S8+ Screen worries - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hey guys
Any of you with the s8 or s8+ can you help
Type into Google the word red or purple, click on images and tell me if anything happens
When I do this, half my screen turns purple or for red I just get tons of weird lines, the same when reading black text on white background
The issue disappears once I get past half brightness
Do I have a faulty LCD??

Here you can see the black lines under the text

This one you can see there are 3 black lines that go down the screen. But the camera picks it up best on the green nav bar

That seems like a bad screen. Try a factory reset and see if it goes away. If it does then it's somethiing you have installed causing the problem. If it is still there then it is a faulty screen.

Mine does NOT do that. I am using auto brightness. Sounds like something messed up with the display. Sry

Mine is on auto brightness as well and it DOES NOT do that. Sorry, but that shouldn't be normal.

My phone doesn't do this. Looks like a bad screen to me.

no nothing at all

Cannot replicate, faulty display. Get a replacement.

Mine doesn't do that either it's deffienetly a faulty screen you have but I would do a factory reset first.

Absolutely faulty display, advise change it as soon as possible.

Mine does NOT do this either. Swap it out.

1bright pixel only shown if only im using black wallpaper/background
ok then well i suggest using the warranty if you still have it
if not, and a replacement will cost too much, then try to avoid it as it doesnt effect the usability of the device. ive heard this is an ongoing issue with the i900
best thing is to ignore it

[Q] Anyone have any dead pixels?

I have had my Tab 2 for a week now, and already it has a single dead pixel on the upper right hand side of the screen. Its not so noticeable when the screen is white, but when there is something black showing, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

That would be a stuck pixel. Have you tried stuck pixel remover videos? They can help.
in the case of dead pixel...
can it spread? I mean, when it's only one at first..can it spread into many dead pixels? just askin
beside dead pixel have you got yellow display issue?
my friend in indonesia has this problem.
he just realize his tab was yellow lcd when his brother friend has gtab2 and compare with his gtab2

I did, but it didn't seem to help any. :-/
I went through 3 tabs before I finally got a 4th one with perfect screen. I initially brought the 1st one back to BestBuy for exchange, then opened the replacements before I left and checked the screens. Even the sales guy was amazed that we had 3 bad ones in a row, lol. So yeah, seems like in order to keep costs down. Samsung kinda cut corners on the screen quality... Exchange it until you get a perfect screen!

even once? it rarely happens but kinda annoying..i also have that bright millisecond flash on the left edge every now and then
yeah this looks familiar, happens only if I fiddel with gpu voltage and speed..
the white flash is something everybody get from time to time
Just had this happen on mine, running CM10.1...not sure why, maybe overheating...

It happens to my P6800 from time to time though very rare.
I have not yet found out why and when happens it.
My guess is that it happens while surfing in stock browser
My device w/ PA 2.55 JB v4.1.2 custom rom modded by Daniel.
I have to admit that the both Androguide and Daniel made awsome job and let us have such a gift.
Anyone else?
i'm also have this problem and since that my acren look not have a good color depth o dont know if this just my imagination anyway mine happen when i played 10 pin bowling any auggestion on how to fix the issue?
Today I face this issue when working with stock file manager
Any solution/reason yet?
No solution yet, would you mind edit your post and supply what rom ure using?
I can trigger the inverted colors more often when uv the gpu, maybe a voltage glitch??
Normaly I experience it once every 2 months or so, but others might get it often..
hey guys that issue i posted above has no fix yet since it only appears rarely
i thinks it's a hardware glitch..after reflashing the latest ics fw i haven't had it again

[Q] Graphic problems with p5100 10.1"

Hi,
I got this weird problem and im not sure is this a hardware problem or not. For example. when using menus with white background, the background goes partly blue. Sometimes the graphic error is only blue lines in some part of the white background.
but when checking one option in same menu the background turns normal or atleast there is some change in the background. So these errors reacts only when changing options. And theyre always in the same position when going the same menu.
Also when using camera. the view is messed up a bit. there is a clear line somewhere in the picture when going dark to bright. With my english its hard to explain especially when i dont have any idea what is causing this problem.
Below are two attachments that explains the problem much clearer than i can write:

}
And before you ask. Yes, it has dropped and i have replaced the glass. But i got it with broken glass so i dont know was it like this before it dropped and the previus owner couldnt tell either.
Any possible solutions?
Thank you in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue, just for the heck of it I would open it up and check the ribbon cable to the digitizer/screen, it could be loose.
Pp.
Checked it. Same problem. Tried to change brightness level, hard reset, rooting etc with no luck.
Its just so weird that in some situations the screen looks totally normal. only these few situations cause errors in the screen.
Hmmm, there are dialer codes that are used on phones that run a series of tests to check screen performance and output, don't know if this can be done on a tablet, but I would research it.
The only other time I heard of this was on a phone that recovered from falling in a toilet, the phone was dismantled and cleaned and assembled and it worked fine for over a year, the only glitch was an occasional color spasm on the screen similar to what you discribe.
Pp.
Thanks for the tip! Need to look for those codes when i get back home. I removed the logic board and cleaned it with denat. alcohol. No visible damage at least! trying to assembly it back later today. I decided to order a new LCD flex cable. Its the cheapest part to change.
No luck with the codes i found. after cleaning still same graphical problems. Now i can only wait the new flex cable and hope it will fix those errors.
Anyways thanks for replys and suggestions. :good:

There is 2 kind of green screen from what i was found

hi guys
i want to share my experience bug. there is 2 kind of green display, one of is someone already post on xda seems display defect. but what i got is bug i think.
you can see from my picture green bar on the top will appear in some condition only and it will disappear in home screen only when you using another Launcher. but in another Launcher it will only show up in recently app menu (different location). so far i can say if you meet same with me do not panic and make conclusion, try another method first like what i did.
my conclusion is there is bug around home things because its not appear when you playing game or watching movie

Not sure if it's really not visible or I'm blind, but I can't see the green bar.
The fact you've posted a screenshot that shows no issue, whilst you see an issue on your device, would heavily indicate that the issue is hardware based
