My GN fell down violently... The screen is ok, I mean it is not broken but it is off ! However, the phone is still working.
I restarted it, I am unable to type my PIN code but I am connected via wifi and I can still receive notifications (sound, vibrations and LED), so it seems the phone is working perfectly but I cannot use it anymore since I don't see anything.
I was thinking maybe the screen has been unplugged after the shock, any tutorial on how to "replug" the screen ?
Thanks
Maybe replace the screen or get it checked by a phone doctor!

Had my SGN for a few days now and over the last two I have come to find the phone won't respond after pushing the wake button. Some times the the notification light will be flashing, but the screen just won't turn on.
So far I've pulled the battery 4 times since yesterday... I can't find any reports of this, so I'm hoping I just got a defective unit.
I believe you have a rogue app. When I installed wave launcher it would lock the phone up in this fashion. The only way I could get the screen to turn on was to call the phone and while still on the call I had to uninstall the app and all was fine.. try and remember if you recently updated or installed an app and see if that fixes it

I got mine Friday, and when coming out of sleep the screen would turn on, but would be unresponsive to touch. If I pulled the battery, it was fine. I setup face detect to see if the phone was still active, and that would unlock it fine, I just couldn't touch the screen. I exchanged the phone yesterday with a new Nexus, and haven't had a problem since.
I believe the bad app was twicca. I installed right around the time the crashes started, and since removing it I haven't had any more crashes.
Saw another thread regarding pretty much the same issue, was SetCPU.
Previously used to see this (other devices) when something was underclocking CPU when phone was asleep, and phone wouldn't wake up)...
Anyway, glad to hear it sounds like you've got it.
On Friday night, My phone was in the breast pocket of a blazer that got very damp in an unexpected downpour. The phone continued to work on Friday night as far as I recall (I wasn't using it much, but I'm pretty sure I did use it some). When I woke up on Saturday morning, it appeared to be off and wouldn't turn on. I pulled and replaced the battery and still got nothing. I put it on the charger, but I had to run out, and I ended up being gone all day.
When I came home, the power button still wouldn't turn on the device. I pulled the battery and replaced it, and the Google screen came on, then the CM10 boot animation. When it got to the pin screen, however, the screen wouldn't respond to me entering my pin. Then, after a minute, the screen turned off, and the power button wouldn't turn it back on. I did a battery pull. Again, replacing the battery brought up the google screen, the CM10 boot animation, and the pin screen. But, again, the screen was unresponsive, and the power button did nothing when the screen went off.
I took it apart and left it alone all day Sunday. On Monday morning, I tried again and got the same results. I went and picked up a bag of white rice yesterday and left it in there last night and all of today. Still, I've got the same outcome. Buttons and screen are unresponsive.
So I'm left with a couple of questions:
First, is there anything else that can be done? This seems to me to be water damage. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible solutions?
And second, I keep getting text messages. Is there any way to pull those messages using the Toolkit or adb or anything (I'm pretty inexperienced with adb)?
Any help would be great. I'm stuck in China without a phone right now, which is a pain in the butt. I'd like to revive this, and I don't want to go track down a new phone until I know this one is sunk. Thanks for your help.
install android-sdk
run adb server on the host
connect your device to pc (feed it naked drivers manually found on dev section, if you're on windows and device manager shows unknown device)
type: adb devices
q: do you see your device listed? (should be lots of numbers and letters)
if it doesnt even recognizes that it has been plugged in, then your usb connection went down the drain, nothing else you can do
My computer recognizes the device, and I'm able to do some things using the toolkit, such as a manual reboot, so I think my usb port is intact.

then i would reflash google factory images per this guide and return the device. unless you want to DIY (open the device, etc etc)

And you would expect this to resolve the screen and buttons being unresponsive? This is interesting. Is it possible to pull my messages beforehand?

Im having a problem on my recently rooted/unlocked/updated to 4.1.2 Op G.
The screen stays on continuously while phone is off and plugged in. I checked developer options and screen options and time outs are all set to 30 seconds.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix anywhere?
I also find that the charging animation comes on if i hit the power button while the phone is off and charging but eventually it goes away and the screen stays on.
Also if the phone/screen are both off and then I plug in the phone the screen comes on and stays on.....
help?
I have this too. When I turn the phone off and charge it you can see the screen is barely lit. I noticed it when I unlocked, so assume that is the cause of it

Miners done this for as long as I can remember, but it doesn't seem to cause any sort of problems, so I've always just ignored it

saw this as recently as last night. I just waited until the battery was charged a little and turned it on to make sure everything was fine. Weirded me out though lol.
i apologize if this has been solved but i am on a very tight time frame as i need this phone for work and cant spend any longer searching. my phone randomly turned off by itself this morning and will not turn back on. it gets to the samsung splash screen and the screen just goes black and the phone wont do anything, its like the screen is stuck off, i have to take the battery out to make it turn do anything at all again. it was stock this morning, never been rooted or anything, i just rooted it about an hour ago and installed twrp and flashed jedi invasion 5 on it in hopes it would help. now it gets past the splash screen and to the initial setup screen but it only stays on it for about 3 seconds before the screen goes black again and i have to take the battery out for it to do anything again. im not an expert by any means but i have flashed note 2's and played with them a bit and know my way arround them for the most part. any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
almost forgot to mention, in download mode it says qualcomm secureboot: enable
not sure if that means anything but i didnt get any errors while flashing or anything
thanks everyone

I would make sure you have to correct drivers installed for the phone on your computer and ODIN back to stock. You can give that a try and see if it helps.
I'll check that out when I get home but I'm pretty sure everything is right, it was doing it before I even flashed anything so I think something else is the problem

Faulty battery or power button. You can try ODIN back to stock, not likely it will help.
It's not a battery or power button problem. Before I rooted it if I took the battery out and turned it on again it would turn on fine if I kept the screen from turning off. and the battery was staying charged, and if it wer a power button problem why would it work to turn the phone on but not again after its on?

My vote is a faulty power button. Has been known to happen on the S3. Could be power issues though. Bad battery could be the culprit. If flashing stock does not work see if you can get a battery to test out.

ok so i flashed stock and it fixed it temporarily. after i flashed it it was working great so i decided to root it and flash jedi. so i did this and it still worked great. (at this point i should mention that the sim card in the phone has been deactivated this whole time) so since its working i activate the simcard, restart the phone, and the problem started again. so i took the sim card right out and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine without the sim card in... what do you guys figure? should i try a new sim card? has anyone ever herd of this happening before?
EDIT: tried my other sim card in it and it doesn't work either, so it snot the simcard itself
Bump

Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??
