Guys....I have a new Battery indication at the top left and side of my phone...this is not the built in Samsung notification.....
This is bugging me, its obviously some kinda spam program related to something I installed....any ideas how to get rid of it
Screen shot attached.....the new battery indicator is the number 10 in the top left corner....the red .symbols next to it is a message app I installed ages ago.....
Maybe it's something I turned on....but can't remember doing so
Any ideas how to get this off
Cheers
Paul

i just noticed that theres a small green "shade" on the top right of my hd2 screen. I have no idea where it come from or when, but you can only notice it when the screen is turned on (not on stand-by or turned off that is) and is mostly blank.
Do you guys think that if i get the phone to ACE-Hellas (its the company that brings HTC items in greece... no idea how you call that in english ) they can replace the screen or something because of the warranty?
unfortunatelly you can barelly see it in the pic i've attached, but you can still see it. It doesnt look really bad or anything, at first you wont even realise it is there. But if you do, you cant take your eyes off it :S
I would say yes....but I'm unsure of your warranty terms - give then a ring
It even is skewed red during the Viewsonic boot screen. At first I thought it was a fancy low-power warning because it occurred last night when the battery hit 15%. But a full charge and a reboot didn't fix it. Neither did booting into the loader and resetting my battery statistics. Other than the horrible screen coloring it works just fine.
I searched the forums and found a number of people with green-hued screens but nobody complaining about red. Am I looking at RMA-ville?
Is it red-hued on every screen such as the recovery menu? If every single menu screen is that way & a factory reset or NVFlash or reflashing a new rom doesn't fix the issue, I would venture to say it's a faulty screen.
try the "Love Tap"
I remember reading this thread a couple of days ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878624&page=2
some people were apparently experiencing a blank white screen which was being caused by a loose connecter in the tablet.
Check post #20 on the thread I linked and someone even posted a picture of it.
Your issue *might* be related to this and thus I would suggest trying the "Love Tap" method.
Just hit the damn thing a couple of times near the bottom right corner and hope you get lucky.
Same issue
Had the same red hue issue with my G-Tab. At first it was just if I held it a certain way or put pressure on specific areas. It got progressively worse to where I had to hold it or put pressure on one area of the back or screen to get it to go away. Contacted Viewsonic customer support, they issued an RMA. I just got the repaired tab back today. No surprise, but it's been reflashed with Tap-n-tap. I guess that gives me an excuse to try the new release of Vegan or maybe cm7.

I just had the same problem with the red hued screen and did the "love tap" on the right hand corner and it did the trick and now I have the normal black background. What a great site!
Hi everyone!, I'm having this really odd issue with my S2. I've only had it about a week now and this could have been happening all along though I didn't notice it.
Basically If the screen is off and I hit the power button is has this really slight flicker as the screen comes on. It's almost like a single line down the screen right before the wallpaper appears. It's also right-justified on the screen and always in the same spot.
Has anyone else had this issue? It can be reproduced by simply hitting the power button to shut the screen off then hitting it again to turn it on.
Thanks!
Edit: Also the screen doesn't always fade on. 3/5 times it will just "instant-on" where I'll hit the power button and it will instantly show the lock screen tile instead of "fading" into it. Does this happen to anyone else or does it ALWAYS fade in?
I'm probably just being paranoid but I'd rather replace the phone quickly to avoid actually sending it to manufacturer.
Thanks again!
You should take a video of it so we can see if it is normal. I don't see what you describe, and not sure the phone is supposed to "fade in" to the lock screen. Mine is always instant on.
I once flashed to Litening ROM and it had that flicker (lightning style) as a feature I guess, is it the same problem OP stated?
Regards.
Saw it once two days ago, vertically on the extreme left of the screen. Haven't seen it since, but it was very rapid - blink-and-you'll-miss-it job. Can't say it worries me. On Revolution FWIW.

sorry I can't take a video since this is the only device that I own that is capable of taking video.
anyway, yeah - it's really quick. And it's vertically down the screen. I kind of assumed that it was the backlight turning on but I'm pretty certain that happens on the sides right?
Right now it's 10:00 and this issue happens right where the "1" is on the clock at the top of the screen. So starting from that 1 all the way to the bottom.
Again it's REALLY fast - but it's noticeable, I'd have no problem showing it to someone in front of me. It just looks like a single line about the same width as the "1" as well. It almost seems like the one tiny line is showing before the rest of the screen, like if the screen were a "loading process" that line would be the first thing to appear before the rest gets backlit.
Not sure if it matters but it's the model I9100M from Virgin, just incase they are made differently somehow.
This phone has no backlight. The LED's are all individually lit.

Hmm, not the same problem as me - certainly nothing to do with the time here - it was in the afternoon when it happened with me, and my lockscreen clock's in 12 hour format. Clock's also at the bottom of my screen.
Been trying to reproduce it, and can't.

No no, I wasn't saying that the clock had anything to do with it, I was just trying to describe where the line appears on screen. I was also talking about the clock that appears at the very top, not the one on the lock screen. If I just continually tap the power button on and off I can see the "line" appear every time exactly in that spot.
It's pretty noticeable, unless you have the phone away from you - so if you don't see it then it probably isn't happening.
Does anyone think I should return this and get another? I don't really want to run into issues later and have to send to manufacturer. Is this problem big enough that I could get it replaced without issue?
Thank's for the replies!
Sorry, misunderstood. Definitely not my problem, I have no clock in the status bar.
If it happens every time, I'd probably return it if I was you - could be the precursor of something more serious.
Hi again, Thanks for the replies. I realized today that the issue is really only noticeable if you're in a dark room. Even in a semi-lit room it's almost unnoticeable which is probably why I hadnt seen it thus far.
If anyone wouldn't mind flicking the lights off and taking a look I'd appreciate it. If not I'll just return it.
thanks again forum!
I experience it too (at least I think we are talking about the same thing)..it's like it's stuttering and lagging after being in standby. So the first time it renders the lockscreen, the first few frames seem to be rendered at a different pace. If you turn the screen on after a good break, it'll likely do it, but after a few times in a row it instantly shows the screen.
Perhaps it relates to how big the wallpaper for the lockscreen is. I'm not sure, but I've had some huge 2mb pictures set as wallpapers for the lockscreen, and afterwards I think I decided to select a smaller image. I don't know if it was just a placebo effect, but anyways..it still does it with my current picture. I don't really care. You could try a different lockscreen from android market and see if it helps, but I think every SII suffers from this.
I have this exact issue too and it really annoys me! I also bought the phone from Virgin if that is relevant. It's a white streak on the left of the screen for me and only happens every so often. So what's the prognosis? A software fault? Hopefully fixed in a subsequent firmware update? Or a hardware fault worth repairing?
I just picked up my S3 and the whole screen had a hazy green tint on the lock screen and was the same when I unlocked, and I wasn't gonna mess about so rebooted quick and back to normal now, and I read another thread about it but isn't clear why it happens, but I checked the battery graph and there's just a huge gap as if no power was getting through at all, so has anyone else had this happen on S3 and what's causing it?

Just had this, I put my phone into my shoulder bag, cycled for 10 minutes, picked up the phone and the entire screen was green as if the red and blue pins from a monitor cable had disconnected.
I'm also having charging difficulties, although that may be the cables.
I'm on CM9, literally just updated to the newest nightly now to see if that sorts any issues. There's something just not quite right about this phone of mine. A quick reset was all it took to sort the screen out but it was scary to think such an issue could occur.
All I know is it's something to do with a sudden dip in power and I read about other phones doing it too very occasionally, and after it happened there was a gap on the battery chart as if the phone was getting no power at all.
Sounds like the OS or at least an important process crashed or got stuck (deadlock, livelock, ...).
Green color has something to do with the rendering process and/or screen calibration. All Galaxy S1 with Voodoo patches for the display color values show a green screen for a very short instant after screen-on.
That also explains the gap in the battery stats since a non-functional OS cannot collect any informations.
Did you run any particular apps which might be causing it?
Without any details I can only recommend the standard package: flash your OS again, factory-reset it.
Maybe wiping the cache is enough. Maybe it's a hardware fault, hard to say...
I just rebooted and I've already upgraded since then, and I wasn't doing anything really at the time except I think that was around the time I used G L to SD and it broke the Play Store, but when it Hulked on me I hadn't touched phone for 40 minutes and that's what I saw when I woke it up. but most people say it's a once in a lifetime thing so not really worried.
Hello,
I recently upgraded my old HTC phone to the LG Thin Q 8, so far I like the phone (there are a ton of features I still haven't learned yet lol), but I did notice one thing that was different from all my other Smartphone....when I get a Notification, text or missed a call I don't get a little green flashing light at the top of my phone (when the screen is off) alerting me that I have a notification/text/missed call. Is there someway to turn this light on, or does this phone not have that feature?? Someone please help me figure this out!!
Also, when I was looking at the LG Model in the Sprint store you could take a Screenshot by swiping the side of your hand across the screen, how do I turn this feature on??
Thanks so much!! ?
LG G8 doesn't have LED notification light. Almost no recent phones use that anymore. Like see least the past couple of years...
HOWEVER, you can enable the Always-on display function to see notifications icons when your screen is off.
