Hello guys,
Today while I was using Llama to config some actions my screen got red, yes... seems to be a red layer over all the screen.
It doesn't flash or blink and isn't that red border error.
I tried to reboot. While shuting down or turning on the screen is normal, the Samsung logo screens are normal. When the android stars the screen is red again.
I also tried to change screen configs on native screen config options, but had no sucess.
The attached file shows the error...
PS: what seems to be the red layer does not apply to notifications, wifi connection in the screenshot.
Does anyone have any suggestion about this?
Thanks!

Try something for me, if you could: adjust the brightness manually. Does it affect the color or how much it is colored? Does just removing Llama help or the settings are already stuck? Factory reset and / or reloading the OS is always an option, though not always the most desirable one.
Thanks for your reply.
When adjusting the brightness manually the red color follows the brightness changes.
I have removed Llama and restarted the phone, but nothing has changed.
Yes... i was thinking about factory reset, but will wait a little before that =)

Interesting info: when someone calls me the screen gets normal (no more red overlay) until the end of the call. After the call is finished everything is red again!!!
So weird lol...

Something is using this: http://www.jdepths.com/2013/01/how-to-overlay-view-over-everything-on.html
Maybe you can run a logcat and look for it there?
That's exaclty what happened!
Could you help me how to do that?
I don't know exactly how to run the log.

Or on PC if you have adb setup:
adb logcat
Then post your findings to pastebin.org for others to read it easiest.
I have uninstalled lux lite dash, which manages screen brightness,; and the problem was gone!
Thks for your help guys!

If i switch off the room lights i will see it better its a black background and has a vertical white line,, it does not last for even a sec. then the unlock screen will appear
should i get back to the suppier and ask for a another phone or its normal? it is from the ROM??

so what to do regarding this issue, it gives me headache

Is there any app which turn on the light buttons if i have call or message notification? and thanks!
Yes. Backlight notifications (BLN) Can be activated on siyah or dorimanx kernel via exTweaks. For this you'd need to be rooted and be on either one of the above two kernels.. uses the LEDs of the two capacitive buttons like the notification LED on the nexus phones.

There is an app called no LED which displays missed calls, messages etc on your screen

No, it's works when screen is off. Can use it for email sms WhatsApp missed calls etc. Very customisable too.

Yeah, but when noled app is active with a notification, screen led stays open....so it consumes more battery than touch keys i think.....

Not really. If you really knew what your phone is capable of... The LED "bulbs" which your screen is made of are turned on only if there are any colors to display.this means that when you have a wallpaper, half white half black, only the bulbs where the white color is will be turned on. The bulbs on the area of the black screen stay off and that means that having no LED indeed is more battery saving than turning on the backlights.

Not exactly. NoLED is actually a known battery sucker even on an amoled since the phone is awake all the while the notifications are on. The advantage though, as someone mentioned is its customizability.
BLN on the latest siyah can be used without wakelocks (BLNWW option in exTweaks) but you don't get the blinking/ breathing option if you activate BLNWW. On standard BLN (with wake locks) you can have breathing or blinking LED options. Also can set it so that it deactivates itself if the battery goes below a set threshold..which is why I'm assuming it didn't work for the OP.

Do they work if you use the test button. Look at the charging options too. I apologise if the "easy tick box" comments offended you.

Guys sorry to interrupt! But i see that extweaks is showing that my device isnt compatible! wth! I am on ICS 4.0.3 stock firmware with 4.1.5 Siyah kernel rooted.. How do i get extweaks??
Can anybody tell me why I'm getting this red box on my screen at random times when I'm flipping thru my home screens or in programs. Finally was able to get pic while playing a video and constantly touching the screen. Running ViperRez 1.0.3

Try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery and see if that helps. That tends to clear up most corruption.
I thought I saw something about that in the Viper thread but searching the thread for "border" or "red box" didn't come up with it, but you might try some searching in that thread.
I used to get lines on my lockscreen as well if I hadn't rebooted my phone in a while, a reboot fixed it every time.
My phone keeps (seemingly randomly) performing a very short vibration when using it. I've checked logcat but can't see anything obvious that's causing it.
I don't have haptic feedback on, no accessibility options enabled and no keyboard input vibrations. I've also turned off smart alert.
Its stock, rooted and I've frozen/removed most of the bloatware.
Any ideas?

Thanks, but it isn't on (see above).
Does anyone have any real suggestions of what's going on?
I'm wondering if there is some kind of background error vibration that occurs?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I know this is a long route to take, but uninstall all your apps, or as many as you can, and see if this still happens, I suspect an app is causing this,I had similar on S1, and I'm sure it came down to a rogue app
I've found similar (maybe connected) issue. When I receive for example the text message the screen remains turned-off, however when I touch it, it shortly vibrates once. When I turn the screen on it is still at the pattern locker. Not annoying but strange behaviour.

Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.
