Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

All I was going was texting, I went back to my home page and everything was duller and brownish tinted. I thought my backlight just dropped randomly like it sometimes does, but no. Now my phone is tinted and I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

Soft resets do nothing by the way.

Re: Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

Well I went to the market to get a screen capture program, and everytime I open the market my screen flickers really bad. I guess my display fried. Cool.

Re: Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

JohnnyOnTheSpot..I got good news and bad news...

The good news is that OLED does not have Backlighting (hence why it suppose to save energy and have true blacks)..you can probably guess what the bad news is >.>

But yeah you probably should get sprint to check that out/replace it.

Re: Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

I went to Sprint, they sent me to BB Mobile where I bought it and they swapped it out. Everyone said it was the first they've seen do that. Strange.

Re: Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

Yea I'm pretty happy about that. I like how BB handles stuff, I just don't like that they're insurance doesn't cover lost/stolen phones or I'd switch.

Re: Really weird problem...screen just went Sepia.

Personally I would have suggested a restore before taking it back.

Maybe even tried going in to camera settings and messing with the different effects seeing if it would somehow revert back.

However, I am glad that BB did you good and swapped it out for you.

Sounds like a bad app if I've ever heard it.
