Another weird tracfone problem

blankette · ‎03-12-2010

Boy, we are not having good luck lately as we have in the past with these phones. Just returned one and now the replacement is on the blink. I can not get any color in the display, it is very odd looking as if a filter is on it, I go to phone display settings and have not found anything under that category that will fix this, any ideas of where else on the phone I could make an adjustment.

Did they send you a junky reconditioned phone as a replacement? That's what they did to me after I returned a brand new smart phone that they couldn't figure out how to unlock. If I'd known, I'd have taken it to somewhere locally. I just blew another $100.and bought a new one.

Hi, @blankette, I had a similar problem and then I discovered I had not removed the dark, protective covering from the screen. I hope your problem can be resolved that easily. Let me know.

Go to Settings, Display & change your Brightness

I have already done that repeatedly...It still has no color and looks like an xray.

Thanks big sis...gee I wish it were something simple like that, I am looking at it and do not see any covering I can get my finger nail under, seems to be off.

UPDATE: Well, it got resolved and the color is on now. It was not under the settings that control the display. It was another category and he is asleep now and I can not recall what it was, started with an A. We had to uncheck inversion, as soon as I can i will get the name of the correct category. It was something weird. Thanks all.
