Touchscreen Problems (Can´t draw a line) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello xda,
first off all, please excuse the bad english.
So... Like the title said, i can´t draw a line on the display from my S7.
If i touch the blind point again it get a "point", so the touch works on this points. (don´t know how to explain it good).
On the picture you can see it perfectly.

Do you have any idea? Is it a software problem or maybe a hardware problem?
(One thing - i CAN´T delete the phone at the moment, so a full wipe wouldn´t be possible at the moment)
Greetings from Germany and thank you,

Does it happen with all sketch / draw apps?

Sry for not answering to your question,
yes, it happens with both apps too....sooo....I have the feeling that the screen is broken.
So I just orderd (ordered? order?.....hmmm.......) a new display for the phone and I will try it with this one then.
Sry for bothering the xda with the problem - I will give feedback what the new screen will do.

Ordered*
Good luck :good:

Sooo....as promised.
Seems like the touch was broken.... Now everthing is working fine!
Does any of you have a idea wtf the problem was? I mean, the phone didn´t fell (fall - fell...ähhh?) on the ground or something...how kann that happen?

Same problem
I have the same problem but only on the left border of the screen. To replace the screen it costs 180€ and I don't have the money. Does anyone know if I could fix it without replacing the screen?? Thanks!

No backligth in SPV-M1000 - pls help

Hello,
I just became a owner of a SPV-M1000 - a sad owner :?
This device just dont want to turn on the backligth. I have been thou settings, manual, tried severel profiles ect. Still without resault. I could really use help on this one
I have not yet d/l any updates atall or patches yet and I really doubt that the backligth in this device is defect.
Also - I dont quite know wich model the "Orange SPV-M1000" is, but its is very identically with the third illustration from the rigth on this forum front page.
Best regards & Thank you,
Skipper
you can toggle the backlight by holding down the on off button for awhile
that is unless it's broken
I just learned a new future there - yes, but it did not solve my problem. I have now been in touch with a repairs shop and the technichian had a very hard time to belive that the display backligth was malfunctioning and that it must be a user error. I dont belive that..
A new display is pretty expensive and before I buy this i´d kinda hoped that someone else had a more experience know-how in this area before I purchases this.
Btw - if it comes to buy a new display do anyone know where on the net this can be done. I was thinking change it myselves.
:wink:
have you tried hardreseting it just to in case ?
if the backlight dont come on when it gets to the calibrate screen and such i would say it's defect
and if it's under warrenty first ½ year the orange guy have to prove that you broke it or give you a new one
I just bougt a used display from a companig that had the same model that had a damaged chassic - pretty cheap .. And it works, perfect.
Now I have to install all the latest software and drivers for both the device and computer. I will try look around the net for this but if you maby would be kind and guide me, would be great.
Thanks

broken xda screen, memory full of baby pics an vids please help

hello.. ive been away on holiday with my xda and unfortunatly ive smashed the screen, is there any way of getting it to reset so im able to use activesync to download the info on there, as i cant get passed the "align screen" part .. please help if u can.. there are our first baby pics on there and im gutted to have lost them, i dont mind taking it to bits if i have to thanks dave
If you can't get any activesync access, one of us might have to write you an autorun program that you can stick on a memory card. Insert it, it'll autorun, backup all your memory, and make a ping sound.
You could probably also use it to write align screen data to the registry so it'll skip that screen.
Can you see the screen, or nothing at all?
V
yep
ace m8... sounds like u know what to do... (the wifes chewing my ear off about this) er yeah.. the screen still lights up and displays however the glass front has been smashed so the touch screen wont register anything
i have a 1gb sd card and that sounds like the way to do it if at all possible,
as before, any help will be gratefully recieved
thanks
autorun program?
how would i go about getting an autorun program?
does anyone know who i could approach?
Did this ever get sorted out?
V
It's just me, but if you are on the align screen (without choosing it from settings) doesn't that usually mean that you preformed a hard reset so all those baby pictures are lost anyway?
I think, from the F*cked Hermes threads, that if the screen gets massively disaligned the OS will initiate a screen align itself. I'm not sure, I've never seen it happen.
Screen align can also be kick started with a press of enter + messaging (on some devices).

What to do with a blue angel with a broken touch panel?
This doesn't directly relate to the baby pictures issue, but more generally a blue angel / sx66 with a broken touch screen. I found a place online that would fix it for $140 or so, but it's not worth that much according to its condition and recent ebay sales. Anyone know of a cheaper way to get one repaired, more in the $40-75 range using used parts? I know I could sell this one for parts and I may do that, but would rather fix it up and put linux on it.

It is not an easy DIY project to replace the touchscreen on Blueangel:

I have tried to separate it from the broken LCD, and broke it after all, too.
cant you just connect as a guest?
Try this free software, lets you control XDa from PC
Hi I have the same problem but used this program to control the xda even though cant see the screen, it recreates the screen on the pc, as long as activesync is connected this will self-install.
Regards
Michael
shouldnt your files be backed upto your computer once you connect to activsync? mine has always done that. also i have a program that you can use that will let you control your phone from your pc. let me know if you need it and i will send it you

Question about O2 XDA Zest

A friend of my bought a new O2 XDA Zest. He found a problem. Everytime when he took off battery, the time/date all set to factory default. Even worse, all his calendar items went away as well. He would like to know if this is a design issue or just his phone's problem. Taking off battery is essential to him as he travel around world a lot and he has a few SIM card from different countries.
I'd say that was a hardware bug. Mine retains settings fine when you remove the battery.
Xda Zest
I haven't had anything like that for last few weeks. But it always troubling me when I do restart...

Need help with my G-sensor

Hey guys/gals, I need someone with hardware knowledge. I've been working with my Fuze for a long time and I pretty much have a handle on everything, well almost. My Fuze had a tragic run in with some rain. I was able to get almost everything to work again after complete disassembly and drying. I know, I was as shocked as you all are! Anyway, as you can see from the title, my g-sensor is the only thing not responding. I'm not afraid to dive into my phone if it's something I can repair, but is it a module on the phone? If so, where? I have the manuals but they state nothing about the g-sensor location. I've tried the calibration, but nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I have a thread in the marketplace, looking for a speaker/ringer for the phone. While reassembling, the wire got pinched. Thanks guys, as always.
same problem with me. gsensor is broken. cheiefs please give some clue on repairing.

The same problem here.., any solution or fix??, why this happend???
lets try to find something common that might be the reason. I will try o write some possible reasons :
1- did you drop the phone recently ?
2- do you use a car phone holder with magnet ?
3- did you left the phone to direct sunlight?
I would guess being submerged in water is what caused it as it says this in the first message.....

Touch Pro tweaked graphics

Hey, guys,
Should your TP have this symptom? at about 1/5 of the display location, at the bottom side, TP display would be tweaked graphics sometimes. I don't know why, there are a last interface's shadow under new interface. or the other interface's font under new interface, it seems teacher write something on not clean blackboard with chalk. should you have any solution ? thanks.
what rom are you using? i have similar symptoms sometimes when using the phone feature - the bottom parts gets distorted, esp. in landscape mode. i have tael's rom.
HI,thanks for your answer, Yup, esp. in landscape mode. en ,every ROM revision I used has this kind of symptom, I suppose this is Touch Pro's hardware problem ?! so I am looking for a software which can fix it. what do you think about this topic ? thanks.
Hello,
I have the same problem. I think the image is there
burned. This happens when the screen long time the same
displays. A Screensaver helps. I just do not know how do you get one
Pietboxer
PS: I hope my English is understandable. I am from Germany
Yea I have that too...and I had it ever since I started flashing NRG roms. I got used to it already but sometimes it still gets annoying. Soon I might order a new screen and digitizer (ver scratched up) so then I'll post back here.
Oh, yup, thanks for all guys to discuss this topic, and that is what I am looking for away out this trap long long ago, that is uncomfortable as I look at that area. Nonce I I don't think there are a debug software to fix it.
I don't know what HTC said. I think I am not the first guy to feedback this problem.
