Are there no more screen issues?

I haven't seen people talk about screen issues in a long time. Is this finally resolved?

what screen issue? no issues with the screen here, and i got mine in november.

I had a screen issue where half the screen tint was yellower than the other half. I held off on an RMA. It corrected itself overtime. 64GB Midnight Blue direct from Motorola.

I don't doubt that there were screen issues and I'm sure some owners did have significant problems, but my take on the whole "screen issue" topic was that it was exaggerated. I ordered my device (64GB MB) in December and got it in January and have had no screen issues. AMOLED screens are prone to burn in/image retention, and people are more likely to post if they have a problem rather than no problems. When people need a completely grey screen to notice retention/burn in to complain about they are just looking for something to complain about.

I had the screen issue where 1/2 my screen would freeze. My RMA has been fine and I received it back in December.

Friend of mine had the same issue couple times but then it stopped and now is working fine.
Did someone figure out what was the problem?

Just bought my nexus on Saturday and I am experiencing this issue. What's the likelihood of it being just a software issue? Don't want to exchange it if there's a software fix.

From reading past threads, I know of three 'screen' issues.
1. pink/salmon coloring on low brightness
2. split screen jumbling/distortion
3. burn in/image retention
My phone was manufactured 1/15/2015.
Specifically ordered from tmobile, so midnight blue.
1. I don't have any pinking/salmon tint on lowest brightness. I use the lowest brightness by default and I have looked at a pure white background. This is certainly a more subjective issue.
2. I don't have the split screen bull**** I've seen. That's clearly broken and a hardware issue so send it back for an RMA.
3. Remains to be seen on my phone. I went ahead and disabled the softkeys, and added pie control just in case. I don't think this is 'fixable'.

I have noticed that the pink/salmon coloring on lowest setting varies from one rom to the other. No issues on stock, or stock based Roms. Definitely see it on anything I've flashed that was AOSP built or CM.
Just my experience.

I got my 64gb Midnight Blue yesterday and I've noticed some fine vertical and horizontal lines on the screen.
Its especially visible on white/grey or solid colour images. When scrolling a webpage the contents move but the lines stay stationary. I have a very similar issue as whats shown in this video:

Sadly a by product of AMOLED. I've seen this issue a lot worse on older phones like the early Galaxy S'.
You can probably try to get an RMA, but I suspect that this issue is going to be present in some mild way on most devices.

Faded/washed display after Oreo update.

So after this much anticipated Oreo release, my display has been left faded looking. It's as though you have the brightness turned all the way up which washes out the color, but even when it's turned down. It's rather frustrating & sRGB is not ticked. Please tell me this isn't the new display & what I could possibly do to change it.
Edit: Also just realized when I change my screen mode in display settings, nothing happens. I can even turn the red, green and blue all the way down with no effect. Anyone else experiencing this issue with Oreo?

Have to say no, that has not happened for me. Display looks the same and changing display settings changes the screen for me. Perhaps a reboot might help...

Do a Full reset, sounds like the ota bugged your settings out.

I've been on Oreo since the release and haven't had any issues with screen color or resolution.
Did you proceed to do the above posted steps? I myself would also say to factory reset the system.
If so, would you mind letting us know how it went and if it fixed the issue at hand.

The only place I've noticed something like this, is when using Google Maps through Android Auto, with my Vehicles display. I get the faded or Ghosting on the display. If I change from maps, to phone and back to maps it's fine again. But it's only temporary. This all started after I got the Oreo update. I'm still actively troubleshooting to find out if the cable is the problem or if it's related to the phone.

after 2 resets im good. started device as new and bo restoration of apps/go from there

P10 - sensor issues // screen gets dark in the bright sun

Hello dear xda-community,
I just returned from my vacation to Mexico. Whilst being there and taking pictures I encountered a very strange dilemma with the display and the brightness-automatic of the P10: Even if I deactivated the automatic screen-brightness, the system shaded when shooting pictures in the bright sunlight. Which resulted in a barely seeable screen, whereby the S7 of my girlfriend provided a sharp and bright screen.
I really wonder what caused this strange behaviour, and if anyone of you experienced a similar behaviour? I really don't get it why a feature still works when it's deactivated -__-
Thanks, cheerz
J

did no one experience this issue?

I experienced this, too.
But mostly I got it working with manual focus.
The most annoying thing is that the colors are a bit darken with bright sunlight, even if the sun isn't in the picture. The colors seems to be faded, the saturation is very low. See the attachment, the smaller prop plane is blue in reality but on this photo it looks like black, like the background buildings, too.

Hello Janno,
my issue is not with the postproduction, but with the lightsensor which is shading the whole display (even if this option has been disabled)
Thanks for your reply though, I chose a bad headline

Um getting this issue too... After about 10mins in the bright sun light the phone dims...even when i turn off automatic brightness and increase the brightness level it wont work...i think its a flaw on oreo update...when using nougat this never encountered

I guess it has something todo with the device temperature - Have the same behavior while using navigation :x

hm... not sure if it's really temperature-driven, since in the lockscreen no dimming took place and the display was shining in brightest and good readable colors.

Yeah thats true...

Its a bug in the display, you can turn it off in developer options but it still occurs. I think B365 has a fix for it

is B365 a user here?
Thanks for the help

B365 is an Oreo update.

I am pretty sure it is temperature issue, had it on oreo 360 and 365 after update. It happens while I am driving with navigation (waze)and charging and direct sunlight on the device. Then I take the p10 and place it in front of the air conditioner opening for 30 seconds and everything is ok.

So for me, it has something todo with the device temperature. I bought a new phone holder, which is placed in front of the Ventilation and my display didnt changed the brigthness anymore ?

Same problem
In application's it get dark even you have automatic switched off. This issue is a really annoying and looks like connected with temperature.

My P10 was/is on B365 as this issue happened. Just got it back today from repairs, of course they found nothing^^
So it seems really to be a software-issue. Any way to fix this?

Display question

My Tab S6 does that sometimes, only in setting menus but it's fine when am on YouTube and Browsing the net and use other apps. My Note 9 does not show grey colors when in settings or other menus! Try turning brightness to around 20 to 25% then try ?

Sounds like you might have a faulty display! Ring Samsung and get it replaced! i can see in your 1st pic Brightness is maxed out OLED panels can easily burn in! maybe it's burnt in, that's why your seeing yellowish and brown as the panel is shagged!

Big thanks man, I have being freaking out lately over it

My screen sometimes stays like this.....
Is this software related?
I even try a full format, but sometimes it stays like this, the green cames.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/okhHvVyuBtgy7ZYq5

That's the beginning of the headache if your situation follows mine. I also noticed a weird green hue about a week ago on dark grey background, but thought nothing of it, until the whole display became awashed and green and glitchy in normal brightness like the article above suggests (it still looks sort of acceptable in 10-20% and highest level brightness though). If the March update is to be blamed, I cannot wait for April update because right now there's just no service centre opening.

We all are facing the sams issue. Like the article says its mostly because of software update however after getting this problem some were downgraded to android 9 but no luck. Seems Samsung is willingly glitching their customers after warranty period is completed. We created Telegram group also search in Samsung members you could join there.

Are you sure, that even a downgrade (via Odin) is not fixing the issue ?
Than : Samsung Damaged the Screen with the update !
Iam not hit by the problem.
But maybe soon ? (Exynos here)

Samsung Note 9 - Display Discoloration & Overheating

Who else are facing the same problem ?
1)Initially, when I unlock phone by pressing power button the display was changed to dim colour(mostly yellowish) and with horizontal lines displayed when the brightness is below 50%. After tried with multiple times pressing on power button the display came back to normal.
2) Next stage, it's not solved with power button. I have to keep my phone aside for some time to get back to normal display. It's been 15 to 20 min then.
3) Now, I would get normal display only in morning. Else, I need to keep my phone idle without touching for at least 4 to 5 hours. I've also changed screen power off time from 30 Sec to 10 Minutes. So that my screen wont turn off and I can keep the normal display. If I forgot to use or kept aside more than 10 min then my screen would go off and display would gone again and irritation starts with that discoloration problem..
4) If display changes to yellowish to reduce the horizontal lines problem I need to increase the brightness to 80 or 85% but this causing my phone with another problem "heating issue"
Samsung haven't responded on this issue yet, how could we bring up the issue and get the proper resolution from Samsung.

This happened after last March update installation?
What note 9 do you have?

Probably not a hardware fault if it happened after recent software update.
A number of note9 affected although samsung seems to disagree at the moment.

Hello,
I also have a problem with the display after waking up with the POWER button. There are tinted colors distorted and some stripes like dim lines and slow refreshing. Everything started after updating to Android 10. In fact, when the display lights up incorrectly, it starts to heat up from the bottom. Putting the smartphone aside for a moment or cooling down causes the display to work correctly.
Workaround? I turned on Active Display and first knock to activate it, then the display lights up correctly and then I unlock the screen and use normally. It is known that battery consumption increases. Of course mine is Exynos.

hi guys,, i remember a similar experience sometime back.. try this. if u have turn on the proximity sensor i mean the advance feature where the phone screen doesn't turn on while in pocket , switch it off and restart the phone and see if the problem still exist.

whats the firmware version u are having now and phone model?

Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then back up your device and manually reinstall the OS back onto your device.

Im having the exact problem. I flash LineageOS and it worked by max brightness then back to auto. I installed brightness widget to max brightness and back to auto everytime I turn on screen.
This issue is popular after March update. I tried everythings you mentioned above, reset, flash new firmware, even April update, wipe cached, flash cooked rom, heat screen, turn off features, disable gpu overlay, etc... Samsung Vietnam guaranteed can fix with new screen but I'm out of warranty.

I dont have any issues us unlocked snapdragon xaa model on latest android 10 version.

Can we confirmed that a screen replacement fixes the display problem or is it still a software issue

No one knows what is the exact cause here, its noticed in many devices right after this March update but few are noticed months before. But, now the problem came to many users at same time. So its been brought up by many tech blogs, websites.

I'm having the exynos version too but with ITV (Italy) firmware ...never had this problem and now I'm on April's version after March's version.
This looks a little bit like what happened to the S5 years ago when after 1 and a half/ 2 and a half year's the screan began flickering, having green spots or lines, randomly didn't go on with low luminance settings since it completely died....a lot of people said on forum's that it was the screen and a replacement solves, but when it happened to me years ago the Samsung assistance center told me that it was another component (never told me what it was) causing the issue and once they changed it , they solved the problem.
So, after my experience with the S5, don't know what to think now for what is happening to some guys even if I think that this issue might depend with something happening after marchs update because for the too many people having it after the update, coincidences are not credible.

Yes, many people were facing this problem and how many times we have contacted the Samsung they are behaving like they just hearing the issue for the first time. Just created and posted the link in Members app and 67 members joined so far. Everyone having the display problem out of nowhere. All of them on out of warranty except one or two. Still members app floating with the display problem messages.
Display issue got noticed in S20 too but they immediately released the security patch and solved it. Don't know why they were silent on Note 9.
