[Completed] [Q] Samsung S4 GT-i9500 overheat issue.

So I've been using the GT-I9500 for nearly two years now and I've noticed that it's been overheating a lot recently. I've flashed MIUI v6 on the phone and I'm still facing the same issue, particularly in the area around the LED flash on the back of the device and the whole sAMOLED screen becomes too hot to touch. Even now, I've had to put my phone down a couple of times before completing this post. Please help!

S6 Screen Glitched/Broken?

Hey guys. My wife's s6 just did something really weird and I have no idea how to fix it. Her screen seems to be glitched or messed up. I don't know how to describe it. When ever I turn the phone on the screen turns on for 2 secs but all the words and images are all over the screen and then the scree shuts off but the applications are still usable. I tried doing a restart but didn't work and I then tried upgrading it but also didn't work. I tried to kinda mess with the brightness but still nothing. We just got this phone like 3 weeks ago and it was working fine up to 20 mins ago. She hasn't dropped it or done any water damage. Can anyone please help me to see what is going on with this phone.
I cant provide photos because i am new user. If anyone know how i can get around this without posting 10 times let me know so i can show you the screen of my wifes phone. I posted a similar help post on android central with pictures if you need to see the screen.

You can try a full reset 1st. If it still persists then its most likely a factory defect. Return your S6 back to Samsung for warranty replacement.

Hi, Please try the following,
1. Open the dialer and hit *#0*#
2. There will be different color options like red/green/blue. select each one by one and check whether the issue comes up somehow.
3. Then try using the phone in safe mode/factory reset.
If the issue still persists, then it is likely to be a hardware issue and please get it checked with samsung as soon as possible. :good:

Hi Sandeep,
no warranty ... that's bad.
New display is expensive ... and you can do little to nothing, depending on the cause of that flickering.
You can check this thread: Samsung Galaxy S5 - Indian Users by NoteboyTech or ask in the [SUPPORT THREAD] The Galaxy ~S5~ All in one support thread!**NOOB FRIENDLY** by Ricky Divjakovski.
Maybe someone there has a better advice.
Good luck !

[Completed] Screen flickering Meizu m2 note

Hello, I actually have a small problem on my phone.. I searched for the solutions but I am unable to find a reliable fix.. Everybody has a quite different type of this problem..
Phone model: Meizu m2 note
Previous os : Flyme 5(stock)
Current OS: Cm 12.1 (by Moyster on xda)
SCREEN FLICKERING
Well, before I start I would like to say that my phone has actually survived a water bath.. The phone fell in the swimming pool when my friends were trying to click a pic.. It didn't switch on, on the same day, but I disassembled it completely, and let it dry for a week.. Later the phone worked completely fine.. It's been 3 months since the incident...
Well the problem now is the SCREEN FLICKERING.. I guess It has nothing to do with the water damage cause that was almost 3 months back and this problem started around a month ago, when I was on flyme 5. And nope, the phone has never fallen off my hands.. The phone works fine for maybe the first 30 minutes after keeping it idle for a long time... The screen flickers even during the bootup, fastboot, and even in recovery..
I have two Meizu m2 note in my home.. The other one is my mom's phone.. And I almost update same roms on both the phones.. And my mom's phone is working completely fine and not facing this problem.. I don't have a warranty for this anymore, but I can still give it to the company's service center.. The main reason I posted this thread is because I just wanna know if this is a software or a hardware problem.. Cause in few other threads they said that this had sumthng to do with the kernel and stuff.. I don't wanna leave my phone at a service center for 2 months if this is fixable at home..
Not the complete screen flickers, but only the upper top part of the screen..
I have attached a YouTube link for a perfect view of the screen.. The phone on the video is my phone..!

I would really appreciate if you would help me on this.. thank you.. :victory:

S7 Edge freezing then restarting

Hi all,
Hope somebody can shed some light on this issue I'm facing. This is my first ever post. All your input will be very much appreciated.
I purchased this S7 Edge DUOS (Dual sim version) around 8 weeks ago. Around 3 weeks into my ownership, I've started facing a persistent issue which I've tried to resolve with the best of my knowledge but unfortunately I haven't succeeded.
Randomly the phone will freeze for around 5 to 10 seconds and then restart. Sometimes a pixelated set of lines would appear across the screen when it freezes, a lot of the times they are green.
When the phone does reboot and I return back to the main screen, everything is back to normal and the apps I was using remain opened in the background, so it's not a proper reboot.
There is no such pattern on when this happens, it happens while being used on any app and a lot of the times it reboots while the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I realise is because the phone will be on the startup lock screen.
Battery life seems okay, nothing seems to be draining the battery. Although sometimes it does get hot and drains it temporarily.
I have cleared cache partition, done a factory reset and deleted third party apps. Nothing has resolved the issue. When I did the factory reset, the phone didn't crash for a good few days then started doing it again.
I just cannot work out what it may be and it's getting really frustrating!
I really hope somebody can shed some light on this, I am trying to avoid going down the return route.
Many Thanks in advance for all your help.
Hassan

Hi my mate had the exact taste problem with his s7 Edge single dim version, it woody of freeze and reboot and pixilated just as u explained and turned out his phone his cpu overheated and this was the result of it, he then returned it to Samsung and he received a brand new handset so best is to maybe return it as it sounds to be a faulty handset.
