Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S8, i've noticed some screen issue, especially in dark places or at night. The screen is showing weird color on the top. Check the pictures attached and let me know what do you think.
To check if you have the same issue with your phone, you need to increase the brightness to the max, turn of auto adjust brightness, and check your phone in a dark place
Erm
Just do a screen print and attach it.
takes few seconds on mobile to do.
dial *#0*# and do color tests, if it fails I would return it.
How can i show u the picture?
Hi

Trev

Same issue as the pic ? and can you tell me the source of the manufacture?
I had these for like 2 seconds when I just started setting up my phone, then I never saw it again.
So it might be a software image processing glitch.
Tried a factory reset / changing the color mode?

for some reason my nexus one has a small red mark on the screen. The red mark only shows on a black wallpaper and not on any of the others i checked for dead pixels or stuck pixels there are none. I tried taking a photo and a screenshot to check if it will show on the picture and the result was negative it did not show.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? after several days of searching the closest answer i could find to this problem is this thread here
Solutions i have tried so far are:
1) changing HBOOT
2) flashing different roms
3) factory reset
4) display checkers
5) photos and screenshots
any kind of help would be great

Hey guys I'm having this weird issue where i get this red square frame for a second - along the screen border when i do certain things like going through the settings menu. It always appears when when i shift from picture to picture in the gallery. Think it might be some setting or software issue ?? Anyone else get this? Help its annoying! I have a gt-i9500
the same happens with my friend's Galaxy s3 so its not related to software did u enable anything from developer options ?? or maybe connect it to a TV ??
Mine did that for a while, too. Seems like a it was the Strict mode was turned on in the Developer Options that caused it.

It seems you have enable an Strict Mode in Developer's mode, disable it and it'll work like a charm

Everything works, i still recieve calls but can't use it for anything else:crying:. Anyone experienced this or any suggestions as to what to do will be appreciated. Also just to note i bought it in Australia and currently not there so cannot return it.

Was hoping that wasn't going to be the answer Thanks a lot all the same.
Yesterday, my screen turn off, or so i thought, there was a horizontal line on the top of the screen, and i saw it was the same color as the screen i was on. I immediately took off the battery and for a split second it worked before turning off. So i thought it was a low voltage problem, and let it charge overnight, and today it worked for 2 hours until it failed again. So.. if anyone knows how to repair this without replacing the entire screen, please let me know. i already checked if it was the conector, and it seems it isn't
If the screen itself is the problem then there is no way to fix it without replacing.

the thing is that when i take out the battery, it works before turning of
Hi,
It appears to me that it's some kind of problem with the screen as well, it doesn't seem to be changing the leds of the previous screen until it is out of power to keep them turned on. Unfortunately I'd guess the only solution is replacing screen.
All the best,

You might try changing the software, but it might be hard to do if the screen doesn't display anything in recovery or download mode.

nope, it doesn't, i was hoping it was a software issue, but i noticed that it didn't display anything in recovery or download, so i opened the phone and checked if the display connector wasn't passed correctly or something, but to my surprise it was correctly connected, i went and disconnected and reconnected the pin, but it didn't helped at all
When I unlock my phone from the lock screen, sometimes there is a blinking light underneath the selfie camera behind the screen. It flashes constantly until I lock and unlock my screen again.
Is it a defective screen? The phone is brand new.
Same here and my phone is brand new. Any ideas?

I took my phone back to the Samsung store and they exchanged the phone. They said they have never seen it before. Luckily it was happening before I went into the store. So I managed to show them the fault.
It has not happened yet on my new phone. For me it was intermittent. It occurs when I unlock my phone in direct sunlight.
Maybe a faulty sensor. It is a purple flashing light about an inch below the selfie camera in the centre of the screen.
Same thing happens again on my new phone.
Same on my week old unit. I believe this is a software glitch that could be fixed in next update, if the developers catch it.
I suspect it might be some glitched animation, since One UI is full of them. I will try eliminating/disabling animations in the developer options and see if that helps.
same problem to me, did you find anything new?

Samsung have said it is a software issue and they are aware of it. They said they are working on a fix which should be released in the next few weeks.
I've never seen this behavior on my A40 but it sure sounds strange.

For me it occurs when I unlock my phone in direct sunlight. It doesn't occur in dark places. I don't think it happens with adaptive brightness turned on.
This is the 3rd phone I've got from 2 different stores. Same problem on latest firmware on SM-A405FN/DS.

For me it also happens in direct sunlight , but I think the problem is that phone overheats in pocket and after starts blinking, I have tried turning on and off in sunlight couple of times and it is not blinking unless I would have the phone in my pocket for a long time in high temperature
