i used lcd density to decrease my density from 120 to 100
i didnt like it so i changed back to 120 but then many of my apps and games gui got messy and i couldnt understand anything.
some were like liquid splattered on my screen and some were too zoomed in
do you know a way to get back to normal?
thnx
restore an earlier backup
i couldnt as i was a noob before.
i had factory reset my phone n it got to normal....
im gonna try agn so thnx for the advice but im scared abt rooting my phone coz i had once n soft bricked it due to zooming too much in lcd density
luckily the samsung guys had chaged the motherboard to get it back to normal.
thnx anywayz

Lol even I had once increased lcd density to 240.
One icon filled up the whole screen..
You just need to push in the the orignal build.prop file.

i dont think you need to pull battery off. i think!
Good Morning.
I happened to notice that my display suddenly lost some brightness while reading an ebook yesterday. On max values it isnt bright enough to be readable outdoors anymore (Auto brightness off)
I tried a complete wipe and 3 different roms, but it stays the same. Does anyone of you fine folks got some advice on how to lock down the problem and solve it?
Thanks in advance

have you tried removing the battery?? because i had that issue when i upgraded the first time to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3 and i downgraded to gingerbread but that didn't resolve the problem til i remove the battery. and magically the problem disappeared.. now i am on stock 4.0.4 via OTA and my phone is perfect..
hope that you'll fix it

oh i haven't seen that.. u r right but i think that we didn't have to change the rom.. we have just to pull out the battery.. that was a real waste of time especially when we have to backup and restore data

Hello guys...strange things are going on in my phone from last 2 months..at first it used to react as if the back softkey is prseed..it used to bring me back to home screen through all screens i passed to open a app (like setting->wireless and..->internet seting..->apn..)and reversly it sent me back to home without letting me to change any data.....then it used to act as if the option/search soft key is pressed..like if the home screen is not altered for 5 sec..the google search option opens...many times pressing home key took a screen shot...and my touch screen started to be unresponsive...firstly i could use my for but sometimes the screen remained unresponsive which could be fixed by pressing power button and locking the screen agin..then it used to response...now a days the phone hardly responces 2-5 times a day and accepts only one selection(like i may open app drawer but cant se;ect any app its frozen or open the phone app but no number could be pressed..its frozen)
i have flashed almost every rom but none fix the problem...recovery mode key test does not detect my 2 soft keys..
...samsung care is verry laggy here ..and irresponsible..last time they took my samsung j 150 and returned it after 3 months with a new defect of speaker blown and a huge billl..
plz help me... thank you
On my device, if I put the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my thigh, i tend to sweat a bit in long pants and thus the phone gets some sweat on the screen. After wiping it off, the phone would not be very responsive. I would pull everything out and leave for a while, I assume water had gone in, then it worked. So is something similar happening?

First of all..THANKS for your reply..yes..u r very right..even in early days(near abt 3 months..when problem started) the phone used to be more unresponsive after taking it out of my pocket..but pulling off didnt fix anything..a funny fact (may be logical due to drynesss) is keeping the phone in a.c room makes it work for a while(not the soft keys..every thing else)..so your guess is right..but pulling out all didnt help me..

Then your problem may not be the same. Maybe a hairdryer will do. If it still doesn't work then maybe it's your touch panel. My phone works perfectly at home

Me too think that its not the touch sceen..but something due to the softkeys...i have been observing my phone from the first day of fault...but may be the touch panel is faulty...not sure..any way thanx for your active responce...
I think you should clean up your phone and then cover the gaps between the glass and the chrome colored plastic design.
Try it?

This can happen also due to bad flash or kernel malfunction...due to wifi panic
Try flashing zero fill tar and flash fresh rom.

Deep sleep kernel panic makes the phone unresponsive when exposed to some heat and moisture... generally a clean flash would solve the problem...
zero fill is a tar file that helps clean the system by removing all the previous system data..just flash any rom after flashing zero fill.tar normally.
also you have to take care that screen stays out of sweat(moisture)

sorry,tried your advice...but no luck...thanx anyway....(i dunno why the touch buttons not working???i am sure they are the culprits..)
Unconventional, but if you wanna check the softkeys you could open up the phone (it's really easy if you use a guitar pick) and disconnect the buttons. Phone should still boot. If the behaviour is better, you could swap the softkeys for a replacement and problem solved. I take no responsibility for this. I myself have changed some electrical parts including the display, but I cannot say for sure that the phone boots without the softkeys connected without taking permanent damage. But you sound like it can only get better^^

Hello guys , i got big problem. When i setted up inspiration rom after elegancia using , after 6 hours of phone using , my display just dont work(dead). When phone is booting it dont show htc screen , nothing. I need brick my phone till end because of warranty in my country. If they will see that i got rooted , custom rom , hboot etc. theyll say that is my fault. Is there option how i can mess it up till i cant turn it on , or plug to pc.
I did it with my lg p500 when i flashed .kdz file i just unpluged phone , and it was dead , without sign marks. Is there this kind of brick for senny?
Hope for sughestions , and sorry for my language knowladge
Faithfully , Berils.
anyone guys ? I need suggestions till tomorow. someone ?
You could probably fix it yourself
try following these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
And also don't try and break it any further because once HTC have plugged it in and got it running they will diagnose it, and that will say that your phone is rooted.
The only way to make the phone fully unoperational is to burn out the motherboard.

just send it in rooted, its a hardware problem, if they say ur warranty is void, just kick up a fuss...
in the past some warranty repairs have been honoured by HTC despite phone being rooted - if it is clearly a hardware failure.
i can think of ways to mess up the device without leaving a trace (easy), but its probably best not to give suggestions here.
i cant find this kind of problem at google... noone got dead screen , but working touchscreen , and buttons. very strange. if some1 got suggestion ,pleae guys share it.
ty for all help.
I had the same problem today. Had it once before in march. Happened on elegancia first and now today on inspiration.. it is obviously a hardware problem.
The color on the screen gets weird. Touch works perfect. Then screen goes black. The touch still works. Display comes back after 2 or 3 hours. Haven't gotten time to get it checked.

Hi xda ,
my galaxy r is dead since two weeks and i really need help
ill provide info bout the cell
it was rooted and on stock ics indian
it started turning off after few seconds on starting, i went to svc, they said its battery problem so i tested with new battery, the same problem, so i returned the battery
then i again gave my phone to svc and they said theyll put a boot on it for rs 1500 but still same problem
i thought it is bricked so i followed the galaxy r unbrick tut, it worked fine till installing drivers, then in download mode, phone again turned off in few seconds, odin didnt recognise it, and it went totally dead, no turning on till samsung logo like it could do earlier
i wasnt convinced so i gave it to other svc, they tried a power ic and said phone started but then next day they demand rs 6500 for new motherboard,
phone has no os now, and doesnt start, so i cant flash stock fw and pit files
idk what to do
d nly problem i see to ur device is random shutdown..
i had d same prob.. even in download mode d fone used to shutdown...
so nly soln is motherboard replacement..
if d fone is in warranty period, get it done asap else u need to shell out as much as 7k to repair d device...

The track of Power IC in ur Galaxy R motherboard seems to be broken.
I think only trick is to check every track of IC & place the jumper.
NOTE : ONLY MOBILE EXPERTS CAN DO THIS!

Probably the problem is in cpu/gpu chip and its loosing contact with mb while heating. You can heat the motherboard in electric or gas stove for 6 minutes at 200-220 degree by Celsius. It could help but 50/50. At the end if you're phone is working before svc and after svc its completely not responding its not good at all, then it's should be repaired for free. If they do something that i described and something goes wrong, probably you never repair you're mb.

thank you guys, you've really helped me tho i couldn't get my phone to work, it was gonna cost lots and still it'd be giving same problems it did earlier, battery problems and irresponsive touch, so i decided to sat goodbye to galaxy r
the retailer kept it for rs 2500, maybe he's gonna sell its LCD or stuff idk, anyways it was a nice one and half years , lol with 3 chargers and 4 batteries and many accessories which are worthless, hehe its a good phone tho
hope your sgr's stay with you for long :angel:
