I had something strange happen on my retail vzw note 3 a few days ago. I opened the camera app and started to snap a picture and the bottom half of my screen turned green "from the middle of my phone down even the hard keys", this lasted for about 5 mins it was a light green i could still see what was in the background. It has only happened once.
HyperDrive RLS6.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Hi!
I dropped my defy in 2 cm of water,everything was fine for 20 min, suddently my screen stop responding, i removed the battery, place it back turn on the sceen got quite dark. Yet I was still able to see things on screen. Then it slowly got darker and darker until it was completely black. After that I tried to push the power button but the screen didn't light up, only the 4 buttons were lit.
I noticed I was still able to unlock the screen or answer phonecalls sliding my finger from left to right on the correct area of the screen, although it remainded black all the time.
What can i do? do i have to replace the lcd?
Thanks
Search did not reveal any post with this particular screen defect.
The phone is a collegue's of mine so I can't troubleshoot it directly or tell you baseband etc. It's brand new, 4.2.2, and a 4G so probably i9505 (bought in europe, sweden). It has not been droppped, collegue would have said if this was the case . What collegue told me was it was like this when collegue got it.
Sometimes screen becomes blue, but only parts of it. You can see this clearly on the attached photos. It's most promient on white areas, which are not white at all, but, well, blue!
Especially note the partial blueness of Whatsapp icon borders.
Screen lock is being used, blue tint appears on lockscreen as well.
Could not isolate when this occurs. I did not experiment much with the giroscope, don't think that's it. I also seem to recall viewing angle not making a difference. I did have it in my possesion for 30 min, during which the blue tint did not occur. Auto brightess was already off, took brightness down 2 or 3 notches. This is what I changed in settings -> display:
Screen mode: standard
Auto adjust screen tone: off
options that should not be relevant
Screen timeout -> 5 min
Wifi -> off
After this I gave it back to collegue, about 10 minutes went by, collegue took phone out of pocket and activated screen. Now the blue tint was back. At this time I took the attached photos a well as did as screenshot capture, which is not attached, but the blue tint was present there as well. It looked exactly the same as the actual OS/what I had seen with my eyes.
Device was a this time lieing on a flat surface.
I told my collegue to turn in the device for another one, but collegue would rather try/hear about/research a DIY- solution first.
Is this a common defect? Is it sw or hw? Can it be fixed? Etc...

edit: it seems to occur when the phone's screen has been turned off for a couple of minutes. Yesterday I unlocked device after being dormant for some hours, blue tint was there. Screen timed out by itself and when I unlocked blue tint was not present. Waited 4 min then unlocked, and sure enough blue was back. Turning on-off screen solved it once again. Also tried repeatedly locking-unlocking without blue tint reappaering.
So yeah I dropped my phone on its side, while the screen didn't crack at all and nothing happened at the time of the drop, after I woke up the next day my phone had this yellowish small circle on the left then this circle started growing to cover most of the screen and then it started to go brown then black and now the whole screen is black, the touch and the led lights are working, I know I should take it to a specialist or something but for the time being is there anything I can do or check to make it work again by myself ? thanks.
Nothing you can do .
Hi
The last Samsung phone I had was a note 3,after a couple of months very light use it inexplicably developed a black screen,it still had full sound,hardware button lights still worked,it still vibrated and the blue notification light was still present,the screen was just black though.
I wouldn't mind if I'd dropped it or something,but I'm ocd with my tech,and the phone had hardly been used...yet the screen problem happened,I swore I'd never get another Samsung.
But....I do like the look of the s7 edge lol,so I'm wondering if there are any reported problems like black screen?
Thanks for any advice given.
I have an N9005 that I bought second hand just under a year ago. It's running the Phronesis 4 ROM. About a week ago a one pixel wide bright pink line appeared intermittently down the right-hand side. It looks like this (only bright freaking pink): http://forums.androidcentral.com/at...-bright-line-being-shown-display-p1070045.jpg
Today I was playing Fallout Shelter (always makes my phone pretty warm and eats battery). 15% battery warning comes up so I take it to charge. I notice the screen doesn't turn on. There is a momentary flash of dim colour at the top, but otherwise the screen is completely black. I tried pushing the power button several times, but all it did was a momentary flash of dim colour at the top but still black each time.
I took the battery out for a bit, then put it on to charge. The on screen charging display did not appear (stayed black) but after a bit the LED lit up to indicate charging as it would after the screen display turns off. I left it for a while and eventually the screen started working again (99% charge when I checked). I was then able to boot like normal.
However a while later the screen would not turn on again (just the momentary dim flash of colour at the top before black). I didn't do anything with it in this time. It just sat in standby before I tried using it again. The back button and hamburger menu buttons are not seemingly lighting up either. But the led works fine with notifications. I tested calling my phone and it rings fine - if I slide accept the call where it is normally on the screen, I can accept calls and talk like normal. But the screen remains black. So clearly the digitizer works fine.
I have tried taking out the battery for a long period of time, taking the battery out and discharging the remaining power by holding the power button (5 minutes), I have tried taking the phone apart and cleaning the display connector with some isopropyl alcohol and firmly reattaching. Screen is still black.
Is this a problem with a malfunctioning LCD or could it be something like the GPU? I don't want to pay $150-$250 for a replacement screen assembly only to find that it's some other problem
Thanks in advance!
I would suggest to get a new device.

I prefer to repair rather than replace unless I have absolutely no other choice, thanks.
