[Q] My Screen just turned blue! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I'm sorry if this problem has already been posted/solved/noted here, but I was unable to find any solution to this so posting it here.
I'm using my Galaxy S2 for the past couple of months and it worked perfectly till now. Today after coming from office, I plugged in the charger and left the phone alone for 15-20 mins. After I came back, I noticed that the screen was totally BLUE! Blue as in bright peacock blue, and not a tint or a smudge or a part of the screen which was blue, but the entire screen was blue! On looking closely at the screen, I noticed that underneath all the bluishness, the original wallpaper and apps were still visible. I tried clicking on a couple of apps and they appeared to be working fine underneath. I shut the phone down normally and reinserted the battery and it is fine since then. No blue screen or anything.
I am using Cognition ROM 1.5.1 for the past month. Any other Cognition user who faced the same problem?
Please let me know. Thanks!

Mine turned green (no and not colour blind) the other day. rebooted and fine since. No themes installed.
Nothing to so with overscroll, which is blue? Or any themes?

mine turned orange a week ago, I rebooted and it was fine.

a month ago my screen went yellow. I just turned it on and after a few seconds the screen went yellow. The same thing happend today when I turned it on, after a few seconds or so it went blue/violet. After i touched the screen the color disappeared. What is the problem?

Lol, this thread looks like a Skittles commercial, any more colours ?

Ok... so we have blue, green, yellow and orange yet. No reds?

On a serious note, I'm not using overscroll or any themes. Any of your guys using anything apart from the custom ROM?

i'm on stock rom..so i think it has nothing to do with rom.

No colour but today while my phone was in its dock as it is every day at work, I touched the front button and the screen lit up in full brightness and up side down? Lock screen and home screen. Took it off the mitac dock and it switched back. The one and only time I have seen this.

[Q]Screen Problem

Hi guys, just got a S2 2 days ago, last night i was playing on it, all of a sudden the screen went green/blue it look like it lost Red channel or the blue channel color in the screen, but i lock the screen and unlocked it and its back to normal and hasnt happened again
just wonder if this has happened to anyone before and how i should go about it
running Stock KE7
thanks
It`s a new one on me, if it happens again get it replaced.
Got that once while checking my phone after a shower. (kept it outside of the shower cabin of course). Turning off and on made it all trippy. I think it's nothing. Just a bug in the "adjust screen to what is displayed to save battery" thing.

You sure it's not just the Voodoo color settings that are messed up?
If not.. your screen might have gone bye-bye. :c

Yellow tint issue 'fix'

Hello all,
This evening I was playing on my SXS until the yellow tint started to annoy me. I started pressing the screen on the visible areas and noticed that they are fading away. I kept pressing the screen and now the yellow tint is gone in all areas. I even asked other other people and they said the tint is gone. Now let's wait and see if it will return.
P.S. Don't press too hard or you'll break your screen

When I tried this originally it soon came back. Pressing the screen will not solve issue!
This solution has been already posted by someone here.
It goes away & then it comes back...
Thanks for the replys. I didn't see the solution here. I'll keep repeating the procedure a couple of times and see what happens.

Just a question (off topic), I remember a guy named XeqtR from the team -GFE- who plays Crysis (a long time ago). Wonder if that's you.
Regarding the other post, I guess it was deleted by an Admin
pressing didn't help. my tint eventually became permanent and pressing didn't take it away anymore.
Try and figure out a better solution.
I'm not that XeqtR . Until now there is no tint. I'll keep updating the thread. I know it's a long shot but there is nothing else I could do...

The tint came back... The screen hasn't been on more than 2 hours since and it is the same. I'll try to get it replaced...

The only fix is replacement and confirmed by Sony itself, I'm on my second brand new phone and happy now
just emailed sony about mine, is the full screen yellow or just the corners?

Just had a very strange phone crash

I clicked on a link in Dolphin which opened the YouTube app. The video started loading and went full screen. Suddenly the whe screen turned different shades of Grey stripes. Then slowly the stripes started changing color to a darker Grey starting from the middle of the screen and almost morphing to edges of the screen. It looked really cool but also scary. Then the phone crashed and rebooted. I thought that this would be the end and I saw myself having to but another phone. I have never seen anything like it.
Alas, everything was fine.
I'm running Ineffabilis Deus with the Cubed kernel.
The Other Side was trying to communicate with you through your phone
The cubed kennel never works for me on any Rom except viper. I'll lose damn near 50% battery in 8hrs just sitting in my pocket. Not to mention all the other funky sh*t that happens

I had a similar crash with my original rezound, except I didn't get gray a gray screen... it turned blue like a BSOD on windows except with no text. This happened like 4 or 5 times with in a month last February, and finally after one such crash the screen never turned back on again. Verizon sent me a new Rezound and haven't had a problem like that since.

WTF??? Screen burn in??

I was trying out a compass app on my LGV10. The app has white lettering, etc and a black back ground. The phone needed to be charged so I just plugged it in and set it down. I didn't pick it up again till the morning. I killed the app and then noticed very lightly I could still see the image. You you can see a very,very faint image of the compass app. I tried turning it off for a couple hrs but it is still there.
I"ve never heard of LCD screen burn in; but there it is.
Anyone dealt with this before??

yes, with time the screen get "ghost images" but they dissapear if you turn off the screen for 5/10 minuts. Mine is getting that kind of "ghost images" from apps i opened and mine is on the sides they get a yellowish tint in both sides and some in the top of screen, nothing to be scared of...isnt burn in...but overheating of the screen.
Use BLUE LIGHT FILTER app (on play store has icon with a phone with blue screen) and set "filter opacity 15%" and "screen dimmer 50%" on color BLACK. I read that in 3d v10 of my model (h962) and ghost images never happen again with min o max brightness in every use.

Reply; thanks for the info guys.
Day 2 and I cannot see the latent image from the compass app anymore.
Not exploring the woods or anything, but I need to install a TV antenna on the house and have to aim it dead on 115* from true north.
That you cannot truly ascertain without a compass. From standing in my yard, what seemed like true north to me was actually NNE.

Wow that worked. Thank you. The trick seems to be to use black color. Been trying with red filters but did not work. I only need to set black filter to 5% only and all ghosting is gone. This keeps brightness high. I had some pretty horrible yellow permanent ghosting on edges of screen that appeared very fast. Now not at all.

I will have to try this. I cracked my screen on my V10 and picked up a bootloop one on eBay that still had a perfect screen. Did the swap of my motherboard to the new screen housing. All went fine except I noticed excessive ghosting on the bootlooped display.

Please report back if it works for you too.
I used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.hardyinfinity.bluelightfilter.free
All my screen needs is a black filter set to 3% (might even less, have not tried lower) opacity and I never see the heavy yellow ghosting that came after minutes on edges and top of screen before in the same places. As a result my whole display is now cooler and cleaner most of the time because the ghosting was pretty severe when the phone was used for a while.
