I have this weird issue that my phone's display goes yellow and flickers a lot when I open it using power button or hard press home button but if always on display is set to ON the display turns on normally without any issue howsoever I open it either by the home button or any other way
and even after the call as the proximity sensor turns the display black the problem starts again as soon as the call ends, so please someone could help me is it a software issue or hardware? I'm on latest stable android one.
I have the same issue, technicians have advice me to change the screen

Yes a temporary solution is to turn on AOD and then single tap the screen, after that press the power button to avoid the yellow flicker or complete black screen.

This morning I started having an issue with my edge.
Whenever I touch the screen, both capacitive buttons light up. Causing for irregular behaviour when using the phone. Is there a screen calibration mode or should I return it for a new phone.
Mine does the same thing. I'm pretty sure that's standard.
Agreed. Sounds like normal behavior to me.
I fail to see how this is an issue?
It's an issue in the sense that previously on galaxy models they only light up when you press them. It's a bit ridiculous and waste of battery to have them lighting up every time you interact with the phone.
And for reasons unknown, every s6 excluding the att version has had the setting to turn off the lights removed.

That is not true.
The S5 cap lights also light up when you touch the screen. That is how it should work. It would ridiculous for it to NOT light up every time you interact with the phone (assuming you wanted them on at all).
It would be nice to have the option to turn them off. That doesn't make it an issue--more of a feature request.

They really don't use any noticable battery.

If you enable power saving mode it turns them off FWIW.
Fix for this issue
Hi,
please check my reply in the S6 thread on the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60009456&postcount=12
Hi, I have the S6 Edge. The touch key lights are not working at all. In Settings I have the Touch Key Light duration set to "Always On". Power Saving Mode is off, but they still won't come on. The keys do blink briefly during startup, so I do know they physically work. Any ideas? Thanks
Some times my capacitive buttons stop working altogether. It happened to me twice so far. It lasts about a minute. No response no light, nothing. Anyone else?

Where are you finding the "Touch Key Light" settings? I don't seem to see them.

Yes, I am having the same issue. I thought it might be an app but I have removed all of them and it still happens. So annoying!! Even a reboot doesn't help.

This is not on the SM-G925W8 version either.
Sometimes these buttons stop working all together and sometimes they both switch to become the task switcher button. The Back Key will no longer function to move you back a page! Very annoying. I am thinking the only fix might be a complete factory reset??
BTW, when this happens, something is loading in the background. Just before my buttons stop working, a get a very small vibration similar to when your device boots up. From that point forward the buttons don't work. It can last 1/2 hour or up to 2-3 hours before it clears itself up??
Update: I did a factory reset and it didn't do any good. There are literally thousands of posts on the web about this issue and no resolution. If you have this issue, I think you need to send your unit back.
I have a SAMSUNG-SM-G925A running stock AT&T Android 5.02
I dunno, received my Edge today and my capacitive buttons only light up when I click them.
I took my phone back today and Rogers very quickly gave me a replacement phone. Capacitive buttons working well on this one!!
Everything was working as expected and the two buttons (Back and running apps) stopped working, i made a factory rest and it did not help, I am suspecting the cover that have magnets in it and I removed it, shut down the phone for few minutes but it did not help, I will try extending the time it is shut down and see the results.
For those with button light issues try this app "Galaxy Button Lights". I'm not allowed to post external links here but you can find it in Google Play.
Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Xperia Z2. After unlocking the display on the device is blank. You can see the brightness, the touch works, because when I swipe my fingers I can hear android sound but there is no picture. I must do "lock - unlock" pattern 3-4 times, sometimes even more to get the display work properly. I tried to fix it by using software repair but it didnt work, and also
factory reset. Its just so iritating, I cant even lock my phone anymore, I try to keep the display on as much as possible if someone trys to call me so I can answer it. Device is currently running on Existenz ROM but the issue started on the stock so I flashed custom rom but it didn't help. So this is probably a hardware problem and if it is, what could be broken ( is it display, GPU,whatever ) or it could be a software problem ? Any help would be appreciated.
Can you see your lockscreen?

No, no the "lock-unlock pattern" is reffered to simply pressing the unlock button on the phone. There is just blank display and light is on as I mentioned but no picture. After pressing button many times the picture finaly comes and then it's normal. It only happens when phone goes to sleep mode or after I lock it.
If your phone reboots can you see the SONY logo and the boot animation as well?

Nope, there is nothing. Just a sound and LED works, and blank screen. Then again, when the phone finally reboots, pressing lock-unlock button will do the trick. It seems like, when I dont touch the phone longer time, it's harder to get screen on. But when I constantly work with the phone there is no need for that amount of "lock - unlock button move".

It's probably hardware, now it's just a question of repair cost and is it worth it ?

I think this is due to a faulty LCD screen, but the digitalizer seems fine. So maybe you could consult some local repair shops and prove if my hypothesis is correct. But first of all you should try also flashing another kernel (eg elite kernel) first to see if it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
Sent from my Sony D6503 using XDA Labs
When I double tap the button to turn on theater mode, the screen doesn't appear to actually turn off. If I'm in a very dark room I can make out a faint red tint on the screen. This is different from when the device is completely off. Any ideas why (I assume because of the LCD screen) and/or how to turn the screen entirely off?
I have the same problem.
Did you find a solution?

Nope. I assume it's an unfixable hardware issue.

It's a camera under the screen. The reason the screen flashes is to take a picture of your fingerprint. It's not a hardware or software problem it's normal behavior.
How does your device take a pic of your fingerprint if it can't see it coz it's too dark

Hi all,
I keep running into the same issue on different roms.
When i wake up the device, double tap to wake or the power button, sometimes the screen comes on black with no further. I lock and unlock the device and it doesn't move onto the lock-screen. All i see is the notification bar on LOS17.1, the rest of the screen is black.
I have to hard reset it, and then the device comes back on normally until the issue re-occurs.
Anyone have any idea what kind of hardware issue this is?
Thanks

Disable Double tap to sleep on lockscreen and check if it happens.
Yes, this bug is in several or probably all Android 10 based ROMs.
Try turning of pocket detection and see if that solves this issue for you.
I am using Havoc OS 3.4, i have kept turn off pocket detection and it does happens to me once or twice in a day or two and that to if i use device heavily with multiple apps.
This bug could be solved but the problem is that bug/crash report is not getting created when black screen occurs and hence it became difficult to resolve.

This solved it.
