[Q] screen changing colors - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok, for some reason when I have my keyboard open, the color of my screen is normal. but when I close the keyboard (switching to full touch), the color goes back to normal.
now, when I say the color changes, I really mean the contrast. A yellowish tint appears on my phone
my Epic just started doing this. would anyone know why it's doing this? and is there a fix for it?

you probably need to proof read your post but i would say that if the color is changing at all and has a tint on it.. maybe the ribbon or whatever connection connects to the screen is loose and changes when you adjust the keyboard--likely has to be fixed at the repair shop.
unless you downloaded some sort of weird app... but i dont think so

well, I did break one of my sliders stoppers, but I don't think that has anything to do with it
blah! I'm about to go get the GS2

[Q] Is my Evo Display going bad?

I have noticed that every now and then when I turn on the display, the colors are off. The blues look purple and the the other colors look faded and washed out. The screen also looks pixelated. I can turn the display off for a couple of seconds when this happens and then turn it back on and it is normal again. Do you think the display is going out or is this something that can be caused from the setcpu or juicedefender that are running in the background?

Have you been using chain fire 3d if not man then ya id say your screen is spanked. You can get that fixed at sprint tho.

I've noticed that my colors have been acting goofy since I turned on Swype after installing the stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread update on the 20th. It's fine until the keyboard pops up, then everything has sort of a blue tint. Seems like the Swype keyboard is bleeding out onto the rest of the screen or something.
While you're probably isn't exact, it makes me wonder if there's maybe a bug in there that's causing similar problems with you?

OneX EU Version vertical dark line on the middle of screen

OneX EU Version vertical dark line on the middle of screen.
For me, I think it is related to LCD signal quality, maybe panel problem or screen cable problem. Anyway, it should be a HW problem.
The dark line is about 1 or 2 lines. It is okay with white screen, but has problem with light blue, yellow, green and light red pictures. It is not a constant problem. I can get the line removed by changing color with flashlight app. Sometimes, the dark is disappeared when you change screen colors in the app. Then it will come again at sometime.
Reboot, no help.
Anyone encountered such problem?
does sound like hardware, can you take a picture?
Attached pictures, you can see the line on blue screen and yellow screen. But nothing with white screen.
you could try safe mode (i think you have to hold volume down when restarting the device, until you feel it vibrate a few times), and then a factory reset if safe mode doesn't help, if it still persists, i'd go for replacement/repair
does look like hardware, although strange it doesn't show on white screen, but then again a dead pixel wouldn't show on a black screen, so can't rule out hardware
Many thanks for your advice. Since there is no such issue reported on the net, I just shared findings here. Maybe I will try factory reset later when I get backup ready.

Have tried factory reset, no help.
I also can see this issue even on boot screen. So it is related to HW. But also I can make it fix sometimes with some screen fake out conditions. (by "color flashlight" tool).

It is faulty, simple as that unfortunately.

Very light blue vertical line going down screen

Maybe I have an issue with my phone, maybe all Zenfones are like this? I can see a light blue line (1/8" maybe) going down the screen, but it only shows up on certain colors (Like a very faded lollipop blue color)
Does anyone else have this, or do I have a defective phone? I've reached out to ASUS via e-mail and still waiting for a reply. This is defintely hardware based per my testings, and again, you almost cannot see it with a complete white background...Only certain colors show the line...I'll try to grab of photo when I'm home...

Text turn green when scroll or move

Hello,
I have one issue with this mobile. Every time I am scrolling black text on white background or white text on black background I see green ghost or green auras around the text. It’s quite annoying. Its help when I change color temperature to more red, pink or blue, but it’s not very satisfactorily solution. So, my question is: Is that normal for that kind of display or something goes wrong? Could next update of firmware help?
Thanks for any answers and sorry for my English.
I do not see this behaviour on my phone... could it be a HW issue? Or something to do with the display resolution settings? I have left all display settings at their defaults.
My problem with display was solved by new update B130, but I have one more but smaller - I think that my touchscreen is not that sensitive it should be. Sometimes there no response on tap.

Looks like a hardware issue. Your phone must be still under warranty so you can take advantage of that.

Image/Picture browser in TWRP?

Is there any way to view images/pictures in TWRP? I know there's File browser, but I would like to be able to open and view a test image from my storage so I can test my display and see if there's a hardware or maybe a factory reset might fix my display issues. All the colors are suddenly dull/washed out and turning off blue filter seems to make them even more washed out, I checked the Red Green and Blue from *#0*# and Red looks more like orange, Green looks very bright and Blue looks more like indigo. I'm not really sure what happened, I haven't changed anything on my phone, it just suddenly happened while I was using it and noticed all the colors are suddenly washed out. Also I seem to have black crush/gradient banding issues now too.
TWRP would be an easy way to check if it's a software problem or my display is screwed.
Thanks!
