Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Green Screen problem

SAMSUNG YOU NEED TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM!

[@srikrishnanp8096]

I have the same problem ever since the March Security Patch update for Note 9. I request you all to post your concerns at the community or make sure we are heard.... so Samsung could escalate this and get it fixed by it's team. This is not a hardware issue as almost so many people are facing it right around the same time. This is something that they broke worldwide I believe. Please post it, the issue is aggressively occurring every now and then. I have tried and reached out everywhere but they seem to ignoring our claims. But this is happening to all and they must know it has been something that's software caused and not hardware contributed. I am a lite user and I have just crossed 1 year of warranty and it is so disappointing that I paid 55000 to buy this shit. Please escalate this everyone who is facing this.

[@ShermanChin]

I think it would be smart to approach the press as well if Samsung doesn't respond.

There is an application named OLED saver we can fix the colours to a certain amount by this application.for the new buyers better to think twice before buying a new samsung.

[@Supun5641]

same issue on s8. But it comes after water damage. Please do this settings 1. When display came like this go outside and get more light condition to the display 2. After your display wark like normal 3. Then swipe down your control panel and going to the display Brightness settings 4. And turn off the Adaptive Brightness option 5. And you can control display brightness, set it high ( you want use in outside )or set it lower( in inside)

[@N1k1nk0l]

I'm having the same problem with my s9+. My screen is green and I can barely see anything to use it. When I turn it off, the screen stays completely black. I can hear and feel it vibrate and the Blue light will come on at the top but the start up menu doesn't show, when it reboots I can't see the little Android, I can't see anything. Not even the screen to reset / reboot / clear the cache and after about a minute, the Green screen comes back on. I'm beyond frustrated! Especially since it is literarily at the 2yr mark with Verizon and this contract is up. It's almost as though it was designed to do that. Ï also seems that this issue is very common. Maybe this should be brought to Samsung's attention. If anyone has any solution besides getting a new phone, please share.

[@jeredrajyaacob4959]

Im using the s9 and i have the exact same problem as yours 😢

[@tracyfam85]

Same. My telco contract is 4 mths left and my note 9 give me this problem and I couldnt stop thinking : why now. All was good, love the battery life, the big screen, the s pen and all the special features, but this problem is really a turn-off. So dissappointed now that I dont know what phone should I get next. And I am using my old note 4, the problem is the battery drain like running water.

Thanks for the update! Good news for those in India! 👍

[@davidlevine5773]

I'm pretty sure it is a thermal problem. Turn it off and leave it off for a couple of hours. It will turn on normally. Also, I put it in my refrigerator for an hour while it was on, and it was functioning normally when I took it out. Perhaps a heat sink has come loose, or a part is going into thermal runaway.

[@ShermanChin]

Not for me because it still didn't work the next day. However, as you suggested, the OLED might have been damaged by the heat as I was playing a game at that time when it occured. And since this seems to affect the Exynos variant more as can be seen in the comments here, we can assume that the Mali cores produce more heat than their Snapdragon Adreno counterparts.

[@lynxlim1998]

I think it is a hardware issue caused by the march software update, probably because of the update that caused the software to do something to the screen and it permanently broke the screen, u can only fix it by contacting Samsung service center to get the screen change since it was hardware issue, but since the issue wasn't the users' fault, Samsung should take the responsibility to fix our screen without charging us since so many people having the same problem, just like what they did for the note 7 exploding problems, but I think samsung is ignoring the claims right now to avoid the cost of fixing all the problem's screen. I have a s9+ having the exact problem since March patch.

we cannot say that before we can prove it. use 2 cellphones of the same series, one LCD is normal, the other is green screen. change the lcd with a green screen to a normal machine, does it stay green or does the color become normal? from there we will know, the problem is in software or hardware after we update. if their technician don't know this method to test, maybe i'm the one who smarter than them to find cause of this issue .

[@pandacongolais]

Same here. Began on a 2 years old device. Can't tell if it's HW or SW problem. I would say it's more SW than HW : - phone in sleep - press power to wake --> green screen - press power to sleep - tap the bottom of he screen 2, 3 or 4 times - the phone wakes up - screen is normal So far, 100 % success doing this. Samsung, do something FREE, or lose clients by 1 000 000

[@ShermanChin]

If you see the problem getting worse after awhile, it is a hardware problem indicating that the screen is dying.

[@pandacongolais]

@@ShermanChin So far, when the problem occurs, it's not always worse than the previous occurrence. Sometime, it's almost uniform, nearly the same green everywhere. And sometimes, you can read few parts of the screen; it's difficult, it's not usable for sure, but it's "less green". What's puzzling me the most is that by simply taping the screen bottom instead of pressing the power button, it goes back to normal at once.

everyone here who is still curious, actually this problem is a hardware or software problem, I have a suggestion for friends who usually repair cellphones, use 2 cellphones of the same series, one LCD is normal, the other is green screen. change the lcd with a green screen to a normal machine, does it stay green or does the color become normal? from there we will know, the problem is in software or hardware after we update. please help for all friends here.

not only note 9. most of 8,9,10 series got this issue after update latest os. and they named these series are flagship products and sell it in high price. what a shame with my note 9. in future, i give up with their phones.

[@budisantosoalex7464]

mine happened just now, what I do is to change brightness to almost minimum level and the color are back and screen responsive again. Raise the brightness a bit more and it turns green again. UNCHECK adaptive brightness, I think that is the one causing the screen unresponsive since it turns green when brightness is raised. Last, how to access brightness when screen is unresponsive, use double click power button to access camera (YES CAMERA WORKS!!!) altough a bit green ofcourse, the access the slide menu above from camera and reduce brightness. hope this helps...

[@budisantosoalex7464]

On 2nd note, this already explained here tho kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2GQn6Oai5KIaMU Some commenter suggest installing OLED Saver and my screen can be bright again without turning green. So this is clearly software issue with the latest update Samsung really done it now...

[@ShermanChin]

This is a different issue. Your screen shouldn't be as green as mine according to some other comments here if it is the software issue.

[@budisantosoalex7464]

no, it is real green and unresponsive, except for turning off and restarting. really like broken screen, 1:34 is really similar. though your video is 2019, should not happened yet the faulty update so yea might be different. but for people facing this nowadays, likely because of samsung's faulty update hope this helps everyone especially on this lockdown

[@ShermanChin]

Thanks for the solution! I hope it helps some people. Please do keep us updated on whether it is a permanent fix. My green screen wasn't caused by the update and even a factory reset didn't fix it. The screen replacement did the trick and they didn't touch the software at all.

The Malaysian version is the slower and less power efficient Samsung Exynos version.

Same issue cropped up on my Exynos Note 9 last week, the device is 1yr and 5 months old and has no physical damage from a drop or any harsh useage. Samsung says it is out of warranty and I will need to cough up the entire screen replacement cost, currently trying to escalate my case to someone senior in the company to see if they can the screen fixed free of cost as it is certainly a poor quality screen / assembly process that has caused the failure.

@@ShermanChin Update: Spoke to multiple people at their offices here, they tried to pass it off initially as damage due to a drop or excess pressure applied to the screen. But I kept pushing my case that it was due to a manufacturing defect and cited examples on online forums and KZbin videos and that other users such as yourself have experienced similar issues within the first year and a half of use. They agreed to look into it my claim, I sent my device in for an inspection by their quality control/technical team and they replaced the screen free of cost, but had to pay a nominal amount towards taxes that they couldn't waive. New display seems okay now, will have to wait and watch how long it lasts.

[@DIvadxat]

@@avinashprabhu5836 Based on what I've read this appears to be an issue that crops up in say 1 in 1000 devices or so (not sure on the exact statistics, but it is not a widespread issue therefore not much attention from media and others unlike the Note 7 explosions which was quite serious) You will have to demonstrate your case to them and prove that you've not caused any physical damage to the device that has caused this issue.

[@sourwords1808]

Sorry to say this, but green screen issue is a hardware fault not something an update can fix. One of the updates from Samsung is causing the CPU to over heat and in return permanently damaging the oled screen. Not only that but also compromising the battery as well. The only fix is the replacement of both the oled screen and battery. This repair is entirely the fault of Samsung due to a faulty update that over works the CPU capacity. Therefore my advice is for you to return your device back to Samsung and lodge an assessment request. They charge a small fee for the assessment, but the entire repair should be compensated by Samsung. Be firm and keep the pressure via emailing them to insist on Samsung covering the repair costs. My Note 9 is almost 3 years old when green screen issue happened. They fixed the entire thing free of charge. But I kept firm and didn't let them bully me into charging me for the repairs, which was their fault in the first place. I must admit, my phone despite its age, is in perfect condition. Not a scratch on it. Which I know contributed winning my argument for the repairs. So if you have psychical damage, I doubt you will have a chance. Good luck to all who will give this successful method a go.

[@ShermanChin]

Thanks for your explanation and possible strategy to approach Samsung!

I did quite a research and I found out the truth ... The truth is after the July update in my s9 plus the phone started heating alot and those who were using the phone intensively ex: playing pubg etc ...due to overheating the proximity/light senor which is located on top right of the screen got faulty/damaged and hence this flickering is happening....just cover the proximity sensor and then unlock your phone the screen will be normal 100% it happened with me too...I accidentally removed the phone from my pocket and the screen was normal again ...Thank me if you can resolve it and sue samsung for the filthy update.

They fixed mine by replacing the AMOLED screen.
