Today my hd2 has shown some strange color issues: Grey / Transparent black causes a grin/yellow tint. I did the usual troubleshooting (soft and hard reset) but it did not help. I also read some old threads about it saying that I should flex the screen to make it go away (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003265). I tried that without luck though I'm not sure if I "flexed" the screen enough but I'm afraid of breaking it.
Anyone an idea what caused this problem? I did drop the phone a few times over the years, however, today, when it all started, not. Secondly, I can't really think of a broken screen as it seems that only a specific grey is tinted yellow/green (the grey whatsapp uses for their contact without photos and the grey used for the keyboard when you eneter your pin.
Any help is really appriciated... Don't want to loose the king :crying: as this color issue makes really unconfortable.

I recently bought a cingular 8525 on ebay. The seller said it was stuck on a 3 color screen, blah blah. I knew I can fix it if it was stuck on the 3 color screen, but I turn the phone on and the screen is just white. I was wondering if this means the device is bricked, and if there is any way I can fix this. I've tried a hard reset.
It's called the "White Screen of Death." You can read more about it in the wiki or here.
I'm not positive if it's that or not. I don't see a complete white screen, I see streaks of gray on the left side of my phone. I have a picture, hope this helps. Is this the white screen of death, or do I just have to replace the lcd screen?
If you see the booloader screen at times, then the lcd should be fine. If not, then it is in fact the WSOD.
Nope, I don't see the bootloader screen at all. I just received the package today, put in the battery, turned on the phone, and just a white screen. Nothing else. Doesn't do anything but sit in a white screen with some gray streaks.
I fixed up one White Screen yesterday , that is , white screen before,and display normally after.
I just flash the phone with the origional rom, and after a bootloader reset( OK+power+reset), the white screen magicly start to display stuff!
So give it a try!
^^ Thanks for the help, but I already tried updating it to the official WM6 rom and it failed.
Ther are about 1001 things that can cause the WSOD - somtimes software, sometimes hardware and sometimes multiple things. To track down the cause can be a major headache and even if you do fix one thing you may have something else causing another problem resulting in WSOD... Most people advise NOT to buy a 2nd hand hermes with this as it is too much of a pain to fix. If you want to try however, you can purchase new LCD's off ebay for about $100AUD and you'll need the HTC service manual to take it apart..

Make sure you have a number 6 torque key, a small flat blade and phillips head screwdriver.
All the best...

EDIT: I'm on a european hd2 with the latest Pdaimatejam WP7 rom (v8.2) and I even tried to reflash the rom... Seems a hardware fault:crying:
Today morning the issue faded away without doing anything at all . Might be that the screen got somehow pressure causing some disorder of the fluid crystals and with time, they reordered themselves...
So i've had my Nexus 4 for just over 2 years now. It's stuck by me through thick and thin, i think this might be the end though.
Anyway, so i picked the phone up at around 2 am this morning, it had been working perfectly all day up to this point. So i picked it up, the colours on the screen are a bit weird. I change what's on the screen and the colours remain weird, so i do the standard thing of a reboot to see if that clears it up. This is where the big issue comes in, when the phone turns on again, there's a 1 cm wide black bar on the left side of the screen. Nothing appears to affect it, but sometimes it randomly appears greyer than others.
The rest of the screen has the same weird colours as it did before i restarted, kind of muted, and moving light areas on the screen (like app icons) makes bars of lighter colour move across the screen with them.
If i didn't know that the phone hadn't been dropped i'd be saying that the screen was just broken right now. But i flashed CM12 (was on the latest PA beta) and when the phone was restarting the whole screen flashed working for a split second before going to its broken state again. This hints at the issue being software related, especially given that it initially happened with no physical damage occurring to the phone? When thinking about this, the colour issue reminds me of what happens when you installed CM11 with the wrong kernel and it looks messed up...
Anyway, I think my phone is dead, and i'm posting here in case someone has some genius idea as to what on earth killed my phone.
I'm pretty good at doing stuff with the phone, so can flash and install whatever, hindered only slightly by missing 1 cm of the recovery menu. I would take pictures, but normally i use my phone as a camera and...... If any more info would be useful then please ask!
Thanks for any help, ideas or input in advance!

Hello everyone,
Got a problem with my Galaxy note 3 amoled screen. Couple months ago some lines appeared on that, look like artefacts or dead pixels or something, not really sure. Didn't drop/drop in water the device before that. No idea why that happen. But, they don't go.
Tried some dead pixels apps from market with no success.
Due to certain reasons cannot give the device to repair service, so, need to try to fix that by myself.
OS version is 4.3, if that matters.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Looks more like heat damage to the screen adhesive than a software/electronic defect, to me. I'm just guessing here, but could it have been left in a spot where a beam of focused light could burn the screen? Mine has a few little defects on the screen from where a water bottle on a window ledge focused the sunlight onto a point on the screen.
factory reset.
Flash stock rom and see .
Thanks for replies guys,
One more thing I probably should mention,
The line on the attached pic is maximized, the real lines are quite small, like 3-5mm length. Really small. But anyway visible...
Jaitsu,
Hmm tried to recall but don't think something like that happened. Sometimes I use my phone as GPS when riding bike, means it's outside under the sun (but not a focused light or something), max. 1 hour per time. Could that be reason?
Also, did you find any way to fix that, by yourself?
I read about several ways to fix screen issues, including leaving phone without battery for some time, or even placing it into the freezer. Tried battery method yesterday with no result, but kind of worry about the freezer...

Yes factory reset is a common advice but you really think it might help? Looks like a hardware issue to me. Can a software glitch damage the display? Also, lines are everywhere on the screen, not like one certain place.
Will give it a try if nothing else found, just, sounds uncommon...
Agree probably hardware but a factory reset rules out firmware .
Thats the first step for a service tech sheet .
