Hello everyone!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 sm900 and rooted my phone while on ics. After a year or so started getting random restarts and thought its a perfect chance to upgrade it to Lollipop. My friend did it for me, and it works perfectly fine except icons after a while started behaving strangely, it's like they got corrupted (black squares, blue sqares, dissapeared icon or false shadowing of the text etc..).
I have tried factory reset- didn't help.
Any help? Thanks for understanding

I have searched through the forum and but nothing worked to fix this weird incident.
I never rooted the phone and it just suddenly blacked out after I finished a phone call and let it sleep. I tried to reset the phone by using the volume button but still doing the same thing.
I do not use GPS so it has been disabled for entire its life.
Since I am in Canada I can't bring it to T-mobile store.
It only shows the status bar on the top and the buttons lit up but nothing work.
Thank you.
P.S. I only been used this for like 1 & half months. lol.
Have you tried pulling the battery?

Yes sounds like you bricked your phone! The font installer app will do that when trying to change the system fonts to another type some fonts will work but others will not and you end up with an expensive paper weight! I'm not familiar with this model of phone but I'm afraid that you will have to send it in for service or purchase a new one! Sorry !
hello friends
i have jb sense 4+ rooted dsx on stock ROM.
i have installed just a mod for notification bar recently then and did nothing else to my phone but after few days when i clicked on any video my phones goes black every time and i have to restart it by removing battery to work again. i did a factory reset from custom recovery and the video started playing normal but after some days it is happening again.
help is appreciated
thanx
I'm at the end of my rope with this. Several days ago my s5 started refusing to drop down the notification panel and the quick settings menu. I'm running stock rooted kitkat 4.4.2. I did a factory reset, disabled xposed (in case some notification bar mod was causing this even though I hadn't changed my xposed settings for months), got a replacement SIM card, went back to an earlier version of google, and now sometimes it will work for a whole day and then stop responding again. I took out the external SD card and it still does it. I uninstalled anything new (not much) that had recently been installed. I have been using Nova as my launcher, so I tried going back to just Touchwiz, but no change.
It's not just the drop down screens, when I open Titanium Backup and try to use the "clear" or "menu" buttons at the top of the screen, they don't respond either. It's like something is freezing the top half inch of the screen (I measured it in frustration).
I went into the diagnostic menu and checked the screen and everything is responding as far as I can tell--the line goes up to about an eighth of an inch from the top of the screen but the pictures for this when I googled looked like that so maybe they aren't supposed to reach the actual top of the screen.
Googling shows that several models at least of Samsung, and even some Sony, are showing this problem and nobody seems to know how to fix it.
Has anyone got any clues they can give me about this? I can't seem to find what the problem is.
Update--I tried flashing Hispasian Kernel but it didn't solve the problem. I tried defrosting everything I had frozen with Titanium Backup and that didn't solve the problem.
Flash latest stock lollipop FOL1 and see if it's still there. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware defect and you'll need to get your phone repaired.
That's a good idea. Thanks!
Having a bit of a problem since yesterday, all of a sudden the colours on my Swift 2+ have gone really, really dark and on the lock screen I can see shadows/burnt images of the status bar and nav bar almost like overlapping my screen? I thought maybe it was something to do with a theme I installed, so I uninstalled all of them to no avail, so then I thought I'd do a factory reset on my device, still hasn't fixed it... Is this to do with the hardware itself or is it a software issue? Thank you in advance for any help
That happened to me a few times on my swift 2+ but it went away after I restarted the device and it hasn't happened to me since I updated it to the latest software. Also, I think the faded nav bar is something that's part of the software and not screen burn because it's not there when the device is turning on or when it's in the bootloader

Had a similar problem twice recently but by rebooting that got rid of the problem.
