New screen problems

So I just got my phone a few days ago and while browsing the web I noticed my screen sometimes loses color? Like it goes black and while lines like a static from a tv. Not that bad but it is getting worse. Should I return the phone or what? Is this the same problem with lines and blobs everybody else is having?

He's right. Take it back. It will only get worse.

Oh. Great. Right after I get a rom I like. Is this atleast known to happen to some people or am I just that unlucky...?

Your the first person I have heard have this issue. Best thing to due is return it back to stock if you have modded it and get it replaced. Something is wrong with your phone and should definitely be replaced.

are you sure maybe it's not the AutoBrightness acting up?
try with auto brightness disabled

Would that cause it? I usually have my brightness on high though, which it was at the time.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

this is definitely a new and unique, almist certainly, hardware fault. Reset factory settings and return.

Sounds like he's mistakenly referring to the known "checkerboarding" issue in the stock browser as black & whites lines from a TV...
Just my two cents..

No, that would not cause it. The symptom of that issue is fluctuating brightness not color dropping out. The problem could be a bad video connector or cable in the phone, or a bad display panel. Take it back while you can.

I don't use the default web browser.
I have noticed it the most on the game hanging with friends.

Make sure that it is your phone and not the app or game you're playing that is faulty.

Low LED light afte JB update?

In ICS it lit up pretty good and now its kinda dim, what gives? Is this normal ? How can I make it brighter again?

Looks the same to me, try a factory reset.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If not that, try an app called Light Flow Lite - that has some LED settings you can change.
T999/CM10

I'm bone stock and this is my second s3 in two days that the led looked dim after the update already tried a factory reset.

Mine is also dimmer than it was on ICS. After the OTA update I noticed it. Did factory reset with same results. Formatted everything and applied the rooted version through odin and still have them dimmed LED. Updated my brothers S3 and his is the exact same. I got a text message last night and the LED was fully illuminated, but after I opened it and received another message after it was dim again.

This needs to be fixed I'm very ocd about stuff and this is fine of em

Same thing happened to me, my wife and I have the same phone but I didn't update hers yet and I have seen a big difference on the led. Mine is dimmer than hers. I did factory reset and same thing.

Maybe it save battery? Don't quote me on that, it's a wild guess.

Well it probably does, but it can't save much. LEDs barely use any power.

I always thought they needed more power? but they are more efficient as using this power?? I dont remember its been forever since ive studied electronics
Anywasy, on topic, i run CM10 and dont think its all that dim. Maybe they added an option inside the settings for brightness? I wish it had the "breathing" option instead of just flashiing. But check for a setting maybe?

Not really positive about details. I think they are more efficient. Whether they use more power I have no idea. I know our utilities company is offering to take old Christmas lights and they give you LED strands instead for free.

Single color LEDs are quite efficient. These multi-color, variable brightness LEDs are somewhat less so. That doesn't really matter the question at hand though because most of the power drain of LEDs is just having them on. The difference in power drain from a low intensity to a high intensity is marginal.

Lgog getting really hot.

Alright so the back of my phone (near the camera) has been getting really hot recently. Idk if it's the summer heat, my usage or what, but if I even use it for like 5 minutes it starts to warm up. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Yep, it was just heating up pretty bad compared to me OG evo. I flashed over to CM10 to try it, so far it hasnt really heated up. Only when playing the games, i just wish we could get this stupid camera issue fixed. That makes me want to go back to Lifeless.

check out spleefs AOKP rom, my temps have gone down significantly from the stock rom which would get hot AF

Mines cool with stock but with aosp its hot AF

It's a glass phone with a quad core processor i think you can figure the rest out.
Sent from my overclocked OG

True

This issue seems to vary from person to person there seems to be no "fix-all" solution. Personally the only time my phone's ever gotten absurdly hot for no reason was when I ran the first build of Cyanogenmod for this device. On stock it took some nasty 108 °F weather to make my phone boil. By now though my phone always stays reasonably cool AOSP or not. You can try changing governors or whatnot with a non-stock kernel or maybe even try eco mode if it isn't already on. That's all I can think of.

I've definitely experienced some heat on mine. Lol

Dam!! That's hot

Mine's been getting really high temps too, even while just browsing the internet!
At some point while I was flashing a rom, it crashed and gave me a soft brick.
It was hell to remove the back and now I even accidentally detached the connector that hooks up with the battery!
I can still charge it (sorta) but my battery is all glitchy.
I'm gonna try switching to aosp.

Its WiFi I made a post about it ....

yea
My phone reaches 120f when playing game but averages 90-100f, its fine

I've noticed that only Stock ROM's have this problem. When I go from Stock to CM, I notice the change of temp right away and vise versa. I get the worst heat from charging. I have a 2.1A home charger and charges the phone quick on CM but with Stock it heats up to almost 130F and doesn't charge at all. There is something wrong with Stock. (I tried Lifeless, VectuS, & nexOGen).

High pitch rattling during vibration. Normal?

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where when the phone vibrates, there is a high frequency rattle that comes with it. I am wondering if this is just the nature of the phone or theres something wrong with it. Care to share anybody?
Other than that, this phone is amazing!

That's fortunate for you. I plan on keeping mine for awhile though.
I feel it might be on all devices. When I shake the device, I can hear, I think, the auto focus shaking. The rattling might be a product of the auto focus shaking with the phone which is okay with me. I just dont want it to be loose pieces bouncing around in my phone.

Any word on the visit to T-Mobile? My phone vibration has seemed to majorly decrease in strength.

No issues with anything here. Loving this phone! Best phone ever!

Do these cameras develop purple hue over time?

So I've never had low light photo issues at all with this phone. They've always turned out great...until tonight. The photos went from great, to horrible. I've read about the purple hue issue (who hasn't...), but I don't think I've seen anything about it happening over time. Has anyone else had this dramatic change in photo quality after 3.5 months? My battery is really low so I'm hoping that's causing it...extremely wishful thinking :'(

its definitely possible. a lot of people in that behemoth of a thread about the purple hue issue suggested that the sensor gets progressively more messed up over time from the heat of the phone.

Dang...horrible timing to develop the issue between the 4.3 update and vacation next week.

I took some more shots this morning and apparently in my situation, it basically has to be pitch black in HDR to get the artifacting as seen in the first picture...as long as it doesn't get any worse, it's not an issue for me. If I'm taking pictures in places that dark, the blur cause by the alcohol would make the picture impossible to see anyways haha. I'm sure I'll send it in for repair after the new year though since I'm OCD. Here are the shots from this morning that seem fine to me...night and normal mode (pardon the horribly dirty floors...3 huskies...)

HDR and low light don't really go together. use the night mode. And its possible that the purple hue is heat related. As your battery gets lower, it heats up while trying to maintain proper voltage.

you're the first person that I've seen that has that smearing issue in low light like me. It makes me so sad :/
It's Def a hardware issue for the smearing, yet I'm torn if the hue could be fixed. It's reduced in 4.3 for sure it seems tho

Yea, from what I've read, the hue is a lot more common. I had just never heard of anyone having either issue show up after 3.5 months. Sounds like people are having good luck sending it in for repair, though. That's my plan once I get back from vacation. Luckily I have my og Motorola Droid that I can use for the week my One is gone.

I've been noticing it a lot more lately too, I'm not sure if it might be the rom or kernel related because it seems it's better on some roms than others.

You can book a warranty repair through HTC. I did a quick online chat with them and they said whenever I'm ready, just call in and they'll get it set up with instructions on where/how to send the phone in.
