Default Did your screen turn purple?

Hey guys

I have my note for around 3 weeks now. I experience the purple screen twice.

so basically out of no where, the screen will turn really purple like. but the problem is fixed after i restart the phone.

not super concern about it, but just want to know if this is a bad sign that the phone will die on me?

thanks!

Ive had this experience on my Galaxy S1 and S2 I get a quick flash of either green or red color then everything is back to normal.. happend once or twice on my Galaxy S1 for owning it for a year and maybe more than 3 times on the S2 for 3 months.
Because everyone has a different level of standards, others might be just lower than average.

It's a software bug, and i guess it'll get patched sooner or later by Samsung, but no i do not have any problems with the screen.

Yes, it happened to me too. Turned blueish when turned on but returned to original when hitting the power button. Thank god it's a software bug rather than hardware.
