[Q] Stange display issue - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anybody has experienced this issue.
Yesterday i charged my phone up after the the battery drained. The phone booted up normally until the display dimmed slightly??? The display is now as though its in power save mode lacking the lovely vivid appearance. Greens and reds seem dull??? Any ideas. I am considering trying to reload official firmware. But before i do i would like to see if anybody else has experienced this issue.
Regards
Joe

[Q] Just read PCWorld review

Ok, so there was this review for the D3 on pcworld and I found it very weird. On stock rom, how is it remotely possible to drain your phone from 80% to 20% with "moderate" use? And he complains about a blue tint to the pictures taken by the camera. Anyone else have that issue?
When was the article written, there was an OTA update recently that fixed many issues .The blue tint camera issue was well known, but it was never that bad and the update may have fixed it.

He could have been on the stock system version (5.6.890 fixed battery issues) and yes the droid 3 has a slight blue tint with the camera, I believe moto is working on a fix.
Any new camera app will remove the blue tint. It's a problem with the camera app they included. Grab the Atrix camera from the dev section, it works fine and is much faster than stock.

My d3 drains about 10% every 3h doing nothing, and about 10%-15%/h when used.
But this is with the extended battery, i presume that with the standard one it does way worse, near the D2g that is one of the worst phones ever seen looking at the battery life.
It was an article from right when the phone is released.
I just got my phone a few hours ago and I do have a problem, if anyone in here can help me. I don't get an internet connection at all. I went into my wireless and networks > network settings and all my APN settings are grayed out so I can't check there. Anyone have any ideas?

Brightness issues

I have this weird brightness problem where I have it at 50% and it would randomly dim and brighten like crazy. I tested at 100% brightness and it also dims and brightens. Obviously, I don't have it on auto brightness but it sure acts like it.
Anyone with the same issue? Is it a defect? I just got the phone today and I'm afraid to exchange it to have the same problem again. I really like this phone. There's always a friggin issue on a new phone. It's ridiculous.

I think is a software problem. Lollipop still have lot to fix. Mines look the same. Can be a display minor isue. Not sure, but for me this phone doesn't have the best brighness at all. But I love this phone better than others for now. If you came from samsung phone, there is a big diferent in brightness. Post some screen shoot. One in a white background, and the other in a grey one. I will post the same and you tell me if something is diferent. Sorry for my grammar. Is not the best !!!!?

In Q&A is a thred call DPI Change. Try that, but reed carfully. you'll need root for that.
I appreciate your input but I don't know how the things you mentioned would help me in my case. I would need to do a video in order to see the problem instead of screen shots. Dpi change will do nothing in this case as well. You may be confused with the issue I have.
Well I try my best. As I sed could be a software problem. DPI is a resolution thing, can help a little. Also you can link a video to see exactly what you talking about. The reson I ask for the screen shoot is becaus I can probably see a differences between your brightness and mines. Hope somebody can help you on that.

Colour screen issue - phosphorite colours

Hello. Issue is the screen all of a sudden turns into very phosphorite colours. I've searched for any similar issue here in xda and have not seen anyone else with this problem..
In another forum (Spanish only) various people have reported the same issue after my post there. And in most of the cases the issue seems to show up after watching a video/movie potentially related with Netflix and/or HDR.
Rebooting solves the issue. And another person reported that after leaving the phone locked for some time the colours were back to normal...
Have note 8 for less than a month and this has happened 2 times already.
I post here as audience will be wider.
Anyone with same issue or idea?
Thx a lot

I think we're waiting on pics. Phosphorite is a rock, so I'm not sure what phosphorite colour means.
sounds some settings in the screen mode were changed. when it happens again, dont reboot just go toggle a few different setting and see if it fixes it. also, having tinted colors(phosphorous?) seems as RGB got changed under the advanced settings in the display mode settings.
I do know some apps are be able to change brightness so mybe other can change color settings? some sort of a blue light filter or 'night' mode?( tint to a warmer shade?)

Is it only when you're charging? I have my screen saver set to colour, and I'd describe those as psychedelic. But I just have to touch the screen to make it stop.
Haha. Yes phosphorite is probably not the right word... the screen turns into fluorescent colours (like in a highlighter pen). Hope this clarifies... let's see if it happens again and I take some pictures.
Thanks for the responses so far

Screen problem when low temperature

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my Huawei P20 Pro. When the temperature is low, the screen stays black with green bands flashing. Once the temperature is higher, the phone operates normally.
Do you know this problem?

Thank you in advance for any information.

interesting ... i suggest you bring it into service
I iahve the same issue with my p20 pro. Did you fix it?
I don't think this is something put in the software. It bust be faulty hardware. I'll give mine a text later today and see what happens.

i think is definitely is a hardware issue but might not be the screen, the screen is black might caused by not enough power/current when the device is kinda cold. i think it relates to either the resister or battery

Sorry I just remembered to update you on this. I was not able to replicate this issue. I have a P20 Pro model number CLT-AL00 and that issue is not present on my device.
Getting this exact same problem with my Huawei P20 Pro. Really would love to know if it's temperature related as it this problem has been more frequent going in through winter season.
I found out that the screen won't light up if the brightness is swipe to the lowest. So I Kinda solved the problem by disable Auto brightness, make sure it is not at the minimum brightness. It works for me.
Warranty should help you with your phone. Clearly it is a defective unit
Hello,
Have you managed to sent the unit to service or something? Found the problem?
I'm asking because I have the same issue on my P20 Pro and I've tried all sort of things, safe mode, factory reset, etc., with no success.
I'm also having this problem, but I have a black screen of death (EEEK) My alarms on my phone went off this morning whilst the phone was on charge, I turned them off and when I woke up again my phone won't turn on. Have tried power and volume buttons and plugging into the computer. My room was very cold this morning as was the phone, so I'm hoping it will get life again after it gets warmer! ahhhh!

I have the same issue.. I feel it's something to do with the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display requiring a certain ambient temperature to properly function. If you've ever used a simple calculator when it's cold it takes time to adjust the flow of electrons from one cell to the next because the flow of electrons is restricted. I think this is the same case but on a much more complex level where all cells are required to work in a matrix like structure. The first time it happened I panicked though. :laugh:
When I had a desire hd I used to be a ground worker for an autumn and a winter, same thing happened to me too hardware doesn't like extreme temps either way, sure a CPU / GPU can be put to either extreme but not the screen, nor the battery and probably a bunch of other components.
Strange things can happen.
When you're at room temperature does the same happen? Normal operating temperatures, same as our bodies, apple recommends this as does Google.
You'd find more on Google.
If there's a defect then sure send it in, but I have seen something similar first hand, I'd leave my phone in my jacket on the bricks (covered whilst working) and sometimes it wouldn't switch on, when back home indoors it'd be fine.
Edit: did the Google bit for you.

Thanks for descovering the issue on my phone...
I just put it on my pocket until it warms up and the problem disappeared... lol
I have the exact same problem on my p20 pro, black screen with green bands when the temp is below 22 or 23 °C, and black screen only when colder. And no solution so far...

Samsung Note 9 - Display Discoloration & Overheating

Who else are facing the same problem ?
1)Initially, when I unlock phone by pressing power button the display was changed to dim colour(mostly yellowish) and with horizontal lines displayed when the brightness is below 50%. After tried with multiple times pressing on power button the display came back to normal.
2) Next stage, it's not solved with power button. I have to keep my phone aside for some time to get back to normal display. It's been 15 to 20 min then.
3) Now, I would get normal display only in morning. Else, I need to keep my phone idle without touching for at least 4 to 5 hours. I've also changed screen power off time from 30 Sec to 10 Minutes. So that my screen wont turn off and I can keep the normal display. If I forgot to use or kept aside more than 10 min then my screen would go off and display would gone again and irritation starts with that discoloration problem..
4) If display changes to yellowish to reduce the horizontal lines problem I need to increase the brightness to 80 or 85% but this causing my phone with another problem "heating issue"
Samsung haven't responded on this issue yet, how could we bring up the issue and get the proper resolution from Samsung.
This happened after last March update installation?
What note 9 do you have?
Probably not a hardware fault if it happened after recent software update.
A number of note9 affected although samsung seems to disagree at the moment.
Hello,
I also have a problem with the display after waking up with the POWER button. There are tinted colors distorted and some stripes like dim lines and slow refreshing. Everything started after updating to Android 10. In fact, when the display lights up incorrectly, it starts to heat up from the bottom. Putting the smartphone aside for a moment or cooling down causes the display to work correctly.
Workaround? I turned on Active Display and first knock to activate it, then the display lights up correctly and then I unlock the screen and use normally. It is known that battery consumption increases. Of course mine is Exynos.
hi guys,, i remember a similar experience sometime back.. try this. if u have turn on the proximity sensor i mean the advance feature where the phone screen doesn't turn on while in pocket , switch it off and restart the phone and see if the problem still exist.
i am having same issue

whats the firmware version u are having now and phone model?
Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then back up your device and manually reinstall the OS back onto your device.
Im having the exact problem. I flash LineageOS and it worked by max brightness then back to auto. I installed brightness widget to max brightness and back to auto everytime I turn on screen.
This issue is popular after March update. I tried everythings you mentioned above, reset, flash new firmware, even April update, wipe cached, flash cooked rom, heat screen, turn off features, disable gpu overlay, etc... Samsung Vietnam guaranteed can fix with new screen but I'm out of warranty.
I dont have any issues us unlocked snapdragon xaa model on latest android 10 version.
Can we confirmed that a screen replacement fixes the display problem or is it still a software issue

No one knows what is the exact cause here, its noticed in many devices right after this March update but few are noticed months before. But, now the problem came to many users at same time. So its been brought up by many tech blogs, websites.

I'm having the exynos version too but with ITV (Italy) firmware ...never had this problem and now I'm on April's version after March's version.
This looks a little bit like what happened to the S5 years ago when after 1 and a half/ 2 and a half year's the screan began flickering, having green spots or lines, randomly didn't go on with low luminance settings since it completely died....a lot of people said on forum's that it was the screen and a replacement solves, but when it happened to me years ago the Samsung assistance center told me that it was another component (never told me what it was) causing the issue and once they changed it , they solved the problem.
So, after my experience with the S5, don't know what to think now for what is happening to some guys even if I think that this issue might depend with something happening after marchs update because for the too many people having it after the update, coincidences are not credible.

Yes, many people were facing this problem and how many times we have contacted the Samsung they are behaving like they just hearing the issue for the first time. Just created and posted the link in Members app and 67 members joined so far. Everyone having the display problem out of nowhere. All of them on out of warranty except one or two. Still members app floating with the display problem messages.
Display issue got noticed in S20 too but they immediately released the security patch and solved it. Don't know why they were silent on Note 9.
