Hi,
My Nexus 5 was working fine, and hasn't been dropped/damaged, but the screen has suddenly gone green and very faint. It still works but I can't figure out what the issue is. My guess is hardware?
When I say green and faint, I don't mean just a little bit, I mean a green/yellow hue all over the screen, and faint like someone has applied super high contrast in a photo editor.
Any ideas?
Phone is stock, not rooted or modified in any way.
Thanks
Leakage?

Sorry do you mean light leakage?
The phone now has yellow borders a few mils thick on all four sides, in addition to a green hue.
Perhaps
Still under warranty?

I have the same issue as of a week ago. Except mine is pink borders and a blue tint. It was fine one night, plugged it in to charge at bed time, took it off the next morning and it was stuffed!! After a day it came right but then stuffed up again a few days after that.
I'm guessing its the display but don't know why. Looks like you can get Chinese replacement ones for about 60AU$, but the procedure looks pretty full on.
Just to update, as per poster above the phone has now returned to normal after a few days. Very strange. Factory reset, cache clear etc etc didn't work, just one day started working again.
Have the same problem
I am also having the same problem. I was charging the phone on my laptop. I took it out and suddenly the screen had a bluish - pink tinge - prominent around the corners but affecting the entire screen.
Did you find any solution?
Yep as above it just righted itself within a few days. Very strange, never seen a phone have an apparent hardware issue that's unresolved by factory reset etc then just miraculously lose the problem...but that's what happened!
It definitely has to do with the display.
i changed my original display screen as it was broken with a cheap one and since then it always gets green and pink tint while charging. After sometime it turns to the normal color.
Same problem pink/blue tint over night
I bought a used nexus5 just 2 days back but it looks stunningly scratchless so its probably refurbished I guess. Any how, I put it on charge the next night of purchase with a heavy duty charger that came with my Tablet its rating is 2Amp. In morning the phone had this blue/pink tint.
Is it a problem or will it go back as most people are saying? As long as I keep on using proper charger will it come back?
OR
Should I go back and strangle the seller...?

Hi to all. New here but have a lots of problems with my sensation. Bought sensation 1 month ago (second hand). Since i got it, it was bit slow and lugish on stock ics so i unlocked bootloader and instaled hd revolution rom. Things got bit better but screen sudenly got predominantely green color. It worked like that for a day than returned to normal. It was all fine until yesterday. Screen got this time predominantely red colour and later changed to pink and finaly stuck on blueish. It look completely unnatural. Cant watch videos or pictures on it, or do anything. Could be that signs of duying screen or digitizer perhaps?? Dont know what to do, for sure this is my last htc.
Thanks

It certainly sounds like hardware failure. The last time I saw behavior like that on an LCD screen it was because the ribbon connector that connected the screen to the motherboard was loose and shifting a little in the connector. That was on a completely different peice of hardware, but the result was similar to what you are describing.
Thanks

Thanks mate. Already tryed opening and cleaning dust, disconecting ribons and reconecting but didnt help so far, may try again. Thanks anyway brother
I have an interesting situation with my screen.
It seems that after running TWRP to restore my partition,I have a persistent pink stripe running up the left side of my screen.
I've also noticed that when TWRP runs,there"s two very bright neon blue bars up either side of the screen.
My screen brightness settings in TWRP were 40%,but sliding the control full bright or dim made no difference.
I am running TWRP 2.8.6,IIRC.
I don't know if the stripe will ever totally fade out,but it does seem to be about half as bright since it first appeared a day or so ago.
There was a stripe on the right,curved side,but that seems to be gone now.
I am running marshmallow,if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?
Anyone run into this before?
Nobody has seen this?
Just to clarify,I did post this to save others the possible problem I'm seeing.
I had this very issue. My screen would have horizontal rainbow lines. Eventually the screen turned green.
I solved the problem by first removing the battery and then the back exposing the motherboard. I disconnected all of the ribbon connectors. Then I used compressed air at a low volume to blow all over the exposed motherboard. I then reconnected the ribbon connectors making sure that they were firmly in place. After reassembling the phone and replacing the battery, everything works just fine. It's been two weeks now and no more problems.

Sounds like you had a random issue due to a dirty connection.
My issue is very defined exactly where the two blue-white bars run up either side while using TWRP.
They are pretty darned bright too.
They reminded me of the neon trim they used to put on juke boxes.
I have seen screen images of TWRP and the side bars weren't there.
I just wonder if I had a screen setting wrong or have other people seen these bars as well.
I will remember your idea though.
I use Micky387 v3.0.2 and the UIAbstract theme. It still looks odd with the theme, but better than no theme. I do not recall anything permanent because of it. I remember the stock twrp was extremely bright. I use that on my S3 too. I have 300sec and 23% brightness... I suspect the version you have is just too old? I had stripes using a cwm build, but nothing permanent either.
OTOH I have been using burn-in fix for a week now and it doesn't seem to help me. Some people swear by those apps. I got mine second hand and wasn't shown the "burnt-in keyboard"! It was only 100$ however...

My stripes have faded to a dull pink.
I've tried those pixel fixers,but they don't seem to work.
It's probably due to the way OLEDs produce light.
If I get fed up in future,I'll just do a new screen.
The stripe burns only showed up after my last round of recovery work.
The version of TWRP is the one listed for my phone at their website,IIRC.
Hi I pre ordered the phone received on April 20th all fine until today April 22nd screen developed severe red tint which is still evident on all screen settings adaptive normal etc and also does not diminish when adjusting red balance to zero.
Screen with always on display time etc which is normal solid black is now bright red!
I have restarted the phone and also full reset all appears OK for the first minute then resorts back to red screen and tint.
Is the blue light filter toggled on?

Naw that ain't right dude I would be pissed...
No already checked that but switched on and then off no difference.
Dod you drop it? Just curious?
Could you take a less blurry picture of the lock screen? It seems strange that the numbers still appear white?
Factory reset then see what happens, If it still does it, time for an exchange.
Hello,
two years ago I accidentally took my S5 for a swim, after the accident phone was resting for 18 months in a drawer. Unfortunately I cracked my next phone so S5 is now my daily driver. Everything is working fine except screen colors, everything has a yellow/grey tint and display is a lot dimmer, especially on black colors. One time when phone got really hot screen started to work just fine, all colors regent to normal but it lasted only for a few minutes, so I assumed it was heat related.
4 days ago without any reason my screen somehow healed itself and screen started to work properly again, I couldn't believe how it was possible. Unfortunately after 4 days with perfect colors, blacks was truly black and brightness was fully working screen return to the damaged state.
Does anyone know how it was possible, what actually happened and is there any way to fix it again?
Hey guys, new to XDA here.
My phone is currently experiencing green screen. It started 2 days ago. I have been using dark mode since I got this phone last year and two days ago I noticed that the screen color isnt as vibrant. Imagine a black screen with a bit of white color. I also noticed that the lower right of my screen got really hot.
Then I restarted my phone a couple of times and I also noticed that during the Huawei animation, green spots started to display on the screen. Also, the whole screen starts to green when unlocking using fingerprint.
I turned off my screen the qhole day and opened it before I went to sleep and the issue went away. But right now, the screen would randomly flicker and display green color.
Im not sure if this is a display issue. But I have read that Mate 20 suffers this as well. I wanted to ask here first before I bring this to the service center.
Anyone experiencing this as well? How did you fix it?
Thanks!
Ok, so my phone is experiencing the greenscreen right now and I dont think it will disappear anytime soon. I did, however, install the Device Info HW app on my phone. There is this 'shell_back' on the 'Thermal' tab that had risen to 41 degrees. Any idea what that is?
