OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back
Regards,
Murali
1. My S3 i535 locks up something fierce and it's running stock 4.3. and whats odd is I can press the lockscreen button which shuts off the lcd and then press it again and swipe to unlock and its fine again till I click a few more things. Rinse and repeat this process and pretty much becomes a chore trying to do anything at all. not sure if this is a separate issue on it's own or somehow related to the below issue.
2. Odd behavior with my touch screen. I have 4 apps across and 4 down on my Home-screen... if I press and hold any of the 4 shortcuts on the left hand edge I can move them like normal... same for the 2 on the right edge that are towards the middle of the screen, but the remaining icons if I try to press and hold to move them... they just open the app instead. Have tried a different launcher other than stock and same problem. Same behavior on other screens as well. I'm thinking bad digitizer? If it's digitizer, can anyone tell me if the i535's digitizer is the same as that in the i9300?
Any help appreciated. :good:
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,
Is anyone else having this issue? Like touch screen doesnt respond very well at the top left corner (^<), im running on 5.0.2 lollipop. You can inspect this by slowly swiping the navigation bar at the top left corner or while playing a game (buttons wont function)...
Best regards,
James

its working fine here on 850f running lollipop. ive tried many times real slow n fast. But i cant say anything about screen not working during games cuz i have no games on my phone.
I am facing the same problem from 1month.
I have replaced Screen (previously Display was broken and i had replaced)
Previous one had same problem ( Top left ) , before i went to Service centre , i droped my phone and its display was broken , i have replaced display around 4months ago , and now from 1month i am facing the same problem again ,
When i Swipe notification panel from very Left side , at 40% times , it doesn't drop down , it goes upwards ,
I have faced in Six guns game , Moving button isnot working properly sometimes , than i have to lock the screen , and unllock the phone again , after that touch starts working normally , again It stops again i lock the screen and so on.........
So is this common problem with most of the Alpha's screen ?
Same issue here... bought 2 months ago with Lollipop 5.0.2 already installed. Very annoying with games!!
By the contrary, I also noticed extremely high sensitivity over the screen: I don't even need to touch the screen to press buttons, simply approach finger by half centimeter it is enough. I don't know if it's something expected, but I didn't noticed this with my former Galaxy S.

Its a very strange thing , touch fixed it self and its working fine again since 15 days , i think its software problem
it happened with me too , i'm running 4.4.4 stock , i wasn't able to tap on the wifi button on the top left , enabled the "show touches and show pointer location " on developer options and found that the top left corner is not working , strangely i restarted the device and its all working again so i think its a software problem , also i'm suspecting its related to using a screen protector , didnt try further tho

It seems it's not software related, issues are confirmed both with Kitkat and Lollipop.
It's strange because on my alpha i haven't notice any issue about the touch screen.
Please, can you do this simple test to analyse the overall screen sensitivity?
On 'Settings' go to 'General' tab.
Then roll down to 'Developer Options'.
Activate "Show touches" and "Show pointer location" - it will show the touch interactions on screen (it looks like scratches but don't worry they are just drawings).
Then slide your finger over the screen surface and notice if the track is marked in all areas. Especially in the upper left corner. If you notice a fault on the track in this spot it means the screen has a 'dead' sensitivity area.

I found there is a more simple way to run several test on our device (and also available in other Samsung models): type on the telephone keypad *#0*#
As I reported previously, my screen was touch insensitive on the upper left side. Everyone can check this running the 'Touch' test.
My screen module was replaced under warranty and it seems fine now.
Hello,
I have a tablet with Android 4.4.2 (kinda old) and recently I changed its touch screen because it was broken. It's the second time I change this tablet's touch screen and the first time it was working correctly, but now it acts weird. More specifically, it "clicks" at wrong location instead of the location I touch (I have enabled touchs tracking from the advanced menu). It does not click on it's own randomly, it just clicks wrong. My thoughs are that the touch screen was faulty but a second opinion would be appreciated. I'm also thinking of calibrating the touch screen with those apps running around in play store. I can upload a screenshot as well if needed.
Thanks in advance, Michalis.
