[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftybugger:
Prologue: I bought this D802 second hand with a cracked screen. It has no LG warranty. Everything else appears (visually) to be in order. I had the screen (screen, digitiser, LCD) replaced with an OEM LG screen today.

Whenever I have light colours on dark colours, or green in any combination, in motion I get horizontal lines of bright pixels extending up to 2cm either side of the colour. If I move the display (scroll, or if it is a video) the lines move, appear, reappear, grow, shrink etc. I can't get it on a screenshot, but it looks like this: [IMG="Lines"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2388745&d=1384303872[/IMG]

It's not the digitiser lines (although I can see those too), and it's not the lines that you get with the jdi screens. They are definitely lit pixels.

The place that did the repair has a 3 month warranty on the screen replacement soI took it back to show them. They disassembled to check connections and said that it wasn't the screen at fault. I can only assume they think it might be the GPU.

So, how can I exclude the GPU and prove that the screen is faulty?

Things I've tried:

- updated to latest stock ROM

- cast screen to Chromecast and the lines don't appear (but I assume that the chromecast's gpu does the rendering)

- took screenshots while playing a video displaying lots of 'lines'. When viewed on the phone, the screenshots show the lines, but when viewed elsewhere they do NOT show. I figure that for a screenshot the gpu has done the rendering so this suggests it's not the GPU at fault.

- used the 3845#*802# hidden menu to do a few test. The LCD test in there just shows solid colours so the lines didn't show.

What else can I try?

- get a slimport to HDMI adapter? will this prove that the GPU is fine?

- other ideas?

Any experience, ideas, or info greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

shiftybugger
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Force:
Some services before they mount the screen to phone, just connect display plug and turn on the phone to check if everything is working properly, they should have done that, i think its their fault. I've never disassembed g2, but if it's possible they should try to unplug the screen and plug it to another g2. Everything other than that is just speculation

After all, you gave them phone with broken display and not broken gpu, if the gpu was broken they should have determined that at the first repair and stated that in report. If they have not wrote that and it turns out that gpu is faulty that only could mean that they broke it by unprofessional service
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftybugger:
Update for anyone this may help in the future:

I convinced the shop that the screen was the problem. They installed a new screen and the problem is gone. So, if you have this issue, you have a faulty LCD.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatux:
All,

Since 5.0.1 was officially released for the Note 4 in the UK on the O2 Network I've had persistent battery issues.

I upgraded my device using the official firmware from sammobile and started to to get high battery drain..

The device would drain from 100-0 in about 6 hours with minimal use and during testing I would see a 10% battery drain while in stand by for 1 hour.

After some further testing with other ROMs /Modem versions etc it's still having a much higher drain then before, for example before the upgrade I would used my phone to watch some netflix etc on the way to work and would use about 9% now its draining about 20%.

I have a feeling its the modem thats causing the problem because when I switch the mobile data off the battery drain seems to be much less.

I'm currently on the Rom from here ( http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881 )

[General Questions and Answers] GokulNC:
Go to Settings->Display and turn off Auto Brightness
[General Questions and Answers] alijaved154:
It is off still it is happening may be it is a bug in the rom??

Or it could be because of iroot it recentle swicthed to supersu!!
[General Questions and Answers] GokulNC:
You can say it's a bug only if it was like this from the day you bought it.

Maybe some recent change that you made could have caused it.

Try recollecting what you did while it was working properly.

I don't think SuperSU will cause this.

Anyway, try switching back to the previous root app.

Even some Xposed module could have caused it.

If nothing works, the only way is flashing ROM again, if you don't have backup

[Galaxy S6 General] flu13:
I've rooted my last 3 phones, and for the longest time, considered it an essential step in the true Android experience.

But let's be honest, rooting is a bit of a PITA. You risk destroying your warranty, which worries me with a phone that I got on launch day. You have issues with OTA updates. If you load a custom ROM, you're blowing away all your settings each time you load an update. There's more, but I won't keep going.

Of course, there are a LOT of benefits, too. Most of them, however, are ways around annoying little nits that I have, and with this phone, I find fewer of those nits, and far fewer items that are larger than nits. With the improvements in Android and with a good launcher, I can completely hide away all of the annoying Sprint and Samsung apps.

If I rooted this phone, these are the benefits that I think I could realize are: Getting rid of the volume warning (nit), changing my boot animation (nit), Titanium backup (which I don't really need if I'm not constantly loading a new ROM), better ad blocking (nit), the ability to remove unwanted apps (bit of a nit, but it would be beneficial to reclaim the ram and storage space), and probably the biggest - wifi hotspot (which I rarely use, but I will miss if I don't have it).

I'm curious if anyone else thinks this same way about this phone. Are there other serial rooters who are not rooting the S6?
[Galaxy S6 General] Gilg@mesh:
well, first thing I did with my S6 was to load custom recovery and custom ROM :D
[Galaxy S6 General] LGSilva:
Still on the same boat, don't want to trip knox by installing a custom recovery or custom kernel and not knowing what ping-pong root really does is a little worrisome.
[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
When considering whether to root or not your S6, remember that there is a debloat method which doesn't require root: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/safe-to-debloat-s6-threads-t3090383.

I agree with OP: as time passes by and Android evolves there are less and less "serious" reasons to root a phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
Pingpong is pretty safe(warranty wise) and it's easy to reflash your stock rom. I usually never root on first day but now I saw no reason not to.
[Galaxy S6 General] renegade1488:
Having had a rooted phone since the days of cupcake I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I got my Xperia Z2 before it was rootable with a locked bootloader and in those few months I discovered I could live without titanium backup if I wasn't flashing roms left right and centre but I hadn't realised how pervasive ads had become in the mobile world and it was something that really bugged me, as the non-root blocking methods didn't give me much joy, so when root was finally achieved I knew I couldn't live without ad-blocking.

Fast-forward a year and I was holding off the S6 for the precise reason of not being able to root without tripping knox (which given the track record of my S2, S3 & S4 all needing to be repaired under warranty I cannot afford to do), but I ended up getting it thanks to breaking my Z2, with the hope of something like pingpong coming soon enough. This time again I found it painful dealing with the ads again but to add to that there's the frankly rubbish battery in this phone compared with my old Z2, and I was having little joy zapping all the wakelocks until I got root and greenify.

So TLDR, can't live without proper ad-blocking and greenify is essential for the S6 if you actually want to have a reasonable amount of functionality without carrying around a charger.
[Galaxy S6 General] ipaq_101:
As for me, I like rooting so I can remove bloat, freezing an app is not the same as removing it and I can't stand ads. Do what you like, I have never had issues with warranties even with knox tripped. I have had the S, S3, S4, and now the S6 and I have never had to use the warranty, which expires after the first year anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] Gilg@mesh:
well, Samsung offers 2 years warranty, here in Europe anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
I have rooted pretty much every single android phone I have owned and with the superb debloater app I have zero need for root now and unless Samsung do something which is very invasive I cannot see any reason to root in the future,

That and the fact I have heard of stories of ping pong root tripping knox on some devices is worrying.
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:
I rooted every phone which I had on the first day and never had problems with warranty but the phones hasn't knox. My note 3 was rooted too but there wasn't any reason sending to repair.

Now with the s6 I don't need the root.

The Rom is debloated for. There was only Microsoft and Vodafone apps. I use them both so no reason to debloat.

I haven't and wont root this phone. I use adblock browser which gives me a perfect ad free browsing experience. I use zero apps which bombard me with annoying ads I can't ignore, I have plenty of space on my phone, and custom Rom's won't make it faster or more stable or improve battery life so personally there's no point.
[Galaxy S6 General] JCJ77:
I go back and forth with the idea of rooting. Right now, there's no method for my build - so, I want to root. Previously, when there was a method for build - I didn't root. I'm kinda of the similar thought as the OP...is there really a need to root anymore? The majority of the reasons/features we rooted our phones for in the first place are now part of Android. If I do root, it will be to get the maximum benefit out of using Greenify and TB.
[Galaxy S6 General] ZoZo-:
I've rooted all my previous android devices and this is the first phone that I don't feel like I need rooting. I did go through the process with PingPong-root so that I could clean up some apps but after I couldn't get OTA's I went and restored it to factory settings. With Nova Launcher and the ability to inactivate most of the apps I don't use I don't see the need of rooting it just yet.. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Sheldor1967:
I decided that I couldn't live without rooting. Those "Nits" drive crazy and I like the freedom. But I have pretty much decided to not put any custom Roms on. No matter what I end up with bugs that just aren't on the Stock Rom.

Yeah that's the only way I do it. I just root the stock rom and get rid of the ads. Backup my apps with titanium backup. All the usual things that I can't do with a non rooted phone.

My biggest reason I'd consider rooting is AirAudio -> Airport Express devices.

Something like this

Kinda like the effect the S6 has where it changes color depending on where the light hits.

The Xperia Z4 looks like it also has this effect.. I love the effect!

Has anyone spotted any of these?

It's more the back protector I'm looking for, although I've had a mirrored protector previously and it wasn't too bad. There's seems to be a distinct lack of cases and skins for the Z3...

Do you know where I can get a hold of something like this and I will do a review on how it performs in the sunlight.

I'm also from Scotland so sunlight isn't too much of an issue :cool:

Dear Dotan,

I have tried also to intall WM6, the problem that the Hebrew version installed by eyron supports only WM2005.

And the version istalled is an OEM CAB version without any registration.

Eyron do provide a working BETA version, but you have to register as a trial for a week or purchase it - 300 shekels :mad:

The only thing to do is to wait and hope that when Orange offer an upgrade to WM6 it will without any additional cost.

Hope i have answered your quostion.

Dotan.

I have just tryed to install it on an WM Emulator WM5 & WM6 but in both cases it showed Hebrew backwards and it kept on telling me that the software was illegaly installed.

Further it is not Eiron but PDAC (or is it the same?) Strange though... On WM6 it installed succesfully so I presume it is compatible with WM6. Can you see if there is somekind reg key tha tha to be installed?? I also installed the HebrewCert.cab hoping that that would solve the problem but Alais

Let me know if you have any ideas.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] elivne:
guys

PDAC uses an IMEI check, it will always install but only on the TyTN PDAC will authenticate and run.

I know of one test I trust(on a jasjam) - PDAC was not authenticated, you can try.

on WM6 - you`ll need to use the Enabled mode(English UI), I also recommend removing all MUI files(040d.mui) from the windows folder.

the best heb currently for jasjam/tytn is eyron's older beta(not the new one!)

I really think this thread should be on the "freak" forum and not here...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SaarAvigour:
Nope and I was stupid enough to delete mine while upgrading to WM6.

OK....:(

On the Emulator it did not work and told me that the version is unregistered. BUT the good news is that there was nothing said about incompatibility with WM6 so I assume that the Cellcom OEM version is compatible with WM6. So now who has the guts to test it on aWM6 or WM5 machine and see if the registration is Required or not?? I think the prog sees that this is no HERMES device and that is why it keeps asking to register.

Content and app support had no clue what the problem was and I've waited a week and called 4 times now and no solution.

Samsung main device suppport said my only choice is a hard reset to factory default settings.... I haven't tried this yet, mostly because I just got it 3 weeks ago and finally got all my media transferred over and all my customizations/apps.... AHHH
