G1 Camera colors gone all weird! *Pics inside*

Okay, so my G1's camera colors are all weird.
I bought this phone and it had older cyanogenmod in it, and camera worked all fine.
Then i updated to newer, still worked and suddenly now the colors are very weird.
Does this seem like a software or physical error?
And, any suggestions?
(also, i dont have any effects on when taking pics, tried to reinstall cyanogen, and do factory data reset. Ive also tried with a expiremental cyanogen and stable one.)

I have the same problem with my G1, also running Cyanogen (currently experimental). Flashing back to original 1.5 didn't fix the problem either.

Yes, ive tried that, and from application info>camera>clear data too.
Not helping..

what happens if you try one of the camera apps in the market??

i have the same f*ing problem. tried replacing the actual physical camera itself with a older spare one i had laying around and it actually would just force close on me before it could bring up an image. (maybe the spare camera i had was just broke)
i also tried flashing back to the old DREAIMG.nbh to get rid of root and everything else and the camera is still showing wierd colors (after i changed back to original camera hardware)

Wow! Interesting, i guess theres not much else to do?

same thing happening to me too... everything was fine and then all of a sudden the camera is taking funky a$$ pictures with funky a$$ colors. lol my phone was perfect until i discovered this.... =[ anyone know how to fix it?
to the people who also have this problem, did any of you take your phone apart and put it back together? i did this once but not sure if it was taking it apart that ruined the camera or if it was flashing my phone that messed it up. cause i did both of these in the same day within an hour of each other so i have no idea whether it was the flash or the taking apart.
any insight would help... thanks!

hmm you may be onto something there...i took my phone apart as well to replace the housing a few days before i noticed the colors.
the little black screw that goes right near the camera got stuck to the camera 2 or 3 times because its magnetic. maybe this had something to do with it?

i bought another g1 today and tried replacing the camera but that wasnt the problem....
what i did was remove the whole lower part of the hardware (the green plate where the camera and keyboard thing connects... i dont know all the names for the parts lol) and switched it with the other phone. this worked for me.... so it was something that happened to that part of the phone i guess
now i have to root my phone again and start all over but at least my camera works! lol

I changed the housing on my iphone and messed up the camera like that

Just bumping this thread, to see if anyone has come up with a solution to this. I really do miss my camera..
I will send it on warranty sometime next week, see if they can/will fix it.

the same thing happened to my G1 camera!
I usually leave my phone in my pocket when I take showers and I think that the moisture inside the room somehow messed up my camera.
When it first happened, I turned off my phone and turned it back on. The camera was back to normal for a few days. After that, it went back to blurrs of blue and orange and its really annoying because the phone is fairly expensive and the camera messed up so easily.
I really don't know what to do about it except to take it to a t mobile store. Most likely I might have to get a new phone if other features mess up aswell.

bumping an old thread. anyone have a solution to this problem same thing happened to me

its a hardware problem It happened to me too. the lens is ****ed up. might need to replace.

just hot my hands on G1. had to take it apart, but i put it back together with the magnetic screw, and have the same weird color issue.. but over time, like a day, the camera wont even open. it says it has unexpectedly closed. i dont have any answers, but im gonna have to take it apart again and see if thats possibly the issue.

i got the same thing! pretty much it points to hardware problems. well, according to what ive been looking at. i tried fix_permission, i pushed a new camera apk & cleared data and im getting convinced its hardware

I9500 randomly flashing Black screen

Hi everyone.
So I've had my GS4 I9500 since 27 April (launch day if I'm not mistaken), so far it has been incredible, with no major issue up until now.
Recently, my GS4 began doing something VERY odd, it began flashing a black screen with time and date, no matter what I'm doing: typing, browsing etc... It even does it while in sleep, I caught it doing it today. This is very annoying as the phone "locks up" for a second then goes back to what I'm doing, it actually is doing this thing as I type this post on it, making it very frustrating, it even stopped my tweet going out as as I pressed send, it flashed, and twitter app crashed.
Its very odd, it will flash in very random intervals, it sometimes does it once then an hour later does it again, other times it does it 4-5times at a time then again a few mins later, it's hurting my eyes a bit to as I'm always browsing, reading and texting on my S4.
This is the screen it takes me to:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: The screensnap above is from someone at GS4 Forums, this thing happens far too quickly in my GS4 so it's impossible for me to take a screenshot.
I've tried turning On/Off S View Cover option in Accessory, as well as the Dock homescreen display yet the issue persists.
I do not have a S View cover, I keep the phone in a Case•Mate cover but whether inside or out the cover the issue persists. I'm not near any magnet, this thing happens everywhere I go randomly and has just happened countless times as I type this. :/
Please help?
Im using a I9500 on Bangladesh BMG5 FW.

Try a different ROM and see if it's software-related. At least you can rule that out.

Tried the MG1 ROM,same issue,it is so unbelievably annoying I am inches away from throwing my phone against the wall, it makes using the phone so irritating and unbearable. :/

Is there really nobody else having this issue??? The phone seems to think I have the S View cover on it when I don't even own one.
The other day it did this crap long enough for me to take a screenshot:
and I found a YouTube vid of someone having the same issue, although his is far worse:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2oMC1LK_SY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
May have to just take my phone in what an irritating issue.

Probably hardware issues, try sending it to Samsung service center.

Do you use your phone with a any type of.covers??

its a wierd issue havent seen this somewhere else try turning on your s4 in SAFEMODE by shutting ur phone completely off and then just press the power button when da samsung galaxy i9500 appears release the button and press the VOLUME DOWN key until the mobile turns on ..

I have same problem too... I trying figure out whats problem that magnetometer have.

affected by same problem.
S-view mode activates itself, dono why... it happened for me in a month old S4, i got my motherboard replaced, but still the issue is persisting. but the frequency became less. thats it. other than that no use.
as mentioned by one of the member, it is annoying as it happens any time u work with your phone. in any screen suddenly

Screen flashing Black
I also have a GT I9500 and have exactly the same problem. Although I have noticed that it only happens when the data connection switches to EDGE. This only started happening about a month ago. It stops when I disable my data connection or when I switch to WIFI or when I have a HSPA or HSPA+ connection. I have also noticed that in the screenshot you also have a EDGE data connection.

Me too!!

Exactly the same here. When it goes from 3G to Edge - it flickers to S View.
I can't see anywhere if somebody has found a solution yet.
I'm with Cell C - I modified my Rom once- but it's stock again.
Don't want to upgrade to 4.3 in case the Knox counter trips.
Don't want to take it in cos they'll just do a software upgrade and send it back - for which they'll take 3 weeks.

I recommend trying to discharge capacitors by taking battery out and at the same time making sure your holding in your power button. While phone is on .
Hopefully will help..

Maybe you will think I am crazy, but it stopped when I would turn off data and it completely stopped when I was not on the Telenor PK network.

[q] nexus 4 acting weird (possessed)

Hey guys
I hope you can help me, after 4.3 update my nexus starts working weird, like it has been possessed, suddenly it start playing by itself the screen starts moving and open some applications by itself....it recovers when i press the powen buttom two times, so it get back to normal. But this problem has started continuesly apprearing, sometimes im texting and then the phone press some buttoms by itself....so weird.
At the beginning i though i had a virus so i downloaded avast but the problem was still there, then i though mm it might by the image.
So i unlocked the bootloader and then, flash image 4.3, seems the problem was resolved but after 30 min it was there again.
I though OK maybe 4.3 its the problem, i flashed 4.2 but it was worst.
I was reading another post and it seems some users that has NEXUS 7 are experience the same issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...g-weird-after-thundershowers.html#post3054272

Try an excorcism by doing a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore. if that doesn`t help reflash the factory image in fastboot.

Do you have a screen protector on your Nexus? Sometimes some of the cheaper ones can cause interference with touchscreens, making them do that. (Happened to my old Droid Milestone)

Draw a pentagram " anyone will do. A good one is the alchemy circle from full metal alchemist "
Sacrifice two ducks, a rat, and two hundred donkeys and start channeling your thoughts and summon tool guy "aka Satan"
In all seriousness did your phone get wet? And I mean that in a totally non sexual way....

Ouch it's really acts like possessed one, you need to call some priest (kidding) :silly:
If seriously, what version of android are you using? It is got wet, or it's just started suddenly to act like this?

You're not alone, well then again i did get a replacement lcd/digitizer so it could be a problem with that.
But without a doubt i'm getting the same symptoms as you, sometimes my screen touches itself and what not.
Power on/off does solve it too.

If possible enable show touch events under developer options that will help you track down if its touch events.
my N4 has recently started showing these signs without any specific reason, its not possessed but what i can understand is my device has got a horizontal strip in middle of screen which is non responsive to touch and the random touch events are tracked to that specific region only.

I have the same problem. I've got a brand new nexus 4 and its really jumpy and the best possible way to describe it is definitely possessed. Does anyone have any solutions or shall i just send it back and get it replaced?

can not say reliably because you did not describe what led up to it. If you can turn off the phone I think that the thing can save a flash in download mode.

I unplugged the USB cable during the download mode
then the screen become noise as shown in the picture
tried TOT restore to 10E (F320K), no luck

Did you unplug the USB while it was restoring? If you did... WHY?!
Have you tried holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds so you can force it to turn off and tried going into download mode again?
NEVER unplug the phone while it's doing its thing.

is it related to the display??

I can enter the download mode
the display snows like the attached photo
did TOT 10e and KDZ 20r flash with flashtools/R&D
no luck
would it be software problem?
or hardware problem like Pseudo Soldering?

Did you ever get this resolved?
I started having the same problem on my VS980 this morning after I flashed CloudyFlex 2.3. It worked great for a few hours, then one time when I woke it up, I was greeted with this same issue.

kernel
You need to find coorect kernels for yours devices, there 2 types, jdi and ldi kernels. You can find it in android development section.

I ended up sending my phone in for a warranty replacement.
A few hours after this problem started, the screen completely failed. Everything on the phone worked fine. I was able to make calls via BT in my car and could hear the touch sounds and vibration when I would try to interact with the screen, but the display would not turn on.

As far as I know, those kernels are patched to fix the "white lines" issue that people (mainly LS980 users) are experiencing. Now, I can't find a good picture of that issue, but this is definitely not "lines" of any color. I'm also convinced that this problem is not kernel related because after doing a TOT restore back to 11A, the problem persisted.

Hi I have the same problem with my LG G2 too. Sometimes the screen will come back on but it stutters and lags. After a while it would go to the white noise screen again. I'm going to send it in for repair under warranty but my phone is rooted and also have twrp installed. However I am using LG's stock ROM. I'm worried that my warranty will not be valid because I've rooted. How did you get it repaired under warranty? Did you tell them that your phone is rooted?

I don't want to be unrespectful, but I think that it's something like a video effect to show to the user that something went wrong, as long as those screens aren't "analogic" or coaxial-via connected. Maybe? Also, something similar happened to me with a bad "flex" screen video cable, can not be bad, maybe just dirty.
Those are just ideas, and nothing more, but please hear me and check for what I said.

Duuuuuuude!!!! You need a new flex cable!!! They are like 15 dollars on amazon. Im waiting for a repair shop to put a new flex board on my phone
When your screen is completely functional but its black, white or has this white noise, it means the flex cable is faulty. Just like a HDMI cable for your monitor can be faulty

Anyone could make it work?
I do love this phone a lot and I don't wanna get rid of it yet and all of the sudden I've Got the same white noise screen error in my old lg g2 d800. I did TOT, factory reset and I don't know what else to do. The system works fine because you can hear the key sound when you touch any random space of the screen (when you click on something) but the screen does not refresh at all the new content to show. Of course at this time I am a few years out of warranty lol, but want to know if someone ever happened this and if was able to make it work without taking the easy way out (ask for a new device). Thanks!

SCREEN REPLACEMENT PROBLEM

hi there, I just replaced my screen for the umpteenth time but, on this occasion, it hasn't "taken". The old screen is totally obliterated, smashed display, but it still takes power and behaves as it should (lights up on disconnection of usb charger, for example). The new screen? Not so much. It does actually work, it shows the picture fine, but it only shows it for a fraction of a second then blinks off. When I press the power button again it does nothing, as it thinks I'm turning the phone off, then when I press it again the screen comes back on for a half a second or so and same issue. Have checked all connections, all fine, have swapped in the old screen to confirm it behaves as it should, all fine.
I'm wondering, could this be some kind of gpu/driver issue? Or has anyone experienced this before with a replacement screen and it's just a "dud"? Absolute downer as I've been waiting for it for a month or so and literally can't afford to buy another one at the moment, really bad year

I had a similar problem due to display incompatibility.
I have the phone marked FHD-D on the cable and the new display was FHD-A.
Or, the new display is not original...

Thanks for your reply and yeah, I'm figuring this is what is happening. However, the cable/screen are all one piece and were bought together, so is it possible they'd mismatch the cable to the screen themselves? idk, anyway, I've opened a dispute and have now been told that I'm stupid and that I have installed the screen incorrectly and not connected the battery (absolute gibberish).
I made a couple of videos for them, idk, have a look and see what you reckon but, indeed, to me this looks like straight up incompatibility as the screen isn't being driven properly by the phone (and, as you can see, the old busted screen behaves correctly)
Video of old/broken screen showing correct power response and on/off behaviour:

Here is the video of"new" screen which is clearly not correctly supported

Well hopefully I can get a refund for the part and get another. Can't even afford to order another at the moment until I get the refund :/ Lost my business last year due to covid and don't have access to state benefits or the like, so have just been trying to keep the head above water for the last year and a bit, so believe it or not something like this is a big expenditure for me these days :/

The original screen is "Boe" (see screenshot), this can be verified via the "Device Info HW" application.
Too bad the phone won't start and it can't be verified...

Yeah, it's a pain, I guess the display is just not going to work and I'll have to somehow get another - hopefully I can get the refund okay as those videos show it clearly doesn't work! The phone does actually start up, everything is going on fine aside from the screen. As I have to press on/off several times to get the screen to flicker, I don't have time to put in the unlock code and get into any menus, and then when it goes off I'm back to jockeying the button until it lights up again, at which point of course it's returning from a standby state so it's going back to the code input. BAH!

hello how are you 1 month ago I bought the second-hand mate 10 lite with the crashed but functional screen and I decided to buy a screen since the one I brought stopped working the touch screen everything was fine in the installation but the same thing happened to me as you understand normal but the screen does not work when the device is finished charging and putting the pattern turns on the screen and also that when I make a gesture it does not work I have to press a little hard and I realized that the screen came out a slight defect and I cannot request a refund since remove the security seals when installing it in your case if it came out with a major manufacturing defect
Note 2020 just look at the date of your post and still comment hehe greetings from Mexico
