[Q] Purple screen everywhere... what it is? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyboby...
Today a friend give me his tab 7 because he replaced it with a new 10.1 2
The p1000 have a little problem: the screen is psychedelic and all in purple color
I don't want to buy spare parts for nothing and i need to know if someone never had the same problem....
Purple color is always present, in the startup, during the bootanimation, in the recovery and even in download mode...
What i have to do to solve the problem? I must change the lcd panel?
I restore the rom from the rocery, i try all the cm9 setting but it's an hardware's problem
The rest is working perfectly...
Camera take fine photo and standard screenshot if i look him on a pc...
Very thanks!

Hey we don't have the same device I have a 10.1 Gtab but mine just started to show this problem... did you ever found out what the problem was.?

Hey, I'd first try to restock (using Odin and GB safe rom from the Overcome thread).
If it still have the problem it would imply a hardware problem.

Well that is my last step I have already tried 3 ROMs but since I get the purple effect on the Recovery I think this is a HW problem, still I'll give it a try with the STOCK Odin Image later today...
Samsung said it was a HW defect...
I'll let you know..
Update: Tab is back to stock and problem remains definitely a HW problem.

In the morning i open the tab and try to disassemble the lcd panel... i found a plug that was placed in an uncorrect position!!!
I have reassembled all the part and now work fine!!!
Was an hw problem...

[Q] "Flashing" Screen with some apps

Hi Guys, I've done a search and come up with nothing.
I've been on Andriod for 2 years had 7 devices in that time, rooted them all, Very comfy with Flashing ROM's etc.
PROBLEM: Some apps make my screen "Flash" repeatedly.
SOFTWARE BEHAVIOUR - The apps that have done this so far are, Facebook, Gallery, Doubletwist & Quadrant. The App will load fine, display the landing menu and all seems well. Sometimes i can even use an app for 30 seconds and all seem fine. Then i will click a Facebook post, or a "pile" of pictures in Gallery and it will start FLASHING
DEVICE BEHAVIOUR When one starts to do it the Back & Menu keys no longer work, but Home will always return me to the front screen. Phone functions normal (but App is still in same state). If you kill the app then it opens where up where you left off but once you start to navigate it starts flashing again.
I've experienced this problem on:
CheckROM
CriskeloRomNOTE
KINGDROID ELEGANCE NOTE (Current ROM)
ACTIONS TAKEN SO FAR.
Uninstalled / Reinstalled the apps (FB and Quadrant) - still comes back.
Flashed Different ROM's
I'm as close to stock as any of the ROM's above are. I'm not using any 3rd party launchers or any customisation software.
Any ideas guys

Tried Stock ROM??
Thanks
Thats about the the only ROM i haven't tried. I'd have thought that it would have been a problem for other users though.

I would say that the stock rom be the first thing you try. Try and see if you have the issue the way Samsung had intended it to be used.

I'll put the stock ROM on and see what happens
Can anyone point me towards a ROOTED stock ROM for an UNBRANDED Note?

Why nobody else has the problems you have? If the problems still exist on stock rom, i guess you got a faulty screen/ other part of hardware.

Yes . go ahead. Gudluck
If you have same problem after Flashing. Try Flashing LA3 through PC Odin.

Yeah but that wouldn't make sense, if the unit was faulty then it would exhibit the behaviour all the time. The only problems I have are with the apps mentioned in the OP so therefore it couldn't be a hardware problem.

Quick update - (I dont normally have auto rotation on. It annoys me) However i just had it on to watch a video. I checked facebook and after a while it started to flash. I rotated the device and it stopped - weird.

If they exist in stock rom, too, it is hardware related, imho. You don't know which triggers the flashing of the screen. Maybe it occurs only on a specific temperature, or CPU operation these apps produce.

N7000B Help! (BLACK WITH COLOUR PIXELS)

Hello, all! I need some help please.
I just brought my galaxy note from thailand and it's name is
N7000B.
FIRMWARE PDA: LA2/ PHONE: KL2 CSC: KL3
I have tried google search but can't find any info on this model.
Can I flash a Normal stock N7000 with it ???
Also can't find the firmware on samfirmares.com
------------------------------------------------------
Atm: I flashed Netchips cwm it did not root my device and now when I turn on phone the screen is all black with pixelated colours. If I turn it on and swipe my finger on screen it has sound of locksreen swipe, then I turn off power button, then on again sometimes not all times the phone will turn on like normal and everythings works fine.
Does anyone know how to remove netchips kernal v2? and go back to stock?
Thanks in Advance for help!
Hi there.
I got the same problem.
Here is the rom I'm using :
DarkyRom 3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461794)
And the kernel is that one : 2.6.35.13-franco.Kernel-2
When using the rom, at first, everything is fine. then when turning off next 10 secs, the screen is black with many colors. At first, only one (red), then a few more, and it is going on, more and more, and the screen is "lightning".
I don't know where is the problem but if someone got an idea or any help to give, that would be great ^^'

yeah yeah thats it! Little specks increasing to whiteness.
Is your model N7000B or N7000?
The problem might have something to do with Kernal CWM.
What I did was flash a stock rom from samfirmwares.com but the only problem is I couldn't find the original stock (thl) rom that came with the phone.
being N7000B. FIRMWARE PDA: LA2/ PHONE: KL2 CSC: KL3
Anyhow for now with new stock it is working fine.
ps. something else I have noticed is the photos I took before I flashed the new stock rom when zooming in the pixel of the photo doesn't fix. but when I take new photos and zoom in, it is fine. figures
Same to me, the problem was solved by flashing another rom, but I wonder why it happened.
About the photos? i didn't notice, I just scared something bad could happen to the phone about the problem posted above
N.B : I got a N7000 ;=)
Hi,
I've got the same problem on my wife's phone (White GNote).
Problem not seen on mine. :/
Did you solved it ? (I'm on DarkyRom)
All other rom I've tested don't have this issue.
here is another thread with the same issue.
Edit:
SOLVED !
Flashed new kernel: AbyssNote -> OK
Also tested another version of franco.Kernel with no luck

Screen displaying wrong things

Hello, I got a serious problem with my Galaxy S..
something must be wrong here, when I'm on ICS, photos are displayed like they had a very poor quality or something like that..
I'm running SlimICS and tried devil kernel with and without Voodoo color, this didn't change anything.. even when I changed the VC values..
When I start my phone, at the point of boot up when the devil kernel boot screen appears, it first appears usual and within a second changes to some strange view, like you can see on the photos...
http://db.tt/qIhJejyu
these are pictures of the devil kernel boot screen, the other photos are pictures viewed on the phone. I hope you can help me
when using other kernels/roms(ics) the same thing appears so it's not kernel related
am I maybe posting in the wrong section?
can nobody help me?
Looks like a VC issue, have you tried some stock/custom GB roms?

GB is fine, but I want to have ICS goodness
ICS rom without VC has the same problem... I also tried Devil without VC...
But on GB rom it is OK? ... maybe you should try clean install of Slim ICS, that means - flash stock 2.3.6 jw5 (link to gb flash kit is in ics333 thread in development section), root it, flash newest cm9 nightly, and then slim ics and kernel, first try semaphore, then devil3 ...
yes, it's perfectly fine in GB..
already did this 100 times
Maybe you are doing something wrong if not, it may be a hw problem, but I don't think so...
don't know whats wrong with the device, ...#
EDIT: Okay, I guess I got it, as this device is pretty new, I got it replaced due to a warranty case, I think it has a newer display or something, which isn't supported by the drivers used in all AOSP based roms (CM7 also doesn't work)... pretty bad
Interesting... don't you have a Galaxy SL? It is SGS but with normal TFT screen, not with SuperAMOLED...
No, I don't have this ****..
Real SAMOLED I9000

I'm facing the same problem. With GB kernel it looks fine, but with any ICS or JB kernel colors go really wrong
It's the first time I see it.
Any idea?
Seems to be a driver issue
I am having this issue too.
There is a video in youtube titled "CM9 on Samsung i9000 framebuffer bug ('blue color bug')" showing the same issue.
In the comments they say it's a problem with framebuffer (fb) driver.
I have been taking a look to Samsung's kernel fb for tl2796 lcd panel (which I suspect it's ours) and there is a feature called ACL which is missing in CyanogenMod's fb driver. This feature seems to perform some colour corrections.
I am willing to solve this issue but I have no knowledge about kernel drivers nor graphics drivers. I have been reading about it in different manuals and articles but I'm still lost.
I would thank any developer to point me to the right documents to learn how to solve this issue.
Maybe pawtip or stratosk could help.

[Q] [HELP] Camera i897 Cappy

hi bros!!!
days I have a problem with my camera and my cappy Galaxy s i897 ..
in GB and ICS goes black image! .. JB and 2.3.7 and the app closes and says: Unfortunately the gallery was to stopped.
I've done everything I've tried roms and nothing .. you buy the camera! Internet and install it and nothing .. jb sometimes at work but not now.
what he saw that some had my problem and updated the firmware of your camera .. the question is?? how to update the camera firmware of Captivate? or recommend I do?
please help me!
sorry for my english.
I did a downgrade right now to see q and nothing happened!
always stays that way! .. I leave the attached picture
http://i50.tinypic.com/2r5xdfp.jpg
I would do brand new install through Odin or heimdall via download mode
thereafter check camera module connection if re flash won't help
good luck
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
talk about a downgrade? and if that works then as I q?
first, you have to check whether it works or not
the best way to check it is to use brand new stock ROM via Odin or heimdall.
if the camera and phone works go and grab custom ROM of your choice.
if not, you have to check inner hardware...
good luck!

I installed the stock rom GB and nothing! the screen is always black, buy the camera online, and the install and does not work! .. I tested thousands of ROM's and not to do!

Either the camera you bought online is defective or the physical connection on the board is bad... Of course there's always the chance that the connectors on the board have some corrosion on them and if you cleaned them all would be better. Or you could have installed the camera upside down so it's just seeing the inside of the phone...
I clean the contacts on the card and is well connected the camera! .. I sold the cappy used, and it came with that problem, quisas previous owner modified the driver of the camera or something, I tried the camera on another cappy and it works.

[DISCUSSION] Fixing the OB's softkeys

Hi,
I just wanted to create a centralized thread for all the discussion surrounding the work of fixing the softkeys.
Many users are reporting, including myself, about the softkeys not working properly after some time on the ICS roms.
My 25 cents:
Is it a kernel issue? ROM issue? I have tried multiple ROMs but none have fixed the issue.
Multiple kernels tried too, to no avail. I suspect it is a software issue though. It's as if the buttons go into some state of sleep mode in the software, and after a few minutes come back for a few milliseconds. Just my thoughts into it.

After facing the issue, i smartflashed gingerbread, there also softkeys not worked.
It is a kernel issue for sure. Worked great on GB, but I think they messed up the driver in ICS. Have you tried my blue kernel already? Dont know if I fixed it there, but it is worth a try. Or compile your own kernel, but use the GB Softkey files. Should work just fine with some mods here and there
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app
Has anyone successfully fixed this issue?
I am facing the same problem after flashing ICS on my OB.
i fixed it by replacing the digitizer, i had to order 2 cause the first arrived with the same problem.
Maybe

I don't know about that though, mine works excellent through the CM key test. Just fails in the OS. And I can't use the kernel by Nooby, I'm on Nameless KK. But before that I tried IZS, GB, 2.1, etc to no avail.
I'm gonna research this and try and fix it in the Aeroi Kernel
