[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wer wo was:
Yes that the problem of a few devices

I have no clue why people now arguing ?

Sometimes a thread evolves and people mentioning other problems

At the beginning I thought those circles were kind of screen burn in or caused by faulty pixels that's why I posted it

I've just read an article that Huawei having problems with the mate 20 pro screen that it is showing similar patterns with almost the same problem

Those are caused by glue which is used for the screen

So I may think it's the glue that's holding the oled panel

That would explain this pattern

So maybe the glue changing with heat or so and causing those problems from time to time

Mine is flawless and it will never burn in for as long as i have the device. There are so many things that you can do to prevent burn ins. I've never had a single burn in on any phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Ok... This is not screen burn in though. It's a hardware defect that a growing number of people have been experiencing.

And one can't speak in absolutes...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I was replying to the thread, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep, I think you are right.

Same problem to my Note9 512gb. 1 month old. Did not had it on max brightness or auto ever. I do not play games. Only usual browsing.. Yet occasionally. Normal use. ****ed up situation. Is there any fix to this issue?

Damn. RMA that thing

I am waiting on my pixel 3 to get here to use in the meantime while I send mine away
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel4653:
Be aware that Pixel 3's are having some screen issues too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I saw that, hopefully mine doesn't have any issues. But if anything is going to go wrong it is going to happen to me lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Man, how are you gonna put up with that huge notch. I can never have any intrusion on my screen, not even a tiny notch like the one plus 6t. Unless, you're buying the regular pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
yessir, regular pixel the small 5.5" baby lol I cannot deal with the notch. I had the 6T and it was meh but I still want full screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Attaboy. I hate those notches. And if Samsung went that route I'll leave them. I'll probably end up with a flip phone since everyone is going notchy. [emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I love how Samsung said they won't go with a notch but yet they want to put holes in the screen ugh I don't get it! I am still hoping for pixel 3 ultra or pixel 4 without a notch! And/or S10/Note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Because cameras under screen isnt ready for prime time.

What would your solution be?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] juvenile43:
my opinion is just leave a black bar up top. until the tech is ready. jus try to make it as small as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Agreed

Look above, small bezel top and bottom like note 9 for example. Also to your point I think cameras under screen are ready for primetime. Take a look at the 6T's fingerprint sensor in the screen. It is a camera that shoots up through the screen to read your fingerprint. If you watch a teardown it can see up through the screen because you can turn off oled each individual pixels. So why can't you do this for a front facing camera? Only thing that would be an issue would be smudges on screen from your finger but still you have to worry about that at top of bezel on current phones. Also if companies like OnePlus can make this type of tech I believe Samsung has equal or better tech. I will be shocked if we don't see an s10 premium model with no notch and under display fingerprint or cameras
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So my context in asking was what your solution would be to achieve edge to edge display. Keeping a bezel makes the discussion moot.

Also Samsung spoke about such functionality back in oct
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
If you want edge to edge then I still believe camera under the screen, turn off pixels when you need to take a selfie and boom done. Front camera app closes the pixels on the screen light back up and can't ever tell. Infinity o screen could be like this we just don't know yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] theb1ackoutking:
Will YouTube dark theme help me not get a screen burn in? I just got a note 9 and now am super paranoid about screen burn in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
No. Any stactic interfaces on the screen for long periods of time will possibly cause burn in. Your better watching in full screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] theb1ackoutking:
I usually do watch in full screen just trying to take precautions. Thank you for the quick reply!

Took a few photos today before I send away monday to Sammy. It is unreal how bad it is!

Black screen is dim room

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Had the very same pattern! Sent it to Samsung for repairs which was a nightmare. After fighting them for 3 weeks they finally replaced the screen. But... The issue is back again!

Make sure you send them this picture evidence with the phone. They throw away all packaging so make sure you tape it onto the actual phone or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
ok will do. I am going to take photos of all sides of the phone too. It is flawless with skinomi on whole device and if it comes back with a mark in it I am going to lose my mind and demand a new phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jthomas1987:
And here I was considering a Note 9. Just happened to run across this thread and another about the same issue.

Seriously considering an iPhone 8 now. Not my first choice, but don't want the same issue possibly with an iPhone X.

Tell me again why AMOLED is so great?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] phear86:
I cannot speak to the experiences others have had, or as to why they're having them, but I wouldn't make a judgement on the device based off of a few bad experiences. I have been a long time Samsung phone user (all with OLED screens) and currently a Note 9 user for a several months now. I have not had any issues with my screen (knock in wood). There may be some bad ones out there, and it could even be linked to the model or batch. I was once an Apple technician, and believe me, iPhones can fall victim to bad batches just as easily as any other phone, if not more so. Fwiw, my wife uses an iPhone 8, and is happy with it so far, also has no screen issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I've also had every note and Galaxy except the s9 and this is my first issue ever! It's crazy how good of luck I've had until now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Welp they said nothing was wrong with it! I talked to on phone and they said it passed all quality checks and their testing! I said you better recheck it! Multiple cases on this issue and emailed them photos and nothing! UNREAL SAMSUNG UNREAL!

That's glue gate like huawei are suffering, that's not screen burn in!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
So is there a solution to glue gate. Will the pattern eventually disappear as the glue hardens or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Nope it will not disappear, as the uv glue is not cured. You could try curing with uv light, but i don’t think it will fix it. i did read somewhere some user kept uv light on overnight it made no difference..

My advice take it back to Samsung, and explain to them this is a manufacturing defect.

They have to replace it as Samsung smartphones come with 2 year standard warranty!

Also show them the Huawei P20 Pro pics, as them phones suffer the exact same issue an green tint. Huawei are replacing user phones, NO Questions Asked. They have acknowledged it’s a manufacturing defect, I don’t see why Samsung shouldn’t admit there mistake
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Just show Samsung the pics you took of your device with a small notation stating the environment app used to show this issue as to get your point across. Merely sending them the unit and expecting them to check it would be asking too much lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Wonder if the Samsung centers at some bestbuys will replace the phone? Do they have the power to do that? And Huawei look almost identical!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Best thing is to try them, I’m sure they should have sealed NOTE 9’s for extreme cases, where they need to replace smartphones on the spot..

This is real lame premium phone suffering #gluegate issues! Samsung Q&A is becoming a joke!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah looks like they sent it back to me, unfixed. UPS tracking was updated today and it is in transit. I got 7 new pixel 2 xl from Google until i got one with a good screen and I can't even get Samsung to fix my phone! Let alone replace it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Dude it's best to go to Samsung store or Samsung experience what ever its called! Posting it is a joke! it takes minimum 3 tries via post to get Samsung to rectify the issue.. I have had issues in the past its a joke you speak to one department then you post to another department they don't communicate internally so you are going in circles! Also print out pics and pack them with the phone so they know what they are looking for! Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Bit off topic! There was me mouthing of Samsung as they suck at customer services! My NOTE9 is about 3 weeks old! I’m suffering massive battery drain 7am to 4pm just 4g on sync on phone in pocket come 4pm I’ve lost around 30% to 40% just via standby..

i just phoned up SAMSUNG! They offered to replace my phone with a brand new one :) No kind of questions asked lol! SAMSUNG ROCKS!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Think the samsung store thing can warranty a phone though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mentalmuso:
My experience with this green, central ladder pattern, is as follows..

One day, didn't have any issues.

I removed a film screen protector, then that day I noticed the horrible patterning. Not saying it's related, but I thought notable. As maybe the pulling of the screen maybe had a negative effect. Also noteworthy.. id been on a plane for 13 hours, also the phone went through many x-rays, I'm not a scientist but maybe noteworthy.

Being I have a camera hardware fault, this really annoyed me, though after trying anything I could think of.. the pattern started dissipating gradually, daily, to the point where I don't notice anymore.

Crazy desperate stuff I tried, pressing the screen down semi forcefully, throwing the phone in the freezer for 15min, turning the phone off while I slept. My next step was to heat the screen with a hair dryer.. failing that, heat it again and try some pressure on screen again. All of these things may be risky but that's my documentation.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
That's a no go for me... Shouldn't have to do all that to fix the screen of a $1,000 device. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I agree, some of us just don't have a warranty option, being out of the country that the device was purchased in.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
maybe UV rays from prolonged direct sunlight exposure?

lamination between screen glue and digitizer might be reacting.

like beige plastic turning yellow from exposure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeVilio:
Let me understand this. Some of you guys can see some pattern at your phones, when max brightens, in extremely dark room when watching one very dark green picture and in all your opinion this is problem? :D How often do you watching almost black screen of your phones? :D Just i do not understand why this is so big problem? Do you see this pattern in other conditions? Is this affecting your daily usage of phone? I have note 9 for one month now and checked this dark green image of yours and i don`t have any problems, but if i do i would report this to samsung via some source that can be checked and confirmed later and live with this. If this is beginning of screen damage - this pattern would be visible soon in more situations and so - you can prove that this problem was noticed and reported by you much earlier. For now? Is this any problem? For real?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Well lets see I have a material dark theme on my note 9, so pull down notifications, settings menu, messages and pretty much any Samsung dark themed app. I notice on white screens as well it leaves like a yellowish goldish glow. So yeah I pretty much see it everywhere in everyday use
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeVilio:
Fair enough, and Samsung says this is not a problem? I`ve been with my old S7 in one repair place with battery issue and they told me that everything is ok, so i went to another Samsung official repair center and shop and they told me that main board and battery was damaged.

So - if one guy is telling you that your problem is not a problem, go to other guy or post thing in tweeter - they don`t like bad PR...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yup it passed their repair center quality checks. I am going to the Samsung Experience at bestbuy within the next couple days and seeing what they say

How about the settings menu?View attachment 4679839
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Yeah that looks pretty crazy. If there's an ubreakifix nearby, you should take it in to them and have it warrantied there. I did the same with my note 8 (burn-in) and they replaced the screen thru warranty in a matter of a couple hours, no questions asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lakerzz8_24:
Looks like a body screen protector like IQ Shield could have been the issue when removing it, atleast.for me i took it off rushed it and normticed it a day after, even samsung asked me if i had a screen protector.

My screen is being replaced on sunday, no charge ;) but still if it was the screen protector that really sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Trust me, it's not the screen protector and the issue will come back, as it did for me, even after they replace the screen... Not trying to burst your bubble bro, but this is a much bigger defect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lakerzz8_24:
No pun intended, i did read that the issue came back, maybe it was just me, that i happened to notice it after i took off the body protector its funny how now that i know its there i frrakin notice it more even the guy at UBIF, was like ive never seen this before but he was cool i showed him the XDA page to were others are having same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Wow, I suggested UBREAKIFIX because they're an authorized repair center by Samsung. However, my experience with them repairing my Note 8 was more than terrible. I thought my experience was just the draw of the luck, but after knowing your story with them, Its apparent UBREAKIFIX has failed abroad in offering quality in servicing devices. My story, I had them to service my N8 for the burn in issue. The return time was quick, but upon receiving it and inspection, I noticed they left a fingerprint smudge inside the camera protective glass covering. UBREAKIFIX took it back and attempted to remedy the problem only to see that they cleaned the smudge off, but left a clearly visible debris of lint directly in front of the lens behind the glass covering. This time they claimed they didn't have anymore "kits" to fix the issue and led me to the next nearest UBREAKIFIX. Well they fixed the issue, but upon returning my device back to me is when spotted a long scratch on the back of my phone, along with sloppy adhesive application. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service, and choose not to let them handle my phone anymore. I didnt want the headache anymore.

In your case, some of those scratches looks to be paint chipped from the inside. If you didnt give it to them like this, I would definitely push them to replace it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lakerzz8_24:
Im on android pie one ui beta using the native dark mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I never trust these repair places to begin with and now really don't! That is too bad on your note 8! Did Samsung get you a new one?

Yup you are correct they scratched the underside of the back glass because I cannot feel any of them from the outside. Would have been cool to have an all transparent Note like JerryRigEverything but this is unacceptable! I am curious to see what Samsung will say. I mean how they not get me a new phone now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
They'll probably replace the back glass. It won't have the imei number on it if it gets replaced. Looks like a rushed job. Typical corporate time limit system in place.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I won't stand for a new back without the imei on it. It has a rattle inside too that is unsettling about their business
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
maybe some dude or dudette dropped their ring in it.

but seriously, start your camera then shake the phone again and see if it still rattles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yes it does and tried in 1x and 2x mode and doesn't change. It's not from the camera. I know that slight noise from before it's something inside there lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Actually I didn't pursue. Instead I used it as trade-in credit thru Samsung direct for the Note 9 pre order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
That's exactly what I would have done. The hassle and stress to go through wouldn't be worth it.

yup there you go, look over the edges like mine and see if the paint is chipped underneath from removing the back. i think they start on right side of device
