Help! - Washed Colours - Galaxy S II General

Hi,
Today, I have no idea what happened but my display has gone funny. All the colours have faded and look washed, I tried tinkering with Automatic brightness but that hasn't helped.
The blacks have gone grey. Here are some screenshots to show what I am talking about.

The contrast ratio seems to have messed up. Please if someone could be kind and help me fix it, I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you!

This happened to me too when I applied a screen protector. Some of the liquids probably got into the phone. My screen even disappeared for a day. After the water evaporated it went back to normal.

I see nothing on those screenshots. It could be your hardware in that case.

It happened to me for a couple of days before while i was trying some custom roms, not sure why but it just went back to normal after all.

Black spots on camera

So i just updated to KF3 since it just released and rooted afterwards. Then I noticed this in the camera.

I'm sure its not hardware problem because before the update it was not looking like this. And yes,the lens is clean. Tried cleaning it a lot of times but looks like its with the camera software.
Have you taken several shots to see if it's in the same place each time?
Sadly they're always on the same spot. I'm downloading my old firmware now (KE7) and hopefully it goes back to normal.
duuuude u have takin a picture to a ghost kiddin. try to chance the resolution of ur camera.
oh, btw, one question: they appear in the picture 2? or u can see it just on u`r sgs2 screen?
They appear on the picture too as you can see it in the picture i posted.
indeed, sorry, i`m a little bit tired. How is with the downgrade? something changed?
Just checked mine on kf3 and no spots, look at the glass protecting your camera and look for small scratches or marks? It could be that sadly?

Weird lines on screen

Well, it started yesterday and it keeps driving me nuts. It's present both in the system as well as 4ext or even the splash screen so it is definitely a hardware issue. Is there any way to get rid of them because my contract ends in november but I was going to stay with my DHD and get myself a PS3 (very nice offer from my carrier)
It looks like that, it's not a screenshot but it looks exactly like that:

what seems to be an officer problem?
the faint horizontal lines on the screen. That is only a picture but live they also flicker.
You could try replacing the screen yourself, but it could happen that the gpu is the problem, in which case you can't do anything on your own...

I remember having the same issue right after I bought my DHD and I remember rooting and reflashing it helped I recently changed my Radio software, you think it might have anything to do?
It's not hardware. I get it on the current versions of the 3 kernel. Synergy said it was to do with fb (not sure what it is) and he's working on it.

FB....hmmm....frame buffer (only thing that comes to mind except FaceBook) Anyway you're a life saviour man! I was worried that I will have to get a new phone.

Screen "banding" and 'burn-in"

So I'm currently talking with Google and waiting on an email back to see their response...On any grey or dark surface, I have a white banding on either side of the screen that runs the height of it. I also experience some burn in with my calendar widget (due to the white boxes on it). You can see them in the one photo. It almost looks as they've burned in through the settings menu.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I thought it might be normal at first but I compared it to my wife's N4 and her display is flawless!

Not normal. It is defective. Google should take care of it no problem and send a replacement.

I get it with the tapatalk app avatar boxes and the keyboard if I leave the screen on for a while. But it always clears its self up before I notice it to much more.
I've had my Nexus since February and its done it since day 1.

Yellow orange screen haze in sunlight

Anyone else have this issue? When in bright sunlight it looks as if the screen has a cloudy yellow/orange tint to it kind of like a botched polarization application, it is really hard to see in sunlight.
I do have a glass protector on it but i removed it and after a vigorous cleaning the orange was still there, is this a glue issue like the OPO had?

Well I guess i'm alone with this issue. Right, sending it back then.
I checked yesterday and don't have this issue. I forgot to report back for you.
before I send it back i wanted to take one last good picture in case anyone else has this issue, I just got my replacement and it is not like this so if yours is, send it BACK!
This has been cleaned very well with a alcohol pad and its smooth so it is under the glass.
I do not have this not even a little bit, your unit is messed up
Edit: didn't realize you have the replacement, tbats good!
Yeah that's really bad and nasty looking. You got your replacement quick as hell.
Major defect.

Looks like a faded picture of a volcanic eruption. That's purty Maw. :silly:

Screen softness?

I've had the phone for 24 hours now, and I've already noticed a lot of tiny scratches at the top of the display (by the camera/2nd screen). Several of these scratches go right across the camera, and they all seem to be going vertically up and down the glass right at the curve point. I truly haven't set this phone down screen side down, and the only thing I can think of is it getting scratched going in and out of my jeans. I keep it in my right front pocket all by itself. I'm super disappointed in the glass so far. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Photo's.

Mine did as well, I removed it first thing because it had 4 small bubbles in the middle of the display. I just figured it was for transport like every other phone comes with. I'll post photos in my original post.
