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 .

I rotate the phone 180 degrees to let you see another side
How do you judge it? I think mine isn't that bad.

you need to put on something that is black background to see it. i can see it across the top and bottom , i can also see it very similair on my tv if i look at it the same way looking up into it. its there adn you can see it but its not that noticable unless your looking for it on mine. the pics the other poster showed were definaltey worse than mine. This does not make me regret the purchase at all.
i cant really see it at all when its the standard white bar across the top on froyo.
How about this one? Get "draw!" from market.
I have to put a dot at the center in order to take picture.
Added a pic of MT4 under similar situation (using draw!), but since the screen is less sensitive, I have to draw a small circle instead of the dot.

If you have to ask if it's bad....it's not bad.
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
Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can help? Basically, I got into a car accident and my phone was damaged. The image is reversed and the touch screen is somewhat insensitive.

The red streaks is just from the flash. Anyone experienced the same? Should I repair it or just give it up and buy a new one?
Thanks for your help.
Similar problem
I have similar problem. Touch in N5 was insentensive too and today something happened. I have Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case, so I think it shouldn't be problem, that my N5 fell from 1m high. Or maybe it is a problem? Now screen doesn't work, it only highlights a bit when it should display something. Touch doesn't work too, of course. I know that my N5 is still alive, because of vibrations and LED. I can hard reset my phone with 10s pressing power button, but I can only feel vibrations and a bit grey not dark screen.
Is my screen damaged? Or only software? I hope it's only the software, because I would prefer to do it myself, not to call RMA.
Does anyone know any way to control my phone via PC? Connected by USB or Wifi (I have remembered WiFi).
Sorry for my language (grammar etc.), I'm not American or British.
Dropping your phone will not damage software. You can access your phone via fastboot. I don't think it'll help. Your best bet is to send it in for repairs.
I've had car insurance cover a new laptop that damaged in a crash before. I live in Florida in the US though. Maybe its worth a shot for you too?

I have a Sprint Galaxy S5. Unfortunately it had an accident and fell screen first.

It powers on, all sensors function fine, the digitizer works, the touch sensor works, and the rotation works. The insurance deductible is $180 I believe. I dont want to pay that and risk getting a refurbished phone since it is only 2 weeks old.
Are there outfits that are NOT Samsung Repair that can replace the glass? That is all that seems to be broken.
Also are there other things that are possibly damaged that i am not aware of? it fell from about chest hight while texting onto a concrete sidewalk screenside first. Everything works so far it's just very finger slicey. Advice on what is also possibly broken or could break if not careful until i finally get it fixed would also be great. Thank you.

You also need the tools and skill. I wouldn't try on a new phone. If you rip it apart and ruin it insurance doesn't cover that.
Then you have this option to keep your phone which will be "refurbished" afterwards.

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
Too soon to have screen burn issue. I've note 3 and s6 over 4 years but still didn't have this issue.

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.
