Hi, the top 2/3 of my screen has a slight yellow tint. I have a Rogers skyrocket and not at&t. I have this problem running the stock ics rom and the superlite ICS rom. I figure this is a hardware problem but just in case its a software problem I was wondering if anyone had the same problem and possibly got rid of it by flashing a different kernel? Also, im wondering if theres any software that could inrease the white balance of the screen to counteract the effect or something similar (I did find an app that could increase the blue filter but it wasnt much help). Thanks!

If it is happening on either stock or developer rom, then I would highly suspect that it is a hardware issue. The only other time I have experienced anything like this was with my wife's iphone 4. and it was because a cable had come partially loose inside. Pressed it back into place and the tinge was gone.
I think there is an app on the market which you may use to diagnose lcd issues. Not certain.

I recently had a problem with my 1st Touch Pro with image ghosting/ burn in and ive just had it replaced. Now the same problem is happening with the new device. The problem only seams to happen with custom roms being used on the device. If i re-flash my phone back to the default/stock rom i get no screen problems at all.
Any idea why this only happens on custom roms and not the default/stock rom??
edit: ive attached an example of what i mean in image ghosting/burn in. Just in case some people wasn't sure what i meant by it.
More info?
Heya! What was the last ROM you had this problem with? Version info would be extremely helpful as I have heard that specific builds have some graphics bugs.
I've had that same issue as well on 2 different fuze's. Using various builds of EnergyROMs... However, after reflashing to stock and using it awhile, I'd get the ghosting on that too.
Anyone have any ideas?
Ehh my 2nd Fuze is doing this so I'm getting a replacement, and I'll just do the HTC ROM upgrade and keep WM6.1. I'm tired of it, and the landscape view also distorts the start menu icons 90% of the time.
Having flashed back to a stock rom, doing a hard reset... Playing with it for awhile... The ghosting is evident on it as well... I've also had where the bottom section of the screen will flicker quickly...
Anyone else?
I think it's a hardware defect. My first phone did that, and then after a few weeks, I had to get a warranty replacement because the screen eventually went completely black after doing it intermittently).
I've had both ghosting effects & occasional rapid flickering since I first bought the Fuze back in November. It's intermittent but happens most when the device is hot (either from use or simply being in a hot location). So far it always clears up after a while. This happened on the stock rom and every custom rom I've used so far.
I'm fairly certain it's a hardware issue with the Fuze/TP because the ghost will tend to remain there for a while even after a soft reset.
Hopefully my good fortune continues and it doesn't end up breaking permanently some day.
it is definitely a hardware issue.
I just received a "repaired" phone back from HTC today only to turn it on and find the same problem. I had to call again today and complain...and the only thing they could do for me was ask me to send it in again....so pissed.
I literally got 5x FUZE replacements and each had this until this last one I've gotten...!

were they replaced through HTC or ATT?
I am on my third Fuze.
First day when I upgraded to Fuze the screen started doing this. So I took it back to AT&T for replacement. On the drive back home screen on second device started doing exact same thing. Took it back and got yet another replacement. This one works, but I have seen it happen once or twice in the 3 or 4 months I've had it.
AT&T also told me when I got this phone that it was the last exchange I could make for the 90-day exchange. If I had another problem I'd have to send this back to the company. WTF is that all about? You're going to inconvenience me because you keep giving me bad eggs? At least this one works right.
Is anyone with a Touch Pro having the same issues? Or is it all just us AT&T customers?
I have an O2 Xda Touch Pro. The only symptom I have that remotely resembles the ones listed here is the flickering at the bottom. But, in my case at least, the flickering is caused by a particular shade of gray displayed in Opera...and that's the only time it happens. So, again for me, it seems to be a software issue.

Flickering is another side affect that mine occasionally has... just in the bottom 1/5th or so of the screen... Most easily seen when in landscape mode in messaging.
those are all hardware issues too, its just only being displayed because that certain shade of grey is whats making it visibly noticeable.
Well, we'll see if replacement number 4 has the same issues soon...
They actually offered me a BlackBerry Bold/9000 as a replacement phone like it is even in the same universe.
Hardware differences?
Anyone with a buggy Fuze want to post the part number / sku number etc...? Maybe we are looking at a bad batch or a bad but unannounced hardware version?
I had this too on energyrom, I allways passed it off as a touch flow 3d opengl issue which would draw to the screen.
But thinking about it, it does occour when the device is hot, and the screen flickers also.
But It allways goes away after a soft reset for me.
Vodaphone UK TP
I have this problem too :/
Well, I just got my replacement, and it is doing it as well. I'll post some screen shots of it later on today.
Anyone want to tell me what numbers we want/need?
Hi guys
I have a screen problem with my SSGS i9000 - really hope you can advise a novice like me.
Yesterday, all of a sudden the screen looked really washed out, like the contrast/gamma had been turned up too far. Gmail, internet, pictures and videos are looking really pale and not clear - washed out and cloudy. The end call button more orange than red, battery indicator looks fuzzy. In phone settings the screen is set to lowest brightness.
Exactly this same issue occured in June last year when the phone was 7 months old. I took it to my supplier here in the UK (Carphone Warehouse). The onsite engineer updated the software to the then latest version - Gingerbread & 2.3.3. This cured it. All has been fine since, until yesterday.
Based on my previous experience I decided to check for software updates on Kies. Kies updated it to 2.3.5. Screen problem remained.
On advice of a friend, he suggested a "proper" reinstall - I read up about ODIN and last night took the plunge and I flashed the phone to:
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-cl1043937
Build: gingerbread.XXJW4
The phone is working beautifully, but the screen problem remains.
My question is is there anything else I can do on the software/reflashing of the phone to sort this issue? Is there anything I've missed or should do? Or has the screen had it and require replacement? ie. is it a hardware fault?
I should add, I hardly use this phone. It gets very very light use as a second phone largely for gmail. I get 4-5 days out of it on standby - that's how little it's used!
Hope you can help me.
Cheers in advance

the SAMOLED is a wonderful piece of technology, but it isnt without its flaws. In particular the Blue emitters 'burn' out quicker than the other colours. This is affected by certain variables such as the average screen brightness, how long the screen has been on for (total on life time) as well as the infusion of the AMOLED matrix during manufacture.
IMO your screen is fine. on some mods, you can change the phones render effect, by making the white tone shift more blue / red / green. If this issue is really bugging you, try find a mod that enables you to make this change.
Cheers for the reply.
The low level of use is what puzzles me as to why this issue could have occured.
Common problem with all SGS. Bound to happen sooner or later. Just learn to live with it, unless you are under warranty, and can get it replaced by Samsung.

Cheers Olly, so it's hardware failure?
Out of warranty now so I guess live with or replace?

Unfortunately so mate :/
I think you could probably get it replaced by Sammy, but you'd have to pay them, as your warranty is gone.
I'm suffering similar problems ROM my Desire S with a SLCD screen, I'm slowly learning to live with them!

Cheers Olly, appreciate your input.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem... My screen bugs out multiple times a day. Regardless of the ROM I am running. The only way to fix the problem is to lock the screen, and unlock. Kind of annoying. Just started happening recently, and like I said, on multiple Roms. Anyone else having the same problem??

Bad LCD
Mine freaks out too. Like static on old black and white uhf tv's. I think its a loose wire cause the only way to fix it is to smack the back of the phone (....just like an old tv). I thought about changing the LCD but since its a release day thunderbolt, I'm due for an upgrade soon. I think I'm just going to ride it out.

Hi Everyone,
I bought an S3 at the end of May, rooted and flashed cm 10.1 about a week later (and flashed firmware required to get the camera working a few days after that).
Earlier this week, the display suddenly shifted green and started to die - no amount of resetting, wiping, or unrooting and flashing stock would fix it (the screen ultimately came back on, but with a permanent blue-green tint and low resolution). Although I've basically chalked it up to a hardware failure (maybe gpu?), I got a replacement and am a little hesitant to flash CM again for fear that this might be a common issue.
Has anyone here experienced something similar? Is there any way that flashing and running a custom rom for a month could put undue stress on the motherboard, gpu, or other hardware? Would a custom kernel address the issue?
Just basically looking for thoughts from people who are way more experienced with this stuff than I am. Sorry if this has been posted before; I browsed the forums briefly and the display issues I saw didn't quite seem to match what I experienced.

A co-worker of mine had an S3 T999 on tmobile that did this same exact thing on the stock unrooted rom. I'd say its unrelated to CM, and glad you got a replacement. It should not do it again, so CM is safe to run on it.
Not a Rom issue. Sounds like just bad luck of the draw. I am on my 3rd or 4th s3 and i haven't had a Rom kill my phone yet.

So I've been running ODP4 since release, without issues. Until tonight, I take my phone out of my pocket and realize something about my display looks wrong....I then realized when looking at the white Google home page, my color temprature is not right at all. Screen appears to have a gray/green tint now to it, and doesn't seem to get as bright as it should or is to.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated, as this is extremely annoying and a bit concerning (possible sudden hardware issue somehow?) Thanks in advance.
Flash back to stock 7.1.2 and see if that resolves your issue. If not then it's most likely a hardware issue.
