Hi everyone !
I face a strange problem,
Last day, my nose started bleeding and a drop of blood has fallen on the lowest speaker. I washed it under clear water to get it off. (Since it's waterproof it shall not create any problems...)
Since this event, the sony style cover mode keep thinking that i'm opening and closing the smart cover.
Firstly, the screen was going on and off by itself, I wans't understanding what's happening since in recovery mode all is working fine.
Later, a pop up showed on my screen asking me to give permissions to smart cover app. I denied since I don't use it.
Luckily I have a smart cover that I don't use (it's not handy when fully opened so I stopped using it, it cannot be because of this since I flashed a lot of differents firmware since this day)
I paired the cover with the phone when the screen was on for enough time. It does had worked and instead of shutting down the screen, displayed the smart cover screen lock (A small square in the center of the screen, fitting with the window)
To avoid this, I deleted the smart cover app folder and datas using recovery, rebooted, miracle ! No more little square screen !
But... Even if the screen is as it should be, touchsceen is not working on the non window areas (it does work only in the square of the window. So I can't use touchscreen outside of this area.
I tried to delete all things I found related to "touchblock" in system and data but it does not worked...
I can do every actions on my phone using Adb with wifi or not, control on the screen using a mouse with otg or using wifi with teamviewer, or using recovery to do everything system side !
If someone is able to help me finding a solution let me know i'll be very grateful !
Thanks for reading (And sorry if i made mistakes in my explainations, English is not my first language )

I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:
watch?v=ixWozCI8sek
I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hello all,i'm using a 16Gb N9 WiFi only version,i'm on 5.1.1 stock rooted,mainly for AdAway use...I've been experiencing wierd issues for the last week or so,when either double tapping the screen,which doesn't seem to work 100% as has been until now.
What's more, i'm using a Moko Flip Case and flipping the cover doesn't always work as well.These are not concerning by themselves but despite which way i try to use to turn on the screen (double tapping,opening the cover,pushing power button) when the screen turns on and i swipe to unlock then immediately the screen turns off ,no matter how many tries i try to swipe to unlock,it turns off thus making a need for rebooting mandatory....
Has anyone else experienced this? Should i factory reset the tablet or is there a fix,mainly for the last part..Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Workaround
It has been happening ever since upgrade to 5.1.1. Reboot fixes it but is annoyance. I tried wiping cache and factory reset, but the issue still persists. The easiest solution is to left swipe on the camera to open the camera app, then use the back button to come back to login screen. This time around the pattern will work.

Does the problem go away when you take off the flip case? If so, put it back on and see whether you can make the screen go black depending on how you fold the case behind the tablet. If it's one of those three-part covers, flip the case to the back, then flip the outer third over once more - does that turn off the screen? The screen turns off when the magnets on the case and on the N9 are aligned, and this can also happen with the case flipped to the back.

Indeed it does go away without the case, I do have one of these three part covers. It works fine when the cover is on the back but I left for a business trip and left the cover at home at the moment. I'll definitely try when I get back! Thanks for the info!!
Sorry I was busy and didn't have time to check xda... Thanks both for your answers!!
My wife is having this same problem with the Nexus 9 I got her for her birthday... I got it with the official keyboard case, but when the problem starts happening, it continues to happen even when the tablet is completely removed from and separated from the case. I also tried running the camera from the lockscreen, returning to the lockscreen, and trying to unlock the tablet without success. She is just using the slide to unlock screen without any security.
weird...lucky mine doesn't do this...or knock on wood, hasnt yet lol
i have double tap to wake up tablet option from eX kernel and i also use a passcode unlock screen and i also have a moko type magnetic case...everything is fine for me(so far...)
ot: what lockscreen app passcode app works so that when u enter 4digits u DON"T have to press the enter key to get in...i hate having to press the enter
in iOS iphone u just need to enter 1 2 3 4 <unlocks> goes to homescreen
stock android : enter 1 2 3 4 ENTER key then it unlocks

Any help is appreciated
Check for smart cover option in smart assistance
Turn it off. The pic you posted comes when you use flip cover (when closed )
Have u applied any sceen protector covering upper right (nr front cam) side of screen it may cause this
There a proximity sensor and one other idnt know name but it should be uncovered when using phone.
Or the sensor is misbehaving.

That may be smart cover problem
Hi everyone!
I just received an used Galaxy S5 from someone and it was working properly, it was a gift for sure.
I had some fun exploring it as I never had any phone like that one, I downloaded something was spending time on that app and the phone was turned off because the battery was low.
When I charged it everything was ok but the opening screen like Samsung Galaxy S5 , powered by android and it never went to the main phone screen it was loading and like it couldn't load till the end.
So I was able to enter the recovery menu before booting and I believe I made some mess there including chosing the wipe system option and so on, anyway the phone finally restarted , went to normal screen but after some attemps it resulted in having Galaxy image on my screen when rebooting with some sort of extra image flowing in the background / some colour stuff etc. I just took it as it's reinstalling the soft from new , like a fabric version you know so I left the phone on table and it took like an hour and it wasn't finished , maybe I could have waited some long but I decided to reset the phone at this point and the screen went dark and never returned. I can observe some blue light in the top left corner of the phone, my friend took this phone from me yesterday and even tried to use some Odin software to install software however he made it all in let's call it Blind mode. Phone seems now to have some sort of voice in foreign language, I dont know what is it , but like a navigation in car.
Screen remained dark from that time and never came back.
Do you guys see any chances saving my phone ?
Appreciate any help and tips, ps: be aware I am not a phone pro and I know to much about reinstalling soft etc. but I have intentions to do it with instructions if necessary and if it could help
Thanks!
Hi let try to explain me better :
1.extra image flowing in the background / some colour stuff etc.
Do you mean when Samsung Logo appear like this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8nF9tbVEHQ
you have burning effect which means your LCD is damaged it looks for example something like this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkYXobLkjDA
When you say you hear Voice like in Car Navigation that means that Voice Assistent (Talkback) is On try to disable by fast pressing 3 times home button if not re-flash latest version of firmware just tell me what is 7 and 8 number from imei which you can find under the battery on sticker.
To send you correct firmware for your Phone Country Code .
Bad things if nothing of that can help you probably your screen is dead , or flat cable doesn't have good contact on mainboard .
Hi Teddy
Thanks for your time spent on trying to help me here ! It's really appreciated!
I would like to say that -> 1 . yes exactly I seen that image when everything worked properly and it seemed that my phone will have system reinstalled , this animation was loading for about 1 hour or so, and at this point I have cancelled it and my screen went dark forever!
2. No it's just dark totally dark nothing can be seen, everything was just perfect before ( phone is from Germany used about 3 years I guess as the battery has such date on it 2015.03... ) I live in Poland so it would be the best if the software was in polish language.
3. Yes I hear the TalkBack for sure and it's no problem to enable/disable it , anyways screen won't come back to become working properly
I believe I might have screwed this phone a little or maybe I am wrong and I didn't do anything bad at all why I am saying this : short story how it was
1. I received it few days back and I was there with my sister I took it from her and was enjoying it like a kid enjoys a new toy
2. I was having fun on it, it happened it was dead because battery went down to 0% but I charged and everything was perfect, after that I started downloading extra stuff -> android apps and I noticed after another charging it stuck on Samsung booting screen ( White letters on black background ) it didn't want to move forward to the system ( normal functioning ) - at this point I knew it won't probably load anymore and I won't be able to use it so we went to console let's call it ->
3. When we were in the console there were few options, to reboot, to remove something / swipe ( I am not perfect in english all right so I did it intuitionally ) , I believe I for sure chose to remove /swap system and then as you mentioned in YouTubue 4 sec video I could see the samsung loading screen with that beautiful logo and animation, so I thought the system is reinstalling and it will take a while, and here I waited about 40 mins - 1 hour and I gave up and restarted the phone here, after that the screen went totally dark and dead but... ->
5. But after rebooting I was still able to see just 1 option, not any other , this one option was to connect device via odin and install system , with android alien green funny picture on it , waiting for connection
6. Short after something happened and I couldn't see even that, screen was dark and remained dark for good
7. Yesterday phone was taken by my friend to his home and he claims he reinstalled system, it was possible to move intuitionally by fingers and voice navigation but screen never came back
8. Now it's impossible to see anything on the screen in fact, I can't even determine if I am accessing pre-boot menu where I could reinstall anything or not, really I can't know it so it's just dark , standard buttons on the bottom of the Galaxy S5 are bit highlighted by white light like an icon on the left and right of the bottom wide button
9. The diode on the top left of the phone happens to light regulary in blue / dark colour
10. That's really all - I don't know here whether I should go to some dude working on phones and if he tells me $50 to fix it in Poland it will be bit over 1/3 value of new phone so is this worth an effort I don't really know, nothing helps really I tried everything my colleague used to fix some iphones himself so he isn't totally newbie to this subject
