[Q] AMOLED Screen Problem/Has become green! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiya!
The display of my phone has gone green (!). Everything looks greenish in color. I've been having this problem for the past 2 weeks but it always gets back to normal color when I press the display/screen.
Now, it is stuck and everything is looking Greenish, could it be AMOLED problem??
Have been using SGS for past 6 months and have been flashing customized Roms almost once every week. As mentioned above, have been experiencing greenish color for 2-3 seconds randomly for the past 2 weeks and more so when the phone is in charging mode.
Another weird behavior that I've been experiencing is that the BOTTOM LEFT of the screen gets pressed automatically and whatever is there (games/phone/message etc) opens. This problem also used to resolve after locking/unlocking the phone. The frequency of these occurrences have been increasing over the fortnight.
My doubts are
1. Is it my screen problem-has AMOLED burned out??
2. I flashed cyanogenmod around a week back and the frequency of these problems (greenish hue/automatic screen-touch) has increased. Could this be Rom-related. If so, has anyone experienced it??
I've taken pics with phone camera (greenish-hue) and when I transfer them to mac, they look crystal clear which means problem with display, ain't?
Pls help me out guys. I am planning to go out of city for next fortnight..If it is AMOLED problem, I can claim warranty and replace phone before going on tour.
Quick suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
PS: Will post screenshot in a short while..

Could it be that you are using CM render fx? There is an option for green (terminal)

The reason why I am doubting cyanogenmod is it used to resolve itself after lock/unlock but now I am stuck..
Even the screenshots are looking normal!
Took the photo of my sgs with Mac webcam..Greenish tone is now clearly visible..

Thanks for suggestion.
Checked but nope. Even my boot animation screens (cyanogenmod logo) are green now:sad:
Suggestions pls!

Another problem that I've been facing is, while charging, battery level goes up suddenly and shows fully charged. On removal from charge, it stays at 100%. Whenevr I reboot (which I do just to check battery as i dont want phone to switch off suddenly), the battery level corrects itself to actual.
Even now, my battery level was 57% but after charging for 5 mins, the phone was showing full charged and to remove the charger!
Is this atleast cyanogen Nightly problem? Anyone, pls help!
PS: Going to sleep now, will check in morning and update the status. Have already started to download Froyo Stock to flash in case i've to go for replacement

Yeh better revert to stock and get it serviced under warranty.

Update:
Have flashed stock Froyo Rom and took it to the Mobile shop(Hotspot) where I bought the phone. They asked me to take it to Samsung service center for servicing, so gonna take it there tomorrow
PS: Had lost warranty card/invoice, the employee at Hotspot was kind enough to provide me a copy of the bill after checking the IMEI no. Appreciate the customer service at Hotspot (hence the reason for mentioning)

Do u use voodoo color?

My friend had exactly the same problem I also have a screenshot of it. He dropped it from 1 meter to concrete. We flashed stock rom on it and he got his screen replaced by warranty.

No idea... I bought my phone at the earlier earlier batch, where it is pack in bubblewrap... LOL!
Anyway, at 2.2.2, still same problem. Doesn't want to get custom rom, as after my exam, i'm going down to LG and get some servicing or shyt out from them...
The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

Flashing Green Screens while screens load

So this was happening before but I factory reset my phone and now after about a week and a half it's happening again;
everytime i either go back to the previous screen, or while i'm on a loading screen (noticed it a lot with Netflix) but i get these green pixely squares that flash on my screen... this a known issue with the version? or should i take my phone back?
I'm not really sure how to better describe it...
Have yet to experience that, had my unit for over 2 weeks.
Take it back.

I have the same problem with mine had it since it came out?

I've had the same issue. Started happening within 2 weeks, but more recently it hasn't happened much. A battery pull always fixed it for me. I'm experiencing random reboots when the phone hasn't been touched for ten minutes, this is more disconcerting to me
I haven't noticed it after a reboot for a couple days now...
But i do remember almost directly after it first happened (before i did the factory reset) my phone started doing the whole random reboots too. That's when i read the post about fixing the camera and not using the assistant backup/restore functionality when you activate the account...
I thought it had fixed all the issues but seems they're still there just, less sever...
Rebooting the phone (temporarily) fixes the issue for me
[sent from my droid]
I swear, after using the camera this happens. Until I reboot I get some kind of green checkerboard whenever the screen rotates or changes
Same here. Every time I use the camera and sleep the phone it will get hot and drain the battery. Waking the phone gives me green pixellated images and serious slowness. Battery pull after taking pictures is the only way to mitigate it...for now.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
So this seems to be a common issue... has anyone been able to talk to motorola? is there an update coming out anytime soon to get it fixed? or is it just a hand full of bad phones?
smc, have you still not experienced any of these issues?
can you try seeing if it might happen after some of these scenarios listed in this thread? would be greatly appreciated!

Screen becomes purple

Dear All,
I recently bought my phone and i am trying to get used to its big screen but otherwise i am fan already.
I was playing a game and suddenly my screen turned purple, initially i thought it was the games graphic but after closing it the screen itself was purple. I restarted my phone and the screen became normal.
Is it something serious?
I am still under my seven days return period and i can cancel the contract.
Thanks

i too faced the similar problem. After restarting the screen became normal. Anyways this may help. Go to 'Display' > 'auto adjust screen power' and uncheck it. This should solve the problem.
So that means its not a hardware fault?

Same thing happened to me and I ran to XDA to search and found this! I'm a bit relieved that it seems it is a software issue, but I don't have screen power saving on and I turned off all power saving options.
I started up Gameloft's GT Racing Academy and thought it was some weird game bug, but then after closing it my homescreen was also pink/purplish.
I have a similar problem but it doesn't turn purplish after playing a game. With mine, when ever I wake up my GNote after an hour or so, it will start off green but slowly fade away after a few seconds. One person suggest it could be a screen fault and to return it. But after I disable the auto screen brightness, it has improved (still getting a green coloring when I wake it up but take less than 1 second to get back to normal and I can live with that). But I never had to reboot to get the screen back to normal though. It could possibly be a bug with the game.
If it only happens with one game, it will more likely be the game that is causing it. But if it is happening with every game, I would be a bit more concern.
If you got a custom kernel or custom rom, try a different rom or re-flashing the kernel/rom. I read on a few other threads that by re-flashing, it fixes some problems.
It was happened to me yesterday when I am playing GT Racing game. I switched off and on again then no problem.

Same game it happened to me on. The screen was fine before I started the game, but once I got into the game everything was covered in a purple hue. I wonder if it is that specific game that might cause it, because I'll delete it and never go back.
This has just happened to me while using Google Talk ... Everything went purple ... When switching back to the home screen, icons that were orange are pink ... Not a good look ... A reboot solved it and I feel a tad reassured after reading these posts that it's nothing major ...
Pictures, pictures, pictures!!! Do a hand swipe when you see it to capture a picture!!!!! It happened to me too and I forgot to take a damn picture!

anyone has a suggestion?

Date and time reset after change of battery

Guys, today I encountered a problem on my Galaxy Note.... when I remove and replace the battery (a proper switching off the phone), I need to reset the date and time again!!! This is the FIRST time I have encounter this!! Previously, nothing wrong at all?
Any experts here knows what is going on??
I've had this too. I have 2 spare batteries as battery life on my Note is pathetic. Sometimes when I switch them it will rest the date/time. I've installed Clocksync from the market to auto sync with a time server on boot. It may still happen every now and then but I don't see it because Clocksync does it's thing before I notice.
lol same here, never encountered that before but now it happens everytime i take the damn battery out.
I resolved it by ticking the automatic time zone.

I recently came across this issue as I had to change my SD card several times. I do have auto time sync enabled but the sync occurs about 1-2 minutes after the phone booted. Which leads to various annoying issues with different apps (e.g. Reminders pop up again, Alarms go off, previously scheduled and already sent SMS are re-sent etc.).
I just stumbled across this post. Not sure whether the Galaxy Note has a BAT500 or similar battery/capacitor. My Note is ~1 yr. old and unfortunately I can't remember if it ever kept the date & time. So I'm wondering if I should send it in for warranty. But that post made me wonder too:

I recently bought a spare battery and followed the guide saying it's better to charge the battery when it's really low. So I encountered my phone battery totally flat sometimes, especially in the morning. I guess the small battery on the board that keeps the date and time up to date runs empty when a totally flat battery is still in the phone for some time. I think this date-and-time-reset thing Might not happen that fast compared to a phone without a battery in it (like when it's new). The circuit is complete for the small battery on board to discharge fast with a "totally flat" battery in the phone I guess?
If anyone knows about this, and solved it, please help here. Thanks.
I hope after a few charges the battery on board can restore? Or it has to be replaced?
not sure if you get the battery on the board to replace

Hi Massimo 2001,
The N7000 has a BAT600 on board. There are schematics circulating on the web. As far as I can see, this is purely a hardware issue and should be covered by warranty.
I have had the same problem and have now sent my Note in for repairs. Will let you know how it works out.
Too bad, I'm no longer on warranty.

Touch screen going CRAZY

I think I have the weirdest problem with my Sensation XL.
It works fine and sometimes, when I unlock it, the touch screen goes into super frenzy mode and starts doing things on its own. When it's stuck in that mode, I cannot use it, and it clicks buttons around randomly and very fast.
I have seen it open my messages, swipe a long gibberish text and send it (!) or this morning it just opened contacts and deleted one!
I am pretty sure it's all in random because on the keyboard I can see it swiping very randomly around the screen and in a very fast speed.
What on earth is this and how do I stop it? It almost looks like a virus or some sort of spyware but I checked and see nothing malicious installed.
The phone is about 8 months old and is not rooted. Latest firmware installed.(4.0.3 Android version).
The crazy behaviour did not coincide with any updates in software. Just started 3 weeks ago randomly and happened maybe 5 times till now.
The only way to stop your phone going mad and doing something you don't want it to do is to quickly rip the battery off, because you are unable to restart it from the touch screen.
It only happens after you unlock it, not while you're using it and I noticed it happens after a long period of inactivity.
Has anyone had that? Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you

Lock the screen and open it again. If this doesn't stop it could be a Hardware problem
I also had some problems like this on the original firmware, but rarely, it got fixed when i flashed Incredibly Cool Sense v3. You should lock the screen not to rip the battery off, as it's faster and it should work

I don't think it's a hardware issue cause the phone works well most of the time. If it was hardware the problem would be permanent, not intermittent and especially so occasional.
Must be something software related, I did add a lot of games to the phone recently but the problem happens even when these processes aren't running in the background which is puzzling.
Locking and unlocking the screen postpones the problem, it doesn't solve it. As soon as the screen is unlocked, it immediately goes crazy again.
I can only solve it by pulling the battery out, and FAST, before it sends crazy messages to my contacts

Welcome to the club. I had that same issue. But after a hard reset everything is fine with mine.
I assume that there was an app causing all that. If after a hard reset still does that you should send it for repair
If you have a screen protector its can be a main reason for this. To stop this behavior you can use power button and wake up it again. Some htc devices have the problem with multi touch screen
Issues of production. Clear the screen products with some alcohol and see than.

I don't have a screen protector actually and the screen is usually clean.
Must be some app, I wonder there was some way to find out which without having to do a hard reset and lose everything

You can't! There is no way you can find out which one is causing that. Maybe it's some update from something that is causing the freezing.
Last night i did notice something else though. My battery was almost empty and i took my gf charger. She has S2 and after i charged my phone it has started to act strange......... Even today after i pluged the phone to install something from the PC it didn't even notice that i have connected it to the PC. Took me about 20 min in/out to get it running I clean the usb slot every week so it is not a dirt issue....
it happens with me when there's water on the screen

Be careful from contiouas pressure on screen it may drive it to behave strangely .
Try to use lock code before putting the phone into pocket
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using xda app-developers app
Definitely on to something.
It has happened a few times when it was drizzling and there were tiny droplets on the screen (not proper rain).
It started acting up when I was swiping the screen against the tiny droplets. After locking it, it would stop responding...
Most of the times I find it either non reponsive or acting weird after I take it out of my back pocket and try to unlock it.
Maybe being in my pocket, even locked, affects it somehow.
Is it easy to put another Rom? Do I lose all my apps?

sorry to bump an old thread.
I have this problem on a bashed up screen. however... I don't think it can be hardware because if I hard reset its then OK on the next boot...
we need to learn more about touchscreens - how are they calibrated? I think it is reset on boot and also on each lock
Its the LCD ribbon touching the metal housing, short circuiting the screen, easy fix with a piece of tape over the ribbon
Edit
Also, once the phone heats up resistance builds up with it causing the issue
