GT-P7510 (wifi/us)
Hi, today my tab started to show some real bad screen corruption. The colors are all garbled and the text very blurry. No matter what setting on the tab, nothing makes it right.
Last week I flashed the stock UK ICS rom via the Odin method from this forum. Everything was great until today...
I do not think this problem is related to the rom, because it happend before in HC 3.2 BEFORE I even rooted the tab.
Also, the problem persists even when the tab is "off" as you can see the corrupted charging screen. Recovery and download modes also show the corruption.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? What can be done (the tab is out of warrant).
I attached photos of the tab exhibiting the problem.
Thanks for your time!
If you search the forum, you'll find that a few others had the same issue. If I remember correctly, they had to send it to Samsung, as it is a hardware issue.

Hello all.
I did do some searching before this post, but I was unable to find anything on it. So if the answer is already online some where, I apologize.
My Samsung Vibrant recently stopped auto rotating. I checked to see if my son had accidentally unchecked the option, and it was okay. I've tried unchecking, rechecking, battery pulls, clearing cache, and nothing worked.
I then backed up all my stuff, then did a factory reset. After rebooting, it worked. I restored from the backup and it was broken again.
I then went into the settings and looked at the horizontal calibration. When the screen with the little blue ball loads, the ball doesn't move as I tilt the device. So again, I did a factory reset and went back to the settings. This time the ball moved.
I'm not an android developer but I have some programming knowledge. From what I've seen, I conclude that the accelerometer is not broken, and that for some reason, something in the software is now preventing the accelerometer from being registered
My ROM is Trigger3.2-final, Froyo 2.2, KB5, voodoo lagfix, and I've been using this for a long time. So that makes me think that it was part of an app update that I've done recently. The bad part about that is I was slacking on my updates and the last time I updated, I updated 23 apps.
So, before I go through the process of uninstalling apps one by one to see if one of them is causing the conflict, I'd like to find out if anyone else is seeing this issue, and if there is any solution.
Let me know if you have any questions our need more info about the phone.
Thanks!
Reg.

I have the same problem. Running Bionix v1.3.1. Did you ever figure out what the problem was?
believe this or not I had the same problem. Once flashing any rom from stock I would get stuck in landscape mode. The problem ended up being a dirty usb port. It was "shorting" pins and thought it was plugged into a dock. Cleaned the usb port and it worked fine again.
When left idle, screen lights up and quickly goes black without showing any new notification. any idea why/how to stop it. Anyone have face this kind of problem b4? Mind to let me know what exactly happened.. very irritating.Thanks in advance

Hi... I am facing the same problem with my Galaxy SII I9100
Is there any solution for this?
If you give more Information Such as your current ROM, Modem and APPS which you are using .. it will help to find out reason for the same.
It happened to me, I think its when the phone get disconnected from the network (not the wifi).

having the same problem, ics stock 4.04 with latest siyah kernel. tried factory reset worked for a while but then it still came back.
anyone found a solution to this??
Hello all, this might be kinda strange, but I need your opinion about this issue.
I have updated my S II I9100 to the latest update found on Kies ICS 4.0.3, everything was kinda smooth had to install the update twice, but everything went just fine when the update finished in the second time.
The only problem I found is that the Log/Phone/Keypad screen is a bit different than what it is supposed to look, kindly check attachements. You will notice that the contacts button/tab at the upper right corner shouldn't be there - yes, some people might say this is good, but I just love the update to be just right. -
Also, from the Home screen, when I try opening Contacts from the 4 buttons at the bottom, it sometimes takes 2 to 3 seconds to launch and the same happens when using the tab in the Keypad screen.
I did hard reset my phone a couple of times, but nothing changed.
If the solution is to re-install the firmware, kindly advice me how to do it through Samsung Kies.
Thanks in Advance!

Your Dial Pad looks perfect, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don't like it the way it is, there are many other alternatives in Market.
Hello, i am using Samsung galaxy S3 international version yesterday my friend told me that the jelly bean update is released, so i tried updating it
and it worked fine
the model version says now 4.1.1
I am using every thing default in the phone did not change the launcher or the lock screen i had this phone for 2 weeks now
Here is my problem! every thing worked fine but when i went to my lock screen i noticed the left side of it really bright, when i go back to my home page the brightness goes away, I am using the same WP for both so it was very easy to catch on
I made then both WPs black to really see it, and it was very very obvious on the lock screen, the white was really showing, but in the homepage it is normal, you can even see it with a print screen, how weird is that? i have taken two photos one from the lock and one from the home,
Even tho the lock one is hard to see but trust me its x10 worse than that when you see it in the eye
This is the Lock screen
http: //i.imgur .com/ScyNq.png
This is the home screen
http: //i.imgur .com/BgaWy.png
it is the same WP on both
does any one have a clue what might be going on :S?
if you need any more info please tell me i will give what ever info you need
Did you try reset to factory defaults?
yes, same thing
any one knooooooooooooow??????????????????????????????????????????????
Ok, I would do the following if it is possible at all with your device:
1) flash back your old firmware
2) do reset to factory defaults again
3) check if the problem is still here
If the problem persists - something is wrong with your device. Next step is locating nearest service office.
If not - it is software problem, file a bug to Samsung and wait until they fix it.
Not really optimistic, but I don't have anything better
how can i flash back to old firmware?

Hi guys,
I have been having a very strange color banding problem with my GTab10.1 for a while now (images attached).
Here is what happened so far:
- I flashed a custom ROM after buying my GTab (ROM --> Task650) - the ROM was great and the GTab worked flawlessly.
- After the screen started to have a 'flickering / scrolling' problem (similar to this Youtube video).
- At that time, I thought it was a software problem, so I flashed a couple of ROMs (custom and stock) and another kernel (I don't remember which one was it). The problem was not solved ... I also accidentally deleted the system backup that I made before flashing my first custom ROM!!!
- After googling for a while, someone suggested that it could be because of loose connections or something. So, I opened the tablet and found the problem -> a defective LCD flat cable!
- I ordered a new LCD cable and replaced the defective one.
- The 'flickering/scrolling' screen problem disappeared... but instead, I had the 'color banding' problem!! The color banding appears from the moment I turn on my GTab (even with boot animation).
- I did a lot of search, but with no avail. I tried to flash several other ROMs, stock and custom, but none fixed my new problem!
Could this be a bad kernel / screen driver / etc? is there a way to fix this?
Any help is much appreciated

I can't see the effect you're talking about from viewing the linked screen shots - that's probably why nobody has been able to help.
It does sound like a hardware problem, though.
