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?
Using Lightning ROM 1.5
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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
Hello Guys,
I have just received my G-Tab and I only even start it two times, first time before applying the screen protector and the second time after applying it, I left the protector to dry all night long as per instructions and left the charger attached to the tab, in the morning it reached 98% and the protector was good to go (it is a wet screen protector).
After navigating on the stock ROM, and playing angry bird (I have the woot version), I left it a while and then next time I checked it, screen was showing very disturbing colors, I feel like there are missing colors on the screen.
I hadn't installed anything yet, didn't even used any custom ROM it is still with its original ROM.
I have tried to reset the device but the problem persist.
Navigation on the Recovery console showing correct colors but as soon as I exit it, back to its current state, showing very anoying colors even from the first screen of Viewsonic logo!!!!
Need help guys, I paid double its actual price to get it here to me in Egypt (
Even replacement is a very bad choice to me...
Very disappointing!!!!!!!!
Still waiting an answer guys?
Should I jump and open the tab and check the video cable or is it a software problem?!!
OHHHH My God!!
I was trying the “Love Tab” method described in this Post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878624&page=2
Look into post #20.
And YES, it appears that is the solution…
Oh My God, how would that be true what a QA they have at VS….
It gets back to where it was now, the faulty colors, the same time I’m writing this post, I think I will need to open it and check the cable directly (WTF, I have just received it, out of the box)..
Bye Bye ViewSonic, you have just lost a loyal customer!!
Will appreciate if someone helps me to decide to open it myself or ship it from Egypt to US and let them do it…
Fixed..
I have attached a photo of the cable as soon as I managed to remove the board a little bit, as you can see from the image the cable wasn't that loose but I see it was some kinda twisted so I straighten it a little bit and pressed hard on both side of the cable and made sure that they are correctly aligned and connected and voila, screen now is BACK..
I would say that I doubt that my tablet wasn't that new, as I felt when I was unscrewing the board, it was already open I think it was returned fixed in quick and put it back as new, Thanks VS that would be the last time I buy anything from them.....
For Reference I have used these 2 videos as a guides:

Hello.
I've been using my I9305 a while now with a 4.4 OMNIROM.
Everything was fine until I let my girlfriend borrow it to use the gps for a trip.
She returned it and I noticed the colors are strange. All the blacks went greyish, and gradient colors werent smooth but showed artifacts.
I thought it was a setting but after factory resetting/wiping everything/changing rom the phone still has strange colors, even the green boot android icon seems abit light.
Here are some screenshots showing the same pictures on my phone (the samsung) and a functional HTC. You can see the artifacts and the distorted blacks.
Code:

[img]imgur.com/sAIiDnB.jpg[/img]
Is it possible she dropped it and damaged the screen/matrix?
Is it possible that some connector to the lcd/digitizer got slightly disconnected? (maybe i should try disassambling)
She used several apps (tomtom, navigon) that have nightmode (screen altering modes), maybe its stuck or damaged.
Please help

Seems like a hardware problem to me. I would try and watch lcd replacement videos to see if the screen is correctly plugged to the motherboard.
Hey everyone!
Few months ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (international, GT-i9300) and I noticed a small issue with the display/screen.
A row of semi-transparent icons appear on the screen for as long as it's ON. I don't know if anyone else experienced this issue, to help me out, but it is annoying, wherever I go, whatever I do, those icons remain on the screen, semi-transparent.
Whenever I take a screenshot and send it to my PC, the icons do not appear on the screenshot. I would love to know what this issue is and if there is a possible way to fix it.
I would upload an example how it looks but due to my low post count I am unable to add external picture links.
Use the search facility, this has been asked before.
It's the OLED showing screen burn, like tube TV's used to. There is no cure.

Mine has started with screen burn. In theory its only 12 ish months of every day use. I hope the screens are better on the newer sammys for when my contract ends in december.
Sent from my GT-I9300
So I have an S6 edge stock nonrooted 0x0 7.0 and i sometimes have a problem that concernes me
So I leave my phone for a few hours and press home to wake and see my screen divided in 4 parts.
2 top parts are my screen but with colors mixed and fu**ed up hue and all
2 bottom parts are like a broken tv signal snow thingy both divided
I did a screenshot as a proof but after i saw that ss was normal as every else so that was hardware not software problem
Touch work but im not sure where but it works
To fix it I just lock/unlock my phone and its back to normal
Heres a quick sketch I did in PS in attachments

Last week I've got this problem too. I thought I f**cked up something with my hands when my phone was in my pocket, but after your screenshot I think I was wrong. :laugh:
The only solution was to restart the phone, but it was tricky because the touch sceeen wasn't working properly due to the 4-way sliced screen.
If anyone knows what this is, please tell us. :laugh:
