this is linked to my other thread but that was initially for another, connected, issue.
at first i simply noticed that the press in the sms text box didnt bring up the keyboard when in portrait mode (pressing at bottom of screen). i put this down to using kh3 and tried factory resetting which didnt help.
i then noticed that pressing and holding a widget didnt register the actio all the time and sometime dropped the widget. when i dragged it down to the trash it didnt go red straight away and i needed to wiggle my finger to get it to register. also button presses on things such as 'next' buttons etc didnt work most times.
it seems that for some reason my screen is failing/failed at the bottom at least with also some problems in other areas of the screen.
if anyone can think of a solution i would be grateful considering the phone is approx 4 months old.
if not i will need to get it prepped for a return to vodafone which i presume means flashing back to whatever firmware is best (not sure which) and do i have to reset something or other??
EDIT... i have been directed to the touch test and this is showing a large band that doesnt register presses.. oddly the white squares 2nd from the bottom and parts of the squares above and below dont register presses but DO regsiter if i press and hold then go across them.

Ok I did a quick search on the forum and I couldn't seem to find if anybody else had this problem.
I recently purchased a used HTC Qtek 8500 from eXpansys / Mobileplanet.
The only problem I have with the phone is that the external screen is white and won't change to anything else no matter what settings I make the change too. Obviously the screen is getting power to it but I don't have any other display other then just a white screen. See attached picture
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try a hard reset
push and release the power button, then quickly push and hold the left and right soft keys ( the buttons over the green and red buttons) when instructed press "0".
may or may not work, but worth a shot.
you may even consider opening the phone and reseating the connector of the display.. this happened a week ago to my keypad.. when it was not working.. and then after trying alot.. i noticed that when i pressed 4 hard i use to get the light.. just opened 2 screw's and removed the cable and put it back.. as good as new
Tried a hard reset as suggested.
Even tried flashing another ROM.
No difference still has the External White Screen. Anybody else have any ideas?
Bad news .... mine has the same behaviour and warranty service told me that was the lcd broken... so no warranty repair.
...although my phone has not even a little sign!!!!!
Will try to open it with the help of this guide when the phone come back from repair center.
I'll let you know
Hi there I have a problem doing the hard reset with a brand new device.
My wife just bought the Samsung GT-I5500 and I was installing ADW on it as the stock launcher is not that good as ADW.
Now my problem is that ADW stopped unexpended and now it wont let my in the home screen and so I cant reach settings to Uninstall ADW.
So I was planning to do a simple hard reset (I though) But it just don't work.
I get to the screen with the yellow triangle ( volume down +menu button + power button) so my pc was automatic installing some Samsung drivers and ask me to restart my pc(and so i did) but nothing happened.
Anny of you have a solution for this problem???

I know and I try d it 10 times but it just did not work for me.
The only solution that worked for me was to dial the *2767*38655# number and it auto restarted en came back to stock.
Im having trouble hard resetting as well!
Except I cannot access past the lockscreen because a friend forgot the password..
The key combination doesnt work, is there any other way?
Factory reset, if it works

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:

...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

Since 27/3/18 (2 days ago) I think some virus has infected my phone. My phone is not rooted.
Every time I lock the phone it comes up with, per exempleur, the attached:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. Also things like the (see the left-hand side) are popping up all the time. I am going out of my mind!!
I've tried all advice I can see online. I've installed Anti-Adware; Zemana Anti-Virus; MalwareBytes; CCleaner. I've deleted one or two questionable apps (not that they were added in the last two days or anything...). I've also followed the various guides about turning off ad-personalisations and opting out of ads etc through Google settings etc, though they keeps coming up.
What can I do save for factory resetting the entire device? How did this happen?
Interestingly, don't know if it's relevant, though a couple of nights ago (immediately before all this started) I was woken up at 2am by my phone making a horrendous noise. I couldn't turn the noise off I couldn't turn the phone on or off. I had to hold the three buttons and do a hard reboot. It felt like some kind of thing had taken over and I had no control of it. Now it's the same in a way... I think they might be linked.
HELP!!
Back up your data , do factory reset , unistall all app what you don't need if the problem is still there , then the problem is in your firmware .

I have an old Note 5 lying around with a cracked screen. Not worth using except as a backup, not worth selling. I had a great idea: use it as a webcam!
I downloaded droidcam, used it a few times, forgot all about it. Until yesterday.
I turned on the phone and the screen was as in the attachment. I used Android Control to mirror the screen to my PC (effortlessly) and make sure the phone was actually working. I figured that the last time I used the phone, I had actually left the phone connected to droidcam for a long time (forgot about it) and it may have done something to the display driver or some such. No biggie, I'll just reflash, maybe it'll solve the problem, maybe not.
After some struggle, got the phone into download mode and used Odin to attempt to flash 3 different firmwares, all for my SM-920 XSG (UAE firmware). The first time it made it all the way to the end when it failed to write. The other two fail early on. I even attempted to flash a PIT, which worked and then everything failed after just as fast as before the PIT flashing.
So, anyone have any idea what's wrong with the phone's screen? It was working before and literally had been left alone on a table undisturbed. Also, it would be nice to unbrick the phone, so that I can donate it (as a working phone sans screen) or at least try to sell it online to someone who would fix the screen (or a local shop).
You don't tell me nevermind
