So check this out! I was listening to a voicemail on speakerphone and suddenly the entire screen turned bright green! I figured it was a glitch and did a factory reset but it's still this funky green color. Thoughts??? No, I did not drop the phone or get it wet - and never have dropped it. Sudden circuit board fry or what? It was on the charger in my car?20180111_195333.jpg

Goodness🤢lol. I can't say what would cause that but I would recommend getting it replaced if possible.

I know right!! I cannot believe I happen to see the exact moment it flipped out. Tried everything, including the factory reset... Everything is still bright green. Oddest thing I've ever seen in a cellphone. PS- new one on the way already under warranty of course.

Lol yeah. I've never seen that before. I've heard of red and maybe a blue tint. Sorry that happened. Glad you got another one coming tho:)

Jewels will get a kick out of this... "...and St. Patrick's Day is still so far off!" Hmmm...

I only said that after reading that you had a new one on the way - it looks to me like the OLED Driver Board has lost it's mind or something like that. One of the chips that tells the screen what colors to display... or I guess the display itself even. Remember the Windows "Blue Screen of Death"? :-(
