Hi all,
My wife just bought the G780G.
I configured her device using Samsung smart switch, and used it to transfer settings, apps and data from her old S8 (first time I did it, usually I prefer to start a new device from scratch...) .
She says she has an issue with the device - sometimes, while using it, the screen flickers...
I didn't see it exactly and she didn't manage to reproduce it to show me, but she says it happens to her quite a lot.
Anyone familiar with this issue?
Any solution you know of?
Thanks!
long shot, if she uses chrome try updating it and android webview along with it. there was an issue months back where that caused system wide flickering and some apps not to work.

I updated Chrome.
No update was needed for Android web view.
Unfortunately it didn't help.
The issue persisted today...
I suspect 2 things:
1. A firmware update that was done yesterday morning (my wife doesn't remember if she encountered it before, she have the phone for 2 days...)
2. Restoring data using smart switch - it can cause issues? I restored the data from her old S8.
Can it be that some corrupted data was transfered?
I'm thinking of factory reseting her device and let her start from scratch..
What do you think?
before you reset try booting to recovery and clearing cache. if there was an update it could be the cache. if it doesn't help then yeah reset is the next option.

Thanks man
How exactly to boot to recovery?
I tried after watching several YouTube videos but had no luck...
Edit : looks like something is messed up with this phone.
I'm not able to boot into recovery.
Doing this:
Turn off device
Press volume up + power button simultaneously.
As soon as I see the Samsung fe logo - I release the buttons - the phone boots regularly...
Booting this phone to recovery is a bit tricky:
1. Shut down phone and wait for a couple of seconds
2. Connect an USB cable to PC and phone
3. Push and hold louder button
4. Push power button until recovery mode will be shown
I prefer ADB:
ADB DEVICES
ADB REBOOT RECOVERY
I press volume up plus power simultaneously while inserting the connected USB cable.
Thanks guys!
Managed to do it after connecting to my laptop.
Just wiped the cache partition - hope it'll help..
Well unfortunately it didn't help.
The screen still flickers.
I'll factory reset the phone.
Hope it'll help and it's not a hardware issue...
consider also reflashing the current firmware. there's even a way to do that that doesn't involve wiping your apps. using the HOME_CSC file will keep your user data intact. then if that yields no results you can try a factory reset.

Thanks man but I don't know exactly how to do it...
I'll factory reset it and that's it.
Hope it'll solve the issue
I wiped the device yesterday.
Looks like the issue is solved.... No more flickering!
Not a hardware issue
Thanks everyone!
Hope it is not a hardware issue. Because my old s5 and pretty all samsung s5 have screen flickering problem especially in cold weather.

Today I found my Bell Vibrant (GT-i9000M) with a blank screen and lit up buttons. I had not done anything other than root and lag fix a few weeks ago. Holding the power button brought up the menu to power off but it locked up when I selected power off. I had to pull the battery. Now every time it starts up it sits at the Galaxy S screen for a long time then goes to a blank screen and nothing happens except the buttons light up when I touch it.
I want to know if there is a way to get my data off the internal SD. I have some pictures on there that I do not want to lose. I fear my only option is to wipe the device and factory reset it.
Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated. I have spent the last three hours searching for a solution but I haven't found anything that might work without wiping my data.
Thanks
the data must go if you want to get your phone back
there is no way to repair the phone without losing data
Well the factory reset worked. At least it booted up anyway. I wonder what happened to my phone. It was fine and then I left it on my desk for maybe 20 minutes and all the sudden it is broken. :/
I have the same issue. How do i factory reset from here?

Guys i got the same prob,did factory reset and the problem still remains...what can i do???Black screen,some vibraton,and the buttons lit,but nothing else.Any advices plz??
You all may be suffering from a corrupted /system partition because of the lagfix applied. Read up on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9365294#post9365294 to see if that applies.
These are too complicated for me....i tried to do the lagfix,but it had loopback error,so i guessed it didnt do it.I rebooted my phone just to clear the memmory and play a game or something,and never got on again...just stays there vibrating.So i did factory reset and still nothiing.
I have similar problem. i9000 samsung screen appears, then goes blank, and appears again continuous cycle until battery is removed. Animated logo doesn't even start. I cannot seem to enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode (dwn vol, home, and power) and I tried to USB to my computer in download mode to try and pull the pictures off with ADB, but ADB doesn't seem to see the device connected in download mode. Is Odin my next option? Or does that only work with unlocked phones. I was on stock 2.2 that Kies updated for me.
Pleeeeaaase help. My children opening christmas gifts are on the phone and once i get the videos I can just send it off to Bell for full replacement. They have told me that once it gets sent out for repair my pictures will be gone.

Hello everyone,
I've been literally 12 hours searching for possible answers on how to repair my Galaxy Note N7000 which from what I've concluded, has a problem that can be easily repaired but I've found nothing but limitations when I have a go at it. It doesn't seem to be bricked as I can still access recovery mode, download mode and it effectively boots, it's only giving me errors.
Here's what happened:
1) I tried rooting it using UnlockRoot PRO. Paid the PRO version, detected the device. Later I find it says the N7000 with 4.1.2 is not compatible so the rooting process was never completed, so I rooted it using Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed and it worked just fine.
2) Everything worked fine, downloaded Andromizer to customize the phone.
3) Changed the DPI size to test it, then went to Developer Options and changed the Animation scales to 0.5 to make it all run faster.
4) Rebooted the device. Once I did, I got nothing but "SystemUI has stopped working" together with "TouchWiz home has stopped working errors".
I checked around the web and so far, what I've found (and tried) is this:
1) There seems to be a bug related to TouchWiz and the Animation Scale option (or perhaps the DPI size option in Andromizer). So I tried to do a wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode.
2) When trying the wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode, I rebooted the phone, only to find the SAME errors after I registered everything.
3) First option that came to mind was to wipe everything and immediatly reinstall the Official JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware (at this point I want to pretty much unroot the device as I didn't know it was going to give me so much trouble). When I tried that, I realized that SUDDENLY, Odin (nor Heimdall) are NOT detecting the phone in download mode. I'm guessing it's because USB Debugging is turned off but, I can't access the phone settings. It's my only logical conclusion, although it should be turned on given I could install PhilZ Custom Recovery later.
4) I search around the web and it says it's a driver problem. So I uninstall everything, run CCleaner, USBDeview to uninstall everything related to the Samsung Galaxy. Reboot. Install drivers again. Reboot. Plug booted phone and let Windows detect the device, installed successfully. Reboot in download mode. Let windows detect the device, installed successfully. Run Odin: DEVICE NOT DETECTED. (It does detect it while it's booted though, only it doesn't work for **** obviously).
I've literally tried everything. I've tried checking for a way to install the firmware via Recovery Mode instead of Download Mode. I've tried checking for a way to remotely access the device and mod the settings from there using ADB, and I get the same problem in ADB, doesn't detect the device.
Also tried to reset settings to normal via PhilZ Custom Recovery which I managed to install later.
Isn't there just a way to reset all settings to normal? Shouldn't a factory reset do this? How can I get SOMETHING to work and try to recover the phone? Any Aroma Recovery Script? Any way to mess with the system folder and modify settings manually via notepad or something since due to the SystemUI / TouchWiz home errors I can't access the phone settings?
I'm barely awake at this point. Can't believe I've stressed myself this much. Please help. This is beyond retarded.
Thank you,
Z
i had the same exact problem just few hours ago.....first of all you should boot into recovery mood by pressing vol up+ home button+lock button until samsung logo shows and then wipe all data/factory reset and wipe all cache partitions..........if that didnt fix it you should try rerooting it againg after re wiping
I read the post but it seems you have done a lot of things and nothing worked. So what is the situation right now? You can boot as normal but cannot get any icons or settings as sysUI and TW crashes?
Try installing GB ROM then wipe/cache first. If good, root GB ROM then do full wipe. Then test ROM for crashing.
If good then install JB rom and test. Let us know.
unable to enter phone setting ？ then just simply look for a secsetting.apk for ur version then replace it n set the permission rw-r--r--

Bwahahah, now I see why you guys enjoy calling newcomers "noobs".
It was a computer problem. I just reinstalled JB 4.1.2 from my netbook and it worked.
Weird as hell though, given that I updated my GT-N7000 to JB 4.1.2 through Odin in this computer and it never gave me any problems.
I AM going to learn some ADB / Android SDK though. I'd rather learn everything before something like this happens to me again.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and thank you all for it.
nice to hear that you had this one fixed
Glad to hear its working now.

I have tried to upgrade my touchwiz to the new one, but got the danger message, would clearing the cache help?

So this is the deal:
I have an S Advance GT-I9070, with a non-functional Home Key. I have recently installed Lollipop onto it and found it too resource extensive and rolled back to kitkat, which was also draining the battery. So I decided to try
Light Jelly Bean v1.2. I followed the instructions accordingly:
3. wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, wipe system
4. install the zip file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And rebooted, I got the Samsung GT-I9070 logo on and then, nothing. The screen goes blank. There is no responsiveness, the softkeys dont glow. Nothing. But I noticed that the screen gets warm, after like 20-30 minutes so I switch it off.
I have read about the Download Mode - Odin flash routine, which wont work for me due to the broken Home Button.
I have also read about the USB JIG, but I cant seem to find any cases where a Jig has been used on a S Advance, but I found one on S/S II, I think.
So, I would like to know:
1) Will a USB JIG work in this case?. If so, is it safe to do it without any permanent risk (like Hard Brick)?
2) Or, is it better to get the Home Button fixed? Or rather, the whole phone fixed( IF they really (can)do that, when the phone is in this irresponsive state. I don't mind spending a few bucks to get it back in condition)
Please post a message if you need more info. Thanks!
Hi I hope you all will be fine.
Model# N960U1
Yesterday I updated to andriod pie. After updating I got all new look nd software but one thing note that the mid section of my screen didn't respond to touch. Along with that some times screen freez nd after ten seconds it come back to life. I have tried wipe cache and safe mode start but nothing help. I tried another method like backup data nd factory reset after that phone start working normal but after twelve hour phone of use and encounter the same issue now u can't do that every time to reset. Please advise a solution..
Does it happen if you boot in safe mode? If not there might be some app conflicting. If it is still occurring in safe mode then try factory reset but no data restore. If the issue comes back contact Samsung for repair.

Have you tried backing up only your messages, files and photos without the apps and system settings then factory reset? Do that and redownload all of your apps fresh from the playstore then redo all of your system settings all over again. That could help a lot.
Hi, sorry for the bad english. My Xiaomi Note 11 worked perfectly fine for months since I bought it, but last night I accidentally left it charging for the whole night and when I woke up, it suddenly rebooted to recovery mode. I rebooted it back to system, which reboots the phone as usual, then I unlocked the lockscreen, everything went perfectly normal, until it rebooted again to recovery mode. I tried rebooting again, but it rebooted again to recovery mode after I unlocked the lockscreen. I tried booting it to safemode, but it went the same way. However, when I leave the lockscreen unlocked, it doesn't reboot itself. I tried turning it off and rebooting it with the screen unlocked but it did nothing. Do you guys ever have the same problem? Is there any way to fix it without wiping the data? I have some banking apps and other data that would be difficult to recover if I were to wipe out the phone.
I have the same problem too, I think it might have to do with the new update Xiaomi pushed to European devices in the last few days. We'll have to wait and see if they push a fix/if we find a fix...
Exact same problem, started appearing today. This is so weird. I already wiped data and the problem persists; went thorough the setup with no issue, and as soon as I finished it and the phone goes to the main screen, after a few seconds it started appearing again.

I found a way to do so. The problem is that once the phone is unlocked you have a few minutes before it gets booted into recovery mode. So:
Step 1) Have the phone connected to a computer before booting it up, with file explorer in the "this pc" category (where the phone storage will appear)
Step 2) boot the phone and input the password (if any)
Step 3) QUICKLY pull down the notification bar and press the usb options notification
Step 4) QUICKLY press the second option for file transferring
Step 5) QUICKLY open phone storage from pc once it pops up (at this point the phone screen will probably be black with a white loading circle but the phone storage is still accessible!!! You now have a few minutes to transfer any data you want)
Step 6) QUICKLY search through phone storage for any important data and copy/paste it to your computer
Sooner or later the phone will be booted to recovery mode and the mi logo will appear and the phone storage will disappear from the computer so repeat above steps until all your data is backed up.
If a file transfer gets stopped while running, copy/paste the data again on the next "run" and choose to ignore files that are already copied. With this method I managed to backup all my photos and files before wiping the phone.
This problem might be due to a problematic firmware update. My phone was running MIUI version 13.0.12(RGKEUXM) (europe version). I wiped the data and updated my phone to version 13.0.13(RGKEUXM) after setting it up just in case. I will update this thread if the problem reappears.
I am running RGCMIXM (13.0.16.0) and have encountered the issue. Really annoying. Did the wipe all and had no success. I hope someone can help find a fix. No feedback on the issue i logged thru the feedback app to Xiaomi.

Which wipe method did you do? Just a factory reset or a reflash?
