correct. i talked to them on phone as soon as I got email that said it passed and they said it was ran through all their tests and everything passed without any problems. I was like are you blind??? I emailed you guys photos and nothing. I am sick of this i just want a new phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DickDokster:
New Phone??

Yes Samsung Support suck......I see that you have a long list of past devices what device are you gonna buy next??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Don't know, probably going to get note 9 fixed or exchanged and sell it to be honest. Screw Samsung. I have been using pixel 3 xl for awhile now and love it. Rooted up with mods and the best camera on the market is hard to beat. Probably just going to wait and see what comes out in early half of 2019 unless I can get a good deal on a copper or white note 9 from the bay
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DickDokster:
"Sell It" so I see that how much fu*ked up are you with that Note 9..

I think you should wait for the S10 series which are the first Samsung lineup of devices which has the 'Hole in Display' which I am exciting about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I don't like the hole in display design at all. I still think there will be an s10 without a hole in the display!

Took my phone to ubreakifix Samsung repair center and they are like we don't see anything wrong with display. I said turn brightness down and you really notice in low light. They said they tried it on a black screen and couldn't see the issue. I'm like it's amoled the pixels turn off on a black screen! Are these people that stupid here too?!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Well just picked up note from ubreakifix and let's say that they scratched the glass back now in multiple places. Guess Samsung will be getting a call from me, not happy, I'll have more photos when I get home of all the spots. Looks like from prying the back glass off to me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
More photos when I got home and could sit down with it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah glad I bought a pixel 3 xl in the meantime lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
so appart from the screen fiasco and the half asz job uBreakTheyMakeWorst did, how did the phone compaire up to the Pixel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Pixel excels in camera and buttery smooth ui all working together. Screen isn't as bright and colors aren't as vibrant but a kernel has got it close to the same. Note camera just can't compete with pixel but it has more features and a little better/bigger screen. Battery is pretty close on both. I do prefer pixel size, note is a hair too skinny but I have big hands so not a big deal. Overall both are really great phones really like the combo just wish I could have note fixed

Hi There! Im from the philippines.

I had my note 9 a month ago.I played a game last night and after that I notice a screen burn on my unit.It so frustrating knowing that this is too pricy and you expect the best from this unit. Calling samsung company that you need to replace the unit.This is really frustrating.

I've had my Note 9 just over two months and my screen looks fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
well it got repaired and damaged and then got replaced. but no they will not replace first. has to be repaired 3 times with same issue or be damaged during repair i believe to warrant warranty replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dmn100:
I've just posted another thread about this, but I've basically got almost exactly the same problem on my Note 9 which is 4 months old. I don't think it's burn in but I think there's something behind the display that's causing the problem. You can see it if you shine a UV light on the screen and this object is the same outline as the discoloration visible on the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] HRPuffnstuff:
Well gents it's October and my phone also has some faint screen burn in showing on white pages. I put my brightness on auto and may move to dark mode for all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
it's a cheese grater.

samsung has a stainless steel utensil assembly line in their same factories as their phones.

little know fact: they also manufacture this year's new mac pro chassis for Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
It's pretty unfortunate for those that bought without a warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artstar:
Don't shine a UV light on it and you'll be OK. Cheapest fix ever. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gruuvin:
I wonder if there's something different about the way these phones are being used compared to normal. Brightness not on auto and set too high? Brightness is on auto but often turned up too high because the phone is in a bright environment much more than normal? Phone over-exposed to sunlight? Phone gets too hot? It seems extremely abnormal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] conrail4142:
Experiencing the same issue on my one month old Note 9. This is very disappointing. Not sure what I'm going to do, I don't trust taking it to Ubreakifix after reading bad reviews on here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
its more like ubreaktheymakeitworst.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Bummer. If possible send it Samsung with pictures showing this issue. Else they'll just send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
What's wrong with Ubreakifix? I heard nothing but positive things about them from people I talked to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
well people that are in a jam and just want a working device will be grateful. i mean if you expect 60% then yeah.

but lets say you want a screen replacement or something else and your device is pristine. you might end up with damage around the edges when they pryed off the screen and digitizer. or if its something else like battery or camera, then again, visual damage of the phone's body. of course there's always the fact that the phone is no longer ips68 once its opened. but i guess that would be true of any shop.

on my part I've herd mostly bad things. but i guess its coming from a guy that does things by himself and wouldint trust a 3rd party at all. in fact apart from a phone exchange/replacement, I'd not want to get my device repaired at all and risk doing it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So I took my device in to UBreakIFix for burn in. Few things to note from my personal experience.

1. Samsung states that UbreakUfix is certified (as in as good as a Samsung repair depot) and sends customers to those locations if they are near by

2. IP68 certification is expected to be maintained the same way as it would be if you mailed it off

3. When my screen was replaced, they put my motherboard and camera module into a new body with a new battery

4. There stories of people having devices come back from mailed in warranty repair with issues as far as damage and water damage from brand new devices not holding up to water resistance claims

Making statements like "if you expect 60 %" and "there's always the fact that the phone is no longer ips68 once its opened" seem very misleading considering it's what you've heard and not explicitly experienced.. This hasn't been my personal experience at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
great for you then i guess.

i was just going on the latest reports that i could find relating to a screen repair by ubreakifix:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78599894&postcount=139

I might have gone on a whim there about the IPS rating. but if they pry off the screen/digitizer and dont actualy replace the device as in your scenario( and as reported by oneadroindnut)..i whouldint be 100% confident into dumping it in 1.5 meters of water for 30 mins.

but hey i guess at this point its 50/50 right? some do get a nice repair and some dont.

edit

also i believe there also might be 2 factors at play here:

both you and oneandroitnut had their devices repaired under warranty. technically this is covered by samsung and ubreakifix should be using the best possible means to repair the phone for the best possible user experience.(now why did oneandroidnut's phone had to be repaired 3x is beyond me but still he had to endure this none the less!)

lets say that a device is out of warranty and that replacing the whole device is not possible because it would cost just way to much( out of warranty meas user has to have the money to pay for a brand new housing and basicaly 3/4 of a phone to get the same quality results as you said you had). they would still offer an option to repair cheaper but i can only imagine that they would really just replace the screen/digitizer. id expect less than stellar results form this scenario and possibly the ips rating not guaranteed anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] conrail4142:
I'm getting nowhere with this issue. I can't get a new phone to replace my defective Note 9 with this screen issue, I do not want it repaired as these phones weren't really meant to be taken apart (especially reading the damage ubreakifix and Samsungs mail in repair center did to others Note 9s), and I don't want a refurbished one (bought the phone BRAND new a month ago). I totally regret buying the Note 9, wish I got the 10 plus but can't because Verizon won't let me return the phone since it's past their "14 day return policy." B.S.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Bummer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sugarqfx:
Had the same problem with my note 9 had the screen repaired under warranty, the problem was somewhat fixed, couple months later like 6 months later started noticing it again, never did notice it on lit rooms, only on really dark almost no light rooms, but not as prominent. I now truly believe its not a burn in, but more of a glue or how the screen is manufactured. Whats it looks like is they way the underlying layer of the screen has some maybe glue that are more opaque than some parts thats why those parts are bleeding more light or reflecting more light than the other parts or areas around it! But it definitely looks as what the first person posted! But ever since they replaced my screen under warranty, it still shows but not as bad as how it looked liked with the factory screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] m95c:
I suspect it is not the screen pixels per say, but if you look at all the screens that have that similar "burn in shape" just like mine, I think it is the battery that is damaging the screen from the inside. The placement of the battery and that burn-in shape is in the exact location. So when the battery is fast charging either wireless or through cable, that battery gets very hot and I can feel it through the case during fast charges. Multiple fast charges under high current will probably cause some screen degradation over time whether you have it when plugged in the car for Android Auto or overnight at home. This is a bad design and replacing the screen will not solve the problem, unless they manage to make a screen with better thermal isolation from the battery directly behind it. So one may think the screen replacement was the solution, but I have read others reporting the same outcome in just a short few months to a year again.

I have ordered a new replacement under warranty from Verizon after 10 months of ownership on my current Note 9. I will disable fast charge and see what happens in a couple of months. I still think the battery will get warm but I can extend the long term damage from excessive heat damage from the battery. Just thought.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Your Heat generation comment makes a plausible explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] YesItsTrue:
It's from the keyboard.

I only noticed after switching to GBoard with the little Google icon on the left ghosting in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gruuvin:
All,

I also agree that this screen problem seems very likely to be due to repeated battery heat while fast charging. That seems to be what the patterns indicate.

I have never fast charged my phone, only because the phone goes on a wireless charge pad every night on my nightstand. When I got this phone, I decided this was more convenient than fiddling for a plug in the dark when I am ready to fall asleep, and slow charging is also best for prolonged battery life. I also have a stand-up wireless charger on my desk at work, should I ever need it.

After a year with this Note9, my screen looks perfect and my battery life is amazing every day. I often end the (16 hr) day on 70% charge. Even on days where I wind down the evening with hours of screen time, my phone is never less than 50% charge. I keep my screen set to auto-brightness, and in the house at night it's at a comfortable 30%. That's plenty bright enough. I use dark mode always--it just looks good to me. I don't like being blasted with brightness.

Things like extreme screen brightness and very fast charging are nice features to have on the rare occasions that they are needed, but probably should not be used all the time. I think it would be good if Samsung would include tracking fast-charge and brightness usage over time in their Device Care app and warn when these features are overused before possibly causing damage.

Problem Solved

Hi All, I just want to let you guys know that I've discovered a solution for this problem. I had the exact same ghostly rectangle in the center of my screen for about a week. I can confirm that this is definitely an adhesive being worn-out from the back of the screen. But it is fixable. I intentionally overheated my Note 9 by putting the brightness at max and used google maps navigation for about 20 minutes directly under the sun (phone was kept on the dashboard of my car). After it was sufficiently hot, google maps was closed by the system and I received a popup that the device is overheating. Now I put the device to cool down a bit and voila. The screen is perfectly back to normal.

Device: Note 9 Exynos 128 GB. Made in Vietnam.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AirCon81:
Yeah, that's why i intentionally turned off the fast charging option.

Early degradation of battery + possible burn in.

The battery over-heating can never be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Askank Man:
I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for over 2 years and I always make sure the screen goes black within a few minutes when not in use to protect from screen burn but my AMOLED screen was burned-in with shaddows images of my home screen icons. What makes this very concerning is that I have used a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge for over 5 years and never got any AMOLED screen burn, and I have used a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 for over 5 years and even leave the home screen on for 10 minutes every day until it goes black and the AMOLED screen is perfect as the day I purchased it 6 years ago! So my conclusion is that Samsung displays in the Note 9 are defective. I won't buy another Samsung product unless I get extended warranty protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
May have been a bad display production run that wasn't caught. Samsung should have owned it if so... not good.

My 10+ has a lot usage on it but no detectable display damage whatsoever. All I do is use manual brightness and try to keep it below 50% whenever possible.

I don't use it in direct sunlight.

I use dark mode and dark wallpaper.

Hi

You can test my new app Android:

Title : Morpion V2 (Tic Tac Toe)

Morpion V2 (Tic Tac Toe) is an improvement of the Morpion V1 that I already published.

In this new Morpion, you can now play against the computer or at 1 VS 1 with your friends

The interface has also been improved.

The Morpion is a game in which you must play in turn by placing Xs or Os in boxes.

The 1st that aligns 3 "X" or 3 "O" wins the game.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sospc95.Morpion_V2

Install it and test it

Thanks

Why the hell is so Hard to Monitor app cpu usage per app in Android 8 tried many apps cant Monitor it?

Why the hell Android doesnt have a task manager like Windows has??

Please help..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joecap5:
I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone know?

Based on a video on youtube made in 2014 there was a program call CPU Monitor by ECNApps that did what we're looking for.

That specific CPU Monitor App isn't in the Play Store anymore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwist:
The App "CPU Monitor" by ECNApps is old and outdated. The latest version was released more than 6 years ago. It might have worked on older Android versions but it's broken for newer ones.

It's easy to find the app apk to download, on alternative websites to play store. Just search.

The reason why you can't find apps that monitor the system like Windows task manager does is that Android doesn't allow it to be done. It could probably be done if the phone was rooted but still, it depends on what the system allows.

This feature would.be extremely useful to understand why the phone is slow sometimes. But meanwhile we'll have to keep guessing...
