On the right hand side of my device a strip running from the top of the phone to the bottom of the phone exactly half an inch wide will not respond. I noticed in while texting a friend.
I am unlocked running Alien Build 3. I am going to wipe and install Build 4 and see if that fixes the problem, any other ideas? I have the ATT Warranty thing.
This picture shows the region that is dead.

Same thing happened to my G/F's atrix except the left side. It was warranty replaced via AT&T. The kicker is you will have to call and talk for an hour with the tier 1, then to a tier 2, then the "special android techs"... the result of the call was they told her to factory reset. That in turn derped her worse cause then she couldnt even setup blur. She had to rotate it into landscape to get it to setup. Being hers was on the left, the E/W wouldnt work and since her email had 3 e's it was a PITA. PS- I sbf'd, tried to restore the PDS (or whatever) partition, and did resets; none of which worked. Just trying to save you some time, call AT&T and get a new one y0
I got a new one, but now the new one is doing the same thing.... /facepalm
What can I flash to get my phone all the way back to bone stock?
Same happening to me, it's the dead center of the screen.
Works on an off randomly. Factory reset wouldn't fix it.
Would love to know if it is possible to fix without having to send the phone in for repair.

I can't remember exactly when I got the tab but its been a while... maybe close to a year. I've recently noticed an issue with the display of my GTab 10.1. I'll call it "splotchiness" for lack of a better word. And I'm not sure if its a defect with my Tab, or if its just the panel they used on the GTab 10.1.
Its hard to describe so I'll give some examples. On the settings screen, there are these weird lines or "bands" across the titile bar at the top. I get similar banding across the buttons (WI-FI, Notifications, GPS, etc.) of settings popup from the tray. And some banding and splotches in the Box app.
I've converted several DVDs to AVIs and put them on my tablet. Maybe the quality of the video just sucks. But most of them have these grainy, splotchy areas throughout the film. Sometimes its the background...sometimes its on peoples' faces, hands, etc. The splotches appear on still images too.
Its really hard to get images of the screen (the splotches and stuff strangely didn't show up in screenshots I took on the tab) but I did my best.
Anyone else's GTab do this? Is mine defective? Thanks in advance for your help.

I guess I'll assume the lack of response means nobody else is having this issue. I went back and looked and I bought my Tab on June 20th, 2011 so it's still under warranty. So I guess I'll send it back.

Hi, I'm no expert, but more info about your tablet would be necessary. Which version of the ANDROID OS are you using? It looks like the stock OS, but exact model and OS info is needed.
From a cursory glance at your post, it looks to me to be a software issue. But some more tests and info would be needed. I have attached some test images for you to view on your screen. See if you get the problem with these images.
Have fun. Anil
It's a 7510MAVB... 32 GB. Stock 3.2.
Those images do the same thing... Splotchy areas. I've contacted Samsung for repair. Only have 2 months of warranty left.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm having some trouble with my amaze's screen. There is a region around the edge of the screen that sometimes (a lot) is unusable. It is roughly around 20 pixels from the edge. It is especially a nuisance when im trying to use the keyboard. For instance if i try to press the letter q, it will press w etc. Sometimes the screen flashes with this red border around the edge, resembling the area that i cannot use. I couldnt get a screenshot but i gimp'd up something that resembles what im talking about:

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried most ROMS and the prob still exists. I have not dropped or damaged my phone in any way. This just started happening recently.
So i turned on show touches in the developer options in settings to give a better idea of what my problem is.
This is what happens when i drag my finger from the top of the screen to the bottom:

That didnt do it for me. I do remember that it started when i changed the back door of the phone. So i grabbed the old one and tried it and the problem is still there
I have seen yesterday in a shopping center in retailer shop, strange behaviour of S6 edge:

Anybody could tell me what happened with this phone or witnessed such thing? Phone was hot but I can't tell if too much, maybe higher temps are standard in S6 world I own S5 and never noticed such temp. It wasn't burning but was unpleasant.
It's not a demo unit just regular phone. I saw that unit few days ago and it was retail one (checked in phone info).
Maybe someone dropped it but there were no sign on body.
That is the beginning of the show game of thrones, but apparently got stuck in that part ?? more serious now, I don't know why he could be like that, that's the first time I hear or see an s6 like that

Hahah, ROFL yeah it is HBO starting I've read about S5 which had the same issue and user just waited with battery out some time and next boot was OK.
But also heard about S4 which after such thing was damaged and warranty services changed mainboard.

Valar Phonoris? All phones must die Who knows what happened to this poor fellow. Maybe Hardware, maybe Software. You can't play around with it, so we probably won't find out
So, this is not my tablet, but my wife's tablet.
The tablet is from Russia (we are in the US now).
Stock rom
No modifications
No root
Just barebones as it is.
So, she was using it and she put it down, and about, I guess 20 - 30 mins later, she picked it up and asked me what happened. And it is a strange thing because the ROM seems to have hardcore glitched (I believe) because somehow half of the top screen was at the bottom of the screen now and bottom half was missing and we could see the "Android is optimizing apps 56 out of 121" somehow, and we didnt even install any updates by ourselves.
So now the screen is glitched in these weird boxed patterns, not like the screen is broken, but something is wrong somewhere.
Take a look at the photo below.
Also I am trying to somehow flash an earlier version of the OS to see if that fixes anything.
You opinions are welcome.

You can try repairing your tablet with the help of Sony PC Companion software.
How to do it?
Here's a link to guide

If it is software bug, reflashing will definitely fix it.
But this issue with screen distortion may also be hardware bug, cable that connects display with motherboard may get loose.
So if pc-companion/flashtool won't help you, firmly press left/right sides on the back of tabz and check screen for any changes. If nothing good you need to take it to service or heat back cover and carefully open it afterwards to check/replace it manually.
If you can read russian, check this thread.
Hi guys,
I´ve a X820 with a divided screen. some colorful pixel on the left side and working lcd on the right side. I´ve tried 4 different screens. the used LCDs are working well on other phones.

then I removed the black sticker around the lcd connector and catched out that some resistors are loosened.
Do anyone know these issue? is there any fix? soldering? but where I can find the spare parts?
Thanks for your help guys

Exact same problem here too. I've been using the phone fine for two months but just yesterday this screen issue happened. It happens randomly and is hard to reproduce. Tapping or scrolling the left side seems to cause glitches. Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue.
Screenshots do not show the problem, and funnily enough pressing things on the left of the screen still works, like opening apps/typing etc, you just can't see what you're doing until the glitch clears itself! It also happened once on the LeEco splash screen on booting, and in recovery mode. I'm not sure about the bootloader.
I haven't looked at the resistors as the phone is basically new, so if this is a hardware issue I'm hoping for a replacement! If anyone has a fix please post it!
I also had the same issue but for some reason only with LOS 15.1.
When I boot into it it's fine but when I lock the phone half of it turns into RGB noise like on the photo. Restarting does fix the problem but still locking it makes the noise again. I think it's just a software glitch.
Thanks @LameMonster82. Mine is a lot more often than that, and not just when locking the phone. Glad to know this could just be a software issue though!
@toto1988 any update on this? Did you find a fix? There's a solution offered by @geekch to reflash the LeMax2Qfil so I may try that myself over the next few days. Flashing stock Rom and recovery unfortunately did not work so Qfil may be the last resort.
Sorry for delay. Now I got a new motherboard and anything works fine again. So it was definitely a hardware issue. Before I tried all other potential software fixes without success.
