Hello there,
I have a problem that may look wired for some but it actually happend to my galaxy s2. I had a stock jeally bean, then I installed a jelly synap rom. I noticed that the display from the sides got smaller than before in the jeally bean. I came back to jeally bean but in vain. The display is not as big as it was. I tried every possible way; installing stock rom and stock recovery but they all failed. So PLEASE I need help.
Well that is weird. But you have now a smaller screen is the resolution also different or you cant see parts of the screen now?. I think your display has some problems then if you have it like that. Can you try this code in dialer on stock *#0*# can you post some pictures? Looks me like a hardware fault

Thanks for your reply. I think the problem has to do with the software not hardware as the display was good before installing the new rom. Also, When I tried the rom on another phone, the same happened. The display gets smaller from the sides of the phone. Regarding the code, I tried it and every thing seems good. The problem is in the sides of the phone.I can't post a picture until I get 10 posts.
I attached the picture.Please take a look at it and see if it is normal or the screen is smaller (from the sides) than usual.

This seems normal to me...
Looks also normal to me but i cant see much difference if you have the stripes. Could you make on in a brighter light cause those screens from these days can be pretty black.
Download this white background in the attachment and open it. Then take something to measure the distance between the screen and the end of your phone left to right.
It should be something like4mm maybe a bit smaller so say 3-4. Could you measure that? If it is also 3-4 mm then it is good

thanks for your reply.I can't see your attachment but I could manage measure the display and find it 5.6 CM. I'm talking about the display width from left to right, the lighted area. Is this normal? if it is, then i'm going to have an eye test
wiaitng for your reply!

people, has anyone of you noticed white vertical lines that appear for a fraction of a second when you power on the device? it happens right before lock screen appears... best could be seen in a dark... seems like there is a problem with screen initialization on a driver level...
Could someone check this issue?

Sounds like your phone is defective.

i prefer to be more optimistic due to the fact that many others reported the same problem on different forum... xda is more reliable, so I'm trying to collect the opinions here as well
Mine has this, noticed it for the first time yesterday (hadn't seen any reports of this at that time).

don't worry, I think this effect is present on every piece of 9100. more or less obvious for users... it might be not vertical lines that people see but the quick white flash

What effect does this have on any other aspect of the phone, or is it literally only that fraction of a second that there is any apparent effect?

if it is really a problem of display controller low-level driver - it might cause some serious problems as time passes... total screen failure, for instance... as i remember from past cell phones - it was the first sign of upcoming screen death...
but i think that in our case - this is just a minor driver issue in screen initialization process... at least i believe so
I have this problem with the screen as well! and it's annoying to see those vertical lines whenever I wake up the screen.
sometime i can see the lines with "CRT Screen Off" mod, but without they dont appear
Try to do a backup in CW recovery and flash a stock rom.
It can be the CRT effect or any other custom rom issue.
It would be great to know if the problem is due to your custom rom or not.
Hey, sorry to bring this up again, but I'm having the same problem, and it's really bothering me. If there's any way of fixing it, please let me know, I just uploaded the stock ICS 4.0.3 for my device, and it started to show.
mine too has this
Mine also has this issue. only visible in the dark
yeah, same here. I thought i was the only one having this

Noticed this straight away when I got my new phone and it was there before I flashed a custom anything
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
I also have this issue
One large, white vertical line. Clearly visible in all lighting conditions
However sometimes (rarely) it doesn't do it.
I have compared this to a black galaxy s2 (mines white) which doesn't suffer from this issue. It actually seems to delay the screen on / unlock time
The black loads the lockscreen at almost the exact same time as the white displays the lines.
I've been putting off returning it under warranty as I can't do without it..
Its like a jolt of power that hits the screen
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
yeah, i recently got a phone off someone, and it's been bothering me since, there's no way of fixing it? i hope it hasn't caused anyone trouble, i recently switched to iPhone to this phone and i'm absolutely loving it besides the white flash

If you mean the minute, almost "patterned" grey lines then yes. Every Galaxy S2 has theses.
But bright white, clearly visible line/s which delay the screen-on process.. No, not every Galaxy S2 has it.
Especially if they don't always appear
i don't think its an issue with the phone i had it running an old version of omega rom the latest 5.1 does'nt have that problem.
Just upgraded my SGS2 to the official ICS rom and for the most part I'm happy with the changes, my biggest gripe however is the dock screen (The screen that comes up when placed in the official dock).
In the GB version the dock screen would appear with the time and and any shortcuts you added, then after ~2 mins it would fade out to just the time on the screen in yellow which would slowly move around (I'm guessing to prevent burn-in/dead pixels).
Now in ICS the dock screen appears the same as GB, but after the ~2 mins only the shortcuts disappear - The background still stays along with the time and doesn't move.
This only concerns me as I have the dock on my and my wife's bedside tables and with the new screen it remains VERY bright compared at night (So for now I've just been turning my screen off).
Does anyone know how I can get the old dock back?
Bonus points if you know of a way to get the old dock back + be able to change the text colour of the 'faded' clock to an even darker colour.
I can't help you, but I also upgraded my S2 to the official ICS and my Dock Screen won't even work! It just stays on the standard home screen, when I put it into the dock. Does anyone have any tips on this?
Guys i would recommend to use a custom rom based on the lpq release,because they are far better then the original one.

I've tried several custom ROMs and didn't like them, so I've rooted and customised the official LPQ to my liking. The only thing left to fix is the clock...

Hi American-Baron,
The LPQ version of the dock clock activates after 5 minutes and goes to a built in wallpaper (The blueish one). If you go to settings and pick a different wallpaper you'll see when it activates after 5 minutes as it'll go back to the blueish wallpaper.
Now onto my question for others...
I decided that I'd try and modify the package myself. I'm having success with that (Mostly) but after de-compiling the package there's a lot of references to night and nightmode. Does anyone know if there's a secret option or way to get it into nightmode as it seems odd that it'd have references to nightmode in it's code but no option for nightmode?
*My mostly comment is due to the fact that I can change the colour of the text but it remains the same across both initial mode as well as standby mode so whilst I can have a good colour when in my dock at night, I can't read it if I use that option during the day...But I am still working on it and will post it here once I get things working better

Are you using a genuine Samsung dock? If not maybe there's something different between yours and a genuine.

hey guys,
i installed omega rom v12 ics, and amongst many things (radio included), it comes with two clocks, one is 308.3k, and the other is 8.5M.
The first one when activated, you touch the screen, and it dims, and the other one, when you connect to the dock, loads automatically, and is FAB.
i'm a bit noob, i know once i saw the whole name for both apk's, but i was trying to look for them now to tell you the names, but couldn't locate.

I was very excited by the Smart Stay feature of SGSIII but after a few days, experience, my opinion is that it does not work. I set the timeout to 15 sec. The eye flashes in the notification bar but most of the time screen is turned off. I tried staring directly at the front camera. Tried various positions too but no result. And all this is done in a normal lit room. Then I tried removing my specs and then it seems to work. Since I can't do much without them, so no fixed observation. Can anybody help?

Any particular setting? Or particular angle at which you keep your phone? Mine for sure does not work. The eye flashes but then the screen is also turned off.
I have the same issue too. Does anyone know the issue and how to overcome it? Thanks
I get mixed results with it. It works under ideal conditions but I had to extend the dim period to use it in everyday use.
The icon appears to show that the phone is checking for a face and not confirming it saw one. I see it flash even when looking from an angle where I'm definitely out of the camera frame.

Me and a friend we bought s3 and both of us having an issue with smart stay !It works after you open the device for the 15-30 minutes and after that nothing,after the eye appears the screen goes off!We are not wearing glasses!!So any idea what cause that?A possible bug of it?Or any future update will fix it?
you guys running on XXfl2 or whatever it is?
smart stay works really well for me, never has an issue, even at acute angles
It never works for me.
Then again... I'm way to ugly for my phone to stay with me.
Smartphone's R getting to smart I guess.
Works great for me too...
Samsung already stated they are working on improving the feature as it is not yet capable of handling some light conditions, and most glasses.
Sent from my DROIDX
Works fine for me with glasses, as long as the phone's front camera is pointing right at me.
The flashing eye means its searching for a face; the only indication that it has recognised you is that the screen doesn't turn off.
Same issue!
Yup, facing the same problem. Keep staring at the screen for hours for the damn thing to work. But it just wont. I have tried with my glasses off. Got the same result. The eye appears on the screen twice. The first time it dims the screen, the second time it shuts it off. I have tried different angles, but have finally resigned to my fate, unless XDA/Sammy figure it out!
not working for me 2
I am not wearing any glasses but it simply dont wok tried to change the angels but no luck ... hope it need improvement. This was the main reason to purchase the s3 but....
Mine works quite well, feels like its abit of a battery drain though.

It needs to be a nice distance from your face to pick up your eyes, light is an issue too.
Its a nice feature that has some obvious issues on a 1.X MP camera.

Samsung patented this feature so i guess the app dev is in a bit of danger unless he is not really rich.
Other apps wont be as good either, as smart stay was made with this hardware in mind (namely the camera). Others will have to bend and shape to fit multiple cameras, making detection algorithms not as strong.

I try not to be too anal, but the brown screen, particularly when in Lock screen with a black wallpaper, and when in some apps, like Astro, is getting to me
I am in my 14 day period, and my friend Macky, who is a pro like a lot of you,said, no that is not normal. Take it back
Do you agree with him on the screenshot attached
Thank You

You do know that when you take a screenshot to show us faulty hardware it actually looks fine for us because our hardware isn't faulty.
You need to take a pic of your screen.
Although what's up with the 'smudging' in the bottom right hand corner of the screenshot?

I am not sure what you mean. whether u are looking at it o n your phone or puter, the quality of the picture, in this case, sound etc....is only as good as the source. so that confuses me.
moving on, yes that is what i mean the corner and the whole right side The lock screen And in Astro
What I mean is that if your screen is **** I can't see it if you post a screenshot.
I don't know what the problem with the smudging is, if I were you I'd exchange it .

If you turn off the ripple effect in the lock screen settings it should fix that. At least for the lock screen.

I did turn off the lock screen. And I can't see it. Bit only to the degree that that screen is not there. If I could see that screen with no lock then I would know
But attached is another screenshot (no other phone or camera. I am sorry)

Looking at the image linked in your post, I'm with Mopral on this one - seems like a skin/theme issue. Its using the Fade from left to right effect (similar to that on Windows XP).

I didn't mean to turn off the lock screen, just the ripple effect. When ripple effect is on it distorts the screen especially on dark wallpaper.

Now we are getting somewhere. I appreciate all of your patience
So I found the ripple effect, turned it off. And waaa laa.
Maybe about 98% and there may be hardware or software differences as to why screens may ne different color in different areas
But the last problem.
Astro. It still is like that. I dont think It is skin. It is on the right side even more obvious but mainly when transferring files
Any continued help or flat out declaring it is definitely not a problem is appreciated. I know a few of you have posted a few times and given a lot of your time
But I would like the reassurance it one of the pros on xda
Dont get me wrong I dont want to exchange it. But dont want any flaws

I have a problem with my gtab. the screen is kind of flockering. Not the problem with the screen flicker when the tab is low on ram, which was solved with the latest kernel. It is some kind of ... grainy effect. I notized first when I read a Pdf file where the background was black and the letters white. The letters were a little bit moving, as if the pixel were not constant. then I notized it is the same in the taskbar when on landscape, but not on portrait. the numbers of the time were grainy. furthermore the letters of the Apps in the Appdrawer, grainy but only in landscape, not portrait.
How can I solve this problem?

If with grainy you mean that you can see the pixels, that is normal as or device doesn't come with the highest resolution. If it is really moving, that would be odd and is not something I see. Did you check whether it is also present on stock ROM?

Nothing as of yet.
Tablet can be switched on but lies somewhere around
Now I am on a KK Rom - Omni.
Not suprisingly, the flicker is still there...
push?
Any help?
It looks you have a faulty digitizer and/or screen. Since you tried almost every ROM you can safely rule out a software problem (you did test this with a stock ROM as well, right?). So I'm guessing it's hardware related.

Itsa me again...
My tablet seems to be fine again :good:
What did I do?
Two things:
1)
I left the screen on with power plugged in. Nothing else
I do not know if this did the trick.
2)
I overclocked the tab to 1.4 GHz, activated WiFi Bluetooth, max. brightness and ran a stability test with graphics.
I then wrapped the tablet into a blanket (heat generation).
After 15 minutes I heard the battery (it was charged only to 15 % before)
And it was quite hot.
After cooling the tablet down i read a few PDF and no flicker...
Now I have two tablets, one Asus and one Samsung
Any comment on that procedure?
Unfortunately it is back again.
I burned the tablet again, but nothing. Didnt work this time.
Do you have any suggestions how to fix this?
