Phone worked perfect, I got it Monday. Friday at my desk at the office, I took 3 pics. A minute later the screen wouldn't turn on. It flickered green first then original color in less than one second. It's like the board went bad on the screen already. Touch input worked.
I have a new one now.

That also happened to mine, but it was caused by the spen being broken inside the phone.

Interesting, what part of the pen. I didn't check the pen since I couldn't use the phone
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
It actually split the pen in the center, but may or may not have damaged the circuit board. My screen went haywire. Flashing green whenever I woke it up.

Hmm yeah could've been the same. So even with pen not in the phone, it didn't work

Correct, I pulled the pen out after it was freaking out, and half of it stayed inside the slot. Once I removed the final piece inside the phone, it still freaked out. I removed service and went back to my note 2, then an hour later, my note 5 was fine, using it now(minus the spen, cant really wait on Samsung warranty claim at the moment,) although I'm pretty sure they would somehow tell me the spen breaking inside the phone was my fault.

I just wonder if this phone has the same problem as the Samsung vibrant cheap pin for GPS you had to take apart the bend it up and wedge a piece of copper between it so it would make a good connection.

I have 2 G3s & the GPS works perfectly in both of them(maybe I'm just lucky)
I don't even use my Garmin units anymore.

Yeah, mine is great. You want to see problematic GPS, just pick up a TF201, 300 or 700...

That's how I got the GPS on my S3 to work, only I didn't wedge a piece of copper I just bent it up a little. I'd rather keep my phone than get a used VZ replacement...
Ya the copper is optional after a period of time without a wedge though it will prob start doing the same thing again.

I miss my att iPhone 4. GPS would lock instantly and super accurate. This takes about 20 seconds sometimes and it still throws you off by a small distance. Not trolling just saying Samsung should put more effort into their flagship phone

I've noticed that my GPS's performance is dependent on the ROM I'm running. On CM10 it locks on instantly but on a stock ROM it takes for ever to lock on and really only locks on quickly when I'm already driving. My wife's S3 which has never been messed with instantly locks on with no issues.

Interesting... my GS3 would lock almost instantly on the stock TW ROM, but on CM10 it takes 30 sec or more to get even a weak lock with a clear view of the sky, and frequently loses lock when it's in the console of my car.

I was playing candy crush earlier and my screen just started turning white and really hot so I took battery out right away. After I turned it on the screen is all flickery now. I thought it might be the ROM since I'm running g paranoid android but when I went into recovery mode even twrp looked blurry. Any suggestions? Kinda hard to tell but I took a couple pics of the screen.

Time for a new phone.
Sent from my S2SR
Whenever I hold my phone upright and tap toward the top of the screen (even very lightly), the phone makes a weird clicking sound coming from inside. It sounds to me like the small vibrating spinning part that makes the phone vibrate. I don't know if it's just my model of the device of if this is normal but it's very annoying and noticeable. Also, if I shake the phone even a little I can hear the clicky sound. Not sure if I should take it back and replace it but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem first?
I have this. Just notice it now. Can hear it from shaking the top of the phone back and forth
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Honestly guys, this sound has always been in HTC and Samsung devices that I've had, and to be honest I didn't hear it in my S4,ehich was Prolly the first device in a while where I wouldn't hear a rattle. Someone mentioned a long time ago that's its the part for the vibration/haptic but I don't see how that could be. But yes, I hear it too, and have no clue what the hell it is lol

Haha, holy cap, it really is the AutoFocus Sensor. Opening the camera, then tapping the phone, no rattle.

How much could you possibly be shaking your phone for this to be a problem?

Like I said, any time I even lightly tap the top area of the phone it makes that sound. I wouldn't mind personally if it's just when I shake the phone.
Lmao! Now I can't stop shaking my phone. Just noticed the noise because of this thread.

i did a factory reset and still the problem persist.. isn't it considered as a defect ??
It's clearly a software issue. Reflash might help.

thanks for all the help! :good:
Very strange, a hardware issue which temporarily disappears when you reboot. Oh well, luckily it's fixed now.

Try a factory reset, there is no screen burn in on LCDs
i can confirm that this is true while it looks like burn in once you turn the screen off for a while it will disappear its, more of a ghost image. use amoled Burn in fixer form the play store or an all grey image and you'll be able to see it where the status bar is located.
This was really bad on some v10s but I haven't experienced it yet on my v20. It's not permanent like led burn in. It's a ghost image.
On my v10 it showed up when I used an app like my Word text game which kept the same image on the screen for a while. It was also worse/showed up faster the brighter I had the screen.
Glad I haven't seen it on the v20!
You also can't screen capture screen burn as that is hardware, this looks like a software bug. Tho not completely understanding your first post.

i recently got this as well.. Sad that it has happened so quickly for me... Rebooting and shutting down didnt help at all. Nor do I thing factory reseting would either. It showed up before I was going to sleep so I locked it and went to bed. It went away the next morning. It freaked me out and made me think I was going to need to get a replacement but all is good.
Yeah I realized afer I finally woke up that you can't screen cap that lol.
It did it again last night at work. It was Facebook yet again. I played a few YouTube vids and made it go away.
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
I haven't had the luck to experience that. But with IPS panels it is bound to disappear at some point. Now, you are only missing to find the way to generate the ghost image once again. IF it only happens with specific apps, or if it happens with everything in general.
So far it only been with Facebook in landscape mode
