help whats the go - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something has happened parts of my web pages are now a light cream colour instead of the usual white. This also is present in some menu areas and also same with facebook app.
Example in the facebook app is the box to write your comments in is a light creamy colour same with the comments left by others. I have checked my settings but couldn't see anything that could change this.
I did replace the lcd screen with a genuine screen.
Any ideas whats the go? Thx

the screen you replaced wasn't genuine then. I replaced my screen previously too and all the blues were greenish.

Was this on your arc? All other colours are perferct its some menu items and boxs thar cone up with this cream colour highlite ..
I just asked the guy I got housing and screen from and he assured me its SE stock. It even has the factory applied screen protector.
Looks like nothing I can do will have to get use to it.

Well still no luck. Just to give an example the keyboard butons are a.creamy grey color. Some menu drop.down boxs are the same.
Ive been.assured the screen is genuine by the seller. All other colors are produced properly.
So im stumped as its very anniying. Btw after connrcting phone to tv via hdmi cable it showe proper colots there wich woukd suggest its my new screen ?...

[Q] Changing the color of the menu

Sorry for the new thread, i don't know how to search for it, that's why I made a new thread. I have a Note N7100 white, and I would like to change the color(skin) of the menu/settings/messages etc. that is black to white. That's surely from android, but if it's someone who could tell me if it's possible, I would appreciate. I searched in all the settings, and I haven't found nothing. So the question would be >>> How can I change the skin from black to white?

they set it to black for a reason.
when amoled is forced to display white, it consumes more than twice the amount of power of an LCD screen trying to display white. you'll burn through your battery too quickly.
when an amoled is forced to display black, it switches itself off and consumes no power, which is why it is set to black by default.
If u want to change your background/color of messages/sms menu .. 1. Choose messages(app) 2. Hit menu touch key and choose settings and there u can change your display options..
I hope this helps for you (thought u wanted ro change only messages/sms menu)

[Q] Note 2 screen problem?

I bought my phone from an online store in Romania on February 22.I have warranty and other things, it was brand new. I kept the screen on full brightness, and Dynamic color mode. That's how I like it. I was aware of burn in so I switched colors with a display tester every 3 days or so. Yesterday I noticed that the spot where status bar is used to be in portrait mode is brighter than the rest of the screen when displaying blue, white and grey colors. Brighter not Darker. I searched on Google images and that doesn't look like burn in. It wasn't here until yesterday when I spotted it. It's barely visible with display tester but in Games videos photos and multi colored things it can't be finded, You need to look with max attention. I used Nova launcher to hide the status bar. I also heard that there are 2 different things, image retention which is fixable and permanent burn in. I searched for something like this but I don't seemed to find something good. I don't know what it is,I never browsed the Web without changing the pixels where the status bar is for more than 20 minutes. I heard burn in occurs in extreme cases. I don't know how this happened so that's why I'm asking you guys. I don't know even what to do it bothers me only in display tester, but otherwise the screen is perfect. Please give me an advice because I don't want to have a faulty screen.. Can it even be repaired under warranty for that?
No one knows what's the problem?
Maybe you could post a photo ?
Look at the top of the screen...That's actually what I'm seeing when looking on a blue test background.This kind of discoloration/brightness where the notification bar usually is when in portrait mode.This is not a screenshot or photo ,it's just a blue image that i modified to show about i'm talking about.It also happens on grey and white and cyan .I couldn't take a photo because i have a crap 7 MP shooter ,and one crapper 2 MP shooter on my old Galaxy Y.I tried them both but noone of them can catch thatstrange discoloration/burn-in/brightness
Xda don't let me to post links..That's the link without the X'es so delete X from this link to go to the image hXttp://i4XX4.tinypic.coXXm/2w4g39j.jpgX
I really don't know what this can be.
I have the same problem! I noticed it a few weeks ago. The bar on top, when in full screen mode, is slightly brighter/lighter compared to the rest of the screen. I can see it the most when using the browser. The screen looks slightly more yellow compared to the grayer (or something like that) bar. Remember the bar is not actually there, just the discoloration in its place. I have no idea what is causing this and I'm hoping it's not hardware related.
It ain't hardware if it shows up in a screenshot. Looks like the exact dimensions of the status bar, almost as if it's compositing it or it's shadow placeholder where it expects it to be. Try a different ROM, or install the Simplistic Framework and try changing the status bar's colour and transparency setting, see if it makes any difference.

I wrote that.It doesn't show up in screenshots.I edited a blue picture to look exactly like my phone screen.The problem I think it's the screen itself.And the reason for why I edited a picture is that as I said my shooters can't spot it.Any ideas?Also I use the stock ROM ,un-rooted..Everything stock ,including the notification bar.I just have a custom launcher wallpaper and widgets...
It shows up when you turn the phone in landscape mode as well. It remains on the side as a vertical discoloration where the notification bar resides when in portrait mode. I'm not pleased to say the least.

Exactly what's happening to me.
Made in china phones r crap..made in korea by samsung is gud quality
If you have the warranty the warranty, why not use it? Since the problem is from the phone itself.
This is same like what happen to OG note..i thought sammy already solve the problem when they using RGB instead of pentile on our note 2.. this is not good...
I check mine, so far nothing yet. But i afraid now!!

I always set brignest to auto and screen movie mode. So maybe it did save mine from that problem

My phone was on Dynamic and Full Brightness all the time.I love oversaturated and bright screens.LOVE AMOLED <3
Well I found a solution to the problem. It takes time to pull off and is still a work in progress for me but it's working.
I created an image that matched the resolution of the phone screen. I then made a rectangle at the top of this image that presents the exact size of the status bar and colored it white. The rest of the image was colored black.
I installed an app that keeps the screen on without dimming when plugged into the charger. Overnight I display the image I created with the screen set to stay awake and don't dim at full brightness. So what you see is a black screen with a full brightness white strip where the status bar is supposed to be.
This process quickly "ages" the status bar area and it slowly starts to match the rest of the screen. I've been doing it for almost a week and the difference between the two sections of the screen is starting to diminish. I bet a couple more weeks of this and the difference between the two sections will be gone.
I got the problem as well. And I'm telling as many people as I can because I'm annoying like that. Seriously, I hate the fact that I spent such money on faulty phone...Samsung galaxy note 2. <blech>

Watch can't replicate greys

Hi all,
So I've had my Smart Watch 3 for a while now and overall it's great. There's just one thing that's doing my head in... Any screen that uses grey as a background displays in brown... It's not nice at all. True blacks are fine, but any shade of grey is looking awful...
Here's a screenshot from the device and a photo of the same screen:
I can't post external images so now I can't show my problem... Is there another way of showing my problem?
Well, to show the problem, you could link to an image on Google docs or something. As for fixing it, that is a tall order.
It's a tradeoff of the Trans reflective screen. I'll take being able to see the screen without Backlight.
Indeed.

faint vertical lines

hey xda so today i got my lg g3 but i noticed that it has vertical lines running faintly through the lcd screen, its fairly anoying when you start noticing and for me it kinda ruins the experience, so is it fixable? or simply a thing as the phone is 1440p
I dont see any on mine, you could try to invert colors in the notification panel and if that wont work you should have it replaced.

well i cant see it where its black but white/light colored i can, send n mail to lg regarding it.

I recently cracked my screen and replaced it. Now brown is where black should be.

Details about screen and for context
The the last screenshot of notification panel is on dark mode, the panel should be black but its brown/grayish.
The 2nd one shows the black color (just for comparison)
I replaced screen from a 3rd party. The service is legit.
First thing i noticed is that , the screen calibration has been stuck on which seems like default color profile. There is no visible change when i switch between sRGB , Soft and Default. Custom does work as intended (add blues and yellow when i move slider).
I contacted the service i used and they have been very vocal. They have no idea what it is. I'm guessing something with color profiles issues. Hoping you would help me solve this mystery. Also any idea to get the screen calibration unstuck on a single profile. Thank you.
Will update post with more info if asked.
