So I've been running ODP4 since release, without issues. Until tonight, I take my phone out of my pocket and realize something about my display looks wrong....I then realized when looking at the white Google home page, my color temprature is not right at all. Screen appears to have a gray/green tint now to it, and doesn't seem to get as bright as it should or is to.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated, as this is extremely annoying and a bit concerning (possible sudden hardware issue somehow?) Thanks in advance.
Flash back to stock 7.1.2 and see if that resolves your issue. If not then it's most likely a hardware issue.
Hello fren, I saw you on Reddit, I'm u/Nickalope :highfive:

Hey guys,
My phone seems to have a strange issue where what you were doing previously is still showing on the screen. For example, I was playing draw something and then opened up the xda app. During the loading I could still see the page where I was guessing the word. Is anyone else having this issue? Also, do you believe it's worth sending my phone back, as the warranty is coming to an end. I feel it's getting worse

Is this on just one ROM you are using, or have you noticed it on several. If so, I believe it is a hardware fault.
I think you should send it in for warranty

Well icecoldsandwich and Cm9 are the only two ROMs I have used lately and they both have the fault. But they also both share the fact they're both ice cream sandwich
Just when I had settled down to a ROM, I'm having to change again

Screen Burn ?
Isn't it the Screen Burn issue ? Have you set your brightness too high ?
I have the same issue, I thought it was the screen burn issue. Happens across all ROMS, but it fades after a while so I'm not really bothered.

My brightness is always on auto brightness. I don't think it's ever on the highest brightness.
Also mine fades quickly, but before it was hardly visible. Now you can see the previous image clearly. But this only seems to happen on certain screens.
Seems to be a common issue, most people say it disappears after a while. Might as well just leave it. Not worth putting my phone back to stock.
I'm experiencing it with all the ROMs. It annoys me sometimes, but goes away quickly.
Anyway, you're not an isolated case...

Screen burn, burn-in, image retention.
I'm on my 3rd DS and they've all had it. It's annoying but it didn't last so that's something I suppose.
Apparently it's fairly common with SLCD screens.
Lowering the brightness, hiding the statusbar, and some livewallpapers/screensavers have helped in my experience though.

i too had the same issue previously.. but back then i always had the screen brightness set to the lowest. thought it was due to that and now am changing the brightness based on the lighting of the environment as i hate to set it to auto.. after that am not seeing that issue
Hi guys
I have a screen problem with my SSGS i9000 - really hope you can advise a novice like me.
Yesterday, all of a sudden the screen looked really washed out, like the contrast/gamma had been turned up too far. Gmail, internet, pictures and videos are looking really pale and not clear - washed out and cloudy. The end call button more orange than red, battery indicator looks fuzzy. In phone settings the screen is set to lowest brightness.
Exactly this same issue occured in June last year when the phone was 7 months old. I took it to my supplier here in the UK (Carphone Warehouse). The onsite engineer updated the software to the then latest version - Gingerbread & 2.3.3. This cured it. All has been fine since, until yesterday.
Based on my previous experience I decided to check for software updates on Kies. Kies updated it to 2.3.5. Screen problem remained.
On advice of a friend, he suggested a "proper" reinstall - I read up about ODIN and last night took the plunge and I flashed the phone to:
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-cl1043937
Build: gingerbread.XXJW4
The phone is working beautifully, but the screen problem remains.
My question is is there anything else I can do on the software/reflashing of the phone to sort this issue? Is there anything I've missed or should do? Or has the screen had it and require replacement? ie. is it a hardware fault?
I should add, I hardly use this phone. It gets very very light use as a second phone largely for gmail. I get 4-5 days out of it on standby - that's how little it's used!
Hope you can help me.
Cheers in advance

the SAMOLED is a wonderful piece of technology, but it isnt without its flaws. In particular the Blue emitters 'burn' out quicker than the other colours. This is affected by certain variables such as the average screen brightness, how long the screen has been on for (total on life time) as well as the infusion of the AMOLED matrix during manufacture.
IMO your screen is fine. on some mods, you can change the phones render effect, by making the white tone shift more blue / red / green. If this issue is really bugging you, try find a mod that enables you to make this change.
Cheers for the reply.
The low level of use is what puzzles me as to why this issue could have occured.
Common problem with all SGS. Bound to happen sooner or later. Just learn to live with it, unless you are under warranty, and can get it replaced by Samsung.

Cheers Olly, so it's hardware failure?
Out of warranty now so I guess live with or replace?

Unfortunately so mate :/
I think you could probably get it replaced by Sammy, but you'd have to pay them, as your warranty is gone.
I'm suffering similar problems ROM my Desire S with a SLCD screen, I'm slowly learning to live with them!

Cheers Olly, appreciate your input.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem... My screen bugs out multiple times a day. Regardless of the ROM I am running. The only way to fix the problem is to lock the screen, and unlock. Kind of annoying. Just started happening recently, and like I said, on multiple Roms. Anyone else having the same problem??

Bad LCD
Mine freaks out too. Like static on old black and white uhf tv's. I think its a loose wire cause the only way to fix it is to smack the back of the phone (....just like an old tv). I thought about changing the LCD but since its a release day thunderbolt, I'm due for an upgrade soon. I think I'm just going to ride it out.

Hi, the top 2/3 of my screen has a slight yellow tint. I have a Rogers skyrocket and not at&t. I have this problem running the stock ics rom and the superlite ICS rom. I figure this is a hardware problem but just in case its a software problem I was wondering if anyone had the same problem and possibly got rid of it by flashing a different kernel? Also, im wondering if theres any software that could inrease the white balance of the screen to counteract the effect or something similar (I did find an app that could increase the blue filter but it wasnt much help). Thanks!

If it is happening on either stock or developer rom, then I would highly suspect that it is a hardware issue. The only other time I have experienced anything like this was with my wife's iphone 4. and it was because a cable had come partially loose inside. Pressed it back into place and the tinge was gone.
I think there is an app on the market which you may use to diagnose lcd issues. Not certain.
Hi, first of all sorry for my english
I have the one plus for about a year now and never have a problem but since a month ago the phone started to show a yellowness in the top left corner and it gets extremely hot when I'm watching YouTube or even when using Instagram. I'm pretty sure its a hardware issue but I want to know if someone know if there is a way to fix it.
Also I have tried a lot of rooms official, unofficial, sultan, darkobas,omni,slim, COS12/13 and non of them seems to have a differences in my problem
I will add some photos of it later.

Definitely sounds like hardware issue.
