Over the last week or so my L4 has developed a touchscreen problem it will freeze and become unresponsive untill I lock it and unlock it it is starting to happen more often now can anyone help me resolve this issue thank you
I've already had my SD card out my phone it makes no difference I've also done a factory reset of my device that didn't work I've tried safe mode to find out if it was an app I downloaded I have tried everything you can think of and nothing has worked only thing I've not been able to do is update my firmware and security I know there an update for my phone but my phone say its up to date
Hello,I have the new XZ model and since last week I have strange problem with the display when making a call. The display goes black and nothing can. make it active, I even cannot close the ringing until the operator stops or something suddenly happens. It happens from time to time. I don't have protector to think this can make that problem. I checked the proximity sensor and it works. The version of the android is the last 7.0. I appreciate your help.
It's good to know that you are downloading from the Play Store, just know that even though it comes from the Play Store, third-party apps can still cause issues on any device they are loaded on Play Store or not.
I am sorry to inform you that even I put the phone in a safe mode, the problem occured again twice: 1.When started to make a call - the screen again went black; 2.After I received a call and ending it from the calling side the screen again was black after that.
Straight when somebody is calling me/ or im making the call screen goes black, if you press the power button I think two times you can barelly see that the screen is very dark, so you can hit "end call " button. But not every time this is possible.
I think I've found the fix. It seems to be an issue with the Android TV software in the Sony Bravia TV. I had my TV set to Update Automatically, but it seems that wasn't really the case. You have to manually update the Android TV software by going to the TV's home screen, Settings, Device Settings, About, System Update, Update Manually. After doing that, I can finally watch Apple TV+ with a 4K stream without glitches.
I had trouble at first finding how to force the relevant software update. My Sony Bravia (model KD65A1, purchased March 2018)is a Google one and last year I could not even install the Apple TV app. It wasn't offered in the Google store. Then in January this year I discovered it was now available and so installed it to be able to watch Bad Sisters. When it was unwatchable I, I searched for help and stumbled upon this thread, and by switching to SD only was at least able to watch the series with minimal picture problems.
I thought my TV was set to automatic software updates, so when I checked last week to see if problems had been resolved by an update (as other writers had found) and discovered they weren't, I was puzzled.
Looks like the issue might have stemmed from Apple/Google compatibility issues perhaps. And in future I will check for software updates manually rather than assuming Sony will supply them automatically.
having the same problem! I've watched Ted Lasso in what I wouldn't even describe as pixels, just coloured blurbs interspersed with video for 5 episodes now. Reminds me of streaming bad quality videos in the days of torrent
Many thanks to behickey for pointing out that Update Automatically doesn't always do what is implied and that a manual update to the latest appropriate firmware for your Sony Bravia may fix the Apple TV pixel problem - it fixed mine. Here is my story. My Sony TV is a KD-75x780f (2018 model from Costco). Step 1 - Hit HELP button on Sony remote. The existing software version appears on the upper right of the screen underneath the model number. Mine was PKG6.6555xxxx. Write that down. Step 2 - Using the internet, navigate to Sony.com. Step 3 - Choose Business & Products. Step 4 - Choose Electronics. Step 5 - Choose Consumer Electronics. Step 6 - Choose TV & Home Theater. Step 7 - Choose Smart TVs. Step 8 - Choose Product Technical Support. Step 9 - Search for KD-75x750f (obviously you would search for your model). After Step 9 I was at the KD-75x780f Model Support Page. Step 10 - navigate to the Downloads tab. Appearing on my laptop, once I hit the download tab, was a Firmware Update v6.7220. There was an option to view all applicable models for this Update and mine was among them. Step 11 - download the update file. Step 12 - follow the instructions on the download page for methods to manually install the update.
Remember the number you wrote down in Step 1? PKG6.6555xxxx (for me). The new downloaded software for my TV was PKG6.7220xxxx. Because my current software was clearly out of date I used the USB method to update my software (it is described on the download page). It was pretty simple. I copied the downloaded update from my laptop to a USB thumb drive. I plugged the USB thumb drive into the back of my TV. The TV recognized the drive and did the rest. The software update took about 20 minutes. Afterwards when I hit the HELP button on the remote the software version displayed as PKG6.7220xxxx.
Actually. thinking about this again -pixellated is probably the wrong word because that just implies a drop in picture quality but a discernable picture still remains. This problem is more like parts of the picture turning to random noise. It looks almost like a screen refresh/stream compression problem because the messed up part (which could be say the bottom half of the screen) will stay messed up until a movie scene changes and an entire picture refresh is forced. Not a very technical description but I am trying to say that this problem makes AppleTV unwatchable. I am currently on a free trial, so I won't be paying for AppleTV at the end of the trial period.
This is happening to me too on a Sony TV. Even with the SD workaround, the pixellation makes stuff unwatchable. I have several other streaming services working without a problem so there is nothing wrong with my set-up. This is indeed a major and embarrassing problem with Apple TV. I am surprised there isn't more about this on the Internet.
I witnessed something similar. The video is sharp for a moment, then gets more and more glitchy over a few seconds, then gets sharp again. It looks like a compression issue, which gets reset anytime a new keyframe comes in.
Trailers and previews work fine, but the shows are a ghosty pixelated mess. Updating the TV software doesn't work. Nothing works. Dropping the resolution to SD makes it work but it looks rubbish and I don't want to watch SD content. Absolute shambles. Can't believe Apple put this app out.
Only yesterday a number of horizontal lines appeared on my TV screen, only the lower 1/3 portion of the screen though. They intermittently flicker between 1/3 of the screen having visible lines to only the top three of four lines.
4: Applied pressure along the edges of the TV where the lines appear - No change, the lines are still visible, no distortion to them. Although this might seem strange I read somewhere that if there is a loose connection along the LCD connectors applying pressure might confirm this is the lines change with the application of pressure.
This is usually a ribbon cable that leads from the LCD to the main video board that for whatever reason has unseated some of its contacts...if you feel brave enough and think it's worth reseating the cable...make sure it's switched off from the mains...put the tv face down on a duvet or bed...remove all the rear screws and spcables and prise of rear panel....look for the main cable that comes from the LCD and trace where it connected to the video board...disconnect one end at a time and check for oxidation on the contacts...and reseat....thus usually cures thus type of problem...if it doesn't then the next likely area of cause will be the video board itself....these are modular and you can either source the exact board from eBay or source a broken screen version if the same tv..and use it for donor..bits..or chance your arm and get a quote from a tv repairer or bite the bullet and by another set..I know some the answers are pretty obvious...but I am sure you will gain more of an idea from what's been said .
I recognize that this is an old question. Horizontal lines are almost exclusively caused by failed Gate drivers on the panel. They are part of the panel and can not easily replaced (requires special equipment). You can always check the small ribbon cables that connect from the driver board (part of the panel) to the LCD panel itself. Those flat ribbon cables are bonded to the panel. Push on the ribbon cable that corresponds to the location of the line. If that line changes or disappears it is a failed bond. Should the line be unchanged it is the actual gate driver for that region which has failed. this is not a board failure, but a panel issue.
Hello there! I had the same issue with my Sony Bravia Tv and I found a solution on my tv manual. Check your tv coax cable and remove it. If that resolved the issue meaning you need to change coax. If your coax is rated 300 ohm, used 75 ohm instead. So far, i dont get the line anymore!
One thing you might want to try is give the TV a few wacks on the back. Just lightly hit the Tv a few times on the back all around, and see if that fixes your issue. if it happens to, or when doing it you see the lines go away but come back right after you hit it, it could be a loose connection, If it doesnt, report back and we will explore other options.
