Whats wrong with the colors of my phone? (Pictures inside for comparison) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
My colors on Samsung galaxy s2 brand new seems to be washed out. I am not sure whats wrong.
I have taken my friends phone picture and my phone picture and his colors are more darker than mine as you can see in the pic.
My colors are more washed out and grey. It is not only in the settings menu, but everywhere else as well, basically the whole screen is washed out.
Both phones are set on STANDARD mode display.
Washed out colors (pic came out a bit bad, but notice the settings menu color which is light grey compared to the one below which is black) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Correct colors:
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

wat about the display setting ,brigtness,color(standard,movie,dynamic)....and once jus remove the auto britness and manually lower the light and then set to auto if ur frnd has auto set too...

We have checked everything, all the same!

Try once flashing stock if still u feel the color prblm ,then service center.

Root, using cwm format system partition. After that flash a different stock rom using Odin. Flash gb stock or try ics too.
If this fails hardware issue in my opinion.

Constant freezing and battery loss

I have looked everywhere for an answer but have found nothing. I can use my phone just fine until it completely freezes. I am left with no option but to take the battery out and restart and come back to a low battery that went from roughly 80% to 10%. I have no clue what to do. I'm not sure if i need to wipe and format. Can anyone give me some advice? If it's a case of having to wipe, can I have details on how to do this without losing information?
Thanks
Attached is my phone system info:

i think you have the original firmware, try to install the newest firmware LSJ you can get this at sammobile.com or you can choose a custom rom which you can find here

Yeah, you're on an official rom, and since you don't know what it means, I assume you don't underclock (UC) and/or undervolt (UV)
Ever considered rooting and flashing a custom rom? Or, like stated above me, flash some other official firmware through Odin to see if the problems still excist (except someone else has another sollution).

Don't know about the ROM you are running but on 4.2 jelly bean there is a setting to keep display on while charging. Check settings, display menu. Also daydream menu under display if it is on your ROM - it would display a clock screen when plugged in.

Wipe and flash a stock rom to test, the status bar appears fine so probably not hardware.

It does happen on the status bar, just seen the problem happen a few minutes ago, it's quite erratic. I'll try flashing back to stock and update. can't take a photo of it at the moment as I don't have another camera I can use (used a friends this morning)

Go to Settings > Motion turn it on and tick Palm Swipe to capture then when you want to take a screen clip swipe the screen with the palm of your hand, then upload that image no need for a camera
Still doesn't look like a hardware issue.

putting stock back on it seems to have fixed the issue.
Shame that I really don't like the stock s3 rom at all

No one said that you had to keep stock. Flashing stock is a simple Hardware v Software test.

I realised that after I said it
So its still happening on stock ( all be it after a few days ). Any suggestions of what I should try next?

Camera - Black screen or fuzzy white lines?

I have a problem. Camera wont work. Most of the time its a black screen and other times it kinda works but i get the image below, and it takes pics like that but you cant view them. I removed apps that I have installed since I noticed this and nothing. Any ideas on this? I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what to do....?
If a factory reset from the settings menu is recommended... what exactly happens to the custom ROM and kernel? Do they need to be reinstalled or...?

Replacing the camera module doesnt work. Does the same thing. Any ideas? I doubt it since I have gotten ZERO replies. Was hoping at least ONE person on here has had this problem... guess not. Thanks anyway everyone!
I wonder if it's the kennel you're using. AJK 1.25s is pretty old, and while it is the Samsung version I can't remember if it's for the ICS version you're running; maybe AJ can pop in and reeducate me.
Anyway, a quick test would be to nandroid and flash the rom again without changing the kernel, then see if that solves your problem.
One other thing, don't factory reset from the settings menu, always do these things from the custom recovery.

I just flashed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day without flashing a kernel before I changed the camera module... same result. Thanks for the tip on factory reset.

Intermittent black and white lines on screen

Hey guys.....
A friend of mine gave a Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) , but I have to fix it before use it... what's going on it.... Well... If I turn it on, it shows some intermittent black and white lines on the screen, as you can see

but, when I enter in Odin mode, the screen is ok
So, I assumed there is no hardware issue in this mobile.... so, i thought it could be just a ROM error or something alike.... so, I downloaded KIES and Odin ((3.07, 3.09 and 3.10)).... I started on Odin.... I tried to flash the stock ROM on it, but I went to the error missing PIT partition.... after I read what is a PIT partition, I downloaded only the PIT file and tried to flash it alone and together with the MD5 ROM file..... So, NO.... nothing worked....
So, I went into the KIES and tried to used the all 3 options on Tools Menu .... the first one, doesn't work ((or I don't know what to do...))... the second one works.... asks for the serial number and start the progress bar and everything. But, when it reaches 70% just stops and says there is an error
.. and the third one doesn't help... at all....
So guys this is it what I already done so far in here and this is what I know what it could be done.... any thoughts or ideas to help me here?
I'm using a windows 8.1 x64....
Thanks very much for any help and assistance here =D
I'm reading something about MSKIP Toolkit and Heimdal.... any of these works in my case?
I'm reading this thread too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 - but my phone does not reboot.... so, i'm stuck on step 3....
and in here - https://www.androidpit.de/forum/545386/there-is-no-pit-partition-and-re-partition-operation-failed - these guys are facing the same issue as mine....
So, no further ideas to do.... any in your side?
Cheers =D
any thoughts or ideas guys??
