Hi all,
I have a strange display issue where in I'm observing a blue tinge in my display. Kindly advice of there is anything i could do/test before taking to SSC. Many Thanks!
Please find image below. Although image is of poor quality the problem is clearly visible. Also this is clearly visible only under full brightness and when phone boots, but hardly noticeable when under normal brightness conditions and non black screen.
PS: Sorry for Poor image quality, i don't have a decent secondary phone/camera at the moment.
UPDATE:

My Mobile is back from SSC. Have asked my bro to collect and to do some initial checks(He's new to android).
Initial Impressions:
1. They have replaced the Display unit (Also front panel i guess, there were few hard dents, but now the search for dent goes in vain)
2. Stock 2.3.5 Yet!
Will post more updates as i hear from him/get my hands on my mobile tomorrow. Thanks all for your support! :good:

Did your phone fell down? Or someone sitted on that means any sort of pressure came over the phone?

Key in *#0*# and try the LCD test for colours and sensors buddy. Check if everything is working fine. You can also try the app LCD Test. Seems like the LCD panel might have undergone some pressure. It may be like fallen, or some one pressed their weight over it, or exposed to heat(steam). Check if touch sensors are working in that spot.:fingers-crossed:

Check whether actually it's a LCD issue or it's on the software side.
- Input *#0*# in the keypad & run the different colour tests Red, Blue, Green & Black.
- If the colors seem normal then it could be a software bug but incase you still see those bluish smudges on the screen then it could be a hardware problem.
- Flash the stock ROM, clear the cache, dalvik cache & check if it resolves your problem. (do a hard reset as the last option)
- Even if the above option doesn't help then take it to a service center as it could be a hardware(LCD) problem.
Do update here if it solves the problem. Hope this helps.
Cheers !
Thanks cooleagle and selva.simple.
I tried with the inbuilt colour tests and the LCD App. Every color is rendered perfect except for black. only in black screen i could see the blue smudges. That again with brightness on the higher side it is noticeable, with brightness around 30% it is hardly seen.
I'm away from system, hence shall try flashing stock rom and hard reset at a later point.

Just check wether you have tick/untick Auto adjust screen power option. try doing the opposite thing and then check if every thing is working fine.
This is the issue when running with black screen. All other colors are reproduced fine. Vipul, i tried that makes no difference to the issue.

Try flashing the stock ROM with a hard reset & if it doesn't solve then give it to the Service Center.

Phone to SSC
UPDATE: Submitted my Phone to SSC, he was trying to convince me that it isn't a big problem. I have conveyed i have no interest in carrying forward a fault in phone to Out of Warranty period and then pay for the same. He told he shall call back to confirm if display needs to be replaced (Also specified a 4 days ETA)
SSC Updates
Hi All,
After one full week, SSC people called me up today, they said they haven't got any confirmation of replacement LCD shipment from Noida. Hence requested an ETA of 2 days. After that, if they don't get an confirmation on spare availability, they'll proceed with a replacement or refund!
Also, on my request, they agreed to let me use the phone till a decision is made or spare becomes available.
Request you guys to assist me on taking further steps if refund option is suggested by them. Thanks in advance.

It's upto you mate. As ICS is finally here for our handset you can weigh your options. If you're willing to spend more money than what you'd payed for SGR then you can ask for a refund but if the budget stays the same i.e around 21k then there's very little competition to SGR even now.
BTW do ask them & tell us here how much they'll give you back incase of a refund so that everyone could have a ball park figure in their mind incase they also are given this option.
Cheers !

I'm not interested in a refund option at all. I'm not interested in buying a handset in lieu of SGR. Can I demand for a replacement or repair and deny a refund request?

Yes. But its applicable only if a spare hardware or spare device is available. Only if both are not available, they can go for refund. Till a single piece of required hardware of another handset is available, you can deny the refund. I believe u r in Chennai buddy. Which area are you and where u have given it for service.

Before giving it to service center first flash Stock ROM of your country and do factory reset (similar to formatting the phone memory), what happened to your phone ..

It's Really Strange problem with touch screen
Phone is in service center now.
Might sell it after it comes back and get a Note
S4Sixty - I had a very similar problem.. screen used to go bonkers.. Do crazy things... I was really fed up... But then later i found out it was a screenguard problem... I am not sure if its the same with you but that was the problem with mine.. I changed from matte to gloss and I got complete control over my phone again... Strange but true.

Update :
Collected my phone back from Samsung Service Center.
They changed the LCD and flashed 2.3.5 Official (they claim it is the most recent ROM for my country.....Sheesh).
Advice me to remove the screen protector which is usually the main cause of the touch screen responsiveness. Took their advice ( as well as reymsterio7) and applied a clear guard instead of the matte protector i was using before.
Result : All looks good now. I dun know if it was the screen problem or the matte guard which was the problem.
Overall, i'm glad i dun have to change phones now.

Yeah I flashed Stock FW and my counter was 0 since I used to flash Custom ROM's through CWM.
Those guys act so ignorant man, they never understand the problem! I called them just now and they saying "You problem is network switching off right??" . I have clearly told them that phone gets switched off possiblly while connecting to network so plz check with a SIM inserted. They dont understand. I dunno why cant Samsung hire professionals to deal with our phones bought by our hard earned money. Their service is a joke.

I have a glossy protector on my Galaxy R yet my screen goes bonkers.
So it is definitely a Hardware/ Software issue. I haven't gone to customer care centre yet, With the hope of getting an update for my R.
BTW, Why do you think MATTE Protectors are causing the trouble?
I was thinking of getting one. And also I need your help about the CC part should I go and tell them what my problems are? Or should I just wait for an update?

I`ve been looking everywhere to find a solution but didn`t found one. To be more precise, both sensors (proximity and light) work occasionally,sometimes they work just fine and then suddenly stop working.
I`m using Andro Sensor to check the sensors and there is "Waiting for event" message for both light and proximity.
I don`t think it`s a hardware problem as they were working when bought the phone and they still work occasionally.My phone is rooted and i`m on latest ARHD now with Sebastian kernel.Maybe someone knows how to fix this as it`s very annoying (automatic brightness and capacitive backlights not working because of this as well).Any help would be much appreciated.
You mean like this?
Lol same issue here.
I contacted htc and they wanted me to send it in for repair. But they said it may be due to water dammage. (I never gave my phone near water and the sticker under the battery is still white.) The rep told ne if it is due to water damage it may be expensive to fix. What I'm gonna do is just pay the 130$ deductable to my insurance company and get a new one.

...will NOT light.sorry
Yep why i ask is because it happens to me also exact same problem, i had a temp work around with ICS 3.6 roms with putting tinfoil or something under the shell and covering the sensor, this would present a low light signal to the sensor and some how enable the capacitive lights but still ****s the sensor and or proximity.
Sometimes it will work depending on the boot, it will either work on boot or not never changes while the rom is running.
Now i must try the leedroid tweeks as i can stand my capacitives not working but yes must be a widespread problem if people are having the exact same issues.
found it, bummer its for 3.6 only.
I have the exact same problem as you described, but since 6 months. It really sucks to pay 430€ (~650$) for a device which isn't working as it should. I don't want to send my phone to repair and wait for it 3 weeks. So I have to cope with it.
That's a plus for the S3 to be my next phone.

It`s very frustrating as it`s an known HTC issues and no one can do anything about it.To send it back and wait forever it`s ridiculous.
Thats why i refrained from sending it myself, i need a phone cant expect us to wait and wait for a repair. Should be a straight swap for being a known issue.

Sadly this is my thought as well. And I was a huge htc fan. I used to boast how good the phone is / was but now it starting to feel more of a burden.
My issues
1. Proximity / ambient light sensor doesn't work properly anymore.
2. Usb stopped working? Wtf still charges though
3. Design flaws. (Ok this used to be one of the phones biggest assets. But going through 3 back covers because the stupid volume buttons keep breaking is crazy.)
4. The tinny sound when you are recording video.
5. The blutooth stacks don't allow connection with the ps3 or Wii controllers.
Hate to turn this into a rant.... :banghead:

Why I'm going with the insurance way rather than htc. Those MFs told me that I have to pay for both shipping and recieving, plus is if there is any sort of damage outside of what they cover its gonna cost me starting around 85$ or something like that. Than it may take a few days to get it back to me.
While I can just pay like $140 and have a new phone in like 2 days.

Tried everything,and yes it depends on boot.
Try to do factory reset in TOTAL dark.
It worked till next boot...
I think i maybe got it after Sebastian kernel ?
Still puzzeling....
And same problem here with ARHD 6.5.3 XE...
Maybe later I'll try super wipe and different kernel (I got sebastian's currently).
EDIT:
In AndroSensor I got "waiting for event" instead of "failed to start". Someone knows what it means?

My Phone's softkeys are not working at all. It glows but dont work.
Touchscreen is also not working, Everytime I had to lock screen by power button then after unlocking the touchscreen works for 2-3 touches....then again I had to lock screen.
I tried to flash MIUI 5.6, ICS CM9 v6, v7 but same issue.
Now flashed the Stock DDKP3, but issue still persists.
Plz Help me If someone can.....Pleaseeee !!!
I guess there is some fault in the touchscreen.. A hardware issue.. Better show it in Samsung service center.. I don't think there can be a software prob as u have tried all ROM's..

Wow, another user with the same issue.
Mine is just a wild guess that kernel 2.6.x may be a cause of the problem. ie after shifting to ICS.
Im waiting for kernel 3.0 before visiting service center. Gonna cost Rs.5K man.
i wasnt on ICS..
had stock rom with cf-root, deodexed, and a few mods!!
check out ebay for the touch panel! its there for about $28, im thinking of getting one down!

Opening the device will void your warranty completely.
There's a high chance that you ruin something else in the process, phone hardware is very delicate, so i suggest letting a professional do it..

WRONG again, it doesn't affect the touch keys hardware wise, it may just affect how it works for that kernel and ROM only, not the hardware, what he changed there is that touch keys only light up according to ambient light, while other kernels don't use that so it just messes that up.
CM9 has nothing to do with ruining your touch keys, it's a hardware issue, stop playing smart with it, only way to fix it is the good ol' service center haha
I had the same problem...soft keys not working...tried many roms but no use...
I am from kerala .a place In south india...I took it to a shop in penta meneka ..they said the display is fine..the small touch sensitive strip beneth the soft keys need to be changed..its worth just 500 rupees.....the moment I heard it I felt relaxed coz changing the slcd display is not an option for me....
If any of you have the same problem ..take the phone to a local mobile service store..
Today I will check the cost with orginal samsung customer care and service shop.lets hope they will change the strip and not the display...

Service center if under warranty (free), other shops if not for a cheap alternative.
Touch screen working fine only touch key is not working

Hi ,
I am facing the same problem, In my case touch screen is working fine. Problem is only with touch key. I have also bought this phone from Penta Meneka. What people at Samsung service centre told you about this? Is you problem is resolved? Please reply
Hey, i just replaced my touchscreen and digitizer.. and the soft key prob still insists, i studied it and i have came to a conclusion that the KEYPAD FLEX CABLE might be broken. Luckily, the flex cable costs around $20
I just wasted $83 on my new touchscreen tsk

hi guys. my touch screen and soft keys doesnt work too. but in xxkpe rom, they works perfectly. but any 2.3.6 roms doesnt work. try xxkpe(2.3.4) rom then if it doesnt work, go to service center.
Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea
Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?

I had to get a replacement phone because the volume button stopped working.
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the display on this new one is very washed out and had a pinkish tint to it... I don't know, it just doesn't look right.
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it all in my head? I am a picky person
UPDATE: I just called Verizon for a replacement with no problems. Hopefully this new one has a fresh screen.

Sounds like a display panel issue to me. I would definitely beginning another replacement. I know its a hassle but I that would drive me nuts. I know if you're not happy with it you can have another replacement ship to you. I wouldn't wait too long though get it taken care of as soon as possible

I'm just afraid that they will say since there is nothing wrong with it, they won't give me a replacement or that they will charge me for another one.

Unfortunately, when I turned it on, it updated to 4.4.4. That's a bummer.

I definitely call them and find out that information for sure. I'm sure if there's an issue with the phone that they'll send you another one free of charge. Just call and explain it to him. You don't know until you ask. Now it specially since you're on the newest firmware you can't root it I would definitely be exploring my options

I may do that.
Also, I just now noticed, but the top of the display bleeds. So I probably will get a replacement.

I would definitely get a replacement. This phone has the best LCD I've ever used on a mobile device. Colors are fantastic, whites are white, any there's absolutely no light bleed. It sounds to me like you have a defective unit.

I know it does. The screen on my last one was fantastic. I may call support next week and try and get a replacement. I do expect some hassle, though.
