Screen problems more than just red - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi I pre ordered the phone received on April 20th all fine until today April 22nd screen developed severe red tint which is still evident on all screen settings adaptive normal etc and also does not diminish when adjusting red balance to zero.
Screen with always on display time etc which is normal solid black is now bright red!
I have restarted the phone and also full reset all appears OK for the first minute then resorts back to red screen and tint.

Is the blue light filter toggled on?

Naw that ain't right dude I would be pissed...

No already checked that but switched on and then off no difference.

Dod you drop it? Just curious?

Could you take a less blurry picture of the lock screen? It seems strange that the numbers still appear white?

Factory reset then see what happens, If it still does it, time for an exchange.

[Q] Screen Was Fine, Suddenly Turned Green and Faint?

Hi,
My Nexus 5 was working fine, and hasn't been dropped/damaged, but the screen has suddenly gone green and very faint. It still works but I can't figure out what the issue is. My guess is hardware?
When I say green and faint, I don't mean just a little bit, I mean a green/yellow hue all over the screen, and faint like someone has applied super high contrast in a photo editor.
Any ideas?
Phone is stock, not rooted or modified in any way.
Thanks
Leakage?

Sorry do you mean light leakage?
The phone now has yellow borders a few mils thick on all four sides, in addition to a green hue.
Perhaps
Still under warranty?

I have the same issue as of a week ago. Except mine is pink borders and a blue tint. It was fine one night, plugged it in to charge at bed time, took it off the next morning and it was stuffed!! After a day it came right but then stuffed up again a few days after that.
I'm guessing its the display but don't know why. Looks like you can get Chinese replacement ones for about 60AU$, but the procedure looks pretty full on.
Just to update, as per poster above the phone has now returned to normal after a few days. Very strange. Factory reset, cache clear etc etc didn't work, just one day started working again.
Have the same problem
I am also having the same problem. I was charging the phone on my laptop. I took it out and suddenly the screen had a bluish - pink tinge - prominent around the corners but affecting the entire screen.
Did you find any solution?
Yep as above it just righted itself within a few days. Very strange, never seen a phone have an apparent hardware issue that's unresolved by factory reset etc then just miraculously lose the problem...but that's what happened!
It definitely has to do with the display.
i changed my original display screen as it was broken with a cheap one and since then it always gets green and pink tint while charging. After sometime it turns to the normal color.
Same problem pink/blue tint over night
I bought a used nexus5 just 2 days back but it looks stunningly scratchless so its probably refurbished I guess. Any how, I put it on charge the next night of purchase with a heavy duty charger that came with my Tablet its rating is 2Amp. In morning the phone had this blue/pink tint.
Is it a problem or will it go back as most people are saying? As long as I keep on using proper charger will it come back?
OR
Should I go back and strangle the seller...?

screen issue

Today my screen made some funny stuff for about a minute the screen sides are black and random colors were splashed on the screen (blue, red, green etc..) the screen was half messed up and the other half where you could actually see the UI the colors were all faded. This stayed for about a minute and then returned to normal.
I'm worried now that this is the end of the life of this screen. Anybody had this issue? Note that the phone useage was normal not even heavy and it did not drop or anything of that sort

Sudden appearance of yellow tinge on Pixel 3a

Hello All!
I have been using my Pixel 3a for 5 months and have absolutely loved it.
Although last night when I was using it in a decently lit environment, on 0% brightness, the screen went into a shade of yellow tinge , kind of like the night light, but not entirely. Now I'm not sure if this is a software glitch or a hardware problem. I tried booting it into the safe mode to check if any third party apps are causing it, but no luck, the yellow tinge still prevails.
At higher brightness this tinge is visible lesser, but i think it's still there, just the high brightness makes it a little better.
Anyone had this problem before? I'm really hoping this is a software glitch and looking to solve it all by myself. It's definitely not possible for me to go visit a Google Pixel store at times like these to get it fixed. Fingers crossed!
Kind of sounds like night light under settings>display>night light. I have mine set to enable from sunset to sunrise. Removes blue hues to help you rest better.
Whoops NVM you already called out night light. Sorry man not sure. Maybe a bedtime routine?

Green Screen

Hey guys, new to XDA here.
My phone is currently experiencing green screen. It started 2 days ago. I have been using dark mode since I got this phone last year and two days ago I noticed that the screen color isnt as vibrant. Imagine a black screen with a bit of white color. I also noticed that the lower right of my screen got really hot.
Then I restarted my phone a couple of times and I also noticed that during the Huawei animation, green spots started to display on the screen. Also, the whole screen starts to green when unlocking using fingerprint.
I turned off my screen the qhole day and opened it before I went to sleep and the issue went away. But right now, the screen would randomly flicker and display green color.
Im not sure if this is a display issue. But I have read that Mate 20 suffers this as well. I wanted to ask here first before I bring this to the service center.
Anyone experiencing this as well? How did you fix it?
Thanks!
Ok, so my phone is experiencing the greenscreen right now and I dont think it will disappear anytime soon. I did, however, install the Device Info HW app on my phone. There is this 'shell_back' on the 'Thermal' tab that had risen to 41 degrees. Any idea what that is?

yep, if the high brightness mode has been enabled (by light sensor or custom software) since the June update.
I am on a custom rom which has february firmware.Not enabled HBM.And phone was water damaged 2 months ago.Can it be hardware damage?
I just had my phone returned from Google after being repaired for this issue and the green flickering has begun again.
More and more reports coming in.
Well that's fun... My screen is defective
Started noticing the other night that when I was on certain sites that I would get streaks down the screen. They moved with the text on the screen and it was worse with white backgrounds. Now when my screen goes on or off, the edges flash green...

It's ridiculous.. this should not be happening. I had it repaired and it's still flickering.
