Issue with the display - post official ICS update

Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy R today to the official ICS version. The phone was on the stock ROM (Gingerbread) earlier.
I did the update using KIES and the update went without any errors. Post upgrade, my Samsung Galaxy R's screen isn't working normally when viewing things involving pure black background. For example, when I open the "Settings" and try scrolling through the list that is shown in the black background, the text leaves streaking effect (leading to multi color dots in the black areas). As a result, the text in the black background becomes scrambled. This problem also happens when the phone is powered on and the start up splash screen (samsung logo in pure black background) appears. The weird fact is that the screen looks absolutely normal when there is no "pure black" element involved in the display and all other colors looks okay.
Just to confirm, I installed the Gingerbread version again (using custom ROM) and the screen works perfectly okay even when scrolling through the various settings with pure black background. Splash screen at the start up doesn't leave any streaks/dots either.
Finally, I tried to install ICS once again in OTA mode and the display issue started happening again. Please find attached the image that shows the problem.
Could you please let me know if I am missing something.
P.S: One more interesting point to note is that the problem happens only when the screen is kept in the portrait mode. The moment I turn the phone to the landscape mode, the screen becomes perfectly clean.
Thanks,
KB.
Hi,
I have attached a couple more screenshots that illustrates the problem.
The issue gets fixed once I put the phone in landscape mode and the issue doesn't happen when displaying colors other than black.
Thanks!

Hi Vikesh,
I am not facing any issues with GB. The display is absolutely perfect when I tried out GB. I tried the following sequence:
1. The phone was working perfectly in GB and I decided to upgrade to the official ICS
2. Upgraded my phone to ICS using Samsung Kies. Found the display issue the minute ICS started
3. Worried about the problem, I tried flashing the stock GB ROM. This fixed the display issue
4. Tried upgrading to ICS once again - without KIES this time (using Wifi - OTA). Upgrade went without any error, but the display problem started once again after the upgrade
Currently I am using the ICS and it works fine except for the aforementioned display problem. Even the display is pretty responsive and I don't feel any lag while using the phone. Display issue gets sorted the moment I turn the phone to the landscape mode and the problem happens only with black backgrounds in the display.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do and I am thinking of moving back to GB.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,

buddy, This kinda problem I never faced. Might b few problem while updating your device, is occurring (which is not reporting as error). So, My suggestion is can you please use ODIN V3.07 & flash it using Offiline mode. i.e. Flashing ICS using ODIN.
Procedure is here -> Click here
First 3 question & answer will let you know everything.
If still problem persist, then do visit SSC or flash latest cm10.1 & based ROM over it.

[Q] 4.4.2 wallpaper switches back

For some odd reason after the 4.4.2 update, my wallpaper keeps switching back to the old wallpaper I had before after every reboot.

Screen rotation problems.

Hi everybody I am a Skyrocket user. Some days ago I flashed stock android 2.3.5 on my phone via Odin, just to check some performance and old apps. A day later I flashed back JellyBean 4.1.2 stock but I noticed this problem. When I flip my phone to landscape, it rotates quickly and smooth like it always did. But when I flip back to portrait, it stucks in landscape for some seconds before rotating. This is a problem it doesn't always do, sometimes it rotates immediately like it should. I turn auto rotation off as I don't always need it but some apps like camera and youtube still autorotate. I thought it might be a problem with calibration but it didn't help. I'm on stock JellyBean, no rooted.
(If it helps: I was rooted after flashing the firmware and removed some system apps but only AT&T apps like code scanner,mog music etc, and I later unrooted the phone. Tried factory reset also re-flashed the firmware again to see if it might help with the problem but it didn't.)

If you tried odin back to stock, and the problem is still there on complete stock then it's probably time for a new phone unfortunately.
a few tips:
1. make sure you check the MD5 to make sure those files downloaded ok and aren't corrupt.
2. make sure you cable is good & you're using a USB port on the back of your PC
3. Ebay phones. even sold as new might not be new even though they look new. Could be just brand new replacement parts and new packaging, etc.
4. Check Vincom's troubleshooting thread! read the stickies! if you haven't, maybe something you overlooked as well.

[Q] Most Widgets Won't load on homescreen

Hi There,
I have a problem that I just noticed. Literally sitting at my desk with my phone sitting in a new universal car dock that arrived today. the phone was in sleep mode when I double-tapped and swiped to unlock, I notice that my Sense UI clock was gone.
So I tried to put the clock widget back and it will not load. I restarted my phone and still no widget.
It seems the only widgets that will load are widgets that have nothing to do with the clock. Even my Beautiful Widgets will not load.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nevermind...
I installed the latest rom.

Alternating lock screen wallpaper question

Since I upgraded to Nougat I have developed this issue. I use the option to set my lock screen wallpaper to rotate between 30 selected images from my photos. This works for a few hours. Everytime I look at my lock screen its a different image. Then it stops alternating. I have to go in and select a new batch of photos. It then works for a few more hours. It never stops on the same photo. Anybody else see this happening?
have u tried to Wipe and restart the device?
back up everything first!
No I have not done that yet. I used it all the time before the update. I went ahead and tried it on my wifes phone that also updated to Nougat and it does the same thing. Maybe someone else can try it and see if it works?
One other thing I've noticed. If I unlock my phone often it will keep changing. It seems like it stops working when the phone sits untouched for awhile. Could it be the doze feature? This problem did start right after upgrading to nougat. I see that you can select apps that you don't want doze to affect but what would I choose for the stock screen saver app?
