Hi!
In my Galaxy Nexus, a line of pixels on the top of the screen isn't normal.
http://i.imgur.com/sd9WGXJ.png
Just see by yourselves... The line at the top of the sreen (left side when landscape mode) isn't coloured normally. Is it a screen issue or software issue? I am using coloured softkeys that I modded with metamorph but I've never noticed this problem for 3 months of softkeys modification, just now...
If it is a hardware problem I'll send it do warranty, but I need to be sure that is worth of it
Seems like a hardware problem. The app you asked about doesn't seem like it'll fix it, but worth giving it a shot.
no it doesn't fix... what kind of "pixel disease" it is?
warranty covers that?

Hi,
Every second or third time I tap my screen wherever it opens the start menu instead of touching the area I want.
Is this a config problem, a WM61 build problem, or maybe a problem linked to my HardSPL, or is it a harware problem?
I had this problem with different ROMS, and different screens.
Thanks for your help !!

I have the same problem on my HTC P3600.
It seems it's because you have dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Anybody can confirm it ?

I dont believe that it is the dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Go here: http://www.xiaprojects.com/?project=TopBar
Description from website:
This bug will popup your starmenu when:
you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)
cpu is overheating (because it's near the diplay area)
Try installing this as this does fix the problem!

I report the same here. Also HTC3600. I just doubt its problem with dust. I guess its the touchscreen or some sort of WM setts.
It happens when I hit larger area. Eg with whole finger. Not just nail, which is OK.
It cant happen with multitouch if Im right.
Soo.. if there is some solution, help someone Its annoying "feature".
edit: Well, now I see sphinxy's answer. Thx, man
problem
I believe your screen got problem... (hardware) or too much dust...
this is a well-known problem and TopBar is the solution...I'm current using it

Yes, I can confirm that topbar works. Here it is http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Tweaks/TopBar-P3600-Screen-Bug-Fix-60642.shtml
everyone, installed Topbar but still have the same problem.
So it must be a hardware problem, and since it happened with several screens, it must be on the motherboard, not the screen itself?
Or maybe it's because of my hardspl (very early version before WM61 came out)?
thanks for your help

I had a similar issue. After reading around I followed someone's advice. I don't know if this will help you but it worked for me:
1. Remove any screen protector you may have on.
2. Place a credit card under the edges of the screen frame and press it upwards slightly. Work your way around all the edges of the screen frame, lifting it up gently to release pressure.
3. Not only can a lot of dust build up under the frame, it can also sometimes bend down so that it actually makes contact with the screen when you press an area elsewhere on the screen.
After 10 minutes or so of bending, the screen suddenly started working again, but it was all out of sync. So, I reset the screen configuration with taps (like you do after a flash). Once I did that it was perfect again and has never troubled me since.
This may not be the problem in your case, but may be worth a try.

Silence....
I'm wondering if you sorted it, in case anyone else has the same issue...?
Mattster.
It seems that the Topbar made it's work for me...We'll see....!
Great. Very pleased for you!
Matstter
topbar works for me
All,
topbar did not work for me, and I ended up buying a new screen on ebay;
installed new screen, and, problem gone!
Not all screens on ebay are good quality, careful!
the one I found has good very screens is joeweiderx
Hello.
As of last night, when i turned on my Excalibur, it has had a strange display issue. it looks as if the upper 4/5ths of the screen is displaying only half of an interlace, and the rest is white. the bottom 1/5th is perfectly normal. All phone functions appear to be perfectly normal. I am running 3VO.2.50.080809 ROM.
Can anybody give me an idea of what may be wrong with it, and how i might go about fixing it. In one week i will also have access to a broken Excalibur with a working screen, so if it does turn out that the screen needs to be replaced, that is an option. I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the support in advance

Have you tried the link in my post?
sorry for the delayed response. yes i did, but there are no programs running at all in celeTask. also. it is not the whole screen that is white. there are interlaced bands of white for the upper 4/5ths of the screen, and the bottom 1/5th is displaying normally. any other ideas? im wondering if reflashing might help.
This happens to my phone.. is it the same that happens to you?

Hey guys,
I know that the screens on these phones are turning out to be junk, but I'm looking for some opinions on whether my particular issue (which I don't think has been brought up here before) is a hardware problem, or if it just looks like a software bug.
I've attached a picture of the glitch, which appears as two lines of random pixels that flicker between pink and green. I've circled in red the pixels that were doing it at the time (it only seems to happen with darker colours). The picture is GTA3, but I know that it also happens in the music app and when flicking between sense themes (although it's harder to reproduce in those apps). Oddly I've played Spirit HD too, but that doesn't cause it.
So what do you guys reckon, is it more likely a hardware issue or is this something that a driver update could fix, and is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks
Apparently the attachment didn't work, so here's a link: img713. imageshack.us/img713/7762/phonebug.jpg (remove space after the first dot)
enough with this FUD the screens are not junk, in fact they are amazing and made iphone owners shivers
the software has a glitch causing all sort of graphical corruption ie not the screen, glitches that goes away are software, glitches appearing in the same place in all phones are software, glitches that never manifest in certain apps are also a sign of software issue
software is no problem, no one updates their phones faster than HTC

OK fair enough, but given the amount of people complaining about screen flex issues and the like, surely I can be forgiven for thinking otherwise?
I raised the topic because this doesn't seem like the "software issues" that everyone is talking about though (the ones with flickering status bar etc).
Thanks for your input
I have had no issue for 4 days and noe all of a sudden I'm getting a red box outline all the way around the screen when selecting options in some menus very random

A red box around the whole screen? I think that's caused by the keyboard. I never experienced this on my phone because i use swype but i see it very often if i use the emulator. try a different keyboard. perhaps this fixes your issue.

i think that's a debug option in developer settings...indicates whenever menu speed is above a certain threshold afaik...i might be wrong though.
disable "Strict mode", reboot, wipe cache & dalvik for the hell of it...
Hi,
I've noticed an issue recently with my SGS3 (I747M). The flicker that I am referring to is not the more common hardware overlays issue, but rather only occurs, or is noticeable, on a white background. What happens is the screen will flicker colors; it's not that the entire screen will display one color and change to another and another rapidly, but rather it seems random pixels on the screen will flicker in waves...almost a 'shimmering' effect. So far, it seems to happen not immediately after reboot, but later on as I use my device. I was hoping this was a software issue, but so far it seems to be more likely a hardware issue.
From googling, I have found that this issue is not limited to myself (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1772504-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Praise-and-Problems), that being said, I couldn't find anyone else here on XDA that has this issue. Have any of you experienced it? and if so, what did you do? return under warranty perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

It might be a digitizer problem, digitizers are hard to replace but, I think zedomax has a way to change it.
Just go on galaxys3root.com-- this might help http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-replace-broken-lcd-screen-on-galaxy-s3/
thanks for the reply, but would a malfunctioning digitizer actually cause the screen to shimmer as it does? I would think it might be a digitizer problem if the screen wasn't recognizing my inputs properly, but I think this is a different issue which, to me, seems to be not related to the digitizer.
thanks though!
any other possible ideas/solutions?
I have had that issue. It would do the same thing and then lock up because I would try and hit the home button. The. It would do a full reboot. Weirdest thing I have ever had happen to a phone. I tried different than roms and stock and didn't do a dang thing. Returned it to att.

I suppose if it actually does get to that point where it renders the phone as unusable as in your case, I'll probably do the same...though since it's outside the 14 days I have with my provider (Rogers), I think I might have to go through with a warranty replacement through Samsung.
Thanks for the reply
update:
It seems it was either the ROM or Kernel that caused the issue (last few versions of task's AOKP). After flashing a different ROM (bacon version of Roger's JB), the issue seems to be resolved *knock on wood*.
Hi,
Factory reset - done!
Flash Android 2.3 - done!
I had the original Android 2.2 before, so the software is not the reason for my HTC Wildfire display problem.
Display image is moving up/down, the line of notification with signal, battery level..., is going in the middle, bottom of display and so on.... I have a screenshoot and a picture made with a very bad mobile camera, but hope to be enough!
I think few water drops inside 3.5 mm audio jack could be the reason, the warning LED(red one) is not working too.
Had someone the same issue? A way to fix this?

...menu bar is floating from bottom to top, pushing all icons/options and it is nearly impossible to hit the right icon/option. Also when there is a keyboard, it moves up and down but it always reacts when pressed on position where it should normaly stand.
Thanks! So... I'm not the only one with this issue.
I think the reason for this screen it's because i dropped the phone before (3-4 days), but not noticed this right in that moment...
Anyway, I easy dropped the phone with intention several times recetly and the screen was OK for a day... don't know what can it be...
I'll try to find out how can be this problem fixed in a service and how much have to pay for all this...
After all, it seems my display don't want to turn on anymore.
I turned on my phone and it's working, it's able to receive calls with no problem, digitizer is working too because I can answer by tapping the known part of display where is that button!
I want to buy a new display and replace it. Could be anything else that make my display not turning on?
