Hopefully someone here can help. I've tried researching the problem and I can't seem to find any answers.
I recently damaged the LCD on my Note II. The replacement assembly arrived today and I just finished the repair. All seemed well. The phone booted up properly and everything seemed to work fine. About 20 seconds after boot the loudspeaker started making an extremely loud buzzing noise. This lasted for about 5-10 seconds and then would continue to come and go, each time lasting for approximately the same amount of time. After a bit of troubleshooting I noticed this would also occur anytime I tried playing anything at all from the loudspeaker though was not limited to this alone as it continues to come and go seemingly at random. Music, notifications and the like will not play.
Prior to the damage the phone was in 100% working condition. I am also 100% sure that the repair was done correctly. Taking this into account I have no idea whatsoever what the issue could be.
Other than this, everything else on the device seems to work fine. I should also note (no pun intended) that I am fairly certain no other components where damaged along with the LCD.

I got my S3 last year, a week or two past the release. I had rooted and flashed a stock debloated ROM, though I couldn't say which as it's been so long. Worked fine for a little bit, but then overnight, it stopped producing sound, and it wasn't just that it got ticked to silent mode. I changed volumes, tried keypad noises, nothing. Also, upon receiving or making a call, it would send out, and crash the phone, causing a reboot. I pulled the battery, and noticed a faint bit of moisture inside the device, but my water damage indicator was not ticked.
I had given up on it until recently, now that I'm a tad bit more knowledgeable about these sorts of things, and I used Odin to flash back to bone stock with no problems. Sadly, the problems I have with sound and calling are still present.
I assume this is a hardware issue due to the moisture I had found present in the device, but I'd like to know how I could further troubleshoot this to know for sure.
Any suggestions would be grand, thanks.

If flashing back to stock/factory reset didn't fix it, chances are that it's from the moisture. You can clean it off with some can air and put it in a bag of rice for a day or two to see if it will help.
Hi everybody, I've been googling and looking into all the posts (here in xda) I could related to my problem.
Currently I'm in Nepal, and bought a second hand One X International version; the unit was barely used with very minor wear signs. A couple of weeks ago I was driving on the road and it started pouring rain, made it home in about 5 mins. Phone did not appear to have gotten very wet, however I took the silicon case of and dried the screen with a piece of cloth. I forgot to turn the phone off and as everything seemed fine, I continued using it for the next couple of days.
Two weeks later I start getting complains from people I was on the phone with stating that they could barely hear me, but oddly enough at times they mic volume went up and all the sudden they could hear me crystal clear.
If I turn the phone into speaker mode then they can hear me, the same happens with headphones.
Tried getting rid of stock Sense (not sure what version I had, I know it was JB 4.1.1 and Sense 4+), flashed IceColdJelly 3.5.1
Also left the phone off in rice for about 2 days (it was too late to do it but tried it anyways)
My phone does not have warranty and I'm reluctant to send it into a Repair Center here as I've heard friends and their terrible experiences with them in here.
So I decided to open my phone to see if the MIC was clogged/dirty or something (plus I have the WiFi signal issue) but everything on the inside seems fine. The phone itself seems to have never been open.
The MIC still sounds muffled (no it is not completely dead), tried the stock android Sound Recorder and barely pics up my voice if I speak directly into it.
Could it be a software issue? If not, how can I test and know which MIC I need to buy???
Any help, tips or thoughts will be much appreciated!!!
P.S. I also tried doing a Factory Reset. Nothing changed
problem apparently solved
so last night I managed to restore the phone into it's original state with a nandroid backup. Haven't been able to fully check the issue properly because I did not put the phone back the bezel yet. But now volume in video recording is normal, and have been told that I can be heard on a call
I am on my second Pixel C where the backlight has stopped working after a month. The screen still works, if I shine a light at it just right I can see the contents (especially when they are white), but the backlight just doesn't come on. The previous one did this on and off for about a week while waiting for the replacement, meaning it would occasionally come back on and work for a little while. But, right before the replacement arrived, it went off and never came back on. My replacement did it for the first time today (it is one month old now), I connected to my laptop when I got home and issued an "adb reboot", and it appears to be working again. I have requested a refund from Google, but they said they couldn't authorize it, so I have filed a dispute with my credit card company in order to get my money back.
Overall, I like the device. I have had to work around a few of its shortcomings, but everything was satisfactory. I just can't keep replacing something every month.
Has anyone else experienced this? I mean, I know how to search and have found similar reports, this exact issue. Where the screen still comes on and is visible under the right lighting conditions, but the backlight is just non-functional. If so, what was the recourse you took to solve it? I have tried not putting it in my case (thinking that was the problem), rebooting (which occasionally has worked, but not always), factory resets (real tough without being able to see), plugging it in when malfunctioning, leaving adaptive brightness disabled, cursing at it and throwing my hands up in the air in frustration, etc. Nothing reliably works, and now I am afraid to let it go to sleep seeing how it came back after the reboot today.
Thanks for reading this...
My Pixel C started doing this last week. Wasn't so bad at first, but it's slowly gotten worse and starting last night the backlight will go hours without turning on. I've tried charging it, hooking it up to my computer, and just finished a factory reset and nothing has worked. Just like you if I shine a light at the right angle I can see things, but that's not exactly fun to do. Bought it at the end of March, so it almost made it 4 months.
One thing I should add, and this is probably a coincidence, is it started happening right after I downloaded the July updates. I only mention this in case someone else has had a similar experience.
My second one had gotten even worse, the screen sometimes comes on now, but the right half is either just fuzz or completely distorted, and the touch screen is non functioning.
I have ordered a Samsung galaxy tab s2, and will get my money back either from Google (doubtful), or my credit card company. Hope Samsung updates it at least to N.
I'm so torn, when it worked the pixel was awesome, I love the screen, closest any has come to the ratio of my camera. But two in a row only lasting a month each, and it's hard to consider a third, or fourth...
Sorry yours is glitching out on you, hope you get a satisfactory resolution.
I have the same problem. Exactly like you describe above. Since my Pixel C is one month out of warranty there is nothing I can do except warn others not to buy this product,

Same here for me. First one started with screen issues as described above, lucky for me i was 3 days before the end of waranty, second one lasted 93 days... 3 days out of waranty for a replacement device! Thanks Google for a cheap device...

I face the same issue, and was able to turn on the backlight by adjusting its brightness using the touch screen. Try shining a torch onto it while locating the brightness setting. This temporary fix works for me every time, and hope it helps someone.
Trying the torch was very useful! I now know for a 100% that the backlight doesn't work. I used the torch to see what I was actually doing on the screen, and erased all data & cleaned the cache.
Unfortunately the backlight stayed off, so I assume it's a hardware issue.
I've sent an email to Google support, hopefully they can get this one fixed or replaced.
did you manage to fix your issue ?
Same issue here, and no not resolved.
The only thing I can do to work around it is keep tapping the power button every second. Eventually you get lucky and the backlight will turn on. (Rebooting doesn't seem to be needed.)
Hi all,
I bought this tablet as a gift for my little brother. He encountered the very same issue 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it became worse today, as now backlight won't turn on anymore, even after a reboot and a factory reset.
It must be a hardware issue...
I will try to contact their after sales service, as the tablet isn't even 6 months old.
HI, my first Pixel c met this issues after 20 months... first it was only sometimes and backlight came back after some pushes on the power button... but it get worst and worst: 2 days without backlight and at the end half screen fuzzy issues. I order a replacement product with my warranty (2 years in Europe)... and now my second Pixel meets the same issue... with a no responding screen issue too... it's awful and my warranty is over yet... nothing can fix this...! something seems to be bad quality in this device....
I'm on my 2nd pixel c and final. Google support said that because they had replaced it under warranty the warranty only applies to the original purchase date not the replacement which seemed BS to me because I was shipped a refurb tablet
Never the less using adb/ fast boot I was able to get the device into bootloader and blindly reload the entire operating system. It was only until I performed a wipe within TWRP that the screen started working again. Interesting and now off it is working for the past hour or so. Currently applying latest updates but not holding my breath. Unfortunately it looks like Google is killing off the tablets and I don't know if any of their Engineers have actually tried to use a Chromebook in place of a tablet but it just doesn't translate well. If I cannot get this device working reliably I may buy another refurb to get a few more years out of it. The pixelbook is way too heavy for Couchsurfing
The screen comes and goes with no particular interaction. I'm really bummed because I had gotten so used to this device. I buy another but I'm afraid it's going to happen again. I don't see any tablets that are upgrades either. The Android tablet days are over. Pixelbook is not intuitive. Although it runs Android apps it does so very poorly with in Chrome OS and it's very bulky. I'm a try my luck with another refurb off eBay. Have not been able to find anyone that can repair it
The battery on my HTC 10 was completely shot and needed to be replaced. I'm a careful person by nature and this being my first phone repair, I bought an extra screen just in case something happened getting it apart. Followed a guide by jerryrigeverything on how to take apart the phone, got the battery replaced, everything seemed to go smoothly. When I went to test the display before screwing everything together, the new screen I installed lit up, but the right half of the display only showed as a repeating segment from the middle of the screen. Thinking the connector was loose, I disconnected and reconnected the display and made sure everything was tight: same problem. I reinstalled the original display, which I made sure had worked after cutting through the adhesive before I disconnected it, and now the old display is also showing the same issue.
The touch screen on the broken side of the display still works, I'm able to type PIN numbers and whatnot even though I can't see them properly. Only thing I can think of is maybe the connection actually got some debris or something inside of it? I don't think I damaged anything, as I was super careful, but it was also my first time opening up a phone.
Sorry for the inefficiently worded post. Any help would be really appreciated.
Did you resolve this?
I have exactly the same issue you describe after my screen replacement (with two new screens) Believing the first was a dud.
I have done many screens/batteries on my m7, m8's previously never having a problem.
I'm currently back to running my M8 and miss my 10!
Anyone reading this and has any suggestions they are all welcome!!
Thank you in advance
Exactly the same issue this guy has

I'm now wondering if it is just bad aftermarket screens?
Has anyone else replaced their screen successfully, if so where did you get the screen?
Thanks Rory
I have been having the same problem. I just tested screen number 4 that has the same exact problem. Is there a specific brand that is known to test well?
I dropped my 10 in water at work...believe it was a salty water at that. It stopped working completely. I opened the phone to check the internal components for damage and I broke the LCD doing so. I replaced the battery and the screen at almost the same time. I think it may have been a week or two apart.
The battery is still working. The screen worked initially but the phone kept getting really hot and the heat kills the phone. I tried keeping it cool at all times which kept it operational. It hasn't been activated since I quickly replaced the phone with another of my lines upgrades. I went back to the phone to check it out and try using it as a replacement for my daughter but the screen no longer works.
The battery charges just fine...the led light indicates that well. I've tried reinstalling it several times with no success getting the screen working again. I tried the original screen to check and I could see light and it was responding but its not usable so I'm stuck with a phone that has a new non-working display. I think the brand was called DIYRepair or similar.
If anyone has encountered this and has advice...I'd be happy to try anything.
Hello , nice to meet you all. I am a new XDA user so apologies if i do any mistakes.
Yesterday, i got the 2 GB Ram variant of the LG G3 D855 from a relative. The phone almost works fine, except for two problems:
The first problem is that sometimes, the phone either locks up for about 3 seconds and shuts off (or maybe the screen shuts off? not sure), or either it completely reboots on it's own. I know, there is already information about this on the internet, however, some people say that it's a battery problem, some say it's an overheating problem. I am just confused. By the way, the issue happens no matter if the phone is charging or not. It also happens even when the phone isn't overheating, although it happens less. I may try a battery replacement, but unsure if it will fix it or not.
The second issue is, it's not really a critical issue, but it's just annoying. For some reason, especially when the phone overheats, the screen's right bottom side starts glitching (It also mostly happens on the home screen for some reason). And no, i don't mean flickering. Some glitchy lines appear at that portion of the display for about a millisecond and then goes away most of the time. Today the phone overheated when i was watching YT once and those lines appeared for like 5-10 seconds.
Also, i've noticed that the phone overheats a lot. Like, it gets quite hot sometimes.
I've already tried a factory reset, but it did not fix anything. The phone is running the stock Android Lollipop 5.0 firmware by the way. I did not want to take a risk trying to upgrade the phone to Marshmallow or install a custom ROM because of these problems.
I don't want to spend too much on the repairs of this phone since i've already got an another phone with almost the same specs as the LG G3. But i also want to use this phone. I just like it's design so much. Please tell me if it is worth getting it fixed and what i should do to get it fixed at the lowest cost possible. By the way, i don't understand much about the hardware of smartphones (I will get it repaired to an expert). So please, try to explain the problem as simple as you can do. Thank you and i wish you all a great day.
UPDATE: I've also noticed that the phone also has the screen flickering/disappearing issue.
However, asides from that, i've found an another issue too. So this evening, the phone was overheating too much so i decided to let it cool down a bit. So i closed the apps and put it into sleep mode. After about 5-10 seconds, the phone started doing REALLY LOUD tv static like noises. I immediately pulled the battery out, and i am afraid to turn on the phone because of that. I think the sound didn't come from the battery but i am still afraid.
I will bring the phone to a repair centre. But at this point, i don't know if it is worth getting it repaired. I am so confused. Is the phone dead or not? I've tried pulling the battery out and trying to boot the phne while it was getting charged (DON'T DO IT for your safety) and i get the "No battery" screen. I hope anyone that understands the hardware of this phone will help me. Thank you all.
