something weird happens when my phone attenuates its screen [Please read]

Hi i saw a couple of days ago that my N1 do something odd when turning the screen to sleep mode, sometimes (not always) some thick and soft colored lines (light green or light red) appear and dissappear VERY quickly in the bottom of the screen... is this a normal behavior? Whut should i check to see if my screen is going to fail?
my screen works perfectly but... i really dont like this behavior

I have seen that too a few times; just don't give it too much importance.

Hey Fran!
I see you are latin american just like me!
If you like, you can ask for me messenger so we can chat about cellphones
Dude, im a little paranoic, does this happens very often to you?

have anyone faced this trouble too?

I just noticed this same thing last night. it happens maybe once every 6 times you turn off the screen. it happens on the bottom part of the screen.
however one observation, this does NOT happen if you are viewing the lock screen and then turn off the screen. it only happens when viewing the homescreen, or web browser, etc.
so because of this fact, it doesn't happen all the time, nor on every screen, so that tells me it might be some type of software glitch or power glitch. I don't think this means our screens are failing.
this is a VERY difficult issue to notice.

Thanks for answering Roger!
Im a little bit uncomfortable with this issue because it makes me think that my phone's screen will stop working any time... i may say that i have noticed that this is happening more often now than before...
I hope im just being paranoic about this!!

[Q] Problem-Display suddenly turned fade colrs with multiple horizantal black line?

Hi i got samsung galaxy s 1 month back ,today when i am browsing widgets from main screen Display suddenly started to show fading colors with multiple horizontal black line and phone is hanged,i waited for few seconds hoping it will return to normal but continuously all colors lost slowly with white screen and multiple black lines.then i removed battery and restarted after which display is fine with no problem.
so anyone experienced similar problem and what should i do if it happen again?
Thank you!

Hey mate,
I had the same problem with an I9000 international a while back, it was a hardware fault and the phone was replaced by my carrier. (at least that is what they told me)
Sorry for the bad news,
Alex

Now,My phone is workinkg fine!
By the way how many times you had this problem? After this problem ur phone is dead or worked after restart?

Today when i pressed side key to turn on display there are three white lines on display when i drawed pattern to unlock phone lines disappeared!
this is hardware problem? should i go to customer care?

Hi again,
My phone did it intermittently when i was using it, not just on certain screens, it was almost random. Sometimes it would work perfect for 2 days then just have the same problem you described.
My RMA sheet from Samsung said:
Tested Main PCB
Tested Display
Handset Hardware fault
Replaced Handset
Passed live air tests
Passed stress test
So based on the above, my phone was ratsh*t

[Q] SGS got wet - a few issues

It's been almost a week since my SGS got wet. The phone works not that bad, but it has a few issues. Anything I could solve by myself? I can't really find a trustworthy service around my area. Or at least maybe you could tell me what components might got corrupted.
The phone sometimes starts with green screen made by thousand pixels, then slowly changes into white and when I click the main button it's fine and I can enter my pin code.
The colors of the screen are a bit faded. Something like 256 colors. I can post a video if necessary.
When I want to enable the black screensaver it starts blinking from screensaver to blocked screen, 1-3 seconds every blink. Sometimes it's fine, but only sometimes. Also, I can post a video if necessary.
I can call and text only when the phone is set to only GSM mode and packed data is off. When in auto mode or packed data are on then it I can't call or text and ofcourse I can't use the internet without wifi.
When phone is turned off the battery drains very fast.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I seems your screen is damaged, you need to get that repaired.

just yesterday my SGS got in sink i dried it in rice for about 9 hours and now its completely functional. so maybe your water damage is bigger then mine. anyway you should go to service centre because your screen already damaged so unless you have one more amoled screen and know how to replace it. and other issues u have is because of hardware problems... Your shined way is to SC

Thank you for your replies.
The screen after more time works better, just that blinking still bothers.
One more question. That fast battery drain while the SGS is turned off and goes from 100% to 10% of battery in few hours - is it more likely to be a hardware issue or the battery itself?

[Q] Two Random Galaxy S Problems (possibly hardware)

Hi I have been using a Galaxy S for almost two years. I have two problems which started to occur recently. They occur in all ROMs I tried, so I don't think it is a software issue.
1- Sometimes when I unlock the phone the screen acts like I touch everywhere, even though there is no contact. It randomly starts apps etc. It can be very annoying. When I lock the screen and unlock it again, everything is normal. It happens two or three times a day on average.
2- Sometimes when I try to unlock the screen, the screen turns on, there is light coming out of it but it is still black. Nothing happens. I think this happens mostly when there is a media app running like music etc. but not 100% sure. The only solution is a reboot. Sometimes after waiting for some time the screen turns on but rarely.
Are these look like simple problems that can be fixed by phone repairer or something or the screen is dying? What do you think about it?
Thanks.

Getting blank screen frequently

Does anyone else have an issue with the screen going black randomly? When I attempt to unlock my Mate 20 Pro from lock screen I have been getting a black screen. Nothing works. I can hear clicking while I am touching the screen but nothing happens. No particular app running or starting just when I unlock the screen using fingerprint. First time it happened was a few weeks ago and I didn't think much of it. Then it started to happen more frequently a few times per week (5-6). Now it seems to be getting worse 10-15 times per week. I am at a loss to explain why this would happen. I just keep on hitting the screen randomly, pressing the on/off toggle several times. Eventually after about 3-5 minutes the phone screen re-appears.
