[Q]Screen Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, just got a S2 2 days ago, last night i was playing on it, all of a sudden the screen went green/blue it look like it lost Red channel or the blue channel color in the screen, but i lock the screen and unlocked it and its back to normal and hasnt happened again
just wonder if this has happened to anyone before and how i should go about it
running Stock KE7
thanks

It`s a new one on me, if it happens again get it replaced.

Got that once while checking my phone after a shower. (kept it outside of the shower cabin of course). Turning off and on made it all trippy. I think it's nothing. Just a bug in the "adjust screen to what is displayed to save battery" thing.

[Q] Galaxy S2 green screen

Hi
the Samsung galaxy S2 is my second android phone(the first being HTC wildfire).I like the phone.This morning when i was browsing, the phone started getting warm,it happened to me before so i ignored it,then the entire screen,instead of displaying white i got light green colour all over it,so i panicked and did a factory reset and now everything seems fine,What might be the problem,Do i have to return it?
BTW i am stock rom updated to the latest firmware
Thanks
Alright, it have never happened to me. It might not be anything at all - Just a tiny bug - or it could be something serious.
If there is a problem with the OS, the factory reset could have helped. If it keeps doing it, it can be fixed with eg. flashing another fw.
If its a problem with the screen, you might wan to have it replaced or sent it in for repair.
See if it happens again, and then we'll take it from there, k?
I would at least try to close and open the browser again before doing a factory reset
This might help a little. (Click me)
I've had this once too. The colors changed to somewhat inverted colors. It has to do with the auto-adjusting the phone does depending on what is on the screen. It happened when I still had the original Samsung rom running on it.
If you have this again, update your phone, or flash something not stock!
Check your battery graph
Did you experience a sudden extreme peak in the graph at the point when this happened?

If it does it again take it back, but the problem is that it might only do it once every six months or something like that. If that's the case can you live with that? Hard decision but I think I would wait to see if it happens again, try installing 2.3.4 stock

I would try to run the phone a little hot to see if that was the cause. If it happens again I would return the phone.

Yes,
Stress test it, burn baby burn and see if your phone gets upset at being hot and turns into the Hulk

Yes, my battery level dropped to 10 percent from about 60 after the screen turned green.What does this mean?

It means that an abnormal process was eating your battery alive;/

dropped to 10% from 60%?
I had an issue whereby the screen turned bright red/pink when I was using the stock browser. But my battery graph showed a momentary sharp peak up, instead of a reduction.
Is your drop momentary or it just stayed at 10% from then on?
Just for the record....
I've just had a very brief momentary bright green flash. First time this has happened since I bought it 2 months ago.. Playing Spider Solitaire.
Battery graph might shows a teensy 1/2% spike.

Grey Lines When Temperature Down

This morning when I woke up
I realized there are some horizontal grey lines on my phone screen
Then I was outside jogging
I noticed the lines are gone
When I back to my room
I put my phone right under the air conditioner
After 15 minutes
When I pick up my phone
Those lines are there again..!
I bring my phone to my living room
My living room is without air conditioner
After 15 minutes I watched the lines are disappearing
I was so curious
Then I again... Put my phone under the air conditioner in my room
Those lines are back!
After this experiment
I assumed the temperature cause these grey lines on the screen
Is anyone also have the same experience?
Facts:
* even without *#0*# the lines are quite visible
*I lived in jakarta, indonesia my AC is set at 25C
*Outside my room without A I reckon about 32-35C
*stock kj2 with speedmod kernel
I'll wait if those lines keep coming back
Then have to visit samsung service center and the them about this.
Pics would be helpful ... because the early batches of SGS2 had the Yellow spots/Line issues!
i had that issue too. when i flashed MIUI rom and i could see horizontal grey lines on the white notification bar... so i did some research and its the hardware issue.. sometimes flashing a new rom goes a way but comes back randomly..
It is hardware issue
Just bring it to service center
They replace the whole screen for you

Apparently not.
Don't worry, I had the same problem. It happens when it's pretty cold outside. However the problem just dissapeared..
I had the same issue on my 26" led monitor, Galaxy S, Galaxy S II which bought in May and newer Galaxy S II which bought in November too. My room is 22C and outside is -8C.
Is this be a screen virus Its more noticeable on purple and grey colors. Android 4 uses grey colors and my CM9 looks bad.

Just had a very strange phone crash

I clicked on a link in Dolphin which opened the YouTube app. The video started loading and went full screen. Suddenly the whe screen turned different shades of Grey stripes. Then slowly the stripes started changing color to a darker Grey starting from the middle of the screen and almost morphing to edges of the screen. It looked really cool but also scary. Then the phone crashed and rebooted. I thought that this would be the end and I saw myself having to but another phone. I have never seen anything like it.
Alas, everything was fine.
I'm running Ineffabilis Deus with the Cubed kernel.
The Other Side was trying to communicate with you through your phone
The cubed kennel never works for me on any Rom except viper. I'll lose damn near 50% battery in 8hrs just sitting in my pocket. Not to mention all the other funky sh*t that happens

I had a similar crash with my original rezound, except I didn't get gray a gray screen... it turned blue like a BSOD on windows except with no text. This happened like 4 or 5 times with in a month last February, and finally after one such crash the screen never turned back on again. Verizon sent me a new Rezound and haven't had a problem like that since.

LG L7 II CM10.2 Image Retention

I noticed yesterday that it started to happen at top of the screen after using for few minutes messenger at low brightness for 5mins I turned it off for few hours it was gone when I turned it on and went to youtube for some time later came back to home screen saw at top of screen video name and part of video but it's not really noticeable. Can this be caused by cyanogenmod? becuse it never happened on stock firmware, been using cyanogenmod for a while. Today same thing happened I noticed that it happens after using something with white background
