I just had to send my phone in for a broken screen. I am posting this as I didn't do anything other than flash new rom. I woke sat and my screen was dead, no dropping or anything. I tried rebooting and heard everything come on but no screen activity. I am asking as I read of others having problems with build 1008 and I was wondering if this is common with this build. Thank you for any assistance.

Hello all.
I have an sensation. 5 months ago it fell. Screen was cracked. Some shop repaired it for me back then. Since then I have been getting more and more touchscreen issues. Sometimes it doesn't even respond at all. What I will have to do then is put screen on sleep again and activate it again. I have been trying different ROMs and kernels so I have a feeling it isn't the software.
Yesterday I went back to the shop and he blamed it on the different ROM. So I'm now installing my old 2.3.3 backup. He said that with 2.3.3 my screen would work again. However, I don't believe him. I think he just messed up my digitizer.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this issue?
UPDATE #1:
Installing my old backup didnt even work. It hung on the white startup screen.
Please someone help me!
me too. having screen problems after changing digitizer.
changing the digitizer on this device is a major catastrophe...
Can anybody help me. For whatever reason when my phone is charging randomly when i pull it off the charger the screen wont come on. The backlight comes on. the hardware keys light up. but no ones home. i have to do a battery pull to fix it. It has happened thru blackout, codefire, and jellytime so I dont know that it is a rom issue. But im not overclocked. Im havent changed the governor, just running straight up jellytime 29 right now. Please anyhelp would be appreciated. this happens more often than not.

Hey, I am sorry to say that my DHD suffers from the same bug. I've exhausted every angle I can think of to try and fix it but have no solution yet.
If your problem is the same as mine then you should notice the problem stops when you leave wifi turned off altogether - not an ideal situation but one I have been working around using an unlimited data plan.
Was going to return it to HTC for mending (24 month warranty) but then remembered that I changed the receiver myself and there's a mark inside the casing which is a dead giveaway.
Could you post a logcat? I'll get one from mine too and see if a real dev can see a fix.
Here is an old thread I started when this happened to me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734707
Sure. How do you do a logcat. Actually I can probably find it on here. Once I figure it out Ill post. .
Hello everyone!
I have been visiting the site for a long time but this is the first time I actually post.
Well the problem I have with my nexus is that the screen stopped working a few days ago, but the touchscreen is still responding. I was walking at the beach with the phone in my pocket and after some time I realized the phone was not working. I suppose it was the humidity because the phone was completely dry.
Now the weird thing is that the touchscreen works perfectly, I can feel it when I unblock the phone, but the screen is completely black. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? I already changed the screen of my old nexus 4 a few times, but is there any other option? because I do not want to pay for the whole screen replacement when the touchscreen is working. I would say that it is just some contacts not working properly, but I do not really know how to fix that.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
Thank you!
Maybe this thread will point in the right direction. Mentioned is flashing stock recovery.

Thanks for the reply! I tried that but it did not work and after the battery run out I realized it was not charging either. So I think the only thing left is to send it to repair to LG or something...
Hey guys. My wife's s6 just did something really weird and I have no idea how to fix it. Her screen seems to be glitched or messed up. I don't know how to describe it. When ever I turn the phone on the screen turns on for 2 secs but all the words and images are all over the screen and then the scree shuts off but the applications are still usable. I tried doing a restart but didn't work and I then tried upgrading it but also didn't work. I tried to kinda mess with the brightness but still nothing. We just got this phone like 3 weeks ago and it was working fine up to 20 mins ago. She hasn't dropped it or done any water damage. Can anyone please help me to see what is going on with this phone.
I cant provide photos because i am new user. If anyone know how i can get around this without posting 10 times let me know so i can show you the screen of my wifes phone. I posted a similar help post on android central with pictures if you need to see the screen.
You can try a full reset 1st. If it still persists then its most likely a factory defect. Return your S6 back to Samsung for warranty replacement.

Hi, Please try the following,
1. Open the dialer and hit *#0*#
2. There will be different color options like red/green/blue. select each one by one and check whether the issue comes up somehow.
3. Then try using the phone in safe mode/factory reset.
If the issue still persists, then it is likely to be a hardware issue and please get it checked with samsung as soon as possible. :good:
I've been experiecing an issue like no other I can find online and I'd love to hear some opinions.
So, originally the problem was the phone's screen was going black straight after the Google logo, I had a hunch that it was a fault with just the screen as it was pretty badly smashed and seemed the phone was running in the background and you could get the backlight to come on. Then all of a sudden it would stop doing it and then start again intermittently.
I flashed to 6.0 to see if might be some random ROM error, but still exact same problems. Screen came back and then went again. So I grabbed a new screen and swapped out the part. Now at least I don't have a smashed screen and faulty digitizer.
Now the problem appears to be slightly worse. The phone gets to the Google logo again now but now it completely shuts down after it, but it still gets to fastboot! (Is fastboot stored on another chip than FW? If so that worries me.)
Any suggestions on getting some more info by troubleshooting would be golden. I've got some basic to intermediate experience with phone repairs, computing and electronics etc. so no need to simplify explanations too much.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried re-flashing a stock ROM and then performing a factory wipe?
