Z Fold 2 Pink Line of Death - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers

the infamous Pink line, appeared on my Z Fold 2 outer Screen, less than 2 years old, and it happened 2 to 3 weeks, after updating to One UI 5...
any other Z Fold 2 users have same unfortunate encounters ?
now, thinking if roll back the firmware will remove that pink line...

now it's a hardware issue , rolling back won't fix it , sorry !

From today onwards my Fold 2 also shows a pink vertical line on the outer screen.Will replacing the digitizer solve the issue? What will be the cost for this?I am in India.

I think that yes but tell to service and ask him for costs.
Admittedly it's not update problem but it's known from one year or more

Thanks for reply. I still stay with A11 and Ui 3.1.1 and consider update to A13 to maybe little fresher my phone but after you answer, few themes about green/pink ( even from 2022 year) lines after any update probably I stay with old android and enjoy good working phone.
Admittedly few months ago I remember that my girlfriend S20 after any update and few days her S20 screen got dead green screen. Unfortunetly warranty end half year after this case.
Maybe it's only case but after experience samsung's phone from S2 series (S20 girfriend) and users opinion about aware aging products with software help I have strong opinion about similar situation like even your.

Thanks for answer. I update my Fold 2 by OTA from A11 thru A12 to A13 and I can confirm for better smoot, especially in message app where a had lag 1-2 sek (A11) and now lag is a lot of smaller) A13. OS looking very similar to newer FOlds like F3 and F4.
After few days I am pleased, don't have any problems. Everything running good, no restarts or other issues

I got green vertical line after march 23 update. The only solution seems to be screen replacement. Service center quoted ₹11,150.
External vendor quoted ₹10250

About "New" oneplus one

Hi to everyone, after a sad story with a LG Nexus 4 that i bought from a guy i am back to my old (and dear) Galaxy Nexus but now, he is totally messed up... i can't use it anymore..
So i am planning to buy the oneplus but i read on the internet about the annoying touch screen bug (that is a hardware bug, so i think it is very hard to fix with a update or whatever).
At this point, the question is: the new stock (I mean the new production line of smartphone) of OnePlus one, still have this bug ?
I love oneplus one, i really love this phone.. great designe, great components, great price but i am very scared about the touchscreen bug!
Also, i won't wait the new oneplus becouse it will be for sure pricier that the One and it will be released theorically the last 3 month of 2015...
Thank you for any suggestions
A presto

I bought 1+1 last week and i dont have this touchscreen issues, afaik only minority of users are concerned by this problem, for me its working smooth on stock and custom roms [emoji106]
I did not have the touch screen issue for almost half a year. As far as I can explain it started happening when the temperature outside got warmer, even if it is much colder again, the issue persists.
I need to flash the new Ak kernel with the new touchscreen firmware, which has been released yesterday and check if the problem still exists....
But what I wanted to tell you is that I did not have the touchscreen problem first.
Many thanks.. i am very near to buy it it...
Today there is a spicel price sale but actually i can't place order

Have bought my 1+1 about 3 weeks ago. No problem with touchscreen. There's no yellow band on the screen. Everything works pretty well! Lollipop is awesome! One thing you should know. If you're buying a white version, it's a little bit slippy and also quickly scratches and gets dirty.
Why would you buy this bug riddled phone at this point?

What bugs are you talking about?
Actually there is only one "bug" at touchscreen but is not a default bug and they can fix it in warranty.
For many people the touchscreen issues might be caused by a hardware problem. If it really was software after more than a year it should have been solved.
I wanted to let you know that it seems the touchscreen problem is gone after latest CM 12.1 nightly with integrated touchscreen firmware update.

Don't take notice, it isn't riddled with bugs. I've had two for almost a year and have zero issues. Most "bugs" are caused by people who don't know what they're doing.

I have 2 OnePlus, One is bought for almost a year till now, I think it's the first batch one, China version, it does have yellow band issues, but no touch screen issues at all, and the second OPO I bought early this year is Nov 2014 batch, no touchscreen issues or yellow band problem, so I guess the problem has been solved in new batch production line.
I bought the one+1 the last november and I had this two bugs: low volume in/out (solved), yellow band. I also suspect that the display quality degrades over time, compare with the other phones I had. Anyway it's a 300 $ phone, well suppported by android development. My opinion, the value for money is still excellent.
I got my OPO second hand in November '14 and its been great. Don't have the yellow screen issue and dont have any touch issues. At the end of the day which phone hasn't suffered from a software/hardware problem at some stage or another. And I'm talking about the big flagships, you check their forums and you'll see people complaining about this and that. Not all users have problems, sometimes its just luck of the draw. I can understand peoples frustrations with trying to return the device and/or dealing with Oneplus customer services. Hopefully the latest firmware update that seems to have been merged in the latest nightly will fix issues for people with problems once and for all.
Honestly i think a properly firmware update could fix an little hardware problem.
Anyway i got my new 1+1 and i can't see any problem atm, no yellow band, lound volume, touch works great, i really hope for the best becouse for 299€ is soo worth!
I bought my OnePlus One in March 2015 and I unfortunately got the touchscreen bug. I have since been issued an RMA and I am waiting for them to receive my phone, and then I should be sent a replacement after that. I really hope I don't get the touchscreen issue again.

I'm pretty sure my touchscreen problems were triggered from a hot day too (quite rare in the UK). When I receive my new phone, ill make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight!
There is no touchscreen bug.

pink line of death

I've got the pink Line of Death.
Its a pink Line vertical from the top to the bottom.
This Problem is already known from Samsung but Not official agreed.
Anyone has this Problem too?
It looks like this
Mine did that yesterday, only a faint line in the same place but not as strong as yours. I powered off for 5 minutes but it was still there. 5 minutes later it was gone and hasn't reappeared since. Odd.
Thats Not my mobile, but it kinda looks like this
Hope that the next Samsung Service Point can repair this due to my guarantee
I find this weird that this issue pops up now after a year and when the S8 is about to launch
My previous S7E had that line on the screen. It is a physical damage, because the line appeared and disappeared when I pressed in the area of the frontal camera. Previously the screen was broken after a fall from my jeans bag.
My phone was stolen on the bus, at least the thief took it with the broken screen and the pink line of death.

i've read that you can solve that problem by going to dialer and enter *#0*# and test the screen colors a coupletime which is gonna reset the screen pixels and work normally again
Tried this, but dont think that this will be the solution for the next time

With an avatar like that, I cannot trust your judgement
I had this issue over Christmas, really annoying and it got worse if you applied any pressure around the Samsung emblem. I thought my number was up as I'd rooted and the knox was obviously tripped. I took it into my local network provider shop as a first port of call. They told me they have their own repair service which doesn't involve using Samsung so they sent it off. I still expected a comeback on the knox but when I went in to speak to them a week or so later I was told they couldn't repair it and I was handed a brand new S7 Edge. Bonus as the old one was from launch day last March.
Just to say I was told it's a well known solder joint issue at the top of the screen, which is why applying pressure around the Samsung emblem makes it worse and why the line is always in exactly the same place. It can only be fixed with a hardware repair or replacement, nothing you can do with software will fix it, nor will any sort of reset.

Apply pressure around the Samsung name/earpiece, I reckon you will see it reappear. Either way it will be back, it's a hardware fault which might start as an intermittent issues but eventually will be a constant.

Awesome! I had the same issue but then I accidentally put the phone through the wash and had to claim on insurance. They replaced the phone with one that was manufactured in October and *touch wood* I haven't had the issue on this one so far.
I had this problem a month ago... I used Samsung's warranty to service the phone.. They changed the screen and the battery...

Just checked and mine was manufactured the end of November. Hopefully if the pink line was caused by a design fault it had been rectified before either of our new phones were made.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The issue was probably only with the earlier released devices. My brother got his around June time and has the pink line. Unfortunately he smashed his screen and cannot claim.
the same pink line problem started yesterday.. in the morning afte rplaying with those color buttons after entering code, lines went off. However when i press on top part of the phone, the line still appears... may the service decline repair since the phone is rooted?

This is so annoying. I was about to root. Was preparing Odin when I read about this. Now I'm not sure about root, AGAIN.

Does anybody have this default on screen ???

Hello,
I saw this few minutes ago, and haven't seen it during all the week end though i was playing with my S8+...
What do you think about it ?
Thanks for your comments and/or advice...
Is that a sort of software thing, or a defect with your screen ?

I agree. I've been seeing over on xda and reddit people with dead pixels, half black screens, laggy scrolls and the famous red tinted screens as well. Unfortunately i have the red tint issue and I'm getting a replacement on the 28th. Setting up is a headache... i wasn't expecting these much screen problems at all.
Yea screen is bad. Probably glue down with to much pressure right there. Exchange it under the 14day return

Bright White Spots on the screen

Since some weeks I am facing an increasing number of bright white spots on the screen (pls. refer to attached picture). Ok picture is not perfect, but should give an impression what I am talking about. Is anybody having the same issue with his screen.
I am wondering whether this is realated to a general quality issue or a faulty handling on my side.
Thx for your comments.
If your screen does that, perhaps it's time to get it looked at under warranty?

I am sure there are options for repair still, if the white spots bother you that much.
If it's an already replaced screen, it's probably not the best quality.
Could be adhesive.
I had a ASCEND MATE 7 for a while and after about two months got wild white patches on screen, sold it by the way and bought a new one. This new one even had brighter patches from the beginning!
Got this one replaced with MATE 8 by the warranty (yeah, they gave me the MATE 8 instead for whatever the reason!)
I'm now useing it for about 2 and half months and again I got white patches almost in middle and bottom of the screen! What the hell !?
I think this is the problem with internal batteries, as they are poor quality and after some time of use the battery's pressing against the back of the LCD ... and the whites appear
We should definitely blame Huawei for this
It's maybe because of poor quality made IPS-NEO screens used in mate series .. anyway Huawei MUST answer
mine is even worser. the device never dropped, not even a scratch around...

Ok. So is it safe to conclude that the new 2019 batch has no issues with the screen and/or only the tianma panel.is havingthe issues.
(Btw aby way to hide notch without moving the status bar below and fix it that way. Notch looks ugly to me?)
