I was using my tab and the screen started to get all fuzzy, it is still usable but annoying none the less. One time while installing a rom (Team Overcome's) I accidentally installed 7500 on a 7510 device, so I thought that was to blame. I have since then done a complete wipe and reset about 4 or 5 times with compatible 7510 roms. I noticed if I leave my device alone or turned off for a few hours it seems to temporarily fix the issue. After about 20-30 minutes of use it starts to slowly get fuzzy and distorted. I was wondering if there was a fix I could apply on my end without having to turn it into Samsung and wait.

I'm using an HD2 on T-Mobile, still running the stock Windows. (haven't gotten around to slapping android on yet)
A.) ... was at work today, took the phone out of my pocket, and I couldn't get the screen to go on. The hardware buttons on the bottom would go on, and I could feel it vibrating and booting up when I powered it on, but after hard resetting(removing the battery, I mean) the screen still wouldn't go on.
.....so I go home with it powered on still, pull it out of my pocket and BAM! the screen goes on and it looks normal... but....
1.) Now the bottom 5 hardware buttons won't go off when I lock the phone. Sometimes they're dim, sometimes they're bright as if I'm using it. sometimes they flicker on and off.
2.) the screen won't brighten beyond 20%. It adjusts 10-20% fine, but sliding it from 20%-100% does nothing.
3.)In addition, whenever I hook it up to a PC to charge/transfer files, I SOMETIMES get the "This Device would work faster in USB 2.0" message. that I never got before these issues. This is confirmed by slow transfer speeds when this happens(400-600kb/s instead of the normal 3-5mb/s). This leads me to believe it could be something internal in the phone...
Worth taking to T-Mobile? Not sure what they can do for free, I bought it used about a month ago.
I Tried a factory reset recently, didn't do anything to help these problems.
I tried running it on another battery, same issues.
Think putting android on it could help any?
XDA Devs is the best around for this type of thing, so I figure there's someone on here who could give some advice. I love the phone, but these problems are awful! Thanks so much!
try re-flashing the stock ROM first (factory reset might be not enough), then if the symptoms reappear I'd think of warranty repair
My vibrant is in a bit of an issue. The screen is black and not responding but the 4 buttons are lit up.
The phone boots normal with its standard boot animation and load screen but as soon as the phone gets to the actual UI it blacks out and becomes unusable.
I can get into both recovery and download mode, and i have already flashed 2 different ROMS through ODIN in hopes that it would fix the issue, but no dice. one ROM alleviated the issue for about a day then it came back. the other ROM I flashed was no use.
I want to ask what else could i try ... or what could be causing the issue with the phone.
My thoughts is that theres is a I/O issue within the phone that is blacking the screen out when it gets to the GUI, other then that im at a loss for options.
I was having exactly the same issue with my wife's phone. When it booted up it seemed to try to turn on some of the various antennas (3G, Bluetooth), sometimes it ran the media scanning step, and then it black screened and started over. I cleared the internal SD memory and cache from recovery mode and that _seems_ to have fixed things for the moment.

What were you trying to do when the screen went black? load a gb bootloader or anything?
Hello everyone,
I have a question, sinds today my phone is doing trange thinks.
If I use the phone, don't matter what app or game sometimes my screen flips. I see very fast black screen and then is the creen back. Also the screen flips very quick from normal to landscape and back. This is not the only problem, also my battery gets hot. If I use apps or games the battery gets very hot, and normal this is not happend. This problems are getting up from to day and normal nothing strange happend.
I have reset my phone and have do a factory reset but this will not help. What can be the problem and is it possible if I flash a ROM that the problems are gone or is there a diffrent sollution of problem.
Thanks allot!!
What ROM are you using? Have you tried to flash a different kernel, like Siyah?
I use LPW ROM and its not the kernel because I use months the chainfire kernel without problems and now there are problems sins yesterday.

Hey,
I'm getting the same problem with the screen quickly going black for 1 second and then back to whatever I was doing. It seems to happen on any application. I also have the issue where the screen will randomly rotate into landscape mode, then go black, and back to portrait. It does this with the phone laying flat on a level table or holding it upright in my hand, regardless of auto-rotate being on or off. It even does it on the home screen but it seems to reload the icons after it goes black, almost like it did a RAM reset or something. The black screen flash and rotate problems seem to be related, as they started happening around the same time, but don't always happen together.
The phone is Galaxy S II LTE from rogers running ICS 4.04, stock everything including touchwhiz. I have done a factory reset using the option on the phone which appeared to fix the problem only to come back after a few hours of re downloading my apps and whatnot. Also calibrated the gyro on a level surface...no fix.
I can leave my phone plugged in and charging and quickly check a text message and reply, and my phone will be fine. But if I try to use my phone any more than that, the display gets strange artifacts (it's different every time, ranging from a dark grid overlayed on top of the image to the screen filled with different colors on each pixel) and sometimes the speaker emits a constant loud high pitched noise, even if it's on silent. I noticed one of the times that the sleep button worked, but using the touch screen and the capacitive buttons is impossible and I have to yank out the battery every time it happens. I'm running a recent CM10.1 nightly and default kernel, and I've experienced this problem independent of which nightly or kernel I'm using for the past few weeks (I have had no problems in the recovery menu). It even crashed one time upon boot up when I tried to unlock the phone immediately. Another minor problem is that my home screens got screwed up one of the times it crashed. It seems like a hardware failure to me. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this problem or has any ideas that might help. Thanks.
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. I have not seen anything similar reported on these forums. Is the phone currently stock, or custom firmware? The best test to see if the problem is firmware or hardware related is to flash a fresh stock firmware using Odin3. If the problem goes away, then it is obviously a firmware issue.
If it is a hardware problem, you may have trouble flashing a fresh stock firmware, or may not be able to at all. Or if you are able to flash a new stock firmware, but the problem does not go away, then it is probably hardware.
I have a Galaxy S3 that I have been running CM 10.2 on for quite some time. Today I dropped the phone and cracked the screen. The phone still worked perfectly in every way despite the cracked screen. I used it for a few hours after without any issues. I took it to someone today to replace the screen assembly. When I got the phone back it turns on and the screen looks fine but it hangs on the samsung screen for 3-5 minutes before booting in to anything (booting the rom, recovery mode, download mode etc. all take 3-5 minutes to start) when the phone finally boots the touch screen does not work at all. All buttons work fine, including the bottom buttons (back and settings) for touch but no where else does the screen respond to touch.
So far I've tried:
- wiping cache
- factory reset
- re-installed CM 10.2 rom
- Took the back off the phone and checked all the connections, unclipped and clipped back in to be sure they were connected ok.
- Completely removed battery and all sim/sd cards for an hour
At this point I'm not sure if I'm dealing with a hardware issue (maybe they guy screwed something up when replacing the screen) or the digitizer/screen he used is faulty? I know this doesn't neccessarily mean anything but when I got it back the new screen still had the protective film etc. on it so I'm almost positive the screen assembly the guy used was at least new.
And I don't really understand where the 3-5 minute boot issue could come from? I wouldn't think it would be related to the screen/digitizer but I suppose anything is possible. What could explain this?
Is there any way this could be a software issue or any other troubleshooting I can attempt?

Go and talk to the person who replaced your screen.. maybe has used faulty screen and also may be he has changed with some of the faulty parts..

Very strange, but it looks like it was indeed a software issue after all. For some reason changing the screen out while having CM 10.2 installed did not play well together. I did a full wipe and went back to stock rom and touch is working now. I may try a new install of CM again to see what happens. Odd
