i9300 Screen Problem (Washed out) every 2-3 days - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Has anyone else had this issue, this seems to happen every 2-3 days, when i wake my phone up the screen looks really bright (and washed out) the phone itself works perfectly while the screen is like this, i have tried changing the screen brightness/auto brightness/screen mode etc but it dosnt fix it, the only way is to reboot, at the moment i am on Omega V37 (ELLC) but this has been happening for approx 3 weeks now (on all different omega versions) i have tried a full wipe and load ELLC via PC odin, then install omega again but still this problem occurs, any ideas?

I have had this problem occasionally,I just mess with the brightness settings and it seems to sort itself out, feels like a glitch in the light sensor software that occurs occasionally, not a biggy for me

yeah I've had this also - completely random - I found that just locking and unlocking the phone generally resolves the issue

Thanks for your replies! Good to know im not the only one! I always run manual screen brightness, 100% during the day and about half at night, Weird thing is about 4 of my friends have the same phone and i dont think they have experienced this fault, but then i am the one who flashes alot of different roms etc, would be nice to know what causes this!

I have the same problem.
Sometimes after playing a game the screen gets also a pink shine over the screen.
Only a reboot fix it.

How often is yours doing it? Mine needs a reboot to correct, seems to do it every 2-3 days.

Solution or at least step one in the logic sequence is wipe phone and factory reset and test .
Step two is flash stock rom and test . In both cases with no added apps .
jje

Sorry for the delayed update, I'm on vacation in Mexico . Well, the damn thing cannot be used anymore, the screen works intermitently, I managed to wipe the phone to no avail, so when I get home I`ll try to flash the stock ROM for Argentina and get it to service. BTW this is my second S3 maybe next time I'll get an iPhone. This s*cks!

I saw in KA sony rom thread you also have this problem. Thanks for making this as separate thread to discuss this issue and find solution to this.
I was searching online and I found many have such problem and have all random solutions to it. like - offline charging the phone, landscape rotation toggle, headphone jack, press bottom of the phone hard etc etc but nothing worked for me
check out these links problem is discussed here but no sure shot solution.

Some work around for answering phone quickly till problem solves - there are apps to answer calls just by pressing button.

My call screen locks up very occassionally, but for some reason if you move the reject slider, hold it and slide it back without hanging up, it will come back to live. Never had a problem with lockscreen.

I still have that problem, but only when my phone is charging... Whn I touch the screen it would jst randomly touch anywhere! I used the show touches option in developer settings in ICS and everytime I touched it.. It showed the random touches too .. But all this only happens when my phone is charging. Rest of the time it works completely fine.

yes, this mean's your phone touch panel is going to die. I also have the same problem, when i connect my phone on charger touch works randomly, when i removed it comes normal. This because i remember i used a duplicate charger and also tried different data cable which is same like SONY cable. So i feel this is main reason my touch panel gone and it is now on service center .
So if you do these all, please stop doing it. And use always SONY's Charger and Data cable to save your mobile from "TOUCH PANEL ISSUE".

My phone was with them for almost a month... Later while recieving the phone I noticed my phones front panel was damaged(the lower right of the front panel had broken paint) and the display electronic strip which should be covered was left exposed.. So they kept my fone for like 2months more.. No jokes! Contacted them every alternate day.. They always had the same answer.."we have ordered the parts.. It should be dispatched in a day or two" Thn finally I got my phone back with the front panel replaced.. But the strip was still exposed! I dint want my phone to stay there a month or two more.. So I let it be how it is! IMO I chose the wrong service center... There wer also others who complaining about their service... So now my phone has the touchscreen issue and a bit of the display electronic strip exposed inside the battery cover. Gave them my phone for an issue they gave me back with two!

[Q] Quick thinking about GPS and maybe overheating fix?

Hi all,
I was driving the other day with TomTom Europe on and I know from my other android devices that driving with a GPS and screen on all the time makes the phone overheat.
So I thought turning the screen off and this actually worked the GPS kept running in the background and kept giving me navigation directions.
Without overheating the phone! This could be useful for alot of people here.
But now my question is is there some kind of app or tweak that makes the screen go on when you are entering an exit lets say about 300 metres.
So anyone know some kind of fix for this?
BTW if this is in the wrong topic please move this mods and sorry for that!
I'm using copilot and have the option "turn on screen when approaching turn". Nothing like that in tomtom?

What? Don't be an @## I am just asking you guys to check. If you're phone do behave like mine... Easy as that..
Nope you are deliberately breaking the rules .No bumping no abusive posts .
You asked no reply tough or just wait until someone bothers to do as you ask .

Hi, I tried it and I don't get waves. And I know from PC days I am quite capable of seeing flicker. I think what you are seeing looks like a video sync problem. What have you got installed? Maybe you need to check your graphics settings or perhaps Power Saving that may have altered the settings?

Video sync? Wait I see those waves by naked eyes. And did you tried it with full brightness? And no I haven't did any under clock.
Even with all stock I can see those waves
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I may be using wrong terms. In the old CRT screens it was called sync - that's what your video reminded me of.
Have you tried JJ's suggestion of Factory Reset?
Also do you have anything installed other than how the phone came? If so, list the changes you made - you will probably get more responses if people don't have to ask 'did you do/have this?' and have you say, 'no I didn't' or 'already done that' - tell us what your phone has, what you have done, what conditions etc.
e.g. CF-Root, Omega JB Rom, All Power saving options on - anything you can think of including the ROM/Kernel versions
My phone. Is totally. Stocked (just rested all phones after not getting any replay {2 hours ago}. So my phone is all stocked.

The issues definitely look lie Vsync issues, though with the quality of the video you posted it's hard to tell. If you phone is now on a true stock rom with no root or anything, then it's likely a hardware fault. Take it back to where you purchased for a warranty repair, there's nothing else that will help you here I'm afraid.

[Q] my phone i9100 turn off irself when charing!

Can anyone help me to solve my problem
i charge my phone at night but i found it turn off itself
i am using CM 10.1.3 rc2.
Backup your apps, contacts, sms/mms, call log, watsapp and perform factory reset. Afterwards do not restore the backed up apps and see if this happens again.
If it won't shut off at night, restore apps+data.
BTW, I'm currently running the RC2 without major issues.
Oh noes !!!
Clean install of stock, see if the problem persists. If it does, new battery first, change USB board/port if a new battery doesn't fix the problem. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't a 'CM problem', I've always found CM buggy as hell personally (even the 'stable' releases).

My V10 H901V20L now the sencond sreen turns off with the main screen too. Means when I turned off the main screen, the second screen went off too, and I can't do anyting with the second screen too. I have tried so many ways ( like turn OFF and ON again both in Settings > Display > Second Screen, flash many differentce roms after 4wipes) and it doesn't work.
I have searched in forum but seem like noone have a solution for this issue.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...uired-t3253752
And I have tested my proximity sensor, it works nomarly. So I can't find out what is the problems with my V10.

You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
