Hi,
Recently, while using the WhatsApp i was deleting one mesg.. after deletion, strangely one horizontal black line came up.
Initially i thought its an application issue or might be screen refresh issue.
I rebooted the phone in recovery, cleared cache but it didnt worked.
Then i formatted the SD card, made Phone a factory reset, both from phone settings and from recovery mode... but issue is still there.
I am now clueless... how to remove it.
Any help guys .... how do i remove this black line ???
Do you see this black line
in recovery mode?
during the bootanimation?
on your homescreen?
or just in single apps?
If the line is visible all the time its very likely a hardware issue. LCD panels are usually wired in horizontal lines. So maybe one of this connections is broken...

I saw this line in all the places, start from boot screen showing as GT-I5801, at recovery and all places...
Is it a virus or hw issue..?

Well, this CAN be a virus. But todays malware is more about stealing passwords from your device instead of drawing black lines on your screen. And I don't think it's even possible to draw the black line in recovery and during the GT-I5800 logo.
I'm 99% sure it's a hardware fault. You can take a screenshot with Android and check if the line is in the picture (this would be a GPU issue) or on the exact same place on your device-screen and not in the screenshot (this would be a hardware screen issue).
That's the way these devices show us, they're getting old
Have a nice day :good:

Thanks for providing workaround to find the root cause...
Can you name any tool or method by which i can take a snapshot of screen...?

Doesn't your ROM provide a screenshot utility in the power-menu (pressing power button 2 seconds)?
If not, search the PlayStore for "screenshooter" or similar keywords.
And (just for my own interest :silly, does the screen responds to your finger on the black line. Like when you are scrolling through a list and your finger moves across the black line on the screen, does the screen recognize this as one touch action. Or does it break at this line and start a new touch action right after your finger is on the working part of the screen again?
You can test this by slowly (I mean really slowly) moving a widget on your homescreen over the black line. If the touch input is also broken on the black line, the widget would drop when your finger reach the black line. Else, the touch-part of the screen is working properly (Hope this is somehow understandable :laugh
Hey guys and gals,
I have nexus 5 that is just about a year and a half old. Every now and then, when I wake up the phone from sleep, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I see white horizontal lines running across the top. I have tried restarting the phone, resetting the phone to factory. The problem still persists. The only way I get the lines to stop from showing up and get the touch screen responsive again is pushing down on the screen hard at random location.
I have attached a video of the problem I'm getting. https://youtu.be/CzgZ1bcN1Lk
I'm suspecting its a screen issue and I need to replace the LCD panel, Digitizer, etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to replace the digitizer (if I'm not wrong), I've encountered this issue before on my older phone.
Hi everyone,
After I dropped my phone I had to change the display.
Only after I've changed the screen another problem surfaced: the screen becomes unresponsive (like it enters slowly in sleep mode) and pink lines apear.
The display is OK since I reinstalled the ROM twice and the install screen work without fail.
It looks loke an overheating problem.
Has someone else seen this behavior?
Thank you!
seems you have installed screen not correctly, I mean the ribbon has a small amount of circuitry and components. did you check those?
When installing and configuring Android there is no problem, just after it starts the problem begins.
Hi All,
I just recently dropped my Nexus 5 flat on front face down. Now the screen is showing colored vertical lines some are horizontal and some vertical lines. Most lines are at the bottom part of screen. The LCD is completely safe and clean because of tempered grass. The screen is also unresponsive. Phone is turning on without any issue. When I press hard on the screen then so many vertical red lines appears.
Please help if anyone has fixed this issue before.
Thanks
Screen appears to have died.
First it started with a vertical line of wrong colour pixels, it was this way for a few months. Then half the screen went white and later that day the screen died.
It flickers white and pink for a split second in the top right corner when you wake it, but then goes off. Otherwise the phone works as screenshots and apps respond, and responds to touch.
Don't suppose anyone knows any dirty tricks for fixing it that don't require taking it apart? Like heating it or something?
