Hey Awesome developers,
I'm running onto a weird problem on this Samsung Galaxy SII Plus.
When while colors are displayed, the screen shows a blue-ish/yellow-ish tint on some specific areas. (See the photos below)
Do any of you have this issue? And does anybody have a solution?
Thanks!

Do a test. Check if there is an area on the back of your phone that heats up when you run a game or when you use the phone for more time. If it is, then the video chipset is burned. If you have the phone in warranty, use it, because this is an hardware problem and you don`t hane anything to do.

Trying this right now. I'm not sure about how amoled works, but is it actually possible that a screen changes color when the video-chipset gets too hot? Shouldn't that affect the entire screen?
Re
No. For example, when my video chipset gets hot on my tablet, half of the screen gets colored lines. This is one example, but i`m working at an it service and i see this kind of problem daily. This kind of problem can appear if you drop the phone, overclock it or if it was damaged from factory. It`s true that the same lines cand appear on the display, but only if you dropped it. If the phone was not dropped, it is a chipset problem not a mechanical one.

I`ve seen devices with damaged video chip-sets that do things like north pole aurora, some that pixelate the image, some of them with colored lines, others with artifacts and a lot of other symptoms all from a damaged video chip-set. If the pixel layer of the display is the problem, when you put pressure on the screen, the lines must move. But if don`t, the chip-set is the problem. Test it and see what it is. Good luck!

I have a treo 750. Its used and I don't know what the guy before me tried to do with it, but it looks like all he did was install the official WM5 to WM6 update. My problem now (and part of the reason he sold it) is that there seems to be some serious screen corruption. I'm inclined to think there may be a driver issue? I cant even see the bootscreen. All I can see are a couple of vertical and horizontal bars (mostly around the top) with a multicolor spectrum. The rest of the screen is blank. Hard-reset, soft-reset, neither works to fix it. Oddly, if I access the device through MyMobiler and regedit/change to font to something that it hasn't used before (ex. calibri, arial) it seems to bring it back to life... still no boot screen, but the os will work fine. If I put it in standby mode and then try and bring it back on, I'm back to the corrupt screen. At the moment I've turned off the power-idle feature and just let it go to backlight off while leaving the device on all the time, but I cant leave it like that forever. Any thoughts? Am I able to update the display driver or something?
PS. Display works on my PC through MyMobiler with no problem.
Thanks in advance.
having exact same problem
I am having the exact same problem. The only way to avoid the display corruption seems, like you said, to avoid putting the phone in standby mode... but then leaving it like that all day will drain the battery very fast, obviously.
I'm curious as to what the cause is. My phone is out of warranty already. Purchased summer 2007.
rjackets, have you done anything since your post?
Hey i Still have the same problem, did anyone find an answer yet?
Is this what you're seeing? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bootloader.jpg
no, it's like all the 1st vertical pixels get extended to the right end and the lines keep flashing, i kind find my battery atm but it looks something like this texture, just with pixels:

Had the phone for about 2 months, both the back and the front cameras show these green and pink lines through the screen when shooting vids and pics, even embeds them into the pictures themselves.. And since its BOTH camera lenses, I cant help but think its a software issue... Not sure though, any help ?
Can you show us what you're talking about?

People have had some success with removing the battery from the phone, letting it sit for a few minutes then reinserting battery and turn phone back on.
It's an issue HTC is aware of with this phone and the Sensation.

I had that once, I had to reboot the phone and all was good..
try clearing all data on your camera through the applications folder as well, see if it helps.
thanks jsyi84, thats exactly what it was looking like.. I actually started to treat it like a pc and stopped all the services that were running... After reaching the HTC Sense service and stopping it, it restarted and the camera returned to normal. Thanks soo much I thought I was going to have to go through the hassle of replacing it...
This happenned to me twice. A simple reboot fixed the issue. I should also add that this happenned on the stock rom before I did S-off and on Undead's 3.5 senseless rom. So it could be a hardware issue too...
i don't have the proper term for this but let's call it screen discoloration
screen sometimes turn into purple hue randomly but when i turn off the screen it goes back to normal immediately
my device have stock ICS and rooted
please see attachments for picture.
the purplish tint disappears when i lock the screen
the blue pics shows the normal screen
screenshots appear normal so i took actual pictures instead
do you encounter the same on your device?
DISCOLORED

yeah this looks familiar, happens only if I fiddel with gpu voltage and speed..
the white flash is something everybody get from time to time

It happens to my P6800 from time to time though very rare.
I have not yet found out why and when happens it.
My guess is that it happens while surfing in stock browser
My device w/ PA 2.55 JB v4.1.2 custom rom modded by Daniel.
I have to admit that the both Androguide and Daniel made awsome job and let us have such a gift.
Anyone else?
i'm also have this problem and since that my acren look not have a good color depth o dont know if this just my imagination anyway mine happen when i played 10 pin bowling any auggestion on how to fix the issue?
Today I face this issue when working with stock file manager
Any solution/reason yet?
No solution yet, would you mind edit your post and supply what rom ure using?
I can trigger the inverted colors more often when uv the gpu, maybe a voltage glitch??
Normaly I experience it once every 2 months or so, but others might get it often..
hey guys that issue i posted above has no fix yet since it only appears rarely
i thinks it's a hardware glitch..after reflashing the latest ics fw i haven't had it again
Hi,
I got this weird problem and im not sure is this a hardware problem or not. For example. when using menus with white background, the background goes partly blue. Sometimes the graphic error is only blue lines in some part of the white background.
but when checking one option in same menu the background turns normal or atleast there is some change in the background. So these errors reacts only when changing options. And theyre always in the same position when going the same menu.
Also when using camera. the view is messed up a bit. there is a clear line somewhere in the picture when going dark to bright. With my english its hard to explain especially when i dont have any idea what is causing this problem.
Below are two attachments that explains the problem much clearer than i can write:

And before you ask. Yes, it has dropped and i have replaced the glass. But i got it with broken glass so i dont know was it like this before it dropped and the previus owner couldnt tell either.
Any possible solutions?
Thank you in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue, just for the heck of it I would open it up and check the ribbon cable to the digitizer/screen, it could be loose.
Pp.
Checked it. Same problem. Tried to change brightness level, hard reset, rooting etc with no luck.
Its just so weird that in some situations the screen looks totally normal. only these few situations cause errors in the screen.
Hmmm, there are dialer codes that are used on phones that run a series of tests to check screen performance and output, don't know if this can be done on a tablet, but I would research it.
The only other time I heard of this was on a phone that recovered from falling in a toilet, the phone was dismantled and cleaned and assembled and it worked fine for over a year, the only glitch was an occasional color spasm on the screen similar to what you discribe.
Pp.
Thanks for the tip! Need to look for those codes when i get back home. I removed the logic board and cleaned it with denat. alcohol. No visible damage at least! trying to assembly it back later today. I decided to order a new LCD flex cable. Its the cheapest part to change.
No luck with the codes i found. after cleaning still same graphical problems. Now i can only wait the new flex cable and hope it will fix those errors.
Anyways thanks for replys and suggestions. :good:
My two month old POCO X3 NFC 128GB appears to be randomly exhibiting a graphics fault. Occasionally upon screen wake up, this sort of graphics corruption occurs (see first image below)
The first two times this happened, the corruption was blue, the one in the image is red, it looks like a low resolution, low colour mode, and the only way to get the screen to go back to normal is to reboot. I have not managed to intentionally cause the error to appear.
Screenshotting while the error is occurring shows a normal screen without the issue.
Has anyone seen anything like this or have any idea what is causing it? This is my first Xiaomi phone after reluctantly switching to them from three previous Huawei mobiles. Very disappointing and annoying to have an intermittent error two months into owning this phone.

I have indian variant, have exactly this issue.
After updating to 12.0.9 once a while display acts like this.
You don't need to reboot simply go in settings/ display/colorscheme and click standard Display will be back to normal, it's a software glitch which came with new update

Thank you for your message, this very interesting to hear as I have not seen anyone else talking about this and I was beginning to wonder if it was a hardware issue as the fault looks very much like graphics chip corruption. The next time this happens I will try your fix without rebooting to see if it helps, thanks again.
