After installing carbon Rom by Mr Amid a few days back, I now find my mate displaying part of the graphics too wide and or replaced with green.
For instance:
- The normally orange progress indicator in firefox is now garbled green/grey and much wider
- Some icons on the home screen were much bigger, unreadable and garbled in the same way as progress indicator
- One icon was moved to another home screen, stayed garbled but during moving was normally visible, and then could not be moved back to the fist home screen, though it could still be moved
- safety gesture area on lock screen is full green where it should be black.
Anyone have had some similar experience?
I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874274
but this seems totally different
A reboot fixes it but it seems to come back after a while...
Thats strange, it seems to start with an mp4 video looping as part of a website.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the site.
Can my phone be having trouble with mp4s or the way they are served?
The last time i visited it even froze my phone.

Another White Screener
I to have now joined the white screen brigade! phone was working fine and suddenly started doing it. I have tried several WM6 roms since, and the same problem eventuates. I notice on first booting, that some of the details are at the top of the screen as well as the bottom (M.S.B etc instead of all at the bottom) Even the windows green screen has a thin band of bright green at the top which clearly belongs at the bottom, like some other complainants, I also find some of the fast key buttons (internet and mail) do not work. I took it to the service centre who will not do anything with it while it has WM6 in it (Jasjam have not realease that here). They want to revert it to WM5 (at my cost) and then try and repair, with no guarantee. Some deal huh. Any ideas, surely it cant just be the rom if the problem continues with additional roms, and can it really be just flex if the buttons stop working?
Slow computers!!
Damn...after all that typing I just found Alkizmos reply....thanks...I will go back to the repair shop i think!!
Greetings.
The screen of my Desire Z seems to be acting weird when displaying certain shades of gray and transitions from black to gray. Gray that is near black becomes much lighter than the rest of the image, although the color should stay the same.
I did a test with an LCD test image to see if I could find out what was wrong, and I discovered that displaying the image in vertical position gave quite a lot of flickering in the middle. Could someone download the picture on their phone and see if they get the same result as me? I get flickering when displaying it in vertical mode all zoomed out, but when I turn it horizontaly everything is fine.
Bump. Also, 10 characters.
I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Sebastian
Hello,
I have found similar threads, but nothing seems to fit for my problem. If there is a thread for this topic, I hope the admins can move this to it.
I bought my Tab S 8.4 two days ago and was very happy with it (except the Play Store error DF BPA-30, which disappeared by now). The problem appears when I use the tab in the dark, after the second night I finally found out why: When the brightness goes below ~15 percent (automatically or manually) the display gets a dark-greenish tone. Full black and other strong colours don't seem to be affected.
A good example is a game I am playing: The red/blue/violet "nebula" turns into a dark green mass as well as the row at the top of the left. When I move around, the green mass "wobbles" too.

Is this normal?
Thanks for your advice!

I don't know if it's normal but I got the same thing. Since I keep my brightness low due to my sensitive eyes, I see it all the time. I have a 10.5 btw.
I haven't posted about it because I figure I may be more sensitive than other people.
Try this: if you have an LCD tablet or phone, place it next to the S on a table in a room with light. Turn OFF both screens. Move around so you are looking at them from different angles. With mine , about 45 degrees off axis, the S screen is clearly tinted a deep green (or if you prefer, the light reflected from the screen is green.) The other screen is black.
Same problem here too...

In my Tab S 8.4, the problem starts only when i shut down or restart the tab... On starting, the Samsung logo doesn't appear on welcome screen and then the display shows a homogeneous greenish hue, more identifiable in low brightness and auto brightness activated devices.. After a few restarts or shutting down the device for 5-6hrs, the display becomes normal on restarting... Interestingly, if you take a screenshot of the greenish display, the picture is perfectly normal when viewed in a normal device or laptop, thus making me believe it to be a display problem, most probably a manufacturing problem...
Just got my new Pixel 2 XL and immediately upgraded it to 8.1 out of the box. Overall I am very happy with the screen physically (blue shift, even color, grain, etc) but have noticed some “white artifacts” if you will when using certain apps. It flickers and comes and goes with no apparent pattern. I first noticed when using Google Maps to drive home last night. I didn’t think to screenshot it since I played it off as a one time thing. However I was just watching some youtube videos in full screen mode and saw the same white artifacts again right where the black nav bar and display would meet. I only notice it during full screen and can reproduce it in a screenshot so I don’t think it’s a faulty display.
Anyone else notice this since getting the 8.1 update?
I took a screenshot of the youtube video I was watching, look at the right of the display right above where the nav bar would be.
Heres the link to the rough part of the video if anyone wants to try themselves.

Update: I've confirmed this happens no matter which way I rotate my phone in landscape mode, so Im leaning towards 8.1 software issue.
