this morning i noticed that in portrait mode, if i tapped the black box to reply to a message it didnt auto bring up the keyboard or expand to the bigger black box like it used to. i thought this might just be swype or a setting but no keyboard or setting changed it. if i turned it landscape it was fine. at first i thought there was a screen sensitivity problem but clicking in the same area on something on the homescreen for example such as contacts was fine.
i factory reset thinking it would help. as well as it not helping, i have now noticed general screen probs. for example, if i press and hold a widget on the homescreen, sometimes it doesnt register and pick it up, sometimes it picks it up but drops it and even if i manage to drag it down to the trash can, it doesnt instantly turn red to drop it in but i have to waggle it a bit for it to recognize the gesture.
could this be a KH3 firmware bug? should i put the kg5 polish one on if it would be fine on a uk phone?
thanks guys, marc
could this be a KH3 firmware bug?
Unlikely
should i put the kg5 polish one on if it would be fine on a uk phone?
Apart from CSC it should work

when you say apart from the csc, could you expand on that. i believe intratech's downloads are all in file.
i have started the process of downloading kf3, apparently the latest uk one.
if it doesnt help, any ideas why the screen has suddenly started playing up?
if i have to return it to vodafone, any idea what firmware to put on and how to remove the evidence that i have flashed it?
cheers guys
Hello
Today my atrix screen suddenly started to show bright stripes from top to bottom of the screen in every screen column which is not black.
This problem started after I replaced to an older sim to import some missing contacts , but it happen only after I returned to my regular sim card.
I tried to take off the battery and return, didnt work.
I tried to do a factory reset from the recovery and re-install my rom, didnt work.
I am adding a pic of the screen (its open in the apps screen)
Please let me know if there is any software solution to this or is it a hardware problem that requires replacement/fix
(this is an AT&T atrix with open bootloader and with alien rom installed).
Thanks !
update : now I somtimes dont get any picture on the screen when I turn the screen on
I would guess its a problem in the LCD I just dont understand how can the LCD stop working after only 4 month...
Hi!
This is my first post at xda, so first i'd like say welcome to all community .
Ok, lets back to the topic. So, few weeks ago I noticed a strange artefact (or something like that, I don't know how to really name it) on screen, it usually appears when I pull down status bar, especially on app with white background, its looks similar to this (screenshot in attachments) but its only white and black, it appears on bottom part of the screen, like a straight line, coming from left to right, I can't get a screenshot of this coz it appears only for a second, then dissapear. Firstly it appeared when I was using a dirt unicorns ROM, then I switched to SlimBean ROM with the Temasek kernel, but it also appeared on stock kernel. Should I ignore it, or it is damaged screen or GPU and is there any chance to fix it?
Oh, and sorry for bad English .
Thats a screen setup or testing picture probably an app or the display settings .

hello,
Sorry for my bad english, i'm from the Netherlands.
I have a Samsung s3-I9300 with a strange screen problem.
When i open any app on the Phone, i see black cubes all over the screen (same distance between the cubes)
I have already tried to replace factory settings using the BIOS, but it didn't work and the problem is still there.
I am not able to use the Phone, because every time i open any app i get the cubes and it freeze totaly. And over and over again i take out the battery to shutdown the Phone (not responsive at all buttons). After the Phone is off i hold the power button and it starts normaly, till i open any app.
(touchwiz is the same problem with the cubes.
Kind regards,
Casper
Can you add a photo of it?
Hi everyone!
I just received an used Galaxy S5 from someone and it was working properly, it was a gift for sure.
I had some fun exploring it as I never had any phone like that one, I downloaded something was spending time on that app and the phone was turned off because the battery was low.
When I charged it everything was ok but the opening screen like Samsung Galaxy S5 , powered by android and it never went to the main phone screen it was loading and like it couldn't load till the end.
So I was able to enter the recovery menu before booting and I believe I made some mess there including chosing the wipe system option and so on, anyway the phone finally restarted , went to normal screen but after some attemps it resulted in having Galaxy image on my screen when rebooting with some sort of extra image flowing in the background / some colour stuff etc. I just took it as it's reinstalling the soft from new , like a fabric version you know so I left the phone on table and it took like an hour and it wasn't finished , maybe I could have waited some long but I decided to reset the phone at this point and the screen went dark and never returned. I can observe some blue light in the top left corner of the phone, my friend took this phone from me yesterday and even tried to use some Odin software to install software however he made it all in let's call it Blind mode. Phone seems now to have some sort of voice in foreign language, I dont know what is it , but like a navigation in car.
Screen remained dark from that time and never came back.
Do you guys see any chances saving my phone ?
Appreciate any help and tips, ps: be aware I am not a phone pro and I know to much about reinstalling soft etc. but I have intentions to do it with instructions if necessary and if it could help
Thanks!
Hi let try to explain me better :
1.extra image flowing in the background / some colour stuff etc.
Do you mean when Samsung Logo appear like this :

you have burning effect which means your LCD is damaged it looks for example something like this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkYXobLkjDA
When you say you hear Voice like in Car Navigation that means that Voice Assistent (Talkback) is On try to disable by fast pressing 3 times home button if not re-flash latest version of firmware just tell me what is 7 and 8 number from imei which you can find under the battery on sticker.
To send you correct firmware for your Phone Country Code .
Bad things if nothing of that can help you probably your screen is dead , or flat cable doesn't have good contact on mainboard .
Hi Teddy
Thanks for your time spent on trying to help me here ! It's really appreciated!
I would like to say that -> 1 . yes exactly I seen that image when everything worked properly and it seemed that my phone will have system reinstalled , this animation was loading for about 1 hour or so, and at this point I have cancelled it and my screen went dark forever!
2. No it's just dark totally dark nothing can be seen, everything was just perfect before ( phone is from Germany used about 3 years I guess as the battery has such date on it 2015.03... ) I live in Poland so it would be the best if the software was in polish language.
3. Yes I hear the TalkBack for sure and it's no problem to enable/disable it , anyways screen won't come back to become working properly
I believe I might have screwed this phone a little or maybe I am wrong and I didn't do anything bad at all why I am saying this : short story how it was
1. I received it few days back and I was there with my sister I took it from her and was enjoying it like a kid enjoys a new toy
2. I was having fun on it, it happened it was dead because battery went down to 0% but I charged and everything was perfect, after that I started downloading extra stuff -> android apps and I noticed after another charging it stuck on Samsung booting screen ( White letters on black background ) it didn't want to move forward to the system ( normal functioning ) - at this point I knew it won't probably load anymore and I won't be able to use it so we went to console let's call it ->
3. When we were in the console there were few options, to reboot, to remove something / swipe ( I am not perfect in english all right so I did it intuitionally ) , I believe I for sure chose to remove /swap system and then as you mentioned in YouTubue 4 sec video I could see the samsung loading screen with that beautiful logo and animation, so I thought the system is reinstalling and it will take a while, and here I waited about 40 mins - 1 hour and I gave up and restarted the phone here, after that the screen went totally dark and dead but... ->
5. But after rebooting I was still able to see just 1 option, not any other , this one option was to connect device via odin and install system , with android alien green funny picture on it , waiting for connection
6. Short after something happened and I couldn't see even that, screen was dark and remained dark for good
7. Yesterday phone was taken by my friend to his home and he claims he reinstalled system, it was possible to move intuitionally by fingers and voice navigation but screen never came back
8. Now it's impossible to see anything on the screen in fact, I can't even determine if I am accessing pre-boot menu where I could reinstall anything or not, really I can't know it so it's just dark , standard buttons on the bottom of the Galaxy S5 are bit highlighted by white light like an icon on the left and right of the bottom wide button
9. The diode on the top left of the phone happens to light regulary in blue / dark colour
10. That's really all - I don't know here whether I should go to some dude working on phones and if he tells me $50 to fix it in Poland it will be bit over 1/3 value of new phone so is this worth an effort I don't really know, nothing helps really I tried everything my colleague used to fix some iphones himself so he isn't totally newbie to this subject
