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.

Left part of my screen doesn't respond to clicks! (Screenshot, issue area is on red)
Issue persists between roms (Tried GDX and stock).
A few minutes ago I realized that left side of my screen has some bright, so I compared right side (Photo) with left side (Photo).
No, that white bright is not wallpaper reflection. It's white on color wallpapers too and even on completely black wallpapers.
Any idea?
First thing that comes to my head - did you drop anything on it?
Secondly how long has this issue persisted?

1.- if you mean hit: all hits it had (almost none) were from about 15cm high.. nothing to worry about....
if you mean liquid: no
2.- about a year, because I thought it was a rom issue and I never used any other....
it has 1 year and 6or7 months
thanks for replying! i thought nobody was going to haha!
It's definitely a faulty screen or digitizer. If the issue persists across all ROMs and kernels (you don't have to check each one of them), then you should get your screen or digitizer (can't really put my finger on which is causing this) replaced.
F***.. So, there is no doubt its a hardware issue? Then i'll have to live with it -.-
Hello i have bought a used xperia Z. I noticed it has about 5 white stains on the display. You can only see the stains on light color (white,yellow,green etc.) Black color look normal. Are the white stains (dots ) on the display a big problem? It look a little bit like moisturized.Did anyone have similar problem? i will try to throw on photos later.Anyone similiar with this problem? Tried using dead pixel fix form play stor, it doesnt help anything.

they are stuck pixel sometimes working and sometimes ... and won't destroy other pixels (it s usual issue on lcd displays)
But if they are not annoying for ur eyes leave them cause fast flashing the screen and such solutions don't solve anything.
but sony will replace if it has warranty
:good:

it s used phone and i don't know what did happened for it
maybe last user modified it or was working not properly
so best choice is to take it to official service
however u can first use PC Companion app to repair firmware if these problems be in software this can solve all of them
:good:
if it was helpful hit thanks

LOL the buttons work now correctly biggest problem is that iuf i put the display on full brightness it stars flashing and when it turns on the screen flashes really bad too
I have this weird brightness problem where I have it at 50% and it would randomly dim and brighten like crazy. I tested at 100% brightness and it also dims and brightens. Obviously, I don't have it on auto brightness but it sure acts like it.
Anyone with the same issue? Is it a defect? I just got the phone today and I'm afraid to exchange it to have the same problem again. I really like this phone. There's always a friggin issue on a new phone. It's ridiculous.

I think is a software problem. Lollipop still have lot to fix. Mines look the same. Can be a display minor isue. Not sure, but for me this phone doesn't have the best brighness at all. But I love this phone better than others for now. If you came from samsung phone, there is a big diferent in brightness. Post some screen shoot. One in a white background, and the other in a grey one. I will post the same and you tell me if something is diferent. Sorry for my grammar. Is not the best !!!!?

In Q&A is a thred call DPI Change. Try that, but reed carfully. you'll need root for that.
I appreciate your input but I don't know how the things you mentioned would help me in my case. I would need to do a video in order to see the problem instead of screen shots. Dpi change will do nothing in this case as well. You may be confused with the issue I have.
Well I try my best. As I sed could be a software problem. DPI is a resolution thing, can help a little. Also you can link a video to see exactly what you talking about. The reson I ask for the screen shoot is becaus I can probably see a differences between your brightness and mines. Hope somebody can help you on that.
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 there,
There is a green tint in the right part of the screen, it's more noticeable in low light and grey colors. Using PA Rom, but I think is not related to it. I use 66 hz screen oc, but the problem persists in 60 hz too.
Searching in the web I've found that may be burned due to oc, but in the forums people have been using it for a long time without issues at higher hz. I found a forum with a man with the same issue in miui stock without screen oc, but it got fixed, so maybe it's software related.
I think I'm going to flash stock miui and see if it happens again.
Anyone with the same issue?
Your screen is fried bro

Yep, that's what I think. :crying::crying::crying:
I'm thinking about flashing stock and use the garanty. But in daylight or light theme is not visible. Probably I'll wait to see if it get worse to contact the seller.
