Hello all - So I have 2 GS3s (International), one has a cracked glass screen (still working fine) and the other has a fine screen but when it boots I just get scrambled white and colour lines.
I only need one so was going to get someone to switch the screens but I have been told that the scrambled screen issue may follow the screen around?
I have tried the following on the scrambled screen:
Booted into recovery/reset mode (Volume Up, Power and Home) - this gives me a scrambled screen which looks similar but different to normal boot.
Booted into download mode, pictures and text all seem fine here - so the screen at the heart is OK I assume. I have tried loading CM through Heimdall but keep getting error with failing to receive PIT.
Can I get any suggestions of how I could proceed or what the error may be? The scrambled screen is currently on a stock ROM and has never been flashed.
Thanks
If the screen works fine in download mode then the is nothing wrong with it. The coloured lines are due to a fried motherboard.

Ok So my TFP starts out of the blue rebooting on me from time to time. and then i had to reboot it like 3 times or more to get it to where when i slide to unlock that it would actually unlock instead of have the lock circle on the unlock but never go any place then it would reboot by itself. i got stuck in a loop where no matter how many times i rebooted it got stuck on lock screen and rebooted. so i hit the reset button and jumped in 5.8.2.0 and restored from a back up. it booted up but i noticed that i my home key and setting from the right side did not work. and the lock screen does not come up any more when i turn on and off the device. Anyone have this problem? seems no matter what rom ive tried same results. lock screen no longer comes up right side quick setting no longer work. i did wipe everything before flashing. also for a side not tried to restore to stock image from my backup and got error while it was trying to put the data folder back. ive always used the 5.8.2.0 so not sure what the hell is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Almost feels like there is a problem with my primes memory.
We have here a i9300 phone from which the display turns black (as if the screen is switched off) when there is a call being made. The call can not be ended because of the black screen. Home button wont help to switch the screen back to the home screen and the only thing which helps to get the screen back is when the call is answered and the other end hangs up. This happens on different firmware, factory reset did not help. Happens on Omega ROM and om CM10 ROM ... and even on stock which we just flashed back on it. Looks like the proximity chip gets confused and seem to think the phone is kept to the ear. So different Modems have the same result ... Any idea what might be wrong? ... Hardware bug?
My S2 boots up fine (screen very bright and animation color not natural) after finishing boot the soft keys lights up but the screen goes black. When i press the home button the screen just flickers, shows the screen for a split second then goes black.Sometimes after many attempts pressing the power button it wakes but screen at full brightness and color is not natural. When i try to press the screen brightness to adjust it goes black immediately.
What i have tried so far, bought a new LCD screen and replace but problem persists. So its not a LCD problem. It was running stock ICS so i flash stock JB after wiping, no help. Root with Philz kernel but when i go to recovery screen goes black so i try Speedmod kernel with CWM recovery and the screen shows the Recovery menu I try to flash a custom rom (can't remember which one) but it won't boot up stuck at splash screen.I even flash GB and ICS stock still no luck.
The phone works fine calls can still get through, download mode screen and recovery screen ok. I actually have not use this phone for a year but the last time i use use it was working fine.
Google all the different Samsung device if anyone has this problem but no one seem to have the problem that i have so maybe if anyone knows or suggest anything else which i haven't tried.
Thanks for viewing
I have found the root of my problem, the damn brightness control in settings is not working. Brightness is at full, unable to set to auto or manually dim the screen.
Screen will only wake with black background. Have to tear apart the phone and figure whats wrong
My tablet is HKC P077A with 8GB ROM, 512 RAM and a 7'' Touch screen (Android 4.0.3). I am having 2 problems
When I switch on the tab, first "HKC" logo comes to screen and then disappears to show "android". This is standard. But after that the thing wont move forward. Just keeps on showing "andriod" with a flashing like thing implying the loading process. But after long wait there is no start screen and nothing changes. It just hangs there....
But if somehow got it to get into normal working(I donno how, but It sometimes boots ok and gets into normal working mode, with home screen and apps and everything). So once I get it right the other problem I am having is that the touch is giving VERY bad response. I have to click at spots multiple times to select that thing. Also the response is very slow. Its like the tablet is hanged. But when I tried connecting a mouse (through OTG) and everything works fine again. Is my touchscreen gone bad..??
I am already done with, reset (from "settings> backup and reset") [I cant find how to do factory reset on this model from "off" state(read below)]
I have tried to get into reset screen by pushing "Power Button+Vol up" button. Then I know the tab gets turned on (I can hear a small white noise from the loudspeaker) but nothing comes to screen. So the "Robot with heart open" is never shown. I also tried using "power button + Volume down", this takes me to a screen written in chinese. Now, I don't know Chinese but from the look and feel, its a troubleshooting window, where I can check weather components of my tablet are working (eg. I click one menu(with difficulty), then the front cam turns on, another menu makes loud sounds from speaker and another flashes many colors in screen etc). I found that most are ok except something called "T" (On the screen, its the last item to the right, is it "touchscreen"??)
So, what can I do to get my tab to work smooth again..? Is the touchpad having trouble..? Need I do any specific troubleshooting..?? Any Ideas on which key combinations to get on to the "factory reset" menu from off state..??
Also can u please specify the key combinations to the tablet factory-reset menu from "off" state.
hey guys,
so lets start from the exact moment death plagued my phone. With the phone turned on and properly working I removed the sim card to clean out dust from certain areas of my razr to make it look well kept lol. Little did I know, this small action made my phone screen go black. So i continued to do a manual power down ( power button + vol. down). after i did this the screen suddenly came to life and it appeared as if someone unplugged the tv cable from a tv set and your left with gray static. Well after this i went directly to the boot screen under "AP fastboot flash mode" to see what happened. this appeared: Device is LOCKED . status code : 0. Guys i tried droidrazrutility 1.82 to flash ISC back on and did an entire data wipe. To my dismay the exact same screen of gray static appeared after a successful flash/boot. Please any advice?
