Heya
I've been searching around and havn't found any issues like this
But granted it's hard to describe and thus hard to search for
My Galaxy S2 is new (A few weeks) yet since new has had this issue. When powering the screen on (Lockscreen) the screen displays a white vertical line just left of the middle of the screen before powering on.
This line is NOT visible at all at any other time. Ran some screen tests without any evidence. Seems only to occur before unlocking
I have compared it side-by-side with my brothers Galaxy S2 so I know this isn't normal
Occasionally it will power-on normally but this is quite rare.
Had this issue from Stock, moved from rom to rom without change
Is this something to worry about? Could this be a sign of a failing screen, lose cable, crappy connection etc?
Is it worth sending it back under warranty?
The last thing I want it to do is to fail after the warranty expires
Cheers!

Sorry buddy, but It's really no prob.
It's an effect called CTR-animation (on or off)
This is an effect from an old TV turning on oder off.
So the display get crashed on a small line and goes off (CTR-off) or the display build up from white line (CTR-on)
If u using a Rom, just check ur apps for JKAY Deluxe... That's the app which manage such things.
There u can search for the two effects and turn on or off.
CHEERS ;-)

Heh thanks for your input
But it doesn't look anything like the CRT animations, nor is it pretty and well animated (And its a vertical, non-centred line. not a horizontal one
Also this was still present on the stock Samsung Rom

Oh... Then sorry buddy.
Hmm if also on stock u maybe should think about using ur guarantee (flashing on original back first, for sure).
That's really strange.

Ahhh well, was hoping I wasn't going to have to go down the warranty line
So, directly to samsung or through Mobiles.co.uk?
In the UK the seller is responsible for the warranty .
But you can go direct to Samsung .
Root or custom rom will void warranty restore to stock and reset custom rom counter .

Is there any sign of life in the screen when you reboot the phone?
Do you see the Samsung logo when your phone is starting up?

Any chance you installed Chainfire3D or any other third party GUI/GPU apps??
I've had this problem when using CF3D and just reflashed ROM...
Could try fix permissions in recovery?

No friend, I did not install any thing for more than a week except whatsapp up date three days a go.
I re-falshed the official IC room but nothing changed.

I think it's hardware issue. Send it to repair center if you still have a valid warranty

I've got the same problem too. I managed to get the phone into download mode (the screen didn't show a thing, but Odin recognized it as "ADDED"). Flahsed an official ICS ROM, but the screen keeps black, but the initialization sound can be heard, and the phone still rings when receiving a call!
Dead hardware...I supose...

I have the same problem as you, but this is something I found out yesterday:
If you go to a dark room, and you turn on your S2, you can see some sort of.. light black/grayish pixel spots over your screen. It is pretty hard to see, that's why you need to be in a dark room.
Did anyone else notice this, or am I the only one?

Hi I noticed it too, what I also noticed is that sometimes when using the face unlock on "waking" the phone up with the power key worked, I'm hoping it is not a hardware issue because it's intermittent.
Hi all.
I have this same problem with my screen on sgs2 . Also can see screen in darkness. Sound and phone works fine.
After opening up, came up with this problem
I opened up the back of the phone, to clean off some lint between the camera lens, and the glass on the outside, after closing it, This problem occurred.
The thing is, the touch screen works fine. I can navigate through the phone (using another Galaxy S2 to guide me of course), and everything. I can turn it off and on, etc.
So, this may be a hardware issue, but can someone chime in and let us know the specific hardware issue that may be in play here?
I'm having the same problem. I'm repairing a water damaged phone, and after the cleaning, it would hang on the galaxy S2 logo. I got it into download mode, and left it that way while I was Dling the proper Odin files, but when I came back 15 minutes later, it was a black screen. I finally realized it was still working, and navigated into download mode by memory, and successfully flashed the firmware. But now the screen that was working, refuses to turn on, although the capacitive lights do, and the phone is seemingly working normally.
It seems like it has to be something simple, the LCD shouldn't just die altogether for no reason. I'll keep messing around, and if I figure anything out, I'll report back. Or maybe someone else figures it out, and I can benefit!
As an update, I plugged the non working screen into a working S2, and it showed the Samsung logo on boot up. Then it went black again, but it can still show images, and did it multiple times. So the LCD works, but something is messing it up.

Hey guys!
I have the same problem... does anybody have an idea what's happening to our phones?
Not to beat a dead horse but I am trying to recover pictures from my sisters phone. I plugged in a working screen, get the Samsung logo on boot then a low lit black screen however the boot sound still plays, all buttons on the bottom light up and give heptic feedback and so on. I don't have any lcd lights though... Lastly when I have the phone off and plug into the wall I do get the battery charge symbol flash on the screen but then goes back to a black screen and the battery still charges. I plug the phone into a computer and can see it connected although cant get kies to work with it... Any updates from anyone else or ideas? This phone has pictures of her daughter that passed away and are irreplaceable. I am willing to try anything so she can hold onto those memories

Happens to me sometimes, haven't figured it out. Just thought it was one of those amoled things.

It happens for me also.. But i cause by quickly pressing tge power button..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
it also happens to me only when i unlocking with power button, i didnt noticed this when unlocking with home button because i rarely unlock with home button. Its a lot easier for me when I know I'm not the only one with this problem, and when i know that this isn't big deal. but i would like to know if there is a fix or what for this because it started to showing 3 weeks backwards suddenly, and it was happened to me today 2 times and this started to annoying me a little.
I noticed this twice today. Recently upgraded my unlocked 16gb gt i9300 model s3 to the 4.1.2 XXELLA update. Are you all on similar builds? Perhaps a jelly bean bug. Couldn't seem to replicate the problem. Will keep an eye out for it. Hope someone figures out why it's happening.
Once thing I do notice is when I have power saving on and I unlock, after about 2-3 seconds on the lock screen there's a slight flicker. Does anyone else get this? Could all be related to power saver perhaps?

I have the same issue since I flashed a ROM based on XXELLA, I've never noticed this issue before so I guess it's XXELLA-related.
Never had this problem for about 1 year. I droped the phone and cracked the screen. I had a new one, and after that the blue screen.

Have the exact same thing. And it happens randomly can't seem to replicate it. 4.1.2 XXELL4 and also after i got it back from repairs.
I started to think that this bug is similar to Sudden Death, but now it is "attacking" your AMOLED screen..... hmmmm...
My I9305 does it too, it's quite rare though. Might happen once every 3 weeks or so, and I use my phone a lot. As it's so few and far between I haven't been bothered by it.

i posted this about 3months ago no one believed me lol
BUT I HAVE IT TOO,,... we can start a club
Ok guys, first post here. My galaxy tab model GT-P5113TS is having an issue that I can't seem to find on any site including this one.
Little background, this problem first started several months ago. My wife ran the battery completely dead on the tab, we didn't have a "samsung" charger and couldn't get it to charge up. Bought new charger, got it charged, and ever since then, the screen will work for anywhere from 15-20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, then just stops working. Hitting the power button will turn the screen off, hitting it again brings up the lock screen, but the screen will still not recognize any touches. The side buttons still work, just not the touch screen.
Letting the tab sit for a couple hours is the ONLY thing that lets the touch screen work again. But it will only work for a minute or two again before it stops working. I tried a soft reset several times to no avail. Kind of forgot about the tab, left it for a while. Picked it up today after charging it and still no different than a couple months ago. I tried the factory reset several times and it made no difference. Usually the screen won't stay responsive long enough to make it through the whole set up process.
I'm pretty new to digging into these things. I'm not afraid to give it a shot, since the thing is useless in its current state. But most of the lingo and abbreviations are new to me. If anyone can point me towards a solution, I'd be VERY grateful! I'll do my best to answer any questions to help as well.
PS, we bought it used off ebay, so no warranty
Bump for some help!!

Well, you're in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the gt p7500/7501/7510/7511 or the galaxy tab 10.1 number 1 if you will.
So we can't help you, even if we wanted too (unless someone in this forum also owns a tab 2).
I suggest you take a look in the correct forum, I'm sure you'll have better luck there.

Rom- s5 sensations version 7
I was using my phone for the past two weeks with no problem, all of a sudden today it would not unlock, I held down the power button then a screen with all these different colours came up
It eventually went away and the screen went black again
Now nothing works it ill not power on and LED wont come on when charging
Can the phone have been hard bricked after 2 weeks of installing the custom rom? :/
Thanks in advance

Hi! This herna from XDA Assist.
Well, normally if you did not touch any deeper thing in your ROM you should have no problem if you have been using it for as much time. Anyway this question should be done in the above thread, so I will move it there so you can get a better reply from people using the same device or even the same ROM than you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help
I will move it to the original place where it should be, and wish you to get the answer you are waiting for.
Try usb jig to force download mode, if that doesn't work then it sounds like a brick -sorry.

I just dont understand how it could be bricked after being perfectly fine for 2 weeks and i had been using it like 5 minutes before no problem :/
Blame the emmc chip, it is very fragile and can go pop at any moment.
Try reading the dead boot recovery thread in general forum.
