Hi every body!!

even when taking pictures the ghost of the buttons are visible or on soft reset.
i tried a lot of roms but the problem presists
i need help from you guys i am desesperate

Sounds like screen burn to me and if that is the case no amount of ROM flashing is gonna fix it as its a "damaged" screen.
your not the only one dude

HI
Hope you can help...
When i start my phone i get some coloured lines down my screen they go after a second or so.
I was going to root my phone, when i put it in download mode the lines do not go. Is this faulty hardware or a software thing.....
Problem is i can not read what the screen says in download not etc. (if this really matters, i do not know)
Cheers for you help, ive tried to attach a photo.
Sorry if this should go in Q & A please can a mod move....
Does this only happen in bootscreen/Download mode? Or always, also when booted fully, in homescreen? EDIT: I see it's just for a second at boot. :S
Anyway, take it to the store/warranty or wherever before it's too late. You should be covered by warranty if it's still less that 1/2 years since you haven't rooted.
Get it replaced mate ..!!
I have to say im impressed. I rang Orange UK at 7.30pm Sunday my new phone was delivered at 9.30 am Monday!!

Leave it for a few hours and let it do it's thing. If that doesn't work then hold the Volume + button and the POWER button together, the phone should reboot, and gears should vanish. If none of these work, go to Nokia support and explain your problem, they wont bite

press and hold both on the volume down button and power key for about 10 seconds.
The phone should then reboot. When the nokia logo appears press the below sequence
Volume up
Volume down
Power key
Volume down
Make sure that you try this while the phone is charged.
When I did this... the gears continued to spin for about 5 minutes, but then the phone restarted and made it back to the "Welcome to your phone" screen. Success!
This actually happened to me yesterday after AT&T released the GDR2 firmware update.
The gears spun for about 2 hours before I finally did the Volume Down + Power reboot.
Unfortunately, it didn't ever recover - or so I thought.
Giving it about 5-6 minutes after each reboot (and trying to Volume Up, Volume Down, Power, Volume Down sequence during reboot several times), about 2 more hours later, it suddenly started booting.
However, I am now in an indeterminate Firmware state...
I "have Amber" and some mess of Firmware. But I'm missing many major features of GDR2 (like the FM Radio, Glance works, but no Double Tap to Wake, no Data Sense).
Nokia Pro Camera won't work - says I need "to check for updates on my phone"...
Anyhow, I'm now going to figure out if I can flatten the phone and get a successful flash if I can back up some of the personal data in it first.
Yay for working phone!
Weird for the firmware state it's in...

Same thing happened to me. Did a reset and it locked up.
There is a fix. with the Nokia Care Suite files.
Hi everybody i am asking for advice on trying to repair a phone for a family member the phone is a galaxy alpha F variant UK stock rom, factory unlocked and unrooted the problem started after finishing a call the handset was left un attended and when it was later picked up the screen was black but does not appear broken aywhere and does not appear to respond to touch
i have tried un successfully to get it into recovery or download modes the handset turns on and the blue lights come on and you can hear the start up tone but see nothing on screen, it also charges and i have tried a new battery, odin does recognise a device but as i cant get it into download i cant flash a stock rom which i have already downloaded.
So my question is, is there any software that i can download to diagnose whether or not the screen is dead or whether it is a f/w issue or is there a way around this where i can use a different tool to get into the handset and flash a new stock rom in case the current f/w is corrupted
Thanks in advance for any useful help and advice
Please understand that i am a newb to this so if i have made some mistakes or my questions have been answered elsewhere previously i do apologise
I think it seems pretty obvious that the problem is the display itself
Hi BigHands,
I faced a problem having the exact same symptoms as yours twice in the last few month: screen was staying black but phone reacted to some "external" actions (ON/OFF), blue light.
Not sure what happened exactly, but removing the battery and trying to restart the phone finally brought the device back to life after trying more than than 10 times!!!
So in my case, the display was probably not the (only) root cause.
Really weird however that I needed to reboot the phone >10times to make it work: usually when software is screwed either one single power cycle will bring the device back to life or it will never power up again!
Anyways, a FW issue is still a possibility considering the number of bug this phone has (for the price it was sold, that phone is definitely the worse gadget I ever owned!)... But it seems there is a bunch of FW updates on going on this model accross the world, so there is still a little hope things might improve... Samsumg may have woken up; who knows...

Hi, I bought a ZTE K92 (AT&T Primetime) tablet new and unlocked on eBay back in June 2018 for $149 and did not open it up or turn it on/set it up till just yesterday (10/6/18) because of a move to a new residence and I kinda forgot about it since I do have quite a few other devices and it was packed up in boxes I just never got to unpacking until recently. Anyways... I was hoping for a good experience since it had received good reviews and seemed like it was a fairly high speced tab, it is a nice device, unfortunately, at&t screwed it up with A LOT of they're bloatware apps, one named as "device help" continually reloads an icon on the home screen EVERY time I unlock the home screen! I've removed it a kajillion times and tried like hell to disable it but it's greyed out, tried to remove at&t associated files through my file mgr, but to no avail since I don't have root access. BUT... These are minor problems!...
MOST DISAPPOINTING/DEPRESSING is that I have *thin black/grey (depending on the background colors being displayed) lines on the entire screen/display, in normal (vertical) view mode the lines are *horizontal*, in landscape mode the lines are *vertical*, AND... they pulse on/off at a steady rate , as if it was related to the clock but at a slower rate, approximately on for 2 seconds, then off for 2 seconds continuously.
It has done this since first starting the tablet up new out of the box!
I have searched hell and high water to find the cause and or a fix, I've tried apps for screen issues, I've tried restarting, I've tried YouTube videos on how to fix, but nothing has worked and what's worse is i have not been able to find ANYTHING related to my exact problem, only problems with flickering or colored lines on they're screens!
The closest thing I found in relation to my exact problem was certain screens made for Lenovo tabs/laptops, but I don't think the ZTE K92 tablet has the same display as those devices?!?
I have not done a factory reset or a partition wipe as I don't think it will solve the problem.
I DO NOT really want to take the tablet apart to mess with the screen ribbon cables!
It's running 7.1 nougat stock, and I have dev options enabled/on, I've tried different settings under drawing and hardware acceleration settings but it had no effect.
I was wondering if there's a way I could get the tablet back to marshmallow O.S. for a fix, but again, I don't think that would solve the problem, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware/setting or calibration issue.
I did not find or attempt any firmware updates as I'm worried if I do and it doesn't solve the problem, I might not be able to undo the update, and I'm a firm believer in NOT updating, a don't fix what ain't broke kinda thing, yeah I'm old school.
In my opinion, I think it is a screen digitizer issue and I honestly don't know if there is a fix for this AND if I could find a *qualified* technician to fix it!?
This is really very annoying and sucks!
Is there not a single sole through XDA that knows about this type of problem AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, does anyone know how to fix it!?
P L E A S E ! ! ! This is such a shame for this tablet as it is a really nice device.
