Hi,
I have a Z3 and it happens from time to time randomly.
The screen would seems washed out in "grey" somehow...
For example,
I use the Dark theme for LINE application. Normally it would be pretty Dark Grey. But when it happens, it becomes Light Grey.
It is not only happening in just this application, but in all other application as well.
I took a screenshot of it while it's washed out. Then I took another screenshot of it while it's normal.
When I compare both of the screenshots. Both of them look EXACTLY the same... So I guess it's not a software problem but a screen hardware problem instead?
Not sure if any of you have this issue?
It's hard to explain, hope it was clear enough....
Thanks in advance!
Try to turn off X-Reality in display settings. See how it goes.
I tried it and even restarted my phone. Still the same

my guess is, it's simply the display brightness which is automatically set
Everyone has this problem I also have its software related and Sony has to fix it, it mostly happened with whatsapp and soundenhancement app in Lollipop it seemed fixed
I have the same exact problem. Turning the screen off and on fixes it temporarily. I thought it was a hardware issue at first.

Oh really? I thought it was a hardware issue as both screenshots looked exactly the same though they were suppose to be different. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm sure it's not the brightness.... I tried changing the brightness and even unchecking Auto. Still the same.

Yes that's exactly my problem! Turning screen off and on fixes it temporarily.... You thought it was a hardware issue at first? So it's actually a software issue? Have you found a fix already?

Hmmm i played with white balance, and i still get the washed out from time to time... is it really not a hardware issue?

I dont think its a hardware issue as it gets fixed after turning the screen off and on. It's definitely a software issue.
Its back in lollipop!! This is frustrating

I have taken screenshots during the occurances, and after, but they look the same after I restart, so that is why I wont post pics.
What happens is, probably 4 times now, is that the screen suddenly changes. The whole screen will look fuzzy, as if the resolution were slightly lowered, and colors will appear to be off. I use the Chrome browser for example, and when it happens the bar on the top turns from the usual grey to almost a peach color. The text is no longer sharp as well. It usually happens while browsing, but once happened while looking at photographs.
A simple reboot fixes the error, but it is inconvenient and strange.
Has anyone else seen this?
Any ideas as to why it is happening?
There is an option to change to negative colours. Maybe you're selecting it by mistake?
This issue is interesting. For the first time today I noticed some blurring. After a restart it corrected. Its certainly worth keeping an eye on. It could be a certain app messing with the tab.

Thanks but no, I'm pretty good with gadgets and I am definitely not accidentally switching to negative, that would turn everything black, and would not make anything blurry or pixelated.

It is subtle. The first time I noticed it, I wondered if it had ever happened before and I missed it. It's only obvious when I'm carefully reading text in the browser, but it is definitely there.
I would say return it if it continues. There are bound to be lemons here and there. I haven't noticed this with mine though, but I have blacktie from BB if it does. I'm not even worried if it tumbles or something stops working.
I would return it. It sounds like it could be a hardware issue to me...
Hey, I bought used Nexus 5 but notification light is too weird. I tried another rom but problem didn't solved. Anybody saw this before?

That's not a very good picture, I can't make a determination based off of that. If you post a clearer one I can definitely help you.
It kind of looks like a Chinese replacement screen. I'm not 100% sure with the picture supplied, but I'm going to guess that's what's going on.

You are probably right. Cause my Nexus 5 is white but handset(ear speaker) is black. Is there any way to solve issue?
@ldubs & @drago10029
Sorry for picture quality. On picture my notification led is lighting faulty.

Well respawn, you can test it with some LED notification apps. Change the color see what happens. Otherwise you can replace the light yourself if it's damaged or return the device (assuming the seller didn't say the LED light was broken) Hope it works out for you.

I tested, nothing changed except color.
Somebody told me maybe this yellow thing(under the picture) just moved. Is that possible?
I got a little money back. So it's not a big problem but i wanna fix it.

Hi, does anyone have random screen flicker (white flash) in miliseconds when pressing home button and waking up the screen? For me its randomly appearing when I wake up the phone from sleep just before lockscreen fades in.
Yes, I have it on stock kernel, but did not notice it on Superkernel V1.1. Probably it'll be patched in the future.

I only have blue flashes instead of white. Have seen it in GS3 too. Think it's normal. Isn't it?

I dont think its normal, I had S4 and all ok... On which Firmware version are you? Im currently on APB9 thinking of switching to APC8, maybe there isnt that bug since few people reporting the same bug...

It occurs very rarely and was experiencing this from S3 to S6 and now in S7. It should be normal.

Installed the new APEQ firmware, bug still present but rarely...
I too have the exact same issue. Yesterday I took it to service center & this guys just reflased the rom (Factory setting) & said there is no issue with the unit everything is working fine.
Today i saw the flicker again & recorded a short clip to show them but theg refused to accept it & said its normal.
I don't know what to do shud I live with it?
I just got that too. Its normal they say? Thats bs.
I had the same problem several times all of the occured while the lhone was charging
Any idea how to fix this? It is related to a hardware problem?
No ideeas ???
It is not a hardware problem, most probably a software issue. I see it when I unlock my device just after I lock it. Most probably animation can't keep up with the screen etc. I don't care.
Edit: when you have aod on you don't encounter with the same problem.
So its not a flickering screen hardware problem(more often in cold wather) like S5 has (with this problem becoming a green flickering)??
Has anobody been able to find a solution to this problem?
It's not happening on nougat anymore.
I think i have read somewhere that L Speed is causing this. If you have it, try to uninstall and see if there is any change.
Hi!
My screen behave strange from a few days:
- Sometimes the screen slightly flashes, I can see it especially when it's in charge and it has brightness low or very high
- The screen is slightly yellowish. I tried setting it with the nvidia tool to setup colours, but even setting temperature at maximum screen remains yellowish
- I'm experiencing burn-in which is very rare for a ips screen
- Gradient background show bands of different colour gradation.
I tried a wipe and nothing change, so I think I have to send it back. I have this device from 2 months and I never had this issues. I would like to know if someone other had these issues and what do you think it's better do.
Wrong thread, sorry.

Now I returned back and I have a new one. There are still banding problems but now it's working all correctly.
Very strange how screen panel works so much different on different shield tablet k1
Thanks anyway
Hey Guys n' Gals!
Question, has anybody had their primary screen malfunction?
Now when I fold my phone either open or closed, the screen sometimes goes black. After 1-2sec the screen turns on again.
Sometimes the screen also flashes in a bright yellowish or green color when it is being folded.
Anyone have these symptoms? Any fix? or is it a hardware issue?
Thats is EXACT issue i had, i sent it in repair but they could not fix it... but instead put a diffrent firmware on it or something

Does your screen now work again with no issues?

Most likely a hardware problem. Could be a lose connection or something more serious. Did you drop your phone or something before this started?
Take it to warranty asap

You'll have to get it checked at a good service centre. Let's hope it is a minor issue.

There is no way a firmware would resolve a hardware issue (if it was that)
