Sick of samsung's bad displays

So my display after being replaced 2 times in 6 months started flickering. My phone is very hard to be turned on because of the green flickering.
I just want to upgrade to a S6,S7 Edge or non edge. i just want to know if they have the save problem with displays ? I want to have a phone at least 2 years, can you recommand me a phone like that ?
I was just considering switching to a iPhone even though i prefer android on phones ... o how are S6,S7s displays ? Samsung still have the same problems?

Samsung improved a lot on screen quality in S6 and after, so you should be okay

green flickering problem just for auto brightness problem (some custom Roms have this issues) if u will untick the auto brightness u will not have this problem

Not really, it has more issues on this "display green flickering " , on my S5 i dont get display on if the temperature around it getting cold .

Wow that's amazing. Been using samsung s5 exynos version for the last 1yr. Never had that kind of problem till date. And it have the same display as snapdragon version. And on comparison I found that this is by far the best display out there when compared to other brands.
Maybe perhaps you might be having a faulty unit from the begining.

I have the same problem here with the display and it's not a software problem (same by original os 6 and same by cyanogenmod 14).
After the temperatures are under 10 C. i can't open my s5 with home button i must do it over the power button.

Using S5 for more than 28 months still I have not faced any issue. I just had to buy new charger apart from that not a single problem and yes I mess up with my phone so much but I still working and no display failure yet. And also I have dropped it many times, it still refuses to die.
You are just having a defective model or some internals of the phone are messed up. Because Samsh*t produces one of the best displays..

Its not a good sign. Try disabling your light sensor. Even then if you experience such a problem than it means that your flex cable that attaches the screen with the motherboard needs to be changed.

Hi,
Yes and expect the same problems with the following generations. It's an amoled screen thing. The green colour happen when there's a colour displayed on the screen for a very long time (for example, I have a green on my screen of the size of my keyboard).
I think a solution to this problem is to set the display to turn off after 30s (it saves battery too) and maybe, if you're using a custom keyboard, change the colour from time to time. Use the brightness of the screen to a lowest which would still be comfortable to you (and auto unticked).
This last tip alone is enough to prevent greening. My flickering happened after an incredible fall (it had a tempered glass so the screen was safe). The flickering showed green what it had in memory.
Samsung has a 2-year guarantee for its products so you shouldn't worry for that period of time. Problem not solved, replacement.
Best of luck

The funny thing is i already did "by mistake" all the tips you said and still have this. Never dropped the phone though. This problems seems very big though, i expected a burn in to be the biggest problem, but to have flickering at a level that i cant turn on the phone. I wanted recently to switch to a Nexus 6p, but knowing that it uses Amoled too, its a bad ideea. So the only "solution" is to switch to IPS screens? (btw i want a phone that holds on for at least 3 years)

In my research thus far, the AMOLED screen technology is to blame. When the display circuits get old or damaged, they don't sustain current at low power settings. In LED screens, a back light controls brightness, but AMOLED screens send current to each pixel for brightness control. If the circuit is damaged, or any corrosion has built up inside, this could attenuate the current below the point required to sustain light flow. I see this problem with some LED and CFL lights on motion sensor switches. Just enough current goes through the motion sensor to keep it's circuits active, and that current causes a flicker in the light.
With the screen though, since the problem is only resolved when you increase the brightness just a bit above minimum, it seems anything that lowers the display power (auto brightness for example) will cause it to flicker if this setting gets too low. I also noticed that before the screen locks on timer, it dims to low power for a few seconds and flickers as a result. There are apps that attempt to resolve this by putting a translucent black screen over your desktop and apps. This keeps the power up on the pixels but adds a black overlay, kind of like a screen filter. You can adjust the darkness if you need it to save your eyes when reading in the dark but it doesn't help save power any. They also require a rooted device, which could void warranties. The reason for this I believe is because apps are supposed to operate in a way they don't intrude on each other, and a filter that lays over your screen does in fact alter the output of your display rendering. With the added security concerns of these apps possibly collecting screen shots and sending them to another site, I would avoid this. Best to use a physical screen overlay you can put on or remove as needed as long as it doesn't interfere with your touch screen options.
Ultimately, these devices were meant for replacement every 2 to 3 years so if you're like me and you like to make your investment last, best thing to do is apply any work around you can come up with. A repair shop may be able to wipe the circuit boards down with a solution that clears away corrosion, but it won't repair any weakened pixels. I'm still using a Samsung S5 G900F
- And i finally got this fixed. it sounds like the reason for this is that since the latest update your phone cannot decide whether to use hardware or software back light settings. I managed to make the problem go away by doing this:
Go to settings >> system >> About device.
Find "Build number" and click 6 times fast on it.
You will then get the message saying: "You are now a developer"
and then go back to Settings >> system >> Now you will see the "Developer Options"
Now go to Developer options >> Drawing Section or Rendering Section >> Find "Turn off hardware overlays" or "disable hardware overlays" >> This will force the phone to always use GPU for screen adjustments. no more flickering.
but If I turn the brightness ALL the way down, it still flickers like crazy, however, if that's the only time it'll do it, I consider that a win.

mi5 diminished parts of previously opened apps remain stuck on screen.

hello to all,
So I've recently noticed this happening on my mi5 32GB variant. Whenever I close an app, after using it for sometime, a diminished part of that app remain even after closing it.
for example, if I use FB app for sometime and when I close it and go to homescreen, near the upper part of the screen I can see the diminished part of the FB app ( the upper part of FB app) even after closing it.
This can be viewed better if I go to recent apps screen. Since it has a greyish background the image can be viewed better. This is more prominent in the upper corners of the screen, but it also visible on the lower corners as well.
This happens when the phone becomes hot after working for sometime. If I leave it locked and idle for sometime, that image fades away and everything becomes normal. But if I start using the phone again for sometime, the problem comes back.
I kind of think this is something wrong with the lcd panel because if I take a screenshot (of the homescreen/recent apps menu when the problem persists) and view it through the PC it looks fine.
I've flashed both lineage OS and xiaomi.eu ROMs and this happens in both of them.
My phone has a LGD panel.
If anyone here has previously encountered this problem or if anybody have any idea about why this is happening and/or whether there are any solutions for this, I would really appreciate your help

I think its called a screen burn issue. Dont have a solution though

right ... I suspected something like this coz it happens only when the phone is hot. I didn't knew the correct term for that ....
thanks for the reply buddy. appreciate it

It's image retention. Which happen quite frequently on ips display made by LG. Many LG's flagship also suffer this symptom. The only way you can reduce it is by reducing the amount of RGB(Red green blue) colour profile by 5-7% though only doable in LOS.

Look under display calibration and change your RGB values accordingly: R: 93% G:93% B93% . It works like a charm :highfive: I use LineageOS although not all ROMs have this feature.

yeah use the LOS 14.1 and adjust the RGB to 90. I suppose it hides the retention effect. To fix the problem completely, I think the only option is the replace the screen.
some people are using KCAL which essentially provides the same options( and more) but keep in mind that it needs root access and kernel modifications.

XZ2 brightness flashing problem

Hello!
Sometimes, especially when downloading an app from Play store, when installing finishes, screen in XZ2 flashes for like 0.1sec. It goes very bright for a moment and then everything goes back to normal. Anyone knows why is that? I'm up to date with everything, ans have disabled everything connected with screen in settings, including adaptive brightness.

Do you use additional screen white balance in settings? It looks like this was the trigger for me. In certain situations it looks like phone forgot the options for color calibration and moment later was back to definied settings. So I set them back to default and since then no problem (despite more bluish screen comparing to custom white ballance settings of course )

Weird glitch when phone is in dark mode (colour shifting when taping display)

Hi everyone,
Got my Pixel 4 XL on the 23rd and been playing around with it since then. I am now settling into a rhythm and noticed a very concerning glitch with the display when the phone is in dark mode. Basically, when the phone is in dark mode I noticed that typing in Gboard or tapping anywhere on screen in apps that are not pure black (such as Messages, Phone, etc.) will shift the screen colour from blueish-black to greenish-black. This happens every time, even after rebooting the device. There is no visible colour shifting in apps that use pure-black such as Settings (however, parts of Settings like the search bar that are the "gray" dark colour also shift). Once I noticed this happening now I cannot stop noticing it everywhere. I am looking to find out from you whether you are seeing the same thing or whether this may be a device problem. Note that the same issue shows up in dark apps even if dark mode is not enabled. It also has nothing to do with Ambient EQ, Automatic Brightness, or anything else of similar nature. Occasionally the problem stops, but if I pull up Gboard and start typing (say to search in the Recent section of the phone app) the problem immediately comes back.
I am looking for serious feedback here from those willing to look closely. This does seem like a software glitch to me, rather than hardware, especially since I am not seeing this behaviour with any other colours and so far it definitely has something to do with physical interaction with the screen when tapping on it. As I said, it also seems to be universally triggered by Gboard when in apps running in dark mode.
I appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Edit: Looks like what I'm observing is related to the switching colour profiles when the display is going back and forth between 60Hz and 90Hz. Turning off the smooth display function or forcing the display into permanent 90Hz mode appears to stop the problem from happening. Google really messed this one up. I hope their 90Hz fix they promised clears up this issue. Very annoyed ?
Thanks,
Dejan

Btw, since you are using forced 90hz display make sure to have always on display on. If you don't your greys will be purple and lower brightness as well as lots of black smear/crush. I don't know how turning on always on display solved that issue (someone posted this fix in another thread). So it indeed doesn't seem to be hardware but software related and hopefully they will tune this over time.

Yeah, I saw that thread. Some funky stuff going on with display calibration and 90Hz. Since I know that the HW is not defective and the SW is the source of the issue I am less bothered now (I cannot stand exchanging HW). I haven't specifically observed that effect on my phone and while I did try forcing 90Hz, I actually went back to the stock setting since I noticed that forced 90Hz further sucked down the battery that already is not particularly stellar despite this being the XL version. I presume Google will refine the 90Hz calibration and function over the next few months. I will say though that I am a bit confused why they need to have different calibration at different refresh rates. I calibrate all of my desktop monitors and despite the fact that I have a 100Hz monitor I never have to change calibration with refresh rate. Maybe an OLED thing :shrug:

I just noticed this on my pixel 4 xl tonight. But It only happens when the proximity sensor is triggered. Ex: like after making a phone call except it made everything on the screen seem over saturated on the screen and well as the same color shift you had stated. It seems to go away once I lock the device and unlock it again. It did it with smooth display on and off as well as force 90hz on and off.

There are a couple threads discussing this. Here's one of them:

HUGE ISSUE! Custom ROM’s spoiling the display panel! + Solution!

Okay, now that I got your attention, this is a SERIOUS issue. You may not even realise it, but if you’re not using MIUI, you pretty much have a Screen Burn In / Image Retention problem on your RN 8’s display. It’s temporary though, and goes away after a while. You can see for yourself, but I’ll come to that, and also to why it doesn’t really happen in MIUI. Also, the RN 8 isn’t the only device affected!
The issue:
This never happened over the 5 months I’ve used MIUI. It’s been a month since I flashed Pixel Experience Q, and I’ve noticed when opening Reddit, in its dark grey splash screen, I could see my notification bar and some app’s hamburger menu faintly. It started bothering me, and I started researching. How can I get burn in on a new device!? And heck, it’s an LCD. Turns out I’m not the only one. A quick Google search on “Redmi Note 8 Screen Burn In” gives you tons on people complaining, even here on XDA. Many think it’s a hardware issue, and replaced their display and still faced it!
See for yourself:
Open this dark grey picture linked below in full screen in your gallery. You may notice the notification bar burnt in. For a better example, exit your gallery with that picture open, set brightness to 100% and screen timeout to 2 mins, light mode, and just open settings and leave it alone. After almost 2 mins, quickly go back to your gallery with the picture open. You’ll see settings lightly imprinted into your screen!
Here’s the dark grey picture:

Here’s how it looks (sorry for the crappy quality!):
https://imgur.com/v2U8kKu
Solution:
Turns out that the Tianma LCD display panel found in most Xiaomi devices, like the RN 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, Mi 5 etc have to have a specific colour calibration. You need to set the Red, Green & Blue values to 90% in your ROM’s colour calibration. Take a look at these:

Here’s how colour calibration should look, I stole this image from somewhere
https://imgur.com/pgTExqo
MIUI already has the right calibration by default.
But here comes the biggest problem for some of us. Pixel Experience Q, the most popular Custom ROM for RN 8, doesn’t have this option. I tried Franko Kernel Manager with the stock Kernel and Genom kernel, and the display RGB values make no effect. So as of now, I’m stuck with this. Any tips? ROM’s like Havoc should have it though. So dev’s, please set this as the default colour calibration value!
I hope this helped, I put 2 hours of effort into it haha.
On another note, I hope y’all are staying safe from this epidemic!

bro i have it in miui .. its hardware not soft .. i noticed it in different xiaomi devices like note 8 - note 7 - and sure poco f1 .. then noticed it in realme 5 pro .. not found in my very old samsung grand prime / though companies nowadays go to those low end panels .. all of them

I have the same issue on MIUI (stock rom) too.
I did the exact same steps you described and I got the burn in. Well it is not much, I could see it only on full brightness though. Not much of an issue for me on such a budget phone tbh.
Changing the color calibration for all colors to 90% might help to reduce this burn-in, speaking of custom roms to include this as a default setting.
But it won't help with this cheap panel, which is ineed a hardware issue anyway.

Setting all 3 colours to 90 % just reduces overall brightness nothing else.

Thank you! Display colors can be changed on crDroid 6.4

https://t.me/InceptionNote8/66967
this works well for me, use franco kernel manager

It is not the rom issue
I'm seeing this issue in stock rom and i never changed roms till now. It is bcoz of poor quality display panel. Get it replaced ASAP before warranty runs out

I dont know if this is universal but setting the colour tone to cool fixes the issue completely in my redmi note 8

just change the color calibration to this and voila, u never experience burn in screen anymore. i changed it couple weeks ago and no burn in AT ALLL untill this day!

no twrp,custom roms,rooting.
but being a budget device (having eMMc type of storage) i have no regrets it performs very well against phones of Exynos 9609(UFS2.0), SDM665 (UFS2.1).
Comming to the topic "screen burns" will go away on its own not a matter of Great concern, leave it like that only it will automaticly go away its not Permanent .......... :fingers-crossed:
