[Q] Green flash on screen timeout? Check your hd7, it only takes a few seconds.

I recently noticed that when the screen turns off by itself after being idle, there is a green flicker on the screen the very moment that the screen turns off.
The fact that this doesn't happen when I manually turn off the screen suggests that this might be a software problem but I'm not sure about that.
Does this indicate a bigger problem? Should I take it back to Tmobile? I think my 30 days is about up this week and I didn't get the insurance. I would gladly try to exchange it for a new one tomorrow if we didn't have this huge blizzard right now.
Anyone else experiencing this? All you have to do to check is turn on the phone to the lock screen and wait for it to dim then wait for it to shut off. My screen turns bright green right as it shuts off.
Thanks.

I just checked mine, and it doesnt seem to have this issue ...
It's not a big thing though, but you might wanna go and change it with a new one.

You just need to turn off the phone and it won't happend after that

I discovered that restarting the phone makes the problem disappear but only for a little while. After a day or two it comes back.
I'm assuming that by "restarted" you don't mean a factory reset. Am I right?

I discovered something interesting ... Today i replaced my HD7 with a new one because of an issue ...
Then i had this green flickering problem. It happenned while i was using the shipped rom (1.23). I upgraded the ROM to 1.57 and the issue seems to be gone ... at least for now.
Can you check this? what rom version are you using?

Just soft reset the phone

I'm running 1.20 from t-mobile and you said that 1.54 it's compatible with t-mobile

I'm new to the forums so i don't know about the rom version but the phone says bootloader version 1.20.2250.0.

ok, so i can confirm that the issue is because of your rom version (1.20), since i didnt have this issue again (after the rom update) until now.
but since there are no rom updates for tmobile yet, you gonna have to wait a bit longer.
Just dont worry about this issue, its not a hardware problem.

I have tmobile HD7 and I also so mine doing that a few times. Recently I haven't seen it again, I don´t know if its because I reduced the off screen time.

Hopefully it is purely a software issue.
Just to share my experience, I also notice the green flicker, but only around 1 of 10 times. So don't get too excited when do you don't see one. Problem doesn't resolve after a hard reset either. I understand there's a wp7 update to be released later this month? Hopefully that'll help.
Just a question, these rom updates, are they official and released by Tmobile or whichever carrier you're with? I purchased mine outright online, and so don't have that option.

I have noticed this intermittent issue occur when applying a chosen wallpaper for the lock screen through settings or album but the strange thing is when I re-apply my chosen wallpaper the issue is gone no green screen flicker on screen timeout
I could be wrong but there seems to be a bug when the OS applies the wallpaper, on occasions it does not do it correctly hence the green screen!
I hope the upcoming wp7 update fixes this issue!

[Q] OTA update to 10.4.B.0.569

I updated OTA to 10.4.B.0.569 a few weeks ago.
My phone is stock, rooted, locked BL.
Today I'm getting another OTA system update notice to 10.4.B.0.569 - showing 1.2mb
This is the same version as I already have, but showing a very small size.
Does anyone know about this, and what it is?
Thanks.

I'm getting this too, read somewhere it's supposedly there to update apps but I don't know 100%.. Can't get rid of the message either from my status bar! I also have 101 ready to install on PCC so not sure if I can just update straight to that instead of going through the 569 update OTA? Hoping it won't interfere with my phone etc & mess things up...

Yeah, I hear that the 101 update is rolling soon (another few months then lol) - where did you get it early?
I'm going to run the update and see what it does anyway.

I just updated mine (569 again), said it would take 2 mins but not even that, more like 30 seconds!
Will let you know of changes I notice, but prob won't be any.
The screen not coming on I think is a known bug with 101, not sure about previous updates as I have never experienced this!

Well, got mine over 50%, ran the update, can't say I've noticed any differences to be honest.
Point to note - root was retained again.
Did only take 30 seconds or so, like you say.
I think I'll read up a bit more on the 101 update before I go there :good:

It's just a minor update , after installing it your standby time will improve and also the phone will become a little snappier

I was hoping this would fix the bluetooth audio stutter, but it still stutters. Any other changes?

hi guys and gals
im already on 10.4.B.0.569 as well, rooted already.
got this notification of update with the size 1.2MB, so i am assuming its the same one.
from what i read here, its safe to install this update and it will not remove my root.
is my understanding correct?
btw i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850, when i updated to 10.4.B.0.569.
thanks
UPDATE
i tried installing, but after the reboot, it said it could not install.
any one experience this?
any suggestions what I can do?
thanks.

Ah, you've installed the custom. 569 ROM from NUT's thread.
Mine was stock. 569 OTA update originally, before this 1.2mb thing, perhaps that is why?
Sorry, can't help more, I'm still learning myself.

Three random issues - Has anyone else experienced these?

Background info: I've had my Xperia Z1 only for two to three weeks now. I've been enjoying every part of it, but I've come across three particular gripes I have to mention.
First, random app crashes. One time the Album crashes, the other time System crashed. It appears to be random, not based on anything you were or weren't doing at that moment. I don't think I'm the only one with this though.
Secondly, and here's where it gets weird: my on-screen buttons disappeared. I believe I was just closing GTA: San Andreas. Suddenly, the buttons were gone. I could scroll through the app drawer perfectly, still. That's the odd thing. I should've taken a screenshot if I realised this earlier. I will next time it happens, so let's hope I don't have to. After a while, the phone froze and I decided to reset it, after which everything returned to normal. I guess that's one part where hardware buttons beat software - they don't magically disappear (I hope..).
Lastly, I opened the camera and it looked like it lagged. I pressed the Home button twice or thrice, but then the entire device froze and it kept vibrating like hell! I don't particularly enjoy 5" vibrating devices so I decided to reset it as quickly as possible. No way that could've been good for the device.
Have you experienced one of the last two issues I've had? Or have you had something similar yet different?
Let me know below!

It's pretty important to not lose the three main on-screen buttons, not to mention having a device that doesn't vibrate like you-know-what.
What would repairing the firmware do? The phone is still new. There couldn't be anything wrong with the firmware, not solvable by flashing the same firmware over it again, I reckon.

yeah these are problems and easily can be solved
by PC companion.
even more issue can appear on new phone.
these are bugs on ur ROM
when u repair firmware, PC companion will download latest firmware (available for ur region) and install it on ur phone.
That can solve ur problem.
-
if repairing by PCC didn't help u should download Flash-Tool for Xperia & firmware of another region and flash it.
u can find useful information about it here.

Try repair is really the first thing to do with ROM dependent error, so there is nothing wrong with the answer.

How can this be a ROM dependent error when I just had my Xperia Z1 for a couple of weeks and updated to official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean through an Over The Air update? My Android firmware is as official and up-to-date as it gets right now.
EDIT: Actually, I wasn't even asking for a solution. I was purely wondering if anyone else had these specific issues as well.

Because any update (especially an OTA) might fail and because these errors (mentioned, i think, for the first time here) are ROM dependent.
So first thing I would do is trying the repair.
I'm aware that you only asked for similarities, but as the are annoying errors, we just wanted to help with a possible solution.

Are you running a 4.3 stock ROM?
Do you use bluetooth/have it turned on?
If yes to both, it is a bug in the 4.3 roms related to bluetooth. Only solution I am aware of is to restart the phone whenever it happens and if you can leave bluetooth off

[Q] nexus 6 after new 5.1.1 update BIG PROBLEM(Keeps turning off

Hi , ive done all i can before coming here for help but this is my last resort as im stumped. About a month ago i updated my phone to the latest Android version on my Nexus 6. Literally straight after the update my phone began to play up. It started turning itself off at random times , not when i did a specific thing it could be anything and at any time. Spoke to Motorola and they were no use , so cleared my phone did a reset and still the same occurrence, as it was still on the newest version. But what i found was when the phone was plugged into the mains it didn't go off at all, but then again this problem happened right after the update. SO the next thing i have done is custom ROM but again the device will turn off randomly .I really need help as ive only had this phone since January and ive not been able to use it.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like battery defect. Has same issue on my n4 with regards to being ok when plugged in

Yes, absolutely sounds like the battery issue that is somewhat common. Best to RMA at this point because the next step is that the battery starts to expand.
You can, in the meantime, boot into bootloader, and select bootloader logs. Press power to select and then reboot. This clears and calibrates the battery stats. Most likely, the issue will return.

Software update bug!

Has anyone here experienced samsung galaxy note 8 screen gets this greening/yellowish discoloration whenever phone heats up after the latest software update?? Also the battery drains too fast unlike before.

Got the same issue!
I just got the exact same issue.
I was just watching youtube video then open an app then suddenly my screen turn yellowish and black turned faded. Also got horizontal lines if brightness is set to around 20%-70%. This happens right from boot up of the phone where Samsung logo appears.
Also I noticed that my phone gets warmer.
Mine still not back to normal.
I have read that this also happened to Note9 users.
Any update for a possible solution?
Thank you

I didn't find any solution yet but go join our telegram named "samsung display problems" there's a lot of memebers there and every one experience this issue so they made a group, pls email me at [email protected]

It cames after an update?
Did you try Factory reset?

Yes i already did,

I have never noticed that and I have all the latest updates installed on my N950N. Have you tried wiping the Cache Partition?

Hi.
I have a Samsung Note 8 with a case like @Domdominic in the previous update, after updating the new version on April 12 with CSC DTC3, the screen error is gone but my fingerprints did not work after updating. I don't know if this is a computer error or a software issue and I still don't know how to fix it.

Have you tried manually reinstalling the OS back onto your device using a computer and Odin? That is always the last resort if your device is not functioning properly. The worst case scenario is that your device is experiencing a component failure and it needs to be replaced.

You could always delete all your fingerprints and reset them. Could be that your old fingerprint settings got corrupted. As I said before reinstalling the OS is a last resort.
