Samsung Galaxy S5 blinking yellow screen

[Not-Miepje]

Hello

 

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy S5, The problem is when i turn it on (or wake it up) it screen flashes yellow and then goes black, stragely the screen still reacts to me touching it. But ofcourse, i cant do anything cause i cant see anything. Anyone has the same problem and got it fixed?

Hmm thats a new one. I have an S5 that I work with and the biggest issue I have had with it really was the fact that the charger flap broke off so easily. The rest was easily fixable software issues. That sounds like your display isn't properly connected or has been damaged. Has the device taken any falls or damage recently? A video of the devices symptoms might help a bit

I think i found out the issue myself

Í went to developer options and forced it to use 2d GPU acceleration or something like that

after a bit of testing it seems to work.

If that helped then the GPU on the SoC is likely going through failure, I would take time to consider a new device as on a phone, GPU failure is non repairable

I think it isnt faling, but when i tried doing some things in the dev options, i might have unchecked the box for 2d GPU acceleration. Because it now works perfectly fine!

wait did you enable Force GPU rendering where the GPU will render 2D graphics rather than the CPU? If so then I have no clue what could be causing it

That box is by default unchecked, thats how it is on my S5

Well

my phone is in dutch so i dont know the englisgh word but dutch = GPU weergave forceren that roughy translates to Force GPU view

That sounds about right. On my device that box is unchecked by default and it works perfectly. I see no issue in leaving it checked so if it works it works, but something is definitely wrong so I reiterate, ya might want to look into the possibility of a new device. But for all I know it could be a simple kernel issue that, with this fix, wont harm the device. But its hard to tell. Again if it works it works

Have you rooted the device before and if so what, if any, modifications did you make?

hmm, then some sort of hardware issue or possibly and issue with the kernel (unlikely but possible). Maybe try a factory reset from recovery? IF that doesnt work then having it repaired might be a good idea, but I cant say whats damaged

Well, A week ago i did a factory reset. It still didnt work. I have decided to just buy a new phone. Thanks for your time. (Btw the new phone is the iPhone 6)
