I was wondering if anyone has had this happen before? I was just on my Captivate checking a few apps out and then all of a sudden the screen froze for a few seconds and all the icons disappeared and only the wallpaper was left displayed. During that time I was tapping the screen and whatnot wondering what happened and it stayed frozen like this for maybe 30 seconds before it finally came back to life, but I then noticed that whatever icons were displayed on the left side of the status bar turned grey and also when I pull down the menu from the bar it is also grey in color now.
Also I've noticed that the settings menu seems greyer as well. Does anyone have a way to fix this and bring the color back as the grey looks pretty crappy. I'm using Darky's 9.2 rom right now.
Edit: now that I'm looking at it more, it seems like ALL of the menus in all my apps now are greyed. Where before it use to be in color now everything is a dull grey?!
Can anyone help please??
Master Reset. Something (maybe a messed up app?) screwed up the graphics of your phone so if just restarting (... you DID try turning it off and back on, right?) doesn't work then just back up and master reset.
I'm guessing that you have tried rebooting, but if not try that. If that doesn't work flash to stock using Odin and if it still isn't fixed then try to get a replacement.

Yesterday morning I noticed something strange with the home screen on my desire. The problem doesn't occur on any other of my screens. I hope somebody might be able to help.
The problem - at the very bottom of the screen there is a black rectangle between the white phone icon on the left and the white web icon on the right. See Pic labelled 3. I appreciate its difficult to see but the other photos are better.
The problem appears to be linked to the notification bar. I'm using launcher pro and I'm hiding the notification bar. I have it so when I swipe the app icon the notification bar becomes visible. However, since this morning when I reveal the notification bar with a swipe of the app icon the black rectangle at the bottom moves up and becomes more obvious? See pics labelled 1 and 2. Its almost like an overflow of the notification bar from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The black rectangle only appears on one screen. I updated extended controls app yesterday. However, I didn't uninstall before updating and my phone went a bit funny. So I uninstalled it and installed it and everything was fine.
Last night I went to use a post it widget. But the widgets had vanished? Even though I have the app installed. So I uninstalled and installed. But again the widgets have disappeared again?
The the extended control app is unusable today . I have emailed the makers of extended controls but haven't heard anything from them yet.
I have turned the phone on and off a couple of times but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone had this issue with orange colored "bars" at the bottom and sometimes side of your screen? The stock colors on the S3 are a light blue. For instance, if you are in your messaging app and scroll to the bottom, try to "overscroll" and you will see the light blue bar that I am talking about. It is polished and nice. However, after flashing the AOSP mms apk for TW, I have these orange nasty bars instead, and they flicker a bit. Something in the flash went wrong. I tried reverting to stock TW messaging apk, and it still does it. I cleared all caches, fixed permissions, etc, but it is still there. I know a fresh wipe and install would fix it (CleanRom 5.6), but I really don't feel like doing that. Any suggestions?
Here is a screen shot.
Hey!
Totally new to Samsung phones. Flashed Google Pixel Edition and played around. Found something called Good Lock which seemed to look a bit more like the Resurrection Remix notification slider that Im used to.
Downloaded an APK for it and installed, rebooted and had some sort of small crash. Now I dont notice any change except that the icon that indicates vibrate mode has changed place from the right to the left side.
On the lock screen, this icon is placed to the right like it was from the start, but when I unlock it appears on the left.
I have xposed and flat style bar, when i access the settings for positioning there, everything appears normal. No indication that vibrate icon is placed to the left.
Any ideas?
Just got an S7 about a month ago, and it's all been smooth-sailing until this morning.
I was browsing through my gallery when I noticed a transparent bar at the top of the screen, where the Status Bar usually is (The Status Bar is hidden in the Gallery app when viewing pictures). This bar is consistent throughtout all apps on the phone, including on the home screen, and the notification bar. It's a different shade to the rest of the phone, with the look of the image "behind" the bar being distinctly different from that of the rest of the screen. I really don't know how to describe it. This is driving me crazy, because it's a new phone and I'm not sure if this is issue is software-related (an overlay of some sort) or a problem with the actual screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: The phone has been dropped once, but it wasn't major enough to cause something like this to happen (I think).
EDIT: The transparent bar is exactly the same size as the status bar.
Sounds like burn-in, nothing you can do other than replace the screen
Happens to Amoled screens when you leave the same image in the same place on the screen for extended lengths of time / high brightness
It's what screensavers were designed for PCs back in the days of green screens
Sounds an awful lot like what happened to my moms phone recently and it took me a few minutes to figure it out. Maybe you accidentally took a screenshot and made that your wallpaper. So see if changing the wallpaper makes it go away.

OP says the bar is showing even inside of apps
I have asked in the original thread how to fix this issue since December but no one has replied. Does anyone know how to fix this issue with the modified launcher? The white Halo appears after a reboot. It goes away once you update the launcher and uninstall. The yellow screen in the settings never goes away.
Never seen something like that sorry

I tried to make my screen look like yours and was not able to get it exactly the same...but I wonder if you have a certain combination of conflicting settings going on here? When you go to settings > system > Accessibility... there are two settings in here called Color correction, and Color inversion. Using these with a light, or dark theme and having night mode with a manual screen color calibration under the display settings could render your screen yellow. Is it only the settings screen that is that yellow or is there any other "white" screens that look yellow? Also, the highlight color can be changed to whatever you want which would make the lettering red as it is on your settings screen. So, my suggestion would be to go through all these various settings to see if somehow things got all screwed up. YMMV
