Note 8 Stock - N950FXXSCDTF1_N950FOXMCDTF1_XEH - rom Display fail ?! - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi!
First
sorry for bad english!
I have a note8 since 2018. About two weeks ago, the colors on the screen have changed ?!
It feels like if some of the colors are gone. I mean 16bit instead of 8 bit about.
as if hdr mode is on, but the device cannot do it
it is most visible at low brightness
i show a picture i took with a camera
left is low brightness, right is high brightness
dropbox
original pic : original
software reinstallation did not help ( odin )
is the device broken or a software error?
Thank you in advance for your answer

Screen flickering trouble

my phone started flickering (2/3 rds from down to up)
it flickers when i lock\unlock the phone
when the light is set to auto and it gets low , to 10 % or so.
i found that the issue is worldwide with at&t phones,
tried :
solution 1 : wipe cache partition. => didn't work
solution 2 : activate developer mode, turn off "disable hardware overlays" => didn't work
solution 3 : turn off : setting\display\auto adjust screen tone => didn't work
then i downloaded : screen filter , allows you to put light at any percentage you want , i tried even 1%, the screen never flickers when i do the percentage manually.
so i guess the problem is software.
I have the same exact same problem..
I thought I was going crazy thinking it was only me..
I have tried screen shooting it when it happens but when I look at the screenshot in gallery it just shows a clean picture. Like nothings happening.
So weird

Same problem here!!! Maybe it's a hardware issue already, maybe a broken display?
its all over the world :/
the only thing i learned so far, never let the phone heat up, or you this might happen.
no solution yet.
mine started doing this after updating to 6.0.1. it gets really bad if the phone gets cold (on low brightness)
Hi. I just wanna share it. I found in this (xda comment post by some one I forget him for awhile looking for him to say thanks very much) fix for my s5 g900f with latest modem and bootloader. I use RR 7.1.2 rom.
The app is "active screen filter". That save my life.

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?

question about quality off mi9 amoled

Hi quys!
first of all ,sorry for my bad english!
but, i recently bought xiaomi mi 9 , i had lot of problem with it till now but the most important of it, its about display panel.
my perivious phone was samsung s8 Plus and s8 display was awesome (its 2 years before phone) but my mi 9 display not good as s8 plus , not even close, is this normal? or my phone have problem software?
Hi, what problem did you get ?
I had the reglular Samsung S8 and I find the Mi9 panel not far from the S8. As it is 1080 and not 1440 it has not as high pixel density, but I am more than happy with the Mi9. Never have any problems in bright sunlight as I could have with the S8.

thanks for your reply, but i a disappointed the first time i saw mi 9 display. i think the icons are like washed out and not sharp. i saw someone in this forum said after update mi9 , have a better display and compared his phone with S9!
my next problem is updating miui. my mi 9 is china pack and the website that i bought my phone , open phone box and flash global rom on china rom in china country and send them to customers. i have weird problem with the phone.crash app frequently ,google play service crash and stop ...,the worst problem is closing all apps and go to lock screen and after unlocking phone ,the message "find device closed unexpectedly" showed me and if im not reboot my phone this problem repeat and even sometimes my phone reboot itself even twice or more. now i signed out from my mi account and i turned off sync option and set off battery optimization and lots of setting option, and betternet app (vpn) not use anymore (this app made a lot of problem for me , i think) and now i have a better experience. i wished a new update fix my all problem . i am on V10.2.9.0.PFAMIXM Global Rom and new OTA Update V10.2.13.0 shown on my phone after downloading update , my phone reboot to start the update but after 25% in fastboot update failed and not update this time OTA Update is 2.2GB . i repeat this process a lot and no progress. even downloading zip file by PC and update manually not help, phone it said this is not official update.
what is the problem of my phone for OTA Update!?
You might be looking for more vivid colors. Go to Settings, Display, Contrast & Colors, and see if moving between "increased contrast" and "Standard" gives you more of what you expect to see. You can also set the color temperature to better match what Samsung uses by default

Yes, didn't think of that as I always tune down the overly saturated Samsung displays!
The auto brightness also seems to be a bit off. I have my brightness forced.
If you have DC dimming turned on, it can also change colors if you are on a lower brightness.
Coming from note 8 i am very satisfied with the screen, if the note is a 10" the mi 9 is 9,5". (i change the settings to be more vivid). I

Brightness dependent yellow tint and black lines on the screen

I am facing this issue in my Note 9,
While I am on lower brightness , I am not getting this issue. While increasing the brightness getting these black lines and also some sort of color discoloration with yellow tint also , Could someone help on this?
While on maximum brightness there is no lines are visible. Could someone help on this?
This is what android 10 does to the dispaly setting.downgrade to pie using odin to fix the screen. Back to normal,Basically in android 10 they changed the warmthness of the screen .I'm assuming you are using adaptive display and have the slider set to warm.on pie your screen would look everso slightly pink on warm but on the android 10 the screen looks yellow /brown at warm position on the slider,I made a thread complaining and ended up odining back,They have made it identical to the note 10 in terms of screen colour calibration. It sucks imo as for the black lines you mention I have no idea what that is
Please help me
Please help me
Have you factory reset ??
Next step would be to return under warranty .
Ive allready helped you just odin back to pie it fixes the issue
Happened to me as well. Display discolored showing grainy lines after recent update
I am on Latest build of Samsung Note 9 - India, with March security update on board.
I noticed that my screen shows grain whenever the brightness auto adapts to lower levels, it doesn't get normal until I keep it locked for some time and then unlock.
My phone is 1year and 3 months old however it has no issues in maintenance - no cracks, no falls, no display injuries.
I tried to keep the auto brighntess (adaptive) to off and yet this is happening occassionally when watching videos or pictures or simply pulling down the notification bar.
I also Factory reset it today and I found it is happening right from start - during the setup screens.
I am pretty disappointed something like an update is pushed and that breaks the quality of a device!
It's livable but very annoying when you are showing a picture to someone and suddenly you see the screen becomes discolored and there are grainy black lines all over the display.
I have only one hope if there is a way to go back to Feb or January build of android 10. Anyone else facing this? Please help me.
Have you sorted this issue @aronhq??
Is this a software or hardware issue. I also have this issue and i have been using android 10 from feb and got the issue today only though recently secutity updated 2 days back

I have the same problem at the beginning it was when the phone was warm now the screen is yellow and when I lower the brightness I have lines coming out
Temp fix
As a temp fix i am using oled saver app from playstore and keeping it on serting brightness full and adjusting the brightness with oled status bar so try it
My issue got solved on its own the same day..But now the issue is while watching video, it gets blocked images and slight color artifact when dark scenes play.I don't know whether its due to video compression and i didn't notice such issue previously.

Hi, any update for possible solution?
I just got the exact same issue. But my phone is Note8.
I was just watching youtube video then open an app then suddenly my screen turn yellowish and black turned faded. Also got horizontal lines if brightness is set to around 20%-70%. This happens right from boot up of the phone where Samsung logo appears.
Also I noticed that my phone gets warmer.
Mine still not back to normal.
Any update for a possible solution?
Thank you

Display question

So suddenly the display of my note 9 suddenly became wierd, where black suddenly displayed yellowish tint, blacks were dark Greys. Already perform factory rest, color adjustments and so fourth. I'm wondering if the following behavior is normal

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.

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)
