I have a couple of GS3 and I've noticed that one of them has a problem with black color. It seems to interpret some of it as purple. I've been digging into all sorts of forums but found nothing about this issue. Here's what I mean:

These apps I used for these tests are Lcd Tester (by Bora SAYINER) and Display Tester (by gombosdev) both free in Google Play
So far I know for a fact that it's not the camera. This issue is noticeable in darker pictures on the phone with the issue. When I copy the pictures on my computer and on my other phone they look fine.
The problem is also visible at other times - like playing a game or even when I'm logging into an account in the "Accounts and Sync" menu in Settings.
The phone is running Android 4.0.4. It did get one update so far which didn't fix the problem. I'm guessing the 4.1.1 update is not gonna do the job either.
I'm trying to find out whether this is a software problem and if so is there a way to fix it myself rather than having to send it back and get it fixed which means a lot of waiting...

This is something new. Facebook Photo Album in Manila stopped working after Facebook upgraded their photo handling system (noticed the new white background instead of a black one on the Facebook web site). Anyways, since the upgrade photos are not loading at all. I got stock T-Mobile ROM, didn't have the need to fix the old problem with Facebook Albums, that ppl been writing about, either. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this problem, or maybe there's an official fix, like they had for Twitter few months back?
Hi! I am experiencing this problem too!
I checked for fixes on the support site but I even anything more than a kind of FAQ and links to download manuals.
Is there still a place for hot fixes and full ROM downloads?
If there still, I really don't know where!....
Finally found the solution while browsing again the forum.
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690751
It has to do with the FB settings.
I changed my settings and the pictures are now updating like they used to be.
Hurray! Problem solved.
Hey, new member here.
I recently aquired a HTC Aria, this is my first Android phone and It's great, only issue I found is with the camera, when I try to take pictures, the screen appears with a lot of noise color (pink areas), as per the pictures, is this related to the set up or is it a camera malfunction? The pictures taken have the same effect.
The pictures were taken a month ago- righ now the screen looks completely pink!
I'm using HTC Aria/ Android version 2.3.7/ Cyanogenmod-7.1.0.
I noticed this malfunction after downloading the Camera 360 app, tried to use it and suddenly this issue appeared.
Any support is appreciated.
Regards and thanks.
First I'd just try clearing application data for the "Camera" app to see if that makes any difference. If not, I'm not sure what else to try except doing a 100% clean install to see if the problem is with your current installation or actually a hardware issue. (Make a backup first so you can revert.)
I face a problem which is about the graphical rendering.
Some apps some button will appear as broken which makes me confuse.
And also when I using the browser to surf on some flash video website, it appear to have some broken rendering problem.
Just like the one you may got on computer 3D rendering.
I know the above are hard to understand, but I really don't know how to present those idea.
Sorry for that and also my bad English.
Thanks everyone who came in this post.
This shows the problem when using friendcaster.
Huh, sorry you are having issues. I have yet to see anything like this on mine.
Hope someone has an answer for you.
I'm not sure entirely what you are asking here... so I'll just ask you, what's wrong in the picture?
However, sometimes while web-browsing, certain pages won't show properly (things missing, or off page and you can't scroll to them). Often this can be fixed by changing the setting of the browser to load pages in PC format, (or tablet/phone/ipad). Sometimes just getting a different internet browser can help too.
As for apps having missing buttons - this could possibly be fixed by going into setting>manage applications>(whatever app it is)
-clear cache
-clear data
Then try opening it again. If it still doesn't work properly, uninstalling it and re-installing it might help (this worked for a friend with his phone just last night).
If you are really desperate to try everything, factory resetting your tablet might help - though you will loose all your data and it isn't garaunteed to help .
Other than that, you have to keep in mind that developers don't exactly have every device made available for them to test their apps on, and this being a honeycomb device, it already has lots of compatibility issues they have to tackle - perhaps a polite email to the developer of the app explaining your problem would result in them eventually making a fix for it. Be sure to include your version of Android (in full) and device name to help him narrow it down.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting - I sent Gameloft a very polite email over a month ago requesting their support for sony tablet s, and so far, no change (half their games are still not compatibile).
sometimes on apps that aren't 100% compatable with the screen ratio or resolution, i have to press the little square with the arrows pointed outward near the clock and press either "stretch to fill screen" or "zoom to fit screen"
i had the same button issues with speedtest.net app
Thanks everyone who reply on this issue.
Actually what I am facing is about the "triangle" broken mark appear in the picture which show up in the app "Friendcaster".
I think the app should be a pad version as there were no arrow icon.
I am wondering is this a common issue, as I found out the issue of video site is a common one as I have a try out with some display tablet in the retailer.
Epic 4G Touch stock rooted Android 2.3.6. Since the 3.7.13 update, the Google Play Store is displaying landscape app preview pics in portrait style even when I have my phone in landscape. In other words, they don't fill the screen like they should, but are displayed sideways as if I was still in portrait mode. I've been noticing this for a while now, but figured it had to do with how the dev uploaded the pic, but I confirmed today that it happens with all apps that have landscape preview pics (Angry Birds is a good example), so I believe this issue started with the latest update. I haven't been able to find any other reports of this issue. I'd appreciate hearing if others are or are not experiencing this issue to see if it is Android version and/or phone specific. Thanks!
(This is in addition to the known 4G download issue with the latest update, which I am also experiencing.)
Anyone?

Hello everyone. I just got this phone the other day after returning the galaxy s5. I am loving it but I have one issue and maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Everytime I take a picture in the camera app after tapping the check button, the camera closes and I return to the home screen. Does anyone else have this problem or is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Not normal. If the phone is stock (unrooted, etc.) I would try a factory reset (backup any personal data first) and see if the problem persists.
Only time I see a check in camera app is when sending picture via mms and it asks where I want to send [email protected],camera etc... if this is case of attaching picture directly from camera to an mms then this is a normal function, if taking a picture and it just closes then this is not normal reaction
Well it seems that the problem has resolved itself. I was just about to post a screen shot of the check mark so you guys could see it and then it just starting working as normal. Thanks for the responses and I'll post here if it comes up again.
Ok the problem returned... I showed the issue to a buddy who has the same phone and it also turned out that I was missing several options on the camera. I did a factory reset and the problem persisted.
I think I found the issue... I was using Google Now Launcher. Apparently that launcher doesn't play well with the camera. I uninstalled the launcher and voila, all the features (video, zoe, dual camera,etc) are back and the camera no longer closes after taking a pic.
Anyone else want to test this theory and see if happens?
confirmed issue and workaround
Hi there,
I can confirm that the Now launcher uses the native Google camera instead of the Zoe camera. I have also found that from the lock screen with the now launcher installed, unlocking by pulling the camera icon opens the full HTC zoe-enabled camera again. I find this super annoying as I'd like to have Google launcher and have the camera work properly. Anyone know a fix for this other than my workaround?
Ditto for T-Mobile HTC One (M7)
There's a lot I really like about the Google Launcher, but this just drives me nuts. I didn't really understand the workaround suggested here ( though I have no doubt it works). But the suggestion sounded on target. So, I went into my app list and shared it from there. It didn't do the funky stuff any more. I wonder if there's a setting to change that behavior: like someone thought, Hey, take a picture and go back to our regular programming? It's a shame because I really feel that the Google camera takes better picture.
In any case, just to let folks know that this is a real problem. The OP was on target.
To anyone else having this problem that does not use Google Now Launcher, another app that causes this is Omni Swipe. The default camera button in the tools section isn't the right camera (not sure what it's trying to access but still). If you add the correct camera app to the app section, it'll be fine.
Yes, this solved my problem as well. I went back to the default launcher and now the camera is working fine
