[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheikhumar93:
Hey guys, I woke up today to find that my younger brother had totally screwed my Moto Defy's display. I do not know how he did it, I think he placed it under something really heavy. But anyways these blue lines and dots have appeared on the screen and they have been expanding since the past 10 hours or so continuously. First the line was really small as I have pointed out in the first picture but it has increased in height but now it is increasing its width as well. Can I do anything to stop it from increasing, I think 3 days down the road it will cover the screen completely at the rate at which it is increasing?

P.S What do I need to replace if the lines appear everywhere, the LCD right? The touch on my phone works flawlessly!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minomarimat:
Hi,

Those are what technicians call "dead pixels." Which means that the small pixels on your device are either smashed up (individually), or does not light anymore.

Yes, you do have to replace the touch screen LCD of your device, unless your Defy is still covered by warranty and can be easily sent over to authorized service centers for repair, root or no root. ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YetAnotherForumUser:
One of these would do the trick...

How that younger brother managed to damage the screen without causing damage to other parts of the phone is a bit of a mystery. There is an air gap between the glass/digitizer and the LCD display so he must have exerted quite a bit of force to bend (!) the glass down so far.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mri.project:
NO dont buy a new display.

Remove battery and close back cover -

then put the phone into a plastic bag and close it.

the put it into the refrigerator for 2-7 hours

then put your phone under you pillow and wait 2 hours or until it will be dry again.

then put your battery back on the phone and check the screen.

if its gone then yay, if not put it again ..

the guide is not mine and was on this forum.

WORKED for me like a charm and now every thing just fine...

My Defy has some blue splotches very similar to the OPs. It happened after my daughter dropped it causing a single crack in the corner of the screen...

Thank you guyz I owe one to you! It really worked and saved my defy! Thanks alottt.

blue dots on the motorola Defy plus screen

Hi all

In the morning,I slipped my mobile from about 2 meters. Its screen got blue dots which worried me a lot. I started searching the solutions on many forums. At lost I got the solution from here. I kept my mobile in freezer about 2 hours and waited for one more hour to come to normal temperature. Miracle!.. All of a suddenly, blue dots gone.

As an engineer, I didn't believe this.just I made a trail before I replace the LCD screen. I would like to thank to the people who wrote the solution and who supports this forum.

I would be more happy if give the mystery details technically.

Help with motorola BRAVO

Hi everyone. I have a motorola BRAVO phone which has the same config as DEFY. I am also facing a similar problem. I was looking for LCD replacement then I got here.

I want to ask Those who have tried this. How did you dry the phone ?

I tried to keep the phone in freezer for 2 hours. Then kept it under sun for ~2 hours. But the problem is still here.

Any reply will be appreciated about drying it up.

EDIT:

SO I tried it again. And it got worse. The lines expanded. I think i have to replace the LCD. :(

Also I have tried the "Dead pixel detect and fix" app. It does nothing .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitox.n2o:
For a while now, my phone has randomly been freezing, becoming completely unresponsive and requiring either a battery pull or a reboot by holding down the power button. It began a couple months ago while running Task's AOKP ICS with ktoonsez's Fluxi XX kernel. The odd thing is that the phone was stable (ie. no freezes) for the first few months under that setup before it started happening once every few days.

When the frequency of freezes went up to about once a day, I did a full wipe (formatted data and system, cleared cache and dalvik) and flashed Slimbean 2.7 with stock kernel, thinking that maybe something had gotten corrupt in my previous setup. That didn't fix anything, so I flashed ktoonsez's Siyah kernel to see if anything would change. Nothing did, so I kept with that setup (currently on Slim 2.9, Siyah 4.3.3).

The freezing is now occurring anywhere between 1-3 times a day, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. Sometimes it occurs after interacting with the screen, other times it happens while it's charging and the screen is off. Most recently it occurred around a minute after I changed a volume setting and was in the middle of a Scramble with Friends game.

I pulled the last_kmsg (attached) after rebooting the device; I don't know how to go about recording a logcat due to the random timing of freezing. I also don't know how to interpret the last_kmsg, which is what brings me here.

I did take a perfunctory glance at the file and noticed that the log doesn't seem to be very "clean", in the sense that the output is garbled in several places with random capitalizations and incorrect characters (ex. instead of "ignore request by suspending" on line 30 it reads "ignore bequect bY Suspe&ding"). I don't know if this is indicative of anything, and if it is I would be very curious to know what.

Anyways, if anyone has the time to spare to help me look through this to try to find the cause of my problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

I should have mentioned that I made these changes a few days after flashing Siyah. During the time that it was stock, freezing still occurred.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitox.n2o:
My suspicion is that there is some sort of hardware malfunction causing this to happen, considering that it has occurred across both ICS and JB platforms running on different kernels. I would actually be mildly surprised if it is due to ROM or kernel. Still hoping an interpretation of the last_kmsg will reveal more information about this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Flash stock and factory reset within the ROM after booting up with stock. Just make sure you backup you SDCARD to your PC as it will format your SDCARD. Go from there and see if it happens stock.

Here is an amazing app that gives you Android 4.2 Jellybean style Quick Settings in any ROM (2.2 Froyo + ) on any device!

It allows quick access to almost all settings that I use regularly in a much quicker and more convenient way than the Settings app.

Note that as of now, the app was published only two days ago (9 November), so it may have some glitches, but these should be more than compensated for by the prospects of improvement.

This app was also featured in xda news

I set it to open when I swipe up on my launcher, so that it can be used just like the quick settings shade.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
I'd been using FF18 for quite a while without incident, but after upgrading to FI27 (not OTA, via the one-click method), Google Play is hanging the system immediately after successfully downloading and installing any given app. It puts me on the usual page allowing me to open the app, I press open, and wham, the system freezes until it reboots automatically about a minute later. The app that I installed then runs fine.

(In testing this several times, I should mention that one time I actually was able to open an app I just installed, but it hung about 10 seconds in, and the system rebooted as usual. It ran fine after that.)

I've searched around a bit for this and see that I'm hardly the first to encounter this issue. Sometimes it occurs when no recent update has been performed at all. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a solution yet. The best I've seen is to delete the data for Google Play and Download manager, and rebooting, which I've done to no effect. I've also tried uninstalling Google Play, but I think in this case that just leaves me with the same version that I had, the one that came with FI27 (in any case, that didn't help either).

How does one go about troubleshooting this type of problem? I suppose wiping out the phone and starting over would fix it, but I was hoping for more of a surgical rather than nuclear approach. After all, on a PC, you don't reformat when you have a problem with a program.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You stated you upgraded so I'm assuming you didn't do a fresh install. Even if you did do a fresh install, restoring data & apps from an older version could cause problems. You should try a fresh load and work your way back from there.

Edit: Saw you did the one-click. Still think you should try a full wipe and try it again with a fresh load to see how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
I've now done that (though one or two had no data), along with the framework one you mentioned earlier, followed by a reboot, but it still happens. Arghh!

Yes, I chose the nodata FI27, since it said that it was good for same-version or upgrades (in this case, ICS to ICS), but I will choose the nuke-from-space one if there's no way out of this, though wouldn't just resetting to factory defaults at this point do the same thing?

It's a little bit disturbing that an issue with one app, albeit an important (though not essential) one, can require wiping the phone. If this were to come up again for some reason, maybe just one day out of the blue and not related to putting on a new ROM, it would be nice to know a way out.

Perhaps I can grab a log from somewhere with ADB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If you have a custom kernel with recovery make a backup. Or get one and do it and then do a full wipe and fresh load. That is the only way you'll know for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
Yes, I will, but I thought I'd live with it a while to see what I could learn.

I've found that opening the newly-installed app is not the issue: simply installing a new app is. If I wait on the "Open" screen right after an install, and do nothing, within a minute the system will freeze and reboot.

Interestingly, updating apps does not trigger the problem, as numerous apps have updated this week, even one that Google Play wanted me to approve manually. Go figure.

Anyway, I have a logcat of an example in case anyone is interested. In this case, I initiated an install at 15:26, which is when the log begins. It ends shortly after the reboot.

Hi

This is a new member here from Pakistan.

Switched from stock to Mwakious3D ROM . HTCUnlocked the bootloaded, flashed cwm recovery, then did not do a clean install but just ran the 15.0 base from SD card and then ran the OTA update~

The Wifi gives an error and won't turn on. Tried installing the wifix, uninstalling, buried it in the ground, grew some grass over it and burnt the grass. Nothing helped~

If I hit options .. only advanced tab is unavailable that shows Mac Address is not available which is the closest I could come to trace the root of the problem~

Since XDA won't let me post in the Mwakious thread until I spam/troll 10 dutiful posts anywhere irrelevant, this sits here~ ^_^

Do I jump in the well, fall on a spike or do a normal suicide or is there a way to solve my problem D:
