectly a couple of days ago, but one morning, it was bugging si I decided to restart my phone. Since then, it disappeared from the settings menu.
Does someone else have the same issue?
Is there a way to say if it is due to a software or hardware issue?
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice, but I already tried it, two times just to make sure... Nothing changed.
The weirdest thing is that restarting the phone gave me access to the fingerprint scanner once, but disappeared 2 days later... Since then, have not been able to get access to it. This is why I don't know if it is hardware or software related.

You should also try to downgrade to older software using FF, if that doesnt work than its hardware problem. EDIT: Try wipe cache using stock recovery first

OK thank you. If I find something I'll let you know too.

The new software update b369 seems to have solved my problem...
