So I just started having this problem today where when I go to make a call in my dialer, the screen turns white (except the status and nav bars) and it won't let me press home, back, or even the power button. After a short period with the white screen, the phone randomly reboots itself. It's a pain in the ass if you have to press a number when you're calling someone i.e. an extension.
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there's an easy fix for it. Thanks in advance.
Mods, can you please delete this thread? Thanks.

Anyone have problems with the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone and the scroll wheel? Talking about the att fuze here. Randomly when using the text program it will scroll in and out without stopping. Only way to make it stop is to press the power button to turn the screen off then again to turn the screen back on. Also, when i press the bottom left key to bring up the dialer sometimes it will not and just do nothing. Just as in a phone call i press the bottom right hard key to hang up the call and sometimes it will not respond what so ever.
I know the keys work because when i press them they light up showing i pressed them but they have no effect. This happens about 50% of the time and not at all rom related. I have tried over 8 different roms including those with tf3d2 and wm6.5 and all have the same problem. I have even tried flashing to the stock att rom and even on that rom i am still having this problem. I have never dropped my phone or any physical damage. Any ideas? I have already called warranty exchange and have another fuze on its way to me. I am convinced it has to be hardware related some how since no rom will work 100% for me with these keys. I have had my phone since january and out of the blue this all started about 3 weeks ago.
Bump Bump Bump
I dont have that problem, but sometimes my keys dont work and I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on
sometimes I even have to soft-reset my phone
this is partially because the Left and Right directional button is roughly between the Home/pick up and Back/hang up keys respectively. you have to press more towards the corner otherwise it will register as a left or right press.
another situation is when it is running a bunch of processes in the background it forgets what keys are what and you just have to turn it off and turn it back on (the display) and it should work again. that or open a random program and exit out back into tf3d
goodluck
Actually, I have exactly the problem that you're reporting where the zoom in happens circurlarly, without any ceasing. It's driving me batty.
just flashed the stock RUU back on to the phone... had issues going through the initial setup until i noticed what is going on, when i press on the left side of the screen the icon/app on the opposite responds. so for example in my keyboard, pressing q types p, caps does backspace, same goes for icons on the home screen, when i pull down notification screen and want to open settings i have to press on the clock on the opposite side. the 3 bottom buttons do work as expected.
- i restarted the deivce
- i turned it all the way off and back on
- i disabled Sense keyboard (via apps)
issue persists
anyone any ideas? help a dude out please... thanks in advance!
re-flashed stock ROM... issue persists.
nobody has seen this before?
I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 after the 5.0 updates. I'm currently on 5.0.1 but had the same issue with 5.0. My device is completely stock. Just never felt like doing anything to the nexus 5. First phone I decided not to root. The issue i'm having is that every once in a while during a day I will try to turn on my phone to view any notifications or just refresh some news sites. Instead of getting the lock screen and hearing the unlock click to slide, i'm taking right to the home screen bypassing the slide to unlock. All applications at this point will glitch. For example, if i open hangouts, it will open but be blank. Spotify might open, or just be a dark gray screen. Other apps just behave very strangely. If I try to press the home button, it lights up and won't do anything. If i press the multi-task button it looks like it will show the running apps but then just shows a blank screen. If I press the back button many times, it takes me back to the home screen which might or might not be blank. The only way around this is to reboot my phone. But this is happening a few times a day. Often, i'll also see the home button and multi task button disappear. I've taken two screen shots of what it looks like. Has anyone ever seen this issue? I don't mind downgrading back to 4.x or rooting for a custom rom if that will resolve this glitch. I can also provide a list of installed apps if anyone wants to know. So what do you guys think of this?
Hi all
Just wondered if anyone else has had a BSOD?
Brand new out the box, my Z5 connected and Google instantly downloaded my apps and contacts associated with my account from previous phone (Sammy Galaxy S4). This was OK, but it took a while and was about 70 apps. I rebooted after it was all done, of course, but occasionally I get this damn Black screen where everything is unresponsive (can't upload screenshot yet)
The only way to wake the phone up from this dark coma is to either reboot or switch user to guest then switch back again. Nothing else seems to work. Its probably one little app incompatibility but don't know how I'm going to find it except uninstalling 1 app at a time and testing the phone to see if it reoccurs. Could take ages to figure out.
Anyone suffering from this?
YES
Finally! Someone who seemingly has the same issue as I do!
It seems to happen most often when I hit the home button from snapchat, or some other camera app, but not always. Other details about my issue:
Screen goes black, but is clearly on. Status bar can still be dragged down, notifications can be pressed but do not respond. They can be dismissed.
Home screen, back, and recent apps buttons still respond, but do not do anything EXCEPT once in a while I can get it to go to just my background... no apps, icons, or anything else. At this point, the recent apps button disappears.
Prior to getting the black screen, my phone will not lock. It will turn off the screen when I press the power button, but when I press it again it is already unlocked.
Not sure what's up, or what I can do! Rebooting the phone helps for a little while, but I get it usually once or twice a day. It seems like it happens more on weekends, but that could just be confirmation bias since I used it more.
:crying:
Hmmm...
for me it doesn't seem to be triggered by anything - it just happens. (I don't have snapchat installed)
I've uploaded the screenshot as my profile image, so you can see the back triangle is the only thing that is not blacked out, that and the very top (battery/clock,signal, etc). If I tap the screen bottom right where the square is instead of seeing a list of recent apps the screen will flicker as if the list is scrolling up the screen but it all stays dark. I'm thinking of factory reset then reinstall everything. A PIA but as I have unlimited data it's no biggy.
Thanks for replying, Vargasm, and good luck with solving it. If you find anything out post back!
I have the same issue on my Z5 premium. There is no solution except reboot it. T^T
i have the same problem here. Phone is only a week old and totally stock. Have heard it may be due to a screen protector if you use one. I am loathe to remove mine though.
I have a few issues with my GS7 and am hoping someone here may be able to advise me.
1) Every now and then, approximately once or twice an hour, I get a notification sound or vibration (depending on setting), but no actual notification. I used a program to create a shortcut to the notification log and every time I look there is no notification in that log that corresponds, anybody have any ideas how I can work out what this is?
2) In a similar manner, I'm always getting the notification to choose my keyboard, even though I use Swiftkey and have the stock keyboard disabled. Any tips?
3) I have a wireless charging stand which until recently worked without issues, or none I remember. A few times recently I've taken my phone off in the morning and it's not at 100%, any idea what might stop it charging? The only thing I can think is that if I've woken up and disturbed the phone to check the time etc maybe that's causing it?
Any thoughts on these would be appreciated.
Any ideas anyone?
Same SwiftKey issue here no idea how to fix it.
