Hey Guys, this one is a doozie. My fire 7 screen has mirrored itself. The touch panel is regestering the correct locations and a screenshot sent to the computer looks fine, but the screen is mirrored on the tablet (as in it reads correctly when held to a mirror. This is not the RTL layout in the developers options. Even the Amazon logo during startup is mirrored. It happened randomly when I turned on my tablet from sleep mode, and it hasn't been the same since. Also, no, this is not a rotation error as not matter what the screen is rotated to, it is displayed wrong.
I have restored to stock and installed TWRP and a custom rom to see if any of those would fix the issue to no avail. I also took the tablet apart, inspected the logic board, ad disconnected/reconnected all internal connections, but that didn't make a difference either.
Is there any way to fix this? Amazon won't fix it without me paying, but a new Fire is cheaper than a repair (although the new ones are locked down). It seems to be a kernal/boot/weird bit that got flipped somewhere, but I haven't been able to track it down.

Sure you have the right forum (5th gen Fire)? I assume device has the 5.0.x bootloader as you referenced TWRP which can be booted but not installed. You could try reflashing the bootloader from this thread. Beyond that there may be a hardware or low level firmware glitch that can not be repaired.

Hi Guys,
This issue has been really p*****g me off over the last two days... so, would reapply appreciate any help on this...
Yesterday or day before, I was just scrolling through the menus of the phone and decided to do a horizontal calibration (i've never done this since the getting the phone about two months back).
Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration
And ever since I did the calibration, the screen has been really screwing up with me. Basically, what happens is that, a certain area of the screen gets automatically clicked!! This happens to a specific area of the screen. For example, when I get to the home screen from the app drawer, the widget that I normally have in this area gets clicked on for no apparent reason, and then I have to hit the back key to get back to the home screen. This happens about 5 times and then seems to go away for a while. However, it happens all over again when I use the phone after a little while.

}
In the attached screen capture of my home screen, I have highlighted the area of the screen where this happens in red. This happens not only from the home screen, but from within any open app as well.... For example, when I view the "my apps" section in the Android Market app, the app that happens to be listed in the above area get automatically selected!!!
I have re-calibrated the screen, re-started the phone and the only thing I've left to do is a hard reset. I'm not too keen on doing this as I don't fancy having to re-install 70+ apps all over again!!
Have any of you guys encountered anything like this ?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as this is really flipping me over!!
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
anyone......?
cmon, am I da first one on XDA to experience this issue?

[Q] Auto Clicking - Sorted
ah! no replied at all!!!
neways, finally got this sorted by having the screen replaced!! luckily the phone is still under warranty... otherwise it would hav cost me around 250$ to get it done apparently (according to the service center guy who did it)!!
tried hard resetting, data+cache wipe and even flashed with a different ROM (darky's).... but nothing worked.... so, finally took it to the service center... luckily those people didn't notice that the phone has been rooted and all that plus, got a gud rappo with one of the technicians over there, so got it back the next day as well....
cheers.....
Hey everyone, I've got an issue I've been trying to get figured out with no luck & I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As it says in the title I'm on the Note 5 32GB from t-mobile, it's running 6.0.1, and is rooted with TWRP recovery. Now on to the issue.
Yesterday I rebooted my device, and when it came back up the home screen shrunk. What I mean is the icon/folder area and the screen indicator dots are smaller causing a significant dead space area between the dots and my bottom bar. I have included two photos, one untouched and one with yellow highlighting illustrating the area I am talking about.
In an attempt to remedy this, so far I have done the following:
Checked that one handed operation is disabled (it is)
Checked and changed screen fonts & font size
Changed the home screen grid options
I've even went as far as doing a system reset in twrp erasing everything and starting over
With that I have been unsuccessful in getting this fixed. I am hoping someone can help. In my research the only information I have found to this point talks about the settings I listed above as attempts, and I haven't seen this problem come up at this point, so please don't blast me if I've missed it, and you know where I should look, I am more than happy to read any information provided.

I've shared the photos with an image tag from my onedrive account, if they aren't working please alert me and I'll try to find another way to share them.
Not working. Curious though. How is the rest of the system? Setting and whatnot set to normal? Did you flash a ROM?

Everything is default accept my theme, which changing it didn't affect it either. It's a stock rom and systemless root with TWRP recovery. I was thinking I screwed up a setting also which is why I tried to do a reset.
I was contacted by a user who discovered a 'secret code' that applies to the FireOS search bar (Unified Search). When you type it into the search bar, you enter retail demo mode.
Code:
;demo
There are several major problems with this once you enter it. One: you can't get out. You can resell the device when you're done, but one of two things happen: On the fire 7: it powers off your device, reboots it and erases it. Then it reboots...into a logo loop. Fire HD 10: When you resell, your screen is blocked by an amazon logo overlay. It just sits there. You can reboot and the overlay remains. You can't disable it through ADB on either of them it doesn't do you any good, because you stay in demo mode. I forgot to mention the countless demo apps it tries to download. This code also worked on the HD 8, but I didn't go past the splash screen. Only way out is a factory reset via recovery.
I got a screen cap of the debugging menu. There is an application version have never seen before. Is this the retail mode application version? If not, what is it? No the device is not registered.
Code:
1.1.906.0-tablet_424010

Huh, I guess Amazon is really bad at making demos, which probably explains why Best Buys always throw out the old Demo Amazon devices. Now, how is the issue different on different devices?

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:

}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!

Hello,
I've successfully managed to install OnePlus3T_28_A.86_191104_repack through MsmDownloadTool V4.0.71 where the Status of Communication is "Download Complete".

After this, when the phone boots, the OnePlus logo shows up for a little while – and after that, a black screen. I can only access fastboot – and that's about it. The phone is locked, etcetera, so I can't flash via adb/fastboot. When I try to access recovery mode through the fastboot menu, the screen becomes black too.
Worth mentioning I've also successfully installed through an older version of MSM before this. But same results. The version is the following OnePlus3T_28_A.23_161027 and the MsmDownloadTool V3.0.6.
What are the alternatives? Is it good game? If someone could pinpoint me what to do next would be glorious. The hard-brick guides seem to always point to the MSM way of things.
Thanks in advance!
Alright so I've been digging a bit deeper.
Stumbled upon a bunch of different YouTube videos that had similar solutions.
Most of them were squeezing, tapping and doing different motions onto the phone. Like pressing down the screen at different angles with some pressure, etc. Also from the back, the buttons to loosen them, etc. I'm sure I've missed some of the methods mentioned in the video.
However, the squeezing on the screen and the back actually made the phone go past the black OnePlus logo into the boot animation -- and I thought that was it. Apparently, it hung up half-way through.
The last method they mentioned was to put the phone in the freezer in a zipper bag and TRUTHFULLY it worked after being in there for 10 minutes. The phone booted up, went through the installation setup and it worked for a while... until it didn't.
Apparently, my battery does not charge and it's stuck at 0% all the time. Seems a bit suspect. Will dig further into it.
