HTC 10 updated to Android 7.0, not rooted
Yesterday my screen suddenly turned greenish/greyish: most red colors had disappeared. I rebooted several times, went into bootloader (where the upper lines were in deep red which means that this was probably not a hardware issue but it was my first time to look at the bootloader screen and I was not sure of the exact colors) before returning to Android but to no effect.
Changing the Color Profile did not help either.
I then began to fiddle with the developer's options: I did not actually change anything but the screen went back to normal. Scary.

first i thought it was launcher pro's fault, but after changing launcher and rom release i'm pretty sure it's something else i haven't tracked down yet.
just after a reboot phone works as usual: screen lock runs after 30 seconds or by clicking the power button
after a while (days or even hours sometimes), the screen lock does not kick-in anymore: the screen just turns off and when you press the power button the phone is already unlocked.
i noticed that when the phone is in this "lock-bug" mode the notification led constantly shows a faint red light (you can barely notice it in the dark because it's really faint).
tested with:
launcher pro
go launcher
factory rom 2.21
blurless 2.34
I used to have the faint red light on after flashing a new rom.
It disapeared after I changed display setting to not automatic brightness.
It seems that the faint red light is the light sensor.
But I know nothing about your screen lock problem.
I have run into the same thing. I have not yet noticed the light, but I've had the screen lock stop working on my phone twice (I bought 3 phones 5 days ago for work). Like you, a simple reboot fixed the problem. I also tried toggling screen lock in the settings, and setting up a lock code, to see if the screen lock would start up. Both of my times, the first I noticed the issue was when I received a phone call and didn't have to swipe to answer, but that could have just been coincidence.
It isn't really a big deal for me or the employees, but it is a nuisance.
Happened to me as well, twice. First time it was just annoying that I had to reboot, second time it drained the s**t out of my battery in three hours.
So it's a bug allright.

same here.. it just stops working.. any fixes yet?
OneX EU Version vertical dark line on the middle of screen.
For me, I think it is related to LCD signal quality, maybe panel problem or screen cable problem. Anyway, it should be a HW problem.
The dark line is about 1 or 2 lines. It is okay with white screen, but has problem with light blue, yellow, green and light red pictures. It is not a constant problem. I can get the line removed by changing color with flashlight app. Sometimes, the dark is disappeared when you change screen colors in the app. Then it will come again at sometime.
Reboot, no help.
Anyone encountered such problem?
does sound like hardware, can you take a picture?
Attached pictures, you can see the line on blue screen and yellow screen. But nothing with white screen.
you could try safe mode (i think you have to hold volume down when restarting the device, until you feel it vibrate a few times), and then a factory reset if safe mode doesn't help, if it still persists, i'd go for replacement/repair
does look like hardware, although strange it doesn't show on white screen, but then again a dead pixel wouldn't show on a black screen, so can't rule out hardware
Many thanks for your advice. Since there is no such issue reported on the net, I just shared findings here. Maybe I will try factory reset later when I get backup ready.

Have tried factory reset, no help.
I also can see this issue even on boot screen. So it is related to HW. But also I can make it fix sometimes with some screen fake out conditions. (by "color flashlight" tool).

It is faulty, simple as that unfortunately.

Hello,
Yesterday when I was done working and got my phone from my locker, I opened an app and immediately
the screen went black and appearantly the phone had switched itself off. I turned it back on wondering why
it did this, but as soon as it had started up and the home screen appeared, it turned itself right back off.
I tried turning it back on about 7 or 8 times until the battery ran out and I could not try anymore.
When I got home I put it on the charger and fortunately the phone stayed on, however the top of the screen
seemed to be 'trembling' a bit and some pixels were changing from light red to dark red to light red etc. (my home screen is red)
I decided to leave it charging overnight and when I woke up, the trembling had disappeared. I took it off the
charger and after scrolling through my Facebook news feed, found that battery percentage was decreasing quite
quickly considering it's on power saver mode. I thought it might be that the screen brightness is too high, so I went
to settings and tried to adjust the screen brightness, however it is not responding? My screen brightness stays
exactly the same no matter whether I increase or decrease it, and when I was doing that the phone switched itself
off again. I put it back on charge now and turned it back on, but I am quite annoyed about this issue because I
do not know what it is and my phone is only 5 months old. I hope any of you can shed some light on the situation.
Summary of the issues:
- Phone switching itself off
- Screen trembled yesterday
- Battery decreasing quickly
- Brightness setting not working
Info about the phone:
- HTC One X 5 months old
- Android 4.2.2
- No adjustments made to the phone with rooting or any of that
Thanks!
Must be a hardware failure if you havent changed anything software-wise
Is it overheating?
Is it under warranty?
And other sensors are working? But like TTG TriCkSh0tZz said , use your warranty if you can.

Ok, this is VERY irritating!!! I set my phone on my wireless charger before going to bed last night, woke up this morning and my phone screen has turned to Greyscale. Battery is at 100%.
1st things 1st - My phone is not in Power Saving Mode, nor is it in Ultra Power Saving Mode. Also...... I have already gone to Settings-->Accessibility-->Direct Access-->Greyscale (off).
I have tried toggling all of the above settings (I also have never ever used any power saving/greyscale mode to begin with). I have even tried switching themes, even reverting back to the default original theme that came with the S6. Nothing seems to work.
If I power off or reboot my phone, the boot screen is in color as well as my phone briefly is in color again while android is initiating the phone. After about 40 seconds, the phone turns to Greyscale again.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any other suggestions for me to try?
I am using a stock T-Mobile unrooted phone.
Ok, fixed! There is another "Greyscale" option under Accessibility for Vision, I turned Greyscale off. puzzled as to how that got switched on by itself but at least I know now.
Yes! The accessibility worked for me as well. I had to go to settings-->vision--> color adjustment. Then I had to drag colors in order from like this blue to brown to pink to purple. Thank you for suggesting vision! I was so irritated of the grayscale screen!!! I am guessing that it probably did that due to me ALWAYS going in and out of ultra battery saving mode (just my hypothesis--I might be wrong).
Like the title says, I've found a stuck pixel (green) on my phone but only when always on display is active.
As soon as I completely unlock my phone it disappears and starts working again. Could it be caused by a software issue?
I tried using several wallpapers for lockscreen and desktop (black, white, red color) and I am 100% that the pixel goes back to working fine after the unlock
I'll specify that the green pixel is visible on always on and on the lock screen (where I see notifications and pin unlock) and disappears right after
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Yeah it sounds like a software issue.

Even though the thread is old. I have the same exact issue with my samsung galaxy a53. A green stuck pixel only shows when fingerprint icon is displayed.(lock screen/AOD). Was it fixed with software update?
