Any body ever get the Yellow screen of doooooooom!!!!???

I experienced it today for about a minute and, it was just a yellow tint over the screen. My screen went back to normal after a minute or so. So the question is has this ever happened to any of you guys???

No. Your phone is probably going to explode soon.

This. I used to have an E4GT and then I got the YSOD and 5 minutes later my phone exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere. Still have a piece of the screen lodged in my groin, doctors said they can't take it out because the risk of losing my junk was too high. Was going to replace it but honestly, it's not worth the risk. Decided to play it safe and got an iPhone 4S instead.
Be careful OP, the YSOD is serious sh*t.

A yellow tint over the screen can be two things. Either your ribbon cable connecting your screen to the board is loose or damaged (new screen will fix the problem) or the GPU on your board was overheating (whole new phone if it burns up). Are you running any custom ROMs? What were you doing when it happened? Have you dropped your phone?

It happened about 20 mins. after using odin to go to stock ek02 I was reading an article in wikipedia and all of a sudden everything had a yellow tint I thought it might just be the site but, then I found it was the entire phone screen. I wasn't doing anything that could have overloaded the gpu and, I haven't dropped my phone at all. After a quick google search I found that it could be a software problem since some other people have also had this problem but, it could also be a defect with the screen.... If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also it went away after a minute or so and, has not come back. I have had no problems with anything rendering from the gpu other then this quick glitch.

No. I took a grenade to the head back in 'Nam. At the time they didn't have all these fancy surgical reconstruction techniques that they have now.

Build quality - Impressions? Issues?

Interested in hearing impressions of the device as a physical object. Any obvious manufacturing issues so far? In particular, is anyone seeing evidence of the screen-related problems that plagued the previous model -- screen lift, spongy screen, creaky screen?

i exchanged my first one today after i noticed specks of particles under the screen that was very visible. 2nd one is fine though

It is really snappy, feels better in the hands than the last gen. Feels a lot more solid and there are no weird creaks or jiggling parts.. The screen is fantastic looking no issues at all there and the processor is more than fast enough for anything I have thrown at it so far, mostly just games so far.. I can answer questions if you have them, actually have two of the 32gbs and 1 16gb in the house now and none of them have any issues.

Picked mine up yesterday. Very smooth and snappy and fits nicely in my hands. Feels much high quality to me than previous version. No issues what so ever and not seeing any dust under screen. 4.3 doesn't seem much different from 4.2.2. Liking it very much!

Issues thus far after first automatic update during initial boot, didnt update yet the second time after initial boot...
GPS was not working at all no searching icon at top left corner of screen. No gps apps would detect gps... had to follow set of instructions on the web for the same problem with galaxy s3 phones after jellybean update. finally after the tablet decided to make the gps work and download agps data and satellite info, it works every time now and finds the sats..
When using rear camera outside in direct sunlight, pictures/video and the screen in the camera app flickers, even during taking a picture or recording video, only happens when facing the direction of the sun and its the brightest it can be outside, seems like a digital aperture issue with the lens (hardware) or software issue with android 4.3(stock camera app) or a problem with F-stop. Also after awhile of this happening the screen turned green in the camera app and pictures did not come out. had to reload camera app and fix that issue.
So far on my Nexus 7 2013 with the first update but not the second I am having these issues. Fixed the GPS(crossing fingers) do not know whats up with the camera and software but will do a system update to the second update and see if I have the same camera issues... Also will try 3rd party camera software! The 5MP shooter on back does record 1080p video!

Occasionally any kind of audio event will fail to play - I've noticed it on most events such as lock screen locking, and touch sounds. It doesn't seem to affect regular audio playback that I've noticed. I can't reproduce it any specific way but it does happen. I don't know if it's an issue with the sound drivers or OS itself or the device. As I had to exchange my original N7 once for a speaker that started popping within the first few months of ownership, I hope it's not hardware again. I think I'll just unlock it for now before I load too much on it and see how it goes with stock.

+1 for the audio issue I think your talking about! Audio has been fine in everything on my nexus 7 2013 except in bike race older version, I was playing and its like the audio samples would play and not repeat instantly so the bike revving for example audio would turn off while the music played, and or vice versa. So far have not noticed that issue in any other games or software or xiia music player!

I'm so damn glad I'm not the only one with crap under the screen. my first had dead pixels.. my second has a piece of something under the screen that makes it look black, so I can't tell if it's dust or dead pixel.

If I recall at this amount of time into the launch of the first nexus 7 there was a lot more complaints. I know I had to go through 3 before o got a good one.
The new 2013 is great for me, I can't find any flaws.

Time to Swap Again?

Dead pixel? Stuck pixel? Something else? Time to return? *sadface* The other stuff are bubbles from my crappy screen protector. Also it doesn't stick one color. Can't see it on black, but on green it's greenish, blue it's bluish red etc.

Did they replace that part or the entire phone? The digitizer has no light producing parts. I think that was a hot spot in your back light to be honest.

Brand new phone at the store. I thought it was a hot spot/pixel but screen was fully black when off. Usually hot pixel still shows. Either way not sure what happened to it exactly.

Hmm guess that article was wrong hah. I've delt with dead/stuck pixels before guess that's the first hot spot. Either way I only had the device for 3-4 days before it happened.

that is what you call burn in i didnt expect that it will appear on quantom ips displays which is on amoled displays like the samsung galay series i experience that from samsung s4 and i sell it after seeing that i dont really like to replace the lcd because it will cost me a lot of money, you can download some apps on playstore to remove that just forget what the apps name

Erica Griffin has done a video about amoled displays burning in, specifically on Nexus 6. Watch it and see if it helps you, but I don't think you'll fix it with an app though, I think you'll have to replace your display which should be free if you're under guarantee.

I will send it in service (warranty)

I got a light one at the sides only. Mine was manufactured 10-2015 smh

This is really strange and is not a typical burn in. A normal burn it can only happen to an amoled display

i would like to send my phone to replace the screen, but i am asking if LG has another version of quantum screens that won't burn in. And..what's the problem with the motherboard?

This is what he told me in service. That he contact lg and they told him to change motherboard (no screen). I was first in that service with G4 and he change my screen because he have lot of them.

I have the same issue with my H815. And bootloader is unlocked so I lost the warranty. One of the best android phone but sh t happens.

This isn't a burn in. This is something else that every other screen has and it's completely normal to have it.
We're running on an LCD display. Any pixel too white for too long will stay a bit whiter than the surrounding pixels for a time until it gets back to normal.
On AMOLED displays it's called a burn-in because the effect is actually permanent. But on LCD displays it fixes itself over time.
Mine too gets these red or pink... "Things"... on the sides of the screen if i was on some white screen for a long time. But give it 5 minutes and it's gone.

i have the same issue guys!i sent it for repair tommorow.so sad..

I have the same problem, although it comes and goes. Only started recently and the phone is about six months old.
Will it get worse with time and is it worth it to replace under warranty if it will just happen again?

I noticed today my LG G4 clock has burned into the screen. This has never happened to me on any Android phone. This phone has become a nuisance.

Anyone else potentially a bad screen? - Note7 just got it

I just got it yesterday and I noticed on a lot of screens it looks like bad rendering follows it around. The most noticeable is under display settings, mid to low brightness. When you change the screen mode it shows it in some modes very clearly. Does anyone else see this? I will try to upload a picture.
I uploaded a video to youtube, you can clearly see the issue on the left side of the screen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5_7yoGxKUs

My phone does not look like this at all. Your screen may be defective, i'd suggest an RMA.

Cool, Thanks Let me contact Tmobile and see about the RMA

Both the violet streak and the lines that come up when you change the brightness points to a faulty display the exact same issue with the S7 and S7E

Can you guys check your tapatalk app in night mode. Mine looks washed out in the left bottom corner. Is that normal on yours too? My note 4 does not look like this.

It wasnt that, it was messed up colors showing up on the screen based on constrasting areas of the screen. THeres a video in the first post and another here where you can see the issue. This doesn't show up in screenshots I send to the computer so I know its a display problem.

My Note 7 had similar purple / pink hue on all around the edges. It's not so pronounced and I had to argue with the service adviser before the accept for warranty claim. Went in for RMA today.
International version. Sorry, didn't capture any video or images of the defect.

Thisis what i see a greenish wahsed out screen with dark gray.
