Recently, my phone's display would turn green (nothing else, and not a solid green) after unlocking. This would go away for a moment if I left the display on for a while. However, this afternoon, It did the same but it has not gone away.
I own a Nexus S I9023 (I might be wrong since I haven't seen my phone's information since I rooted it back around in November) If it helps, It's from Wind Canada

I tried rebooting it. It worked before but now it is permanently displaying that.
I haven't flashed or installed anything (just some apps from the market) and it's currently stock ICS 4.0.4

Hello people. I searched for info on this issue, but nothing for the Captivate came up. Intermittently I'll wake my phone up and there will be a little circle with a line through it where there should be network info. Anything I try to do with the network pops up a "Not registered on network" (or something like that) message. Usually rebooting the phone will solve the problem, but last weekend after three reboots it was still doing it. I left my house and an hour later checked it and no circle/line icon. This happens every several days, so not a chronic problem yet. Still very annoying. Any solutions? Thanks.
Stock Captivate.
I would consider warranty return if it were me I havent seen or heard of this before your post. good luck.
I have a stock captivate and let's just say I am incredibly disappointed and annoyed with it and at&t in general I'm tired of all the run around and hold up concerning froyo, but this isn't the thread for that.
My phone has been glitchy since the get go. The newest is the issue with "not registered on network". It has happened off and on, but a couple days ago, after I had turned the phone off for the night and back on, the phone screen blanked out while the bottom touch panel stayed lit and everything became totally unresponsive. After several reboots by removing the battery, my screen finally came up again, but so did that little blue circle and line...voila..."not registered on network"
The guy in tech support from at&t tried to help me out. He stayed on the phone with me for over 2 hrs trying to correct the issue, but even after a factory wipe...nada. Lost all my apps, free and purchased... if we would have froyo like promised, all my apps would have been backed up...UGH...
This is actually my third captivate in as many months. My first phone bricked itself after 2 days. No one could ever figure out why. I am waiting on a replacement as we speak. Of course my "new" phone is being replaced with a refurbished one. I hate that considering my current phone was only 3 months old and didn't have a mark on it, but what can I do?
because you don't mention if you're running stock or a custom ROM, I'm going to assume custom ROM. and if you are, then you must have not searched very hard because this is already a semi-known issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864903
it happens to me ANY time I use a modem newer than JK3... when I use UGJK3 or older, no problems... but if I use UGJK4 or newer, random "no service" on the lock screen with the "circle with a line through it" in the notification bar. as of right now (I believe) there's no known issue why some modems fail on only some hardware. I have a batch 1006 and it works fine right up until the UGJK3 modem, while some people seem to have absolutely no issues with modems (even the newest ones like UGJL2 and TLJL3). basically, if you're running a JPY based ROM, flash JK3 and see if that helps... if that doesn't, go back to a stock captivate ROM of some sort with a stock modem so you don't have these issues (never happened to be me on JI6/JJ4)
Try changing ur SIM card. That could solve the issue.
In my case, it is original stock all the way. The SIM card is fine because I switched it into two different at&t phones and had no issues at all. Right now my Captivate is a gloried camera and MP3 player.
I forgot to subscribe to my own stinking thread! I know this is stale now, but here goes.
I'm running stock froyo, rooted. At the time of the original post I was using it completely stock on eclair. Shortly after the post, it stopped happening and haven't had issues since. I still don't know what caused it. Thanks for all the input though.

Happened to me a year or so ago on a different phone. Turned out they were upgrading the tower closest to me with new hardware and were shutting it down intermittently to work on it.
Not sure what has changed but recently my camera/camcorder doesn't work. The screen is just black. Doesn't do anything. If I press home the phone goes back to home screen. Any ideas? What should I do.
I had this issue happen to me about 2 weeks after having purchased my inspire. Luckily I was within the 30 day warranty and got a new phone that same day.
When it happened, I didn't even bother to reset the phone or troubleshoot the issue. You might want to try that. But, if you're within the 30 days, head to an ATT store and show them the problem.

Well, if it worked before, and all of the sudden it doesn't, you should probably make sure there's no chance it was something you did, before going through the hassle of a return.
First thing to do is start checking apps installed, and services running.
Roms flashed? One or two had known issues with camera preview not showing.
Does the camera actually still take the picture, even though preview is non-visible?

Hope I’m posting this in the right place. Ok here we go:
Bought a Nexus S (i9020T) a couple of weeks ago. It was shipped with 2.3.2. I got the 2.3.4 upgrade OTA and installed it. After the installation the screen has a red tint. And I’m not talking about the color variations between different Android versions, this is really bad! I can’t look at pictures and some text is unreadable. The screen is not broken since the bootloader looks normal, so my guess is that it is software related.
I have downgraded the phone back to 2.3.2 and everything is normal. I have tried to reinstall 2.3.4 as well as going from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and then 2.3.4, both by downloading the files from Google and manually install and by doing it OTA. I have unlocked the bootloader and tried to load a whole bunch of different ROMs and Kernels. Nothing works. The Voodoo Color Control is not even close to fixing it. The only version that works is stock 2.3.2. I have googled it and it doesn’t seem to be a common problem.
So I’m reaching out to you guys to see if anyone has heard about this behavior and know what to do?? I can live with 2.3.2 but the reason I bought the phone was to get instant updates. I’ll attach a picture of the home screen which should be black. I don’t have international warranty so turning it in to Samsung is not an option.
Any ideas??
wow. that mr is a defective unit imho. i think that you should try to get a replacement. i do not think that you need international warranty or something. just a receipt might do it. (it worked with htc for many nexus one's purchased on ebay for ex) . just give it a try.
sorry for the news. i hope u get it solved or i hope i am wrong.
keep us updated.
Hmm, yeah I was afraid of that.
Just thinking though, what could be defective? It works just fine on 2.3.2. If i run 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3) and start the phone, the Google-logo shows up in white for about 5 seconds, then it turns red and everything is red after that.

That's really strange. It seems that the update only is screwing things for you. Try sending supercurio a PM. He knows these stuff. He is the dev of the voodoo tweaks and application. He'll surely be able to answer you and give you an advise.

Eldrin, Have you finally found a way to fix it ?
Or are you stick in 2.3.2 ?
Red complexion on ICS
Did you find a solution to this problem?
When I turned on my Nexus S i9020 this morning all greyish colors where red. Directly after turning it on, the lock and the google writing where white as usual, but after about 2 second it got a red complexion. I tried to make a screenshot of my homescreen, but in the jpg the red complexion has vanished and it looks as usual.
I'm running ICS 4.0.3 stock and did the update back in december. Removing the battery for a minute didn't help.
Has anyone an idea?
EDIT: After about 5 restarts it was back to normal! Anyhow, I made a short clip of the startup sequence before www . youtube . com/watch?v=vy5NkFrQDuA

Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!
I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems
I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.
I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration
Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.
Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.
I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127658
I did a thread about this issue, but got no feedback on it. Any thoughts?
Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html
Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.

I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.
Someone else has also made a video:
Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.
I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.
They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.
They said they're investigating.
I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help

Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.
Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help

I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.
Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??
It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.
Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !
Come on Telstra.

This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.
My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.
My Skyrocket started from having a small blue airbursh type dot on the screen and it moved to the whole phone throughout the day, After a while the screen got really dark blue, but was still functional until today, I think the problem came from charging my phone. But I am using the same charger, so I'm not 100% sure why it would suddenly stop working.
It started in the morning and progressively got worse throughout the day after charging it throughout the night, and then last night I charged it again and now the screen just doesn't display anything. I can still use muscle memory to unlock my phone with the pattern, and it will still receive notifications.
Does anyone have any ideas? The only difference between how it was charged yesterday and today is that I'm in South Carolina instead of Kentucky.
Go back to Kentucky! Jk. It could be a hardware issue but I'd rule that out by trying a different rom. You didnt say what rom you're currently on.

I am running CM10.0, the stable version of it. I haven't upgraded because I didn't really find it necessary as I was happy with the way it was. It's a really weird problem though.
It seems to be because of the charger, but I'm still not 100%. Should I just try to recover to the original GB rom through Odin?
Here is a picture of the phone when it was blue. Hopefully it uploaded perfect.
Sorry about the black, wanted to make sure none of my friends got mad at me for showing their picture and/or texts on the interwebs. Just in case thing.

I'd try a different rom to see if out I'd rom related. But I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue. Odin'ing back to gb or a newer os, should tell you if it's hardware or software related.

Okay, it appears to be a hardware problem. Flashed the stock GB tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 and have absolutely no luck. Odin worked successfully and the phone still seems to be having the same problem.
Has anyone ever heard of or seen this problem before? It's pretty random. I think I have the phone under insurance, where as I will just tell them I lost my phone.. Otherwise looks like I'll be without a phone for a while unless I go out and buy an unlocked one, as I wanted to switch carriers next year when my contract was up!
If youre still under the one year warranty, AT&T should be able to give you a refurbished one. This is the first blue screen issue I've seen or heard of.

It wasn't under warranty, as I've had it for a year and a week almost exactly.. And they want a whopping $200 for it through insurance. I'm not doing that. I'm tired of the Skyrocket and I'm not going to pay $200 to get it through insurance. It isn't on warranty, but it was under insurance. I can tell you this is the last time I insure a phone.
I'm going to be buying a Nexus 4 and re-use my SIM, and if it doesn't work I will just ask AT&T for another SIM card and deactivate my old one.
So, it is pretty much 100% where the phone isn't going to work anymore, and I'm not really sure if a screen replacement will work. So yeah, looks like I am going to go with the Nexus 4 and be happy with it.
I do have a question kind of unrelated, and I'd be happy if someone can point me in the right direction and give me an answer here so I don't have to gunk up the forums with another topic.
Is there anyway to grab my phone's data virtually or through the recovery file? Fortunately I was smart enough to make a backup to my sdcard right when it started turning blue. Is there some way I can get my pictures and some important notes from my phone?
