Hi guys! I really wish that I captured my screen picture to show you guys what I meant. Well anyway... here is what happened earlier today.
I was thinking "hey, I downloaded this netflix app but never used it even once, let me try it."
So i opened the app, but i guess because I was on cell phone network, it took kinda longer to show all the pictures of the movie list (but i still could click the box, if you know what im saying) so I click on one of the frame (still without the movie thumbnail picture) and it showed some error message. so I was like "okay, let me try another movie then." so I clicked on another movie and the Netflix loading screen came on the screen (netflix logo with red background), and out of the sudden, the red background turned into green background, then the movie started but the picture was wierd (only gray and green color if i remember correctly), so i thought "okay, maybe it is just visual effect." after a minute or two i exited the app, and found out that my phone's background picture color was also turned into green and gray.
has this ever happened to you guys? if it ever happened to you guys, what was that all about? was it software or hardware glitch?
thanks
Yes this happened to me this morning!
My reds turned green and the greens turned blue. (The green battery indicator in the status bar looked ICS blue)
Also some other colours looked pink.
It kind of looked like it was in 256 colour mode.
It scared the sh!t out of me. I thought my screen had busted.
I rebooted and everything was OK.
I don't know what caused it. I just looked at the screen and noticed it.
I know, same here. I was so freaked out yesterday. I hope someone that knows some information willing to share here. I just hope it wasnt a hardware thing.
happened with me once .. after a reboot it's gone
Just happened to me abour 10mins ago...
sorta weird. . . I have a large number of cyan/green colors on my homescreen/widgets and they all turned blue. The live animated wallpaper turned purple...
rebooted and now it's back to normal....
yeap, so far hasnt come back yet (knock knock knock). hopefully it will never come back anymore.

hmm just had a really wierd problem with my telstra branded 4G LTE I9505
i was playing a game and it seemed to freeze and the graphics started getting really bright and pixelated almost yellowish. almost like artifacting like with a modern PC game when graphics card overheats.
it let me open task manager but froze and started doing the bright thing again and was almost going white and pixelated. i took out the battery to reset as it was frozen.
now i boot it up and have a black screen but the phone seems to be functioning 100%. I still get the S4 logo come up etc, it gets to the menu because i can hear the sounds for notifications etc still. connecting to PC it still comes up fine, all buttons seem to work as i can hear them doing things.
very odd, is my screen dead? it would seem its not if the logo shows up still? it just gives the S4 logo but not the telstra logo after it that normally comes up.
any suggestions?
i've tried removing battery, sim, sd card and leaving out for a while.
just worried as i have it insured but i only rooted it about a week ago with easy root. It still has stock rom i just dont want it to affect my chance of claiming it on warranty/insurance. and since i can't see the screen i can't unroot it. grr.
any help would be appreciated.
forgot to add, 2 days ago i installed xposed framework and Xprivacy could these have somehow caused it?
hi. i got my Note about weeks ago. i got it imported so cant get any warranty claim what so ever.
last night i was on tomshardware website and looked at exactly this page of gaming monitors. i tried to load the desktop site but it didnt.
i scrolled down to the bottom as everyone does. and i saw this issue for like 2 seconds, and then it said that browser has stopped. then it was ok.
now, today i woke up in morning , and out of no where, after like stopping my alarm, my Note 4's half screen started flickering and the image got stuck there.
then it stopped on its own.
now i went to Samsung test menu with *#0*# and checked that the screen test is ok, spen test is ok and everything is ok.
i started a game, and it game me that flickering again. what happens is like this . i dont have a camera to capture it, so thats why adding these images.
IT HAPPENS JUST LIKE THIS BUT ON MY DEVICE ITS THE LEFT SIDE, EXACTLY HALF OF LEFT SIDE OF DEVICE
i took the screen shot and its not the software. it shows all fine.
it stops when i rotate the screen and then happens again on its own, especially in games.
i know its ****ed already, but its sunday and markets here are closed, so as a last option im asking you guys is there any solution?
i have stock, unrooted lollipop.
Hi guys,
Ever since i upgraded my note 4 to 5.1.1, I noticed that the GPS/location icon isn't working the same way. I'm not sure if it is broken, or if this is visual design change.
Before, It used to be an upside-down teardrop with a blinking dot in the middle. When "lock" was achieved, it would stop blinking and go solid.
Now, All I get is an upside down teardrop with an empty hole in it. The blinking dot, never shows up. I'm wondering if I received a bad flash from verizon...
Is this something that is now normal with note 4 and touchwiz on 5.1.1?
Thanks
Yes, the icon has changed, now for me it doesn't blink any more while a sat lock is being done, its like that static/fixed icon always, like you have a forever lock, stupid really.
Wow that's really dissapointing. I spent too much time trying to fix it.. Thinking I had a bad firmware flash. I finally came on xda to ask as a last resort. I'm surprised more people didn't think their gps/location was suddenly broken.

I have similar problem, screen retention is sometimes visible, sometimes not. I've already tried using an app which simply displays a set of colors for 15 minutes and I've tried not using my phone for a few days, but it didn't went away, unfortunetaly, the problem is still here.

My Note 4 (SM-N910V) fell out of my backpack and onto some leaves padding a rock, about 3 feet up. The phone went black. I tried to turn it on and it vibrated but stayed black and had that light blue led going. I saw that before when changing the screen out once but didn't get both connectors connected, so I thought it was the screen. When I got home, I slowly removed the old screen and found one of the connectors was knocked off somehow (I guess I didn't push it on all the way?). So I pushed it back in and pressed the power button and viola! I have my screen back. All good, right?
So I sent a text and thought nothing of it until I went to send another one and then I noticed the text I sent wasn't showing up on the screen. It only showed a text from much earlier. So I resent the same text and the little chat bubble appears for literally a fraction of a second and then is whisped away like it never existed. I sent a "test" text to myself and saw the same thing happen. Then a minute or so later, my test text arrives. When I press on the notification for it, the text messaging window opens up like it's supposed to but there's no text!
To make the situation even more weirder, when I try to go online using either data or wifi, I get a "server not found" error. This happened on Firefox and Chrome.
I tested the phone with a different screen and the issues were still there.
I changed text messaging apps from the stock app to Textra and the same thing happened with the texts. And like before, they came through. When it did, I shut off the phone and restarted it to see if the network would still see the text as being unread, etc. and right after bootup, I get the notification of my test text. When I open the stock text app to see it, I see nothing but the same texts described earlier.
This is weird. Any suggestions?
Is the sim card good? Is it seated properly?
Examine closely for more damage especially the mobo.
Clear system cache if that fails, try a factory reset.
No joy? Try reflashing the firmware.
You may have damaged the mobo...
I appreciate the suggestions and was just about to start what you recommended this morning blackhawk when I noticed the date and time were way off. It was reading 8:04pm, June 7, 2021. I turned on the automatic date/time setting and everything went back to normal. I was able to access the internet, got gmail notifications, and was able to send texts. Somehow, the drop knocked the date and time off. I'll play around with it today and make sure everything works as it should.
