ok i posted once before but got no replies. im hoping to get a little help here. my screen has been getting really fuzzy and now its getting so bad it will turn black on me.i am on stock rom and rooted but no kernel or anything else.its a gtab 10.1 wifi only. i dont have the tool to take the screws out to open it cause im wondering if it might be a loose cable or something. any ideas what will cause this? when i take a screen capture the image looks normal so its not capturing the problem with the screen itself.
pards, thats a hardware issue..if under warranty unroot and then bring it to the service center
thats what i was thinking but wasnt sure,problem is i bought the tab in usa and moved to philippines now my warranty is no good.they wont honor international .ive been online with samsung.so i guess i have to take it to the samsung here and see how much to fix it.samsung has lost my interest and liking thru all of this.

my girlfriends heros touch screen has stoped responding for instance if i press menu i can press scenes but while im in scenes and select a new one i cant press done i have to use the scroll ball... anyone had anything like this??
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
It happened to mine, the only thing you can do is send it back. It sucks but the screen is faulty.
Send her round with it........... I'll see if I can help
Seriously though, buggered screen I'm afraid..
Had the same problem. Sent it in for a repair and got it back in 10 days.
I've got the same problem!!! I used to say that it was the best phone I've ever used but my mind is changed! :S
Same problem here. I can type with the top and middle of the screen, but the bottom is less responsive/sometimes non-responsive, and backspace doesn't work. Dave Hagenaars: Did you have to pay for the repair?
Aslong as it's under warranty HTC will repair it for nothing. It seems it's a fairly common fault. It come's back with a sticker asking you not to leave the phone in your pocket whilst sat down. Bless them.

same problem here, i need put it back everything to stock before going to t-mobile shop. did u go to t-mobile shop or u just called them? thanks in advance
My touchscreen works fine when holding it upright, but when the phone is laying down it gets really unresponsive. Anyone else having this issue?
Since it works sometimes, I'm guessing it must be software issue...
Hey,
Sometimes my HTC Hero acts weird.
Sense starts to jump between 2 screens (as if I'm constantly giving it input) when I'm doing nothing.
Also sometimes a press anywhere on the screen makes the phone think I'm pressing something at the bottom.
And last but not least, sometimes when I try to type something I lose the function of both the bottom left and right part of the screen, meaning I can't use backspace, the L, P, A and other various keys that reside there.
Does anyone also have these problems?
Is this hardware related or can I hope that this problem is solved with the 2.0/2.1 update?
Mine does the same
It happens to me as well, and i bought it abroad so no repair for me
Also - mine does the CRAZIEST thing - i can move the screen without touching it!! This is crazy - i just hover the finger above it and i can move the desktop left to right ("feature" only available when teh screen starts to jerk around)
I have no idea what to do - it drives me crazy - all my presses are wrong, and some dont work at all!!
I have figured a "way" to make it normal for a while, i just press the end key to close the screen and then turn it on again and it kinda, kinda, works again.
anybody there knows whats is the fault? if its software or hardware?, anyway i sent mine for repair and still waiting.
It's a hardware issue, no doubt. I have experienced all the issues described in the last 3-4 posts. Will have to send it in for repair after christmas - but I'll probably have to get back to the original firmware first.

well i took off the screen protector, and still pretty the same issue. anyway but now atleast it's under repair. so waiting for the phone i hope to get it before xmas.
I have a dead spot around the O and L key when typing messages in the landscape position.
Should I back-up my phone and remove all private data when getting it repaired?
had a sticker - same thing
i removed mine as well - and same thing.
talked to HTC - but they dont have a repair place in Israel - so i will have to send it abroad to the UK maybe for repair.
I still dont understand - if this is a hardware issue - how does it fix it for a short while when i press the "end" key, and re-open the phone.
if the hardware was defective it should always happen and wont be "fixed" for a short while.
Same problem, dont believe it is hardware
Got the same problem when i update to another rom LOX or Hikari.
Wiping and going back to Modaco 3.0 and everything is perfect again. Have the feeling that it has also something to do with the radio images
Maybe also something to do in which order the roms and radio's are updated. Still testing but got the same problem. Reverting back to my modaco 3.0 nandroid and everything works again.
For me this is the stable version where the bottom line works:
Firmware: 1.5
Radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel:2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9
Build:Modaco Custom Rom 3.0 Core, SSH
Softwareversion:1.0.0A6288

I have a similiar problem on my Hero. Did you find a solution to it?
What's weird is that it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
But when flashing the cya mod with 2.1 my phone was stuck on the enter sim card code screen.. Could not press OK to continue.
My galaxy tab has been working great until about a week ago when I was using it and the screen just went blank. It is still on because it is backlit and the touch screen still works and I can hear the sounds and it vibrates but there is no display. I have searched every and found no fix! I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a Samsung rep and they were no help whatsoever. Id like to avoid sending my tablet in for repair.
My tablet is rooted but is still running the stock rom.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
I think there's a loose contact in there somewhere. Possibly the LCD as the digitizer seems to respond
Thanks for the reply. I gave in and battled two customers support reps the first of which hung up on me while trying to transfer me within the first 5 minutes. If it's not a hardware issue and anyone else has a fix ill be checking this. If not then I'm probably gonna send it in for repair.
Probably some moron applied pressure on the screen on the units when it comes in bundle order, like when you press an LCD for too long it creates a rainbow? most cases it just dies.

Hi guys, I wonder how did the problem was fixed. I´m having a similar problem with a 8 months tab. After 02 weeks turned off, when I turned it on the screen came up with reddish noise (like a TV without signal) e turned to blank right after. I´ve charged the battery during the night and tried again. The image came garbled and turned again as before going blank just after. Trying to reset and hard reset produced no result.
As I bought this tab in USA and am in Brazil now no service rep was keen to take it back.
It seems to me being a hardware problem (a bad conection may be??). I´ve seen some videos on you tube how to desassembly it (does not seem much difficult). Would you, guys, think is worthfull? Send it back to USA going to cost some money and problably months of time...

Hi,
I just bought this second hand SII and I found out that there are burnt pixels on the screen. I added a picture so you guys can see, sorry about the quality. Anyway, I tried to run a dead/stuck pixel all night long and it didn't do much. I heard about the *#0*# menu but it doesn't work on Cyanogenmod 9. Should I flash back to a stock version to get to the menu? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
Does anyone have an idea?
IMO, return back to stock, and unroot your phone. And then try the dead pixels test. If you still feel that there are any problems with the screen, you could go to the nearest service centre. They should be able to solve your problem.

Yeah, this is what I did. I restored it to my original firmware, let's hope they're not gonna be a ***** because the phone was rooted with another kernel.
I went back today at the same time I left it yesterday and they just gave me a refurbished one in a perfect condition, I'm really satisfied with Samsung's support. If this happens to anyone, bring it back to Samsung ASAP.
I sent mine off
I sent mine off to be repaired with the same problem. Apparently it was 'repaired' but I'm pretty sure they sent me a different handset in perfect condition (mine was still in amazing condition). I'm OK with that.

we need more info.
What android version are you on?
Have you rooted/unlocked your bootloader?
What ROM are you using?
What kernel are you using?
What other modifications have you done?
What was the last thing you did before this problem occured?
well my bad because of short explaination
i am running android 4.0.4, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with AOSP rom. the last thing i'd remember was flashing the rom. i think maybe because i have dropped my phone on the floor, so the hardware become malfunction. just my assumption.

You dropped the phone, and now its not working....its not too hard to figure out what happened.
The screen is broke and no amount of flashing will bring it back.
Its time to put your hand in your pocket and pay to get it fixed. If you can afford to take it back to the shop then try ebay to get a screen and fit it yourself.
well thats great. thanks for helping me throughout this thing. will try to solve this problem ASAP.
I cant find a straight answer anywhere. I bought a Nokia Lumia 920 a week and a half ago and I'm on my third handset. This is because each one has been apparently faulty.
The first handset I had was great until the screen started to flicker/shimmer to the point where it hurt to look at it. I got that one replaced with a second device, which was better, up to the point the flickering returned and it froze, shut off and wouldn't turn again. I got this one replaced with a third device and this one was flickering/shimmering straight out of the box.
I have looked on google followed tips and tricks to try and get this phone working but to no avail. So I just wondered if you guys knew of anything im missing or a ROM I can install to fix these problems or future updates which will fix these problems because I am going into the EE store tonight to get my money back. I am so annoyed because its a beautiful phone and I would like to keep it.
Thanks
Sam

Sounds to me you have something in your area causing it. Maybe a very strong electrical/magnetic field. Just seems odd three in a row would have the same issue and so far I am pretty sure you are the only one to report this since you found no answers as well.
Keep in mind that per FCC rules your phone must accept interference but may not cause interference. So if there is something in your area causing it then you are out of luck as it is not an issue with the phone.
Unless its the entire area of bristol or im just magically electro magnetically charged i dont think its that. I'm not the only one who is getting this problem, I said I cant find a definitive answer. I cant find an answer about updates or patches that would fix this problem. I understand that phones and radiowaves are very susceptible to interferance but this problem is happening in different places and at different times.
I've managed to find that the shimmering will happen more while multi tasking so having headphones plugged in, music and trying to access the xbox app.
