Hi, I recently was using my nexus one and the green trackball light just automatically turned on (solid color not flashing). I cannot get it to turn of no matter what I do. I have already tried wiping, reflashing, battery pull, and hard reset. The green light turns on immediately after powering on the device. Any help is much appreciated.

Very strange I've herd of a red light that wouldn't turn out it's sign of a hardware problem (water damage I think) but never a green one
What were you doing when it went on??
I have also heard of this problem (or at least I vaguely remember something like this). On the one I remember, it turns out that some piece got bent and came into contact with something from the trackball. It required taking the phone apart to remedy it.
I had a similar thing a few times: After confirming green notification light (by GoSMS), it has been glowing further at very low brightness. It only went off when disabling TB Notification in setup menu.
Last night the green light started flickering while charging, but this morning it was solid green again... it really is annoying and is a battery drain.

I am going to assume you have cm7 or cm something. If you go into the trackball notification menu when you can choose color and what not, select the application in where you picked green. Then hit "flash test" and hit "ok" when the light is off.
It got stuck for me too and this is how I fixed it.
Paintball, did you fix this? Mine also displays green 24x7 and causes serious battery drain. My daughter drooled quite a bit on the dock charging connectors, so I suspect something is shorted, but it's also been dropped (same person responsible for the drooling), so something could be bent as well. FWIW, I have no trackball alerts set.
Stuck in the green as well...
I have the exact same problem! In this case my girlfriend drowned the phone with lemon gatorade on her beach purse our last vacation a week ago, so I believe that's the problem: something is wrong inside the N1. I'm going to a phone repair shop see what can be done.

I notice this particularly when on white screens. But every few seconds the screen tints VERY slightly different colours. It's a very subtle change but basically every 3 seconds or so, the screen goes from having more of a blue tint, to more of a warm tint. I'm wondering if my phone is faulty or if it's some sort of optimisation in the software. I have the screen power optimisation turned off, and auto brightness turned off but it's still doing it. Again, it's only very subtle. Do you think this phone should be returned? It's running Cassies ROM v4. Bought it from Expansys in the UK (but it came from france). Really appreciate any advice on this as I need to decide if it needs to be returned.
So, It's only 3 weeks since I bought this phone, and last weekend i accidentaly drop it (damn..) but at first glance it didn't have any scratchs. But then the next morning when I turned on my phone I notice a red stain on the booting screen, and then I realized that whenever the screen's color is black, the stain is there :S . You can only notice it on a black background, others colors works fine.
So i was wondering if it this could be fixed. I searched on internet if it was a dead/stuck pixel, do you think it could be fixed with one of those fixing apps? (I tried it for around a hour, but so far no good) What options do I have? I talked with Amazon and they said that they will refund/exchange my phone but I would like to avoid sending it back if it can be fixed.
Thanks in advance
send it to the warranty screen isn't broken they will fix it
My Nook HD is charging fine and holds a charge. However, I have to press and hold the on/off switch multiple times to see it reboot to get to the screen. During these attempts, the screen will light faintly then go black. Problems started when the wallpaper changed to yellow swirls, the letters under icons/apps are very hard to read, the brightness is turned up all the way, and the letters when reading a book for night mode are yellow on black. Background has dimmed. B&N Help was not helpful. I can't find ANY thing like this on the internet for help on this issue. Any advice?
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.
