[Q] Note 3 N9005 - LTE - No Display - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

few days ago during phone calls the screen started to black out - after 1 hoursof first blackout, screen started to show weird behavior, screen was being touched on random areas - i turned on show touches from dev mode and it showed random multi touches on top right corner of scree. after few minutes the screen turned black and since then i havent seen any sort of display on my note 3. i tried.
1. removed battery - let it rest for 15 minutes - connected back - phone turned on fine i could hear all sounds and notifications even receive calls if i swiped at correct screen area, However no display
2. tried to access the phone in adb but it wont show in devices even though usb debugging is enabled and all samsung drivers are correctly configured.
3. made backup of all the files on phone using kies.
4. Rooted the phone and tried to access recovery mode but vol up + home + power just turns on the phone.
5. currently the phone connects to pc as a media device with usb debugging enabled.
i think if i am able to flash firmware again it might resolve the issue, but so far i haven't been able to find latest stock builds that i can flash using odin since i cannot do anything in recovery mode (no display)
Can someone guide me on how i can get the display back ? is there any way to access the screen using a standalone pc app without the need to install any app on the phone ? can it be hardware related issue ? the phone never dropped, im a very careful user. screen is scratchless and phone is in perfect condition physically. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
PS. Its my first time posting a thread on a forum, i hope i didnt break any rules. I searched alot on forums for someone having similar situation.

2. To access via adb you have to grant the permission, once you connect phone in adb with developer mode (usb debugging) enabled, a pop-up will come asking for granting permission., once you grant then only you can acces it in adb mode.
*Sorry buddy, i don'y know about any app that can "access the screen using a standalone pc". (Google for it, You may found)
I guess it must be hardware issues,
But you can try out this:
Download the latest firmware from SamMobile or from SamsungUpdates website, and flash using ODIN.
Before downloading firmware make sure you download the correct firmware for your region (CSC)
If didn't worked, it must be a hardware issue.
Sorry.

Phone was in usb debugging mode before screen disappeared, now i cannot see the device in adb mode maybe because i need to change the connection mode to mtp, i cant do that , theres no display :S

Noob yes...So take pity and help :(

Hey guys...so maybe I'm not doing it right.I've purchased the 32 GB device and everytime I connect it to PC no matter if USB debbuging is selecyed ot anything else I cannot for the life of me create new files or transfer files into device. I usually get an error message saying..the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.?? What gives? I've decided to download wifi file transfer but what should i do? Ive just rooted the device and problem existed even before then.

AirDroid tends to work better than that MTP c**p, especially for larger files.
Also I noticed MTP tends to be a bit buggish if the device goes to sleep (ie: screen turns off) especially if you use a lock (pattern lock etc).

Yeah buddy but the problem is i can't copy anything wether on MTP or the other. It won't let me. So it seems my only option is these over wifi transfers? System always gives me an error message everytime I try to make a new file or copy and paste one. Only way I see the drive is if the system in under camera mode (can't remember which one that is right now) but yeah...the other mode won't show the drive and in "camera mode " there is nothing I can do.

WiFi Hot Spot & Recovery Issue

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new S4 i9500 and like every android user moved between some roms - Arrow/Wanamlite and so ... and probably something went wrong:
1. Somewhere in between the "wipe Cache" option in recovery stop working and restarts the phone everytime i try use it.
also, when i enter the Recovery it shows me in the background an Android with Red Warning Triangle (Red triangle with '!' inside it).
tell me If I'm wrong but on other forum they told me its fine, and its a known issue on stock recovery for i9500.
2. The WiFi HoT-Spot isn't working, i can turn it on and other devices can connect but their internet isn't responding (like they're data is turned off), also happends on laptops.
Editing:
3. I have a problem with my screen, its rotating all the time and shows me a digital clock on black backgroung (the same clock from the S View Case - http://cdn.gsmarena.com/pics/13/04/samsung-wireless-charging-pad-review/gsmarena_102.jpg)
when i'm on landscape mode (games, movies...) its rotating back to vertical mode and shows this clock thing ..
it doesnt happend when I am on Flight Mode. I got a new sim, but its not it , also not an error with my celluar operator - cuz we have couple of i9500 and Im the only one who has it.
its getting annoying when it happens 30 times in 2 min. and I just cant use the phone that way.
its like fast blinking, for 1 sec. but it pauses games, movies, canceling keyboards and make the web page pop.
sorry for the poor explanation, its hard to understand num. 3 with seeing it.
hope you understand anyway.
What's Wrong with my S4 ?
thank you all .
Roy.
sorry for my poor english
any comment?
Bump.

Odd Behavior on Boot

I have a stock unrooted Verizon Galaxy S5. For several months my phone has been plagued by several issues at startup. Whether I reboot the phone or start it up after the battery has died, it always enters an odd state immediately after loading and seems to get stuck in this state for an undetermined and variable amount of time (anywhere from a few seconds or minutes to hours or even overnight).
While in this state, this is what happens:
1. Screen stays on. Once I unlock the phone, the screen stays on. The side button doesn't do anything to lock the phone or turn off the screen. Holding down the button, however, still triggers the power menu. The screen timeout never triggers, even though it should turn off the screen after 2 minutes of inactivity.
2. WiFi and Bluetooth turned off. Even if they were turned on before I powered down the phone, they are not enabled when the phone first boots up. I can manually turn them on but the WiFi will not connect to a network, even if one is available. It may show it is connecting to the network, but it gets stuck at "Checking the quality of your internet connection" and continues to use the 4G network for data connectivity. This happens no matter what WiFi network I am within range of, so it's not an issue with the network or router itself. If I am not near a network at all I will still experience the other problems of not being able to lock the phone, etc.
3. Startup applications don't load. I have Tasker on my phone, but it doesn't load and show it's notification bar icon.
Otherwise, I can use the phone normally and open applications, surf the web, etc. It seems that loading some applications and using the phone eventually causes the phone to exit this mode, but I haven't been able to find a single particular application or series of steps to fix the problem. If I power on the phone and don't use it that just seems to make it take even longer to fix itself.
Once it gets out of it's weird state, the WiFi connection will become active (it will turn on WiFi if I haven't done so manually already) and it will connect to a known network if one is available, the phone will lock itself or I can do so from the side button, and things like Tasker and Power Save mode will turn on.
I am stumped as to what could be causing this problem or how to fix it. It seems the phone may be doing some kind of check, maybe related to Knox, that hangs during startup and prevents certain things from working until it straightens itself out.
Any clues into what this problem is, what is causing it or how I could further analyze this problem and determine its cause would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of or experienced these issues. May want to contact Samsung.
Have you installed any official updates from Verizon at any point? I've heard of phones having phantom problems like this after receiving a bad update. I would definitely contact Verizon if you did update at any point. If not then like BigBot96 said, contact Samsung about the problem.
My wife's Note 2 did something similar when the battery died. I had to factory reset. Her phone was rooted/unlocked & running a custom TW ROM, though. May I suggest doing a complete factory reset and Odin. Backup data to computer or external sdcard since this will clear the entire device.
Edit: After rereading OP's post it actually sounds like an app is hanging at startup which could cause this behavior. A logcat should tell you what's going on.

Enter recovery/bootloader on LG Watch Urbane LTE (AW2.0)

Morning everyone,
Thank you for the curiosity in knowing what I require support in and I hope someone out there can help me resolve it.
I currently have an LG Watch Urbane LTE with AT&T And a couple of days ago I Installed Android wear 2.0 on the device.
Everything was working great until I started disabling system apps, one of which included Ambient mode.
As a result, my watch is now glitching. Every time I turn it on, the watch flickers as if it's trying to stay awake. I cannog access apps unless it's the Google assistant (not OK Google) and looking online for a solution hasn't been helpful.
Hell, I don't even know If it's even possible to access the recovery menu manually through buttons. In any case, the software side is definitely not working and attempting to unpaired the device with my android phone did nothing, the watch didn't allow m to confirm anything. Same goss for ADB.
Any type of support would be appreciated, last resort would be to contact LG and send the device in for repairs.

Did you enable developer mode so you can connect your watch to a computer and use adb to reboot to the bootloader (thus flash android wear 2.0 again)?

Not really, however I managed to fix it.
It was a pain, but thankfully I didn't give up!

Well what did you do to fix it. Someone may need the solution later. So please post what you did to resolve this.
Long press the mid button for several seconds to force restart your watch,when the LG logo appears,quickly slide screen from upper left to lower right corner,then it will get into fastboot menu,which means you could make a factory reset. (Chinese student poor English)

Get data from broken phone via mobile data or WiFi

Hello guys
I have got a phone (Samsung J5 (2016)) which after some mysterious action broke it's UI.
When I boot it up, the first thing that shows up is a message saying: Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.
If I press OK, it keeps showing up for a few times until the screen goes black or the background image flashes but no icons appear and no reaction to any button or touch gesture.
So resetting the phone would most likely fix the problem, but at first I would like to back up stuff from the phone.
So my question is whether someone knows if there is an app out there which I can install via Google Play Store that allows me to access the data?
What I can think of is maybe the app setting up a web server or enabling USB Debugging or any other way to communicate with the phone?
Also an MDM solution is enrolled on the phone and still synchronizing with the server so basic things do still work (no, unfortunately Sophos MDM has no ability to grab data from the phone) and I could install an app also via the MDM.
Thanks in advance...
...and no, I'm not a robot
