Hey XDA peeps
Well, by my post counts u can telll im not a active poster here but in any case, lets get started
Device i own :
S3, GT-i9300 white
Currently running stock firmware. (gave to service centre to fix an issue and they just re-flashed the rom -.- )
Issue :
At times (not always) when i turn my screen on, it flickers a purple screen (for maybe for 0.3 seconds ) before getting back to my screen.
Ive been getting thing for a long time. I thought it was nothing, but now im worried.
I had this issue on when i had my phone brand new, when i rooted, when i using roms, etc etc.
So its like once a week i would see it.
I hope im making sense here.
So im just hoping someone out there has faced this and knows what to do, or atleast someone can guide me to a solution.
Can i ask samsung whats going on? Can this mean a possible screen replacement? (would love it, my edges arnt in the best shape )

You can ask and they may well say it requires new screen and give you the cost of replacing .

I shouldn't worry about it, mine has done that occasionally on and off for as long as I've had the phone, you could try Samsung, but the problem is getting it to do it when they look at it!
Could help if you still have the original bill when visiting your local dealer. This might be a repair under warranty circumstances.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me
Good luck with your phone and please report back with any news.
Cheers

I went ahead to the sc centre. They were of no help. They said thry wanted proof of the same. And I was like " how do I present a valid proof of this? " They told me record it on a camera and show them.
So what this means is that every time im turning my screen on im supposed to have a camera on? ???
Is there any way to force it? ?

hi guys, like a week ago i lost my g1 and now im looking for a replacement... im not a noob so please dont talk to me like one
the history goes likes this, a friend of mine has a samsung vibrant and it has this glitch, the lights of the bottom buttons go on and off constantly and the phone vibrates like when someone is calling you... my question is, can it be fixed by flashing a new rom or can it be hardware related??
I have not been able to try the phone, i just saw the problem via webcam so i dont know exactly what sets the lights up or if its a random thing....
any ideas?? i want to buy the phone but i want to know if i can fix it with a rom or not
Why doesn't your friend get a warranty replacement first before you buy it second hand?

maybe he stole it from someone haha xD i dont know.... i think he bought without contract but he doesnt have a warranty and he wants the money asap....
please answer my question guys
edit: we are not like close friends, I barely know the guy... just so you know...
If it was a software issue we would all have the problem. Do not buy it.
Check the LDI under that battery, it should be white. What you are describing sounds a lot like liquid damage.
hey guys, im trying to get a vibrant and found this guy who has a mint condition vibrant but the touch sensitive buttons dont work, the screen is perfectly working but the bottom buttons wont register the touch... some time they do but most of the time they dont... there is no water damage and he says that the phone has not been dropped so, wtf happened here? any software related thing going on here?
ill buy it if there is any way to fix it, maybe some of you have experienced this issue and have an answer?? thanks and please give me some advice
I've returned 2 vibrates because of the home button being haywire. From everything I've heard also, I'd advise you not to get the phone from this guy, its a hardware malfunction.

shyt man i have the same issue on mahh vibrant....ive tryy everythinq i cann and i couldnt get it working....
Someone it depends on the rom yiu install too. I had that problem when I bought mine from a guy at craigslist.. But when I installed axura or other rom, the home button worked flawlessly. I don't totaly agree that its "hardware issue" I think its on the software "roms"

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.

i asked them they told me they changed the firmware
but i tried 4 different firmwares and all of them was the same
im sure they are telling lies
is there any way to know if my device have been opened and changed the screen ?
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.

Hello, i just bought my i9300 a few weeks ago. All seemed normal when i noticed that when i was viewing a gray screen ( e.g. a game loading ) or anything that wasnt completely black, there were some spots in my screen. I thought at first that it was some graphics or glitch from the game, but then tried loading another game with a similar gray screen and they were still there. They arent scratches or anything like that ,it seems that its from inside the digitalizer. I dont know if i can even put a photo of that, because its not easily visible. My phone obviously has its warrany voided due to some rooting. If i flash the stock firmware, unroot it and run triangleaway, do you think i would be able to swap it for a brand new?
Hey mate, I have the exact same problem I keep thinking it's my eyes or something but I guess if your seeing it as well maybe its a problem with the device?
Do you also see the screen sort of flickering at certain points?
Well documented problem with many handsets..

This is a byproduct of the screen technology. It is normal.

Sorry, parents don't give a refund on their children.
Swapping sometimes works but usually you're stuck with a worse model and can't go back due to technical issues with boyfriend 2.0

:crying: I have HTC One X+ 64gb Telus which is rooted,s-off and boot loader unlocked. I am using Elegancia 6.2.0. I don't know what happened to it. Suddenly Capacitive buttons are not working as light are working. In past it never dropped and I Nevar sit on it. I don't know why it happened. Now i am using LMT launcher from which I am not satisfied and thinking about repairing it. In my city there are no HTC service center but there is a collection point(I don't know what it is??? ) . I searched about this on Internet and found that it may be problem of Digitizer. So, My questions are:
1. By replacing LCD+Digitizer would solve this problem? If yes, then which variant should I buy SHARP or SONY version? As mine is Telus version.
2. Should I go to Collection Point in my city ?
3. Or should I take risk of doing dis-assembly of it ?
4. Or Should I buy a LCD+Digitizer from internet and do replacement by local mobile repairs?
PS: I bought it 2 months ago from ebay and it doesn't have manufacturer warranty. And sorry for my bad english

Friend getting it replaced wont be the wisest decision, I would suggest you to try some other ROMs like ASOP CM10.2 version and see if the problem persists, since the lights are working. Hope if that dosent work replacing the LDC will take some thing around Rs 8000 Indian. I don't know about the make of the Sceen, but I guess going to the collection point might just help, else if you can get it to Bhopal or some thing.
Don't risk dis-assemble it, if you are not sure what you are doing .
Well getting the LCD+Digitizer from ebay I just don't know since it hard to find the OEM version ...
Good news !!!
