Okay, I have a sprint Samsung galaxy s3. Which was flashed over to straight talk. The phone has worked just fine for the past almost 2 years... then the other day, it wouldn't turn on....
I took battery out and let it sit for a bit, then it finally turned on. But when it did, the screen color was messed up. It was like really really light and it would flicker once in a while. Later on it was back to normal. Then once again the color went bad. The next day I woke up and there is no more picture at all really. I believe the phone still turns on, I just can't see anything now. It flashes like a green line down the screen once in a while and it vibrates everything it flashes.... I had the battery checked and it's fine...
So do I need a new lcd screen or something?? Or is there some other reason that it could be doing this?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys!!

Sorry to say it but it sure sounds like your screen is fried.
Can you get into your recovery? If so and you're able to see it properly, your ROM is the issue. If not, your screen is gone.

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

This kinda sucks because I have a feeling it's a hardware issue, I'm over my 14 days and I'm scared that I might get a phone with LOS. Damn I thought I almost got away with a problem free epic.......

Same is happening to me, I made a thread about it and no help, might be a hardware issue.

tonight mine freaked out a little bit but not exactly the same as yours. My phone appeared to freeze up for a few seconds and then anytime I pressed any of the capacitive buttons the voice talk app would say "what would you like to do?" I had to reboot it to get it to stop.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

Well front desk girl almost ate this phone.... I felt kinda bad abt it afterwards.. Repair guy stayed behind the glass window... So after some pressure, they decided it was a hardware issue with the touch screen, an replaced the phone.

Yea, I get this issue every now and then. Some of the ROMs give me less frequency, but it always seems to happen again.

congrats on getting a replacement. unfortunately, im outside my 14- and 30-day period so i suppose im stuck with this issue
anyone with any more info on this? Mine starting doing this recently.
Factory Reset was a no fix.
This started happen to me too, my home button gets "stuck" when i press the power it would take a screen shot. I hope its not a hardware issue, i really baby my phone. I am calk rom 2.0. Also i belive samsungs warrenty should cover it for free.

Damn, that doesn't sound right. I wouldn't wait if it happens anymore. If you don't have insurance, will they charge the $100 deductible?

So I've had my Epic Touch 4g for about three months. It's been great and all, but today the screen just randomly became really washed out. Like the contrast has been turned down. Grays are way too bright and such.
Altering brightness has no effect on this. I've turned it off and back on, removed the battery entirely for up to 10 minutes.
So... hardware malfunction? Should I take it to Sprint(it's still totally stock software)? Or is this a software problem that can be fixed?
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If its totally stock I'd say take it in and have it restored if soft reset did not fix it
More info: A factory reset, which I have now tried, has no effect on the screen. It's still washed out badly.

Yeah i did. It's not that. I've already emailed Sprint about it.

I'm new to this phone, bought it two days ago and just rooted it today. Ever since I got the phone there's always been a 1-2 sec delay from the time I press the power button to when the screen unlocks. I've searched around but every thread I've found turns into a bunch of mindless arguing over to whether it's a problem or not. I would just like to know if there's a way to get rid of it or if it's something I just have to learn to live with. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated :]
I've never noticed / never takes more than a second from push power to unlocked screen.

There is no fix other than changing the minimum cpu but that would drain your battery. I guess the issue has gone unnoticed for me after using this phone for about a nine months.

It could be noticeable when coming from other devices but if you have stuck with Samsung for your smartphones for sometime it will probably go unnoticed. I thought that too when I first came over.

Not sure what you think anyone here can do for you. It sounds buggered to me... How old is it? You're likely going to have to RMA it for a repair under warranty.
have you turned negative mode on, hold power for option to turn off

remove the battery leave it out for few hours or a day then try again... other than that no clue...you will have to send it to a Samsung store for servicing if under warranty they will fix for free

Recently my Tab 3 has been acting a bit weird. Currently it is not rooted and is only a few months old. The other day the screen would go from dim to bright and then black out. Sometimes while doing this the screen would turn a grayish color with vertical white lines. Even though this is happening it always comes back to normal. Has anyone experienced this and if so what is going on an what can I do to fix it.
The only thing I can think of is its the LCD panel going haywire. I'll notice mine flickering in the background while on a white screen so potentially I could have the same problem later down the road.
Sorry not much help, but it is a hardware problem

I'm sure this would fall under warranty right?

I never do warranty, but I'm pretty sure it would. Unless if someone else can chime in on this. But I'd get it checked out before it does get any worse then what it is.
If your rooted, unroot before you do and try to Odin back to stock or they'll tell you rooting was your problem which it never is lol
