I get this too.
What rom are you on? I've only seen this happen while on Galnet's MIUI rom. Sometimes it's red, the other times it's blue.

idk..I'm wondering if this is the rainbow effect encountered when you are running a gb (2.3) based rom without the GB bootloaders.
possible solution: flash gb bl from dani's post. flash to a stock gb leak before flashing a custom rom - uckj4 or above should have bl included

I've had the gb bl from at&T's leak ever since it came out. It's not it.

Fwiw,
I went from stock > s7 (port) > gsinfuse (port) > galnet miui ics (port) > zeus with a few odins after s7 and one right before zeus....never heard about bls until these past weeks

its weird that a lot of us are having this problem, but it hadnt really been brought to attention yet
fwiw,
I have tried stock leaks, victory, darky's, gsinfuse, numas, caty, bionix, and zeus...couldn't remember a few more.
I've soft bricked and boot looped a few times.
I heimdalled back to uckj4 stock and go from there.
I've not seen the colors that you have mentioned.
I've not use miui.
I usually try to wipe everything and factory reset a few times as well.
I don't usually back up any roms, kernels or nandroids.
I have backed up some apps with tibu..but restore only the app..not the data.
idk but i suspect the colors you see may be related to "unclean" flash on top of old ones or bl issue...but that is just my 2 cents...
If when you do flash a new rom, consider wiping everything and heimdall or odin a later leak before going to a new rom.
I have had this happen to me on many roms.

Does it persist until you lock/unlock screen?

This has happened to me even on stock 2.2 when I first got the phone. Its not critical. Because as mentioned, all you have to do is hit the power button to shut the screen off. When it comes back on its fine. But it is really strange..
Yeah. Today was my first time seeing a green screen lol. So far I've seen the blue, red-pinkish, and now green screen.
Sent from my SGH-I997
Yep, I've seen it too. I just flip the screen off and on again. Not a big issue I guess, just kinda amusing.
I freaking love this.. sometimes it happens 5 times in a row. I tried taking a screenshot once when it was this BA looking black and red but it came out normal.. so I was look whatever. It's not a big deal and it doesn't happen that often. Tried almost every rom other there, and I'm pretty sure that it has happened on every one.. atleast once.
I have noticed this happen on 2.3.6 based ROMs. Our devs are already looking into this. They'll update us whenever they have any update.

Yeah it nvr lasts longer then that. That's was my first instinct to turn it off and on and it always goes away. So i have never tried to unlock the phone to see how long it stays like that. Yeah i never posted anything or cared to look up anything because it only happens once and a great while and always goes right away.

When ever my screen goes black in been opening apps or websites, I notice that there are lighter spots or smears, but they only show up on the black screen. Does anybody else have this, and or know what it is? besides on black screens, it really doesn't affect anything, but I worry it might get worse

Do a search for "blobs"
There are quite a few posts on it. Some phones are worse than others. Both of our skyrockets have small identical blobs

Currently having this issue with my white skyrocket as well.. Need to look for a solution.

Sadly after 5 sr phones now having some sort of issue I don't think you will find a cure all solution that includes keeping the sr
The lines drove me crazy . . The blobs (in my case) I never see

The lines are driving me insane as well. The blobs are noticeable in clockwork mod in the dark. I see like a bunch of black dots on my screen everywhere.... Damn.. is Samsung planning on fixing this issue for our phones?
They say they are "looking into it."
I only ever see the blobs on otherwise black screens if my eyes are very dark-adjusted. One example is if the phone is off and charging, and I wake it up (but don't turn it on) in the middle of the night.
That is: the blobs are the next best thing to a non-issue for me. The lines are a minor annoyance that I can ignore easily enough under almost all circumstance.
Both exist though, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A little disappointing to be sure.
I've found that the best way to evaluate your phone for blobs is to take your phone, set it to the lowest brightness setting, use the Gallery to display the color #101010 on it, put the phone in a dark room, then use a DSLR camera on the no-flash setting to take a picture of it. You need to have NO light at all coming from anywhere else, so a closet or internal room with a counter works best. It'll take about 10 seconds to capture, during which the phone and the camera need to be perfectly still.
Ignore the green tint - it's a side-effect of the overexposure.
My results:
Phone 1: My mother's Skyrocket, purchased about a year ago.
Phone 2: My Skyrocket, purchased about 6mos ago. I gave the link for this image to an AT&T Rep in the Warranty dep't, and got an RMA ready within 10 minutes.
Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

First 2 words of my post "completely stock". No roms, kernals, or flash. Just straight out of the box phone with 2.3.6 update through att

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.
This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.
if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone
This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this
sometimes when i turn on my phone with the power button, the whole screen is a neon pink or blue colour. you can still see everything through it, its like there is a transparent neon pink screen over it. everything still works fine, and it doesnt go away untill i turn off the screen and turn it back on, like lock and unlock. it has only happened a few times, and i want to know why. i am running ZEUS 6, on rogers canada. thanks.

Then you should be researching and reading. This has been brought up and talked about numerous times in multiple threads.

A simple screen off and on should do the trick!

bro i checked the other threads and they dont help with jack, so i made a new one hoping id get some straight andswers from nice people who i can thank
I'm not that smart but could it be because of the bootloaders bigfau? Wondering if I'm doing the right reading of threads.

If boot loaders are messed up, your phone won't boot up in the first place and give you a rainbow screen (colored lines all across the screen). From what you mentioned, its doesn't seem so. Its a normal issue due to some display drivers problem. Don't bother too much. Just turn the screen off and on.
Hey, I just got a gs3 today. I noticed that on really dark greys(basically never) I can see these black spots around mid lower region of the screen. If I use the app "screen filter" and set it to around 2% I can clearly see them. Can someone else try it out so I know if its my phone or not?
Thanks

I know I have some black spots on my phone I just got today as well. Can see them on low brightness with dark background. Is this normal? Reminds me of the nexus. The screen is better though.

yeah not sure, if it isn't I'm gonna have to return it and get a new one. Definitely not getting stuck in an endless CLN replacement loop.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's normal at low brightness seeing how I've had three brand new nexuses and six replacements and all of them had black spots and there was a thread. What's normal on your screen and what isn't. And they marked this as normal.
Even if you go in and swap it promise you the new one you get will also have black spots. Not just saying that.

Have same issue got new s3 and there are good few of them. I also did some research and it's basicly the amoled screen what causing this problem. Not sure now if should i swap it or not. New one might be even worste

Its very common.. I guess its on all devices that use the same screen as the SIII, I think amoled. Anyways, the two devices I have had both had it, I'd say if their not HUGE and you dont notice them unless your in a dark room then its not a big deal. But its totally up to you. I think they are called ink marks as well.
Mine has a few also that are most visible when a youtube video is loading (that dark grey screen that's not quite pure black). It's not very noticeable and I hardly see them so I'm not worried
I believe this is pretty common though
That's unfortunate. No black spots to report on mine. Maybe it was part of a bad batch from the factory?
They are there. You just don't know how to look for them.
Every Samsung amoled has them.
