Hi guys,
I've read about the touchscreen issue some of you have but never had any problem with my device.
However, I came across this nice little game yesterday and got into it more seriously today and I can tell you that my device have the issue too.
I run into the issue after something near 5 minutes of gameplay when I'm trying to connect those magnificent dots... :silly:
Maybe this game can be a good way to reproduce the issue?
Anyone can confirm?

EDIT: Heat related maybe?

there are several videos of touchscreen issues... apparently the author of the vid above says that system updates fixed the issue.. is it really the case?
Since the 4.3 update I have not seen any new reports of Touchscreen issues
So you can trust me when I tell it has been fixed
~~Regards
ok cool thx
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I clean flashed the new firmware (apg2 XAR) for tab s2 (2016).
After an hour of use the screen started to flicker, shifting colors everywhere on the screen.
After a reboot the flicker was gone but not sure if that was a "fix". If it happens again I will try to capture the screen.
Nonetheless I wanted to ask if anyone had something similar. Can that be a hardware issue? Or a software one? Maybe a graphic driver problem?
Thanks for any input.

Well if a reboot fixed it then you're good to go.
Hello. Issue is the screen all of a sudden turns into very phosphorite colours. I've searched for any similar issue here in xda and have not seen anyone else with this problem..
In another forum (Spanish only) various people have reported the same issue after my post there. And in most of the cases the issue seems to show up after watching a video/movie potentially related with Netflix and/or HDR.
Rebooting solves the issue. And another person reported that after leaving the phone locked for some time the colours were back to normal...
Have note 8 for less than a month and this has happened 2 times already.
I post here as audience will be wider.
Anyone with same issue or idea?
Thx a lot

Can you show us some pics?
I don't have, but if when it happens again I will take a picture with another phone
Nobody in xda have seen the issue?

I think we're waiting on pics. Phosphorite is a rock, so I'm not sure what phosphorite colour means.
sounds some settings in the screen mode were changed. when it happens again, dont reboot just go toggle a few different setting and see if it fixes it. also, having tinted colors(phosphorous?) seems as RGB got changed under the advanced settings in the display mode settings.
I do know some apps are be able to change brightness so mybe other can change color settings? some sort of a blue light filter or 'night' mode?( tint to a warmer shade?)

Is it only when you're charging? I have my screen saver set to colour, and I'd describe those as psychedelic. But I just have to touch the screen to make it stop.
Haha. Yes phosphorite is probably not the right word... the screen turns into fluorescent colours (like in a highlighter pen). Hope this clarifies... let's see if it happens again and I take some pictures.
Thanks for the responses so far
Hi guys,
My phone's screen is very mildly flickering . Very mild . It's like light blink. It happens mostly with white screen background . It is quite a concern cos am worried this might become worse as time goes by . Anyone knows what's causing this and a possible fix ? Btw this happens in safe mode too
Pls someone reply
It sounds like a hardware issue, I would take it to a Samsung Store and see what they can do about it.
Mine just started doing it, but my note 8 is already gonna be shipped to them to fix the burn-in issue im having. Hopefully it will fix the flickering aswell.

Hmm I too feel the same but it is only very mild . Only when observed very closely the flickering is visible that too happens only in white screen

Doesn't look like a burn in issue for me . Looks more like something wrong with ambient light sensor.
