Screen Goes Crazy - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

I've had my Note for under a month now. I've been ever so careful with it. My heart skipped a beat when one day, all of a sudden, the screen just went mad!
I scoured the Web but couldn't find any other instance of this but the other day, in another thread, a few people have said that they've experienced the same problems. It's happened to my friends phone as well. I thought both of us were sold defective pieces to be honest but it looks like a global issue.
This is not just a case of screen flicker and screen changing colours on a white background. It goes haywire! Almost like the old television sets with their rainbow effect.
This has happened pre and post ICS; so it's definitely not a software issue. It has to be a hardware defect.
When I tried taking a screen shot of it, it just took a screen shot of the app I was using before the madness began.
It happened again last night. This time, fortunately or unfortunately, the screen stayed that way till I hit the power button. I had enough time to take a photo of it using a friends phone. Check it out :

It happens to me in some custom roms...
Its not a problem...
But it does give a heart attack

got this once when i upgraded from gb to ics, goes away when i turn off the screen and turn it back on again.

Same thing happened with me thrice. I think it start after ics upgrade

Its about some live wallpapers. Same thing happened with me with blue sea lwp after upgraded to ics.

I have this sometimes too, but I don't use live wallpapers so doubt if this has anything to do with it.

+1 I don't use live wallpapers either. Phone's not rooted either. It's probably an issue with the graphics chip. And it seems to be a global issue and not limited to any region as such.

It's happened on my phone before and after upgrading to ICS. So I doubt that's the issue.

It's also happened to me once,
not more than 24 hours after I bought it.

Happened with me also
Thanks you reported.. I was not able to report since the screen got fine in few seconds. Didn't experienced it since..look likes hardware issue to me as well.. I hope samsung pay some attention here..

I sure hope you're right because the same thing happened to my laptop once. The screen started flickering this way occasionally and it the frequency increased. In the end, I was told that the chip and the screen needed to be changed. Luckily it was still under warranty at that point.
Just hoping the same thing doesn't happen to this AFTER the warranty lapses!

never experienced this.. i used ICS for 2 days, no sign of this issue back then.. and now im back to GB...
is this what they call pixel salad?

flicker or pixel salad, whataever you name, mostly happens when you end the call or call disconnection...the same happened to me and gone through the logcat and reproduced the same once again..

So is this then a hardware issue? Something to do with the graphics chip? Can't be a software bug right?

Dude. I was searching for this.. this happens for me.. OFTEN !! more than 15 times already i think. I think it started like this since having ICS. I had my first week on GB and have no such issue.. probably screen reset or what ?

Here too!
With my note it happened a few times.
I am currently running Rocket V7:crying:

funny i have never experienced this before... i've had my note for almost 3 months now
have upgraded to official ICS then root then went back to GB root..
just wondering for those of you who experienced this sort of pixelation, where did you get your note from?? mine was from the the telco when i renewed my contract and seems to me that it is more likely a defective unit..

Honestly, I thought my friend and I were sold defective pieces here but as I mentioned earlier, from the kind of response this thread is getting, it's definitely a global issue.
My unit was manufactured in Vietnam. Bought it at a store here in India. It's probably a case of a batch of defective units. Samsung needs to take stock of this. With their over zealous selling spree, it wouldn't surprise me if someone at the quality testing team was made to look the other way. Conspiracy theory maybe but who knows eh?

Received replacement for G2 and what a difference!

Just received my replacement for my G2 yesterday. This is the fourth one I have tried. I am amazed at the difference in this one. The hinges are nice and snug and the signal does not fluctuate wildly. No random reboots (yet) No freezes or turning itself off. The keyboard does not start launching apps randomly. The battery has been super. All the things the first three had issues with. Has HTC fixed the issues in these later batches? So far this unit seems to be on a different level. Anyone else had this excperience? IMO this is now a SUPER phone not just a good phone.
thats what people need to understand. g2's arent a bad phone. htc just made a ****-ton of bad batches of these phones. its almost like diamond in the dirt for people to find a g2 that actually meets up to customer expectation. and sadly they really arent doing much to help out instead they are hoping this can be swept under a rug
I know exactly what you're saying. This is my third G2 and, actually, the only one that works right all the time. The first two reboot a lot (this one hasn't up to now), the second got stuck on bootloader. Also, I had the hinge problem on the second.
This one is perfect, nothing wrong with it up to now.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk
I'm still on my first G2 but I think I'm gonna get a replacement cause my hindges are getting pretty loose now. Its like the hindges lost their snap when I open and close it. And when the phone is closed, well it doesn't actually feel like a solid close, it fells like it will just slide open. Hopefully I don't have this problem on the next one. I really like the G2.
Sent from my DETHFONE (G2)
Still have my FIRST G2, I bought it in store on OCT 2nd. I have NO hinge issue. It did reboot on me twice, but that was because of a faulty app. The battery is finally settling in well, I unplug @ 7:45 AM every morning and usually have ~30 - 40% left at moderate use - web surfing, music and texting. This is one of the best phones ive ever owned,
I grabbed mine oct 9th, I wasn't experiencing anything most users were... as soon as i opend it up I checked to see if mine had 4gb, it did and I have had no other issues. Hinge reboots, anything. Seems like they rush, rush, rushed the first batches.

Its not a 2.2 issue.... the Droid 2 has 8 GB onboard it shows up fine.
Its a NAND issue, its locked and in only about ~1.3 user accessible. Once permanent root is avialable we shoul dbe able to us ALL of 4 GB.... though when I say 4 GB its actually ~3.7 GB

how did you guys replace is cuhz i have the hinge problem and the 4gb memory. just recently bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Please stop these threads, they confuse newcomers or people who just got the phone and just initiate a placebo effect for things that are a non-issue.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Could you post the serial # of these 'improved' phones? So we know what to avoid.
When you guys get replacements, do they send you refurbished ones? Or a brand new phone?
I don't trust them, if they say its a new phone but send it without the battery cover and battery, just the phone itself and ask you to send the old one in. Cause I still don't know if someone else used and sent it back to T-Mobile and changed the housing and sending them out as new. Feel me?
I'm still waiting on my 3rd G2 and so seeing how my order is "back-ordered" - i hope i get a G2 from a new batch!
3rd times the charm......... i hope

Some issue found on SG Note 2 so far...

Hi,
Being using N2 for about 3 weeks. Below are some issue that i encountered..
1) During sleep to awake or lock screen to unlock screen, there is a white thin line of light flashes at bottom screen just above the home button.
Very fast, maybe just a sec.This happens sometimes and intermittent.And had tried many units of N2 and having same issue.
2) Sometimes when after wifi used or signal loss. When you return to normal signal using data network, the data network will not be
on automatically until you switch to airplane mode and switch back to normal mode, then the data network signal reappear.
So far it happen on both me and my wife N2.
3) Some area on the Samsung Qwerty keyboard is not so sensitive or not so accurate.
Among all the above, i hope all is nothing related to the hardware. Hope all of the above Samsung will help to address and resolve by software updates.
Anyone seeing the above symptom please reply to this thread
Thanks
1) nope it's never happened to me. Maybe you've got a faulty set. U tested many units and most of them got that? Hmm.
2) mobile data comes right back after I disable wifi. Was it like this when u first used the device?
3) are u using any sp? Matte type which is thicker in nature could be the cause as samsung recommends not to use sp

Hi,
For 1 and 2, most units happens. And also Samsung service inform me its software and will be resolved in next update.
Like I said, its intermittant.someone may have not notice it.

Hi,
That's good with no problems. As I mentioned it happens to mine and my frens phone. Maybe the stock rom and kernel is different from my place and your place.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Non of the above mentioned or non mentioned problems occured...
I'm on stock kernel and rom. Only No.2 happens to me.
Never experienced any of that.
At any given time Samsung can have a dozen "latest" ROMs and radio out for a single device based on region. OPs s/w could be different than what's on other people's phones. So it is possible the stock ROM/radio s/he's using could have issues where other people's wouldn't. It's happened on the Note 10.1 a couple of times already.
I agree with that.

How many times did you exhange?

The thread title says it all. How many times did you return your nexus 10 before you received one that was free of defects? I have one that freezes once or twice a day and am considering the exchange process. Luckily I purchased through samsclub and should be able to just go to the store.
None!
Yes mine has light bleed, but on auto brightness in 3 months I have literally NEVER seen it in real life usage unless actually turn the brightness up to 100% and look for it. In actual fact its got better from when I bought it in Feb. As for the lock ups you mentioned, since the last software update and using Chrome Beta I have seen no locks or reboots in at least a month!
I expect your problem is linked to an app not the device itself.

I've tried removing most apps without success including chrome and location services. I guess running with no apps is the next step...
I havent done much research on which apps area causing freezes but I did not find anything on what I have installed. Some notible non-google apps that I am running are:
AiCloud, Amazon store, BankOfAmerica,Calengoo, Discover, File Manager HD, GooManager, GroupMe, Hulu Plus, iHeartRadio, IP Cam Viewer, Md5Checker, MightyText, Mobile Queue, My Netflix Q, OfficeSuite, Speed Test, Swiftkey, UberSync, WD Remote, WeatherBug, Wifi Analyzer, Wordfued, XDA
Once. My original had a sleep of death problem - new one doesn't
Zero
Minor bleed in the left but only seen at 100% brightness
Performance.. Rock solid. I've done 2+ Months without a reboot.

None. I got I in November. It's been perfect since.
None.
Had it since January with absolutely no problems other than the ones I have caused undervolting and tweaking.
None, I also got mine from sams club and its been working great. I was a little worried when I bought it because the seal was broken but I took it back And they said it was to check everything was there. They gave me a different one with a closed seal and were very good about it. I don't think it should be too hard to exchange it and MIME Gantt had any problems so I think you should switch it.

HTC bolt half screen black

Wanting to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of half of the screen going black and then back to normal wanting to know if it's due to the last update ( didn't start happening until I took the new ota few days ago) anyway to go backwards without complete format not rooted yet or else wouldn't care but unsure of worth rooting or nor due to not enough information nor roms or kernels yet so anyway anyone let me know of there experienced the same issue after the last update thanks

It's not the split screen feature it's str8 black on right side and it seems to only happen after the update google on it and you will c
The same issue
I have just the same problem . To be honest, I was "5 minutes away" to go the store as my HTC 10 Evo/Bolt is 5 days old only. But if that not "my unique case" then the update may be the reason.
Did you post any info directly to the HTC?
Please stay in touch as I'll do.
Black Screen
I started experiencing the same issue in December, in addition eventually the issue progresses to screen artifacting and flickering. I am on my second phone and about to send that one in for a replacement due to re-occurrence of the issue.
HTC has about a four week turn around time, so beware. If you have really bad issues ask to speak to the escalations supervisor.
Many people are experiencing this issue. Some have gone through 3-4 replacements already with each new one having the same issue. My BOLT only experiences this when I pull it out of my pocket and unlock. Can be fixed temporarily by giving the right hand side of screen a firm tap. Anybody have any ideas on a fix?
I'm on my 3rd phone due to that issue. You just have to exchange it. No way to fix it.
Mine just started jumping around only on the right side has not blacked out yet

Im curious if you have taken all the OTA updates? My Bolt was fine for about 3 months before i had severy lag issues but not the screen problem. I took it back yesterday and got a new one. My new one is on an old software version 1.15.651.11 and there have been 3 updates since this version. I have not updated yet.

Yes, def it was after the Android OTA updates. Curious if anyone experience the problem with updating.

I too like the phone except for the kinks. I have taken OTA for .15 anc .22 without any issues. Then after about another day it is telling me to update to the new 1.32.651.6. everything is good but i guess i will take the update and hope for the best.
Recently I've been having trouble with the screen staying black with key pad lit on wake on gesture or power button. That may have been caused by my case... But more concerning is the screen flickering. It seems to come about more as the day goes on. When it starts to happen I tried rebooting, and it does it during boot too. I wonder about the longevity of this phone

March update causes random reboots

Just got the update 30 minutes or so ago, but it keeps causing my phone to restart at random. I figure I'll factory reset it, but has anyone been having the same issue?

This is ridiculous honestly. Update shouldn't have been released.

Probably should have cleared your cache via recovery after the update.

Done. Also reset settings, network settings, access. settings. No luck yet. Still random reboots every couple minutes. S10+ is the worst Samsung phone ever at launch. S9 wasn't perfect at launch, with some battery issues; but S10 is both unstable and has battery issues.
H/W is great, but no doubt this phone wasn't ready for launch.
early adopters get ****ed the hardest, that's not news.
hell knowing my luck motorola will make the razr v4 foldable a flagship model too, now that for once i finally came over to the darkside to find out just how bad samsung is, just to spite me, i was so dead set on it when i found out clamshells were finally coming back, i had the original a1200 and loved the hell out of it back in the day, had it rooted, custom firmware, was impossible to dial 911 or view ads on it, that's the way android should be still, but i digress, i only ever buy flagship phones, i wanna be able to coast for the next 5 years on my overpayment for electronic devices, plus stop making phones thinner, they're uncomfortable to hold at this point already in landscape.
of course if that does happen i'm totally coming up with the money and who knows, either i'll have two lines or i'll sell one and not tell the carrier, god the concept renders were sexy too, plus i won't lie, i love the snap sound when you hang up on someone when using a clamshell, so long as the razr v4 is flagship specs and can be opened one handed we're golden.

Well that's strange, never had any issues with reboots or battery issues after the update on mine. Tried to flash back your stock firmware and start fresh again? That should really fix it.
I've taken the phone off the charger and it seems to have stopped randomly rebooting for now. Strange. I'll still facreset it when I'm more free.
My phone (exynos) running well and normal
I downloaded my update off of samsung firmware haven't had a problems just wondering if I should just factory reset to be safe.

That screen is totally different to mine so it must be carrier based

Weird. Haven't had any. The only restarts I have had were the scheduled ones I programmed using settings.

I've had Note 5, S7, S8 and Note 9 at launch. All were way more stable than the S10+.
I flashed it via Odin, before it was released on OTA and have not experienced anything like that. I did have a reboot but programmed every 3 days for optimisation.
The only thing I noticed was the IG mode on the camera is gone now? Mines been running great so far otherwise.
