Unresponsive black screen

[The flying cactus]

I'm kind of having the same problem but my screen will I guess glitch or flicker on and then go black. I have a galaxy s5. I've been having to pop the battery out and put it back in over and over until I could get the screen to pull up.

My phone has gone black screen in a week. I was simply using Twitter when the screen froze, and the phone shut itself off. I've tried literally everything, every button combination possible, and nothing has worked. I'm currently just leaving it on the charger to see if that helps. Any other suggestions?

So, I have had my Galaxy S7 Edge for about two months now. A day or two ago, whilst laying in bed and watching a film, my device suddenly turned to black screen. I noticed that even the sound of the film got stopped. As I was surely starting to freak out could see that both the capacative 'back'button and 'recent'button lit up. Then, while trying to see if the volumebuttons did anything, I noticed that they made a sound. As the device usually does when changing the ringer volume.
While trying to keep calm I started fiddling around with it. Then suddenly, when tilting the S7edge's display upwards, the display lit up again and worked perfectly. I then stopped to wonder for a minute and tried to redo the sudden problem. As the display lit up with it being tilted upwards I tried tilting the display down. And just like I thought, the displayed went black again.

This also happened the next night as I was laying down and playing Clash Royale. While in the main screen, of Clash Royale, the display went black. I tried pressing different parts of the display to see if the game would apprehend the touches. Amazingly it did. I kept touching where I know I had an unopened chest in game. As you know, if you play Clash Royale, the chest makes sounds when touching it. And just as before, the display turned back on when tilting it upwards.

So what I sum up from this ridicoulus problem is that that perhaps the setting for blocking accidental unlocks may be the cause. So, I switched the setting off. But the problem still hangs on. So what I believe is that there may be a serious issue with a sensor. I was thinking of going back to the retailer that I purchased the S7E from today after work. Maybe I could get some help there...

And of course, the holding down 'power' and 'volume down' button combination works as the device isn't really frozen, blocked/bricked or whatever, the device will obviously restart when doing a hard reboot. The issue will not get solved by this. It only helps getting the display back on because, as i believe, of the sensors getting restarted.

I have been a android fan since the G1 came out. This is the first time I had an issue with any of my smart phone. My S7 edge is also with a black screen and and once in a while it will flicker on for a few min then it would go black again. then ringer works and I hear the notifications. I already reset my phone to factory and did updates when my phone suddenly out of the blue turns back on again. But still the same... a black screen. I tried all the tricks from you tube. at first it worked, but then after a few times it stopped working.

Note: the screen came on again when it was about 8% battery again so right away I went to my car and paired it to my phone through bluetooth. after charging it again... it went black. but I still tried to use the bluetooth in my car and it works.

I just hope that "SAM SUNG" will figure this out right away because I am a die hard fan!! I do not want to buy an iphone 7plus because I will just be very disappointed! Please PLEASE do an update or something!!!!!!

This happens to me several times a week. I do the restart (Power, Volume DOWN, and Home) until the phone reboots. It's a pain in the ***. The phone I have now is actually a replacement because the first S7edge I had wouldn't update the PRL/Profile, and it would give me the black screen of death. This one just gives me the black screen of death.
It's weird though, because my husband has the same phone as I do, and this doesn't happen to him.
Are you running the touch wiz launcher?
I am currently running Nova Launcher.

I've been suffering with this problem for a few months, getting the black screen problem several times a day.

I switched off App Power Monitor and it's stopped happening. I'd be interested to see if this works for other users.
