My Z20 is experiencing some issues with the screen, when I use the phone for any length of time it gets hot, and the screen seems to either go black or have lines at the bottom that kind of are in the same spot of some of the information being displayed, usually purple. When I try to unlock the phone it often will either not unlock or it will unlock the wrong screen. Often the top screen simply will blink and not come on when I unlock. This is a US phone.

Hi i saw a couple of days ago that my N1 do something odd when turning the screen to sleep mode, sometimes (not always) some thick and soft colored lines (light green or light red) appear and dissappear VERY quickly in the bottom of the screen... is this a normal behavior? Whut should i check to see if my screen is going to fail?
my screen works perfectly but... i really dont like this behavior
I have seen that too a few times; just don't give it too much importance.
Hey Fran!
I see you are latin american just like me!
If you like, you can ask for me messenger so we can chat about cellphones
Dude, im a little paranoic, does this happens very often to you?
have anyone faced this trouble too?
I just noticed this same thing last night. it happens maybe once every 6 times you turn off the screen. it happens on the bottom part of the screen.
however one observation, this does NOT happen if you are viewing the lock screen and then turn off the screen. it only happens when viewing the homescreen, or web browser, etc.
so because of this fact, it doesn't happen all the time, nor on every screen, so that tells me it might be some type of software glitch or power glitch. I don't think this means our screens are failing.
this is a VERY difficult issue to notice.
Thanks for answering Roger!
Im a little bit uncomfortable with this issue because it makes me think that my phone's screen will stop working any time... i may say that i have noticed that this is happening more often now than before...
I hope im just being paranoic about this!!
Anyone noticed something similar?
Sometimes when unlocking phone with the unlock button or by double tapping it wakes up but is unresponsive to touch, the brightness alters with random intervals, wallpaper flickers. The phone becomes usable again after a few locks and unlocks with the button , although very rarely but still sometimes it automatically locks itself after unlocking.
Factory reset didn't help and before that I was using all the latest updates.
Is this a problem on the hardware side?

Pretty sure mine is. It started with similar issues and has only gotten worse. Flexing the phone a bit makes the screen go all wonky and it's the only way I can get it to come on/become responsive. I will more than likely have to send it in to Sony. Ugh.

Idk wth all that means. Some of it I can guess at...but for a phone that was treated rather gingerly...to have behaved in such a manner after X amount of months (7, I think it was, before stuff started going wonky) w/out the screen being cracked or damaged in any way...the answer is lost on me! Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

I'm randomly getting a split screen, half of the screen turns upside down, half stays right side up. Screenshots do not show it however. I have to turn off the screen for it to go away. Happens periodically after several minutes of use. Any thoughts?
looks a bit like a slot machine yes? I have a vertical split where the the image is not flipped, but it does scroll up/wrap around the screen so that the notification bar is somewhere in the bottom half of the screen and the bottom of the image is wrapped around to the top.
I only really get it on custom kernels, I reported it to the maker of Elite and he said from what he has heard its a hardware issue and the only fix would be to RMA. Haven't done that yet as it fairly occasional, but plan to soonish.
kinda sucky how we are getting screen issues on this phone, i also have a screen issue with vertical gradient line appearing on some material themes.
sadly i cant RMA it. if i could i would have, i have ordered it all the way from the Middle east. :/ i will stick to the phone for a while longer as i love it.. and hoping that the line somehow dissappears by its own.
It doesn't do this every time, but quite often and it seems to be random as I can't make it happen by doing one thing in particular. So, I used the phone for whatever, and then put it down, wait for the screen to go off and then in between the screen powering off and the always on display coming on, I get what you see in the photo below, and also in the bottom left corner in tiny writing, it says something about screen powering down and then something else that flashes on too quickly to read.
What do you reckon? Thanks.
Apologies for the screen protector, not got round to fitting the Whitestone dome yet.
I tend to get that whenever I open the keyboard for the first time after opening an app like WhatsApp or Snapchat. I don't get it when turning off.
I also get it when I press the middle button to go home from within an app.
But then again, I also have the taskbar to swipe up whenever I need it, so I'm not sure if this is relevant to me.
I.e I don't have the taskbar set to be static
Hey gusy i need a little help. Recently my phone started studdering out of no where and then the screen went blank. Could this be a screen issue or a software issue? It vibrates and tries to register the finger unlock method but nothing comes up on screen. I contacted my seller and they will respect my warranty but the shipping is a little expensive. In case i cant fix it myself i have no other choice but to send it.
I have tested hard rebooting it. And nothing. I just vibrates and nothing comes up on screen.
It enters fastboot but the icon is green and appears for a fraction of a second and it dissapears.
It makes sounds when i plug in the charger and when i run low on battery. It vibrates when i put my finger where the fingerprint unlock mechanism is.
I have videos of the tests but since i'm new i can't link them in this post.
Any help will be appreciated.
