Did you try to root your phone

Because it happened to me 1 day after the root
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Altomugriento:
Not root related, or any you can possibly do to force this error

Is a hardware issue, and sorry, you need a replacement

Unfortunately until now I didn't fix it because there is no A/S in my area and now one can repair it
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wholow:
mine started doing this periodically after i fumbled it

a temporary fix is giving it a quick tap dead center of the screen then it snaps right to normal

its at least a band-aid for now ill let you know if i find real issue when i open her up
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] n1234d:
I had the exact same problem a few days ago. Your display connector has come loose. It'll periodically make contact and refresh the left side of the screen, or if you press or twist the phone a certain way. If you are comfortable opening your phone it's a very very simple fix. Just pop off the back cover, remove the battery connector (for safety), pop the screen connector back on, replace the battery connector, and Voila!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Howie Dub:
Same thing happened on my old LG G2. It fell at a particular angle and knocked the display connector out. Screen would either be full snow, with lines down it, or blank. When I pressed hard on the screen, it would come back, but fuzz up when I let go. Open it up and saw the display connector was dislodged; popped it back in and screen went back to normal. Axon 7 seems a bit harder to open up. Just watched a teardown video and it seems the display connector is on the power button side of the screen. Maybe try pressing on that side and see if you can push the connector back in. Otherwise, n1234d's advice is the best way to do it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] n1234d:
This is a lazy fix but could be bad for your phone, if you push the connector when it's even slightly misaligned, you risk damaging the connector either on the screen side or the board. Opening the phone takes a little time but IMO is safer.

Few tips for opening your phone:

Use a hair dryer/hear gun for the speaker grilles, without those, try as you may, you wont get them off

Make initial separation in the grilles with a metal tool, the gap is too small for a plastic tool to enter. After initial separation, make sure you use plastic

When you're prying the grilles open, make sure you insert your tool sideways and pry upwards, you don't want to poke a hole in your awesome front firing speakers

On the bottom there is adhesive over the two screws towards the middle, push it upwards, don't let it stick to your screwdriver or you'll pull off bits

When prying the screen off, insert your metal tool between the metal and white plastic at an angle parallel to the phone, then turn it upwards till you get it perpendicular, and then sideways again, parallel. That'll help you get some separation. Do this all around the phone and the back should come off after some gentle pulling out.

The only way ZTE will ever know you were in your phone is if you mess up the adhesive under the speakers, so be careful with it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Howie Dub:
It's a non-invasive fix. There is so little space in these phones that more than likely the connector moved just enough not to be fully connected to the motherboard. If tapping on the screen is working for some, then pressing in the right area to push the connector back in might be all it takes. You're going to have to take the phone apart or send it in anyways; might as well try something to see if you can avoid those things and won't void your warranty. Taking apart your phone is just as risky. Many more things can go wrong when you take it apart. And good luck putting your phone back the same way if you have to use a heat gun to get some of the parts off. My suggestion was for those who don't want to take it apart or have the tools to.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] n1234d:
To each their own, Sir. ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dowleey:
I think replacing screen that is the final solution :crying:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] n1234d:
Your screen isn't bad, your connector is loose

This just happened to me last night. Fell out of my pocket. Hit it a few times with my palm and it's OK now. :laugh
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wholow:
Better late then never

Haha as I'm sure most of us do when a band-aid works that well I put off fixing the real issue the right way... Even when it turned out to be the easiest repair I've done to date... And risk of accidentally damaging you device is relatively low

Similar to procedure above(thanks n1234d) but with some improvising and let's call it swagger haha

•Start with phone powered down

•leave phone in the sun for 5 min

•(easiest way to deal with glue)

•speaker grills pry of so easily now you'll laugh

•dont lose the little camera glass it's not stuck down to well

•now remove the two screw on top of phone

• then the four screws on the bottom

•(two are hidden under the strip of dust cover fabric you just have to feel for the recesses navigation buttons are and move toward the charging port)

•once all 6 screws are removed start prying the phone apart at the bottom and move towards the top

•it should just pop apart as you near the top

•there is a flex cable that connects the fingerprint scanner to the other side but as long as you haven't watched "pumping iron" in the last month or so your not going to tear it apart

•the LCD connector runs vertically​ along the side just under the dual SIM slot

• mine was ridiculously​ obvious which one it was it wasn't even partially connected it was just floating there

•now just snap it together from top to bottom (hint hold the phone so the volume rocker and power button are toward the ground and sim slot is looking to the ceiling)

•replace the 6 screws

•and if glue is still warm the speaker guards just snap back in and stay down pretty well

•might want to clean up the front facing camera lens and speakers grill holes mine were mostly packed with a year's worth of I don't want to know

Whole thing too me 5 minutes with no special tools

Just sunlight, #0 phillips, a razor blade to start the pry, and a old gift card cut into a "triangle tool" or "guitar pick" if you will

Later then promised but hope it still helps someone

Fixed Whit a smack on my steering wheel.

Same thing happened to mine after co-worker dropped it, I hit a bit hard against my steering wheel and the 1/2 of the screen that was messed up got fixed, this might be a problem like the one sumsung TV's had a few year ago where components inside them work being unsoldered by the heat of the electronic them selves, black lines would develop some people could fix that by hitting them or applying heat using a heat gun which would make solder stick to the chips again. Does anyone know if this would be covered under axon's warranty?

Temporary fix

I had the same problem twice: once when it was quite warm at home (about 31 degrees celsius - very warm but not extreme), and the second time when I dropped the phone from about 40 cm (it had the factory case on).

The second time the screen problem didn't go away even after 12 hours, and then I found a fix somewhere on reddit: squeeze the phone (with two fingers, one on each side) at the center and about 1 cm from the right side - not gently but also not hard. This worked at least for me, but anyway I will return it so maybe Axon can apply a more "permanent" fix, like some glue on the screen connector.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yoyomin:
My wife's phone was having same issue randomly. I opened it up and found out that the screen cable was completely detached. I'm very surprised that the screen was even working before. Anyways a simple fix, snapped it back and the issue went away.

One thing to remember is to remove the sim card tray before taking the phone apart. It may sound obvious but I almost cracked the tray before realize that I forgot to take it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Donna5:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ed-m:
My wife and I have both had this problem on our phones. Even though we have them in protective cases this problem occurs after "gentle" drops. So, two phones both had this problem ... they are delicate.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CLowe9582:
Mine had exactly the same problem but it went away after 5 minutes or so.

In the same afternoon a thin green line appeared down the right hand side of the phone. In the last two nights two additional thicker white lines have appeared on the right also. Still likely to be a loose flex cable? I've had bad experiences trying to repair phones in the past but this does look fairly straightforward to fix. How easy is it to get the speaker grilles to stick back on?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Mine does this every time I drop it. I just squeeze it a little and it goes away. If it ever gets worse I will open it up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CLowe9582:
Squeezing it seems to have no effect. I'll probably have to open it up.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rs71:
hello, I was extremely disappointed to face this screen problem on my axon 7 . however on reading these solutions for the fix and the thought of opening the phone seemed very fearful so i applied an alternate way to fix the issue.

using heat

i got hold of my wife's hairdryer and applied heat all over the phone starting with the front side glass( i do have the glass protector applied on it and it did not make any difference to the protection)and the finally to the back of the phone when the instrument was hot to touch all over i applied pressure to the area mentioned (to the center of the screen slightly above the power button )i could not touch the phone directly so i used a kitchen towel to apply gentle pressure and voila the phone was fixed i also kept it in the fridge to cool it back down. :)

note : be gentle when applying pressure and the back dise heats faster than the front side therefore i started with the front side first.

hope this method helps somebody
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
why did you heat it though? Good for you if it worked, but it makes zero sense, since the connector is just snapped into the motherboard. heating the back panel or the screen wouldn't do anything really
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pabhilekh:
Went to my nextdoor mobile shop, paid him 3 dollars and he opened my phone. Too many screws man. Phone was on all the while. He tightened the display connection. All done.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kant1:
Same issue here. I was very sad, the LCD replacement was a bit expensive and the phone is hard to disassemble but I've already done it with other phones many, many time so I've checked how to disassemble it and... saw where was the connector in the video.

I though "maybe I can press..." I almost broke my screen by pressing on it and ... TADAAA !

I was so proud of myself and now I see it here... Like everybody tried it... Feeling less proud :laugh: :eek:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AlphaDivxMovies:
Out of a sudden my Axon 7 G version started turning off the screen without warning or order to do so and when it is off it will randomly turn the screen on. Tested the sensors and they are ok, even did a factory reset. It works well for about ten minutes after a reboot then it goes into this madness making the phone unusable. I think it is software (B10, 7.1.1 Mi Favor 4.2) because when it does that it shows a previous lock screen image . Turnin ZTE locker on or off does nothing to help might the connector loose be the reason?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bozoboy22:
Same
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] heykosmo:
I had this happen a couple times, but it fixed itself. Finally found a fix, press down on right side of screen. Seems some loose connection. This worked the one time I tried it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] spix123:
I think its caused by cold weather which results in pcb flex that either makes the cable slightly loose temporarily or puts stress on some weak solder joints
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
it's not lol. it's a simple snap connector that has a tiny rubber pad on top of it to keep pressure, and it's not enough to keep it in place after a fall. After it goes loose it will start acting up in different ways (half screen static, all goes black, lines, etc)

Think about it. Your CPU usually reaches 90°C (or even more if you disable thermals). Don't you think you would end up without any screen output every time the phone got hot if this was the case?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] spix123:
A phone I got off ebay had this issue. It was cold when I took it out the box and had the half screen right away. I tried clicking in the connector it would work for a while but happen again if it was dropped from like 1cm height onto a table, then it heated up from use and hasn't happened again. If you google this issue it happens on alot of other phones (most with amoled screens) and people have proven its caused by cold weather by putting it in the fridge to recreate the issue, and you can see most complaints are during winter. Clicking the connector might seem to be the fix because the entire pcb is in that area and putting pressure on it is counteracting the pcb flex caused by temperature expansion/contraction. The pcb flex could also make the connector more likely to become loose, if you look at the axon 7 pcb there is no screws on the pcb near the connector, most other phones have screws and/or plates keeping the screen connector secure. Its just my suspicion anyway from my experience and googling. Either way its a design flaw which is exacerbated by cold temperature, the pcb needs more screws to prevent flexing and the connector should be more secure.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
If what you say happens, then it's another problem, probably unrelated. People here took their phones apart and found the connector unsnapped, so we know this is a problem lol.

ZTE decided to put screwed connector holders on the battery and USB ribbon cables but not on the screen, and it's proven to be a problem. I don't think the PCB flexes as much as you say it does, especially seeing that it is made to have about 17ppm of thermal expansion (around the same as copper), but I guess it can be caused by any number of factors including bad BGA soldee
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] spix123:
I'm not denying its caused by the connector coming loose, I'm saying its more likely to become loose in cold weather. I'm 100% certain of that. Before the phone reached room temperature the issue would come back every time it was dropped from any kind of height, after leaving it heat up I can now do the same drop without it happening again. I didn't do anything else different, only thing was the phone not being cold.

Compared to many other phone pcbs I have seen, the screen cable on the Axon 7 is very poorly secured and along with there being no screws on the pcb in that area, its not surprising this issue exists. There is just some sponge on the back cover but this is clearly not putting enough pressure to keep it secure. The pcb flex can still be very minor but its just enough to make the connector become unseated easily.

If you doubt me just google axon 7 half screen, all the posts are in Winter, Feb Jan Jan Dec Nov. All solved by clicking in the cable area. The ones I see not in winter were confirmed not caused the loose cable as they opened it up to confirm. This tells me the connector is more likely to become loose in winter and if it happens in warmer temperatures its likely not the connector but some other kind of damage.

u can go the thread i showed u in the previous few post then download the 1.4.1 CAB file then use the ActiveSync provided by O2 and transfer the file over to ur xda AtomLife place it like My Documents or something. Then using your xda AtomLife click on start-> Programes-> File Explorer by then u should be at your My Document directory of ur device then look for the file and tab on it. It will install the file remember to allow if prompted with some sercurity thingy after it is done just restart to be save and ur xda AtomLife. Then TouchFlo is ready to use so you need to active it manually by going to start->Programes you will see the touchflo there just tab on it, it should work by then. Hope this is useful to u.

Beyond that, you are looking at apps that will simply lock an app but won't hide it. Something like Norton App Lock. Not as good, but better than nothing.

Unfortunately, I found Norton App Lock wouldn't work with LastPass, so that was a bit of a problem for me.
