Blur Screen - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA Users,
So yesterday I dropped my phone and it fell vertically top first and when I picked it up nothing was broken luckily. However, when I turn the screen it comes out blurry. Anyone, has any idea how to fix this? I'm sure is a hardware issue since i have tried everything in the software department.
I would really appreciate any suggestions, like I said before nothing is broken. I can call, send msg, browse the internet, listen to music. Everything is ok other than the clarity of the screen.
thank you guys in advance for any suggestions or possible solutions. :good::good::good:

I have tried that but the SS comes out clear crystal and I have tried to take a picture but the camera is not able to capture the blurriness of the screen. But I will continue trying to see what I can do to show the problem.

I have taken a video and some SS from that so you guys can see what happens when I turn on the screen. As you may notice it get several black lines as soon as I turn on the screen but it goes back to normal after a 1 sec or so (normal, I mean without black lines) but the blurriness doesn't go away.
thank you in advance to any reply.

unfortunately your digitizer has taken a blow and nothing can solve that except a replacement which will cause huge,still u can find out with local tech if any wire has gone loose with the connection of digitizer, if u want to do it by urself just watch videoes on youtube how to change digitizer on 7100 and see how u can check the wire connection

I have been looking all around Amazon and eBay and I can't see to find just the Digitizer. I keep finding this item over and over "LCD touch screen digitizer front glass"??? Is this it?
thank you very much for your replies.

It may not be the digitizer or lcd. I had a s2 with the same problem of streaking lines so I order a lcd with digitizer when I replace the new one the same problem persisted so I suggest u check first b4 wasting yr money. Goodluck cheers

It could be a range of things. Does it change when you move it, press the sides,tap the screen? Does it do it by itself.....when it is just sitting there...no external movement. More info needed.

it sounds as if the connector inside the phone is coming loose. If you are able, try and pressure the connector so the connection is good.

Thats the connection i am referring to. If you need assistance in dismantling the hermes, try the mod, Mike Channons guide
If it is not this, then i am not sure...
Do this as a last resort as it will void any warranty you may have with your phone... it also sounds as though the screen is on its way out.

please help. white screen problem!

hey all i am currently having a problem with me htc s621.
when my phone is on it randomly turns to a white screen after a 2 day period or so. and after a while of turning off phone/taking out battery/taking out sim card and doing this a lot it goes back to normal. im getting pretty mad and was wondering if i need to get my phone replaced or what.
any advice is helpfull. and the phone is not updated to 6.1 or anything like that. btw it all started to happen after i dropped my phone one time. i am not sure if that helps or not.
thanks in advance

The phone may be damaged. Is it a stock phone or has it be flashed with a rom?
it is purely stock no upgrades at all. today it did something new, it was white then 20 min later wen back to normal without me turning it off or anything. should i bring it in into warintee or anything i can do to help it?
I have seen simular situations before. It is possible that when you dropped it, the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the board became dislodged and is only making a partial connection. Or the LCD is just plain broken and needs to be replaced. You can get a new LCD on ebay for around $30 USD and do it yourself or take it to a repair shop and have then look at it for you.
i believe i will take it into the store tommorow. get a professional statement and opinion to see what i should do. thanks alot guys

I recall reading some time back concering the cause of the white screen had something to do with the backlight time, try making some adjustments with the backlight. Also do a serious search for that old thread dealing with this problem..............!
You would probably need a new screen and the best option would be to replace it yourself because you could find a cheap one off ebay and then just youtube and you could find on how to install the new screen.

Screen randomly doesn't respond

Hi fellow PLAY owners, I'm having trouble with my screen. I can turn my phone off no problem, but when it comes to waking it up, either by pressing the power button or the home button, my screen won't turn on. I can slide it open, and i hear stuff going on as if my screen were on, but I can't see anything. It'll be like that for random amounts of time, like 1 minute, or as long as 5 minutes or more. Any ideas? THANks
That's the flexible cable problem...

I had the same problem..... and now it wont work at anytime... ); so am trying to replace the screen digitizer.
Alright, how about a little Xperia PLAY anatomy class lesson then? What does the flex cable do and what does the screen digitizer do?
they do different jobs

the digitizer lets the software know where you pressed on the screen, the ribbon connects the screen and digitizer to the main board of phone
So which one would it be if even pressing the power button, which is a harware button, doesn't respond?
Can anyone help me by giving me the part number I should order? I'm checking eBay but there's at least two options for the same named part... Thanks guys!
Is your phone underclocked while the screen is off?
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
mine has the same problem but i think there's only a dead spot. For example, the numpad place for 4, 5 and 6. Is there any way to solve this other than taking it to a technician? Problem appears at random times also. Thanks in advance!

I think this is a different issue. My entire screen won't turn on even though the phone itself is on.
By the way, my problem has gotten worse. Now it will only turn on (by chance) after I have slid out the gamepad. Grr..

As far as I know there is no under or overclocking going on. Not unless my ROM does it without me knowing it (Gin2Ics).
Anybody know the name for the flex cable part? Or the part number? Thanks/:cyclops:
So I bought this screen digitizer thinking that it was the problem... and it took forever to get delivered! anyways, I replaced the digitizer and am having the same problem.... :/ and after I changed the digitizer I noticed that the flex cable is actually ripped!! so now I purchased it from here and I'll keep u updated.
Hey thanks so much man. Hope it gets fixed. I want to know how it works for you so maybe I might do the same. It finally died out on me and screen won't turn on at all...
That's exactly what happened to me!
soo.. it finally worked after I changed the flex cable

That's cool man. Congratulations. I, unfortunately, didn't have the same luck. My phone is out for the count. I now have the sad news of no longer being an Xperia PLAY owner. Sad face.
I'll leave this question opened though, for others who might profit from it! :highfive:

[Q] Dropped my White SPH-L710; no display or touch, help!!

Hello Everyone,
I dropped my White SPH-L710 yesterday which I was using on page plus. It has no scratches, cracks or dents on the glass, however, there is no display and no touch functionality.
When I receive the call, I can hear it ring and everything but cannot answer because the touch isn't working. The screen is dark so there is no display either. Physically it looks fine but I suspect the LCD is a goner. Any help on what I can do to fix this thing. No insurance or warranty here. I'd rather not spend a lot of money on this.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.
I believe this happened to me one time when I had my epic. I freaked for an hour... Then decided to try and Odin a stock tar... Fixed it. If your phone is ringing and working it means your display is jacked. I'm sure there is little you can do. Hopefully you have insurance.
Try to Odin... But attempt to get your phone into download mode using your memory. Volume down + home button + power button.... Wait 5 seconds, press volume up. You should then be good to go. Only advice I have.

You can replace the screen and digitizer I'm not sure how much $$$ it is though. Their are instructions on thia forum.

I tried that. The display is dead, I can't see anything when booting up, or in the recovery, or in the download mode.
@Speedin07si
I was thinking of ordering this and trying to work on it myself. Can you point me to the thread, and let me know if this is the right thing to order given the description of my problem. Thanks, much appreciated.

Search how to take it apart, and check for loose ribbons. If everything looks good then purchase a new one.

@csmasn
Thanks. I opened it up and checked everything and it did not help. So I guess the only way to fix it is to buy the LCD and digitizer.
This might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzFU_8kYDdw&list=PLCvcbJqO8a2335FcP8CKfA_IvIWlHv4VH&index=1

Not so usual screen problem

Hello guys, after screwing up my phone I'm using my tablet a lot more. So i'm experiencing some problems. The screen problems increase when i use the tablet more often, but i don't have this phantom touch problems it's actually the screen stop working. It just stays on lock screen and me unable to unlock it, i restart the tablet and still doesn't work. However the strange part is that when i hit the back of the tablet in something it immediately starts to work??? I know about the N7 touch screen issues, but i thought they were software based? But mine looks like it's hardware problem? Can you explain me and help me? Thanks.
Can somebody answer me??

If it's hardware, it's most likely, though not exclusively, the cable connections. You need to take the back cover off, and reseat them one by one. Takes a little work because there are 3 cables, one with 2 prongs. Reseat all of them if you can since you don't really know which one caused the problem.
Warranty?
Ok i saw some videos that it may be replacing the screen cables just as you said, but i have warranty. What to do? If i take it to warranty center it's most likely it will work there at the moment? It stops in random times.. What to do?
Removing the back without voiding the warranty is very simple but make sure that you will wear some sort of protective gloves and not touch any copper foil at all ( or you end up with finger prints.. ). Simply reattach the touchscreen connector cable only and you´re good to go.

Thanks for the info. Actually i can fix it easly not by hitting, but just by pressing the back cover. I saw where the cables are in a video and can permanently fix it by putting something between the back and the cables to keep thwm in place. And when i press they just go in place. For now i will just press it when needed. If the problem increases i will open and reattach all cables in place. Thanks for answers.
