So for some reason my battery got low and I was a call with my wife and the phone seemed to shut down. Then I tried powering it up and it had 1% battery life left. I plugged it in and the screen started flickering at random times between different degrees of brightness. I would turn the phone off and plug in the charger and there would be a dim light on the bottom left hand part of the screen. After a while, it went away but when I powered up the phone at around 23% it stilll flickered. Then all of a suddden it stopped flickering but now the brightness is all screwed up. The aforementioned lower left hand corner is the brightest and it fades to darkest at the right. And overall the phone isn't as bright as it once was. its almost as if a light bulb is burnt out behind the screen.
What could be going on. Is it hardware or software? I'm rooted with the olympain ROM.

Not sure if anyone else encountered this. My entire screen all of a sudden just displayed bright blue. Power button was unresponsive. Knowing blue degrades the Super AMOLED Plus screen the quickest, I pulled the battery out.
Hopefully this is only a one-off problem.
Stock ROM, not rooted. I drained the battery last night. Charged it with the power adapter for 1hr this morning. Got to work and was charging it with the USB for about 30min. Was using Whatsapp... then blue screen.
Don't install Windows 2000 on your device
Been using the samsing case till now w/o any issues. However today i was lying down on the bed and i dropped the front flap which i was holding behind the tab while firmly gripping lower portion of the tab in the horizontal position.
Issues:
1) As soon as i dropped the cover, the screen became all hazy and switched off. To switch it on henceforth it has to placed on a surface and power button held for awhile.
2)Battery shows 2% charge w/o charger connected. On connecting the charger
3) Battery displays 100%- remove charger. And if, i remove thecharger that causes the screen to become hazy ( ie similar to the old CRT tvs scanning for channel)
So what i am trying now is just to keep charging even though it's displayed 100%..!?( did this while tab switched off.. Showed less than 50% graphically and started to chargecad though all issues sorted. Remove charger after switching the tab ON and battery shows 3% and does the haze if charger isnt connected)
Any idea what must have happened to cause this????

Yesterday, my phone fell (not very hard, onto a carpeted floor). I picked it up and put it in my pocket without looking.. When I went to check my phone, it was off. I tried to turn it on, but it would only go to the HTC screen, then the screen would go black but the home icons would be lit up. I took the battery out and let it sit for a couple of hours. Tried to put it back in and the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I put it on the charger, it turned red for about 5 seconds, turned off, then repeats. If I try to turn the phone on, the LED light blinks a very dim red for 2 seconds then stops. I can't even hold the volume button and the power button, it just blinks the dim red. As far as I know, it is not rooted. I got it second hand about a year ago after my phone got stolen. I have never had any problems with it other than the camera.. It just stopped working eventually. Help?
Anytime you drop the phone, even if it wasn't a hard hit, it can damage something on the main board, which could be your problem. However, since you say the led is very dim red, that is a sign that the battery itself is damaged and won't charge. I would try to get a cheap battery off ebay to see if that's the problem.
You probably damaged some micro vital componants on your motherboard which is preventing your device to function in a normal way.
must be motherboard, or some other chip
