Hey,
I'm writing this thread because my SP have a problem i have never seen.
About once per day, the screen freeze, takes stranges colours(like the white turn yellow and black turn grey or green) for about 5 seconds, then come back normally.
I know it's only the screen freezing because the sound works normally during the freeze.
I think this is not a software problem because it started when i was in Paranoid Nexus, i changed my ROM few times (PAC, CM11) and i'm actually on stock ROM and it's still having that issue.
Somebody know what this problem is ?
Thanks a lot

Hmm... for my sp there is exacly same probliem freeze and colour changes like contast geting bigger and bigger than all works normal and many times i get that probliem on many roms i think this is hardware probliem but as I can say just use phone this probliem is not so bad as its can be :good:
This is a known issue on Xperia SP and it is indeed a hardware problem. It happens a lot of times on my phone with varying intensity, sometimes screen fades very little and returns back to normal, sometimes it completely blackens out and restores itself.
I had a similar experience when I had the stock ROM, used to see weird colors and phone restarted. didn't have that issue on CM11 though.

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?

Do not fear, it is not a hardware fault. Its potentially a power saving glitch !!! Your device is not faulty. Relax !!!

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!

same problem after upgrading to ics
My screen works perfectly on GB rom but when i upgrade to ics it turns purple. you can actually see the moment it turns purple when turning on the phone and the samsung logo appears.. it is white for a few seconds and turns purple. i have tried all the suggestions i have found in forums or youtube but nothing solved the problem. i have also tried many different ics releases but same problem. only when going back to GB it becomes normal again.
anyone has a suggestion?
Hello Guys,
a Friend bought a used i9000 on ebay for 130€ from a business man, which got a ne phone from his company and sold hin mobile on ebay and he asked me for a litte work around of his "new" phone.
Optically is the phone perfect BUT if I take a call on Android 2.3.6 display stays black (with backlight) and I can make the call. But I can't do anything more, hang up etc. If the opponent hangs up, I hear the hang up sound but display stays black and thephone wount do anything. So it's needet to pull battery, put it back and restart the phone. On doing a call, the phone has similar problems, it freezes.
After a couple of re-flashes with odin nothing changed.
So I tryed to switch to actual android OS. I flashed SlimBean 2.7. Every thing workes well. but even call-issues. If i receive a call, the phone woun't do anythin and it keeps ringing and "holds" the call for exactly 32 seconds. Now I can talk with the caller. But most callers don't wait 32 seconds to call to me If I do a call in JB I can talk from the first second on, but display freezes and I can't hang up. Thats the state for around 28 seconds and then phone will response normally and I can hang on and do everything I whant.
Even in Slim I tryed reflash a fiew times with no cahnge.
Has anyone an idea?
I think thats a hardware related problem. But in fact its possible to do a call, but only with that issues/delays. So I need a solution, that JB (SlimBean 2.7) don't "hold" the call/freezes for 32 seconds. I think because its every time 32 seconds, thats a fix value in JB. so I need something to cahnge the value from 32 secs to may be 0 oder maximum 5. But thats only guessed by me so I need help of a PRO here to solve that nerving issue.
I also tryed to install other dialers, but thats not a good solution, because the use for calling the stock rom dialer (phone.apk), damn
Please help me guys (sorry for my bad english )
UPDATE: I did read a litte in web and found, that the light sensor could cause issues in calling (start and end). So I downloaded a app whitch will show me he values of the light sensor. Ands its true, the sensor will show me whole time same values. I changed the sensor od the device of my friend and mine but that does not solve the problem. same issue.
In second Post I'll load a some Pictures of both devices up. My device shows around 30 lux and the one of my friend around 5.
UPDATE 2: After some more reading in web I found more guys with same call problem but no solution. May be it could help to disable GP2A Driver oder better only to overwrite the lightsensor value with a fix one.
UPDATE 3: OK I tested with 3 apps and the proximity sensor of the phone is broken ...now i need a solution to disable it or set a fix value in android so that the sensor is unused.
Any ideas?
UPDATE 4: I downloaded the "Hardware Disable" app from Play store and disabled GP2A.
It works for now, I just have to switch off the screen manually by pushing power button at a call and turn it on by pushing power again. But thats no problem for me anf my friend and much better as the call related freezes.
But I need at every startup to confirm to disable the sensor. So I'm looking for a permanent solution for this. Also because the device feels a little bit laggy now.

SOLUTION
So Guys I found a good working solution fpr proximity sensor delay, 32 second freeze by taking a call.
I wrote my Solution in SlimBean thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32809014&postcount=4406
Schould work on any ROM (GB, ICS and JB) because they all use the same Hardware .so (sensors.aries.so in this case)
hey,
since one or two months i have some troubles with my touchscreen. Randomly it starts to press something that i didn't touch and when i stop touching the screen, the system touches from alone. mostly opening google now by swiping up the home button. it also types thigns in whatsapp or so. Sometimes when i turn on the phone the touchscreen doesn't respon. all those problems are solved when i turn off the screen for 5 secs and turn it on again. i am running eXistenZ v3, i also tried some aosp 4.3 roms and had the same problem.
Any idea ?
EDIT: because the problem is solved as soon as i turn of the screen and on again i am not sure if it is really a hardware problem, is it ?

I was just about to post with the same issue!
I replaced the screen and back cover on my Xperia Z back in August and it was running issue free for 2 months but after the update last month to 4.2.2 I started having serious issues with touch screen.
Random inputs, no response to touch, looping homescreens and random apps opening and worse.
I am torn between a hardware issue?
As when the USB cable is connected the problem seems to gone so I think there may be a slight voltage leak screwing with the screen?
What is the best way to ensure that it is not a ground/voltage leak issue?
Or
Or because the issue cropped up almost immediately after the last Sony update, is there a chance it could be a software issue?
I am running on Stock 4.2.2 and any advice will be much appreciated
I have noticed yesterday that my Z's screen keeps pressing a certain spot randomly. Its by the O / P when i use the onscreen keypad. I opened the note app and drew lines, and there is an actual break in the lines when i draw in that area. This happened so sudden. I didnt drop my phone or anything. I just noticed it while typing that the letters started to get jumbled.
I have the same issue but only on certain kernels, I'm using that XZK "Stock kernel" with dual recovery and it's fine now (Note: This kernel only runs on Sony roms) Also, not sure if it's related but if i leave my phone to charge over night, ill turn the screen on and the touchscreen won't respond at ALL unless i hard-reset...

It might have even been a corrupt update, if you run windows go onto the sony application and get it to RE update your phone see if it fixes, it might. And if it does, yay. if not, then atleast you've ruled that out, right?
Well I noticed a small distortion in the screen on a white background in the area that my screen was experiencing random touches, and today I pulled my phone out of my pocket....and 4 cracks spread all over my screen....cant use the touch screen now have to look to order a screen
Well ,it has happened before but I didn't want to exaggerate it ,so I left it just as it was until today .It's completely stock ,with custom recovery .It has happened to me since 5.0 and up until now 5.1 .
It doesn't happen always ,just "occasionally" when there is an incoming call ,Nexus 6 turns off itself .It happened now that I didn't even hear that it rang ,it just turned off ,but I know that my dad called me .
Has anyone ever experienced such issue ,is there a fix ?
To mention that it also gives an odd sound befire turning off :/
Same thing happening for me also with Nexus 6
And this keeps happening more frequently over recent months. This also happens when battery is below 30% and I am taking HDR+ photo. Maybe related to aging battery and apps getting more and more power hungry..?
@pauliusz: First, kudos for actually searching for a thread related to your problem. Too many don't bother. Second, replace your battery, as the shutdowns are in fact a direct result of the battery's age.
Hello,
I own the watch for about 1 year, and recently I faced issues with it,
The upper notification menu stays on the screen and start flashing in glow lightning, sometimes it's half screen, or just 2 lines from the top.
I think it's a burn-in but not sure, it appears only after leaving the watch without use (usually at night, and i can see the problem appearing in the morning).
It disappearing alone after playing with the watch for couple of minutes (turning off,on...)
*I'm running on LeeDrOiD latest rom
**can't post pictures cause i'm a new user....
Does anyone faced this issue, or have a solution for this ?
Thanks Ahead
Yes, a lot of post for this common issue.
it stop after a while and maybe related on the face used and on the time where the screen stay off.
Thanks, the problem seem to have been fixed after flashing the original stock rom.
