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.

people, has anyone of you noticed white vertical lines that appear for a fraction of a second when you power on the device? it happens right before lock screen appears... best could be seen in a dark... seems like there is a problem with screen initialization on a driver level...
Could someone check this issue?
Using Lightning ROM 1.5
Sounds like your phone is defective.

i prefer to be more optimistic due to the fact that many others reported the same problem on different forum... xda is more reliable, so I'm trying to collect the opinions here as well
Mine has this, noticed it for the first time yesterday (hadn't seen any reports of this at that time).

don't worry, I think this effect is present on every piece of 9100. more or less obvious for users... it might be not vertical lines that people see but the quick white flash

What effect does this have on any other aspect of the phone, or is it literally only that fraction of a second that there is any apparent effect?

if it is really a problem of display controller low-level driver - it might cause some serious problems as time passes... total screen failure, for instance... as i remember from past cell phones - it was the first sign of upcoming screen death...
but i think that in our case - this is just a minor driver issue in screen initialization process... at least i believe so
I have this problem with the screen as well! and it's annoying to see those vertical lines whenever I wake up the screen.
sometime i can see the lines with "CRT Screen Off" mod, but without they dont appear
Try to do a backup in CW recovery and flash a stock rom.
It can be the CRT effect or any other custom rom issue.
It would be great to know if the problem is due to your custom rom or not.
Hey, sorry to bring this up again, but I'm having the same problem, and it's really bothering me. If there's any way of fixing it, please let me know, I just uploaded the stock ICS 4.0.3 for my device, and it started to show.
mine too has this
Mine also has this issue. only visible in the dark
yeah, same here. I thought i was the only one having this

Noticed this straight away when I got my new phone and it was there before I flashed a custom anything
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
I also have this issue
One large, white vertical line. Clearly visible in all lighting conditions
However sometimes (rarely) it doesn't do it.
I have compared this to a black galaxy s2 (mines white) which doesn't suffer from this issue. It actually seems to delay the screen on / unlock time
The black loads the lockscreen at almost the exact same time as the white displays the lines.
I've been putting off returning it under warranty as I can't do without it..
Its like a jolt of power that hits the screen
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
yeah, i recently got a phone off someone, and it's been bothering me since, there's no way of fixing it? i hope it hasn't caused anyone trouble, i recently switched to iPhone to this phone and i'm absolutely loving it besides the white flash

If you mean the minute, almost "patterned" grey lines then yes. Every Galaxy S2 has theses.
But bright white, clearly visible line/s which delay the screen-on process.. No, not every Galaxy S2 has it.
Especially if they don't always appear
i don't think its an issue with the phone i had it running an old version of omega rom the latest 5.1 does'nt have that problem.
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.

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.
hello guys... i was going to buy samsung galaxy s2 phone when i heared about the yellow tint and the camera pink spot issue...
i was wondering about the severity of this issue and DOES IT APPEAR OVER TIME OR JUST FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE ??
thx every one i really need ur help
Might depend on the phone mine has a horrible green tint when you look at the phone from an angle or have it in lower brightness. My friends is perfectly fine. Id assume you will be able to notice both straight away.
There is a very long thread about this which might help you. Try searching for it.
It appears on purchase.

I have a 12w09 AAAC without any issues on the screen.
Would you please report back if your AAAC 12w11 has any problems?
Thanks!
AAAB 12w11 without any problem (using since 7 Days)
I don't even know how a phone with this problem looks...
Mine is just perfect and I have nothing to complain about the phone.
From the battery to the screen everything is perfect.
I loved my old Desired HD but I do not miss him.
12W10 with yellow spots and light leak! It gets worse over time I think...
I have 12w10 with perfect screen
Just to mention, you have to make your phone get HOT in most cases (35 celsius and more) to see the spots and light leaks! Then just pull down the notification bar and see the lower part, if there is yellow tint you will notice it!

Hi,
I bought my GT I9100 in July 2011.
It's almost a year and I discovered recently that screen burn in started appearing near the status bar. It's not something that is immediately apparent, but it can be clearly seen if the screen is filled a with dark blue light. I can make out the burnt image of clock and signal bars in the status bar.
Has anyone experienced screen burn in international Galaxy S2 and any luck in getting it fixed/replaced by Samsung. I still have a month of warranty time left.
Cheers.

i see a round circle in bottom left corner dunno if its an chip or something tough
Yes
It's pretty common. My status bar had bad screen burn in so I sent it off and it was repaired under warranty.
I can constantly see a vague 50 with a circle around it in the top right corner coming from using Sygic all day long. Bought an S III and gave my S II to my brother. He doesn't have an eye for stuff like that, so coming from a HTC touch diamond, he's extremely happy with the phone. He won't use Sygic so I guess the problem won't get worse.

I have the same, I think it's a common problem with AMOLED displays.
I installed Go Launcher Ex and it has the option to auto hide the status bar which is handy, it comes back when using some apps but it may help with the burn in issue
