[Q] Weird Red bar at boot screen(s) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys,
When I boot my SIII I get this weird red bar on the left upper corner of my screen, it's vertically placed. Is this common? And is it removable? I also encounter this when my battery is dead and when i plug it into the wall it gives me the battery with the same bar at the left upper corner.
Im running ARHD 25.0 XXEMC3 with Perseus Kernel

I think it's from rooting your phone

that's because you might have a custom rom or custom recovery or may be both!

That happens because like what the others said you have rooted your phone and your bootloader has been modified. If you want that red "!" to be removed every reboot you can just flash this old XXBLFB bootloader on cwm recovery or any custom recovery you have installed.

Yellowish color on the left side of the screen

I have a Galaxy S2 (I9100) . Whe i bought it its was running Android 2.3.5 and the screen was perfect. Then i did the ICS update using Kies and yellowish tint appeared on the left side of the screen. The weird part is that it only appears when i reboot the phone and disappear when i lock and unlock the screen. (it will appear on the next reboot).
I thought it was a Software problem... so i installed:
CM9 Nightlies -> same problem
CM9.1 ->same problem
CM10 Nightlies and still the same problem.
I am using the stock CM10 kernel with the latest nightly....
Any solutions ??? it is annoying to see a yellowish tint at reboot and make it disappear by locking and locking....
Thank you

My S2 Screen gets inversed color sometimes

Sometimes, my phone gets inversed (black -> white, white -> black and the same with other colors). Is there anybody get this problem too?
I saw that some HD2 users get this problem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942403) but no solution yet. It gets normal back after a reboot but then it comes again. I have met this problem 3 times for 3 months since the day I got this phone.
Is there anyone know what happpens? Screenshot shows a normal screen.

What kernel are you running? I need more information about your device to be able to help.

If you are using a custom ROM or custom Kernel it could be mDNle toggle.....
Does it happen if you press the home button quickly 4 times? Mine does this as I am running the Siyah Kernel and it has this option.
Try pressing the home button repeatedly quickly and test.
If you're using a stock ROM and Kernel then I'm not too sure, could be a screen problem or just a simple glitch that a reflash or factory reset could fix.

[Q] Non-rooted Nexus 10 in bootloop!

As the title says, I was using my N10 quite a bit yesterday but just before I went to bed I noticed a strange icon (?) in the notification bar that I couldn't get rid of... kind of a white spot/circle fading out towards the edge... Anyway I turned off the Nexus using the power key and choosing shutdown. It was then stuck on the Nexus "X" screen loading for ages >10 minutes! Occasionally it partially loaded my lock screen but not for long enough for me to unlock it or anything, and then reverted back to the loading "X" screen. Anyway the only way I could "fix" it was to go into boot recovery and choose "data wipe/factory reset".
Its working now but I am slightly frustrated that I have lost all the photo's and downloads I saved onto it (I know I should have had a backup but I wasn't modding it or anything).
My questions are, has this happened to anyone else with stock rom and unroot and any idea what the icon was in the notification bar? Also, should I return it for a replacement?
Much appreciado!

Too much saturation on screen

Hi I replacement my screen on my galaxy S2 I9100 however when I switched it on a bit of red on places such as when u drag the task bar at the top of the screen to bottom of the screen the background has a bit of red with the black background. Also I noticed that when I switched my phone off and let it charge then it shows the battery icon the contrast isn't good such as the battery icon isn't transparent enough and it suppose to look.
So Im wondering that it must be something to do with the values/setting in the graphic drivers is there anyway which I change them so i can get it looking properly. Also I tired using different custom ROM currently using Resurrection Remix 3.1.2 but same thing.
Any help ?

[Q] [Sola] Ghost images when booting and in CWM

Hi, I have an xperia sola with ultimate rom v10 and experimental kernel v7. I just noticed this issue so I don't know if it's related to them or not.
I don't know quite how to describe it but I'll try. When my phone is booting (the sony logo) and when I'm in CWM, I see the ghost image of my phone's homescreen on top right and left. It's a silhouette of the time, the battery percentage and the notification icon. The image always changes to the last state when I experience it (for ex. if the time was 17.12 before I shut down, the silhouette says 17.12 too).
There is no ghost image whatsoever after the device boots though. I've carefully checked it only occurs when booting and when in CWM. Is this an issue or I'm just making a fuss over nothing?
Hi dnilbia,
I noticed your problem on my Sola with stock not rooted 2.3.7 GB! I can see the time and avast antivirus logo on the right and leftt top off the screen (where notification bar is),when my phone is booting or is charging powered off!Moreover on the left and right bottom of the screen there is a blurry small black "triagnle" (the edges of the screen).
Well seems like a problem of old lcd screens with lcd persistence image but maybe it is caused from moisture and low temperatures!Well mine disappeared some days ago,boot per boot it was disappearing a little bit til it was gone.I left it in dry environment and avoided using YT cause screen is always on!
Hope it is nothing
