HTC One X Screen problem. Black/White/RGB like detuned TV

I can't think how to describe this, so haven't found another thread on here or on google, so have to post a picture.
It hasn't been dropped: When the Sleep Android app woke me up this morning I noticed that there was time-lag between my commands and the phone reacting. This was a bit annoying, but it seem to warm up and THEN it just FLIPPED RIGHT OUT. I have got it working again with a Soft Reset, but it's dodgy and keeps FLIPPING OUT every now and again.
Any idea what I can do?

No I haven't seen it before that's why its a hardware problem if it is a software problem I am sure you are not alone.
Tv gets detuned when it does not receives signal possibly your lcd is not receiving signals or your hox's hardware is not sending signals to lcd.

but it is fine after a soft reset? This suggests software, no?

If it is working then congrats. If your phone still not working properly then take it to the hospital he needs htc doctors.

Sorry Turn on the display and do a pressure between the display and the right down side on the main camera.

Also now there is a 5 second delay on commands. My dad rang earlier, I pressed accept call and it didn't react and it went to Voicemail.
Should i try a factory reset?

Becouse I have the same problem this is BFD(Blck Screen of Dead) The only one solution is to repleace the mainboard. If you have warranty go back to stock and relock bootlader and hope they will repear for free or wait until go so bad and the display stop working and they can't see your status on the bootlader. My phone start slowly to die until one day totaly dead and I am happy because before the dead I go back to stock and relock and they changed the phone after one month in service center with new one. I hope you have warranty. Good luck my friend.

Okay, also it's still laggy. Was that a problem with you?
I replaced the screen already, last year so that shouldn't be a problem.

Please help! Galaxy Tab S glitch.

So, I got a Tab S a couple of months ago and then about a month ago I started having some trouble with it. Lines flashing down the screen and the screen turning off. I'd have to lock and unlock to get the screen back on. Sent it to Samsung for repair and they sent it back about two weeks ago saying they couldn't find a problem. Well, the problem is definitely still there so today I took a video. Samsung said I would have to send it back in for more tests and that they would not watch the video. I'm afraid they're not going to find anything again so I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and could help.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 glitch: https:// youtu.be/ 7kOFewYbNzw
That's the video, remove the spaces

Does it still happen when you use power saver mode?
When the display goes blank, you press the power button twice, once to enter sleep mode, and again to wake it up, so it looks like a loose display connection or a faulty display, does the screen ever come back on without pressing the power button.
Does the brightness level effect how often the display goes blank?
John.

Thanks for getting back to me. It does still happen on power saving as it turned that on not long after I took the video. Screen brightness I'm not sure though because I packaged it back up to return or send for repair, whichever I decide is best to do.

This happend to me 2 times in the 6 months I have the tab s, seems more like a software thing for me.

All you can do is a factory reset, then install no apps (in case they cause the fault) and see if the problem is still there, if it is, all you can do if you are still in warranty is get an replacement or repair.
John.

I've got the tablet back out of the box while I wait for my repair packaging. I did a factory reset when I got in from work and restored a backup and straight away I had to the same problem. I've now done another reset but with out restore, I haven't even logged in to my Google account. So I'm thinking it's either an app I have installed, not that there were that many or some of the factory installed apps I disabled/removed. I don't think the restore from backup reinstalled apks such as remote play and show box so they can't have been the problem. Could deleting any of the factory apps cause any problems?

You can only delete factory apps when you are rooted, any you have delete without root will make no difference to your tablet stability, try and use the stock apps and see if the error shows.
John.

I've disabled a couple of them like New York times and the office suite one. It's working faultlessly at the minute. The problem is when it came back from Samsung it was working fine for about a week and then the problem returned so I can't be sure if I've solved anything or its just a ticking time bomb.

I don't know how Samsung tests the tablets, they will just send it back if they cannot find a fault, download a couple of benchmark apps, to stress your tablet and see if the fault shows up, see if increasing the brightness while benchmarking doe anything.

Just ran Geekbench 3 adjusting brightness from lowest to full and nothing, worked fine. I'm at a loss, I know that if I send it back to Samsung they're not going to find anything and spoke to Very today, they won't refund me without Samsung authorising it.

Is that Very UK, if so they send phones and tablets for repair, if they cannot repair your phone/tablet in 30 days they give you a refund unless as you said the manufacture says to refund.
Hopefully your problem will not show again, but it could have been an downloaded app, or an update to an stock app that causes the problem only time will tell.
I suppose you are on lollipop, I decided to stay on Kitkat as it`s super stable for me.

Yeh it is, but I bought it a couple of months ago. And they've have to find the fault first.

Hello i have similiar kind of problem i mean it shows stripes and boom reboot or sometimes screen goes black.I wonder if you found any solution?

Have you done a factory data reset from the settings menu, you will loose all internal user information so backup first.
If you have done an reset and still have the problem and you are on the stock rom and have not flashed an rom and have not rooted then you have an hardware fault.

Yss i did it 2 times didnt worked.Weird thing is when i open powersave mod its not happening maybe i should use powersave mod always meh

If you are out of warranty check the battery as it sound like an bad connection or a bad battery, there are guides on youtube on how to get the cover off the tablet, you can buy a kit from the link below for $65 or cheaper on ebay for the battery and pry tool.

Screen keeps shutting off randomly

Hey there,
I need help! I'm traveling and my screen earlier today started randomly shutting off on me. Then, even when I double tap it, the screen won't turn on. The buttons on the bottom will still work, so I can't tell if this is a software issue or if the LCD screen is failing. The screen will occasionally turn on when I pull the battery and start it up, but it doesn't stay on for long.
I recently flashed the Azadi Marshmallow stock ROM...could the be an issue. I'm afraid to do any flashing while I'm on the road since I think I can atleast turn on the mobile hot spot feature when the screen does decide to actually work.
Should I flash to the stock software?? I was going to use this step by step: http://www.androidexplained.com/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-revert-back-stock/ , but I'm afraid to flash since I may not be able to screen if it is indeed a hardware issue and not a messed up software file or something...help!
Thanks

Seems like a battery issue to me. I had a similar issue, G3 randomly started rebooting and powering off. I changed the battery and it works fine now

I've tried the 3 different batteries I've got and its the same problem. The screen is flickering and only stays on for a little bit...something is up with the video processor or something related to it. Esp with the SIM card failing...it's bizarre.

It's the motherboard, is a common issue in the g3. look for screen fade issue.
I fixed mine baking it. It has 20 days working fine.

Taking the phone apart, setting the oven to 325F and bake the motherboard for 9 minutes. Wait 30 minutes at least before moving it.
Mine has like 20 days working fine after that.
sorry my poor english

It worked like a charm. Baked it at 200°C for 7 minutes, then let it cool down inside the oven for 35 minutes. It's been 13+ hours and no issues whatsoever. Give it a try!

Half the Screen Freezes

Last night I got a weird problem, half of the screen stops. Hard to explain but made a video.
Rebooting doesn't help, even the razer boot screen does it too during boot up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. I had trouble finding the page cos half the screen had frozen again.
Looks like I might be in luck as I went into 3 store and they will exchange it tomorrow when they get more in stock.
Is there anything that triggers this issue or is it just random?

Not really sure. Someone said that if you press on each end of the screen it fixes it for a couple seconds or triggers it. seems to be a hardware defect.

Yeah, just get it swapped out.

If you do a system wipe, and still have the issue, you'll either have to get it serviced or replaced... or strap a vibrator to it.

It's probably a hardware issue if you did a factory data reset and it still vibrates constantly after your done.. If you made any changes or settings adjustments then try putting them back to defaults, or uninstall anything you may have installed recently (maybe a rogue app).
You can try going to safe mode and seeing if it still vibrates all the time.
IMHO the simplest approach (if possible) is if you can get it replaced by Amazon I would just do that and not try to delve to much more into it.

Happened to me shortly after purchasing. Had to get phone replaced. Actually happened to quite a few people.

Yeah Samsung won't touch my international phone. Ubreakit said they'd fix mine, and for cheap. But fortunately for me, the seller was kind enough to replace the phone. And it stopped working after ten days of opening. Very irritating when something so simple, yet important and expected to work without issues can cause such a hassle.
