[Q] My beloved GNex is getting crazy - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello there fellow XDA members,
Is there anyone to help me determine what is this and why is this thing happening?
Is this phone done for ever or is there still hope for fix?
Thanks in advance.

Kinda looks like it is hardware related. Has this been a gradual problem or did you just notice it when you woke it up? I am no expert but looks like the screen is dying. If you could provide a little more info someone that knows more than I might be able to provide a different answer.

Well sure.
It started happening suddenly. But I feel it have something to do with GPU chip.
It's getting hot on the back of the phone when I do whatever and if I do
multitasking or even start heavy application the chip on the back gets crazy
and my screen just turn into a bright smash of colors. After that phone
is no longer operating and I am forced to take off the battery and boot the phone again.

Camera Problem? (not the pink thing!)

Had a very occasional issue with my camera where, after a couple of seconds, the live-view image starts "rolling", sometimes losing a colour channel. It only seems to have happened in "Layar" app so far but that may be co-incidence (I dont use the camera much).
Anyone else having problems like this? I'll try catch it on vid and upload. Just worried that there may be a hardware prob but, like I say, its only occassional.
Also happens in Goggles and normal camera application. Looks like its broken
Grrr, mobiles.co.uk being real unhelpful so far

Somewhere here someone uploaded a vid from desire that catches crazy colors, most probably it was defected, i will try to find it and post it.
I havent encountered this problem myself, .. but then again, i dont use the camera that much

Do you mean the guy where the images where kinda in negative? I saw that one but this looks completely different. I will try get it on vid but I got to catch it doing it again!
Problem Video
Finally managed to catch the camera problem on Video!
In talks with Mobiles.Co.Uk at the moment about a replacement handset but would be interested to know if anyone else has seen/experienced this?

Video upload fixed!
Hey there,
Just to let you know, I've had exactly the same issue with my Desire. I contacted O2, and they said that I could get a replacement handset. Despite them mucking me around a bit - the phone is out of stock and they didn't bother to tell me this - it basically confirms that it's a manufacturer's fault.
It would explain why not all handsets are getting this. But if even 1% of all Desires are getting this, that's still a hefty amount. Not widespread enough for places like Engadget to post about it, but annoying enough to ruin the experiences of a fair few HTC customers worldwide.
I got the same issue, too.
Seems more like a software issue. Sometimes ot occures when you point the camera to a bright object. It only happens then in 20-50%.
Do you have to get a new replacement Desire with that?
(threade title says "not the pinkt thing" - but as far as I can see - this IS PINK in your video!)
I got the problem too. Not seen it for around a week now though.

Today I experienced the same problem. My screen was divided into half, one half being pink and the other in sepia. I disappeared soon though. Also a friend tells me that my photos taken with Desire are way too blurry. Can anyone confirm that by looking at some of them at http://mariotomic.com/blog?
Thanks.

[Q] Help Freaking Out

Have a major problem with my screen when turning phone on or rebooting the screen looks fine. But when I get to the actual home screen it's looks crazy with vertical lines on it like a white noise effect but when I shut the screen off and then turn it back on it's gone. It's freaking me the hell out what could be causing it? Is there something wrong with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere that's out of whack? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like a hardware issue, which ROM are you using?
Try reflashing.

I had this problem right after I flashed a kernel. Try wiping your dalvik and cache and rebooting, thats what fixxed it for me.
I have this same problem, and it only happens with certain kernels. I think it's an Epson thing. My last phone was a Novatech and had no issues and my current one is an Epson. Sometimes it's that crazy vertical line garbage, others times it's horrible tearing. It only happens after a reboot and ALWAYS goes away after turning the screen off and on. I stopped caring about it a while ago because it always goes away.
Thanks guys I rest easy now I was worried I was going to have to deal with sprint.
_MetalHead_ You the man.

No prob man. With my last phone I was very limited with which ROMs and kernels I could run. It wouldnt run any AOSP ROM and most if not all HAVS kernels were a no-go. My current one will run anything I want it to run, and runs MUCH smoother and snappier than my last phone. So, I deal with the weird screen thing and I get a phone that blows the socks off my last one. It's a fair trade off IMHO.
Ya I got worried as I'm still at noob status with this whole rooting thing and thought I fried my phone. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find the issue anywhere I had talked to sprint and they told me that it was a hardware issue. Glad that its nothing to worry about. I'm loving the boosted speed that I get from my phone.

Are you running a custom ROM/kernel or are you still stock?
Running cm6.1
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, definitely don't worry about it then. If that's the only issue you're having then let it go, it's not a big issue at all
Have you tried MIUI yet?
No not yet.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Well if you are a fan of AOSP then I recommend at least trying it. I thought I was going to hate it but tried it on a whim and have never looked back.
This is a fairly common issue with cm6.1 rc1.
There's a thread in the cm forums where multiple people are getting the same thing. I would post the link, but apparently I'm too new here.

[Q] Artifacts on screen?

Over the last two days I've been getting artifact like effects on my screen. My phone is rooted with gingerbreak on 2.3.2 and I haven't had a problem in the past. The phone doesn't feel hot or anything. And I haven't installed any new or untrusted apps to my phone.
It's almost like the phone is trying to load, but does so very slowly and in random segments all over the screen.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was the solution if any?

Do you mean like ghosting?? I noticed that with the 2.3.4 update too
Uhhh...not quite sure what ghosting is.
Not rooted or unlocked bootloader, on 2.3.3 R800X, also having this issue.
This is what happens when I turn on the screen.

And this is what happens when I try to swipe from screen to screen.

It's almost like the gpu is failing...
Looks ok on my part
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
Looks just like what you get when frying a video card by overclocking too much.

+1 my thoughts precisely
Oh...well I'm fine...I didn't know you could overclock too much....
Exactly what I was thinking. It's been sent to SE to be repaired or replaced.

High Temperature Property OFF

Do any know to access this menu. I'm sick of the screen going dim after 5 minutes because the phone thinks it's overheating. T-Mobile

As of yet, there is no way to access the Thermal Mitigation. The hidden menu does not contain it.
I have a G4 with a bad screen and got it swaped with a new one. The whole time I thought the temperature throttlewas making my sceeen dingy and yellow but it turns out I had yet another defective LG phone..
Meanwhile, until someone figures out how to turn those TWO settings off, try my trusty app called LUX lite in the app store. Take your time to learn the setting amd jack everything up to 100%
Its sort of an override if you will. But it works like a charm. My replacement phone has a nice screen but a phone will never decide for itself what I will see. I own it and it will do as I say.... And I say 100% brightness or hammer...
Give it a try, it will keep your phone at 100% no trouble. Let me know what you think. I've been using it for a long time on my G3.
Hey man thanks for that response. I really appreciate that. I'm going to check it out now. Wish lg wouldn't have went that route.

You are most welcome. Let me know how it works out or if you need any help with the settings.

Nice! The biggest trick us to throw LUX into manual mode and leave it at 100%
Only pronblem here is ure taking care of the dim screen now what about the cpu throttle

Total noob, no idea, stuck big time!

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here can gimme me some help cus i'm soooooo lost as to what to do. I've google my head off for about 2 hours now and found nothing that really seems to help my beloved 10.
It's turning on then going off and just stuck in a circle. Back and forth all the time. I tried this power button thing and got that to work. I did the full reset (is that the right name for it?) and it still goes in a circle, back and forth and on and off.
What's a girl to do?
Any help would be awesome. And please excuse me. I really am a dumb blonde!
Oh... a friend of mine on fb said to come here (which i finally found!) and ask something about a rom? What's that all about? He went to bed without replying, so i haven't a scooby!
Anyway, if someone sees this and can help lil old me, i'd soooooo appreciate it.
Thankoooooo!
