Screen Flicker Issue - Fascinate General

Just took advantage of Best Buy's Free Phone Friday. Unfortunately, I am getting this bizarre screen flicker. I notice it most often in low-light situations, and usually while entering text in whatever app I am in. The flickering has occurred with auto-brightness on and off. The phone is not rooted, and is pretty much "out of the box". Does it seem like I have a dud phone? Could it be the LED backlight?

Take it back. BTW, SAMOLED screens don't have a backlight.

Yup. It's simply a manufacturing defect with the screen. Be sure to test it completely before you leave the store though. Samsung needs better quality control with these.

Just got my 003 Evo!

Returned my 002 Evo to the horrible radioshack and went to bestbuy mobile and bought myself a new Evo.
Things I've noticed at first glance. The epson screen and the battery cover. The screen is noticeably much more vivid and brighter. The matte cover on the back has a great finish and feels like a Nintendo DSi. No more light leakage!!! Woot! And odd but the power button responds much smoother and feels a lot better when pressed down.
Also some info I got from the reps there were that Sprint is going to put out another update to fix the 30 fps limit. Great news and I played around with the black and white demo evo. It has a GLOSSY finish which totally turns the phone off to me, because of finger prints and it looks incredibly ugly in my opinion.
I checked the firmware on my evo and it's still 1.32.651.6! I can still root my phone!
DT10.06.17 is my build date.
This is the Evo I should've received during the launch date. This phone is incredible!
Edit: After playing with the phone today, the speaker is much louder & the call quality is much clearer and louder than my 002.
Yay for you.
I too am still on old version...but wonder how can we get to any new updates if they all locked like new OTA. Hope this only means (yay devs) that we just have to wait a little longer between updates to get new stuff.
That 30fps fix would be nice to see...but store reps lie like rugs. (Oh wait, did I say that outloud?)

I've seen this stated both ways on this message board. I think that it comes down to preference.
There's no way that the Epson screen is brighter than the Nova. Might yield more accurate colors, but out of the thousands of reports, the Nova is much brighter always. Are you sure you have an Epson screen? Not all 003s are Epson (as it's my case). I'll only believe it when I see pictures.

Epson: Better quality, not as bright.
Nova: Purple tent, brighter.
Or that's how I would put it.
Why are so many people thinking that if its 003 its Epson? I got a build date of Jun 16 and its Novatec. So they know the problem exist and they keep sending phones with Nova. I think there is something else involved in there.

Thank god I'm buddy's with the radio shack guy, he's getting me a new one even though I kinda don't even need one. So he will not update it if I ask him to not update it....I'm just not sure which screen I prefer. I love the Nova screen, I just can't imagine a screen looking much better. If the Epson isn't as bright that kinda sucks, though more accurate colors do sound good...and then there is the issue of the 30fps thing. The hack we have currently works out awesome on my Nova...I wouldn't want massive tearing, however if they do address the bug then it is a moot point.
Buuuut I don't think that they are ever going to. I might just turn down the new one and deal with my slight light leak and very very minor screen lifting. It hasn't gotten any worse in 2 weeks.
Hmm, decisions decisions....
There is that "fix" for screen separation that involves a hair dryer. I've been wanting to try it as people who have done it say it works. Plus people with N1's said they had the same problem and the hair dryer "fix" does the trick.
A quick way to tell which screen you have is with the "Power Control Widget" If you cycle through the brightness settings and it instantly changes you have a Epson, if it fades in and out for each change you have a Nova. At least that's what I have been reading in the forums.

Instant brightness change. I also compared it to my GF's launch day 002 and they are hugely different in screen colour/sharpness.
Hm true it's not as bright as the nova only difference is in direct sunlight, BUT the colors are much more vivid and yes I do have a epson. Tried the power control widget and my screen doesn't fade like it use to, it changes the difference in a split second. My build date for the phone is not bad either. DT10.06.17.

True Black

So, I stumbled across something really cool (quite) a few minutes ago: apparently our devices really can power a few pixels selectively. In my accidental confirmation of Samsung's claim, I was able to get one of NoLED's notification icons to show on the screen without lighting up the rest of the black area for literally a split second.
Here's how:
1. You will need the app "NoLED" in order to continue. In the NoLED settings, make sure you have the icon for sms activated as well as the proximity sensor. My sms icon is set to a lime green, but I doubt that will affect this "test."
2. Send yourself a text message either from your own phone or from some other sms capable device. If sending it to yourself from your own phone, quickly lock the device using the power button after pushing send.
3. Allow NoLED to start flashing around the icon for sms. Wait roughly 5 seconds for the proximity sensor to activate.
4. For steps 4 and 5, it would be wise to be in a completely dark room to be able to more easily tell the difference between the true black and the lit black. With the proximity sensor now active, place your finger over it. The screen should turn off.
5. Now, upon removing your finger pay close attention to the icon that will appear. The icon will show up a couple of milliseconds before the rest of the screen activates.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if needed to witness the true black.
This is proof that our SAMOLED screens can display true black.
I am not a developer so I have no idea how to act upon this find to, if possible, adjust settings in the our software to allow true black.
If you happen to know someone who is capable of modifying the kernels or ROMs for our devices to allow this behavior, then by all means have them follow the above steps to see the proof.
Though I hope this minor find can give someone the inspiration and/or start place needed to make these adjustments, I realize this is but a pebble in a world of boulders. Therefore, I remain skeptical and strongly advise others not to get your hopes up.
If anything, it is at least nice to see that Samsung wasn't just lying about the capabilities of SAMOLED screens, but also makes one wonder why they don't allow true black from the start.
Now, time to hit the hay.
Goodnight all.

When i power the device off in a dark room, at the end of the power off cycle I get a black screen that isn't black like the other black screens when the phone is on. It looks like it's glowing in the dark or some junk, and you can see a weird pattern like something smudged across the screen.
Is this the type of thing you're talking about? That our devices, when showing black, are actually working to show that black and not just "turning the pixel off" er whatever?

Yes, if I'm understanding you correctly that is what I'm talking about. That glowing, almost grey effect shouldn't need to occur in order to show black. I hope it is something that can be hacked, but I don't know.

I guess this makes me lucky to have 1 pixel stuck on blue. I can easily see the screen turn off in almost any lighting condition.
Couldn't it be that what you're seeing is some kind of residual charge left at power off or some pixels that change states at slightly different rates? I've seen it too and it seems to be a different pattern every time. Also, some of the forums regarding screen burn have talked about samoled break-in so maybe that has an impact as well. Can't factor out power supply leakage either, I guess.

It is true all of those things could be probable, but in order to prove that the pixels aren't turning off you could disable the lock and screen dimming functions with an app and display a black image. Then in low light conditions you could easily see the blacks are actually a very dark shade of grey. If the pixels were turning off the image would over time obtain deeper blacks as the residual charge runs out.
I, and many others, suspect the phones are programmed to not turn off the pixels. Only question is, why? The only thing this type of test wouldn't be able to prove or disprove is power supply leakage.

That sucks to have a stuck pixel! Have you tried having the phone replaced? I don't know for sure but a stuck pixel might fall in the manufacturer defect category, so you might be able to have the phone swapped for free?

Or you can go and download Screen Test and get to the black screen part of the test. It is so hard to notice, but blacks are ever so slightly lighter than if you were to turn the screen off, but it is really hard to catch. Either way, they trump any LCD black levels. They even make my Panny plasma look bad

Didn't know about that app but I'm sure it would work just as you say. And by the way that would be much easier to notice if you were in complete darkness. I'm completely satisfied with these amazing screens, but it would be awesome if we could obtain true black.

It's only one and it's on the side, it does work sometimes. I use noled and it seams to come on at the exact same time as the notifications. Cover the proc sensor and it turns off.
Have you tried jscreenfix from the market? It's free and alot of feedback suggests it can work on stuck pixels.

Calm down man, was just a suggestion lol. But that's interesting, considering mine is extremely noticible in darkness even with the brightness turned all the way down. I suppose each phone would behave differently in this respect though.

Well I guess that isn't too bad, hopefully it isn't a sign of things to come. Back when I had my Storm 1, I had a red stuck pixel. It wasn't too bad either until it started spreading a few months later. That's okay though, I was one of the lucky ones who got a Storm 2 as a replacement from Verizon. If you havent, you should definitely try that app mentioned above though.

Yep I tried that app. I kind of like it now, maybe I will name it lol. I will save it for later, if I scratch the screen or something It will give me an excuse to get a new phone

by light leak you mean through the casing of the unit or what exactly
When the screen is on but black, as in start up, you can see white light at the edges bleeding through. Many screens have this, a huge problem with Ipad2, but I think it's a defect of sorts.

Because the OP doesn't have to settle for it? Light bleed isn't supposed to be on this device if was properly put together.
Just exchange it, hopefully the new one won't have the light leak issue. From reading other topics it's not an issue on all Tabs.

BlueHue/YellowHue/Speakers - Google's Response

I gave Google a call about the pink hue after trying to ignore it all day. I was told that anyone with a pink or yellow hue should return the device as soon as possible and that those units are from an early batch. The engineers are apparently trying to resolve the issue now. The glue curing advice is incorrect and I suggest you don't wait their suggested 10 day wait time.
As for the speakers, they should both be equal. This includes both bass and treble and the sound (including volume) from both speakers should be identical.
For anyone who isn't aware, stock is kept aside and priority is given to replacements. So if that's all that's holding you back, get sending.

Google Nexus Support, then screen, then screen not working. It requests a call for you. I'd link but I'm restricted with less than ten posts.
I had to keep pushing for him to admit it was a defect and that they are working on it. So there's a little bit of tippy toeing happening I think.
Sadly I can't go through Google for my replacement (with an Aussie carrier). I'll be returning it tomorrow.
Yea, I googled it, lol what was I thinking.
Anyway, thanks for post. After talking to my rep (who was awesome about everything, no tip toeing around, he just wanted to make sure I was happy with my phone) he had me test the screen a little and decided that a replacement was required. Just have to tell my bank another charge is coming and it'll be on its way. I highly recommend giving them a call if you're having color issues with the screen. (I never saw pinks, just yellow)

What kind of test did you do?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
All he had me do was crank brightness to max, no adaptive or auto brightness, then scale it back to about 1/3 brightness and report what I saw.
Thankfully I'll get to at least check out the two next to each other when the new one gets here. I didn't wanna take one of the replacements if I didn't need to.
For anyone wondering what the best way to identify the fault is, this is what I did:
First turn off Adaptive Brightness and then slide the brightness to the lowest setting possible. Then open up a white page and slide it back and forwards. Then turn on the Adaptive and try again. If it's hugely noticeable, then you have a defective unit.
Generally the pink or yellow hue issue decreases slightly with Adaptive Brightness off + sRBG mode in the developer options. The hue is increased on lower brightness, with Adaptive on.

This is not a defect, AMOLED screens at the lowest possible setting shift more than IPS LCD towards a pinkish/red hue. Yours may just be slightly worse, but if the effect is only noticeable on the lowest brightness setting then this is not a reason to RMA. Your unit is not defective

I'm not saying it isn't defective. I'm saying that that method of testing is flawed. Just turning down the brightness and looking to see if it turns red is not a great way of testing. AMOLED screens, at the lowest brightness a significant amount of color shift to red/pink. Even if it's only in a portion of the screen, if its only visible on the lowest brightness it isn't a defect. I can say that without seeing the screen. If, though, its red/pink on higher brightness its likely defective.
I must have been confused by the statement "Your unit is not defective".
does anyone have any pictures of what the blue/yellow/pink hues look like?
Just wanted say that not all amoled screens have this pink/yellow hue and it's definitely not normal. My Nexus 6 amoled has none of that...so considering the 6P has even a better display it shouldn't have that either.
I have two nexus 6p and there's a difference in screen color for sure
I'm hoping that some of these super-delayed 128GB models (such as mine!) are delayed due to taking steps to minimize issues such as this. I'm probably dreaming, but hey, it could happen!

Apologies, I should have clarified. That method of testing simply helps view the color changes a bit more clearly. You're able to see it increase and decrease, instead of having nothing to compare the current screen with. Doing that gives the numerous color changes.
The pink tint at the lower brightness (at least to the level mine was), is not normal. It's almost a deep purple. It's also there at a higher brightness. Place this phone next to another and it's pretty obvious . You're never going to get a perfect screen with AMOLED , but this is terrible.

Will Always on Display future get screen burn on the samoled?

Wouldn't the always on screen burn the pixels on the screen? What you guys think?
It's not fixed to one location, it moves around in timed intervals to prevent burn in.
I understand, but the navbar ( in other phones with amoled) is not on all the time and it gets burned on the screen too. I dont know I guess if there is and option I will turn it off

Yup, nav bar is high contrast and fixed position on the screen. Hence the reason Samsung continues to use capacitive buttons. I don't think the always-on feature will cause burn in, since it jumps around.

I think some people are overly paranoid about burn in (not that there's anything wrong with that). I have had the S3, S4, S5 and the Tab S and never had any issues with burn in.
Good, maybe u didnt notice, i had s6 note 5, note 4 all of them had burnin
They have always on displays in stores look at the phones all of them have burnins even the s6 note 5's
Super Amoleds get but ins thats the type of technically they are , they are beautiful the best displays, but the pixel's degrade.
This is why I just can't commit to phones with AMOLED screens. These are too expensive to have issues such as burn in a different whatnot. I know the technology is improving but burn in still exists.
Never had burn in with any of my phones with amoled. Non issue for me.
