Today my girlfriend epic 4g's screen inverted all the colors. This is for the entire system, not just a specific app. Is this a setting issue she might have changed while it was in her pocket or something? Or is the screen most likely broken?
Try odining to stock and see what happens

Long story short....Im in love with this phone.
But my first one had vertical lines that ran down the screen and I thought it was just the color scheme but I found out that it is Screen Burn in =(
I returened it and my second has screen burn in too!!
What's with Samsung giving this phone recycled or defected amoled screens
Should I return it and rebuy it in a month or send it into Samsung??
If there are alternatives please share .......

Have any pics, so we have an idea what you're talking about?
Damn it sucks but I don't have a camera buttttt if you pull your notification bar down look at the grey area.....you should see some sort of grid lines that are light
Mine has that but also there are a couple of dark lines that can be seen on everything including pictures.....

Hey guys. I don't know what just happened to my phone, but the screen color just washed out. Everything is in a strange yellow hue and there is a permanent black line on the bottom of the screen above where the launcher sits, even if I'm not on my home screen. Is my epic busted?

most likely you are having a hardware problem. Warranty claim might be in order unless you have TEP.
Yeah bro just take it into sprint. It shouldnt cost u anything as it sounds like a hardware defect. Good luck man.

Have a look at the top of the screenshot of the calculator app, the colour is weird, is this considered normal?
Yeh. This is color banding issue. I got the same thing in the calculator app. Unfortunately currently there's no way to fix this

I had a similar color issue when composing email in Gmail app but it was from lower half of the screen, so it shows when screen is totally white. Was very clear in ICS rather than GB.
Sent it for repairs and after changing the back board, it disappeared in GB and visible in ICS but reduced a lot strangely. Apparently its a common issue in note and sgs2.
So i would say its both hardware and software issue.

Its funny, ok let me explain, some images have this some not, this means its not necessary a screen issue, but more the way the image is displayed. Coulx be driver, dunno.
I like to compare it to tv.
Old tv was lower resolution. Picture looked ok. Watch same picture on full HDTV it looks like crap.
The same counts for movies etc.
Samsungs GB wasnt build for this notes beautiful screen

So yeah does anyone else have this issue? My s4 colors tend to get warmer and like have a green tint when the keyboard is pulled up any keyboard for that matter in any app with adapt display on or off and auto brightness off or on. Like the status bar turns greenish too. It's so strange.

do not understand you well , do you mean the icon of notiffication bar getting green sometimes , and some times they do not?:laugh:
Yes. But only when the keyboard is up. The color of the whole phone gets warmer

Nope. It like changes the
Saturation a little when the keyboard tray is displayed.

interesting.
I want to see if someone else can test this. Open up or even reply and look at the status bar and tell me if the black becomes like a greenish tint as well as the whole screen. Then close the keyboard and watch it change back to normal.

I see it change a slight bit, but my face has to be pressed up against the glass when opening the keyboard to even notice. Is this really an issue?

No but I was just curious as to why it did it

I have exactly the same problem on Verizon S4. It really bothers my eyes as it seems to be changing the white balance / tint simply based on what's on the screen all the time. I have of course turned off all options that have anything to do with automatically adjusting the display.
I have the exact same problem with my GS4 international version. The problem gets even worst when playing a youtube video. The colour of the youtube video and the whole screen changes when the status bar is present and when it is not. The whole screen becomes reddish when the status bar is present and greenish when the status bar is not present. Any help on how to disable or fix this?

No but people seem to not realize it's even there. It's built into touchwiz. Only goes away in like cyanogenmod or something. But I'm sure it can be fixed if a dev wants to help so let's all keep this rolling. Anyone else notice it?

I noticed all the Hues are screwed up, even with out a keyboard being displayed. Internet surfing, playing games, Navigation.
I miss my Galaxy S2 because it didnt have this issue.
Edit:
Compared my s4 with Note2, and note 2 cilors and hues are so much better.
I don't see a change. ..

I have the same issue but mine happens very rarely. It's super annoying. Has anyone tried deleting colorblind.apk?

After I noticed it a few days ago, I think it is ok now, at least not as bad as the first time i saw it. Youtube video seems to be ok now with very very tiny bit of change in colours and contrast compared to yesterday with the same video. I think it might just be some bugs in the software. I did try restarting it many times yesterday and also disabling auto brightness, auto adjust screen tone and adapt display and that didn't help at all but now it's just kind of fixed itself
I just realised that this only happen when the brightness is set at a very low level. The effect is less noticeable when the brightness is high.
Yes so it's throttling the display to save battery and such
Does flashing cm10.1 fix the issue?

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?
Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

Should this happen again, The vertical lines are solved by clearing cache/data in the camera app

The problem can not be seen in a screenshot. And the camera lines disappeared after a hard reset but came back soon after.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

Change from Adapt Display to Dynamic. Best thing to do to resolve the problem.

Dynamic? Hideous more like, my eyes can't stand any of Sammys over saturated pre presets, Movie is closest to normality I can find personally.

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
