After I reflashed my Samsung Galax S2 I now have a line running down the middle of the screen. This only appeared after I flashed it. I tried reflashing it a few times but the line doesn't go away. Need help.
Incredibile... Are you sure isn't hardware related question????

Already told you it's very likely a hardware problem and you should return the phone to be replaced. Just tell them the line appeared randomly and not won't go away.

that looks exactly like a complete column of dead pixels. are you sure this only happened after flashing firmware? how about going back to the original firmware that didnt have the issue and see if it disappears?
i'd exchange the unit.
hi guys i hope some one replay
my sgs2 screen got blue tint on top of my screen i tried 4 firmwares the same so i toke my phone to my local shop that i bought it from because i have 1 year warranty
so today they told me it was a firmware proplem they told that they installed another rom and now it have no blue tint on top
but i sure they are telling lies
im sure they have changed the screen cuz no way a firmware fix this
im going to take my device tomorrow from the shop is there any way to know if they have replaced the screen ? ?? ?
i want to know that cuz my warranty is replacing the device not fixing it !
so i want to know if there is any way to know if they changed the screen or not ??
thanks alot guys on advance
First thing I would do is see if the blue tint problem is fixed. I imagine you will be able to do that easily.
If there is no blue tint problem you will be happy, yes?
Not sure what your asking since your phone is being fixed under warranty for free.
Edit: ok read your post again and you want the phone replaced not fixed. Maybe you could check if the phone has the same serial number and ime??

if they changed the screen the serial number and ime will still be the same right ? ?
so any other way to see if they replaced the screen
Just call them and ask...I'm not sure why would they go all the trouble of replacing the screen and then lie about it.

what is the duration of your phone on their hand? if less than 1 day, hard to believe they can change the LCD so fast.

i noticed a dark dead line on the top of screen of Xperia Neo which appears with dark colors for images . videos , games , applications ,,,, any thing falls in this site "i mean blue , red , grey , green ,.....",,, the depth of the darkness is proportional to the depth of the viewed color "i.e it ranges from faint grey to deep black ", i guess it's an issue of LEDs or something that couldnot emit those dark colors evidenced by not appearing with white or black
i uploaded a screen shot with white colored screen and another with greyed screen with arrows pointing to the line i mean
can anyone help ,,, i hope it's a software issue ,,, my phone is still in warranty period but i am afraid of sending it to warranty in my country because i heard that they are careless and not professional ,, and axiom "the best warranty" is not avalable in my country ,,
i am facing exactly the same problem with my xperia neo
Do you use the factory rom ?

I am not sure if its a software issue or not. Seems to me like a LCD panel issue. However, you can try flashing the stock ROM and see if it helps. For flashing, you need the stock ftf file and flash tool for neo.
You can find flash tool here.

For stock ROM, go here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24113310&postcount=64
Its the global version of .62 firmware.
Once you download the firmware, its an easy job with flash tool.
thnx alot but i meant that i want to flash to 2.3.3
You will get 0 battery error if you downgrade.....

I think that is only when going down to 2.3.2, but not 100% sure.

Simply reflash that .62 fw, linked above. Then you will see.
That line looks like water damage

That is ghosting effects quite common on LCD screens flashing back stock rom won't help you with that.

Probably water damage, I left my phone near the shower, damp air might have gone inside. I sent it back to Sony, but they didn't repair anything.

I sent it to them, and they sent it back without comments. It's a waste of time to send it to them imo. It it really noticeable during normal usage? I only see the effect on a grey background.
Those pics were taken half a year ago Gingerbread with some theming

i just upgraded my phone to ICS ,, and noticed that this line is like a stamp of old screen "i.e. when it falls on dark displayed color , i can see this black line appearing as " 5:02 PM , and the signal of my operator " ,,, i mean it sounds like a screen of notifications bar is frozen and displayed in the form of this line ,,
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence
and this: http://compreviews.about.com/od/monitors/a/LCDBurnIn.htm
and pay attention to parts where they talk about treatment or correction

Ether turn off your phone for few days, or find/make white image and let it run on your phone for some time, you can set screen on for 30 minutes, so you don't need to check it so often.
For a couple of weeks,my display is acting strange, getting darker and darker. It started with a yellow line in the top right corner, who go bigger and bigger,covering the whole screen now. I found on google other persons with this "yellowish screen" issue, and it seemed to be a faulty lcd. The problem on my phone is that besides the yellowish screen,it has very dark shadows too, making everything almost imposible to use. I also noticed that after i lock the phone, the yellowish blur dissapears for half a second, like nothing happened; also, i can see "remains" of some apps that i used, like a name from my sms conversation,along with the call and attachment button,even if i closed the app, the lock ring,my keyboard,etc. I would appreciate your help,thanks!
P.S some photos attached,sorry for bad quality.
I had the same thing after my phone fall on the floor. Screen replacement will help....

Nope,sorry dude.But if you live in Romania(Like me ),I recommend you to simply buy a new screen from eBay,as it would be more expensive to go to a service center.

i am using PAC 22.1 with latest dorimanx, but is not rom related. I have this problem when the phone boots or in recovery mode.
