Clock disappearing and physical buttons unresponsive - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently started noticing my Tab S 8.4 was dropping the clock from the status bar, leaving a much smaller empty space. Whenever the clock disappears, my Home, Back, and Recent Apps buttons also disappear.

In order to rid myself of the problem, I went as far as to reset my tablet and then format my SD card (twice; first I formatted it on my desktop and again upon reinserting it into my tablet). But the problem hasn't gone away.

Wow. The problem was due to a magnet. A magnet on the back of my case.
I guess this means the case that's awesome when I need a keyboard also kinda sucks when I want to use the tablet without the keyboard, since there's no way to fold it where the tablet still works properly. Bummer for me.

(Q) Can't save scenes?

So I just noticed that I am unable to save scenes on my phone anymore. It's not a huge deal since I don't really use them, but it's bugging me knowing that it's not working. I'm running redemptive 2.2 with Viva azul 1.1 and more mods than I can fit on this page. But it was working fine as of a week ago so I know it's neither the rom nor the theme. I've tried wiping data on rosie to no avail. So the question is, what controls scenes? I still have the standard ones listed, but my current one is unsaved. When I hit save I can type whatever I want and hit done on the keyboard, but then I get some kind of default wallpaper with a line through it instead of the losing box, and it just sits on that screen until I hit home or back, but it never saves.
I'm at a loss and don't know where to look for a fix for this. Any ideas?

That is the screen that I see when I hit done.

It goes like this. The screen is still on and responsive, like I can keep pressing stuff but obviously I can't see a thing so it's pretty much useless. It happens so often now I literally cannot use my phone. Every time I turn it on it starts blacking out like this and flickering. Any ideas what this is? Thanks for helping
I think your phone's display is damaged. Anyway to be sure try a different ROM first.

yeah its not working with any other roms either. It also has this problem in recovery mode. If I try to take a screenshot it turns out perfectly fine.
+1, display seems damaged by what you describe

LCD dying with age

Anyone else notice a dim screen on their device? It was super bright when I first got it over a year ago. But recently I've been finding myself not able to read anything in daylight, so I decided to order a new phone because an LCD costs as much as a brand new phone. Here are the results:

2 year old Att i257m on left, week old Sprint l520 on right.
Flashed stock ROM back onto Att one last night thinking maybe the ROM failed on me but its just simply dimmer, by a lot. Anyone know how to look up the files that show current brightness levels?
well as an update I noticed the notification bar is brighter than the rest of the screen, It simply looks like it is worn out from use. the notification bar is black when i have browser open and what not so thats why it is unaffected.

GT-N7100 dead - no fall down just screen death seems to me

Hey folks,
I bet that many of you could remember my name, i was author of many nightlies for our beloved Note2.
My note2 pass away a few weeks ago, there was no accident or drop. Just dead in my hands while was browsing...
I could save my info, disconecting display so the phone boot up and allows me under adb save pics, etc.
As you could see under this pictures, when the phone boots, just a low darkgreen light shows up.. Did anywone have the same trouble? This device comes with me since the beginning in September 2012 with the launch time.. yep nearly 4 years. I would like to save it (i have a new motoG 2015 2gbram) but changing display its more than 120€... its insane.
To sum up i´ll say, when the phone boots up appears this low green in display and in a while the phone reboot itself without no lights, when the display its disconnected the phone complete boot and works obvious without display/imge.
Just asking if someone found this problem and what have you ...

Weird Display Glitch after using ScreenShift

Hi Guys,
I've recently installed ScreenShift (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sagar.screenshift2&hl=en_GB) on my Nexus 7 2013 to enable me to cut off bottom of the screen in landscape mode. I am planning on using the Nexus 7 and mounting it in my car but the gap that the screen needs to come through is smaller than the Nexus 7's 7" screen. After using screen shift to add a small overscan to the bottom of the screen, some apps (I believe ones made by Google are the only ones effected) have a display glitch at the bottom of them. It's like they haven't fully updated to the screen size change.
This is the hardware info app which displays the screen correctly. The extra space underneath the navigation bar is the space I have created using Screen Shift.
