ok yes i searched i promise lol. So i have a verizon samsung galaxy nexus that was working and now isnt. The phone powers up and I can get into download mode. I am able to access the phone through my computer. and even able to take screen shots which i can then view. So the phones screen is just black and i am out of ideas, i even downloaded the GN toolkit and dinked around in there but im not sure which version of android is on there. So this is my final attempt.. if anyone has any other suggestions. Id appreciate it Thanks.
oh and dont mind my stats on the forum. im on this dam site so much but i have never had a problem i couldnt fix with finding the answers on here.. until now..
When all else fails flash back to stock to verify it's not a hardware issue.

I'm pretty sure it's hardware. Can you see the screen when on bootloader?

Hey I was just wondering if this was just me..but when i boot up the phone on the boot up animation as the colors are doing they're thing, it looks like the screen is a bit pixelated or as if it has oily blotches on the screen. I was wondering if that's normal with the phone or if like i should get it replaced. and than also with that..this is my second phone already..i exchanged my first one cause the usb connector wasnt working, would verizon exchange this one with no problem also?
Only in the boot animation? Are you sure it isn't supposed to look that way?
Yes, the boot animation is a bit rough-looking normally.

ah alright i wasnt sure if it was supposed to look that way or not..thanks for that merry christmas all!
it's normal, to made the boot animation smoother.
Hated to bump an old thread, but it seemed to be the closest hit.
Just got my GNex from Google Play today. When I turned on the phone for the first time, the animation discussed here appeared to be absolutely vivid and stunning - HD quality. It was quite impressive indeed.
However, after accepting the system update nag it appears grainy and closer to SD quality following the update. It's now feeding my paranoia about everything else I look at.
Other than that, I don't see any other screen issues other than the blue tinge when viewing from indirect angles.
Not sure what all the update did. Looks like I am running Android Version 4.04 and kernel version 3.0.8-gda6252b
Sound normal?
Rooted?

Flash that.
If not...
You can open that .zip...find the bootanimation.zip
and adb push it to /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Not rooted, but possibly heading in that direction. Just getting acquainted for now and making sure I don't need to send it back before I get too intimate with it.
Need to do some more forum searching and start sequencing out a plan. Thanks for your file link, I'll put it with my arsenal.
Hey
I had some issues with the Touchscreen of my GNex, i thought it was nothing special, because i had something similiar on my xoom too but it only occurred 1 time on it.
Then i've tested the GNex for some Days and i'm now very sure it's a hardware defect, but i want to know what you think of it.
I'll try to describe it a bit:
Sometimes (i sadly don't know when or why) it launches a line of touch-inputs rapidly on the right side of the screen. It's really annoying because it starts a bunch of apps or commands...it even shuts down my alarm in the morning sometimes.
The big problem is, i'm on Vacation for 2 weeks soon...means i can't give it back to warranty now...maybe there is a way to disable the sensetivity of the touchscreen because these inputs are very light. With a testapp i was able to see that it's half as "heavy" as when i tap the screen with a finger.
I've attached a vid of it, maybe someone could say if this happens on their GNex too...i doubt no. (The vid is not that good, please apologize)
Link: http://goo.gl/QnTy7 (Sorry Attachment doesn't work somehow)
No one out there with a idea what's wrong with my gnex? :-(
I would go to verizon and see if there is anyway they could give you a replacement considering your circumstances. Or maybe they would give you a loaner phone while yours is being serviced.
Does it look a bit like this behavior?

I would get a replacement phone from T-Mobile but that would be a real old phone and I have a nexus s here so maybe use this.
But would be nice to know if it's a hardware defect or if it's fixable....
I'll try to exchange it after my vacation.
Yes it's the same behaviour as in that video. I uploaded one too in the first post and mine is only a bit more right on the screen...
I'm really disappointed because my nexus s has some defects too and I'm curious if all Google devices has some defects....
Thanks for the answers
0 defects on my Nexus S
0 defects on my Galaxy Nexus
damn thats gotta suck :s
maybe flash any custom rom? hope you have your bootloader unlock or any pc close
I'm using CM9 since I got the GNex, will try reflashing it tomorrow with full wipe. Will report then.
Hope it's only the ROM, the screen works perfectly aside from this.
I didn't know you were running I custom rom, I would definitely try and do a full wipe and load the rom again or a different one.
The problem on my gnex went away after the ota update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2.

I'm using CM9, latest nightlys. Did a full wipe and reflashed from scratch, same problem... maybe try stock or other rom when i'm back home..
Whats up guys. Im sick of waiting for updates on my Verizon Gnex. Against my better judgement, I decided I want to root and install Pete's Bugless Beast Jellybean. Ive read somewhere that I need Wugfresh? whatever that is. Also, I am on a iMac, will that make things more difficult? Also, all things working in that ROM?
Try here - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12013-how-to-step-by-step-oem-unlock-and-root/
Use my sig (potentially in conjunction with the one above)
Preface any commands with ./ and you'll be fine.
Thanx guys! I followed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AvJI4ucOL4 and everything worked fine after a few snafus. I flashed Pete's Bugless Beast and now am just staring at the colorful "X" screen for over a minute now. It hasn't started up yet.
Still stuck on the "X" boot screen after all this time!
Rooting is the best choice for this phone anyway.

Guys, i'm stuck on the X boot screen and I have no idea what to do! Please help!
Oh wait it FINALLY booted!
Ok so a little after midnight i rebooted my phone cuz it was being flaky.
Then it got stuck on the Cyanogen SGS boot screen from PAC 20.1 I tryed to ODIN cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. I got that to stick but every time i would flash a rom it would get stuck and end up and the samsung boot screen again. i tryed to flach cm9.1 and it hang at the BLM MTD part for a very long long time. then it went to the gray screen(the backgound of cwm 6) so that didn't work. So i tryed to ODIN stock EL30 EC05 just like hear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Well that ended with the phone booting up after about 40 minues. But i could not unlock the dam thing. So i did it again & left it for an hour & now its just siting there 12:19 on the clock but i cant unlock the phone. the sprint 4G boot aniy was/is all chopy and the sound cuts in and out. IDK i think my Epic is Epicing F(ced
(i'v been ODINing & reading xda all night:crying: )
Any ideas?
How about just going back to 100% stock FC09? Use re-partition, and you may even want to consider EFS clear (unless not on Sprint). Try that and let it run on that for a day. Note any issues that appear.
If no issues, then try to flash another rom.
Worst case scenario, your flash memory is on it's last leg and heading to become kaput. Flash memory only has so many reads & writes before it kicks the bucket. Constant flashing of roms over the lifetime of this phone diminishes the lifespan faster than a regular user.
A regular user wouldn't even come close to the read/write red zone for this flash memory, but a custom rom user/tester could (especially given the age of our phone).
Which is precisely why I find a somewhat stable ROM and stick with it for about 3 months, then i update/switch ROMs

I typically only flash stable roms and stick with one for 4-8 months before doing a fresh Odin, re-root and new rom flash. I'm your normal user here; I stick with what I know works.

A big ole nothing. I've tried to get discounts and upgrade fees waived before, and they have given nothing. I'm a 10+ year customer.
Once a nicer than Nexus 4--Nexus device comes out, or if Sprint's suck-tacular service becomes even more sucky, I'm jumping to T-mobile.

SGS III Purple for $0.99 FTW
I really loved my Epic & i'l be back around the forums, my buddy has a busted Epic so maybe i can make one working phone out of the two.:good:
zman I have the EXACT problem with my Epic 4g, it's brand new I have only had it a handful of days and I haven't a clue as to what caused this error, my clock also reads 12:19 and the screen is unresponsive, so I can't slide unlock the screen to get usb debugging checked either. I am by no means new to android, flashing roms or anything else so this wasn't some noob error on my part.
I have messaged QBKing77 and he is as perplexed as I am, and well I figure if he can't figure it out, we might just be screwed.
Did you get yours fixed? If so could you please share what you did.
If i get it fixed I'll be sure to let you all know how i did it.
I have been playing with my new Purpal SGS III

Nope. I had it fixed then it went back to the same old issue. I've tried every version of odin, Heimdall and using every possible pit, .tar and md5 file combination I can come up with and I cannot remember what I used the first time to fix it. blah

Years owned : Since 2012
Model : SGH-L317
Carrier : AT&T
Good Morning, everyone.
I've had my note 2 since 2012 and I didn't have an issue until now. The phone is rooted (I believe it was CleanRom Ace with the Apex Settings thing), and as the title says it, I guess it was time the phone finally got some kind major error and it started with freezing on the logo screen when booted. I thought maybe I leave it like that overnight , so I wake up, completely dead now its stuck on battery screen logo. I think I can still get access to the menu (hold home,volume down and power button) where i can access odin. No recovery mode..no nada =/...
So I need to know if this is just a battery issue or maybe its time that I set this to factory settings? But I still want it rooted.. Please help everyone. I understand most of this so I just need a boost of confidence from everyone and know if this is possible to fix. Thank you very much!
Adam.
Had similar issue with note 10.1 tab, turned out the storage became corrupted, now it's just a nice paper weight.... Best of luck thou-

Well the thing about this note 2 is that it's been pretty much indestructible. I've had to Odin back to stock, flash chainfires files and start over. So is suggest that. Odin back to stock and start over. Ps google is your friend

all due respect, they were my friend, they wouldn't guide me to a bunch of sites that really has no significant answer. It's like i said, I used many versions of Odin. it just doesn't wanna work. I got those Pit at mapping messages and... yea. That's pretty much the end of it.
EDIT : i made another thread about it , so someone should close this.
