Galaxy S screen problem fault

I am having the same problem. Vodafone Australia stock.

The screen has lost its clarity.

Actually, it appears as though every 2nd horizontal line has been lost - this is quite evident when you scroll through a list that has dividing lines (Eg. Scroll through settings - the separator lines alternate visibly as you scroll).

I've had the i9000 for just under 4 weeks and this fault occurred without any reason (not dropped, no water damage, not exposed to heat, etc). The phone was fine one minute and then the next, it became blurry.

The colours all look flat, the background is no longer crisp black, it is light black/grey as if the LCD that had its brightness settings turned up too high.

Also, tried upgrading Android to 2.2 (from 2.1) and that didn't help. This fault appears to be a hardware fault - you can see the loss of resolution when the Galaxy S logo appears when you first turn the phone on (before Android boots). Look at any curved text/lines and you will see that it appears with jagged lines.

Don't waste your time doing the factory reset, upgrades, etc... It is a hardware fault. I spent a bit of time running the screen through the LCD tests " *#*#0*#*#* " and downloading DPI checkers, etc.. The LCD test shows the solid Red, Green and Blue are ok, as was the dimming test.

The image looks grainy as if it was displayed in the wrong or low resolution. It looks like an old school CRT screen at VGA resolution - almost pixelated.

I have installed the Aries bootloader and the small font text displayed also looks grainy and very hard to read.

Have a look at the two images I've attached.

Real shame, I was starting to get attached to this phone.

Don't waste your time. If you got warranty, you are going to get a new Screen or perhaps a new phone. Go for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
Did you changed kernel? which kernel are you on?

I had a similar experience (not so bad) when trying some kernel with sharpness and color fixes.

You could try flashing hardcore's speedmod k13c Kernel, it also has some sharpness and color fixes but his work very good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carmelo3:
i don't have thi problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cheerpipe:
I have the same problem, just purchased a i9000 four days ago, and it fail after 30 minutes of use :(.

It si very strange, because if i zoom a image, it will also enlarge the banding gradients (like if the image was low quality)

THe problem only appears wirh dark colors, strong colores dont have any problems.

Hi, I'm an old Imate JAMin user and I'm thinking about shifting to a newer device. I need a good WiFi connection, a touchscreen and decent battery timing. Can someone tell me how X10 mini pro compares to HTC Tattoo, I am being offered either at the same price. Which would you pick?

I know about Tattoo's QVGA display but do you think its worse than having a slider phone (I had to change my N80's slider strip thrice so I don't know if sliders are a good idea)

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help :)

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hooda_mask:
I Think

Sony Ericsson x10 mini pro

its will be better
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I too am sick of fixing ribbon cables on slider phones.. so I wouldn't go for the mini pro (as this has a slider, sure to fail) the mini (E10i) on the other hand has no moving parts.. I think the Tatoo only has a 530MHZ CPU (the mini and mini pro are 600MHZ)

the mini and pro boot loader is locked down by sony ericsson.. so if you are really into hacking and modding I would go for the Tatoo (however we can do a lot of cool mods without a hacked boot loader)

Personal taste.. but I think the mini/pro is higher spec in just about every area than the Tatoo.. and designed much better. another option might be the X8 (a bit cheaper, slightly bigger higher res screen, lower MP camera but otherwise the same as mini and Pro) and seems to be heaps of DEV support on here too.

Good luck with your choice.. and if you go for a mini or a mini Pro we are always here to help out.

Enough said.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:
I had both firs htc Tattoo and now mini and mini pro.

Performance: pretty much the same.In both cases Qualcomm processor (mini 600mhz,tatoo(530mhz)

Display: tattoo has biger one but display on xperia is better(24-bit 16.777.216 colors) and camera too

Physical keyboard huge advantage

Look: well its up to you, but my vote in general goes to xperia

Is it possible to have different states of the status bar, eg. lockscreen - 100% transparent, homescreen - 50% transparent, in app - black.

Thanks for any help.

Are you thinking of the i#&@%* status bar?

Android you can only do it one way for all 3 "states".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane9b3:
No I was thinking of how the MIUI Rom has different status bars in different areas. The lockscreen doesn't have the time either, but after you unlock it the time shows back up.

Hey people

Using Oxygen 2.0 RC7

Recovery Amon Ra

Phone HTC Desire PVT4 S-ON

I've had some trouble with my SD card I think.

I always sync my songs from spotify for the offline mode. And after a couple of hours i try to enter gallery but my phone freezes, when I press the ON button I see my buttons interact, but the screen is black? It's laggy as hell, ive tried everything. I wiped everything, reflashed and then it worked. But after 2 hours of using the phone it started to hang again..

Sooo i downloaded Rom manager and tried the filepermission thing, that runs a test. And now I'm running the phone without any problems. But I think that I will have a problem by tonight..

Do you guys know the problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xziaz:
Unrooted the phone... everything was normal, but when I started using things that are on the SD card it goes black. And I have to pull the battery... this never happened before rooting...

Tried another sd card now, hope it doesnt happen. The other I used maybe was broken or something? Only had it for 2-3 months.. my phone

Here's my problem before it becomes a chew toy,, Im currently running CYANOGENMOD-6.1.2,,I dont know if this is what you have to deal with when rooted,, ill set my phone down through the night and when i get ready to start my day i have to reboot everytime just to use it! ITS GETTING ANNOYING!!:mad::mad:,, The internet wont work, The market wont load and if im lucky i might be able to download an app,, Some of my widgets say "problem loading" I have to trash them and reload,, Some apps tend to force close,, And also the delay after turn on the screen is bout 2sec or so..:confused:

Anybody out there experiencing the same issue? Help enjoy my phone again PLEASE HELP ME OUT! :)

Thanks Guys,

Sorry guys i just realized I posted in the wrong area! CRAP!!
[EVO 4G General] Adam1422:
Hope this helps...

I would say to do a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, data, and reset to factory setting) and reflash the rom & kernel combo of your choice. Also update your radios to the latest and then update your profile under menu\settings\system updates. This should get the phone up and running better and stop the need for constant reboots. As for the widgets saying "problem loading", I get that as well and I think it is due to moving the widgets in question to your sd card. If you put them back on the internal memory of the phone that shouldnt happen anymore. If you are worried about taking up to much internal memory with widgets just set up the aps2sd and you will be able to put more of your apps on the partioned portion of your sd card and save more internal memory. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps. I would like to save your EVO and not make it a chew toy for anyone!
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
I agree with adam, try a complete wipe, even flash calkulin's format all.zip (search for it) and flash the latest radios and re flash cyanogen. You'd be amazed at what horrors can come from not wiping the dalvik and cache. Speaking of which, try out amon ra recovery if you already haven't.

Sent from my hand.
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
I agree with Adam1422. It sounds like you need to do a full wipe and clean install. Do not use Titanium/Launcher/ADW/anyotherprogram backups. Save files like pictures, music, documents off your SD and format the card. Do not reuse settings or data from programs. Go into it like you just bought the phone. That will probably clear up all of your issues.

[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
Not if you do your due diligence, read up on how to do it and then perform the steps carefully without rushing. We were all n00bs once, my friend. Sure there's some tension when rooting for the first time, but there's one hell of a rush when it works. You'll be fine.

[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
you are in the right forum to fix your phone...

it is not the phone.. but I agree with others.. you need a fresh setup done.

or even try a different ROM...

the hard part has been done for you.. ROOTing...

you need to go learn about the ROM you like... and how to install it.

learn about: wipe, recovery, nandroid backup, ROM, ...

this needs to be learned anyways for your life with EVO, because you wanted it rooted.

ps.. to fix this.. you are going to loose all your data and put your phone almost back to stock form. dont worry.. contacts and calendar should be backed up to google if you told evo to do so.
[EVO 4G General] ImEVO:
Where can i direction to do the procedure?? whats the first step??
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
here is a good place to start reading:

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html

I would like for you to try a new ROM... that is Sense ... so that you are able to use it more to what the EVO was.

this ROM is stable and has everything working:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471

once you have done one Flashing of a ROM.. and working..

you can easily do others as you find interest in them.

more side reading for afterwards:

there is the rooting procedure that I used:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

since you are already rooted.. this not needed.

but you should read the first page.. for your knowledge

[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Definitely make sure before you go flashing ROMs and stuff you do a nandroid backup.

Step-by-step instructions for how to do this, plus flash ROMs and stuff, can be found here:

http://htcevorooting.x10.mx/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Ask your friend what method he used to root your phone, plus check which recovery manager you're using (reboot your phone into recovery, it should say which manager it is. If you're still running CyanogenMod there should be an option to do this if you choose reboot instead of shutdown when holding the power button.)
[Hero CDMA General] wpghtc:
Good day!

I have been using roms from xda for 2 phones now, and love them. My only issue has been reception. Is there a simple way to extract my original radio and put it into a new rom? That would solve all of my issues.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] andythegreenguy:
What radio are you referring to? If you search for the band number on the forums, you might find a flashable zip that you can flash from recovery. Also, refer to the hero wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Hero_CDMA.png, you might find info there.
[Hero CDMA General] wpghtc:
My Canadian carrier must use a different radio than the ones included with the new Roms. I am hoping to extract that and put it into my aosp rom.

My reception is terrible with the new rom.
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
Ummm flashing a new rom does not change the radio.

[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
Hi All.

I have had some free time so i thought i would try something i have never done. While browsing a while ago i saw some bios boot animations, so i thought i would kick off with one i made for are vegas. If i get the time i will make some more. They are easy to make, just a bit time consuming making all the .pngs for the animation (there are around 75) Feel free to edit my animations, all i ask is that you post them in this thread if you want to share them. If you plan to add it to a rom please only edit the rom info and leave my details in. "Boot By Original_Ganjaman" and credit my work.

Edit: Added New vega Boot Animation

Installation:

1 - Download the Boot Animation, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card.

2 - Copy the bootanimation.zip to Data/local on your device (i use root explorer)

3 - Restart your Device and enjoy the new boot animation:)

To revert to normal boot screen just delete bootanimation.zip from Data/local.

[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
For the advent logo only. I dont think it is possible to change the booting part.
[Vega Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
The new 1.09 update has a small android picture instead of the booting text, that usually appears, and the bootloader size seems to have changed too, so I think that it is possible, but we don't know how...

Probably part of the bootloader, so not going to touch that.

[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
No problem using this in your rom. Just as i said in my first post, if you have edited any .pngs please only post in this thread. Using a unmodified one is fine. (changing FPS etc is fine) I just dont want modified versions of my work being posted else where. What is the small change you have made?

Edited First post to clear up some sharing issues.
[Vega Themes and Apps] BeeGee_Tokyo:
As discussed, I changed my modification, it shows now the original author of the animation.

On the published ROM I use the first 2 of the attached examples.

On my own tablet I show instead the owner information, as shown in the last 2 attached examples.

only my files get to big :S

i got a nice boot order only the bootanimation file gets around 15 mb and is to big to use

any one got some ideas ?

here some examples :
[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
How have you been creating the .pngs? I have been using photoshop cs4 and the image size is nothing like that. Even at 1024x600.
[Vega Themes and Apps] just_nos:
i use photoshop cs3 and cs5 for the editing i think its the problem the gradient in my image i will try it out without gradient / effects

( png are a pain in the ass when it comes to filesize :) )

im a front end developer en i work every day with images and websites

but this image is just way too big :P

im gonna try another solution and when its fine i will post the psd here voor everybody to make there own custom..

i found the solution it was de radial gradient... without it my images are 36kb. i wil post it when im done

Hi All,

Pop over to Modaco where "Wobblydoggy" has posted the honeycomb boot animation. Read the whole thread and then choose the second version.

Worked well for me, as Wobbly said a little grainy, but I like it a lot :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
Its grainy because it is made for a smaller resolution device. Resizing the images just does not cut it. I used a smaller resolution on the bios animation trying to give it a authentic look. But thats just naff.

[HD2 General] Roushdii:
in your opinion which is better

to still on wm 6.5 and try another rom

or to update it to wp 7

or to try Android

??????????????
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Or you can do dualboot wp7 and android like I'm doing. Hopefully soon we will be able to triboot all 3.

It depends on what you want. They are all great OS's. But to run either android or wp7 on your HD2 it will take a lot of reading to learn how to do it and set them up good, because they are ports, so they won't necessarily work great right away. You'll want to set them up good so they don't drain your battery too quick and work around any little issues that may pop up. You should do some reading about both those os's and about how to boot them on your phone, then decide what you want to do. If you're not very experienced with your phone, you should probably just start out with flashing a custom rom and go from there. A step at a time until you're comfortable enough to install magldr and flash android or wp7. You can try them all out and see what you like best. All the info you need is in these forums.
[HD2 General] Roushdii:
