Yesterday my Captivate developed a line that goes from the top of the screen to the bottom. I turned it off and pulled the battery. The line comes back the instant I turn the phone back on. It seems to take on the predominant color of the background. On a black screen it is not visible (other than on the top bar). On white text window it's bright white. On grey keyboard it's greenish.
Has anyone experienced this? I assume this is covered under warranty. I just hate to go through the grief.
I've never dropped or gotten the phone wet. It is running stock Froyo.
Sounds like your screen is defective. Sad news is that you'll have to go though warranty...

Last night, using my nexus one, I sent a text and put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out 10 mins later, my screen was broken. The screen is not cracked in any way. The top of the screen was filled with yellow pixellines, the bottom was black. As the evening proceeded i kept it in my pocket, it still received text messages and this morning my alarm went off, so it's just the screen. As i checked on it, the scheme on the screen changed. purple colors in the bottom corners, totally black, a light pinkish layer across the entire screen...
I was wondering if this would fall under the warranty and if anyone has had a similar problem.
If it were mine, I would certainly be trying to get it fixed under warranty.
OUCH! Post how it turns out please. Good luck.
N1 running psfreedom recovery and MIUI! sent via XDA app =D
and does anyone have any experience with sending the telephone in from abroad? like... europe
So it's my second N6 and another problem. Firts they gave me replacement phone, because back cover became unglued and battery expanded. In this replacement, screen is not even. On white webpage right edge of the screen looks much colder, than the left edge. When on dark background, like grey right edge looks blueish and left edge looks normal. I took it on sevice and they told me this is on feature, not a defect or malfunction. Is there some program/kernel/anything, which can control screen edges seperately ? If I turn adaptive brightnes off and screen on brightnes on highest, the problem is much smaller.
In my first Nexus 6 I had screen that was more bright + yellowish at the bottom and darker + pinkish at top. Shop replaced my phone without complaints.
They sent mine to service, and they told that it's feature. Now they dont't answer my messages and I'm stuck with that defective unit.
I'm randomly getting a split screen, half of the screen turns upside down, half stays right side up. Screenshots do not show it however. I have to turn off the screen for it to go away. Happens periodically after several minutes of use. Any thoughts?
looks a bit like a slot machine yes? I have a vertical split where the the image is not flipped, but it does scroll up/wrap around the screen so that the notification bar is somewhere in the bottom half of the screen and the bottom of the image is wrapped around to the top.
I only really get it on custom kernels, I reported it to the maker of Elite and he said from what he has heard its a hardware issue and the only fix would be to RMA. Haven't done that yet as it fairly occasional, but plan to soonish.
kinda sucky how we are getting screen issues on this phone, i also have a screen issue with vertical gradient line appearing on some material themes.
sadly i cant RMA it. if i could i would have, i have ordered it all the way from the Middle east. :/ i will stick to the phone for a while longer as i love it.. and hoping that the line somehow dissappears by its own.
I bought a screen of eBay which said it was OEM but who knows? Anyway I had the screen installed at a phone repair shop and it seemed to work fine until I walked out of the store and turned it on to notice that the screen was black and white. I turned it on and off again and it went back to normal but i went in to tell them anyway when i was walking in I turned the screen in and off a couple times to see if I could get it to go black and white again and sure enough if did. It seems to turn black and white every couple times I turn it on and off. It doesn't flicker back and forth and it doesn't charge when I'm using the phone also i had a custom ROM installed so I got rid of that to see if it would fix it it didn't and I reset the entire device to no avail but I did notice that to this point I haven't had it go black and white while in the boot-loader and i have tried a lot turning it on and off again and again. I also noticed that there are lines bouncing in the background when the screen is black and white which are also visible when the screen is normal but only barely. Apart from that the screen seems to shake when its in black and white and sometimes the touch wont work for a couple seconds its not a big deal because you can just turn the screen on and off to fix it but its a very strange problem i have contacted the seller and I talked to the man who installed it but I was wondering if it was possible that it was some kind of software issue it seems unlikely but the fact that it doesn't flicker on and off its just either on or off and the fact that i cant seem to get it to happen in the boot-loader is making me wonder I also tried recording my screen and the screen was recorded normally when it was black and white to me.
While I was watching a video, I noticed a permanent yellow tint on top of my screen (where signal/time/wifi are located, in those spots). The yellow tint is permanent and it's more noticeable when the brightness is on max, especially on white screens), it doesn't go away nor it changes (for example on yellow tint, i can see some past 'time' and notifications). I am not sure how to explain it better. The phone never fell down, nor It has any damages. I have it for a year and I never had any issues.
Anyone with the same problem? I mean it's something terrible but it sometimes it's annoying.
I also wanna say, if I take a screenshot of my screen, and then check that screen on my PC for example, I don't see the yellow tint.
That's exactly how it looks: https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/...17/05/aa-imgur-galaxy-s8-burn-in-1200x675.jpg
Screen burn in, I imagine? Plus I can see my Google keyboard clearly on a fully blue screen. I wonder if the problem is just the screen or the frame underneath the screen as well. I guess it's not fixable unless you replace it...
