lines on screen ??? Need Help ASAP - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey i just bought a gs3 carrier is telus. I have random horizontail lines on the screen only when in browser or doing anything else on the ui but not when playing video heres some screen shots everything works fine but they get in the way of text and pictures

Interesting. Because you are able to take a screenshot of it I highly doubt its a hardware issue.
Upon further inspection you can see the line is broken on the last picture. Once again, can't be a problem with the LCD.
You sure that it isn't the background wallpaper that's designed like that? If anything I would reset the phone and see if it disappears. Or bring it back to telus.
OR! Root the phone and install a custom rom. I mean you are posting this in XDA anyways right?? Lol

[Q] Wallpapers becoming distorted/corrupt-looking

Running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly #22, invisiblek kernel 2.6.35.10 beta, HBOOT .92, stock radio, Rover's theme for nightly #22, and using wallswitch v 2.0.2.
There really isn't much I can say besides that it doesn't go away until a reboot. Any clue why this is happening? Image explains it all.
Does this happen on a stock install of CM7? I have CM7 and have never had the problem. I have a feeling it could be something to do with the theme or that wallswitch program.
Thinking it could possibly be because that app isn't made for GB yet?
No idea what would cause that or how to fix it (other than the reboot for a temp fix you mentioned), but at least it looks kinda cool lol in sort of a "I hope this isn't due to damaged hardware" kind of way lol.

If it was on a regular PC, I would say that the video card was over heating or the connector is going bad.
One way to check is to take a screen shot. If it is the connector the screenshot will not show the artifacts.

I'm a PC tech and that's exactly why I took the screenshot
Screenshot shows the artifacts so it's not due to a bad physical connection but if it is hardware related (the artifacts) the screenshot will show it. I doubt that the GPU is at fault here since it is ONLY the wallpaper that becomes artifacted. App drawer and every other thing I have tested while the wallpaper is artifacted do not have any issues at all. This is leading me to believe that the wallpaper switching app I use is at fault.
Try bringing the wallpaper into photoshop or something. And resave it out as a .png or .jpg or something that it's not originally and bring it back into the phone. Sometimes the actual picture files themselves can corrupt when being downloaded or transfered.

The file itself does not become corrupted. It is also not just one wallpaper that does this. I have ~6 wallpapers that the app switches through and they all do this at one point or another. Also, if it was the actual file becoming corrupted then that would show even after a reboot or viewing it on my PC from the SD card where it is located.
it is really pointing to the wallswitch program at this point, i have to agree with your assessment before...have you tried rolling w just a standard wallpaper, i know thats the simplistic approach, but sometimes simple is so much easier...have you contacted that apps dev to check compatiblity w GB? Good luck and i hope there is an easy fix...very odd problem

Yeah, it really is the app itself. I haven't contacted the devs about it yet but I plan on it. Using one wallpaper without the app I have no issues so mystery solved. I'm just happy that it wasn't a bigger issue.

When i change screens the image behind frozen until change is complete, is normal?

like i said in the title, when i change the screen in the sense the image not panning in real time, only change quick when the screen i choose is changed 100%, is normal or i can change this?
In the One V, it changes in real time, when i swap with the finger to the left or right the image go with the finger in the same speed i want to change the screen.
mine goes in real time. using viper1.0.1
mine still stock rom... i just ask if that issue is normal in One X, because a cheaper like One V work right...

i said: mine goes in real time. so, no, it is not normal.
yes but maybe in your phone work right because the rom you use, im asking in stock rom if anyone have the same issue..

YES! This is a known bug and normal. It is know as Live Wallpaper bug, it does happen in SENSE Roms, specially using SENSE launcher.
I never use live wallpaper anyway, so I don't care, but it is anoying for those who use it.
For those who says, no it's not normal, using a Custom ROM, it doesn't help the OP.

Camera colours permanently posterized

Hi there Gurus !
I'm hoping you guys can help...
I've recently bought a phone which was unlocked when I got it (Android Revolution HD 7.0.2 by Mike1986)
The photo below shows the camera on my old HTC Desire HD on the left and the new one on the right. Admittedly, I could have focused both cameras on the subject better, but that's not really the issue. As you can see, the colours on the new phone look posterized.
I've made sure to set the camera back to it's default settings and of course there were no effects being added to the image.
I've also tried fiddling with all the settings (Exposure / Contrast / Satruration / Sharpness / White Balance etc. etc.) but every setting still produces these dodgy colours around everything.
It's probably worth mentioning that I've also tried the [Desire HD Camera guide] on this site and the obvious cleaning of the lens !
I'm really hoping you guys can suggest something that will get this camera working. Because the phone is awesome in all other respects !
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post outside links in my message, so you should find the picture as an attachment...
All help appreciated !!
Thanks,
Wotney

...This doesn't bode well !
Let's see.
New phone, rooted, running custom rom, Right?
Does the issue happen on stock? Didn't check?
Does it happen if you full wipe and install again? Does it happen on another rom?
Is it normal? Two different dhd's can have different componenets.
No idea what you mean by posterized.
Bottom line is, if you've tried the above suggestions, it's a new phone, and if it's a hardware issue, use your warranty. The dhd has a two year warranty in most countries if not all.
Sent from a dream.
Hey - thanks very much for the reply...
It's a new phone to me, not brand new. Although I don't think it's been used properly before. Looks like someone got an upgrade and sold it to one of these companies that then sells it on for them.
I bought it from eBay and the rom was already on there when I got it.
I'm hoping you can see the attached thumbnails at the bottom of my first post - it shows me holding another Desire HD next to the new one. If you look at the image difference - you'll see what I mean by posterized.
I haven't done a full wipe and start again yet, because if I can't get it fixed - I need to return it to the seller.
Whilst I'm prepared to do that - I'd rather get it working !
If there's no other ideas from people, it looks like that is what I'll have to do
Try flashing another rom. Go for any gb rom. If you don't know how to full wipe and swap roms let me know.
Make a backup of that rom before, so that if you still have the issue, you just restore the backup and return it. As long as you don't have all your personal info in the phone.

Teichopsia, Once again - thanks for getting back to me.
I'm going to check with the person I got it from that they'll still accept a return of the phone if I go ahead and try that.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks buddy.

Original JB 4.1 and HOX green pictures?

Hey all,
i have a little problem since the world wide update for 4.1 JB - when i take pictures the flash causes the picture to become green! i know its a problem with Custom roms but mine is an original update from the server. the pictures looks like it was taken at the Matrix..haha
well its nice for effects but for real its annoying...how do i get rid of it??
BTW uploaded a pic when i tried to snap shot the cover for a friend of mine
thank you!
Another one confirming same problem as i have, and i have seen people with HOX+ also having this.
Problem seemse to be KERNEL related. ICS works great on my phone with flash but when i load any version of JB Sense i get greenish images like yours.
This is a REAL PROBLEM but apperantly no-one is noticing it besides me and some isolated users. Either people dont notice ( how can you not?) or they dont use flash that often.
I realy hope the .27 build fixes this. If i get official JB and this problem persists i realy hope HTC gets around fixing this.
Btw. this seems to be a problem with handsets all the time, small problems but still something in particular HTC have a issue with.
I can confirm this is NOT a HARDWARE issue, changing kernels fixes it so it has to do with post processing - a B/W image looks just right but with the green boosted up way to much.
Try change sarturation to max/min aswell as iso 100/800.
tnx for your answer!
its obviously not HARDWARE problem, because the regular pics goes perfect!
i tried it all - non worked its still the same...
i guess ill be waiting for a new update to come or maybe go rogue and install an unofficial ROM...
the same Something with software.
thats not fun \=
well i have posted a new question for help on HTC main Facebook page, and showed them this thread i hope we all get final answers for that itchy bug :cyclops:
Same problem
I have the same problem with stock JB...
It's software and to do with the flash bleeding, on SLR you get a florescent filter but try this.
Go take picture again this time press the cog and go to white balance, change that from auto to florescent.
Let me know if that works, I can't get mine to do it to test.

[Q] Pictures don't show- SEARCHED AND SEARCHED

Hello to all,
Im new to the forums and rooting, so I am still learning, please bear with me.
I have SEARCHED this for days and days, and still have no answer. Please don't flame, if you know where to find the answer please direct me to a link
With that said:
My dad has a SGH- T989 (Tmobile Galaxy S2).
His issues:
1) phone didn't receive calls all the time
2) when factory camera app opens all images were fuzzy or staticy
3) images of static when taken didn't save.... random icon app shows up in gallery
4) If you used Skype - camera was fine
SO I knew it couldn't be the camera itself.... so i decided to root the phone and update firmware/software and see what happens
I used CWM, then Jedi Mind tricks V6
phone seems fixed, camera screen seems fixed (no more fuzzy), but..... when you take a pic the image is a generic icon still. See pic I took with my GS4 attached.
any idea whats going on?
I have read that 4.2.x may have this issue.... should I try a different ROM?
Thanks for any direction

Try a ROM that is 4.1.x. I had a similar problem where a lot of my pictures didn't show up, so I switched to a different ROM and it seemed to have worked. I'm on Infamous right now, and it works fine. Or you can try JediJelly, which is similar to JMT, but is updated and works rather well.
