Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.

Factory reset your phone.
Hope everything turns out alright.
Hi,
I have a lot of trouble with my wife's Galaxy Alpha phone.
Sometimes, it switch off alone.
Last time it was when charging, it starts to charge for 5 min, then switch off showing the logo during switch off, as if it was requested by software (not a battery problem).
Sometimes it restarts normaly as soon as I press the power button (boot normaly), but sometimes, it bootloops.
I found a workaround for it, having to press the power button until complete boot (asking pincode), then releasing the power button and entering the pincode, and it works normaly, for some days.
Seems pehaps an hardware issue ?
This starts a month ago, without any related causes.

First try to flash stock firmware with odin.
If this didn't help it's very possible to be a hardware problem.

In fact both.
It appears first time when I was using the original rom.
Then I flashed a new rom using odin.
It worked without any problems for a week, and reapered.

Yeah sorry, but I think it's a hardware problem... Try at a service, maybe it's something simple and costs less.

The shutdown seems to be related to Google Play. The phone shutdown when updating some applications through Google Play !
Is there a revert to stock google play application and force it to never update again ?
Seems that the latest version of google play have some troubles.

I didn't encountered this issue on my alpha, try a factory reset.
Battery issue, maybe....?
I have an old battery and the symptoms are similar. The efficiency is no longer the same and sometimes it turns itself off suddenly.
My other battery is newer and it doesn't happens.
These batteries are fragile and lose reliability quickly (most noticeable after a year, depending on usage).
Seems that I have fixed the problem. A hardware one.
After opening the phone... completely so that able to manipulate the motherboard I found that the small connector to the power button was not correctly fixed.
After a deep cleaning of all the contacts on the motherboard and fixing the connector I reassembled everything.
It is now working well for more than 3 days without any issues.

Glad to know that you fixed the phone.
Finally, after one week, dead again...
I think that the only solution for me is to replace the motherboard.
Changed the motherboard with a new one bought on AliExpress. Everything fine now.

Does the device still work?
Im experiencing same issues with a new battery installed, i have also tried cleaning the device connectors and after reading this, figuring i might actually do the same as you, buy a new mobo online.

I bought a new mobo, now it works perfectly fine, I actually bought two just in case I broke something while installing it, but first one is good to go, experiencing some drain issues tho with my old battery tho, so i have to recycle that. Any way, it all ended well and now I got another mobo incase this one breaks ^^

Greetings. My Samsung Galaxy Alpha is dead since 2016. Not charging, not turning on. If possible send me the exact AliExpress seller link. One more thing, is it possible to find the front facing camera of this device? When i give my device to a technician he lost the camera. The camera was 2.1 megapixel.

I got a new Elephone S8 about a week ago, and it's having a glitch that's happened 3 different times. The touch screen becomes unresponsive for around 20 minutes, and after restarting it will work again but it always says the battery is at 1% when it had a full charge before the issue happened. Has anybody else encountered this? I'm terrified that one time the touch screen won't come back. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, but some type of glitch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Elephone S8 touch screen stop working
I have the same problem, I even managed to put ERAGON ROM and again the same thing, the screen just stops working, I even think it has no rules when it will work, and when it does not.
Not here. It seems to me that some folks got units with flaky digitisers. If it were just firmware, I suspect everyone would have the issue.
To share experience with the problem, touch screen stops working!
I returned via Flash Tool to 01701018 release official and then> flash root> flash twrp. Then I installed "magisk manager 16" and for now the cellular phone works for 2 days, since it will not have a SIM card while testing the touch screen lock. I will let you know guys... :angel:
That's what I'm planning on doing today: returning my phone to original rom. Has it happened anymore since you downgraded?

If that's the case, I would need to replace the entire screen, correct? A new one is $50, and I only paid $175 for the new phone! I just don't know if that's worth it

In my case, even the SIM card has no connection to the effect of locking the touch screen of a cell phone, it is always the same problem. The screen simply does not work when it does not work. "It seems to me that some people get units with dirty digitizers?" I have no idea...
Hardware defects should be covered under the phone's warranty... And if it's soon enough after purchase, by the shop where you bought the phone.
Best of luck to you!
Hey everyone, so my wife has the Poco F1 and broke the screen after just 2 weeks. I bought a replacement screen and front housing from aliexpress and got it yesterday. I tried changing the screen last night and almost everything sent fine. Turn the phone on and the display works but does not recognize any touch input.
I re-open the phone and disconnect and re-connect the display flex cable a few times all with same result.
I'm thinking probably a bad screen replacement but just wanted to see if anyone have any suggestions

Why would you try and fix it yourself when you have the warranty with you? Xiaomi can fix your phone. Maybe there's service charge (new screen replacement, labour, new warranty I guess).

I live in South America. there are no service center in my country. Bought off amazon. not sure how warranty would work if at all it applied to my case.
Bought it off US amazon using a package forwarding service that had it shipped to a address in US when they receive it for me and then re-ship it to my country where i pickup from them.
Pretty sure warranty would be almost impossible to claim

Sorry to hear that.
Alright there must be something you forgot.
Watch JerryRigsEverything's video in teardown of Pocophone. There must be something you forgot to connect with.
I am 99% sure that you missed something. I will replace a Redmi Note 4 screen tomorrow (similar hard work I think).
I recommend to disassembe and re-assemble again before you report and ask for a full refund or a re-send.
You should record that all cable in place and screen not functional if it's still a problem after you remove and reassemble to use as eveidnce for full refund.
Of course in this case ask them to send a tested one before you report. They will I am sure.
thanks for the advice. I do intend to do a full disassembly and try again.
I hope it did forget something during assembly but it's just one flex cable and i disconnect and re-connect multiple times. I also did watch a screen repair guide on youtube before i started and i took pics of everything as i go.
In the end in was forced to re-install the old cracked screen as my wife needed the phone. with the cracked screen the touch works. so it's weird that i would forget something with the replacement screen but not when putting back on the old screen

Usually it is an issue with the drivers. The cheap Aliexpress screens have this issue on some phones.
By the way, which ROM are you using? Sometimes these screens work with stock ROM but not with custom ROMs. So you can also try a few versions of the stock ROM and see whether the issue resolves.
Mine kinda died yesterday, after resetting the phone I got stucked inside twrp, not recognizing any touches. Then I flashed fastboot rom, touch still doesn't work. Did you get yours fixed? How?

Hey mate. could you help me out with this?
I installed new screen. I bought it years ago, but only now i got to do it. Anyways. No touch Screen seems to work fine otherwise. You mentioned about installing new TWRP to fix it? I've downloaded Platform-tools, ADB drives, looking for Magisk now ... Is this the right TWRP file > me.twrp.twrpapp-26.apk or > twrp-3.3.0-0-beryllium.img this one? How it is done from PC?
Ok, so i got pattern unlock. Connecting my mouse via OTG works, BUT i can not enter this pattern. I just cant get the line started. (OTG with same mouse works well in Galaxy S10, doing pattern unlock).
Looks like i have my debugging on, but boot loader is locked and because i cant get into menu, so i can not accept connections or change anything. What are my options here guys??
ADB shows what my device is unauthorised, but i can copy files and **** in windows.
Update.
I've done factory reset, unlocked the phone (bootloader). USB debugging he whole lot. Flashed latest 3.3.0.0 twrp and it did not fixed the touch issue, but i found out what screen registers a lot of touches. Like i click on everything like crazy. Will try to take the screen off completely tomorrow. See if i can use new screen with old PCB (from old broken screen). I bet i am going to brake it and end up with ordering new screen
Update 2.
It is impossible to split LCD screen from its PCB. In the process of taking off new screen, even tho i've done it super careful and screen looks mint, it does not turn on (just stays black). Visually no damage. I wander if i could overheat it while removing. But it looks intact.
Ordered new screen. Will update you later.
Well, eventually got a new screen. Got one dead pixel in it. But it is all glued in right now. So i don't know if i bother to change. It doesn't bother me, cant really see it most of the time.
This is bugging me for such a long time now. I've had this problem for such a long time. The issue is that everytime the phone reaches 100% of charge, and leaving it for a while (maybe like 5 mins-ish?), The phone suddenly reboots (hard reboot not soft-reboot) and continues to charge but in the idling turned-off mode (only the battery logo is displaying).
Solutions I've tried but didn't or barely work:
Replacing the Battery itself
Switch to different Kernels
Switch to different ROMS (MIUI, AOSP, OOS etc.)
Full drain to 0% and charge to 100% while off
This leaving me confused af and irritated because everytime I want to charge my phone overnight or I just want to leave my phone charged all the time to minimize the battery degradation, the phone reboots completely out of the blue, letting me miss the notifications that I haven't read yet. I need help on this please.

Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. The issue still persists
you need to take the device to the service I guess this is not a software problem
Probably an issue with the board already, either due to a fall or maybe the device you bought may have just have been defective. I would have suggested that you brought it to a service center (since you said you had the issue for a longtime then maybe you could have had it serviced while it still had warranty)

Oh I forgot to mention, yes it may have been a long time issue, but it just started to happen right around 3 months after I bought it. I bought my phone brand new last year, and it didn't have the issue I'm facing now. Sadly, the warranty doesn't cover the battery issue, since I just bought it form a random retail store (not Xiaomi)

Sorry to hear that. Well, it would be best to have it checked by a repairman by this point since based on all the info you've provided you've tried all the troubleshooting steps software wise, so it may be the board by this point. Or if that random store offered you a repair warranty (most rando stalls in my country has that, not sure about yours) then you may swing by there
what about charger?
seems like the only thing that you didnt check

Well if it's a hardware issue from the board itself, maybe I'll just pass for now. The repair warranty though doesn't really cover some major problems like motherboard and battery, it actually needs to paid so ig it's a no for me. I'll just replace it myself over time if the board breaks itself.

I had no issues on charger either. I used a different Xiaomi charger from another phone, and the battery issue is still there. I even opted in using a samsung charger with usb-c, and still the problem persists.
