Hi everyone
the display of my note 8 has turned greenish since august: it shows in the dark screens by activating the dark mode.
I have tried to do data recovery several times.
I flashed the latest firmware from odin.
I noticed that in apps like youtube and amazon prime video the notification bar where there are toggles does not present this problem while on the home screen, for example, the problem recurs.
Video optimization is disabled.
What could it be?
We need more information. Are you currently running the stock Samsung OS on your device? Has it been rooted?

Back up the data on your device. Go into Recovery Mode, wipe the cache data and perform a hard factory reset. See if that helps. If it doesn't then sorry to say the display panel on your device is probably gonna expire soon. Which means it needs replaced.
Had the exact same problem last September 2019, it was under garanty and Samsung replace my display and on the repair note it said "display circuit replaced" and "display replaced" so ther was a hardware problem that was fixed. Before i trayed everthing in software and nothing solved. So thats a hardware problem!

Hey,
I have an HTC One black - stock os - UK unlocked version - after 4.2.2 update.
I've got a strange problem regarding the top of the touchscreen. when the phone is horizontal, the top bit (between the top bar to the first widget) is not working. the rest of the screen working fine. when I pick the device up, the screen is working fine 70% of the time. as a result, I cant open the notification bar and it thinks that I'm clicking or re-arranging my widgets.
It's weird because IT DOES work 60% of the time.
1. did any of you experienced any of this before?
2. What do you think it is? software or I have to replace the digitizer?
3. Is it just calibration problem? I tried to calibrate the device using the keyboard screen calibration and it didn't do anything.
Thanks!
Eran.

I just started experiencing this same problem today as well. I was on a Google Edition 4.3 Rom for about 2 days, Viper 3.2 I believe and everything was initially working as it should. Suddenly I began experiencing the non responsive status bar. I cleared data & cache, fixed permissions, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I then reinstalled the Rom and the problem persisted. I then downloaded and installed black jelly Rom along with a complete wipe of the entire storage after transferring important data to my PC, but the status bar was still unresponsive and it appeared the top 1/4 inch of display had a digitizer issue. I tried to restore an older backup of Venom Rom running Sense and I still had no luck, until I went into the browser so that I could rotate into landscape to see if I could access it from this orientation (don't know why that didn't cross my mind sooner?) After I pulled the notification shade in landscape I left it down and rotated back into portrait mode and drew the shade back up slowly, following through with the gesture all the way to the top of the display. Then the functionality from portrait was restored! I believe this is a software bug of some sort, but I'm contemplating returning it to stock and relocking the bootloader to return it. I'm actually using the Tmobile variant and it's only about 30 days old. My insurance will cover a replacement for a faulty unit, but who knows if will happen with another? After a Google search I discovered this was an issue that surfaced with quite a few One X's as well, so I'm thinking it may be a bug that's consistent with some HTC hardware of a different variants? Any updates or insight would be appreciated.
Does anyone know how to fix an issue where the screen never locks? It just shows the last app when the phone wakes up about half the time.
I have a Galaxy S5 unrooted and stock.
Haven't run into that but I'm having issues with random sleep of death and random reboots. Stock unrooted here as well. I've already done a cache clear and that seemed to work for about 24 hours but I just had another SOD.

That doesn't fix the problem. I adjusted that setting as soon as I did the upgrade. It's a lollipop issue.

Was this listed under 'Lock screen'? I checked where the amazingasian stated, and couldn't find the option. That being said, it doesn't seem to be consistent enough to be a setting.

Yes it's under lockscreen. To be able to see the setting, 1st u must select a lock screen type, not the regular swype screen. Then go back to the lock screen setting and the option will be available. But lime I said, doing that doesn't fix this issue. Yesterday I turned my screen on and off 3 times just to get it to lock.

Have you tried a lock screen from Play Store? That might solve the problem. I'm using Hi Locker currently, with no problems at all.

I haven't tried it, mostly because I actually like the look of the lock screen and its integration with the rest of the OS. I think it is more of a problem with the OS not recognizing that the screen has been turned off. Therefore, I think it is a problem that would affect all lock screens.
Could it be an issue with Smart Lock? I do have a smart device set up (the Sync system in my car), but the locking isn't being consistent in my car.
I am having an issue where the Samsung Keyboard crashes when used with some apps. Notably Facebook messenger. Anyone else notice this? Also, on occasion when opening the stock SMS app after unlocking the device, it automatically opens the bottom most conversation. I've cleared both data and caches for the apps. I am fresh install rooted lollipop the day it came out.

Try my new revised rooted 5.0 process which uses FlashFire. Much more accurate in regard to permissions and contexts.

my lollipop problems
Stock s5 with lollipop AT&T. Since update and even after cache clearing, I am suffering from extremely slow charging, too fast battery drain. Occasional sluggishness, and occasionally notifications don't work until phone unlocked.
I used muniz_ri's flash fire method keeping root which installs fresh and lollipop works flawlessly with no bugs, nothing broken. After install, google reinstalls your apps which many rediscover their stored settings on the internal sd. Most lollipop issues seem to be related to the stock update method or manual tibu restore... muniz fresh install lollipop is solid.

This makes me wonder then, because I was a fresh install with the original method Muniz had up. I only TiBu restored a few apps (none affected by my keyboard issue) and let everything else stay fresh. I am going to try the new method for the reasons Muniz pointed out to my prior post that listed the issues I had.

Help please!!
I got the Huawei P9, when phone is near strong sunlight the screen illumination is very weak, but at low light it worked fine.
But now it got worse, I can't even use my phone (in any light condition), when I unlock it the screen is showing for 1 sec and then the lights goes weak (can barely see the screen) while the touch works fine.
When I start phone in safe mode - it works great with out any issue, might be software issue.
I have disconnected battery and restarted - didn't solved it
I tried formatting and restoring to factory but it doesn't fix it - restoring to factory I get android 5.1, when I bought the phone it used en older version, so I think that the factory version in my phone is also messed up.
It search for new ROM but couldn't find the right one for EVA-l09c576b386
I also suspect it may be a sensor issue, can I calibrate the light sensor?
I found a youtube video of the screen flicker issue just like mine (sorry, I can't send here links yet).
You can see it searching "Huawei P9 screen issue (Automatically blackout)" in Youtube
Any ideas please?

That is correct friend, my only explanation for that is that online phone upgrading also updated the factory ROM image.

Some software issue then... But it might be something else. I'd advice to backup and go to the seller for a potential exchange.
Before thinking about an exchange, backup, factory reset and try again. I really can't see this being a hardware issue that requires an phone swap.
submit an error report on members app > + button > error report when it fails again
You don't know how happy I am to see this thread. I have the exact same issue, with my unlocked phone on att. I did a factory reset tonight, as a last ditch, and nothing. Odd thing is, gcam works fine (except foward facing cam), and the cameras work just fine if using a third party app like messenger. Just the stock camera app says it.
If anyone comes up with a solution, i'd be happy.

You can try a factory reset but if you can return the phone do so. There's been a growing number of problems being reported for this model.
Could this issue be some weird artifact of how Samsung is disabling cameras for whatever other device (the fold?) when the bootloader is unlocked?
Maybe somehow they screwed that up for the S21 Ultra, to where it's accidentally disabling the camera if you have a certain combination of carrier and settings etc.?
That's kind of what I thought. I kept checking Knox in case it tripped somehow, and it's fine. Just super frustrating to have a flagship with such a great camera, not let you use it

Sure could be. Samsung has been dumping huge amounts of time and money into the Fold series. They are distracted.
With semiconductor shortages a more nefarious scenario could be unfolding here. When smaller chipset/component shortages happen during a production run Samsung will substitute them with an equivalent available one. The key word is equivalent. Tolerances may differ or worse the firmware for the replacement chipset isn't coded properly for that alternative chipset although it is for the primary chipset.
So now there's a subvariant of that model that uses/needs different firmware. Until Samsung recognizes this and rolls out a patch, you're boned.
Worse Samsung needs to physically inspect some of the effected phones to ID which substituted components are causing the issue from that production run. At that point Samsung will patch the firmware or replace the mobo if it can't be patched.
If it helps, the oneui beta program installed this morning, and my Camera is now working again!
The last update had some issue and the device got into bootloop during restart. Hope this update does not have such issue. I had to check it manually yesterday.

I didn't had any issue with any of the previous updates (btw what update caused bootloop on your device? any problems with update could be caused by installed apps). Anyway, OOS12 has some quirks here and there but nothing serious. It's quite stable and suitable for daily usage.
I have installed it yesterday (version EB2103_11.C.05). After testing I can confirm that it is working very well, including 5G network. Also wifi networking is working without any problems.
Any help with a bootloop after updating this update?

It's because there are two slots A and B for this kind of thing, your actual OS boots from slot A, you download update & install it on slot B and if something goes wrong, device returns to boot from slot A.

Hi, I have a model EB2103, and I want to know if this update is also for this model, if so, where can I download it?
I have the EB2103 version here and upgraded to Oos12. I deeply regret to have done it. The system is slow, ugly, and keeps resetting from nowhere. The fingerprint lock just fails much more and I miss a lot of features. The one a miss most is the hidden apps that I could easily access from apps, by swiping to right. This is gone and now I need to open the telephone app and type a PIN to see a little window will the hidden apps. Looking for a downgrade of my phone right now.
As I wrote here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/need-help-updating-my-oneplus-nord-ce-5g.4495611/
everything is fine with me, the system is running as like a Swiss watch.

I can definitely confirm that the update broke a lot of settings. For me it reset the battery and notification settings for several apps, for example AccuBattery. The apps notification icon does not show up in the top anymore and I think this is the case for every non-system app right now. I am using Nova Launcher and had to do quite a rework of my theming. Colors of the clock widget changed to a cyan, which looked awefull and the google calendar app widget went pale. I also had to remove apps that I previously deactivated.
All in all a horrible update that destroyed my theming and installed a bunch of stuff I did not ask for.
Looking forward to the end of warranty next year to root and remove the OS for something cleaner. Guess this will be the only OnePlus in my posession.
EDIT: I figured out why in my case the notification icons disappeared. I've set "don't disturb" and all the notification icons disappeared, as is with the notification icon of AccuBattery, which is a silent notification. So not only does the system not display a notification in silent mode (which is ok) it also disables the icon in the top banner for some reason. Does anybody know how to disable that behaviour and have it like before, where notifications are silent, but their icons appear in the top banner?
EDIT2: Got the AccuBattery icon working by holding the finger onto the silent notification in the pull-down and then set the notification to "important".

I didn't find out the best way to do it. It looks like MSM Download Tool is the way, but my drivers are still not working as should recognize the phone... I almost bricked the phone 'cause I started flashing it and the phone just reset in the middle of the process.
After a few days, I also noticed that the fingerprint sensor reacts really slow.
Today I printed a document and the print job just crashed after successfully sending the document to the printer.
To top it off, my Moto 360 3rd Gen battery life went from 1.5 days to just under 6 hours.

Try to re-register your fingerprints, this should work.
Did you try to print another document to reproduce the error?
To avoid battery problems on your smartwatch, you could try to allow only apps sending notification, that you need (i.e. Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram etc.). I assume, that every app send notifications to your smartwatch atm

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to look at the app rights management again, but I already restricted a lot of stuff and the point is, that before the update, everything just worked a lot better. It is a disappointing update overall that causes a lot of unnecessary problems.
I could not get root to work after the update since the TWRP image was not bootable anymore (flashing it caused the phone only to boot to fastboot). I got the phone working again by factory reset. If anyone knows a solution it would be highly appreciated.
By far the best update to Android on this phone. 11 was just abysmal compared to this.
It runs extremely smooth with no stutters. Everything opens up very quickly etc.
The battery time is, at the same time, clearly better.
It looks much cleaner.
And the functionality is mostly for the better too!
It's been a long time since I have been this positivley surprised by an android update!
No problems when updating, everything worked and missed nothing important after the update.
It's a 100% worth it!
Installed recently and breaks termux with phantom process 32. If you use termux and any of its plugins, this will certainly break it.
