Hi guys, I am having a bit of an issue with my Samsung Infuse. I recently purchase this refurbished phone and it is unlocked from AT&T. Every thing seems to work fine except for the fact that there is constantly a second display underneath the actual display. What I mean by this is that the default locked AT&T screen is always showing, but it is transparent so it overlaps with whatever else is supposed to be displayed on my screen. I assume it is the locked at&t screen because on the bottom it says "phone locked" has a clock and on the top it has an at&t logo.
I tried hard-resetting the phone to factory setting too. I also tried to disabled the lock screen, but it was separate from the transparent at&t lock screen.
Any ideas?
bump.
So I tried a few things. Namely, I tried to install a custom rom to "overwrite" whatever interface the phone previously had. I installed cm9 but I am still having this problem. Any ideas?

idk..is it a transparent background wallpaper?
is there a loose video connection to the screen?
screen shot or video may help show what you mean
It could also be screen burn-in, but, I've never heard of the "phone lock". Mines has the loading symbol and status bar burned into my screen

I will try to get a high quality photo if I can. Unfortunately, my phone is my main camera.
And I looked up what screen burn-in is. It actually looks pretty similar.

Thanks. I will try to see if there are any solution to screen burn in

Hello,
I hope I've placed this in the right place - if not, please feel free to let me know and I'll post it/move it elsewhere
I've recently upgraded my Nexus S to 2.3.4 (manually, not OTA), and I've noticed a slight problem with the screen. I have a friend who also updated their Nexus S manually to 2.3.4, and appear to be exhibiting the same problems. I wonder if anyone else can confirm if their Nexus S is doing the same thing.
On the device unlock screen, the right-hand edge of the right-hand buttons (3, 6, 8, DEL) is cut off (rather than having a border)
On the left-hand side of the screen (when held in portrait mode) has a slightly green tint to it (not seen in 2.3.3)
When held in landscape mode, the green tint appears on the bottom of the screen
The onscreen keyboard seems less precise - the wrong letters are sometimes typed (despite the fact I'm sure I pressed the right key!)
Just an update - I've spoken to a friend of mine who upgraded his (brand new) Nexus S to 2.3.4 OTA, and he is seeing the same problems that I described.
(He's recently moved from iPhone to Android, and thought the keyboard issue was him just not being used to the Android keyboard)
Have any other people experienced these problems with their Nexus S on 2.3.4?
No prob over here. Could you please post some pics/screenshots? Which nexus s model do u have?

Hi deeren,
I have the Nexus S GT-i9020 (bought and used in the UK, if that helps).
I'll take some pictures tonight (can't screenshot as not rooted, and at work so don't have camera!)
I've attached two images to this post:
lockscreen.jpg - this shows the buttons 'falling' off the edge of the screen
greenbar.jpg - difficult really to demonstrate this, but there is a slight green bar at the top of the picture (it's far more noticeable when looking at the screen in person)
I'm not sure if I can upload video - if I can, I'll try and take a video demonstrating the inaccuracy of the keyboard if that's any help.
Has anyone else come across any of the problems I've mentioned? I haven't had chance yet to re-image my phone and see if the issue re-occurs.
The PIN entry keypad is off-center on my device as well. However, I think it's just that particular screen.
I don't have any color anomalies though.
I didn't notice the keypad being off-centre in 2.3.3, but it may well have been. My main bugbear is the fact that the keyboard accuracy is definitely off in 2.3.4.

Im using 2.3.4 Nexus S I9023 (NOT rooted. all stock)
its not off centered on mine. i have a few questions for you:
1) are you using a third party lockscreen or something? could be that program?
2) are you using a 3rd party browser too?
i tested all my apps and screens and observed the homescreen, theyre all equally aligned. you may want to try to check stock calculator, stock calendar, etc and see if its off centered

Did you set your lockscreen to require a PIN. Because it definitely is off center, and it is a UI design bug on that particular screen. I really think anyone will see this. Nothing on my phone is off center except that one screen.
Menu > Settings > Location and security > Set up lockscreen > PIN
Enter a PIN and confirm it
Turn screen off
Turn screen on
Numbers on right side (3, 6, and 9) will extend all the way to edge of the screen. Numbers on left side (1, 4, and 7) will have border visible between button and edge of the screen.

Hi All,
I have looked around for a similar problem but could not find anything.
I have a problem with my screen on my HTC Sensation. I was using Virtuous ROM but when this started happening, I wiped with superscript and switched to Insertcoin ROM and the problem actually became worse.
When I lock my phone with the Power button, instead of the screen turning black instantly, the bottom and top of the screen slide up and meet in the middle (like a transition that you put inbetween chapters in a home made movie).
The same happens when I unlock the phone.. and it's very annoying and of course very slow.
I can't work out if it's hardware or not. I just recently edited the build.prop file (only removed the '#' from the screen capture line- which worked, didn't touch anything else)... and now when I unlock, the font and app icons seem a little enlarged and blurry.. then once I slide between screens and back it goes to normal.
I'm a noobie and would appreciate the help.
Thanks
Ginox
I always thought is was on purpose
No, this is very exaggerated and slow. Usually the phones screen goes off reasonably quick when you lock the phone (and vice versa with unlocking).
It sounds like you are describing the CRT animation for locking and unlocking, like an old TV turning on/off. Some ROMs include this by default. If the phone is running slow/sluggish it can look poor and cause other issues like the funky looking icons.
~T.J.
Hmm, it doesn't seem like that kind of problem... my phone runs reasonable fast.
Here's a video of it:

Can't direct link, please copy and paste.
Yup, thats the CRT animation, that's what its supposed to do. It must have been included with a ROM you installed by default. Like I said, its meant to look like you are turning on or off and old tube type television or computer monitor. Someone might have a flashable file out there for you to remove it, I don't know. At least now you can search "remove CRT animation" or something and see what you can get.
~T.J.
Oh really, thats interesting as I was pretty sure it done something similar on the previous Virtuous Rom.
Does anyone else out there have this feature on their Insertcoin ROM? (I've only ever had stock, Virtuous and Insertcoin).
I will have a search but if anyone knows the fix, please let me know
[Q] Samsung G-Note Horizontal Lines Only On Lock Screen With Black & White Wallpaper
Hi,
I am getting horizontal Lines on the lock screen [only] with white and black wallpapers.....
I have tried other wallpapers and the problem doesnt seem to persist with them .... neither does it occur with live wallpapers.
Those same wallpapers look fine in the gallery and even when i set it as the home screen wallpaper, there are no other pertaining issue other then that on my phone.
Is this a software or hardware issue....
And is there any way around this problem to solve it ... or do i have to taken my phone to the service center.
if its under warranty I'd just take it back and get a new one
Hey, thanks for the reply...
the problem is i dont get that issue with any other wallpaper just the extreme black and white ones .......
and i dont face any other problems any where else in the phone, its just the lock screen....
moreover the lock screen seems to re-scale the image before applying it as a lock screen wallpaper...
thats why i was wondering if its a software bug or something which can be resolved with an ics update... or through some other mean ....
i have never dropped my phone, or sat on it or anything i have been extremely careful with it ....neither have i rooted my phone....
i have seen some other forums on the net regarding the same... apparently there are quite a few people with similar issue.... but no one seems to have a definite answer as to why its happening.....
If it was me, I would just return it and get a new one. You should be able to get one no questions asked if its still under warranty, plus who wouldn't want to get a new note if they could? If it happens on your next note then I'd look further into it, your call though.
Ok so I got my U11 all setup and working great stock for now. But I noticed on my lock screen it somehow now has my lock screen banner that I had on my Samsung. Anyone know how to change this without rooting?
Never mind I finally found it.
Setting>Security> The little gear icon thing next to Screen Lock
So I bought my used S7 recently, the device seems to be totally clean not even a scratch on the frame, looks like brand new and even the software status is OFFICIAL not even the Knox is tripped.
I found a thread on XDA about using an updated version of TouchWiz Home of the S8 for the S7 by installing the APK.
it worked like a charm until I started to change my wallpapers and notice something strange.
im using an application to change the wallpapers auto every 5 minutes, the problem is whenever the wallpaper i use has some bright colors like bright purple or bright red and i press the app button to access the app drawer those colors (ONLY) flicker , they flicker just before the screen get blurred and take u to the app drawer, and also when u go back to the main screen from the app drawer also right after the blur disappear.
i got scared so i uninstalled that Touchwiz Update and came back to stock, to notice that the problem is still there, but its not as noticeable as the s8 TW
i wanted to know if the screen is dying or this is something normal, and also wanted to know if its a software related problem or hardware one, and finally if someone is having the same issue ( i can share a wallpaper if anyone is willing to try wit it )
NB: the screen flicker ONLY ON THE BRIGHT COLOR before the blur effect happens and After it.
Thank you all in advance & i apologize for my English
I made this video If you focus on the second time especially ( when going to the home screen from the app drawer ) you can see clearly the red rose flicker. Sometimes the flickering is harder depending on how bright is the color.

This can only be a software problem, because its also visible in the Video. Your screen is not damaged, and it will not be damaged. This issue is not a problem, maybe only a bit annoying.

It is so annoying for me cuz i had an old S5 plus that ended up with the screen flickering so whenever i see it flickering i got a heart attack.
Is there anyway to fix it i tried factory reset but nothing changed..
Thank you anyway for replying
I think thats a Problem with the Launcher. I've tried it on my Phone, and it is also flickering. You can try to speed up the Animation-Speed in the Developer-Settings. Maybe then you wont see the flickering.
You can see it here, that it is also on my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYKM5ss9EKe3L0M43

Thank you very much !!!! You have no idea how much its relieving to know that this problem is not only present in my device.
For now ill just stay away from bright wallpapers until hopefully Samsung will make fix for this issue.
Thank you again !
EDIT : after i came to the pc and i saw the GIF u made i noticed that we dont have the same flickering , maybe the quality of the GIF wasnt high enough but for me it didnt seem to be te same, so i will ask you one last time when you tried that wallpaper did it show the SAME result as my video for u ?
thank you in advance
