My S6 Edge has been cracked for a very long time but works fine until the other day I put the phone down and went to sleep only to wake up the next morning to see that each time the screen is on, it is blank and flashing. I can't see anything on the screen. The phone turns on, charges, switches off, can relieve calls etc. I just can't see what is happening due to blank flashing screen. Would anyone know how I can fix this or is there a way I can mirror the screen onto my computer so I can see whether it's an app that's causing this or something?
Better take it to a service center.

I've had my Titan for about 8 months. A few weeks ago it started acting up.
The screen back light will come on and the phone will boot up, but nothing will come up on the screen. Sometimes the screen will come on other times it won't. It usually would work until I slide the keyboard out, then the screen locks up and the display gets all funky.
I took it apart and everything looks ok. However the cable connecting the screen could be a problem. When its apart I can get the screen to work, but once I put it back together or the cable touches a certain part of the device the screen no longer works.
Has anyone had this issue? Anyway to fix it?
Thanks!
Hi everyone.
I dropped my phone today, and the screen broke.
The phone still seems to work properly, but the classic signs of a broken LCD are present: purple screen with many many lines and nothing legible.
I have ordered a replacement screen already, but I cannot get the phone to shut down and stay turned off.
Since the screen is broken internally, it does not respond to my touch.
I can hold down the power button for 15 seconds but that does a reset, and the phone automatically turns back on.
Is there anyway to keep the phone off other than by draining the battery completely?
I need to keep it powered down so that I can disassemble it safely.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't know of any way, but as long as you are careful while disassembling you should be fine. You should be able to pry the screen out enough that you can disconnect the battery before disconnecting the screen. I doubt disconnecting the screen with the phone on would damage anything anyway. I believe people do this iPhone screens all the time to test them.
Details of my panic situation below.
The phone is still awake and I can feel haptic feedback and hear sounds, but the screen is just blank. Did a number of battery pull but still nothing. Finally after awhile of battery pulling and letting it sit for a few seconds off, I powered on the device and I could see some sort of grey tint on the screen where I was met with a very vague but still visible boot animations. After about 3 seconds, it improves and I pushed slightly on the screen and noticed it helped, so I pushed on it further to help it out and it just turned back to normal everything turned out fine. What could be the problem with it?
what could be the problem? I never dropped it or anything so any suggestions as to why this happened and if it'll happen again?
My galaxy S3 is showing a very weird problem. I was using the phone and before reaching home the battery when completely flat. When I arrived home and plugged the phone to the wall charger the screen remains dark, black. Now the battery is full charged (green light) but the screen remains to the same estate. When someone calls me the phone rings. When I plug it to the computer I can see the files inside the different drives. I reinstalled the OS that is 4.3 but still same problem. I didn't drop the phone and It didn't have any shock.
That is weird. I am thinking of a dead screen but before going for a chirgucal operation on my beloved phone I wanted to ask if that couldn't be a software problem.
Happy to hear from your experiences.
Boot into download mode, volume down + home then power button. If the screen is dead in download then it is hardware.

never heard this type of problem
try to go into recovery and check if it displays anything
If successful do factory reset
In download mode i can see nothing. That is really weird. I am letting the battery drain completely and i will check. Thank you for your replies
I wanted to upgrade so far what i am getting. The screen while dark, black is reacting to touch actions: for exemple when i lock the phone with the power button i can hear the lock sound;when i unlock with the lide action on the screen, I can hear the unlocking sound. I think that must be a weird system problem. If the screen was broken will it react to such touch actions?
Lide=slide. I can actually take a call with the slide action on the screen. When someone calls me i just have to slide my finder at the proper place on the screen to take the call. I need help please.
Most probably its the hardware. Your LED seems to be ditching you. And yes a bad led can still response to touch despite of being black all the way. Actually it's the digitizer that responds to the touch NOT the LED itself.
In your cas3 so far from your feedback I can say that you are having a bad LED everything else including the digitizer is working well.

Thank you i w
ill try it check it tomorrow. I will try to install another firmware, may be 4.0.4. The one i was using i just installed it 2 days ago.
My Galaxy Alpha was completely stock and I only had a few 3rd party Play store apps installed. I had not done anything to the phone, no rooting (was unlocked from factory), no odin, no recovery mode, nothing.
I charged my phone overnight and used it when I got up. I left it on top of my bed and left the room.
I came back to get my phone and my wife said she found it under the blanket and that is was warm.
I looked at my phone and I saw the blue notification light was on. I hit the power button to turn the screen on but the screen did not respond. I reseated the battery but my phone is a brick.
Wifi was on and the phone was set to only update firmware on wifi but my phone was also setup to kill wifi if the screen was locked.
I will get a new phone but I would like to get my stuff off of my old phone.
Thanks!

Looks Like A Hardware Damage :/ Probably problem in display (Completely Turned Off) Due to short circuit or may be another reason but i am sure it is not a software side problem
