It happenss when u hold the menu button before going form bootanimation to ur rom usually if u reboot it will go away
Questions should go in the questions section.
Shut down and pull the battery. Clean the screen with a soft cloth while you wait about a minute for the phone to discharge completely. Reboot and the problem should hopefully be solved.

I did a hard reset on a stock android rooted and now the samsung vibrant screen blinks off and on while booting. I tried booting into recovery but won't let me. Has anyone ever had this problem or know how to fix?

I recently purchased a Motorola Atrix 4G, its my first android phone and its been working well for a while. My fingerprint sensor stopped working after about 3 months of use. it first started taking long to recognize my print and now it just doesnt read. i cant even install a new fingerprint profile coz the sensor just wont read. I hope someone can help me fix this, but remember im still fairly new to the droid world so please run me thru step by step on how to resolve this. Im using Gingerbread v2.3.6.
One other thing, the phone hangs sometimes and restarts itself, anyone know a solution to this too?
Backup your personal data, apps, etc. and make a factory reset from recovery. Solves such problems mostly.

Like i said im fairly new to android. How do i back up my data and all. I knw thia sounds like a dumb question but some guidance would be helpfull.

I would recommend titanium backup for apps, sms backup+ for sms & call log. You can use your google account for contact list backup & recovery.
You can get to the recovery menu by holding power & volume down buttons together during phone's startup.

I need to root my device in order to run titanium backup. Whats rooting & how do i go about it?

It's pretty easy, you should search & read a little in the forums There is also a wiki page for Atrix.

Mine did the same thing. Had to get a replacement from eBay, cost a bit under 20$. Atrix is really easy to dismantle, iFixit have a detailed guide.

I managed to get another app to back up. I did the factory reset in settings but the fingerprint sensor still isn't reading. Or was i supposed to reset it when starting up the phone? Coz when i start up my phone & hold the power & vol down button it says fast boot & when i press the vol up button it says starting fast boot & gets stuck @ that. Suggestions?

Hold power & volume down buttons together until you see that phrase. Press volume down button again till you see the recovery, then press volume up to enter into recovery. That's it.

Honestly mine just died about a year ago and that was on stock Froyo. Since then received GB OTA and still no change. Now running Epinter's CM10 JB and still it's only a power button. GL!

If you have an International Atrix , you can try flashing Full Firmware Froyo in RSD, and then flashing Gingerbread 2.3.6
It will fix everything. But if you are using an ATT Atrix, you will hardbrick.
The one thing you can do now is a Factory reset.
Greetings,
Try a few other GB ROMs, if the problem persists you may have a faulty finger print reader!!

Your digitizer has died, you need to replace it.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
How and where do i replace a digitizer from. Like can i buy one online & how easy is it to replace?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Many many other threads exist about this already.
Yes, you can buy online. Moderately easy, depending on your level of experience. Some gotchas exist.
I'm not rooted and running 4.1.2. All of the sudden I'm stuck in headphone mode. I was not even using headphones at the time. It just popped up on its own. I have tried to plug something in and out several times but nothing works. I even tried jamming a small screw driver in it. The only thing I have not done is factory reset. Any other ideas that might help?

Did you try rebooting ? (You probably did ) so....

Try powering down your phone then take out the battery for about 30 seconds. The place the battery back in and boot your phone.

Ever since the kit Kat update sometimes if I go into an app it'll freeze and I'll hit the home button. Doesn't so anything so I hit the lock screen button and it goes black but it doesn't wake up. I have to do a battery pull. It's happened 3 times since the update. Anyone else have this issue?

Factory reset is probably your best option. Especially when you take an update.

I did do a factory reset after the update. But I'm gonna do another. ?

Sadly a reset didn't fix. It happened again this morning. I installed the SwiftKey Emoji beta a few days ago around the same time as the KK update. So I uninstalled that. I spoke to a Verizon CSR and they said that Samsung is aware of the issue and going to issue a fix. When? she didn't say. But I hope it was a simple fix uninstalling SwiftKey Beta app. But something tells me it won't
