I just tried to call a friend, and then the screen has gone black. I could hear the voicemail recording, but cant do anything about it.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, charging it normally but nothing is working. I think there's been an issue with the proximity sensor at the top of the screen as there is a little red light on.
Is there anything I can do other than sending it back? Lord knows how long that will take and I havent backed up any of my phones data

hi
getting replacement phone tomorrow so was just checking forum. anyway i had the same problem but it happened way too many times after making calls. ended up contacting my provider for a new phone.
as im under 28days they will exchange it at my doorstep so i dont have to send it back or not have a phone for a few hours.
btw do not know why this happens but not noticed it on the newer update.

Hello guys,
Yesterday I unfortunally dropped my HOX for the first time. After that, I'm having troubles with it.
When I press the power button the screen doesn't turn on. Sometimes I manage to turn the screen on when I receive a call or by hard rebooting (power+volume down) but when it goes off, I cannot turn it on again.
I also seems a bit lagged (when it is on) and sometimes it freezes (even with lines of ramdom pixels) and comes back to normal after a few seconds.
I have already hard reset and nothing happened. It seems like a hardware problem.
Can anyone shed some light? (ps.: i haven't unlocked the bootloader)
"Can anyone shed some light?" ......er yeah, you dropped it and now it's [email protected]#ked! case closed!

cipcivil, have you opened by yourself or did you take it to htc? If you did by yourself, what did you do?
Ive been using my phone for a month now, as I'm on a 2 year contract with my service provider. I have not dropped nor physically damaged my phone. But when I try powering on my phone. It doesnt turn on. Only way is to restart it. And even after doing so, the screen becomes unresponsive after a short while. The green notification light still blinks, sound works. its just the screen. Help! and is there anyone else having the same problem??

Well, i have partially the same problem as yours...the screen blank but when you press the power button, only the capacitive button lights on..and i believe the screen is working just doesnt showing any display....someone said to me its a motherboard problem and the only way to fix this is returning your HOX for a replacement...if you still have warranty of course...if not, the cost is

This is the power button for sure.
I had the same problem, and all I did was to open the screws and clean the contacts with alcohol and clean up the edges with tooth pick and put everything back again. Tried couple of times and that fixed my issue.
Hope that helps. .

The G3 just dropped down on the floor with the circle case. Then It was working some minutes apparently with no problem, until I myself turn the phone off and restart it. Then the device just didn't turn on. The only thing is that the screen is black and the led notification blinking green and blue
when i connect the charger, the red led blinks once and then disappears, then after 30 seconds the red led appears which apparently shows that the phone is charging the battery. Also When I connect the phone to the PC, a sound of connection is heard from PC but the PC doesn't complete the device recognition process as no new device is found.
I tried to make a hard reset, but nothing happens when I press the power and volume down keys. Tried some other tricks with the battery and the hard keys on the phone but no result at all, as the same story just repeats. Does anybody have a solution for the problem? This devise is the only android device I have
Help
Please Help :crying:

Did you do anything else after/during the time that the phone was off? And is there no possibility that you cracked the LCD digitizer? I mean it might sound strange but this is what I had with my old phone. I dropped it, nothing serious but then I put it in my pocket and upon taking it out I noticed the screen not turning on. As stated above, my digitizer was broken and multiple people told me that the digitizer had a small crack which I didn't notice, then when I put it in my pocket I put too much pressure on the digitizer cracking it. The LED-light did work though, and this sounds very similar so my advise going to the store and asking wether they know what the problem might be.
(Hopefully this was helpfull hehe)

If you Don't see the LG splash screen when pressing the power button it seems like a screen or digitizer problem for sure.
BUT;
after you try turning it "on" let it sit a few minutes and see if you can call your self or send a text to see if it makes noise vibrates etc. to confirm a screen problem.
OR
Also you can try putting it into download mode.
Battery pull (don't turn on)
plug USB into phone but not computer
Hold volume down AND then plug usb into computer
if this comes up to a pic of something on the phone it will be software related. to get out of this mode you can do a battery pull.
Remember to always read up on topics and things you are doing. There are guides here on XDA to help you out.
Hope you get your phone working

I didn't do anything special after/during the time the phone was off. I checked the screen very carefully under a lamp. No particular sign of crack. Thank you very much for sharing ur experience.:good:

I tried to put it into download mode, but no result at all as no connection could also be made between the phone and PC. Moreover, I tried to make a text/call, but nothing is received by the phone. Thank you very much for ur suggestions.

Seems like the drop damaged the memory and the phone can't reload it, you will have to bring it in

Yeah that's plausible ! I'd bring it in too
Hope you fix your phone fast
Yeah... Probably it's a hardware problem. Someone who checked the phone in order to fix it, said that the problem had been with the device board. Even though I was satisfied with the phone, I have found out that the G3 is a sensitive device, as the height of the table from which it dropped down wasn't too much. So always take care of your G3 phone.
Hello everyone.
I have an Galaxy Active 2 and have a problem with it which I can’t manage to fix.
I watched some tutorials but nothing helped.
The screen is black and it does not turn on. I tried holding one button for 30 seconds, holding other button, holding both buttons, pressing them for many times but nothing works, the watch does not turn on.
When I put the watch on a charger it shows the percentage of 97+% and that’s the only moment I see something on the display.
Is there any fix for this? I was thinking already of disassembling it and taking the battery out and reset it that way and check if that helps. But before I do that I would like to know if there’s anything else I could do.
Thanks!
