[Q] Should I RMA /again/? (Backlight bleed, force closing) - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've hit a snag. I'm tired of the horrid performance with the stock ROM so I'm wanting to unlock, but I don't want to unlock until I'm fully satisfied with the tablet I have.
The main concern is that the light bleed on my tablet is rather distracting... I've included this image with both RMAs, both times I received the tablet back it's the same exact story.

I'm curious if this is normal bleed for the TF300 or if I should RMA it a third time. I understand that most if not all backlit panels will have some light bleeding, but the blob at the top right corner is just insane. Is there something in the top right that is putting pressure on the screen causing this patch to be more apparent than others?
The other issue I'm having is when I'm updating from the Play Store, copying files from computer, or anything else that messes with the memory I'll come to a state where my tablet is completely useless. Every program will hang and stop responding, wanting to close or have me wait. I've read many things about the I/O scheduler and I'm assuming this is what is causing that, another reason I'm wanting to unlock... but again, the backlight is bugging me to the point where I can barely tolerate it.
If this is normal bleed, I'll have to suck it up and deal with it then just unlock to hopefully solve my other problems, however... if not, I'd really like to get a tablet that I'm satisfied with before unlocking so I'm not stuck in the water without a warranty.

[Q] Dropped Xoom - now screen random displays like this

I recently dropped my Xoom (in a case onto a carpeted floor). It semeed to survive but now the display shows distorted colors like the sample attached. I thought it might be a loose connection but I can be working away and the screen will revert to normal and stay that way for days.
And I can suspend it while it's okay, come back to it and the display is corrupt again.
Can anybody work out what could be going on? I would prefer not to have to replace the screen but I don't really know if that is the issue if it reverts back to normal all the time.
Thanks

The screenshots look fine to me, how about upload the images of your LCD screen not screenshots.

Silly me. The screen shots look distorted to me also because I was posting on the device!
Yeah looks like a loose connector to me. You may be able to fix it if it was a soldering joint. I guess the repair can do the same thing.
I dropped my tablet recently and the screen got screwed like yours, but mine is worse. I don't know too much about hardware, but I think that it's the crystal that broke, so it may be hard to fix :/. Anyway, if you get it back working I hope you to share some info with me, as well I will do if I get working .

bottom part of the screen flickers

so i bought this 16gb nexus 5 D820 a little over 2 months ago and had no problems with it whatsoever until this noon, when i was just browsing the 'net as usual, my phone became warm, i thought it was normal since i checked cpu-z it said it was 45 degrees and normal, cool..i kept on browsing till it rebooted by itself twice, still no problem,cool. since it was running low on battery i charged it and upon finishing the screen looks like this now, apart from it, everything else still works though.

i thought it was software issue since i didn't crack the screen, nor did i drop it, i was on purity + hellscore then. i flashed google factory image, unroot it and locked the bootloader again making it look as if it was just taken out of the box, but to no avail, it still looks like this up until now
i guess the heat somehow broke the lcd's component,
has anyone ever experienced this before ? how on earth could this happen?
Just a random hardware failure... These things just happen out of the blue... I'm not sure but I don't think this flickering has anything to do with the device rebooting itself on getting hot..
RMA it asap...
Even I am facing the same issue since few days. I am yet yo find the solution to fix this. I do not want to replace the display just for this. I just hope this might not create any problems in future. Please let me know if u have found the solution to fix this issue

S8+ G955U gets stuck

Hi guys this is my very first topic. I have been using this phone for about 6 months and this problem started a few days ago and it's being annoying. Hopefully someone here would know what can I do.
The screen sometimes gets stuck just like freezing and doesn't respond to any kind of touch well the only touch working is if I hold the home button and it only vibrates. The way that it gets back to normal is to press the lock button and unlock the phone again, sometimes it takes a while to unlock it is like it's not responding, after a few attempts it gets back to normal... since yesterday this problem is more frequent so I am here hoping that some kind wisdom person could help me. And the other thing is that when it's stuck the screen change colours like multicolor it could be the entire screen or just part of it. Here some pictures of how it looks I don't know if it's firmware or hardware

You know, to me it sounds like there are an app, or a few that are not behaving when loaded, and clogging the CPU. As you can, take a look at the apps you are using, and see if you can whittle down the ones, and or uninstall some that may seem the culprit.
If you have a backup, perhaps restore to an earlier time when the phone was operating smoothly, and slowly . . . slowly over days or a few weeks, restore an app or two, and see where it becomes poorly functioning again.
Also, look in settings/Battery etc and see what apps are running when the unresponsiveness occurs again. Write those apps down, and as time goes for a few days/week, see what the common denominator apps show up.
Backups are a wonderful thing.

s10e screen ghost letters RGB

I got my S10e last month and noticed a weird problem/issue with it. The screen has ghost letters all over the screen that are only visible on a grayish screen. I use black wallpapers and keep brightness on the lower side so didn't notice it earlier. See pics to understand what I'm talking about. I used to have a S9+ before and didn't have this problem. I was wondering if this is something only on my device and I should get it replaced or is it on all/most devices out there. If you've a S10e or other variants can you please confirm if you have this issue.
Thanks
PS sorry for the weird link (remove spaces). xda cdn is not working and being a new user I can't add links

not common issue as far as I know - sounds like an issue with your device - try to get it replaced due to defect
Try to invert colors maybe to see if it fixes, probly wont but all I can think of

This is not even burn in by my use. I never had any wallpaper or anything with those letters, seems like an issue/burn-in from the factory. Will need to get it replaced
Get it repaired under warranty. If you're in the USA, the "uBreakiFix" stores are Samsung authorized repairers.
Or just get a new unit since it's so new.
Seems its new unit then better send for replacement.

I need help with ROM - MTK6580 - Android 7.0 Root - 1Gb/16Gb

Hello, I am new here and am absolutely not a developer.
My company has bought a year ago 1K tablets from a vendor in SZ.
The tablets have installed a developed application by a third party for elderly which requires that the tablet screen will be ON 24/7 and constantly on a charger. The application manages to adjust the screen brightness during the evening/night.
Now after 15 months we experience that tablets are coming back with a strange screen behavior.
Screen is ON constantly
Pressing shortly twice the ON/OFF button the screen goes OFF and returns ON with horizontal lines but the touch functionality in tact.
Turning OFF the screen (press ON/OFF button shortly once) for 20 seconds and then turn ON the screen again, these lines are gone.
When you repeat the first step turning OFF and ON the screen, the vertical (blurred) lines returning.
I have tried many things.
Flashing the firmware using flashtool in different settings (we have the firmware).
The factory can reproduce the issue, but is reluctant to find a proper solution.
I would like to be in touch with an engineer / developer who would be able to helps us out.
We can sent some tablets for examination or just the firmware files.
I am reaching out on this forum hoping on some positive response.
Thank you for reading,
Best Regards,
Jan
