I'm having a really strange issue with my gear fit:
1. Screen is black
2. Screen responds to touch(!) - I unpair the device and pair it again, when i press the left(top) part of the screen (confirmation button) it stops vibrating...
3. I am able to turn it off and on but the screen is still black (Samsung logo does not appear)
4. Bluetooth works fine
5. Kies3 also recognizes the device
6. It happened randomly a few times - the screen turned on and was responsive to touch but when i try to do anything it freezes and goes black again. I noticed that I can even change the wallpaper and clock through the Gear Fit Manager. I thought that it could be just the screen issue but I've never dropped it and as I mentioned - it responds to touch.
This problem appeared out of nowhere - I've left the watch (turned off) for a month on my desk, the battery was at 40% today, tried to turn it on and...
Due to the screen failure I cannot put it in the download/recovery mode. Is there a way to do it with screen off?
I know it's stating the obvious but have you done a full reset on it? (Hold the button down, a good 8 seconds, until it forces it to reboot)

Just my 2 cents,I had to hold it down more like 20 seconds, way more than seems logical.
From my Galaxy Note 2
Has there been an answer to this because I've been having the same issue with mine for about 4 months. As stated before, it turns on but screen stays blank but I know it's working because it vibrates after I turn it on. Mine is a international one.
possibly a screen defekt? was the same thing with my when i rip it apart

Hello, my name is Udi. I have recently bought an ASUS Transformer Prime.
Last night I turned it on, it started loading showing the ASUS icon, and then the screen turned black. The device is working (sounds of E-mails, for example), but the screen is blank. Only some backlight is visible. Touch is working.
I am able to turn it off, after pressing the power button for 2 seconds, by guessing the position of the "yes" when it asks me if I want to turn the device off.
I tried reseting using the power button and the volume down button, but it doesn't work.
HELP ANYONE???

Sounds like a bad display cable, take it back and exchange it for a new one.

probably returning it on monday to ASUS support. thank you
Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie at rooting.
I have used CM for 3 months but for a week it got a little strange.
Scenario 1) When I push the power button to get to lock screen, the soft buttons' light turn on for a moment but no change happens on screen. I push power button again, the same result. No other respone from my mobile. If I push power button for 10 sec to reset, i see a little green or purple light beam from the bottom right. After a while, it disappears. And still no response. I remove the battery as a last resort and put it back, when I push the power button, it's the same. Little colorful light beams...
Scenario 2) A short time ago, while I was playing a game on it, the screen just turned off and I pushed the power button... as you guess, the story goes on the same way.
It's now off, I couldn't get to it in any way.
What can I do to solve and how?
You guess it's urgent.
Sorry for my poor English, thanks in advance.
Can you restart the phone in download mode, or recovery mode?
I just figured out something:
The phone turned on and I disabled developer settings. After this, when the screen is locked and off and I push the power button, I see nothing on the screen (maybe a little purple or green beam at the right bottom) but the soft buttons turn on. I slide right to unlock without seeing anything, I pass the lock screen and it's now open. (when I touch the screen, the soft buttons turn on again and again as it should be) I just scroll the main pages right and left, push the volume or main button, they work. (it beeps when the sound is max) after 30 - 40 seconds... yay! The screen is on! It's totally the same all the time. It needs time to turn on?
Is it a software problem or is my screen about to break down?
Thanks again!!
it's a software problem. You can either factory reset, run the trim command if you're running android 4.3, or change to a different ROM.
It all started 2 days ago, when watching a clash of clans replay the screen turned off for the energy saving thing. I pressed the power button to bring it back, but the screen didn't turn on, i could hear the game sounds, and the touch screen was working, after the replay ended i was able to tab the buildings in my village and hear the sound they make. I pressed some random combination of buttons, i think its power+volume down and the screen turned on. It happened a second time during that day, and i was able to turn the screen on again. But the day after that trick didn't work and the tablet was stuck with a black screen.
I tried a factory reset, but the menu for it wouldn't appear, the odin menu by the other hand worked fine. The recovery menu should appear when with the tablet turned off you press volume up + home + power in that sequence, and releasing the power button at the samsung logo screen. But the menu never appeared, so i navigated it blindly and i think i managed to reset it, at the next accension i was prompted with the personal information field, name, google account, time settings etc..
The phone started again, with all default settings, and all my files where gone (so im assuming the factory reset worked) but when the screen turns off it doesn't come back by pressing the power button, it comes after trying a few combinations (and again i think it is power + volume down and wait a few seconds).
So im worried it was all in vain, also the screen brightness is bugged, and changes the colors, the become reddish with low brightness and some colors disappear.
Edit: After i let the screen turn off for the third time today, it doesn't come back on. So im back at the black screen...
Good evening folks,
I am in need of help. I've been having issues with my tab S3 (SM-T820) for the last month or so. I notice that when i let the device charging over night, after i disconnect it, the screen goes black. I know the device is on, since the button lights are active. I've performed forced reboots (holding power + volume down buttons), and screen remains black, but device is on. I've performed hard resets via the odin software and the firmware, and yet the screen remains black (again, device on, button lights on). If i connect the device to a charger, when the screen is black, the screen turns starts displaying a black "speckled" display (black screen with color dots everywhere). When i see that, i start pressing the power button, turning the screen on and off continuously, until i finally get the screen to appear. Problem is that once i turn off the screen (not the device), again the screen will go to black and not appear anymore, until i keep messing with the power button again. I'm finally at lost since i sent the device to squaretrade for warranty support, and they keep sending it back as repaired (all they did was a factory reset, which is what i have done via the Odin software). Any idea on what to try next? I have though about disassembling the device and verifying the display cable is correct, but just seems irrelevant that it could be a hardware issue since eventually the screen does come on again (after trying countless of times), plus, i don't know how to disassemble this thing. Any ideas or recommendations?
Thank you in advance
My Tab S7 plus is behaving strangely in last few days. When my battery is over I think 25-30%, or when the tablet is connected to a charger, and when I press the power button (or double tap to wake) the screen blinks for a millisecond, it is also happening when you restart or power on the device, the screen blinks twice before the Samsung splash screen appears. But the strange thing is that it does not happen when the battery is below 25-30%, neither when powering or restarting the device or waking the device.
Is anyone else facing the similar problem? I tried to format the data, but the issue is still there. Thnx
Mine does that too, but I was only able to use for about an hour so ,I haven't had time to figure it out yet
