this happened like 4 months ago... i was just watching movie and suddenly the screen drops quality then starts flickering, appearing multiple dots of colors. So i immediately turn my phone OFF - removed the battery then after 3 minutes I put back then turn it ON...after that incident my phone now has LOW QUALITY of screen. All text/letters are almost look like pixelized(not really clear), white/red/blue/green shadows appears when background is black or even if the background has bright colors a white shadows appears below and above the bright color, when playing games for long time(2-3 hrs) the screen will starts flickering again(I noticed the back of the phone below the back camera is getting hot).
Before all this happened, for almost 1 week i was playing games while my phone is charging. But during the time it started i was not charging my phone. It appeared 5 hrs after i charged my phone...
My phone was NEVER DROPPED, NEVER GOT WET.
I included some Screen shots...
Is there any other way to fix this problem and restore the screen quality of my phone without buying NEW LCD? If there is, please tell me how or just give me the link or application needed to fix this issue...
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...?
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?
Didn't see this posted here yet, but forgive me if I missed it.
Trying to find out if anyone has seen or heard of any acknowledgement from Google regarding this. My new Pixel 3 (Verizon; non XL) since day 1 has had an annoying issue with the screen flashing when ambient screen engages. I have my settings with alwayson set to off, and new notifications set to on. If the screen is asleep and I get a text or any notification, the ambient screen wakes and will initially make the entire screen flash white very quickly.
I do not get a flash of the screen in any other scenario when the phones on, it only seems to be when the screens totally asleep and the ambient screen wakes. I can unlock the phone or hit the power button to fully wake the phone to my home screen with no flashing. Its not every single time, but its very often. I do notice sometimes when it doesn't flash the whole screen, the time or text on the ambient display will be at full brightness when it first wakes for a split second and then will go to the dim text Im used to seeing.
Replaced the phone through Verizon. Got another brand new one with the same exact problem. This one even flashes on reboot occasionally just before the white "Google" screen pops up. Google had me send them a bug report this time and are supposed to be having their dev team look at it.
WHY.
Mine did it once

I've also now noticed mine will flash in Instagram when I "like" something lol. Just the picture flashes within the app itself in that case, not the whole screen. Such a weird thing, that may have something to do with the app on the new pixel? I don't even know anymore.
I just saw the white flash. It was only for a few ms but it looked like a full brightness white flash on the whole screen. I had just set my phone down and I think the AOD was coming on.
Weird.
Yeah I have a feeling this is happening on way more devices than we're reading about. I hope it's addressed. Sometimes my notification audio cuts out real quick too. Hoping it's just all memory related.
I have this weird kind of screen flickering on my device as soon as I use the fingerprint area to turn the phone on. It is very faint and fast but its like static lines for half a second when the screen comes on??

Strange, I haven't had any issues like that using the fingerprint reader or just hitting the power button. Mine are all directly related to ambient screen waking.
My Pixel 3 is doing the same thing when I unlock it. Flashes like taking a selfie... I have even looked for the selfie to no avail.
It does not do this regularly, very random.

Same here. Sometimes when I tap the screen to wake it up, it flashes. Just did it a minute ago before I wrote this.

I just charged the Pixel face down; during the charge I picked it up to check the progress and I got the screen flash ~2X out of 10.

Report it to Google. I feel like it's something they're aware of (I hope) but support certainly isn't saying so if they are.
I saw a post on Android Police about bug trackers and read in some of the comments that people were having problem with screen flashing. Some of them said it was related to the always on display. Mine was flashing like white static lines. But it was only for half a second when you turn on the screen and it didnt happen every time, it was random. I turned off the AOD and it never happened again. Kinda sucks cause I like AOD. But that tells me it is a software problems and not hardware.
I turned off AOD too, for 1 day; the next day I turned AOD back on. I have not had a screen flash since (a few days now).

Try rebooting. I bet it's still happening you just may not be noticing. I've had my AOD off for a while and as soon as I turn the new notifications option it comes back. Not every time but still often.
I'm having the same issue, doesn't happen all the time but I can reproduce it usually by unlocking the device, locking it then when ambient display comes on, unlock it and the screen flashes/flickers. I've only managed to do it with ambient screen set to always on.
I've RMA'd this morning so I'll report back when the new phone comes.
I hope you RMA's for other reasons too because it is likely that you will get a phone with the same flickering problem. I think it is a software issue esp since it goes away after we turn off AOD.

I just find it strange that people are having the flicker in different scenarios, like mine is only when ambient is set to always on but other people are having the issue when it's set to double tap etc. Anyway I guess I'll see when the new phone comes.

Yeah let us know please once you get the new phone. It seems like it is hit or miss with people so you might get lucky and avoid it.

Quick update. My new phone arrived this morning and I've managed to get the screen to flash once so far where as my old one would do it 8 times out of 10. I feel like this is a poor display hardware problem rather than software.
I believe or rather am hoping that because it only happens when you turn on AOD that it is a software issue and not a hardware one. The only way something will be done is enough people complain on a bug tracker.

I accidentally dropped my Redmi Note 6 Pro in a lake and pulled it out after 5 minutes.
I also pressed the power button to see if it was working and it showed the mi loading screen which shows up on boot up.
I opened it up and kept it in the sun to dry off.
After a while, I tried to start it and it worked but the only problem was the display was way too dim for me to see anything.
I kept it like that overnight and the next day, it worked fine. Everything was good until I switched it off for a couple of hours and switched it on again.
Now, I can only use it on low brightness.
If I increase the brightness to a certain point, it blacks out (screen goes dim). The touch is working but the only problem is the display has gone way too dim.
Please, someone guide me as to what the problem might be.
Oh no!
It's probably water damage. Check for short or water or dirt and I will suggest you to not use the phone to prevent further damage
Not sure if exactly that happened to me one with chinese phone (UMI C Note), but behaviour seems similar. I've changed screen in my phone (it was watter-logged), but had the same issue with very, very low brightness. I would place my bet into motherboard issue.
