Hello everyone,
I got my Optimus 4x about 3 months ago brand new. I have always protected it with a case on. So far i love the phone but just last week out of nowhere the Accelerometer/Gyroscope stopped working. As in i cannot tilt the phone during games or watch movies in full screen when i tilt the phone. I checked Auto-rotate in settings...did factory reset ...reboot and all that option...but it hasn't worked yet. What else can i do..help please. Im on wind network in Canada, if that matters . Thanks in advance.

Have you tried calibrated it? I'm not trying to discourage you, but gyro sensor is hardware related and there's a chance that you need to have it fixed.
I've read in HTC One X forum where a guy experienced this and did everything he could and ended up in the service center and got a replacement.

not a solution, as I did it already twice, after a week or two you need to do the same. Probably the only option is to change the motherboard.

Hello i had same problem with phone. Totally dead, then i read on forum that it is probably pmi8994 chip on motherboard that was defected. I order that chip from aliexpress( must know what version is chip on your phone). Mine was pmi8994 002. I paid 8$ on aliexpress for two of them(you need only one) and 35$ for replacement. After replacement it come alive and working fine more than half year. I hope this will help.

It was suddenly power off and didn't want to turn on. I put it on charger (before failure battery was around 70%), but it didn't power on and notification light for charging was very dim and blinking. Then i check my domestic forum and got solution from one user who had same problem.

How did you change the chip? I saw a video on Youtube that describes the procedure of changing a chip, and looks like it is definitely nothing for laymen.

Hi, after the March update, I found my Galaxy Note 9 screen turned yellow..
I turned off the screen, unlocked the screen and the screen back to normal..but the yellow screen will reappear...
Some people say it's a hardware problem and replace their LCD, but some people assume that Samsung technicians don't want to get dizzy and just say "you have to replace the LCD"
There is someone who brought this to the Samsung center, the technician just looked without checking further and said "the LCD has been broken" and he fixed it via safe mode (IDK the detail)
And some people solve this problem with FW flash via Odin..
I'm curious, do custom ROM users experience yellow screen too? is this really a hardware problem?
Thanks, and sorry for bad English

Those affected should. Samsung is greedy to force for hardware replacement instead of fixing their software. Samsung hardwares are expensive. In my country screen replacement for note 9 is about half of the second hand value of this phone.

Note 9 yellowish scree
hi I've faced the yellowish screen problem recently. My phone is 1 year and 7 months old. I visited samsung service center in my city in India. 1st they told me it was your fault that because of your mishandling this has happened and some brainless person told me to go for replacement which cost around 21000 rs(300$) in India. But then i asked them to find any dent, crack or even a scratch on body or glass if its mishandling. Then i showed them this article. https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-note-9-march-2020-security-update-broken-screen/
Manager head technician accepted the fact that this wasn't my fault any kept phone with him. After 20-25 days now i have my phone with screen replaced without giving a single penny. Samsung is such greedy company that pushes such faulty updates and loot consumers like they haven't looted us enough with such heavy priced phones.

Which city ?.
Because in Bangalore they kept for my phone for a week and returned it without doing anything.
Same issue not a single scratch, dent or bump. Mint phone. But Audio Dead.
They told me to my face and in writing that no Note 9 users have reported any problems after the update.
I told them to visit XDA and their own company community pages but they ignored me.
They demanded that the only way they would help is if I paid 26500 to replace the board. ANd even that would take weeks. Due to present situation.
Another guy in another city was quoted 18K for his Note 9 main board. So it seems they can charge what they want.
There is no fixed rate. They cant even match the rates on their own web site.
Lets just say you got very lucky or you have good contacts.

I am in Surat. I didn't have any contacts in Samsung service center. I went there and requested to look upon my problem. 1st the illiterate girl at the desk ignored me but when the manager/chief engineer came to know about the problem he peacefully heard me. I used my "Being A Doctor trump card" to further make him believe that i was no joking and lying. And ultimately I was lucky. Though i was very much prepared to go in consumer court if that failed.
They just returned my phone and told me to come back when I was willing to pay 26500 for a new board.
I have started a new Face Book Page Called Samsung India worst company.

did not work! can you give more information !?
Looks weird but its working for me, tap to switch on always on display then open the phone with fingerprint or other methods, screen becomes normal !!
So I opted to fix my own phone.
WHat I found was that the over heating had cause some microscopic balls of lead to have melted during the over heating and these were all over the main board. I suspect some got under the Amplifer 98512 IC. So I purchased the part form china for 2$. Purchased a microscope and fix it myself.
I also cleaned the main board in ultrasonic machine to make sure all the small balls were dislodged. Its been over a week and my phone is working fine.
I suspect if you try all the software options and nothing works. Open the back cover and look for these tiny balls. If you see them clean the board and put it back it may start working. If it has shorted something off course you will see the damage. May times just a clean and re-seating the flex cable solves the problem.
I wonder if Samsung return your old board if they charge you for a new one.
Hey, download this app PWMfree by going to this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78953726&postcount=48 this will resolve your problem. Once downloaded scroll down then allow access, that's it. I hope this help.
Hi , i also have a screen problem with my Galaxy Note 9 Edge but i don't know if it is the same as the above problems. The problem started when i turned on the "always display on" option and set the clock to orange. I don't know if this is a coincidence but as soon as i turned that option 2/3s of my screen turned to orange as seen on the attached picture. I tried reverting the options but with no luck. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Did i messed some some settings? I have the latest update installed.
Finally yellow screen fixed in 13 July 2021 update
From what I have heard if you use the gesture navigations instead of the on-screen button navigation method. You should not experience the green screen issue.

If it's an LCD display they don't just turn yellow.
Flash it back to the firmware it was running on.
Rule #1 if the phone is running fast and stable, leave it be.

Actually I faced the same issue with my K20 pro. Nothing worked for me , power button didn't respond and I took it to service center, surprisingly there it turned on without giving to them, Even though It's working fine now, I gave them to check for the black screen issue, and they replied they didn't find any log for that and even they answered the last used app on my device. From that I concluded it's a software issue.
Again till now, I didn't face that issue. If I'm wrong please correct me.

There might be many possibilities, but did they repaired it somehow, or just checked and gave back to you.
If it's given back to you without doing any repair of any kind. Please be very cautious, this devices will go black eventually. Please make a action as soon as possible before same happened again.
You can search and read other users review as well. This phone manufacturing must have a serious manufacturing defect that all users will experience some day

Currently my phone's screen is black. I can't use it.
I do know its working fine by the sound of charging plug in and out and calls coming.
I m frustrated and going for a IPS LCD display worth 3500 rs since amoled will cost around 9000
This is my last try to solve it if I can.
So please share your experience how it was solved

I can use other ways to unlock so it's kind of fine with me
Ok i am a bit confused. I have today went back to the store to return my Oneplus 9 PRO that i was not happy with due to the heating and batterit drain problems that me and many other have. Instead I ordered a Samsung galaxy S 21+ with the exynos version.
But I have read that it is exist a problem called the screen of death for this phones?? Is this for real a common problem at this day?? I mean should i be worried??? My friend have the same model and have never had any problem with it and he have owned it for a long time.
Your post is the first I've heard about such a thing....
So I'd be inclined to think no
It's been happening for a while. Put it this way, you never heard about it happening on the N10+ except maybe an isolated freak case. This has happen to a number of S21U owners.
Not sure if it's across all variants or is variant specific.
It requires a display replacement if it happens.
I had it on my snapdragon S21U and had the screen replaced by Samsung.

If it works...
Generally when you need to do hard reboots you have a hardware not firmware issue especially if it happens more then once even if the hard reboot temporarily "fixes" the problem.

Hi,
So this screen of death is a common problem still? And if you have it is the hardware that is somehow broken? And it doesn’t matter if it’s snapdragon or the other cpu?

Don't know... do some searches with XDA or Samsung forum in the search parameter.
It's not just one or two.
From what people who had them repaired said, it was hardware in their cases.
It happened to me. Screen suddenly won't turn on. I brought it to samsung center and they replaced my screen.

There are a bad display batch(es) out there... at least that will fix your problem!
Worst case is if it fails out of warranty.
Not good...

When did it happend?
Whatapk said:
Why Samsung Screen Turns Black and Dead? The most common reason could be your device's crashed system. When your Samsung memory gets lower, or you meet a system update failure, the system would be crashed and stuck with a black screen on your Samsung Galaxy. You can also play games like Yareel 3D Mod APK on such mobile with ease. just enjoy the phone
