New WM 6.5 ROM on starting uses only blue and yellow in v low resolution.
Display technically OK - shows 3 colours on bootloader, and on Hardware Info it says 64k colours - just legible in its 2 lo-res colours.
After some duration 5-15min, using screen off/on h/w button, display suddenly clears to full colour and display resolution.
Free storage 169.15MB, free program 67.12MB, no change with cleanRAM.

Ideas? -and thanks in advance
This is most probably faulty lcd screen, so you might have to replace it with a new one.
Thank you, yes, tho it's odd that this onset only after flashing (and there was no mechanical damage).
Have clarified that switching screen off at any stage in the start-up will resolve it (gives normal screen) so I'll not try buying a new screen just yet.
May it be relevant that the first flash was interrupted by my PC's BSOD (first in months!); perhaps a voltage spike damaging a memory address?
Have you tried flashing it with the same rom, or the origional, to check if it is a faulty system file?
No, I'm nervous about flashing it again in case there was some hardware damage to video locations of memory during the BSOD - is that possible?
Have more detail on the fault sequence after soft-reset:
1. "smart mobility" logo displays normally (white text , black background) for 3s
2. red pixels disappear from this logo when Device ID data displays in red at lower R corner.
3. HTC splash screen displays in v low res in blue & yellow without red
4. start-up proceeds to desktop, display no change - unless
5. power off-on anytime after splash screen seems to re-start the display in full res and normal colours.
Sorry for delayed reply due to holiday....
fixed
fixed by flashing an early HTC ROM
perhaps others can understand why?

Hi all,
I have noticed that my screen seems to get the burn effect at the bottom (where the menu is in TouchFLO) most the time its not really noticeable until you slide the keypad. It dissapears if the phones been off for a while but considering the phone goes into standby and the screen doesnt stay on dont really know why this is happening.
Would you consider RMA'ing? just cant really do without the phone
I think I have noticed the same thing... it's a bug, not a hardware issue... try to softreset the phone and then look closely to that area
Same here
indeed, soft reset works. There is also an uglier version of screen distortion - when I browse to internet page that contains many flash applets (displayed by Adobe Flash Lite plug) Then I have a full screen flooding/chaotic/psychedelic (maybe more adjectives ) effect similar to my pre-previous laptop with broken lcd cables. I can stop it by turning off screen/suspending by the top button and turning it on again. It might appear then again but usually doesn't. Weird, not a problem for me though.
Hi everyone,
After I dropped my phone I had to change the display.
Only after I've changed the screen another problem surfaced: the screen becomes unresponsive (like it enters slowly in sleep mode) and pink lines apear.
The display is OK since I reinstalled the ROM twice and the install screen work without fail.
It looks loke an overheating problem.
Has someone else seen this behavior?
Thank you!
seems you have installed screen not correctly, I mean the ribbon has a small amount of circuitry and components. did you check those?
When installing and configuring Android there is no problem, just after it starts the problem begins.
So my T-Mobile Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N915T) running rooted Android 5.1.1 just encountered the infamous green screen seen. The first time, the green screen disappeared after entering sleep mode and waking up, then about 5 minutes later, the green screen stayed, even after a full reboot (even the Samsung bootup animation, download mode, and TWRP were tinted, so I think we can rule out software issue). The phone was still navigable and usable, just with a serious heavy green tint, curiously, the phone would change between the heavy green tint and a grey tint, and the tint would stay on the upper 30% of the phone and turn grey as it entered sleep mode, almost as if the phone was trying to correct the display or something was barely making contact inside the phone.
Then the green tint got more intense, I could make out the basic background, the fingerprint scanner let me past the lockscreen, and the S-Pen sounds would still play when the S-Pen was removed, inserted, and when the screen was touched. Additionally, my PC does not pick up the Note Edge, yes I have the Windows drivers installed, USB debugging enabled, and MTP + ADB enabled via the secret menu in the dialer. Also OTG is down, my mouse and keyboard are receiving power, but no longer recognized.
Now, after another reboot, the phone is stuck in a bootloop, with the Samsung and T-Mobile sounds playing over and over again, there is a green tint when the Samsung logo should be playing, but a dark screen (as in, AMOLED off) when the T-Mobile animation should be playing.
The phone can't even properly boot into download or recovery mode anymore.
The phone wasn't exposed to heat or pressure, it was just charging off an ASUS power brick and a LG microUSB cable (and was relatively cool, not hot).
The phone was bought second hand, KNOX is tripped, and well past the warranty period.
So my questions for everyone here:
-Any idea what the problem is? GPU failure? Bad solder? Short circuit? Screen failure?
-Any hope? I heard someone else was able to get rid of the green screen after freezing the phone, but at the same time, I don't want to risk condensation inside the phone if I don't have to, and if it was melted solder from some sort of charging issue, heating the phone would probably be a better solution.
While I do have backup phones and and a backup of all my files in case something like this happened, I'm going to miss the curved edge and the S-Pen, and I don't want to take the phone to a 3rd party repair shop, considering you can buy an used functional Note Edge for less than the price of a replacement display, besides, the new Note 7 looks nice.
Anything that hasn't been mentioned above would be helpful... Thanks
UPDATE:
Now the screen doesn't turn on anymore, it flashes green when turned on, but remains dead. The T-Mobile sound still plays, and the motor rumbles for a second, but the fingerprint scanner and S-Pen rumbles and sounds are no longer responsive notification light pulses between white and blue.
Attempting to boot into download or recovery mode yields 2 seconds of green screen, then the T-Mobile boot up sound.
UPDATE 2:
Phone boots properly now judging by the fingerprint scanner responding and S-Pen sound, touch screen also seems to be functional based on S-pen cancel sound, but screen is now completely black, is it safe to assume a screen failure/damage?
Hey,
I was replacing my screen, when I went to test it instead of the google logo I got a fully green screen, the phone booted, but continued to be green. The always on display looks exactly as it should. Once it was fully on, I managed to put my pin in blind and the phone all works fine (it seems), and some black gets through, I assume the screen turns off those pixels which is why maybe that shows up correctly(ish).
The interesting thing is, I did at one point have to working fully, full colour, this was between reconnecting the ribbon cable and restarting, but I pressed the power button to sleep it and then hit it again and if I remember correctly was green again. So that made me think "poor connection" of come kind. What's even more strange is that when it is green and I press the power button to sleep and wake, the screen appears at least to display the full colours at the end and begging of their animations respectively. Maybe its not full colour, but at least it's more visible.
The final thing is when I go into the bootloader, sometimes it's full colour, and others it's got the solid green effect where black isn't displayed. What's odd is, even when the bootloader is showing correctly as soon as start is click it goes to a full green screen again and we don't see the logo at all. Also I managed to get into safe mode and it made no difference. It's just odd that it seems to decide to green, rather than due to any cable tussle
Basically has to a cable issue, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it, and advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated. Like if the screen arrived faulty, if the connector is damaged in the phone so it can't be used, and the motherboard would need replacing.
Thanks,
Dillon
In recovery mode, there's full colour as well, I factory reset the phone, but it made no impact. However entering into recovery mode did flash the google logo and some of the screen whit, and the same thing happened on reboot from recovery mode.
It seems so odd to have these kind of consistent moments of colour and not colour if it's the ribbon
I should have also mentioned, that the clamp is broken, could that be the issue, does the connection need to be screwed in?
Also Here are some images of both the phones connection and the screens
I'd say jb weld your broken clamp before buying parts. Could be as simple as that it's not a tight enough connection
Hey,
I got problem: after changing broken display, new on has some issues: i can see very small blinking horizontal stripes (darker and brighter, so they are visible mostly on colors other than black/white) and they are moving, like when you record screen with different refresh rate.
Also sometimes there is problem: when I turn on screen, after few seconds all colors change to bright and contrast is extremally high (like with using some bad picture filter), or very rarely i have vertical stripes, which become more visible, all screen becomes brighter and there is no response when I touch screen. This two problems dissapear, when I turn off and on screen again. (but I still can see delicate horizontal stripes - these are all the time)
Is it problem with software, or hardware?
If hardware, it is because broken/poor quality screen, or there is some issue (damage? dirt?) on the connection between screen and mainboard, on socket or band?
