My screen seems to have a weird issue. I don't know when this started, there is a faint white line that runs around the edge of the screen (about 2 mm in from the edge) it's in almost a perfect square on the screen but with rounded corners.
I can't see the white line when the screen is black or very dark, it only shows up in the lighter colour range.
This is one of those things that's really bugging me once I've noticed it. It's ruining the aesthetic of my screen!
I have alien build 3 on my phone, unlocked obviously. Is there any chance this is a software issue? I really hope I don't have to try and use my warranty (got the phone off ebay)
any help/comments/questions would be appreciated. thanks guys.
anybody? 10char
I havent noticed anything like that on my atrix, but I can relate. Recently ive noticed a 1 mm blotch of pixels that seem to be brighter than the others when viewing the screen at any angle other than 90 degrees (not stuck or dead, just seem to project all colors a bit brighter). Its being destroying my peace of mind ever since.
that seems like a hardware issue to me, possibly correlated with this error.
first, i'd try to make a backup of your phone and then attempt to flash one of the fruitcake stock ROMS, see if you still have the problem there. if it's gone, then we know it's a software issue.
also, someone correct me if i'm wrong here, but doesn't our screen illuminate itself from the edges, instead of having a backlight like LED screens? you could try adjusting your brightness settings and see if you can get a workaround going with that.

no, i haven't, but like i said you should make a backup and revert your phone back to stock everything, and see if the error is still there. if it is, we know it's hardware and not software related. and if that's the case, then it might be as easy as replacing your screen. i'm not too savvy with the hardware side of the Atrix, so i'm not too sure what it is that illuminates our screen.
sorry im terrible at this, but whats the best way to make a backup so that i keep all my apps etc...?

well, i'm guessing you have CWM installed since you have a ROM installed. i'd suggest making sure you have Romracer's CWM, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
after you install that, proceed to boot into recovery mode and create a backup. the process is (Boot into recovery > backup and restore)
after that, install the 2.3.4 Fruitcake which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
remember, before installing the fruitcake you're gonna want to wipe your data, cache, and dalvik! after you have all that installed, see if you still have the screen error and report back to us
Actually, Im on stock froyo 2.2.2 on bell... but thanks for helping me!

thank you, this is exactly the issue i'm having. except mine is very very close to the edge so it's not as noticeable.
if i bought the atrix online. do i have any warranty options? it's unlocked and got it off ebay.
the issue wasn't there initially, it seems to have developed over a few months.
I've been running the GHarmony ICS ROMs for a while, and have really been loving the 1.5 release. Super excited to try 1.6, but no matter what I do, it won't boot past the birds. (Trust me, I mean NO MATTER WHAT - I've tried everything anyone suggested anywhere that I could find, I asked anyone that would give me any suggestions. Nothing has worked.)
I'm not sure if it's some abnormality in my hardware or the changes in the ROM - I was hoping maybe to get some advice or at least commiseration here...
Is anyone else using this ROM?
If so, is anyone else having this problem?
if so if so, has anyone figured out a workaround or a fix?
I could switch to a different ROM (most others have worked with no problem) but in my experience, this is the best ICS I've used on this tablet...
I'm in the exact same boat.
I had been using flashback for the past few months and loving it. However over the last few weeks, it had gotten to a point where I felt like playing around with what is out there and decided to move to g-harmony.
After running the nvflash file and installing (which work perfectly) the most i can get is a black screen after the birds that just sits there and does nothing.
I just reinstalled flashback with no problem at all on the gtablet.
Really looking forward to using g-harmony but need help.
Can you get any version of GHarmony to work? What process did you follow to nvflash and do your install?
I was able to get earlier versions (pre-1.6) by following the raywaldo instructions first (the "nvflash for dummies" ones, but they were recommended to move to an ICS ROM), and they went on perfectly, no problems.

I have not. However, point me to 1.5 and i'll give it a shot.
I did just give 120 a shot however and got excited because the birds were flashing more than before, but same results, a black screen going nowhere.
Yeah, I'd like to know if your problem is with all of t hem, or just w/ the latest (like mine).
I can't include an external link here, so check your PM - I'll send it there.

Sorry, looks like mine is a different issue. Just puts me in an endless reboot to the birds stage. I tried nvflashing the 250 mb again. I even tried the 300mb on raywaldo and still, the same result.
And even though i didnt want to go to the drh rom, i gave it a shot to see what would happen there. Same result, just a loop through the birds and then the black screen making it look like something is loading but nothing is happening.
Went back and installed flashback again, no problems at all. Booted up perfectly the first time.
So GHarmony 1.5 just gives you the endless reboot to the birds? If so, that's what I get. The birds, then a quick flash, then back to the birds.
The 300MB version didn't help me either. Neither did any of the diagnostic techniques anyone suggested anywhere.
I did get stuck in a loop last night where I went from the birds to a black screen, after I nvflashed something. I was able to get out of it after nvflashing something different. It looked just like APX mode, except it didn't respond to commands.

So i had gotten excited. After getting flashback running, i decided to download all of the g-harmony files again and give it another go. Figured something happened with the download of the files.
Run nvflash again, wipe cache, reboot into tnt, worked great.
Fresh download of 1.6, installed no problems at all.
Power off.
Birds show up for about 2-3 seconds and then just a black screen. Not apx mode since you can tell the screen is still on, but just blackness on the screen.
So similar, but not quite the same as what I'm getting. I don't know what the problem is, It's weirdest that there's no hint of a problem anywhere. All the installs go fine, the tablet will boot before I install the ROM or after I restore it back, and I even checked all my partitions and made sure they're the same size, with no bad blocks (that I could find) or anything else that might gum things up.
I haven't seen anything else in the topic about the ROM itself that suggests others are having issues, so I don't really know what a next step should be.

UPDATE: SOLVED
Here I am again,
Story
I've been using a HTC One since April , but I keep maintaining my GS3 (I9300) that my girlfriend uses now.
I keep maintaining it because it keeps needing maintenance. I always use stable ROM's and no custom kernels or other modifications, because she just wants a normal working phone. Sadly, it's been problems after problems. First of all, after using CM10 for months starting in April, the phone just stopped working. I still don't understand what happened. It started performing worse and worse, until it wouldn't even boot up anymore. Anyway, I managed to get a stock ROM on it after sadly deleting everything of her phone. The phone at least worked again.
Recently, I decided to flash something different for her because it was such a laggy old ROM. I flashed ARHD 40 (android 4.3) since I use ARHD on my HTC One as well and it's usually very stable. The performance was way better now, her phone was as fast as my HTC One. Though she became aware of one problem quite quickly: the phone takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 minute to wake up from sleep. I even called her and it wouldn't appear because the phone was not waking up.
Now here comes the problem
Running ARHD 40 (android 4.3), I decided to flash Boeffla-Kernel 5.1beta12 (newest I could find). As far as I read, this would fix the slow/not waking up from sleep.
Now here comes the real problem
I needed to boot into recovery to flash this kernel. Since this ROM didn't have a quick boot into recovery shortcut, I decided to download ROM Toolbox Lite. First of all to see what it's about, since I recalled hearing nice things about it. And it had a boot into recovery option, so that would be easy.
I pressed the button to go into recovery.
Since then, my phone is completely stuck, constantly trying to boot into recovery but failing. You see it's trying (the 4 buttons at the bottom appearing from the recovery) and sometimes even the wallpaper shows up. But it always stops, after which it reboots and I see the logo. And this keeps repeating over and over again.
I removed the battery a few times, I tried holding down the power button a long time, to force it to just boot itself up normally again. I can enter download mode, though I have nothing there to help me. Phone is basically completely useless.
My question
Does anybody know anything about this? Is it a known problem? Is my first experience with this ROM Toolbox Lite the most horrible one ever, or does it play no role in the problem?
It was to late to start searching for solutions yesterday evening, I had to work early again today and I was so pissed I would have broken the damn plastic thing in two. So I just decided to leave it and my girlfriend is passing this day without one. But I'm really sure I want to fix the damn thing when I get home in a few hours. If possible, to just make it stable, fast and NORMAL, with no more weird problems in the future...
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards

What do you mean "can enter download mode, though I have nothing there to help me" What happens exactly when you enter download mode....Can't you just flash back to stock with odin in download mode ?

I can enter download mode normally, so I can use Odin to flash stuff.
I just flashed that kernel I wanted to flash before my phone went trippin, but after flash the same continues. Re-downloading ARHD 40 via my laptop now and going to reflash it via odin, hope that my phone can then let go of it's obsession of trying to get into recovery.
There must be a way to fix this, I didn't make a Titanium Backup for a while. Don't want to lose stuff just because I got some super rare weird problem... again. Why does tech hate me
EDIT:
Realized that I can't flash ARHD 40 because it only comes in zip not tar... anyway, tried flashing the newest version of philz touch recovery, still didn't change anything.
EDIT 2:
Flashed TWRP recovery via ODIN, now everything is fine again. It rebooted into TWRP normally, then choose to reboot the device. Everything is still there, like nothing ever happened.
THANK you lord!
Out of interest, how do you find the HTC 1 compared to the S3?

It's an entirely different phone, especially how it feels and looks. After using the One for such a long time, I find it super weird to hold a S3.. it feels so light and "cheap", though ergonomically the S3 is a tad easier to hold then the One. Overall I enjoy using the HTC One much more as it feels really solid.
Besides that it's fast and stable, what you would expect, but not much faster then a S3 with a good ROM. Screen is really excellent, this is also a big difference from the S3. It's a different type of screen and you can really notice. The speakers are the nicest you can get on a phone and compared to the S3 they are really a league above. The camera is average, sometimes it's great sometimes it isn't. Battery life is comparable to the S3.
Not that I didn't enjoy my S2 and S3 at the time, but I'm not really interested in the Galaxy line anymore at the moment. Samsung really has to do something amazing to get my attention again Will see what HTC brings with the successor of the HTC One, might upgrade to that one. I'm also curious about the iPhone 6 to be honest, the small screen is the main reason I haven't owned an iPhone in my life, if that changes I might want to try it. Or I might just use my current device for a second year for a change, since it's excellent
Many thanks for that, I now intend to take a look at the new HTC m8 - hoping the camera is better!
Me too. If they make a big leap with the camera and bring it on par with the iPhone 5S for example, it would be fantastic. Battery life should also be brought to the new higher standards of the LG G2.
If these 2 things happen they already got me, since it's a near perfect phone. Add some bonuses like making the bezels smaller/screen larger in the same body... don't think I could resist

Looks like water damage for sure.. does the screen do that at all when it is completely booted?
I have personally never seen a boot animation do that from a software standpoint..actually I take that back..I have but it has failed to boot..this while porting from and different device with different screen resolution

No. If you Odin a stock img like for instance MC3, which is the official Verizon release, it will not. You only mess with the warranty when rooting your phone.
Did you take the 4.4.2 OTA? If so then you need to use that instead. If you don't have it I can provide a link
Hi there! Long time reader, first time poster (TL;DR below...but it should be a quick read anyways )
So I've been using this S2 of mine for almost 4 years now, haven't had any trouble (other than a couple of battery swaps). For the past 6 months or so I've been using CM 12.1 nightlies without issue.
The events:
- The other day, my phone froze (I wasn't using it when it froze, it was when I went to use it that I noticed...it was on the wifi selection screen if it matters), so I held the power button to shut it down, and when I powered it back up, it just froze at the Samsung boot screen (with the usual yellow triangle).
- At this point, I was able to reboot into download mode at will, but any attempt to boot to recovery just led to the freeze at the Samsung boot screen. Also, the phone would automatically reboot itself at this point any time I inserted the battery (I was of course putting the battery in and out trying everything I could).
- I would have reflashed from Odin at this point, but since I was away for a few days I just kept trying to reboot into recovery, to no avail. On one of these attempts (power+vol up+ home) it showed the Samsung boot screen, and then immediately shut down and I haven't been able to get anything onto the screen since
I'm now home, and I can't seem to fix it. If I plug the phone into a charger, the top half or so of the phone gets warm, and it also seems to get warm if it isn't plugged in and I try to power it up. I was thinking maybe the phone was maybe doing the same thing as before and just not showing anything on screen, but I blindly do the steps to get it into download mode, and Odin doesn't recognize anything (drivers are definitely installed). I have also tried other batteries, no luck.
Any ideas of what I might try? I'm willing to do anything. For the record nothing happened to the phone at all when this all happened (no dropping or water damage or anything, just my attempts at booting into recovery). Maybe I should try a jig? I'm also open to opening the phone if there's something I can do, though I don't have experience with this.
Thanks so much for any suggestions!
TL;DR: phone froze (running CM 12.1 nightly), held power to shut it down, and then consistently froze at the boot screen on any attempts to power it on. After a few attempts at booting into recovery (the phone would only freeze or enter download mode) the screen suddenly shut off and I haven't seen anything on it since no matter what I try. I can't think of anything that happened to the phone I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks
One sentence amongst your description stands out like a 'sore thumb'.....
That the device heats up towards the top when you attempt to charge it.......
Until you try a jig I can't be certain, but that heating coupled with a dead/unresponsive screen along with a lack of recovery and/or download modes (download mode is 'hardwired' into the device, and NOTHING should be able to corrupt it) are the primary symptoms of a failed motherboard.......
That is my opinion based on my experience in these forums and personal experience with a (now dead) S2 (one of two that I own).........
Get the jig just to be sure, but I'd be surprised if it had any effect.....sorry to be typing something you don't want to read, but you said it yourself, the device is 4 years old....it's been in service roughly twice as long as most smartphones, and they don't last forever....

Thanks dude! It's nice to have some idea of what happened. I am indeed very happy my phone has lasted me this long, and my friend is gonna give me an extra S2 she has anyways it seems so it's all good!
I'll try the jig and update here with the result (I ordered one online...will arrive in January sometime)...just in case anyone is curious.

Sorry it took me a while...the jig was in the post haha. It didn't do anything at all (no response when I plugged it in) so I think it's safe to say you were bang-on and the motherboard failed! Happily using a new S2 (with CM13.0 now ) on behalf of my friend though.
Thanks again.
Sounds familiar. Happened to me also due to failed cyanogenmod update (CM13). Only thing that works is download mode, so i'm not given up hope yet.
I can't post a link but google ''Apply Update Failure samsung galaxy s II'' there's a thread about this on the cyanogenmod forum.

oh mine was just straight up dead...no download mode or anything visible on the screen (and nothing to do with CM13 either)
hope you get yours sorted out! have you tried reflashing anything via Odin while in download mode?
Its hard to tell you and hard to accept. You can almost give up the hope, your NAND Chip is just what we call " wear-out ". In the most cases no write is possible anymore, the funny part is -> sometimes read is still fine. If that is the case: The system is booting and working, but saving just nothing. The NAND is frozen to its state before it broke.
At our local store, customers come to us with issues like " Factory Reset impossible ", "Can't delete my Files" "Can't create files". All these Devices have inaccessible NAND's and inaccessible Recovery. Only Bootloader is working, but as the NAND is broken, flashing doesn't change anything.
