Alright, so super weird issue. I can't find anything similar online. So the other day, I was watching a YouTube video and for no reason the colours on the green got all washed out. I downloaded several screen testing apps, and it appears there's an issue with the black pixels. The pixels that are supposed to be showing the colour black all turnout as green. I've tried to reset, reboot, clear cache, reinstall firmware and nothing seems to fix it. Anyone have any similar issues?
Okay so that was a draft from 3 weeks ago, and the issue resolved itself randomly so i didnt end up posting because The screen flashed and went back to normal... But it happened again today and it's much worse now.
I have pictures, but it wont let me post them.......

Defective or maybe the connector that connects the screen to motherboard isnt well placed

Scenario: I was playing... air hockey...and you know how that game can get intense?! Well I was jumping up and down and somebody was calling me but I was too into it to check it. Then it stopped and someone (Maybe same person) called again so I paused the game and checked my phone, it was just a black screen. The lights on the capacitive buttons were working, buttons were working (because the phone was vibrating) and the actual phone was still working but just couldn't see anything. I pulled the battery, turned it back on, put it in my pocket and started playing again. At the end of the game (Yeah, I lost) I checked and it was still black. The screen wasn't off, it was just black LED's I guess. I could scroll to unlock and everything, and now its just stuck like that. Stuck as in I can't see anything...
Not really asking for help because I think the phone messed up, but I'm just saying that the phone might not be perfectly built, or atleast mine wasn't...
T-Mobiles closed right now so I'ma call tomorrow morning.

Wrong Forum? But this situation is DEVELOPING as we speak...
It is an interesting DEVELOPMENT, to say the least.
Maybe he should take pictures and have them DEVELOPED so we have a better understanding!
I had a similar issue but when starting the phone, I would just get a black screen but with the capacitive buttons working but no widgets and no access to apps. Menu options works because I was able to access settings but that's about it. A guy from tmobile forum told me to do a factory reset as maybe it just a minor hiccup in the phone manufacturing so I did and ever since, I have not seen the black screen and I have done a few reboots just to check. Goodluck!
No I just can't see anything. It's like all the LED's are black, I can't factory reset it or anything. Unless someone can do it without looking at the screen....
same thing literally just happened to be about 20 minutes ago. i am extremely frustrated. the screen is just black but its like i can move around on the phone. does anyone know whats going on???
Hey guys,
After another freeze, I was able to actually connect via ADB. The shell was working fine.
Anyways, I did a logcat, and I saw the attached code looping.

It just keeps looping on these audio logs.
Any thoughts?
Anyone else get logcats similar or different than this?

So my screen has a colourisation problem - everything appears yellowish. I originally tought this was a contact issue, though now I'm not so sure.
I can sort of live with it, as I mainly use it to mess around with. Anyway, last night I took the phone back to stock, HSPL'd (2.08 iirc) installed a radio, installed cLK, then Clockworkmod, then Cyanogenmod. When I was messing around in CyanogenMod I noticed that the Google search widget flashed the right colour (White as opposed to yellow. On further inspection, I found that if i went into the browser and viewed the Page Info, the browser window turned white. I flashed back to the latest stock via SD card. I booted up into WinMo6.5 and the colour issue was still there. I went into the browser, pressed the menu button and sure enough, the window in the back ground when to the colours it should be. Anyone have any idea?
PS. I'll post a video this afternoon.
Hi, I had that problem 6 months ago. The screen turned yellowish sometimes but not always. I tried deinstalling & reinstalling stuff but it didn't help. Restarting the phone helped but for a short time. A few weeks later it went worse, blue horizontal lines started to appear now & then. I went back to the shop where I bought it for repair and 2-3 weeks later I had it back. They told me that the main circuit board had to be replaced.
So if you see the same blue lines appear, you know it's a hardware problem.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I noticed this two times now and sadly I did not make a photo of it. I will try to describe it:
The phone is in standby, I press the power button and the display stays black. Over 10 seconds, the black slowly faded to a sort of gray blur. It somehow looked like a can of white wall paint was spilled over the black display. Another buttonpress turned it off again and then it worked normal again. So the phone was still working in the background, not crashed. This also happened one time while I booted the phone, right at the google logo.
What is this?? Is it a defect, or just software bug??
Thanks!

Flash the stock Nexus 4 image, and if it still happens, get an RMA
I can do that, although I am still on stock and unrooted. Only applied ota 4.2.1 update. But I will give it a try!
edit: found two people on german forum who also witnessed this! so more possibly a software problem?
edit2: Got RMA
I gave a NookColor to my oldest son 1 year ago, which was rooted & had CyanogenMod7 on it. The other day he said he was booting it & he pushed some buttons while it booted & when he did the screen turned green. It has never been dropped & he has never had a problem with it before this. You can see the icons, fonts & it still functions properly in all other respects...the screen is just green. The screen is also green during the CyanogenMod startup screen, then it goes black, then is green again during the CyanogenMod boot animation. I can tell that the screen is working normal, as it is lit up & black when it is switching between the boot screens.
I have spent many hours searching the net & cannot find this problem ever happening before. How can I change the background back to normal? Is this a hardware or firmware problem??? I have taken it apart & unplugged & reseated the video connector, just to be sure that that wasn't the issue & I've tried putting different Roms on it, including the new CyanogenMod10 for NookColor & it still has a green screen. I even restored it back to Stock & the screen looks almost normal, but when I played the Introduction video, the video doesn't look like the colors are right or something.
Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is even fixable?
Someone...PLEASE help!
Thanks!
Similar Problem here, except half of screen is green.

I have a similar problem, except only half of my screen is green. The half that is green remains in the same place, regardless of orientation, so I am guessing this is a hardware problem.

My experience is similar, except obviously I have half a screen of odd looking video and half normal. I also tried reverting to the stock rom, but with no success. Fortunately when reading books, i.e. just black text on a white background, the effect is not very noticeable, so the NC is currently back to being an ebook reader.
Still I'd love to know how to fix it. I see powerbookmedic (I have no connection to, or experience of, them) sells used parts for the NC, but is this a display problem, which seems likely, or a logic board problem? Buying both would be more than the whole thing is worth.
Okay so about a week ago I was showing my friend a picture off a GroupMe and all of a sudden my screen shaded green. After that the keyboard moves everywhere and all of the graphics move. I can barely text or do anything on my phone. I contacted Samsung and they had me do a factory reset and run in SafeMode but the problem still occurred. if I lock the phone then the screen stays black until I take the battery out and put it back in. I don't know if this is related but my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi refuse to turn on. Do y'all know what this might be and if so how do I fix it?
Thanks!

It sounds like a hardware problem, to be honest. You might want to send it in.
