Hi guys, I have a weird problem and I need your advice.
My brand new galaxy Note 3 Sm-N900T is having screen blackouts....
Its like after the screen timeout the screen goes off and then when I press the power button it doesn't go back on again.
Or if I turn the screen off it doesn't go back on again... the buttons are working the sounds are on, I can answer calls and everything but the screen is black.
If I play with it (pressing power or home buttons) for a while it comes back on. Sometimes the phone restarts (rarely, I think because i press power button).
I have tried everything from playing with settings to wiping the cache and resetting the phone few times.
It looks like its a software issue to me, or maybe sensor.. but i think that when power button is pressed the screen should turn on regardless of sensors.
I do have the custom S-Case but I had the issue even before I got that.
Now.. I have few choices :
1. Go to t-Mobile and get a replacement.. probably refurbished, not a fact that the problem will away because I heard of lots of people having this issue ...
I of course do not want to do that.. I have this phone for less than a month.
2. Wait for KitKat....
3. install some kind of custom rom and see if problem goes away.
If anyone can help, Id really appreciate it.
I would do an exchange.. you paid good money for it and a defect is a defect, I wouldn't depend on a 3rd party patch for this

go to the store for change this defective note.
This may be jelly bean bug... Lots and lots of people report the same problem...
If I replace my piece I will probably get a refurbished one with a great chance of having this or some kind of another problem......

sucks man.
I know on my htc onei have the purple camera problem but everything else was fine. they had to send me 2 replacements because the first one had a yellow screen and worse camera then mines.
Tmobile doesnt even check there replacement. Most of the time there phones that people traded in. And all they do with those is a power on check.
Now if you just got the phone and within the 14 exchange you can take it to the store and get a brand new one.
Had it for more than 2 weeks now.. since i was always playing with it i did not notice the problem .. (the screen was always on).
I called Samsung and Tmobile. I told tmobile that samsung said i have a defective phone. so Tmobile is sending me a "Like new" phone meaning that someone returned it within 14 days. I get to check it and if i dont like it i will just send them their phone back. and suddenly mine doesnt do the problem for 30 minutes lol.. maybe it got scared. Personally i think that KitKat would fix it.
Any force closes? I had this problem too untill I stopped using the crapy My Magazine bloatware, which was also sometimes force closing...
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
No, no force closes, but one time it was funny, a little bit of status bar appeared from the bottom and on top it was a little bit cutoff.... like someone slid the screen up few pixels.
And whatever was cut just came from the bottom. Its weird... for $700 phone it should be flawless... I hope they dont send me crap phone and i hope they dont send my phone to someone else.
How can i get rid of it to see if that was the problem?
My phone works perfect and I had if since the first week they came out. .. It's not a jellybean thing you phone has a problem. ..

I figured id try to reflash (not data reset, but reflash via Kies) so far so good no problem.
The whole thing looks like soft prob, not hard.
If it comes back Ill let you know. This could be a nice fix if works.
I'm in nyc, and my local store called the warrenty center and got me a brand new SGS2 one time. It still had all the blue plastic in the sim card and sd card slots, and plastic on the screen. So I'm know they can request it, just depends on your store if they are willing.

My sgs2 had problems out of the box. After I installed custom ROM they went away. It does happen. Restored stock via Odin, still no problems. Sometimes the software doesn't flash correctly from the manufacturer.

Well, I dont know what to think anymore... Looks like the problem persists but happens so rare that without the past I wouldnt notice it.
This makes me believe that with KitKat it will probably disappear. If soft changes cause this to go away or be less it means (to me) that the phone is not defective. New phone is still on the way, to bad I did not purchase it at local store... I did it online, so there is no one to yell at.
It will arrive on Feb 6th so I have plenty of time to test my phone, with some luck KitKat will roll out during this time and then I will be able to definitely see. And if new phone is cool I have the option of exchange anyway .
Thank you all for your help, keep posting, its an interesting issue.
:/
Phone went worse and worse everyday ... now the S-Pen "Air Command" doesnt pop up, several weird disfunctions...
Waiting for the replacement.
Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!
I guess its time for a replacement.
Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...
it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first
I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

I also had this problem and I sent it to service center (Still in warranty period). They replaced my phone touch screen and the problem is solved.

Thanks.
It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem
So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...
I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

That's exactly the SAME situation the occurred today, almost threw at a wall...when data is on heavy usage, it gets worse...I'll try this, but I seriously thinking about to get a new Moto G...'cause this digitizer gonna take a long time to arrive at my country
Thanks for ur information, dude!
So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.

Hey,
I just purchased a HTC Desire 820 dual sim about 3 days back, and on clicking pictures with flash on from the primary 13MP camera, an evident greenish tint is noticed.
Is anyone else having the same problem, or should I opt for replacement? Is it a hardware or software problem?
Attaching samples.
Please help ASAP. Thanks!
same problem here with me
I have exactly the same problem, however i requested the new replacement model from the retail online site. It's a software glitch, because playing with the setting like using florescent option it solves, so it is complete software issue, but in a replacement warranty scenario i am asking for the replacement, lets c what happens next..

I have opted for a replacement myself, but I doubt that will solve the problem. It is not a small issue, I don't know if I should persist with the device. Will HTC rectify it? Was it there before the software update too?
Urgent!
Guys please test on your own devices and post the results.
Do surely tell us

Received the replacement unit, issue still exists. It is a problem with the device itself I feel.
Same greenish tint issue
Guys,
This might sound funny to you that i first purchased this device on 25th Jan 2015 and there were no greenish tint issues in that phone but it was automatically rebooting itself when i tried to click pics with the FLASH ON. This didn't happen when I purchased the device, happened at a later stage (after a day). So I went up to HTC and asked for the repair of the device (I knew i'll get the DOA bcoz it was a faulty piece) and I got the DOA after they tested it.
Got the replacement and I'm seeing this issue on my phone. Searched around the forum to find out that I'm not the only one facing this issue.
I first thought that it would be a hardware issue but its not guys, its a software issue. Change the settings to "Flourescent" and the greenish tint disappears, though you'll see a light blue effect on it.
Lets just hope HTC releases an update for this.

Not software, hardware. It was there on my unit even before the software update. It's there only on a specific batch I guess. I returned it. Can't tolerate the faulty piece.

Okay, As I suspected that it would be a SOFTWARE ISSUE and NOT a hardware issue was TRUE.
Today I went to the HTC Repair Center and opted for the issue to get fixed. One of its representatives pointed it to be software issue.
They took my phone and FIXED it and now the camera works perfectly fine with FLASH ON.
Hope this helps other guys out there.

It is a screen burn ,i have tried to solve problem with Screen Burn-in Tool app from Play Store
but no success,this problem have also few my friends with lg g4,i newer buy any lg phone again, lg is better to produce tv sets and wasmachines because as phone manufactures sucks.
Same issue here too, it isn't necessarily burn in, more image retention I guess which tends to happen to some LCD's, tried all sorts of things to fix it, if anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome
Guess we'll have to either get the device replaced or replace the LCD

If it's retention the LCD won't have to be replaced. Just wait a little, and it's gone.
And it inst always there, it knows to disaper.
And one more thing, it constantly changin, for example now i see 12:30, and for 2 minutes i will see 12:32, not one picture burned in.

Its pretty bad retention if thats the case, not permanent...only really see it on grayish backgrounds....Ive left the phone off for days...switched it back on and within a matter of minutes my status bar is burned in lol
Same problem here pink burn that appears only on gray with a few minutes of use.
I was wondering if its just my device or not.
And now that i know that is the case i guess switching the phone display will not solve it.
I am getting this issue as well. Pinkish tint (when there is a light grey background) and image retention on the top of the screen and I can see those little icons. Did you get the problem after motherboard replacement due to bootloop issue? I am regretting my decision in purchasing LG G4.. :crying:

It is the display, friend of mine replaced his and he no longer had this issue.
I think he ordered a $70 USD replacement off Amazon and did it himself since LG requested for him to send the phone to Taiwan.

And no regreting is needed alot of people that i know with s6 are not so happy about it..and the only other option was m9...so.....if you like me and had no choice the g4 was the smartest choice lol and i am quite happy with it...

Well i was talking about that, if you would give your phone to lg they will replace with the same display..so i dont see the point...
And the replacement displays you cant tell how are they as in brightness battery drain and color accuracy...
I guess if it will get worse than i will probably replace it..for now its fine enough lol

Meh...it's really not a huge problem lol, it grew on me after some time and it doesn't bother me anymore
Hasn't gotten worse over the past 6-ish months or so, so I guess it'll stay this way
I'm from Jamaica so sending it to Taiwan is going to be a bit of a problem
But as for the replacement part, I definitely get what you're saying, I asked my friend about his for the purpose of this thread and he told me that the battery life is the same, brightness/quality is similar to the original display, worse case scenario if you need to change the screen I'd say go for it.

I have found a some kind temporary workaround ( i don't know is that correct language expression in english so sorry for that )
Mainly here is what I did : I have flash latest SUPERXE kernel for stock rom android 6.0 from here , after flash from Play Store I have installed app Kernel Adiutor ,from the drop-down menu selected Screen section and aply this settings :
RED=230
GREEN=235
BLUE=235
Minimum RGB Value=35
Saturation Intensity= 30
Screen Hue=0
Screen Value= 125
Screen Contrast=127
After this no more red colored retention on gray background,not even in TWRP recovery.
This solution is only for rooted devices with unlocked bootloader,I hope this will help You
After kernel installation i have run few times antutu benchmark,so maybe this is also have influence on screen refresh.

This worked for me, too Thanks for sharing.
Anyway I will try warranty soon.
Dear guys, 12/2015 I have same issue that burning, my local warranty service ok change a new LCD, it is very OK after replacement, no burn any more. But after 6 months the same issue come back, it is hardware issue. LG always have issue about hardware in flagship more than other competitor.
Not a G4 owner but I have used a G4 before as well as a V10 and a G5, currently own the V10. This issue is present on all three devices and isn't a question of if it will happen, it's a matter of when it will happen. I noticed this issue with my display a few months ago and the entire affected area has a weird yellowish hue to it which is most noticeable on a lighter grey hue and as of now have grown used to it to a degree: still annoys me a bit. Also had a friend whom I recommended the G4 to and he had this issue with retention since he got it though he barely notices it since his phone is almost always set at 0% brightness
Anyways, at this point the main cause for this as I've said in a couple of threads is the display technology itself. I'm guessing this is one of the side effects Quantum Display has for offering near-amoled quality with vivid colors and blacks in comparison to regular LCD panels. Basically, even replacing the display is a temporary issue and still a lottery as you may get one with no issues until a year later or one that already has retention out of the box.
At this point, I might even tolerate amoled displays or non-Quantum Display lcd panels but it's too bad LG makes great phones. Oh well, just another thing to keep in mind when getting a phone from LG

I started getting this burn in and i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before. My G4 was in bootloop so i sent it back and i think that they replaced motherboard. After about 2 months of usage i started noticing this and as i said i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before motherboard was replaced, only if i didn't realise that but i am sure there was not this problem. :/ :/ :/ Is it actually possible that it is coz of motherboard replacement and that it can't be fixed even if i replace screen?!?!

I started getting this burn in and i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before. My G4 was in bootloop so i sent it back and i think that they replaced motherboard. After about 2 months of usage i started noticing this and as i said i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before motherboard was replaced, only if i didn't realise that but i am sure there was not this problem. :/ :/ :/ Is it actually possible that it is coz of motherboard replacement and that it can't be fixed even if i replace screen?!?!

It's not a motherboard issue but a display issue. With the G4, V10, and G5, there will be displays that will have retention out of the box or in a matter of a few months and then those who don't get it until 2 years into use or in fact, never at all. Only solution is replacing the display but that's a bit of a lottery in it of itself as you don't know if it won't have its own issues and I'd imagine constantly buying new LCD digitizers to grow costly that you might as well just buy a new phone altogether.
Bluelight Filter
Try " Bluelight Filter " app from Google store , I had the same problem until I used the app .
Anyone having issues with their autofocus? Mine seems completely busted - not sure if it is just a hardware defect or something that has popped up through repeated flashing. Camera was great out of the box, but over the past month, I've had several issues with AF getting a clear lock on something and recently regardless of being on stock OOS (3.1.2, 3.2.4, 3.5.2, etc.) or one of the many roms hosted here my screen jumps back and forth, zooms in and out and fails to get a proper lock. Frustrating as can be - debating switching away from OP3 given the camera has become useless - any recommendations or anyone sharing this issue?
I haven't experienced any focus issues yet, but if the problem is identical regardless of the software driving it, I'd say there is something hardware-related at fault. Are you only using stock camera apps, or have you tried 3rd party camera apps and get the same thing?

Same across the board. Tried going back to 3.1.x versions, up to 3.5.2 CB, over to the CM and AOSP-roms in the hopes something would stick but it's terrible all around. Went as far as doing complete wipe and factory reset to potentially clear out any profiles stored on internal memory but still having issues. Took me 4 minutes today to take picture of grocery list for my wife - would not focus on text regardless of how close/far I moved the paper. Have session with 'remote tech support' for OP3 on Wednesday as if that's going to do anything...

This pretty much sums it up right here - video not made by me, but after checking company forums and doing quick search for oneplus 3 camera focus this popped up - https://vimeo.com/182588240 - exact problem I'm having.

Once they identified it as autofocus they didn't try to say it was software, they replaced no problem?
He told that in the beginning.I told him I wiped dalvik cache and stuff.He didn't believe it was a hardware issue,He then formatted the phone....The result was same! He ordered the camera on Thursday...I got the phone on next Saturday The camera has to come all the way from China!
Actually many people are facing this issue..
So.... just go the OS 4.5 and autofocus issue still not fixed..... How come they don't even answer when the issue is reported by so many people...
It occurred suddenly from one day to the next...
I had same issue. Auto focus progressively got worse. Issue was camera OIS.
Replaced the camera myself and back to normal. Cost about £15 for camera and tools and takes about 30 minutes to replace.
i'm not happy with my device anymore thanks to this issue, oneplus don't want to respond because they know that this is a hardware bug, i am not going to buy any other chinese trash in my life again, i miss my iphone ....

So...
After trying many things (3rd part apps, hoped for a fix with 4.5.0 or 4.5.1 OS updates but nothing, a hard reset, then a factory reset) I hoped that OP Service center would repair the phone that became unusable due to blurriness.... It was sent to Arvato service team in Czech Republic (I am in Sweden).
And then after a few days I learned about this "no partial repair" policy... They will fix the autofocus (no problem, under warranty) without saying what the issue is because.... my OP3 has a small crack on a corner of the screen and it enough for the Arvato service team to say that the screen needs to be replaced (not under warranty) because they don't do partial repair...
Even if the crack has nothing to do with the issue and repairing the screen is totally irrelevant in the matter, I am forced to pay these 110 EUR to get my phone back with a functional autofocus... (Option 2 is to pay 50 EUR to get it back not repaired and Option 3: Scrap the phone for free :cyclops: )
After doing some quick search I found out that this way of doing is common in the branch.... If they all do it, I guess it's not illegal.... quite unbelievable how the customers are handled... You learn everyday, isn't it?
