Hello, I have an a5y17lte with latest official LineageOS 18.1 build which yesterday started exhibiting an issue with the screen where when waking it up the screen stays black. I was able to fix it by force powering it off, but soon it happened a couple more times, one time the screen not turning on after the 1st force reboot and thus requiring multiple force power offs to start working again. Later on during that day there were no issues with the screen, but since this morning this happens constantly and regularly and it always takes more than one force reboot to fix it. I have tried reflashing the system image, which worked for a bit before it started doing the same thing once again. Does anyone have a clue what could possibly be causing this?

After replacing old screen at official service my One X started to work badly, at first it were constant messages about system process crashes, then a boot loop occured. I tried to erase cache, but it take no effect. I've made factory reset and all started to work normally, but after 2 days I spotted that my screen doesn't respond. I can switch it on/off, control volume, but buttons or screen don't work at all. Reboot sometimes fixes this issue, but more often a boot loop occures. Again. I have no customize at all, everything is default and phone is unrooted. Need some advice how to fix it.
service center again

I have a similar issue. My phone started rebooting, getting to the point where it displayed the HTC logo, and then starting over again. Later, I got it to boot normally, but the touch screen won't respond to touch anymore.
I should note that the troubles first started after I found my phone lying in a puddle of water.
Good thing this happened now, so that I at least have a proper excuse to spend way too much money on the new X+.
Hi everybody,
Is anybody else having the issue that the screen starts blinking (turning off and on) when you turned the screen off and later back on again?
At the moment I can use my phone only right after rebooting, after that the screen will keep going on and off till I reboot.
I have experienced this a couple times so far. The screen just keeps waking up a few seconds after it turns off (either from timeout or manually turning it off) and it loops until I reboot.
Interestingly it also happened on my 6P once. It might be an Android 7 issue or a rogue app? I think it happened to my 6P before I got the 7.1 beta OTA.
Kicking this one up cause I get the feeling I bought a broken phone.
I also checked and when I do a factory reset the screen flashing also happens during the setup wizard.
Hello everyone, I just recently got a G3 and it was working fine for the 1st 2 days, no issues. I was sending a text to a friend earlier today and after it sent, it completely froze. After doing a soft reset it took forever to boot up. Once it booted up, it seemed to be fine. about an hour of operation, the screen looked as if it was freezing because it wasn't recognizing any of my touches. i decide to flip the phone sideways to see if it was actually frozen but it changed to landscape just fine. Sometimes it comes back to life then goes off again shortly after, and other times, i have to soft reset. I've tried the following to no avail.
Took the phone apart and cleaned both connectors.
Re-flashing the rom.
Trying 4 other roms.
Returned to lollipop stock.
I can't figure this out for the life to me and worked my ass of to be able to buy this phone. Any help would be appreciated as I can't afford to spend any more money on it!
I also have this issue, it's been ongoing for a few weeks. There will be short periods where it can work just fine, then it just freezes up and does not register any inputs. The content on the screen continues to run as if nothing happened (videos and games keep playing). Turning the screen off, waiting a couple minutes, then turning it on can sometimes give me another minute of use until it freezes up again. Also of note, when the screen is unresponsive and I press the power, it will dim to very low levels for a few seconds before going fully black. When the screen is being responsive and I press the power, it goes straight to black, as is normal and expected. From my testing, I've concluded:
1. This issue is not app dependent. It can occur at any time, and is not caused by alarms or overlays, such as blue light filters.
2. The issue is not from the specific battery I use. I've switched out between multiple batteries and used different chargers, none seem to affect the frequency of freezes.
3. Temperature may have something to do with this. When waking the phone after it's been sitting out in the cold, there seems to be a higher likelihood that it will be unresponsive. This is not always the case, which makes concluding that the issue is hardware related difficult, but some correlation seems to exist.
4. This issue started occurring shortly before I began having the popular "SIM Card Removed" issue, which I've yet to resolve (though can sometimes get the SIM card to work)
I am running stock 6.0 D85030p AT&T. I will post here again if I figure something out, but I have been trying for weeks without much success.
Hello everyon everyone.
I have the SM-P600 version, everything was good until the beginning of the week when touchpad began to go off without reason, and completely random.
I first reinstalled several official ROMs from the most recent to the oldest, with no significant improvement
Then i rooted and tried Lineage, it looked good for a while, but in the end same problem.
Please note, when the tablet begins to mess, the reboots are occuring more and more often and after a while it turns in a loop and im not even able to switch it off.
Samsung logo display, black screen, logo, black screen, etc ...
I think rather for a battery-side problem, if some people have faced similar problem, I'm taking help.
Do you know if by chance we can use the tablet without battery to test this theory?
Thank you in advance for any answers.

I think I'd be taking a close look at the physical power button. Seems to me that if it had gone flakey it could cause something like this.

Hello and thanks for you answer,
Just to precise i never faced this issue while flashing an official or custom ROM, dont know if it is just luck or it can help in anything
Anyway ill try to check it the power button just in case
It's weird I just started having this exact problem myself. One morning I unplugged it and it had shut itself down overnight. Since then it randomly reboots. Sometimes I can get 20/30 minutes out of it, but once it starts, it can get into multiple reboots with the only way to stop it is to plug in the charger. I tried wiping cashe/dalvic (no help). Nothing was recently changed (including apps). Tried resoldering battery connector (battery was replaced a year or so ago with OEM Sammy). The P600 is rooted with TWRP installed, but no custom ROM. Usually the reboots start while I'm doing something (surfing, email, etc.), but I don't think it will do it while sleeping. I'm considering the power button, but I don't see this exact problem anywhere else, but this post. Any ideas?
OK. My tablet has taken a turn for the worse. Now it is stuck in a continuous boot loop. I tried the power switch, no help. I tried booting into TWRP, and it went back into rebooting before I could do anything. Strange thing is I can put it into download mode indefinitely without it rebooting. Should I ODIN back to stock? I tried the resoldering of the battery connection earlier. Any other ideas?
I sideloaded the July patch 2 days ago and now out of the blue, my screen has decided to start flickering if I manually press the power button to lock the phone. I turned on AOD when the June patch came out because of the horrible lag that was introduced but now I've gotten used to the AOD and don't really want to turn it off now. When I tested it by turning off the AOD, the flicker doesn't occur. Did Google just revert back to pre-June patch with that setting? I thought they said they found a solution that both takes care of the lag and the flicker? Furthermore, why was it working fine for 2 days and now just randomly decided to start flickering?? I have also noticed that I am getting a little higher battery drain. It may be time for a wipe to see if that clears these items up but other feedback and experiences are appreciated to determine if I'm the only one or if it's wide spread.
Side note: I turned off AOD and then forced a restart by holding the power button for 10-12 seconds. Once the phone came back on, I turned AOD back on and it hasn't had the issue but for how long will this last, I don't know.
Well that lasted about 30 minutes and the flicker came back. I may try a wipe soon to see what happens but I'd hate to do it for nothing.
I've experienced this multiple times, doesn't matter what update I was on, but it went away after some time. Haven't experienced it in some time.
Never knew what the cause was or what the fix was either. p:
This used to be a major issue and it disappeared for most with the first beta. Weird that you're suddenly experiencing it. Google were/are aware.
It seems to be coming and going with AOD on. I haven't done a wipe yet but if it keeps coming back over the next day or 2, I will.
