Display freaking out any idea why? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My s3's display has been freaking out over the past few days, hard to get a good photo of it but here is the issue

I'm running CM 10.1 nightlies
Anyone have any suggestions?
Edit, I've flashed back to a previous of CM that I wasn't having any issues with and its still happening.

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.
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !

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?

Pretty much self explanatory
Camera was working yesterday
Today its not :'(
I had this a few days back - turns out i'd been using the phone in 'torch' mode, and it had turned itself off after a while, but obviously didn't release the led function back to the camera.
When I cycled the torch back on and off again it was fine. I imagine rebooting would do the same thing?
Hope that helps a little!
yes, just reboot the phone and it will work again, had the same thing
have tried multiple reboots and even taken the battery out! not too sure what im supposed to do....may just reflash the original rom again to see if it makes a difference

just a question, but had you changed the lcd density before the camera failed? if so, did you adjust it below 182?
nope, lowest i set it to was 210, but that screenshot was taken at the norm 240
ok its happened again!!! i flashed the latest update and rebooted and it was fine, camera app loaded up fine...once i installed a theme it was saying the same message!!!! is this a hardware fault? i can hear the camera clicking every time it switches on
Just flashed the original firmware back onto it, the o2 one and its saying the same thing.....is this a hardware fault?
***************EDIT******************************
So i did a factory reset and the camera really is working now
anybody have a clue why this is happening? its slightly annoying....going to debrand and root to see if i can locate the problem...

[Q] GS2 AOKP root problems

Hi all,
I have a gs2 with AOKP rom and Dorimanx 9.15 kernel. However, it has been unstable with a range of problems that I would never have imagined:
1. Random hanging/freezing
2. Does not wake up from sleep
3. Battery bar drops down 30% (or more) after reboot
4. Internal SD card repeatedly "unmounted" (how is that possible? :S)
5. Poor battery life (maybe 2 hrs of screen life if I'm lucky)
6. more I cant name off the top of my head X_X
Any ideas/suggestions from anyone?

Try a stock firmware ICS/JB from www.sammobile.com pertained to ur region by flashing the same thro ODIN, and then see for a day or two whether ur phone has the same issue as in AOKP, just to rule out any hardware issue

Hi thanks for your input. After trying stock gs2 it was fine. So it wasn't the hardware problem.
However, I did find that it was the dashclock widget with the facebook extension that liked to screw things up for me. So removing that has fixed everything. Don't know how that can possibly have an impact on my system but no more weird stuff

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...?
Running Shostock 2.5.6 And AJ 1.25s
And if this is not the place to post this... please tell me where? Thanks everyone!

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.

Wifi won't turn on on stock or custom roms.

Hi, we've got the old S2 out a drawer to lend to someone, it's not been used for 6+ months but worked fine then, the wifi no longer works, it thinks about turning on for about 10 seconds then switches back to off. I've tried a factory reset, I've tried CM12.1, tried going back to a different stock rom, still nothing at all, all does the same. Done lots of googling and people say to enter *#*#526#*#* to see what the wifi test says but that code doesn't work for me on 4.1.2, just get a sorry this number is not available.
Any ideas, be good to get it working.
Thanks.
Mine did this too, try taking the SIM card out. In the end I've completely wiped it and am now running CM12 nightly and it's being used by one of my lads as a gaming thing, and it works well for that (on WiFi) now I've sorted the partition sizes.

Camera produces glitched green pictures after flashing Nitrogen OS

Hey everyone, having quite a big problem on my Redmi 5 Plus, I flashed Nitrogen OS just today and now noticed that my camera seems to be glitched:

}
I am running the latest available version of OrangeFox Recovery and NitrogenOS. I use the camera app quite a while and this is a huge issue for me. I tried cleaning the cache on the camera app like some posts suggested, it didn't work.
Is there any solution to this? Or should I flash the stock rom back?
Thank you for your time
Image doesn't load
I just noticed that the image is not loading, at least for me
welp, the images the camera produces are as follows:
3/4 of the image is green, the top right corner is the only one with a visible image, I would post but I can't since this account is new

I'm having the same issue but on HavockOS and the workarounds aren't working.
Already disabled the camera2api with "persist.camera.eis.enable=0" and "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0" and there is no change.
But to me it's happening only on Whatsapp camera (didn't have any other app to test) while it is working on the default camera.
If anyone got any suggestions please put it here.
Thanks!
