Wow that sucks, call them up! No way i would stand for that, i was having battery issues they offered me to replace the battery..

i told Samsung to do one, and i wont a replacement Note 9! They didn’t like me saying that but we have consumer rights..

Mate it looks like it looks like the damage is underneath the glass you can point out it was mint when I sent it in and you guys have sent me a damaged Note 9 back!

You can’t mess with factory sealed phones. That's why I didn’t want a battery replacement, these idiots working at Samsung service centre don’t have the care and pride to look after other people property. They have proved that with your phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
You probably live in the UK or EU which has a good advocacy for consumer rights. Over the pond, in the USA its piss poor. Take my word for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah the warranty states that after 30 days the device has to be repaired at least 3 times I believe before a new device can be issued. Mine is off to Samsung again to get back glass replaced from ubreakifix scratching the back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
Hey guys, been reading this thread and I too have the dreaded smudge-bar...

It's just appeared over the last couple of weeks... I have contacted samsung about it and they said do a factory reset, if nothing changes take it into my carrier and see about repair/replace. I've had the handset for 3ish months so a little frustrated, I've had many samsung oled phones/devices and never had burn in before or screen defects. I'm always so careful - I thought it was something I'd done to the phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeVilio:
Ok so that screen failure occurs after 2 - 3 months? I`m starting to be affraid. Half way to screen damage? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I've had mine since launch August no issues yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
I'm starting to wonder if it's caused by the AOD?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mentalmuso:
I don't use aod and had it a couple of times. It's a glue issue, possibly aggitated by temperature. Mine comes and goes, most notably after a hot day. Or while it's on the charger.

[emoji450]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
That makes sense, I don't even see it on my phone right now - but it needs charging soon so I'll see what happens after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
So after charging it - it's definitely a heat related thing...

It's Incredibly noticeable on a blue or grey backgrounded app - my bank's app is all blue, and the nightmode of the samsung browser shows the hideousness of it. It's such a weird, uniform shape too..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
This is a photo of my note 9 in a darkened room.

It's horrifying...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
same as mine 2mths old and noticed this today

tok back to my provider EE and they have sent of for repair, 2 week wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
That's standard on all note 9 (THAT'S NOT SHAGGED) You will not see that on usual wear and tear! They cant do nothing about it. You will have same glue on your replacement Note 9 FACT!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] katori142:
Edit: maybe i was thinking too much. Now those burn-in already went away. Turn out it was image retention, not an actual burn-in. The lesson is, displaying static image for a long time like 7 hours can cause image retention which looks like burn in issue. :D

______________

hello. today i have seen this issue as well. with daily usage i can't see the burn in but with OLED tool in low brightness + dark green color i can see notification bar icon and one small square burn-in on my note 9 screen. i think this issue appears caused by letting my phone play youtube over night ( ~ 7 hours , yesterday i fell asleep. my connection was lost and youtube kept connecting whole night and screen didnt turn off ) But 7 hours of displaying the same static content on youtube screen really can cause screen burn-in ??? i thought it has to be long time like few month to cause burn-in, not just this tiny 7 hours. will my burn-in fade in time or i will have to deal with it forever ? im sad now because my device is only 1 month old. i never set the brightness auto and neve let it go higher than 60%. :((((
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
My phone has this issue, in the exact same area - and I never watch anything on it for more than a few minutes. I do all my Watching of things on my PC or TV (chromecast, hello...).

It's not a burn in, or image retention - it's a design/manufacturer flaw.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
Same i dont have static pics or widgets. None of my games or apps have a section as pure as that rectangle.

I came accross this video other day when looking up what it could be and the battery is the same shape and around the same area.

As the shape is so perfect it makes me wonder if it could be anything to do with the battery

( i have never noticed the battery getting hot.)

i don't do anything on it that would cause the battery to get hot either all my main games on on my galaxy tab s4.

but as said its funny its the same shape on all the devices it could be a bad batch or something.

https://youtu.be/L5eSaFIIUpM

@ 1.54 shows the shape of battery, it does look a bit further down but its weird its the same shape.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
I believe it's a heat spreader Under the battery that is the rectangle we're seeing - https://youtu.be/L5eSaFIIUpM?t=292
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
hi,

i got the repair report today. To cut it short here is part of it. My thoughts are in bold.

What you told us: The device's screen was faulty/corrupted When he phoned me up i directed him to this page and my pic.

What we found: We were unable to reproduce the fault you described

Outcome of your repair:

During our tests we uncovered an issue on your device and have now fixed this. It is a

slightly different fault to the one you initially described, but if two problems occur on a

device they are often connected, so you should find that your initial issue has also

stopped. interesting but i was unaware of any other fault, could this be true ?

Some extra details about what we have done are included below.

What we have done: -

Updated your device's software to the latest version. interesting as it was already on the latest software unless its an update that doesn't get pushed out ota.

- Checked that the device meets your manufacturer's standards.

- Checked that the device switches on fully.

- Checked that your device can make and hold a call.

- Checked that the device's screen works and shows colours properly.

I'm guessing its going to come back and going to have the same issue.

i'll update when received and take some pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RFlynn2019:
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Returned home from work last night and noticed the exact same pattern on my phone. Doesn't look like screen burn, like as you said I have no app pattern or game pattern like it. One unhelpful call to the Samsung shop and then one excellent visit to the EE shop my phone is now away for repair.

I only got the phone in November last year, so I'm disappointed it's only made it until January before this issue occured. I have found little on the internet about this issue.

I hope whatever they do fixes the issue for the longer term.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
They just make it up to bill samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m2geek:
I'd dispute that, quite strongly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
ask them if they also do things in 3's. just in case the world comes crashing down.

then reprimand them for not having given you the device fully charged.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RFlynn2019:
Same with mine as of yesterday. At least they were helpful unlike Samsung. I would rather wait the longer period of time with good customer service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
Well, i popped into EE today to collect my phone and the guy in the shop handed it over turned on,

straight away i could still c the image on the screen. So the next step was to put in back in for Repair.

So its gone back in under Repair, Repair !! Another week without my note 9 !

I also spoke to an engineer who works for the repair centre and informed them that the phone had

already been in and looked at and that the report was misleading as it stated things that were not true.

(fixed another issue/updated software etc...)

I phoned EE in the afternoon to see what the next step would b if it comes back un repaired again and

the issue i had with being miss led on the letter and i was told the letter was a standard letter /template

they hand out which i said is not right as it misleads the customer but he basically said its not their (EE) problem

i need to take it up with the engineer / repair centre.

So 1 more week to wait and hopefully i will have my phone either repaired (screen changed) or replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
No way! That's terrible! How can anyone not switch the phone on and see it?!?! It was so obvious on mine and the sales guy said straight away that something isn't right.

I assume EE use SBE ltd for all their warranty repairs. I know that the sales guy in EE made the note about the green box, but I feel i may contact SBE direct through the email on the confirmation form to ensure that the issue is captured and explained properly so that they can provide a fix. I don't want to wait two weeks for them to come back and have the same issue again as you have had above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Dude when you use your NOTE-9 like Youtube, Netflix, Web Browsing, etc! Do you see the outline of the block in the center ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
N1NJATH3ORY

it doesn't show on all apps or wallpapers but on certain shades/angles it stands out really bad but its always in the back

of the mind it's going to be there. To be honest once i noticed it last weekend i took it straight in to EE.

But the way i see it even if i don't notice it all the time its there in those apps / angles and shouldn't be

and when i do notice it, it's really annoying.

For me the main issue is mine has this rectangle and a friend who got his note 9 b4 me hasn't and also there

are many other users with exactly the same shape and area on all their phones which looks like it relates to

the heat mat from the You tube video someone posted so its a regular occurrence with the note 9 model.

I know you are going to get the odd bad batch etc... which your service provider / Samsung should cover but the main issue is how its been dealt with

in for repair, them (SBE) saying they couldn't get in contact with me (i showed the EE person in the shop when they phoned me to prove they did on my watch call log etc...) .

The false "fixes" on the report (although EE say its a template report so its the same for everyone) its just annoying.

rickysflynn

yes on the reports its SBE-LTD based in KENT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
Thanks N1NJATH3ORY. I have dropped them an email and asked them to contact me to discuss further.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris2busy:
wow..i am so glad i ran into this before buying the device.

looks pretty damn common occurrence and if it is from the hardware layout of the device, there is no escaping it. just a matter of time . looks like i will have to resort to a mate 20 pro :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
So, I have now had the phone looked at and the report returned from SBE. The problem is now fixed and ready to return. The outline of the report is as follows -

What you told us : The device's screen was faulty / corrupted.

What we found : Faulty Battery

Outcome of your repair : During our tests we uncovered an issue on your device and have now fixed this. It is a slightly different fault to the one you initially described, but if two problems occur on a device they are often connected, so you should find the initial issue has also stopped.

Details about what we have done - Updated your device's software to the latest version (Hopefully One UI)

Replaced the display and touchscreen Replaced the battery

So it sounds like the battery was the fault, but this also effects the screen. I am no looking forward to having my Note back! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Ugh, so you had the shadow rectangle issue in the middle of the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
Yep, seems to be more common than I originally thought. Hopefully this fix will last a little longer than 2 1/2 months
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
You obviously missed the thread containing hundreds of pages regarding the 20 pro hulk screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
hulk screen vs cheese grater screen

...humm what a dilemma
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris2busy:
didnt miss, but i get the choice to replace until i get the BOE oem screen (only lg screens have green tint) .

However with the note, if the issue keeps re-appearing , i will have to just keep replacing screens till warranty runs out?

Edit : Is there a way to get samsung's attention drawn on this issue, so we can get an answer?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
yeah post on their forums and other public spaces they are present on. ive been telling people this for months.

xda is like an old grand ma that listens but dont expect her to do chit about it. and the users posting here are passive aggressive by doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
I have my phone back from repair yesterday. It feels like a brand new phone to be honest (I know it's not). Let's hope the fix is a long term one, as I don't fancy doing this every couple of months.

If there is an issue around the battery (again) that's causing this then Samsung need to be investigating. The Samsung experience customer service said he had never heard of the issue....or was he just playing it down?

Anyhow, EE have supported me no end and happy to have the phone back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NickOonline:
interesting as mine is still awaiting receipt at repair centre. (sent on Friday for the 2nd time, prob not collected until Saturday or Monday.)

i phoned last night and they hadn't received it as of 4.30 and the guy said its as if its been lost in transit !!!

I phoned EE direct to see if they could trace the courier and they said theres nothing they can do you need to ring the shop who sent it.

I tried from around 4.30 but could nt get through to the shop.

so im going to pop in to the shop today and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysflynn:
Strange...mine took 5 days to arrive at SBE and then back at the store within a day, so I wouldn't worry just yet.

I hope you get it sorted this time :svetius:

Some will say it's due to only being out for around 3 months.

There are plenty of GSI images with different roms.

Be sure to test only A/B partition compatible roms with the A2 Lite.

Most of them probably will have some serious bugs, others might doesn't boot at all, but at least there are some custom roms. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] hossman:
Disagree, among other resources we have root and unlocked bootloader. Factory IMG is available and like was said, many GSI ROMs out there. Folks are working with this phone, it may not be a Dev magnet, but this phone is easily modded.

why is there not fully working roms then?

I didn't ever used system ab device before now I'm going to buy a xiaomi mi a2 tomorrow. I saw threads about it's suffering from fp bug. So if I'll have a buggy fp I have to stay in the july security patch till the update for goodix fp arrives.

now the question is:

since a2 is an ab device;

is it going to force me to update? I mean when I reboot it normally, it's automatically been updated?

or

is the phone going to wait for my permission from updater, for an updating reboot?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] TheDiB:
Hi.

I recently bought an MTCE PX5 based head unit for my french Peugeot 308 (2009).

The manufacturer seems to be Klyde as the version number (MTCE_KLD_V2.88b_1) says.

The installation in the car was pretty easy and plug & play thanks to your help on the main PX5 thread.

Still I have a few questions that you might have answers for :)

First, the head unit sounds pretty crappy.

My previous Parrot Aseroid Smart (slowish Android 2.3 / 512 MB) had a way much better sound output quality.

I will try to flash one of Cs-x's sound patchs, see if it goes better with that update.

The main problem comes from a lot of noises I get from the head unit "gzzzz" "pshhhh", it reminds me of the good old times with the computers ****ty front panel audio :D

When I call someone, they barelly hear me. Have you guys been experiencing such noises ?

--> Fixed by flashing one of Cs-x's patched firmwares

Then there are my rear sensors.

They are successfully detected and provided to the head unit by the CANBUS decoder provided by the seller, but they don't beep !

The seller didn't provide the amplified external speaker needed so I must do it the DIY way...

I managed to solder RCA connectors to that audio signal and I can hear the beeps when I switch for AV1 on the unit : good... but my back camera is connected to the CAM1 input wich is automatically displayed when I engage the reverse gear.

Is there a way to ask my head unit to switch to AV1 instead of CAM input when I engage reverse ?

That would be perfect as I will get the video from the back camera AND the audio from the sensors !

An other issue : my car's service counter is going crazy !

As I drove a few meters, the service counter droped near a thousand kilometers since next service.

This will result in service light flashing in a few days, for at least 12 month until my next real service :

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Damien

Thanks for that !

Any advice for getting sound & video for ma rear sensors & camera ?

Interesting as I just looked at this company for one for my Mazda CX7..

Seems also while they work with the Bose system already the reverse cam that comes with the car may not work.. need to confirm..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TheDiB:
Hi Dgcruzing

Did you have any response from Belsee ?

Usually they answer within 2 days.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dgcruzing:
Yes, they popped back an answer.

But ended up going with a Dasaita.

Seems plenty of resellers of thier unit across the usual channels.. so with luck it all goes to plan..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Downerhouse:
Rear sensors

I have a Peugeot 208 and Dasaita unit, so slightly different and this may not help. But I had issues with reverse sensors and did not realise I had to install the supplied speaker. The beeps from the reverse sensors do not come out of the main speakers in the car, only the extra speaker provided.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TheDiB:
Thanks Downerhouse for your message.

Indeed, my unit has this connector too, but there was no speaker in shipped the box :(

I tried many speakers and piezzo buzzers, but none of them worked.

I managed to attach a RCA connector to this output so I could at least plug the rear sensors sound output into my AUX input... but that's really not practical...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TheDiB:
Bump :)

New ideas.

I read in a french forum that I could easily modify the car's ECU so the rear parking sensors output directly through the cars COM2000 (that's the direction switch, behind the steering wheel) instead of the classical audio circuit. I will check this.
