[Galaxy S 5 General] don-ruma:
In my research thus far, the AMOLED screen technology is to blame. When the display circuits get old or damaged, they don't sustain current at low power settings. In LED screens, a back light controls brightness, but AMOLED screens send current to each pixel for brightness control. If the circuit is damaged, or any corrosion has built up inside, this could attenuate the current below the point required to sustain light flow. I see this problem with some LED and CFL lights on motion sensor switches. Just enough current goes through the motion sensor to keep it's circuits active, and that current causes a flicker in the light.

With the screen though, since the problem is only resolved when you increase the brightness just a bit above minimum, it seems anything that lowers the display power (auto brightness for example) will cause it to flicker if this setting gets too low. I also noticed that before the screen locks on timer, it dims to low power for a few seconds and flickers as a result. There are apps that attempt to resolve this by putting a translucent black screen over your desktop and apps. This keeps the power up on the pixels but adds a black overlay, kind of like a screen filter. You can adjust the darkness if you need it to save your eyes when reading in the dark but it doesn't help save power any. They also require a rooted device, which could void warranties. The reason for this I believe is because apps are supposed to operate in a way they don't intrude on each other, and a filter that lays over your screen does in fact alter the output of your display rendering. With the added security concerns of these apps possibly collecting screen shots and sending them to another site, I would avoid this. Best to use a physical screen overlay you can put on or remove as needed as long as it doesn't interfere with your touch screen options.

Ultimately, these devices were meant for replacement every 2 to 3 years so if you're like me and you like to make your investment last, best thing to do is apply any work around you can come up with. A repair shop may be able to wipe the circuit boards down with a solution that clears away corrosion, but it won't repair any weakened pixels. I'm still using a Samsung S5 G900F

- And i finally got this fixed. it sounds like the reason for this is that since the latest update your phone cannot decide whether to use hardware or software back light settings. I managed to make the problem go away by doing this:

Go to settings >> system >> About device.

Find "Build number" and click 6 times fast on it.

You will then get the message saying: "You are now a developer"

and then go back to Settings >> system >> Now you will see the "Developer Options"

Now go to Developer options >> Drawing Section or Rendering Section >> Find "Turn off hardware overlays" or "disable hardware overlays" >> This will force the phone to always use GPU for screen adjustments. no more flickering.

but If I turn the brightness ALL the way down, it still flickers like crazy, however, if that's the only time it'll do it, I consider that a win.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Superlion721:
Well, if you find the phone with the features you want with IPS, go for it. But when it comes to flagship phones, it seems that they all converge towards the same screens which are AMOLED. I also mean previous flagships, I buy phones after the buzz, close to half the initial price after the new one comes - I sticked to the S5 as the S6 was not worth the upgrade, as most people here lol.

I put a filter on my screen and I can now use it in the dark with no flickering (anyone can pm me for a good one and a security solution, a simple and very efficient tweak).

Regarding the flickering, it starts slow and but the screen goes crazy with time. It's like my S5 is on a life sentence.

Yes I forgot this screen overlay fix thing, but I wasn't from the lucky batch who got it fixed that way. But everyone should try it, just in case.

Thank you for the reminder.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RootNightmareX:
Already done this things with Disable Hardware Overlays, nothing changed.

The bad thing is that in the beegining i didint liked the flickering at min brightness, now i cant even turn on my phone on when its under 20C.

So for the ones who only have the green flickering, you should consider yourselves lucky, and im not joking.

So last night i was going from CM14.1 to DU7.1.1 and after rebooting i have found this, every screen from off battery status to in android looks like this. I have also restored my cm14.1 backup, and flashed vendor files. I have not been able to recover this. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Hey,

This happens when you turn off the phone and plug the charger, right?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Well, I guess you're able to boot to cm.

Copy these files to /res/images/charger/ with a root file explorer (ES Explorer)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3z-d-0wjZ04SzJmaHFGOHhHNTA/view?usp=drivesdk

Yea lol, was working fine, flashed DU then the vendor, and bam
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Well, try this:

Reboot to TWRP, go to Mout and check system and vendor.

Then in an cmd type this;

adb ls /res/images

check if you can see the "charger folder". if not, reboot and try to place files manually.

adb push /pathToFile/file1.png /res/images/charger

same for the 2nd file.

Then start a shell (adb shell) and type

chmod 740 /res/images/charger/file1.png and the 2nd file.

Take a root explorer and check the permissions (rw- r-- r-- w/ es explorer), then shutdown and try to plug the charger.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
Ok i recently posted about my device being dead and getting a replacement, well i guess it was easier than i thought and they have shipped out a replacement device. The problem is is they read me the terms and in those terms was "if we find any physical or water damage we will charge you $499 unless you send back the replacement and either way they WONT SHIP BACK YOUR DAMAGED DEVICE!!!!" I think that is rediculous. And ok i have a small crack in my lcd that happened a few days before it stopped booting. Ive kept all the factory stickers and screen film on from day one (been waiting for my screen protector) so im sure they will remove the screen film but you cant notice the crack at all, only if you look very very very closely you can see like a darker area along the crack. I have a oem lcd on the way and i was planning on replacing it so i guess my questions are should i send it back as is (do they take it apart and thoughroughly inspect it) or should i replace the lcd (does replacing the lcd require you to take apart the base or just the back screws on the screen?) and if you need to take the base apart is there a way to peel off the void sticker and replace the lcd and then replace the void sticker?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PsyOpWarlord:
Replacing the screen will void the warranty so you might as well just send it as is and see what happens if you want the warranty work done.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
so i would have to start at the base and unscrew the screws around the battery? theres no way to peel off the void sticker?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sneakyp86:
only thing with that is what happens when they find the crack? you lose the phone and have to pay for another phone.I think you might come out better just looking online to buy one and see if you can get the other broken phone to work again,if nothing else you'll have a phone you can use for parts which is more than you'll have if you send the phone in.But its your call if you don't think they'll see it go for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
do they really have the right to keep my original device? i think that is rediculous if i send theirs back they should send mine back...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] met3ora:
Bring it into an AT&T Store and ask them if your scratch will give AT&T the right to keep your device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nimda0:
+1

I agree. Take it in to an authorized AT&T dealer ahead of time and have them check the damage.

If they say it's screwed up and AT&T would keep your phone, then you know your options.

Personally, i wouldnt even ask them about it. I'd just take my phone in with the ****ed up LCD and see if you can get someone in the store to replace the LCD for you. Tell them you will pay for them to replace it so the phone will stay under warranty. See if that works?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dawa259:
Don't take it to a authorized dealer becuase they have know idea what there taking about. Take it to a AT&T corporate store, because they work for AT&T.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nimda0:
exactly. that's what i'd do.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
ok so ive heard back from htc, they quoted me that the mobo would be replaced under warranty but the lcd/housing would cost $192 (they also stated the housing of the phone needed to be replaced because "its such a tight fit that they need to break it to get the lcd out" and thats just crap!) I told the guy that that does not need to happen and im sure of that so he sent a request back to the techs to see what can be done if the phone can be sent out wit the replaced mobo and the broken lcd still inside (as i can still use the device its only a small crack). He stated that they need to replace the lcd for the purpoe of running the tests to make sure the mobo is fine so it can be covered under their 90day parts warranty. Any advice on what to say? Dont i have the right to get MY property back (the broken lcd) as is. They never stated anywhere that they would have to keep the broken parts by policy..

[XDA Assist] shrouwoods:
I have a Verizon branded Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I rooted the phone. Later, I was trying to make some adjustments to the radio antennas and the phone hard bricked. I cannot factory reset or anything like that. I believe the bootloader is locked because I cannot load anything from the SD card or any other options.

I have tried re-flashing to the stock ROM using QPST Configuration, but it fails every time saying that the "Write failed" (as in no write access).

Part of the issue was that my phone would not be recognized in the COM port of the device manager; this was the problem that was not allowing me to make the radio adjustments. When I tried to get around this, that is when the phone bricked.

Are there any methods to re-flash a Verizon branded phone that is bricked and has this write access issue?

Thank you!

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

ALL BUILDS HERE(ANDROIDFILEHOST)8

Full Changelog link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70192154&postcount=3

​

SAME AS CM14.1

​

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

KERNEL:

Kernel in this rom follows CM source with custom additions.

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM and OTA app, but only to download zip file and flash it manually from within recovery. Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

If you want to contribute to the AICP or wanna see what is being worked on/merge feel free to visit our gerrit, link is at the bottom!!!
