Lately my phone began to show toxic colours, sometimes the whole screen has a green or a pink layer above the image or even a decreased resolution. After I turn off\on the display everything returns to normal or the display doesn't turn on at all.
I've been using a Bi-Winning V2 Rom on the OverStock 2.4.1 kernel for a month or so and didn't have any problems until now. This problem started while my phone was turned on, it didn't fall and no changes were made to it.
I tried to wipe cache\factory reset, flashed once again the same Rom but nothing changed. The phone can work normally for some time and then the display just doesn't turn on or displays a strange colours. I don't even know if the problem is in hardware or software.
Any suggestions?
hardware.

When I turn on my phone it goes to the virgin mobile start up screen then to the android screen for awhile then the screen goes black. The screen is back lit and the hardware button lights are on.
My phone is rooted using gingerbreak 2.0 I am using link2sd and I am running the stock rom.
I was installed some apps and the installation was hung up so I canceled and retried it a few times it still didn't work so I gave up. Then I was looking at app on the market and tried downloading one to my phone and it also got hung up then I did a manual reboot and my phone started getting stuck at the black screen.
If at all possible I would like to save my settings and apps which are on my phone.
Updates
I am able to boot into custom recovery.
restore the back up that u made before the phone started hanging...
Lets hope a noob has made a backup, anytime you flash do a nand backup. If your talking about the blackscreen bug, there is recent development with fserves v15 and goldenleaf kernels and there is also zacks Venice.v3.4 that fixes the BS lag. I'm using zacks to test and battery life is great

Hey guys, I have a weird problem with my SGS2. A few days after I flashed Lite'ning Rom v6.1, my phone's display went haywire. I cannot switch the display on, but the phone is working i.e. backlight notification works, vibration works.
I can boot the phone and hear the bootup sounds and everything, just that the screen is off.
In the rare event that it manages to switch on, the display's off color (colors not as rich, black is slightly off etc)
I've tried reflashing the rom, as well as flashing the stock sgs2 rom/kernel and Sensation Rom, but I still get the same problem.
Can anyone help me out here?
Your screen is probably bust, go exchange it if you have warranty.
Hi, anybody have this issue? Whenever I scroll down the screen while reading page or just scrolling a menu, the down side of the screen turns a light blue due to it running out of space. it gets really annoying while reading and seeing the blue haze come out so often. Its also happened when scrolling to the right/left.
i think the issue come out after installing wave launcher
is it a malfunctioning phone or is this normal?
Thanks!
It's a feature of gb 2.3.5

This is normal. The 2.3.5 rom that I flashed added this, instead of the old bounce effect of 2.3.3. Your phone isn't malfunctioning
Hello,
the following problem appears when i try to unlock the phone after some hours: i can see my home screen, but the screen stays extremely dim. When i try to start an app (e.g. browser) the screen turns black. I can unlock it again, but the screen stays dim. after some unlocking the screen becomes normal (normal brightness) and also the apps are startable.
i am using autobrightness, the stock firmware, 4.1.1 (i9300xxdlih) power saver is not turned on.
thx, i hope you can help me solving this problem

i updated mobile phone to android versiopn 4.1.2. this morning. Unfortunately the problem still appears.
Maybe its a hardware defect?
Try to disable somehow light sensor and change settings to non auto brightness.

i disabled auto brightness and set the brightness to the highest level. But its still same: very dim and after a while a black screen; after a few times of unlocking, the display works normally
I have just seen the same issue on a friend's S3.
Anyone else? I feel like this is a very big issue that is still lurking in a lot of devices.
I tried it myself and I toggled the power button to turn the screen on and off.
It doesn't take long but sometimes when the screen turns back on, it's super dim and you can faintly see the lockscreen image.
You have to cycle the screen several more times to get it to the 'correct' brightness, and no it is NOT a brightness setting.
It's some hardware issue in the phone.
Sorry for the necrobump, but I only found this thread. I have this problem too since about a week back. It makes my phone useless at times. I first thought it was a software issue. I have an app (called Twilight) for dimming the screen more than normal settings and also toning it, for nightime use, and I thought that was the culprit first, but nope. I have flashed rom, recovery, wiped all caches I can think of. Still happens, just now I was in the middle of installing android revolution hd, and the screen ultradimmed on me so I can't finish the process
Thing is, a few months ago I managed to crack my screen by way of gravity and concrete. I let the samsung brand service centre in Stockholm repair it for me (it is out of warranty) and this issue with the dimming never happened before that. Then again, it didn't happen directly afterwards either... but still. So, I am thinking: either me dropping it caused more damages and this is because of that. Or the service center did a bad install of the new screen. Or, the replacement screen that was installed has a defect in itself. I am leaning a bit towards the third explanation... maybe different batches of screens?
Does anyone have any ideas? If I am to contact the service center and complain about their work I would like to be able to point towards a "known problem"...

Take it back, if it didn't happen before then the new screen is most likely.
It isn't a common problem
I was on my phone using xprivacy and blocking Facebook permissions when I noticed my entire screen was this weird grey colour even the status bar it was all one colour the text hadn't changed though just the background, there were dots of red/ purple on it as well, then the screen just started getting whiter and brighter and lots of lines going across the screen appeared, I tried pushing any of the buttons but nothing happened so I pulled the battery and then rebooted the phone and everything appears fine. If anyone can tell my why this happened, if it'll happen again and if there is anything I can do about it I'll be very grateful
Thanks in advance
PS sorry if this has already been asked I don't have access to a PC for the next few days so I couldn't search

You're not the only one experiencing this.It used to happen on my s2 once in a while and i had to reboot it by taking out the battery.It happens on my nexus 4 as well,except that it reboots itself.I think its related to custom ROM/kernel being installed.Just a software glitch.

OK thanks do you know what could've caused this? (I mean obviously apart from custom ROM/kernel being installed anything you do on the phone or is it just random)
None of the root apps I had installed on the s2 are on the nexus4..nothing in particular.not that I remember of.
