Out of the blue, for NO apparant reason, my display screen is suddenly full of "snow". The phone itself is working properly because I have the HDMI out cable and I can see everything working properly when I use my TV as an external display. While using the HDMI/external display, the touch-responsiveness is normal.
I did do one hard/factory reset, that did't fix anything. I get a similar screen when the phone is in the OFF position and charging (when you should normally just see the picture of a green charging battery icon.
I know this looks like the symptom of an impact or some other physical damage, but I take SUPER good care of all of my devices and there is no way that I caused any damage to it. Earlier today, I was using the phone and all was well then I put the phone in my pocket. About 3 mintues later, I pull it out of my pocket and this is what I see!
Has anyone seen anything like this? I bought this phone about 6 months ago from expansys-usa, so I assume it's under warranty, but if there's ANYTHING I can do here myself, I'd rather take care of it here.
I'm a fairly advanced ROM flasher and am pretty comfortable taking phones apart and getting them back together, but I don't want to open this one up if it will void my warranty with expansys/Samsung.
I welcome help/advice/thoughts.

Best thing for you to do if you've got warranty is flash a stock from specific to your product code like you got it. delete everything on your SD card related to Modding and get a replacement for your warranty. Looks like hardware problems

hi
Somehow the battery of my mini pro found its way into the washing machine and made a complete wash cycle in there
Is it save to put it in my phone to check if its still working or can it damage my phone?
The battery looks fine on the outside and i noticed there is nowhere a image on it that says "dont put in water"

first thing is make sure your battery have really dry yet
then if you dare, try it to your phone
as far as i know, some electronic things is safe to be washed
but before use it, make sure it really have dry yet (like motherboard computer, its safe if you washed it, of course it have been plugged out from the case then use it when it dry)
sorry for my bad english
Best thing to do is get a new battery.
I for one wouldn't risk putting a 20 euro battery in my 250 euro phone.
Admit defeat and get a new battery, or you might have to suffer the consequences of screwing up a phone. If a single droplet is between the wrapping, it will turn into "steam" when it gets hot, and your phone might suffer damage due to the water that will eventually build up.
After over 3 weeks of drying i just risked it and its working fine. The phone even report the battery as "good"
use rice to dry the phone or battery.
The problem with my S2 is that when the phone gets cold the screen starts flickering then the screen it's all "blueish" and the text becomes unreadable like the resolution is very low. It started doing this thing rarely and now it appears frequently. I am not able to post the video link here because I am a new user.Please search "Galaxy S2 Screen problem". I will post a picture also (sorry for the bad quality).
These are the picutres, first one at full brightness and the second at the lowest brightness.

Hardware issue.
If the phone is under warrenty, return it and insist to get a new one. If possible, reproduce this issue at the store/service center.
If the warrenty is over, use nuke scripts (both ROM and kernel scripts), reflash the device to perfectly stock condition and see if there's an improvement. I, personally, doubt it but it's worth a shot. If still the problem persists, take it to repair.

It's the same as I og into recolvery, so the ROM/kernel is not the problem, I don't heve waranty because I had dropped the phone and smashed the screen 6 months ago, do you think that the GPU can cause this problem?
So....you replaced the screen...?
Sent from the little guy
Yes, I did replaced the screen with a genuine one at a service. The problem started 3 weeks ago.
Hi Guys
So, I had/have this very little insignificant problem (compared to what I have now) about my Amaze not connecting to my PC properly
So, I decided, since I have had some experience in disassambling "things", I thought I'd take a look inside and see if my USB port in the phone wasnt broken, fortunately it wasn't...
However I didnt think of testing another cable(very, very stupid of me), so I concluded that it was my cable ( i found that out by testing another cable only AFTER I had disassembled it)
But thats only where my troubles started, since I have had some experience on taking things apart I figured it wasnt a biggy but when I put everything together again:
Imagine this filling up the whole Screen (without the mouse cursor of course)

However, the device booted u fine, I could adjust the volume and actually hear the volume been adjusted, etc.
But the screen showed those pixels(I do not know what you call it when that happens, screen pixelating???)
The only thing I could think of is,
Where the black dot is, I thought it was a clamp so I (by accident of course) broke a piece of plastic off revealing metal wires, but the area of the proken off pice is no larger thean the middle of a pin head
I tried various ways, trying to figure out what caused this but I have no idea
btw. I also updated my 4Ext recovery to 1.x..x rc9 (latest release and did no restart after)
I am not sure what happened but ill probably pull an all nighter, trying to fix it (in some or other way)
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
p.s., please dont tell me Im an idiot for doing that, I know I am...it cost me $260...!
Hello. I have a Moto G4 Plus, still under warranty.
One evening, I go out with some friends, my phone is working normally.
In a bar I pull out my phone and try to look for an image on google, the phone starts to display some odd behaviour (the show all open apps screen kind of half fills the display with the browser filling the other half). I figure I'll forget about it and check later, I press power and put my phone in my pocket.
I wake up the next morning to a phone that won't boot, and this screen:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I try to put it into recovery mode, I get this screen:
Now I know that it says software status is 'Modified', but I swear, I have never modified this or any phone I have owned. I literally went out with friends one night with a working phone and returned with it in this state. I have tried going through official channels (Amazon won't replace it as they say the guarantee is with the manufacturer), it was sent to Motorola for repair but they refuse to repair it unless I pay 130 Euros, because they state it has been modified. I refused to pay that, and weeks of arguing with them that I have done nothing wrong went nowhere, so the brick has been returned to me.
I am trying to fix it myself, but it's proving very frustrating. Windows can't see the phone, despite me having installed Motorola Device Manager (which does see the backup Moto G3 I'm currently using, so that program is working correctly).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I've replaced my pocophone's battery (well, a few months ago) and basically I couldn't turn it back one ever again (tried putting back the old battery but it acts the same).
Video of what it is showing while plugged in: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZhQD1Yxk5NcEwjJe7
(it shows the same screen when trying to turn it on, but for a bit longer)
Battery type:

1 thing I can think of not doing ok while replacing the battery was that I tried to take out the plastic shield covering the motherboard, while it still had 1 screw in (it was the screw covered by the mi sticker and I just didn't realise it was a screw there), didn't apply too much force though.
I want to mention that I didn't use any anti-static wrist band.
I'm not expecting to fix it (even though it would be nice to repurpose it rather than having it as a brick) but learn anything I should've done better or what might be the final cause of death.
Hi,
I have the exact same issue on my Poco F1 after replacing the battery.
And if I reinstall the old battery the "empty icon battery" is still there.
Did you manage to solve the issue?
thank you.

Hi, unfortunately I didn't. Today I tried dissassembling it again, replaced the "new" batery with the old one, but still the same issue.
After the massacre, I decided to go with the poco f2 pro xD
