[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] joedellosso69:
Well, your thoughts are mostly true and the timings of how long a product might last is often previously calculated by the companies even if this, called programmed obsolescence, is illegal in many countries so companies figured out a lot of ways to do it (hardware that lasts not so long after the warranty period or not updating software any more after the warrenty period for examples ).

It's even true that we have to thank laws that protect us as consumers for having these long warrenty periods that we have and, here in Europe where I am, that means 2 years for elettronics even if Apple initially tried to apply it's only one year warranty even here and got sanctioned from the European commission for that.

In the other hand, it's not so simple for companies to upgrade there software if having a lot of models and that's the main difference from Apple having one or two models (models not intended for the size of the screens but for the differences in inside hardware) a year and so they can apply there new software even for there 6 year old models and other's having a bunch of models a year because in some cases, like Samsung, thinking for this even for all there other productions in elettronics (TV's, ect, ect...), the crew of engineers needed only for the updates will be bigger than the number of engineer's and workers on the production line that are needed to build entirely a phone or what ever other is ....

.... so, to be pragmatic, updating like Apple does for other companies can't be done even if, for Samsung, something is now moving in this direction because they announced that for at least this year's and lasts year's flagships models (S, note , fold ) and for the future ones, 3 years of main updates (3 OS's) will be guaranteed against our actual 2 years of full updates.

Samsung visit

they already knew when I show them my phone and told me to replace the screen directly. 200 USD ... no freaking way my phone is like 14 month old only. why should it break! its a faulty display or firmware and regardless of warranty they should fix it. they want to charge me 10 for inspection. after all these charges they will not garantteet if it will work or i might pay more ... what is this costumer service! after I try to complain they just repeat their simple minded script in a loop.

I got on their live chat, not surprisingly the same exact scrip. exactly in the same order. this is their tip of the line flagship(t)... and they were extremely rude which is not something you see often in Taiwan.

did anyone try to flash an older firmware to see if it got resolved?

I appreciate any help and support to get out of loop.

I'll try the Samsung flashing to flash it fresh and update here.

I think it may have to do with it being exynos that has alot of problems because I buy usa unlocked and my note 8 it lasted over 2 years and still looked and worked new when I sold it. And bought the new note 9 usa unlocked both snapdragon processors. I'm not having any issues out of it so far only had it about 6 months so far so only time will tell but the note 8 was flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] joedellosso69:
Thinking in something new.... no one is able to see how many hours a screen worked?

Can there be a possibility that the screen might have a maximum operating life and after that these issuses can accure ?

For what I know, mostly everything has an operating lifetime.

For example, leds and TVs have it, oleds for TV have it, PC cooling fans have it, lights in our house have it, etc, etc.

So, if even our screens have an extimated operation lifetime, what is it and how can we know if we reached it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] amirfathi:
Just to update back on what I did

So I lost my temper as a nerd and did stuff with odin3 just to reflash the firmware ... didn't work.. same issue. Device heats up then the screen goes yellow

So I tried to role back the firmware to Pie but I can't cuase the bootloader is different and odin can't flash android 9 anymore.

I will look into it more see if I can role back and see if it fix the problem. Cause as long as the device is cool the display is gorgeous but it goes yellow after few minutes of use
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] schn1tt3r:
Happened to me just now. It happened when I locked my phone at the same time as I got a notification. The screen didnt know if it should turn on or off and now, even when restarting, I see green tint. No fix for this still?

EDIT: I hope Linus from Tech Tips gets this. He still uses the Note9 because he hates punch hole camera and wants the headphone jack. If his fails like ours, he won't be happy at all.

EDIT2: PWMfree app makes the screen very tolerable. I installed it, turned blue light on and dark mode on, turned PMWfree on... then blue light off and dark mode off, and now it looks pretty decent. Not a 100% fix, but better than nothing. Also, noticed an update on my device, and it is "installing system update" now with the screen all greenish and horizontal lines... So yeah, pwmfree is a very temporary fix.

Getting the yellow haze too..

Seems plenty on the net on it..

Also seems to be a software bug as only started on last update for me..

Any Ozzies on Vodaphone.. And have it happen yell out here so we can document it..

I am pissed ad had same thing with the S7 I think where it git the "tinge" after 15 months I got lucky on that one and Vodaphone replaced in almost strieght away..

But I have a bad taste with samsung/google on the nexus tab that also had the did colouring.. (Major one that one with brown spots and both companies took no responsibility..)

Kinda why I went huawei on the P9 and it's still.going strong..

Anyway.. Am on the case of vodaphone next week as I am having to reboot to get the bloody thing back to standard colour..

Of note I am using "turn off the lights" and it randomly fixes it..

Boot is the main fix for a few hours.. But its giving me the ****z..

Edits: I got lucky had 3 days warranty left and took it in and they replaced with a new phone.. will run with this one then head the google one when it settles. This is why I went to Huawei after the S7 problems with the screen going brown.. looks like this is the last Samsung phone for me.. considering we are paying top money for them..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
At the very very least Samsung Aholes should allow us to roll back.

I have spent 3 weeks looking into this.

This is what I think.

It hit a lot of phones. Pixel, Rog3, Nokia, you name it they have all had hardware issues.

It starts small and then kills the hardware i.e. even if they let us roll back to 9. I do not think it will fix our problems.

Something happened during that update that caused our phones to develop these issues

BTW in Samsung it has hit the Exynos phones harder than it has hit the Snapdragon version.

It has nothing to do with screen life. Rather I feel the older phones have already been thru more heating and cooling cycles so the BGA solder joints were not as strong as say a new S20+ which just got made.

I feel if we catch it fast most time a simple re-ball should fix the issue.

The display IC and the Sound IC are very close to each other. What gets hit is just a matter of luck or which one you use more. I use my Audio more than I use my display so in my case display was ok but Audio packed up.

If a flagship phone cant last 2 years then there is something seriously wrong with the company.

First thing we need to do is figure out how to revert back to Android 9. I think we should all write Samsung or just flood their community pages.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ubejd:
n960n here.

this issue came after i flashed the last update, i think it has to do with the new bootloader in my case.

waiting for the new update to check if its fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] fud0ne:
Also using the N960N but on a custom rom (N960NKSU3ETF4_DevBase_v7.3). I don't have the problem with the screen but it seems like it's only a matter of time before every Note 9 owner deals with this issue.

Was it the June 2020 update that caused the screen problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ubejd:
yep the june update did it for me.

im in a custom rom too.

tried to downgrade the bootloader but it didnt fix.

i saw today the new update is out for N models, when i flash i will report back for the results.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Patilag:
Reasonably good solution is:

1 use OLED Saver app (available on play store) and

2 use always on display toggle on(lock saver menu or search in display settings)

This more or less resolves the issue which is just a software related for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] addy37:
For now it seems to be a software issue. Trying using OLED SAVER app from the Play Store. It is helping to an extent. Hopefully Samsung should realise that it should not force people to get new devices or replace screens for a software issue of theirs. Hope this helps

The september 2020 security update did solve the problem a bit (the greenish screen)

But the color still feel washed out just like there are thin white transparent layers....and has thin black line if we tried to browse with white backgrounds...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] addy37:
So after many attempts to solve the display lines and yellow colour issue, i finally went to the Samsung service centre. (Purchased my phone at launch in 2018) No Warranty now but always used UAG Phone Cases so phone is in pristine condition.

They took the phone and within 10 days replaced with a NEW DISPLAY @ NO COST. Had to follow up a few times but it paid off.

No one claimed or said anything about the issue why it was persistent or the cause of it .

With the change of display, the issue resolved miraculously. I am happy to have my note 9 again with a brand new display.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Adhilvpd:
Nop...still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
I posted this on another thread but here is a possible fix.

a. Open the back cover. Look for any microscopic tiny balls of lead. (Indicates over heating).

b. Take out the mother board. Wash it in an ultrasonic machine or use a tooth brush and iso.

c. Inspect display flex and port for any dirt or damage.

d. Put it all back together.

I hear this has helped a few people.

Ps: I fixed my Audio problem they wanted Rs 26500/- with a 2$ part from China.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pichai:
This problem appeared in April, and until now in November, Samsung still has not resolved it. Just like the explosion of Samsung Note 7, you only need to file a lawsuit against Samsung! Otherwise, Samsung will not admit its own problems, it will only delete the posts in the forum, and then tell the user that your display screen is broken and you need to replace the screen! This is Samsung's consistent style, with a very poor attitude!

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Lasted for half a year, the BUG that seriously affected the user's use, Samsung regarded it as nothing happened!

There is also the possibility that Samsung did this deliberately, and he hopes that users will quickly replace new devices!

I have no good impression of Samsung, the next mobile phone must be iphone!

After receiving so many complaints, Samsung still did not admit its mistakes!I think this error is intentional by Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
did you guys read the article Forbes did on Samsung and the S20 Camera Glass Cracking and when they contacted Samsung they said we have had no such problem. And then Forbes posted links showing thousands of users were facing this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I hate to tell everyone, but this is not a software issue. I had the same issue a year ago after walking at the track on a sunny day with the brightness turned up. There was a whole thread about it in the general section. The only fix that I found was replacing the screen myself. Samsung refused to do it because I am in the US but had a Hong Kong device.

Apparently the Note 9 screen had fickle curing glue that will melt or something with high heat. It happened to a good bit of us even on pie.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/screen-burn-check-thread-t3851263/page24

So either replace the screen, or either move to a new device. It's just a hardware problem that will eventually show itself.

With the replaced screen, I baby it by never turning brightness up all the way and not using it when it is heated up. It sucks to have to go through such measures, but it is a hardware flaw unfortunately.

Also, I would like to add, that I have been on every android 10 release without having any discoloration on my new display. It's definitely no a software issue.

I have my N960N updated to OneUI 2.5 with all the latest updates installed and it seems to be working OK. But I keep it as a backup device and backup my N950N to it every few months. In case my N950N starts to die. I use my N960N every so often to check if things work well. So far I have not had any display, or overheating issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] now7460:
The exact thing happened to my Note 9. if it's overheat the screen display will drop the brighness and turns yellowish.

This happens early this year (2020) and its out of warranty already. If its cool after an hour, it will return to normal color screen.

And it you use it for quite sometime, it start to change the screen display. Ive contact the Samsung Centre, they asked me to go the

Samsung Service Centre in my area. Problem is my place does not have a Samsung Sevice Centre. From the pictures attach you can see

the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] moncd6:
Hello there, I´m in Guatemala. And I am sadly the newest member on the Note 9 discoloured screen. Just happened this morning, I wasn´t even doing something that require the screen or phone at high temperature.

So my question for all of you is the following one:

* I've read and confirmed that switching to Pie is not an option due to the baseband.

*Changing the screen is almost as expensive as buying a new phone. I'm also out of warranty

* The guys that changed to a Custom ROM, did it worked? Please let me know, if you have any manuals or HOW TO step by step, I would certainly appreciate it.

*Tried with OLED Saver, but the horizontal lines did not came out.

Has anyone found a solution yet? Thank you very much for your time. Hate that discolorured screen =(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Magic_Conch:
Hi,

So I just bought a refurbished note9 yesterday and the screen started showing gray stripes today.

It seems to be related to PWM dimming as the stripes are the most visible in low brightness and would disappear when you pump it to max.

Obviously I had to return it, but I am just wondering if this is a intrinsic issue by Samsung (in which case I will not consider this phone from any retailer) or just sketchy parts being used

I received the August 2021 Security update today on my factory unlocked SM-N960U1 using AT&T. The phone has worked fine since new. Rebooted with yellow screen after update. Actually the boot screen is fine but then it shifts to yellow washed out. Tried the various things mentioned here and from googling. . It was working fine till the update. I was hoping to keep it another year. I am reluctant to try oled saver because of the permissions it needs.

Hi, is the always on display fix permanent? Or does it get worse.

I started having yellow tinting today. And using AOD keeps the screen normal and from switching to yellow tint when it's completely off and switched on again.

So will this yellow screen tint turn into flickers and screen switching off or can I use it for a another year with this AOD solution?

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mihnoi:
This is my workaround. I use an app called "High Brightness Mode" by flar2. It's 1$ i think. And another app to manually set the brighness of my screen, like oled saver (it even has auto brightness). Only using pwmfree or oled saver doesn't remove the green/yellow discoloration and horizontal lines. I use the app also because it activates automatically when i open the screen. Think i found another app, free, here on xda named also high brightness mode but requires root and you have to activate it everytime you open the screen.

It's not perfect as the app doesn't reactivate after a call or after the screen dims but i use its widget on homescreen to reactivate it with 1 touch, so that's nice. You guys now have a "normal working phone". Cheers
