Spooky timing LOL...

It's a legitimate thing to be concerned about. Friend of mine with an S6 took it out of a case they'd had it in since day 1, and the phone had not only had its battery swell but it had pressed the whole back glass panel off the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
"notice battery swelling"

lol wonder how one would do that since they removed the door.

maybe that cheese grator issue people have is acctualy the battery swelling and pushing on the back of the screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
No doubt. Just covering their far eastern hinnes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Do you have a link to the Huawei thread with the screen issue? Check out my pics I posted earlier by the way. It's the exact same as yours. Samsung refused to even look at mine, so I just had to purchase a screen/frame assembly myself and change it.

Did they ever come to a consensus on what's causing the issue? Was it just a bad panel, or is it really a battery issue as mentioned above?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ghost Grater:
Are we unlucky?

I completely agree that this is an issue caused by the device heating up.

E.g. the cheese grater screen defect first appeared when:

● using the phone whilst charging it.

The defect started to slowly fade away to almost being 100% gone when:

● the phone was barely used for two weeks, and charged when NOT in use during that time.

The defect has reappeared right now because:

● I am using the phone whilst charging it.

Case

Closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ghost Grater:
Safety warning!

IF YOUR PHONE HAS THE SCREEN DEFECT WE ARE CURRENTLY DISCUSSING (THE GHOSTLY RECTANGULAR SHAPE WITH ROWS OF CIRCLES ALL THE WAY DOWN IT) THEN PLEASE CONSIDER DISCONNECTING IT FROM ANY CHARGER IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USING THE PHONE WHILST CHARGING IT!

I apologise for any previous posts that did not take this issue seriously enough.

When it comes to safety, nothing else matters.

I spoke to a very helpful Samsung representative about our issue. And, well, the fact that this thread talks about batteries and heat... need I say any more?

Nothing is confirmed or anything, and it may still end up being a harmless issue despite how annoying it is.

But still, please put safety first and consider disconnecting your charger (and therefore not using the phone whilst charging) if you have this issue.

Obviously no one is expecting you to avoid charging forever - so I would advise that you eventually contact Samsung to resolve this.

The adviser I spoke to tonight was 100% understanding and with a 100% correct attitude about this issue, and seems to be starting the ball rolling.

Let's help Samsung and each other sort this thing out!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Not true for me. Mine appeared at work one day and continuously got worse everyday. Only charged overnight on wireless charger with screen off. Mine was a screen/glue issue, maybe battery heat started it but when phone was cool it was still there. That did not change mine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ghost Grater:
Being charged overnight could be a similar influence that exposes the defect. During my two weeks of limited use, charging didn't take place overnight - typically less than 30 minutes before bed as there was still a high percentage of battery power left.

A lot has been said in this thread about glue. Is this what Samsung concluded about your phone? The overnight charging may have helped the defect remain instead of fading. Did they fix your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
perhapse battery swelling making it push on the back of the screen..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
I'll find out tomorrow. I got an OEM screen/frame assembly to make the repair. I just haven't had a day off since I got it. So when I switch everything over, I'll check the battery out. Maybe that's all it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ghost Grater:
Yeah that was the concern the Samsung adviser had. Hopefully this is not a similar situation to the Note 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Well guys, I just completed the screen/frame swap on my phone and my battery was not swollen in the least. It looked to be in perfect shape to be honest. Also, it holds a charge like the day I got it.

I guess it's just the glue melting, or just the LCD going bad in general. This new display seems to be perfect, so I am thankful for that. However, I will be watching it like a hawk as I fear it will be a common issue in the hotter months. I really think that the heat does something to the UV glue in the display. I may be wrong though. I'll update with any additional information though.

I have this issue on my two week old Note 9. Had a cheese grater now it is full blown rectangle.

Woah I have the exact same pattern on my phone!! I have no apps that have that layout. Mine appeared about a week ago and I got my note 9 when it came out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IGBTsat:
Same issue too.

I'm becoming crazy... Samsung must fix It.

My Note9 is new! Charged two times...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Still no issues on my end.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
same here.. made in Vietnam in Aug 2018.. all good (except the buzzing telephoto camera lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IGBTsat:
UPDATE!:After 1 week using my Note9, I can say that the issue is completely disappear.:D

I did nothing... only normal use of the phone. I used also wireless charging all night.

I think the problem was related to some material (glue?) behind the screen that was not completely polymerized.

I think this is a good news for all guys with same issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
For those who are worried about screen burn in, there is a very nice feature that Samsung has implemented a long time ago that helped to never get burn in on any Samsung I've ever owned since they've introduced that feature. Under settings/display, there is a "screen saver" feature. Enable that. What it does is it make the screen light up in different colors when the phone is plugged in to "shake" the "ink" in the screen to prevent color retention since it's an organic display. Just make sure that you plug in the phone and not press the power button to lock the screen. Just plug it in and let the screen "go off" on its own. I'm sure some of you know this feature, but for those who didn't know, this is the feature that helped me to never have had any screen burn ins on my sammy phones. You don't have to do it everyday. I personally do it once or twice a week for a couple of hours while it's charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
For me, the burning question is "is the s10 going to have the same issue with the telephoto lens" since its literally the same hardware. Im buying one tomorrow, so I'll just have to wait and see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] q123456:
i've noticed the same problem with my 1y old Note 9.

I just taken the screen protector off, had no issues before. Now arter a day without a protector, same pattern is visible on mine device...not very good :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Oh is that what it does, never used it. When does it go on?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Yup. This is the reason I've never ever had a burn in on any Samsung phone before no matter how long I kept them. It does off when you plug the phone into the charger and not press the power button to lock it. Just plug it in and set it down. It'll emit multiple colors in seconds. I'd do it 2 or 3 times a week for an hour or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
So how does the screen saver come into play in relation to having AOD and plugging in or on wireless charger? Or am I missing the point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
when plugged in, screen saver overrides AOD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Thanks, is this the real bobber or fake one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
im not sure. do you feel trolled upon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
No. But screen burn is a very important subject, especially for those that don't have a clue about maintaining oled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Like bober said. It overrides everything as long as it is plugged in. Wired and wireless. VERY important.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Ok, I'll set that up on wife's one. My devices oled are always as dark as sh ite with no AOD ever lolz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Thank me in two years when you have no burn ins. And AOD is useless anyway. I have it on, but not always on. I have it on "touch to show" or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I'll thank you now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Lol. No problem then.

Anything new with this issue? I'm still seeing the gray screen with circles going across in rows. So annoying... Can't have this on a $1,000 device!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultramag69:
Well, apparently you can... It's just you don't WANT this on a $1000+ device....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Couldn't take it anymore. Heading to a walk in repair center today to fix the issue. It's covered under the 1 year Samsung warranty, so won't be paying anything.

That's probably the best solution for all affected by this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:
I bet it will come back ?

ATM I can't tell you what it is I think it's battery charge

But not sure

At this time it's not present anymore on my phone

Sometimes it's completely gone sometimes barely visible

But not that much as I showed you on the picture

We have to find more people to make Samsung aware of it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
I went to a Ubreakifix Samsung Service Center and they ran all kinds of diagnostics. They said their test results yielded no defects with the screen itself. Said it's possibly a motherboard issue and that I would need to ship it directly to Samsung for them to look at it.

With all the hassle, I'm going to just tolerate it for now seeing that it's only visible on certain screens and in certain lighting. Will most likely send it before the year long warranty is up though. Just not now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:
So at the moment I am on 14% battery

And I can't see the dot pattern

Can you see it that often ? Can't you post pictures like I did ? Would help to understand what kind of problem your screen have
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
I've seen mentioned somewhere else that a resolution change of the display made these patterns appear and disapperar. Not sure if that's the cause or not though seems weird to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Where did you see this? Another forum? Do you have a link to that discussion that you can share please?

Sorry I haven't posted the pictures yet. They are on a friend's phone. Will post tomorrow, but I can assure you, the pictures look just like the one you took of your phone. Very same pattern, so you will not see anything new really.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
This is what my phone looks like on dark backgrounds... Absolutely horrible. It's getting worse for me. Sending it to Samsung with this evidence asap. This is unacceptable from a $1,000 device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:
???? Omg this is like 10 times worse

Didn't expect that

That's why I was so interested in photos

And this is permanent ?

Cause my pattern disappear from time to time

But yours is like I don't know pretty much ****ed up

Just compared the photos and yours pretty much the same pattern but much more visible
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Yes, but it wasn't this way until just a few days ago. Just like yours, at 1st it wasn't that visible and would appear then disappear. But then it eventually got worse. So if I were you, I wouldn't wait. If it's under warranty you should just send it to Samsung and either have them replace it or repair it. They are going to replace mine. Some early units had a hardware defect that resulted in this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:
Who gave you that information with the hardware defect?

Couldn't find anything about it online

I will definitely send it back

Not at the moment

But maybe when the mate 20 pro is out ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Common problem with any oled display - google maps navigation for hours/youtube videos/etc while driving and letting the phone go into overdrive brightness mode. Actually even samsung themself states it's not good for your phone to stay too long into that mode (I agree they should limit the use of it and drop the brightness if it's in that mode for too long).

Easy to avoid with manual brightness control, just turn off the auto mode from the quick settings with a single tap and turn the brightness down to a good level for you/lightning conditions (lower - the better, especially if a static image is shown like google maps elements, youtube in portrait mode and so on). 99% of the time users complain about burnin (actually it's burn-out as the chemicals illuminates less, but I digress) is because they use their oled screen phones like they are LCD made, true the manufacturer should consider that, but it's tech limitation that can't be avoided. My s7e is 2.5 years old, used every day for like 4-7h SOT autobrightness and doesn't have a single tiny bit of a screen problem, but yeah... the few times I used navigation - the brightness was super low or screen off using just the voice after route review before travel and never used it for more than quick msg read/few minutes in overdrive mode. If I use the phone in sunlight, I would turn it down manually to normal levels (actually it's still good visibility level).

Also it should be noted that those displays also carry the picture retain characteristic from the LCD displays, i.e. if you have static element for some time, it will stay and looking like burnin in a check. Would disappear in time tho.

Just to put my view on the matter and some information. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xMadMike:
Had mine since launch and no burn-in so far :) I do have the navigation key on auto-hide though(keeping them always there is fugly and kills the fullscreen experience)

Then again, my usage in Android Auto has moved from my phone screen to my car's screen (My old S6edge+ had some minor burn-in from Google Maps after 2 years of use), so that new car probably helps in the long run.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
if you can try to compare your note9 with a new one or s9plus, after a week I change my note 9,because I noticed I little rose burn, and the new one still has it but less, I have to remove a little of the red colour.

I compared mine with a lot of notes and s9plus and s9plus have better screen than the note, is more brighter and more white, in all phones I had and have a note 8 too with 10 months , that went to warranty to replace the screen because was burn, and never change any colour of the screen.

Note 9 is failing with the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Actually, Samsung is not replacing it after all. This has been an absolute disaster and horrible customer service from Samsung. Their repair center came to the conclusion that there are no defects with the device. Despite the fact that I sent in pictures as proof.

They will not keep their agreement to replace the device, and with regards to the known defect, they thought it was the light leak defect.

In summary, I will be forced to continue paying $1,000 for a defective device and Samsung is doing absolutely nothing about it. They could care the least. All this after being on the phone with them for hours.

Not sure what to do...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:

It's a shame how they handle this

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mojoehand:
Since I read about "screen burn" often, when it comes to OLED, I assume that it really is happening to some. However, I am now on my 8th Samsung device (phones and tablets) with OLED, and I have never seen any indication of screen burn. some of these devices I have used on a daily basis for 3-4 years.

Lately, I have even been using an alarm clock app that leaves a large green LED-like display on overnight (while charging). Otherwise, I use the devices like everyone else, although I don't do gaming.

Just what type of usage makes an OLED screen burn-in an image?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Prolonged static images on screen causes it. Especially if the foreground image is much lighter than the background
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Static images with faster screen burn @ higher brightness. Classical case would be a google maps navigation during the days(the brightness is high on auto, and a lot of people don't manually adjust it to lower values or/and turn off the screen most of the time and listen only to the instructions), this will quite quickly in 2-3m it will cause burn. Your case is better (lower brightness), but still not recommended at all, especially if the clock doesn't move slightly. I highly advice you to either turn it off and avoid similar usage or atleast set up the clock to show just around given hours (if possible).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] robhug:
Method to avoid burn in

about burn in, is it caused by repetition like for example a game that has static elements on screen , playing every day less than an hour will cause burn in at some point or caused by static elements displayed straight for long time period? so my question is, if there is like google maps displayed for a long time, but every 5 or 10 minutes we change the screen just quickly switch the app or go the home screen just to change the image displayed on screen can avoid burn in ? (or as i asked for repetition, it would be useless to switch screen if it is also caused by repetition )

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
it might be leaving the brightness past 50% or more for extended periods of time on static images. id think that high contrast shapes/images would also contribute faster:

white on dark and vice versa.

I myself have also never had burn in. i think that the main reason might be that i always adjust brightness to be as low as possible for my liking. main reason being that i want more battery life and a product of this might also be no burn ins which is a win win.

i also set dynamic background for my status bar and nav bar.

so I'm pretty much covered.

what ever the problem might be with a phone, cheap or flagship;( or anything in life really)

85% of the time its human behavior that is the cause of the dysfunction.

money doesn't make anything human proof... or do i mean stupid proof?

i dont drive standard very well. Would i get a 100 000$ standard shift car and expect it to shift better because of the cost? no. infact, it would probably be even more tricky.

i believe that the other threads like this regarding how the screen cracks easily is also because of people's way of interpreting how big and costly phones should behave.

i myself am cautious around things that are worth as much. My standard knowledge of physics also tell me that bending and applying pressure to glass is not good. this principle is even worst the bigger the screen gets.

anyways just my two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Sorry but this post is not completely accurate. The specific screen issue being discussed in this thread is not typical screen burn in and it's not a result of human behavior. It's a hardware defect that has affected a few devices. When Note 7's were catching fire, was that human stupidity or human error? No. It was faulty hardware. The pics posted here shows a specific issue with some Note 9 displays that has absolutely nothing to do with normal screen burn in from static images.

And trust me, this issue will start showing up on other Note 9 units as well. Just hope it's not yours... This issue will become public in due time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I still don't get what the original issue is. You are displaying a dark dimmed green image on the screen within a dark room? Sometimes it shows those circles sometimes not? Just trying to understand the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
did you read first post?( the guy is not even saying he has an issue or not but generally inquiring.) he is not even specifying an exact issue as you seem to be so positive about.

moreover did you read the post title?

i am well in the boundaries of this topic with my post.

and that part about the blatant note 7 problem, when will people drop it already yes they had issues with the battery i get it.

is it the same as breaking a screen or overly utilising high brightness of the screen? i think not.

screw you.
