my s7 edge exynos (Turkey) also had this issue. i had rooted the phone before so i was kinda nervous that samsung wouldn't fix it although my phone was a week old. it turns out it was a software issue, they just flashed the rom version R935FFXXU1BPH1.

it still works with no problem.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/TUR/

it seems to be the latest one on the top. you will probably want to download the one that is for your country, though. (download with internet download manager, it downloads way faster than a browser.)

I bought my S7 Edge in June, and one month later I had to send it to service because of horizontal lines on my screen. I got it back, but then at the beginning of October I got the same issue again. So now I'm waiting for to get my phone repaired (hopefully replaced). I have never had to send my phone to service twice within four month of purchase, so yes, I am quite frustrated with Samsung these days.

I'm having same issue on my month old s7 edge International... As I read in the comments.. Definitely I'm visiting the mobile purchased store...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SinisterDev:
So utterly infuriated about this issue now. Just started on my phone today. I bought this Edge through AT&T back in June. I baby my phone. I don't have the VR headset, which i heard the overheating caused by it has contributed to this issue, and I don't leave my phone on the charger for any longer than it needs to be.

So here's the infuriating part.. I don't know the other carriers policies, but AT&T is sending me out a replacement and they informed me that the new phone will NOT be covered under Samsung's 1 year manufacturers warranty, but instead will only be under warranty through AT&T for 90 days!! So if this happens again on my new Edge, ill be stuck paying for a $700 paperweight! Unless of course I want to pay them another $130 for their additional protection plan that will cover replacements and such on the phone for the next 2 years... Absolutely ridiculous! I'd most likely be exchanging this phone for the new model after a year anyway, and the protection plan does not carry over to the new device.. Im just utterly livid right now. Think AT&T is gonna lose us as customers soon...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Phk:
In my case, it went away with the "low battery" warning at 15%. After that warning the bars disappeared and I tried to forget this actually happened.

Anyway, I'm considering on switching to S7 flat; don't want to keep a phone that sooner or later is unsaleable..

Hey all, had the same problem a couple of months ago. Horizontal shutter like lines on screen. I bought my device (S7E Dual-Sim) in singapore, but took to it a samsung center in India and the service guy immediately acknowledged that its a manufacture defect (he mentioned a display driver problem) and replaced it under warranty - no questions asked. So don't wait for a software trick. Give it in for service!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 1n7B:
Temp fix for grey bars (when adjusting screen brightness) on Samsung S7 Edge display.

Download Twilight blue light filter app.

Set to always on

Set phone to auto adjust brightness

Use Twilight app to adjust brightness

Notes:

Sometimes phone will auto adjust brightness so you'll have to readjust. This may happen quite frequently but once you get fast at adjusting it this way it's better than seeing the grey bars!

Also some apps won't let you run it while you're trying to do certain things so a message will pop up. Swipe notification bar down, pause Twilight, finish what you're doing, then resume Twilight.

Hope this helps and I look forward to hearing if this works or if anything else works for you.

*This problem went away on its own but then I had to factory reset my device and the problem eventually came back. Twilight so far is the best temp fix I've found.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] egemencandir:
The problem might be Samsung's Game Center app. I remember that my stripe problem started a couple of hours after I used power saving option in game center. Today, I updated the app. I didn't realize the stripes disappeared (I was using Twilight) until later but it looks like they're gone. I suggest updating the app to check for yourself as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Phk:
Hi Egem, thanks for posting ur first post ;)

Unfortunately the issue remains active even if you go to bootloader, recovery, or even boot another ROM. This means it will most probably be an hardware bug which is very hard to fully understand and avoid. Best thing is to send it to repair.

S7 edge lines appearing

My s7 edge just started to show the lines this morning while i was using it when it was on the charger. I bot my phone almost 4 months ago and neva had an issue until now, funny thing is that screenshots do not capture the lines. So cross my fingers that the retail shops going to replace it (which is very difficult) or fix it because im really disappointed with Samsung. :(:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iscript:
same problem here!! no fix.. unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Baudie:
Samsung S7 edge

This happened to me yesterday, and I too searched in vain for a solution.

The lines go away on full brightness, the Twilight app also fixes the issue with some tweaking.

I didn't drop my phone immediately before this happened, but I dropped it earlier in the day before this happened. I had one of those aluminum cases on, the type you screw on. I also had tempered glass on my phone that was layered between the case and phone which meant an extra layer the design of the case wasn't designed for. So as far as screwing it on, it was too tight for that thin extra layer.

As I was sitting at my desk later that day, with my phone laying flat.. the lines popped up after texting. I just found out there is an extremely hard to see hairline fracture to the glass which I can only assume happened when I dropped it that morning, but only triggered the problem as I was using my phone from normal usage.

I can't see the Crack on the top of the screen, the screen itself is intact.. but the tiny fracture seems to be on the bottom side of the glass. The only way I can see this Crack is by shining a bright light on my phone, and it only shows when the light hits at an angle.

So, that's my issue.. my solution was to either live with it, or replace it

for if somebody wonders , my S7 Edge was rooted ( reverted to stock) , and it seems it wasn't a problem getting the replacement ( that was my main fear) , but for any reason , they know this issue exist ( in a ramdon and small amount) , but it happens with no obvious reason, (well....at last i doesn't catch fire as the N7) let's hope it doesn't come again!

Im from Spain, and a took it to my carrier Shop (Orange Spain where i bougth it) so they sent it to Samsung Service, one week later i received SMS asking me to go to the shop to get my "in theory" repaired S7 Edge, but that was my surprise when i went to the shop and they gave me an absolutely shiny new one unit! , then, the shop`s manager told me that the Samsun Service said "it was a sensor mistake, and it was unrepairable, and in this cases they decide to send a new one. cos there is no way to repair it.

i hope to help

I purchased the S7E on 13 August 2016 and it's display was working fine until 2 January 2017 when grey horizontal bars appeared.

The issue was exactly the same as shown in post #39 and in this video.

I took the device directly to Samsung authorised service center and they replaced the AMOLED display and audio receiver.

Got the device back in excellent condition (like it was never opened) and everything works fine.

Definitely a LCD issue!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to give some input. I am a Lead Repair Technician at a re-manufacturing company. I had a Verizon S7 Edge come in today with this exact same issue. I also had another Verizon S7 Edge with a dead pixel on it. After reading many forums I figured I'd tear the two apart and see if it is a part issue or the LCD. I first swapped the two boards and seen if the 4 grayed lines went away. It did not. Then I replaced the proximity sensor from the dead pixel unit into the 4 grayed lines unit. same results (4 gray lines). An just for fun I swapped out the front and rear cameras. Same result. So in my conclusion. This 4 gray line issue is most definitely a LCD issue. It might be a chip/feature on the LCD that is malfunctioning, but it most certainly is not the board, or any of the main parts (proxy, camera, system connect). Hope this helps.

So this here...

and this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1B7Aa4pVmY

are LCD problems right? Are you sure rooting the phone didn't cause the screen to act that way? Samsung says it is exactly why the screen does that and you should f*ck off. And then you have to fight really hard and stress and waste a lot of your time and if you are lucky, they will fix it.

Worked like a charm for me

wp.me/p8uGsf-4
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cyd88:
This happened with me few months back for 2 weeks. I tried all the suggested solutions on web I could find, except to have it rooted and such, as I'm not that advanced, and to have it fixed at Samsung as they would charge me about couple hundred dollars since I bought mine overseas which means no local warranty in my country.

Fortunately, I found a solution that actually worked in my case by mere luck. Maybe others can try and see if it works for them too.

Once, after the problem occured, I left my phone on and charged it overnight. The next morning, the stripes were gone. I was ecstatic. However, in few hours the problem returned. I tried the same trick again that night. The next day the stripes were gone and hasn't returned since then.

Mind that this trick didn't work when I left the phone turned off while charging overnight, which I tried a couple times at least before I tried leaving it on overnight. In usual circumstances I seldom left my phone charged while on overnight. After having my stripes problem fixed I haven't needed to repeat the tricks day after day as well. All back to normal.

Anyone having this issue and cant get their device replaced, root your phone and install twrp. Then flash a kernel that supports PWM Flicker Free Fix. Superstock and TGB Kernel's older versions has this feature implemented and it solves this problem. Contrast might be bad but it is better than these huge screen lines.

same problem Happened to my S7 Edge Indian Dual Sim Model 935FD 3 days back which is out of warranty. Was using Twilight solution for 2 days but not liking it. Tried battery to 0 and recharge to full, not solved. Than did Factory reset and Boom- No Solution. Now will charge the phone overnight and will see tomorrow. Else will root after enquiring from samsung service centre about any chance for simple solution other than display.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hey07:
The problem is easy fix without replacing screen.

1. You can fix by rooting and flashing flicker free kernel (a few kernel so support)

2. Wait. It will fix itself within a month or so. It will come back if you flash kernel or update or install rom.

3. If you don't want to wait, use dead pixel app solution. Again after it comes to normal don't flash any rom or update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Phk:
And why is the flex kernel the solution?

Let me remind that the problem is still present on the Bootloader and Recovery, so no kernel even loaded.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hey07:
The problem cos by flicker effect. The kernel that support disable the effect will solve the problem.

Yes you are right it still exists in recovery cos we can only disable flicker effect with kernel.

First of all you need to make sure your s7 edge is rooted then install FlashFire (pro version), use it to flash flicker free kernel. After flashing perform a hard reboot by pressing and holding volume down and power key for about 8 seconds. After reboot dark shadow lines will disappear. Method works perfectly.
