It is 5 April 2024. This started happening to my note 9 after I dropped it last week. It happens when it is warm after watching a lot of KZbin videos or playing games. If I let it cool down, it works fine. I learned that if you turn on "always on display", the dim numbers on the display keep the screen working perfectly fine every time you unlock your phone. I suspect it is a connector from the screen to the motherboard that must've gotten loose and is causing this. I will take apart my phone since the rear glass is cracked and disconnect/ connect all the screen ribbon cables to see if it fixes the issue.

[@willypeshd1348]

same as mine but i cant see anything

[@bridgetbarnett6423]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

[@PietriGuitars]

It is now 8 June 2024. The issue has gotten progressively worse. I replaced the back glass and disconnected all the screen connectors and reconnected them to no avail. The only way I can see the screen is by manually setting the brightness to the maximum and disabling adaptive brightness. I ordered a generic Note 9 OLED screen on ebay and will replace it withing the next few days. I'll report back once I replace the screen with results.

[@PietriGuitars]

So I replaced the screen and it works great now. It is a generic screen from Amazon with the metal frame for $140 or so. Two things I've noticed... the Hard Press Home button feature doesn't work anymore and the S-pen doesn't charge anymore. The S-pen works as a stylus but no longer has Bluetooth functionality. Also, this screen is a bit smaller then the original. The built in bezels are thicker than the original screen.

[@jo.scorpio2010]

I have this issue recently all of a sudden even though I didn't update the software. Just power off the phone and power it on again. It doesn't work if you do a restart, have to switch it off.

[@harmsaircon2255]

if you can manage to navigate the phone, go to settings and change the following: 1. immediately turn up the brightness, this will allow you to see onscreen even if the phone display goes green. 2. Turn of the adaptive display to ensure the phone does not set the brightness automatically. 3. turn on the "always display option" to always display info on your locked screen. Now when your screen is locked, tap the screen first and then proceed to unlock the phone This seems to sort out the colour problem everytime, just a nuisance to have to tap the screen before every unlock... this, however, makes the phone usable again and proves it is a software issue and not hardware.

Had the same issue with my note9, it's a bug on phone's sensor, nothing to do with the hardware. How to fix: - Turn OFF the adaptive brightness - Turn ON Always On Display, set it to Show Always - Lock your phone - Wait till AOD clock appears - Cover phone's sensor, just like the man did in this video - Unlock the phone using your fingerprint - Everything back to normal Good luck In my country prior March 15th, for this type of problem customers can get free display replacement if they bring their device to Samsung service center, even though the warranty has expired (thumbs up for Samsung). However from now on, they plan to charge customers 50% of total cost for display replacement (thumbs down for Shitsung).

[@Lucas-ck1po]

Guys, from reading the comments I've concluded this is a software update issue, not hardware. I have as S9+ its been nearly three years now, everything has been absolutely flawless until now. Today i was at work and started browsing and i noticed it was getting hotter than usual, it never gets hot like this, even after extended use or charging (i dont even use any fadt charge, i totally baby it) I got worried and noticed that after disabling and enabling blue light filter back, the colors got weird. Blue ligjt filter always had this nice, kind of crepuscular orangeish tone to it and the screen has always been very sharp, but after turning it on again it became some sort of a light greenish light, looks weird as hell now, with or without the filter. Mind it that this phone handles even gps use on Waze or Google Maps like a champ, it doesn't get too hot... But now just to type this comment here it seems that it is stressing the hell out of the battery and it already lost like 5% of it just to type. It happened after a couple days after the last update. Its not just your brand news phones guys, my S9+ is also going hot and greenish/greyish... What the fuck Samsung!? Fix this or I'll go something else next! Its been flawless all this time! Now everybody's phones goes crap like that?

[@seanlemaster19]

What makes me specially disappointed with this is not the phone itself, is the fact that i really took good care of it all this time, only charged it between 30% to 85% of the battery to maximize its life, whore good protective screens and cases... and the phone responded to it all, it wasn't the phone or me, it was a Samsung's fucked up update that screwed it up. If i only knew before they would upload a "virus" to ruin my phone i wouldn't have minded taking care of it at all, in fact i would have picked another brand. And i thought only Apple where assholes to fuck people's phones deliberately, but Samsung too? Im so disappointed right now...

[@alanramone4263]

[@Lucas-ck1po]

@@alanramone4263 Not in this way man, this was not an Oled burn issue or overtime problem. When an Oled or Amoled screen burns out, it doesn't happen evenly, you can detect more or less affected spots on it, like burning in the screen small circles where your apps normally sit on the screen. In this case, its an entire color shift in the entire screen after a "security update" took place, not to mention that 3 year old Note 8's and 9's around the world alongside with many brand new S10's, S20's and even the S20 Ultra displayed the same issue after the patch update took place however since these new phones are still under store warranty they rushed to release a fix patch for the current flagship models out there to avoid returning items, the same cannot be told about models out of warranty. Fun fact: samsung supplies high end screens for other phone brands. Doing a quick search i found that many other phone brand users whose phones have high end oled displays had the same issues immediately after recent updates. This happened in late 2018 and now twice in 2020; march, right after the S20 lineup releae and June. In my country this new patch only came late November. It's not the hardware failling but the recent android updates are interfering with their functions. Whether or not it is intentional we won't be able to tell. My S9+ has been nothing but wonders for almost three years but immediately after a software update 26/Nov it went bad. And im not the only one. And... they also released patch fixes for the S20 ultra and Note 20 ultras immediately, S10's too right after... if it was a hardware going bad a patch wouldn't be able to fix it.

[@omegavladosovich6757]

I don't know for sure, but I'm afraid this is a hardware problem. Something's wrong with how the display is starting up, not the panel itself. If you power the display off and on too quickly it triggers the green screen. Fixes like using always-on display only temporarily reduce the issue by adding a gap when the screen is off. If you're in a call and using the proximity sensor it easily triggers it if you move your head around.

This my third strike with a Samsung phone. I have this S9 which I bought from a trustworthy friend and it worked incredibly well for a week. It was my alternative to replacing my iPhone SE with the new iPhone SE 2020 model. The S9 was a cheaper and what appeared to be a better choice as opposed to shelling out the money for a new iPhone SE. I was impressed by the S9 but then disappointed when the incredibly crisp and bright display went green and grainy and dim shortly after updating to the latest software. I am not an Apple fan but experience tells me that they are the better or at least most reliable of two evils. I tried to roll back the update following a youtube video but it always fails. Finding out the S9 isn't compatible with the DJI Drone software I use is another major disappointment. Enough time wasted on this.

Activate "Always on Display" feature. Unlock the screen only after "Always on Display" is on the lock screen. You will see the familiar vibrant colorful Samsung Galaxy Note 9 display after this fix. 🙏

I am assuming it is a software bug introduced after the March Security update related to the "Always on Display" feature on Samsung Galaxy phones.

No - Since Factory Reset will not help where the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 March Android update itself has the bug. Factory Reset will work only if you have got some corrupted setting on top of the update.

THANK YOU ! I have the same issue in May 2020, after the March and May patches - its frustrating - Its only 11 months old - and when I went to the Samsung shop , they service guy told me it was a screen damage (SGD 315 repair) and denied a software issue even though I explained to him there are similar cases online. What a clueless #@$%. Thats the problem with Samsung - always slow to act and always in denial and cover ups Another friend had similar issue - and screen went black after 24 hours) The latest software patch also destroyed the menus for the edge menu - brilliant high IQ patch

It's not their fault it's because of AMOLED screen type it depends on how much you put your brightness level and how long you use your phone with high brightness. iPhones can have similar problem too cause from iPhone X they use AMOLED screen technology as well P.S. this shown in this video is a software problem and Samsung's fault but you said your problem occured one year ago

In my case. I turned on Always on Display, so when i tap the screen clock etc shows, then after unlocking, everything works perfect. But in my case phone not alwys unlock with fucked screen. Anyway, this was not cheap phone when I bought it and I expect that everything works perfect for that kind of money...... I have just tested a little bit more and it looks like there is better solution. You can select Always show, show main screen button (sorry for translation) and (I hope) it will never broke again. You have to wait around one second after locking phone for this button to show, before unlocking

[@yoyonme8143]

This method work for my S9+

[@jojongakpakecelena4514]

How about your note after update software? Fixid?

[@Sn0wyyyx3]

I have found a workaround that works for me: Well, I got myself a S9+ with a more severe variant of this same problem.. After changing OS to LineageOS (gave it a try, to check it if was any samsung update that broke the display) I ended up checking that it was a indeed a display fault (the update broke the screen? don't really know). Since I don't really want to be turning things on and off everything I use the damn phone, just so I can get the screen alright, I got myself a software workaround that may be helpful to some people facing the same problem as me and don't have warranty to get it fixed by Samsung, so here it goes: I noticed that, when I unlock the phone, the display itself works alright but with "greenish" colors and sometimes artifacts and found out that, If I set my screen to 100%, after 1 second, the screen fixes itself and goes to normal, and after that I can set the screen brightness to whatever percentage I want, that the display will work 100% until I lock and unlock it again. What I did after this discovery? Downloaded Macrodroid from Playstore, a free macro app, and just programmed the phone to this procedure automatically every time I unlocked the phone. The macro should contain the following actions: Trigger - Screen Unlock Actions - 1: Wait 1 second 2: Set Brightness to 100% (Set "slider value" to 100% and don't mark the other two options that will show up neither the auto brightness, just change the slider value.) 3: Wait 2 second (This timer is required because if you try to set the value right after changing the display to 100% brightness, the screen will still show up the greenish overlay). 4: Set Brightness to XX% (Same rules as action 2, but this time you can set the slider value to any value that you want, I set mine to 20% since it's the brightness that I like to use daily, but you can change to whatever you like). No constraints needed. Save the macro and turn it on. Now, you will notice that after the unlock, without you touching anything, the screen will automatically go to 100%, the display will go back to normal colors and functioning, and then it will go again automatically to the brightness you want to use. I hope I was clear enough and that this helps anyone that may be facing the same issue. (Sorry if some sentences don't sound right, English it's not my main language)

[@productionapostle1298]

So I took all the fixes and tried them.. its 100% a heat issue but I think samsung pushed it into our phones.. the OLED saver helps.. turning off adaptive display helps putting your phone on the lowest resolution helps. Keeping the brightness down low helps.. and make sure its not on performance mode. when it does happen I can put it in front of my window AC unit and cool it off and it will correct. Now I have been on Oreo since the phone has been released and use package disabler pro and froze 119 apps everything that would not break the phone.. even Bixby is frozen and will not pop up .. so my battery is incredibly good and my phone would never heat up until recently about a month and half ago I transferred all my videos from my phone to my computer and it started after that.. so some app from the play store that was updated made this issue or this was written in the original code to mess our phones up.. can't happen to everyone
