I recently bought a like new mint note 5 and it works flawlessly... the problem is when you interact with the display an image stays behind in the background behind whatever you're using. For instance when I open settings it should be an all white background.. but its not. anyway to fix this issue (and yes I've tried flashing stock software via odin)

I just bought my Note used and found out theres a big problem with screen black and grays.
I've done some search and found that black clipping issue : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559800
But I think my problem is not that or its much worse. I'll attach a photo of my Note with that same gamma test pic as in the above topic.
When I bought the phone it had stock ICS installed. I installed first GB and then paranoidandroid JB That's when I noticed the probem. (Not earlier, because JB backgrounds show the problem better.)
I tried everything in settings but nothing helped. The oddest thing was when I one time opened the lockscreen, suddenly the screen was normal. I was happy with that but later the screen went bad again and nothing seems to help. I've tried different kernels and different roms (stock ics&gb, custom ics and jb).
It is so bad that no way i can watch photos or videos with my Note
Is there anything I can do?
just unroot back to stock n then take it to the Samsung ppl
Dear note users,
Recently I encountered the second discoloration of colors on my screen, for example the center of the chrome icon and everything blue turns purple, this problem occurs in the entire os. I have also made a screenshot and after the phone magically restored the colors; it turned the screen off, because I wasn't using the phone and when I turned it back on the colors on the screen were back to normal; and the colors on the screenshot were also normal. So apparently the os sees the colors properly....
So what do you think is this a hardware failure (I am thinking it is), also if it is, does it fall under guarantee? And finally my screen is ok, for most of the time, but sometimes this error does occur. How can I possibly tell the guys of the Samsung service center something is wrong with the screen? I did take a phone with my point to shoot, but they could say it's photoshop or something and the photo is a bit blurry. Since I cannot force the phone into this situation I can't also make new photos....
I am using alliancerom v3 and speedmod k3, I also don't think the error was due to the rom and kernel, because both weren't developed when the previous discoloration occured....

Try changing ROMs, full wiping etc...
R: [Q] Strange discoloration on my screen
I also had this issue, two times to be exact... I was worried that gpu was going to break. Do you have the gpu's voltages decreased?
Ps: I'm not saying it's a gpu problem (it's a simple thought) , so don't worry
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Same issue
I got the same problem too. i thought im the only one...I agree with hom.hom.. it the hardware problem, FYI warfareonly, i tried to change ROM, full wipe and everything...the problem still occurred..as what hom.hom said it hardware issue..
some picture taken from webcam..
Yeah, with me it looks just the same; I suppose the problem is that you can't reproduce this issue. So the Samsung repair center probably won't repair your phone. After your phone went to sleep or you reboot the issue disappeared for me. Is this the same case for you, and have you checked at a repair center of they fix this issue for you?
Okay so I wanted feedback regarding this whether someone else is experiencing this or not.
I have gradually observed during the last few days that a lot of my touches to click have gone unresponsive in Nougat. Initially it was something that I hadnt quite noticed but slowly the trend became obvious. Now dont get me wrong, this would happen a few times here and there with lollipop and MM as well, but the rate is far higher now on Nougat. Especially when typing on the keyboard this means mis-spelled words, missed letters, and accuracy is far worse now.
Has anyone else observed this or is it just me?
Just got my xcover 4 with nougat installed i have the same issue.
The sensitivity is low and i need to press a bit higher finger force to respond.
Even with sensitivity (glove mode) set to on things get worse.
I'm seeing the same thing. What is strange is that I'll see the button highlight/depress, but no action occurs. This is on multiple apps.
On what device/OS?
Sprint Note 5 on Nougat
Did you try gloves mode? Does it work?
the same for me on 920cd and the same iusse using S pen
I contacted samsung Greece about the existing problem.
I reported the problems me and you guys have and the tech support told me that your problems exist because you did not factory reset the devices before upgrading to nougat.
Anyone tried to contact samsung about the problem?
They dont know anything about it.
facing same issue screen lagging in note 5 sm-n920s also tried custom rom but still lagging in typing and scrolling on facebook
I have the same problem on my xcover 4 here!!
When I run the the touch screen test, touch screen responds well, but when I want to write a message or to scroll the home screen Its very annoying. It looks like software problem.
please help
Hi guys.
I have 2nd piece of Xcover 4 SM-G390F (first was change by seller for new one) and had the same problem. First 2-3 days all work perfect.. I have installed my applications, work perfect for two days, but after this... --After wake, display react only in centre area, 1 centimeter from display border no reaction or react on xxx touch. After few seconds (20-30) display react on full range, but with lags... So... I go for support to Samsung official at CZE.
Support tells me, that they don't know about this problem, that I'm 1st who has this problem... And some other bull... about unofficial sell and any other. So I post them IMEI and they let me know, if my distribution is official or not, and we'll see what next. They recomend me to go to service center, where somebody looks on my SM. So I see tomorrow.
ROM - official Android 7 Nougat from start using (not updated from other version)
Deleting apps - no effect
Safe mode - no effect
Factory reset - no effect
Apps to calibrate screen - no effect
Hi All,
After updating to Oreo got this weird issue, screen flickers every, roughly 2 seconds. Wit the times it also starts showing some color artifacts, freezing some parts of the screen and eventually going to complete gray-to-black flickering only. Anyone experienced something similar?
I'm thinking it may not be Oreo upgrade related just (unfortunately) some hardware issue.
Cheers

I've had similar issue after updating to oreo.
Half screen displayed artifacts.
Nokia replied to me saying that there is a bug in display drivers. Probably gong to update it soon.
Had to send it back.
Replacement works fine.

The left half of my screen is covered with black/white/grey artifacts. Sometimes after resetting or going back to factory defaults the screen goes back to normal again.
Running Oreo on a 128gb Nokia 8. REally hope it is software related (driver?). So far installing the latest updates doen't fix the problem.
Switched back to my old Samsung Galaxy S6 but man I miss my 8 already.
I changed the motherboard and I got ghost touch problem then I change the lcd and everything seems fine to me
I don't think is sw problem
I have the same problem today. As i received a call, display start to flicker. As i have all imp docs in my phone as i relies on NOKIA , I am as nothing. Somehow I am able to reset to factory reset. phone start works, but I lost all my valuable datas. How can one relies on NOKIa, who was one of BEST
Bro I have a issue of red strip visible on egdes when we turn on night mode for long time with a grey background
Hello community!
I recently bought a samsung note 9 out of the love towards the note series. But, after 2-3 weeks of usage I started noticing that there are some issues in displaying darker shades of black. The gradients of blacks are not shown properly. Instead, bands are formed in different shades of black. I searched internet and found that it is called black crush. My display is perfectly fine and it is appears like some firmware/software problem rather than a hardware issue. I also saw many people complaining about the same issue with samsung premium phones like S9+, Note 8/9 etc. But it is very surprising that there is no result for black crush or gradient banding in xda forum for note 9.
Please help me here. I wanna know if this is an issue of my piece only or is there anyone with the same issue. (Do check your phone twice before saying no. You might miss to notice it). It is so sad that a premium phone like note 9 is having an issue like this. I also read that even the advanced note 10 also face this problem. So even an update sounds foolish. The black crush isssue is really annoying. Once we notice it, we'll see it everywhere and we cant unsee.
I can't put screenshot to explain as it is a processing problem. You can search google to understand black crush or I can take a picture, if needed, of my display showing it.
If the problem really exists, I think it is high time for Samsung to have a look at it.
Is it on Mar security patch or newer?

Im in the latest security patch (1st September 2020). Is there anyway to get rid of the black crush problem? Would it help if I try installing a custom rom?
I can't tell if custom rom could fix your problem or not but those with display discoloration issue mentioned that their problem haven't go away with newer security patch(Aug/Sep).
If you've no plan in using samsung pay, you could try custom rom but rooting will break this function forever. There are workaround for other functions(at least in rooted mode), but not for samsung pay.

I was thinking about installing another OS. But, I'm not feeling to do it, as rooting permanently trip Knox. Do you know if the black crush issue is a h/w or s/w problem? Is there any fix for this? Will rolling back the OS to any previous version can help removing it?
I don't know if it's s/w or h/w but most people with display discoloration issue(not sure if similar as yours?) said s/w. Better just wait for newer firmware base. Those security patches probably with old bootloader/base that's why the screen issue persists.

It appears to be a software issue for me too, rather than a hardware one. Thanks for your advice. I'm gonna take it and wait for some time for an update from samsung, without unlocking the bootloader.
