Helppppp! My phones screens colors are faded/ inverted...

My phone isnt broken, it still operates but my screens colors are gone... id hope there is something i can do other than a warranty exchange because i have hard spl'ed my phone and this is just a huge mess! =( please help! I didnt drop it in water or drop it at all, it was in my pocket, i took it out... and now everything looks faded and washed out =( it slowly looks like its coming back, but i dont think itll ever be the same =(

I'm no expert, take out the battery and SIM card..blow on the phone, go to McDonalds, grab a 5 piece Nugget and some BBQ sauce...eat the McNuggets and then put the battery back in along with the SIM...charge the battery to 100% and turn it on and see what happens.

Sounds like an LCD issue. Can you post a picture? Unfortunately, every white screen washout I've seen has ended with a return.
See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332236
Out of the three, two needed to be replaced. There may be some hope with removing the battery though, but the guy that had the luck left it out over a whole vacation.

It's better to return if still under warranty
I have similar problem with HTC 8125... i know you have a Tilt. my suggestion is to return it if it's under warranty. you can reverse back to the original settings. just check out other posts.

same problem
has anyone figured out how to solve this problem? i have the same issue with my htc tilt. however, the screen toggles between the "washed out" screen and the normal beautiful screen. i have dismantled the device several times using Mike's instructions, but i cant figure out which connectors are out of place please please help me out. i can't afford another screen/phone right now

ohh sucks..yeah i got my 8125 off ebay and it crapped out on me like 4months later....tried to replaced screen and nothing...
i guess your only option would be to try and get a new screen or something

Washed out screen
I got the same problem took it to AT&T and replaced it. But what worries me now is that I have changed my mobile 3 times already and this is the fourth one. Every time it was a different issue. I wonder once I run out of warranty, which happens towards the end of this year then what? I wish there is some other option of extended warranty or anything that can be taken now.

Fix the screen. Here is directions on how to accomplish that: http://www.mindsofwisemen.com/fileso/other/ReplacingTheLCDonaKaiser.pdf

water got in the LCD. You will have to replace it. If you are in the US I can send mine to you for cheap since I don't want it anymore

Galaxy R screen corrupted/ pixellated/ random blackout

Hello guys,
My SGR screen is suddenly showing different color pixels near the bottom and egdes of the screen.. It doesn even appear on the screenshot.. I was on Lidroid ROM, then I reset and flashed Titanium v2.1 and finally now I'm on the stock ROM. Yet its still there.
It is NOT dead pixels. Its as if the LCD screen is corrupted and there is even random blackout from around the same time this pixel discoloration happened.
I think its a LCD issue but wanted to know if u guys think its a software issue by any chance? Else i have to take it to SSC again - 3rd time!
TIA

Same issue on all ROMs, Screen shots are perfect...
definitely HW issue...

Have u dropped ur phone or any accident which can cause impact to phone?

Will observe for couple of days and let know!

Damn I got a totally new issue now. As soon as I connect my headphones to my SGR, there is a blackout. It doesnt switch off coz the touch key light remains on. I have to re-insert the battery to switch it on.
I had the motherboard replaced 10 days back coz of random shutdowns. Since I got it, I noticed that I could not change songs in any of the music players using the headset controls. I just ignored it. And now as soon as I connect the headphones it just goes black!..
Taking it to the SSC right away..

They took an hour to check it and finally decided that the motherboard has to be replaced again. Yes AGAIN!. No wonder there is a shortage of Galaxy R motherboards elsewhere. This will be my third - and hopefully the last one for years.

Might be a problem with the internal wirings or that a part is being overloaded (most probably connects to the screen)

bad luck... probably you would have to take it to SSC....
Even my device had a spot little brighter... I was thinking I should not claim... becoz the service people here are not that well trained....
But, eventually... my soft keys stopped working and.. I was bound to go there... and they will replace it in 4 days...(as they are saying now).... I hope the best.... Jai Shri Ram....

[Q] Need SERIOUS help with my skyrocket!

Hey guys.
I have an SGS2 Skyrocket that boots but nothing ever shows up on the screen!
I held the power button and it does in fact boot the samsung logo never shows up.
The keys at the bottom light up but still nothing.
Seeing that everything worked i booted the phone into download mode to see if it would fix it (i still couldnt see anything, i was just going off of the vibrations)
So I decided to go ahead and flash back to stock GB from odin.
It went through successfully and it booted my phone back up.
Still nothing showing up on the screen...
Can someone please help me?

Sounds like a broken/cracked/bad LCD or digitizer problem.
Was it dropped? Left in direct sunlight? Leaving it back pocket and sitting on it? ...
So seek out a new LCD replacement. From your thorough explanation (awesome description of the problem!) It sounds like your logic board is fully functional.
So you should be good to go with a new LCD which runs around $100+/-$10 but check both eBay and amazon. And watch some youtube videos to see how the phone teardown works or pay a little extra to a repair shop to get it fixed.

It indeed sounds like you display is shot. If your phone is under a year old Samsung will replace it for about 160 bucks. If not then you can do it yourself. Here's an excellent photo write-up for the procedure:

Its a brand new screen.
The last one had cracked and i did replace it.
When i had turned it back on it was like this unfortunately.
Could it be a Hardware failure or something with the motherboard?

Mi4 Screen Problem

The screen was perfectly good untill yesterday, and today morning when i woke up I saw vertical lines on the display. Tried turning it off, removed temper glass but the problem is still there. When the mobile is turned on from sleep, the display is perfectly fine but the lines appear slowly after 2 seconds. So is this a major or a minor hardware or a software problem. I have also posted the screenshots.
Thanks.

Is it there during booting?

No, not during the boot, turned out it was damaged screen, and the service center is charging me for the screen even though there is no physical damage. They say it was internal damage, you can't see it, but we know it. Is it true?
I think it comes under abnormal screen and it is covered under warranty.

Today I gone to adjust brightness of screen but I don't know suddenly display is fully black, I cant do anything. please suggest how can I repair it?

Bro, don't visit normal service centers they are not good and mostly they have very poor service, I would suggest you to use pickmi service and send the phone to them, they will resolve the issue and send your phone back faster than normal service center guys, my phone battery was not charging, I got it fixed in 15days in which there were Diwali holidays also.
Try that bro.

Xperia Z3 lcd flickering Issue

Hey guys,
So I had broken my screen and ordered new one from Etradesupply. And ever since I installed a new one there's flickering going on when ever phone gets hot or for some strange reason.
I contacted Etradesupply and they sent replacement part but it still happens.
I don't know if there is a problem with the phone or their part.
Does anyone have idea why this happens?

I also had this issue.. its a common problem for z3 users. It is related to gpu. when used in cold environment the phone responds exactly like this. just turn off and then turn it on.. phone will get back to normal... else fo proper solution you need to send phone to repair centre. In summer you wont face this problem but in winter it will disturb you tooo much.

No. I think it is different. As I said it usually happens when the phone gets hot. And I never had this problem on the factory LCD.
