I am now in my second day of using the Galaxy S6, and have run into the same problem both days. The phone works fine in the morning and most of the afternoon. But after it's been on a while (in the evening), it behaves very erratically. The desktop buttons work unevenly and are sticky, and it's very difficult to type a text (or anything), since after a few letters, the keyboard letters disappear automatically, and I have to keep going back over and over until I've finished my message. It's a real pain.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
Take it back. Sounds like you have a dud.

But in all seriousness, if you haven't rooted or messed with the system at all, and it's completely stock, there must be something wrong with your phone. It wouldn't do what you are describing unless something was terribly wrong. Take it back.
After I Odin'd back to stock, took the OTA and rerooted, I encountered very strange behavior. When I hit my Bluetooth quick toggles my volume up button would begin eratic behavior. Basically my volume up seems to have malfunctioned hardware wise. I reverted to stock, factory reset, wiped cache probably 10 times the last few days. No fix. So I determined it has to be hardware problem. Waiting on my replacement from Verizon.

Hi all
two days ago my i9003 touchscreen stopped working. But the side keys and volume keys were still working.
So I had nothing to do except removing the battery and check it again. And i could reset the phone and clear cache with volume up+home+power method. Still phone touch screen was not responding. But as i was playing like this (removing the battery resetting phone, removing memory card etc) touchscreen suddenly stared to work and everything was fine.
Next day morning phone got the same issue touch screen was not responding. at night I removed the back cover and kept playing like previous day for a while and it again started to work. I flashed my rom to 2.3.6 coz I thought this was a firmware issue. everything was fine then I even played fruitninja and i slept.
Today morning unfortunately touchscreen was not responding again. Then I just removed back cover(didnt remove the battery thaugh) and jiggling with side keys and home key for a while.. after sometime touchscreen started working.
I noticed these...
If do not use the phone for a long time, it freezes.
And when unfreezing of course after jiggling for sometime it unfreezes with making a screenshot.
Any suggestions?
anyone??
I have also started having same issue a week ago. I cannot give it to Samsung care as my warranty is void (yet to check what service they can provide in absence of warranty). I went to a local shop, the idiot straightaway said its screen need to be replaced. INR 6K in damages!
I obviously said no. Please let me know if you found something.

BTW I have already tried re-installing different versions (Russian/Indian) of GB. Tried couple of custom ROMs too but no avail.
Exactly same issue
& as I can see, no one has replied yet. I have flashed it so many times, the problem stays with all roms, it works sometimes & sometimes it doesnt.
So, not an hardware issue for sure or it would not have been working at all. But whatever the bug is, its deep rooted & quite frustrating
i have the same problem i also flashed all kind of Rom's stock/custom upgrade downgrade no luck
tomorrow i will replace the Screen and Report back am replaying/reopening this thread just for the record hope it's not H/w problem and could find the solution because back and menu button are completely separated from the touchscreen and yet not working as well
Forgot
sorry i forgot to post my feedback the problem is with our Screen Touch i've changed it and i worked
I got my OnePlus One today. What a happy day until this problem showed up.
My screen works just fine, but this happens every once a while. The screen looks like this for some seconds and goes back to normal then.
Any tips?
Its probably software. But wow that hurts my eyes looking at that picture.
Tell me about it. I almost went to an eye doctor. Lol
Are you able to reproduce the problem repeatedly? Does it happen only on the home screen or does it happen in other apps as well?
It appears when ever, where ever. If i take a screenshot of it, it won't appear in there. That's why i took a photo of it.
So, is this screen broken?
It could possibly be hardware then. The only way to really know is to flash a custom ROM or reflash the stock ROM, if it happens on another ROM then its for sure hardware.
Ok. Thanks! I think i'm the only one with this issue. Haven't found anything similar from the web, when searching.
The problem appeared once again and i rebooted the device. The screen had this ghosting in the bootup aswell.
I've done factory reset aswell and the problem continues.
If it occurs outside the OS then its for sure hardware
ALready

Solved
Having a very weird issue for the last few days on my rooted stock N5. Any call I make or receive only lasts about 8-10 seconds and then drops. I tried restarting but the problem came back. I went into recovery wiped dalvik and cache, but it came back. I tried both steps again and now the issue won't go away.
This morning I went into safe mode and made a call without any issues. Clearly I am having a software issue
Any ideas as to what is causing it? Or better yet, how to identify what is causing it and fix it. I am at work right now and do not have the capability of going back to stock, unlocking bootloader, re-rooting, etc.
Flash stock again. If it continues, it's hardware or a carrier issue.
Only real way to test. ?

Oh, could be a Sim card issue. Try someone's Sim that's the same size.
Anyone having issues with the screen not turning on? The home button still has the haptic feedback but nothing happens after that. The power button doesn't do anything either. Not sure if this is a defective phone or a s8+ overall issue...
Yes.. mine locks up frequently. Hold volume down and power until it responds
Haven't had this problem as of yet, and I have over 130 apps installed onto my phone. Transferred from Google first and Smart Switch after that. Haven't had a single problem.
seem the people in this link are having the same issues: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/phone-freezing-rebooting-unlocking-t3593075
hopefully its just a minor software glitch that can be fixed

I'm also getting this issue on my S8. Wondering if it's related to the always on lockscreen
Is this a serious issue?
---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------
Take it back for warranty
Just had this happen for the first time in the two weeks I've owned the S8+. Restart resolved it for now.
Had my phone since a day or 2 before launch and have not had this problem.
try to reboot a few times and also clear out the cache.
I remember the s7e had this problem and about 1 out of 20ish time the phone wouldnt wake up on first try. But they sent out an update to fix it.

I came here looking for answers, since I was experiencing the same problem (although no haptic feedback). This solution solved the problem. Got me into recovery mode, where I was able to turn off the phone and reboot.
Some of the answers suggested restarting. I don't think they understood the problem. The OP stated the power button was not working, as was my case. So 'just restarting' was not a solution.
I'm having the same issue but it started a couple weeks ago after I installed a firmware updated. It has happened 3 times since then, and never happened before that since I got the phone (on launch date a few months ago).
Hi All,
There's this weird thing happening with my Note.
Initially I had just bought a thicker phone case and noticed that I wasn't able to swipe down for my notification menu, I'd have to kinda hold my finger right up beside the front camera hole until I saw the shade come down then I could pull. To fix this I turned on "swipe down" for the notification menu. That was fine with me for a few days, until about 2 days ago when the phone would start to just freeze up when using it and I had to lock the screen and then unlock or reboot the phone for it to work again.
I got really frustrated and last night wiped the device clean and re-installed the OS without pulling back the apps I already had on it, and the problem was still there.
I had the factory screen protector on it, I though maybe that could compromised so I pulled it off this morning and it still does it.
I can use the phone fine with the s-pen, so I turned on dev options and went in and turned on the setting to show where I touch on the screen. Because I wanted to see what was up. Once I switched it on, I noticed that from time to time there would be a whole trail of presses happening at the top bar of the phone and it would always kinda gather up at the top right side of the camera punch hole. Once that shows up, the notification bar pulls down by itself, sometimes all the way to the bottom of the screen or half way. But the whole screen stops responding, pulling the s-pen and pushing it back up works. I can use it with the pen but not my fingers and it is very frustrating.
Has this happened to anyone? Is this a in-home fix? Or Do I need a replacement?
Hi its happening for me as well. with the latest pie update not android 10 beta

I don't quite remember my build number, but it was running Android 9. Unfortunately we don't really have a Samsung service center here in Jamaica (well we do have a samsung place but they'll tell you if you bought it elsewhere take it there) it's my company phone so I just sent it back to our supplier to have it repaired. They said roughly 2 weeks to get it back. We bought 2 at the same time, the other doesn't charge properly with the stock charger the person has to use a S8 charger to get quick charge (weird i know) In any event, the plan is that when I get it back I'll just put in a request for the Note 10+ and call it a day.
