Weird display problem on my s8 since yesterday - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

This is what has happened to my screen all of a sudden.
It works well at rare times while at 90-100% battery and most of the time it has this issue at particular levels of brightness.
Also the screen color has become totally dull, only at rare times its proper
Also notice the flickering of screen after locking the device.

Your oled panel is bad, to prevent it from getting worse find a spot where the screen looks normal and leave it there turn off auto brightness and pray it stays good. I repair phones for a living and it's about $299.99 USD for an oled replacement. If you're still under warranty, start a claim with Samsung.

Yeah it's still bad, I've changed at least 20 faulty oled screens out of warranty so far.

[Q] Nexus 4 dropped and display blurred,

My Nexus 4 dropped from my pocket this morning. I was shocked but the Phone didnt switch off. No visible scratches,apparently there is no scratches at all.The Display turned blurred and there are green,red and yellow patters visible from top to bottom on the left and right sides of screen.Advise me what to do next .The display is looking like running a 800*600 resolution on a 1920*1080 screen.I want to know If the LG customer centre accepts this under warranty.I didnt contact them. .
This is just a wild guess, but something inside probably came loose due to the shock. Take it back to LG and tell them that you don't know why this happened. I am pretty sure that drop damage is not covered.
Warranty doesn't cover accidental damage
can they find that it is dropped

My query is will they be able to find that the phone has been dropped, because many users reported this issue in a brand new device. Proper context for the problem is vertical patterns appearing and the display is blurred.
Service centre people accepted it

Today,I went to the service centre and they have accepted my Phone on warranty.Hope They wont refuse it afterwards
I too dropped my n4
Well i dropped my n4... The colors on screen changed... But i repaired it via display control. But is this a known issue for the n4?
I am not sure what happened to your device

I cannot understand what you are trying to say.Is your colours alone changed? My device resulted in vertical patterns of lines appearing on the display and the display is blurred.If the colours alone changed means you can re adjust it with display control,but better is go to service centre because there are chances of that happening again are quite possible.Some internel parts like the embedded digitalizer might have been became loose due to stock.If your phone has no visible scratches or broken glass,then you can go to service centre and say to them that "i dont know why this happened".

If you want a fully functioning device without defects,it is better to give them the device.I too had given them the device yesterday.Even if you had found solutions to the problem,there is no assurance that it wont happen again or some other problem might not occur. Arrange for an alternative phone.

Yesterday lg customer care people called and requested me to take the device which is repaired and fully functioning. Also they had installed 4.3 as per the request I sent them and it's very good. Touch responsiveness is rectified and working like a charm. I also find good battery life (an hour extra).

I considering to buy a good case or cover for my nexus 4 so that the it minimizes the drop impact. suggest me some good cases on Indian websites like Flipkart eBay.in home shop 18 jungles etc... I already have a screen protector

Purple and black stains on the display

Hello!
I bought the Galaxy S4 about two months ago and since then, I always used it with a screen protector and a case. But today, I found that many purple and black spots and smears have formed on the AMOLED. I have never dropped the phone or exposed it to heat. I tried rebooting and activated the LCD test mode, but none of them helped. Is it a hardware issue?
Can anybody tell me what's going on and help me?
Best regards,

Definitely hardware. Looks like the AMOLED itself. If you have warranty, I suggest you use it, because that's hardware, not software.
Hm, thanks for the help, although that certainly isn't good news... I will try to contact Amazon, let's hope they can help me with this problem.
As there is a large concentration of purple in the corner, I'd suggest that Samsung will try and tell you its been dropped and in that case, I don't think they will cover it under warranty.
I wish you luck!

Thank you! Now the purple stains have spread all over the screen, making it very hard to read anything on the screen. This seems to be a very odd issue if you ask me...

Odd indeed ... usually when a screen is damaged or faulty bars appear pixel burned altered colors and stuff ... if i saw that and didn't know i d tell u that u definetely someone spilled ink on the screen ... those marks are exactly like it ... hopefully they ll repair it ...
I think samsung should change it under warranty because clearly, screen is not broken and still degraded. So it's bad display.
But they might say it's caused by water damage which is not covered under warranty.
Let's hope for the best.
They do have a way to tell if it's water damage, there is a sticker which turns blue when wet, so if there is no damage to the case, they should change it fine... I have had good luck with Amazon regarding returning faulty items...

Thank you guys for all the support, I sent it back to Amazon and today I got the mail that they have got the package. Now someone's going to look if this is covered by standard warranty... Let's hope for the best indeed!
Hope they change it for you. As for sure seems the amoled has burned

You cannot fix a hardware problem with some app. The pixel is dead meaning you can consider it faulty screen. You really believe that app fixes it for real lol? If so alright good for you, but the rest of people that value the money they spent on this phone, I would recommend doing rma if they have dead pixels because they can increase in number as time passes. Do not feel sorry for lg and google. They make bellions. Keep rma till you feel you get a good unit. People pay premium prices and so should be what they get in return.

the only downside to rma with the nexus 5 is google makes you pay for a new phone, get that new phone and ship it back in the box they send you. not everyone has another $450 to drop on another 32gb model nexus 5
I have a stuck pixel that needs to be fixed. I'll run the app for 30 mins and post up the results in a bit

Hi
Dead or stuck pixels are faulty pixels. Flashing colours does not fix them, it is snake oil.
What usually happens is the process of running these apps for 30 minutes or so just heats up the display and some faulty pixels have connection faults that fix themselves with the stresses caused by expansion due to the heat. It is the same process that means gentle pressure can sometimes "fix" a faulty pixel if the fault is of a certain type on an LCD monitor. Pressure on mobile phones doesn't work as well as the front glass and display is designed not to flex under the pressure of a finger for obvious reasons.
If you are lucky, a pixel that starts working may continue to work, usually however it will just fail again at some point in the future. These faulty pixels that work for a while are the same ones that appear after an hour, a day or a week of using the phone after you thought you had a perfect screen. The fault was always there.
The best thing if you don't want faulty pixels and find them, is not to try and fix them, but to exchange the phone. Better to exchange it sooner rather than later.
Regards
Phil

Than you for this post. I have a very very small dead pixel in the center of my screen and it really doesn't bother me. I have to adjust my eyes and have a white background to see it.. Would this damage the screen further or do you think it would be fine? I don't want to have to get a replacement lol

Exchange it if it bothers you when you have a dead pixel, as your display should be as good as the money you paid imo

It is very unlikely to become any worse, so if you are okay with it no problem, you do not need to worried about more failing.
Generally LCD displays have an allowable number of dead/stuck pixels anyway. This is because otherwise the yield would be much lower as displays would be thrown out putting the price very high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

Thanks!! This helped with 3-4 stuck pixels i had. Eventually i'll do an RMA but for the time being it helped.

Regardless of the allowance, Google will RMA a phone with a single dead pixel, no questions asked.

Than app is quite good indeed, but unfortunately it doesn't support yet the full screen...
So it can't be used to detect dead-pixels which are located at the bottom of the screen.
I suggest you using this one, instead, which supports full-screen and can be used to detect dead-pixels and fix stuck-pixels:
search Perfect Pixel Checker on Google Play, because the board doesn't let me post links yet.

Yes it does. It absolutely will render on the entire screen. You just have to touch the screen & the status & nav bars will hide.
FWIW I did something similar to my 6 year old Apple Cinema HD display and it worked wonders ironing out stuck & burned pixels.
ran for over 12 hours and didn't fix any of the stuck pixels on both the devices I received that were faulty. RMA'ed first, and now waiting for replacement for my other one. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm.

screen retention (ghosting)

Anyone having issues with ghosting on there v20?? Any fix if so r is it Rom related. In on vs995 weta Rom 5.0.7 7.0
I'm starting to have issues with image retention on mine.
I'm stock unrooted.
I wonder if this is covered under warranty.. it's not super annoying but still.
I am having a curious issue with the second screen. Under bright light or sunlight, the top right corner of my screen starts to flicker. Well, the brightness increases and decreases. At the beginning quite slowly and then at a higher pace. However, when I'm indoors it doesn't seem to happen, or at least not too foten.
I've tried with and without automatic brightness. I have also tried installing Lux and the issue still persists.
What I realised is that the flickering comes from the backlight of the second screen, and if I disable it, problem solved. I might Have to give it a hard reset and hope is not a hardware problem.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I posted something similar a while ago on this topic. On my left side of the screen I could see what seemed to be screen burn or something. It would be a yellowish tint that would display the keyboard and part of a screen from the app. But it seemed to be the same app everytime. I never found a solution, I had to turn the phone in for a different reason. The ffc just stopped working and would freeze my phone up.

I haven't tried to take the phone to see if it can be fixed, but I have done some research and after reading many posts of people having either the G4,V10 and V20 most have been honored under warranty having their screens replaced but the problem comes back, some people claim having their screens more than one time.
I think I can live with it.. I don't wanna risk having the phone scratched or damaged somehow by the person making repairs (I like to keep my phones in mint condition) and I have a Huge OCD problem lol
I think joining XDA is an indicator of having a degree of OCD
Although I'd class mine as low I'd not be happy with the retention exhibited in those pics.
Thankfully my V20 hasn't presented any inherrent problems so far, just the odd temporary ones that happen when modding, but they're soon remedied.
Since @emdroidle gave us root for the H990ds its been great having the chance to open it up and explore more of its potential.

As far as I've read this is just a quirk of these LCD screens that LG uses on their phones. It should go away pretty quick as the only time mine shows up like that is when the screen brightness is all the way or very bright for like 5 or 10 minutes. Mine goes away after 5 or 10 minutes.
Download sfilter from play store activate it at 10 % and image ghosting will go away ?

I was looking into the Warranty as well and just read that it can take up to 4 weeks to inspect and repair a unit, so no mobile for maybe 4 weeks or more and I'm not even sure they will accept the retention as a fault of the mobile itself, but give me the blame for it as there are some minor surface scratches from normal daily use.
So it seems the warranty is pretty much to the bin and reading stories from others about sending there phones with issues does not really make me want to send it back either. Who knows how long, and if declined giving me the blame, what a waste of time it has been. feel like iv Wasted enough time already.
They told me to make a full factory reset, which would of cause not solve the issue at all as I already knew - but I did it and sent the video of the retention afterwards - then I was told to look for scratches and I send them a video and 2 pics of what I could find and now being pointed out that maybe if they find out it is from damage that it just might be send back. Damage... Got to give me a break.
I'm not even sure what they would do with it if they accept the fault - would they begin to toy around with it or would they send me a new phone out of the box.
Is it worth it or not... I'm thinking...
For a +500 Euro phone - retention/ghosting should not happen and yet it does. First phone I ever experiences this issue.
I think I'm on the Whine wagon at the moment, sorry guys - just a little annoyed.

I did ended up replacing my phone, not under LG warranty though I paid 60 bucks to Sprint to get it swapped. I thought it was better than sending out my phone to LG and wait weeks..
Convenience was the what made me toss the 60 bucks for a new unit.
Though a month later I switched to T-Mobile and upgraded to the V30+
They paid the rest of my installments with Sprint which was half the cost of 2 V20's and also got to keep them.
I use my V20 as a multimedia device now.

Nice - seems like I'm not going to get much from the warranty on the screen issue and still not sure if I should send it back as I'm afraid they do something stupid to it. Well, if my phone melted down at some point I would still buy an V20 in replacement. Battery and SD card is just a win for me even with all the phones faults. Just so sad that LG did not fix a better screen for the V20 in regards of getting Ghosting/Retention.
Anyway - I just tried one of the fixes I found without jail breaking the phone and it does help a little but far from solved the issue at all. I have ghosting/retention all over the screen now and most likely just going to get worse over time as it has from the beginning of it.
I think the image retention is a bug. It randomly happens on mine. At first I thought it was a crappy screen but then it went away. It will even show dark image retention like using xda. And most of my retention around the inside 1/4 of the screen.

Sadly did not work here. Still have ghosting. 20% won't do either - il try 30%.
Ok I was getting ghosting which has been getting worse and wore the past month but in the past 2 weeks its been getting really bad on both displays, ontop of that my phone was dying in 20-25% range and going up to 100% charge just to drop like 10 minutes later to like 50% probably just the battery idk
I sent my phone in and here is what they marked on the warranty page
Symptom: Software failure
Repair: Download new software
I honestly hope they don't think its because I wasn't on the latest version of android because I kept putting it off or i'm gonna be pissed, especially since my warranty ends 3/18/2018 and these 2 issues have slowly been getting worse.
Hi!
Here is a working fix if your device is rooted.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lg-v20-screen-burn-fixed-t3661631
so is this an LG LCD specific issue ? I am just curious when I switch phones should I consider AMOLED / OLED or stick with LCD but maybe a different vendor ?

The culprit behind this is low contrast with high blue-output or cooler color temperature. If you are rooted, you can easily tone down the blue channel by a count of 20 (out of 256) and all is good. Also you don't have to use the phone as maximum brightness all the time, the screen itself is way too bright even for the least level.
2ndly, this ghosting is temporary and develops over time of use. It goes away for LCD.
OLED screens suffer from the permanent ghosting aka burn-in, though its coming over time is delayed by quality and improvement of the manufacturing process. Honestly, OLED's have higher saturation, more vibrance, higher contrast which makes them appeal to human eye but it comes at a cost.

Oh cool. thanks for explaining that! I am not rooted... 1. too nervous of causing issues after root .. 2. mine isn't rootable (on most recent security patch)..
so is there anything I can do to help with the blue output?

Send it back for repair if its under warranty.
Yes and the best part. I have never seen such fast replacement approval on flipkart.
May be flipkart is also know.

I kept all low by setting 60 fps display no vibration.
Anyways new update. Display also flickering now.
May be mine is defective.
Even Flipkart didn't even ask simple question for replacement directly approved. May be they also know about the device.
