[Q] Horizontal lines: hardware defect? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of a sudden my screen looks like an old interlaced CRT. Fine print looks jagged and I can see an irregular pattern of horizontal fine lines, especially on a white background. Those lines do not turn with screen rotation.
I rebooted several times with no effect. The lines appear on the recovery screen, as well.
I should mention that my phone dropped on a tiled kitchen floor this morning, but the lines only appeared at noon. Everything else works fine.
Has anybody had this problem and managed to get rid of it?

Got it repaired under warranty.

[Q] Flickering when showing gray images

Greetings.
The screen of my Desire Z seems to be acting weird when displaying certain shades of gray and transitions from black to gray. Gray that is near black becomes much lighter than the rest of the image, although the color should stay the same.
I did a test with an LCD test image to see if I could find out what was wrong, and I discovered that displaying the image in vertical position gave quite a lot of flickering in the middle. Could someone download the picture on their phone and see if they get the same result as me? I get flickering when displaying it in vertical mode all zoomed out, but when I turn it horizontaly everything is fine.
Bump. Also, 10 characters.

[Q] Screen Issues: Static Screen Vertical Lines Right Before Lock Screen

When I wake the phone, seconds right before the lock screen I notice a type of static screen with vertical lines.
It is more apparent when trying to wake the phone in dark settings or a dark room.
Stock Phone, No Modifications.
Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this on their Epic 4G Touch? I just got the phone 3 days ago and am wondering if its a hardware issue and if I should return it. Any help is appreciated.
Attached is a picture that resembles the pattern.
I've never noticed it. I even tried to re-create the issue and I couldn't. I am also running the stock firmware (EG30) and I am not rooted.
Thanks for the help... I'm not taking any chances. Called to get a replacement.

Did you ever resolve this? My dad just gave me his tablet, and it has like a 2 inch wide column in the middle of the screen where a bunch of flickering black lines jump around. It only happens on white backgrounds, and the more white there is, the worse it is. In the settings screen, it's bad, but on the blue background home screen, they aren't there at all.
It's not a solid black bar like yours, but a bunch of thin, horizontal lines about 2 inches wide down the middle of the screen, almost on the mirror side of where your bar was showing up

[Q] Static screen and no vibration during disassembly

Hello XDA
I was replacing the screen of my htc one x and using some youtube videos as reference to how I should do it. The screen worked fine but as I was putting the cover back on the cellphone, I noticed the screen was showing a weird static-y rainbow image. I disassembled the phone to see if there were any snapped wires/something unplugged, but everything seemed fine. When I put everything back together, now the vibrating piece isn't working, and the screen is still displaying the static problem. Any way to fix this? Thanks...

[Q] Sometimes several lines appear in the bottom of screen

I have problem with my beloved phone. Sometimes there are several horizontal lines appear in the bottom of screen and disappear after being locked - unlocked. Is that a bug of firmware/ROM? I used Revo 5 and now using Carbon 4.4.4 n the anoyying line still appeare sometimes. Maybe the problem is recovery or anything like that..
Anyone knows how to solve it??
Defective LCD
Try to replace a brand new LCD buddy, the lines that appear is a sign that your LCD is not in good condition, however you can still use your phone for several period of time.
