S8 Green lines and smear - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Just got my S8 yesterday evening and less than 24hrs after the screen is already bad...
Was like this when I picked it up from the Samsung fast wireless charger that was gifted to me by the provider.
What is strange is that the line are not showing up on either complete black or white screens.
See for yourself..
EDIT: Just got a new one and this looks fine.

Looks like your screens digitizer is going bad. I went through 3 S6's that had green/pink line running down it.

I would definitely not be happy about that. They should replace it without a question. That's an obvious mfg defect

Here's my S6 I upgraded from. Third one that had it, verizon wouldn't replace it because they said it must be something I'm doing. I got real close to not getting another samsung.

This happened on my S7 Edge, and when I took it so Samsung they couldnt replicate the problem. They believed me though and replaced the display panel for me for free anyway Didn't even use up one of my warranty swapouts

Problems with the screen

I have bought a SGS II and I like it a lot but I have some screen problems (and it is not related to the yellow/blue tint on the left side). My problem is that compared to the screen of SGS I, my screen is much worse, because there is a kind of "layer" (only noticeable with low bright and you have to pay a bit of attention)like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that makes that when the brightness is low (on the device) the screen should be like this:
but instead of that I see something like this:
. It's a kind of layer that is showed every time, so I see that noise and I think that something is wrong with my device, or do you have this problem too?
Sorry, but I can't post URLs, so open them.
Like some sort of static image noise or dithering is going on, thats absolutely not normal.. What you can do is maybe go back to the store and have it check/compared with another unit.
Defective screen? Take back to shop!
looks like a (bad) screen protector foil is applied. if that's how your screen looks like without anything applied to it, return the device to the shop...

That's what I will do, I hope my next SGS II doesn't have this problem, anyway, I have to wait at least one month to receive a new one .

As long as you didnt rooted it etc it definately is covered by the Warranty
Looks like a Glueing fail wich gets worse when the Phone is in Use due to the Temperature differences

So its Defective from factory not because of bad using or anything like this
I have the same problem, I can't use my warranty because the person on eBay I bought it from had the phones shipped from Hong Kong. Pretty bloody annoying.

Samsung galaxy s4 problem

Hi all!
I have a galaxy s4 i9505, and till yesterday everything was working perfectly. Yesterday before i went to sleep i put my phone on the table. Today when i woke up i wanted to call someone and than i saw that there is a small line on my phone's screen. I peeled off the screen protector ( i thought it was from that ), but the line stayed there. It' internal. When i put my finger there, i dont feel any scratch or anything different. By now the "line" got bigger.. The screen works perfectly..

What is the problem with the phone?
Sry if i made mistakes, im not english.
Thanks!
The optical adhesive used to bond the glass to the screen has for some reason lost its adhesion in that area. Get a hold of Samsung and let them know about the fault and ask them for advice.

ok, thanks!
My friend's s4 has a similar line. It happened for leaving it on the dashboard of the car when it was sunny.
The line was big at first, but it gets smaller with each day.
Maybe it will go away by itself after a few weeks

Verizon S7 Edge cracked in the bottom corner....out of nowhere?

Hello all, I've had plenty of devices both recently being two Note 7's that were kept flawless and I ended up with an S7 edge after the recall but now I have an issue I can't seem to get any help on. Went out with my phone Monday while talking on it and I put it in my pocket once I got in my car. About an hour later when I reached in to change albums I noticed a gigantic crack on it between the home and back button. Obviously Samsung will I dropped it but I never dropped this device and it has been in an otterbox since the day of purchase.

I've always taken GREAT care of all my devices and I've seen online where the S6 edges had complaints of spontaneous cracks but I really hate to just say the phone cracked by itself.
I live bout two hours from the Samsung Service Centers in North Jersey and NY but can't get anyone on the phone so I can't get a price. Has anyone ever went through Samsung to get their device fixed?
I had a S4 with a broken screen fixed by Samsung. I'm in New Jersey and had to ship it to a Samsung repair center in Texas. I had Square Trade warranty and had to only pay a $75 deductible. They did a great job but I was without a phone for like 10 days.

Can't you take it back to the repair shop, they should provide some sort of warranty on the work they do. Don't think it's anything software wise you can do to fix this

Its a local service, and they say this is not a problem. it only seen in white color.
ps: photos added
They say it's not a problem because they can't do anymore about it. So if a Samsung service center is unavailable to you, you're stuck with it. Your screen looks bad on those photos.
