Hi!
I have this single thread line that goes from top of the screen to the bottom. I changes color depending on what color the screen is.
This is a hardware issue but I would like to know if someone here fixed this issue by factory resetting the phone? I read it online.
Tomorrow after work I will go to the store and make them change the screen. I would rather get a new device because I have far more issues with the device, non of them got resolved by factory resetting the phone.
I bought the device 3 1/2 months a go. It is a international unlocked exynos variant.
Anyone else having this kind of issue? Please do share your experience!
I had the same problem as yours. Luckily I can removed it by pressing top right and bottom right of the screen at the same time (the red line is on the right side of the screen).
Sometimes the line keep appearing and I have to press it again.
Hopefully it works for you too.
I unfortunately broke my note 5 screen.
Got it changed from an authorized workshop for INR 9.6k in New Delhi, India.
Bad luck strike again, without any physical damage to the phone a very thin green vertical line appeared on the LHS of screen out of no where.
Pressing the screen, didnt work for me.
I had been to the Samsung store, they say they will be changing the display as its a hardware issue.
Looking for a solution as the line is v irritating and the agency is running of screens. I will have to wait for another week.
Same problem for me with pink line two weeks ago. My S7 is under warranty but sadly Samsung won't repair it because I'm root.
I think that is a very bad actuation with their customers when they know this issue is because a factory defective part.
I'll never buy a Samsung device again after this.
I'll chose a OnePlus for example because they respect the root users without lose the warranty in their products. :good::good:

Thanks razi.
But they can use the knox counter and it doesn't exist any way to reset it...
Also, they know my serial number and probably they have marked my S7 like rooted device.

I'm afraid there is not a knox counter reset solution. If you know it let me know it
I do have the same problem as my Galaxy Note 8 was getting such kind of white and red vertical lines. It was really a worried situation because I have bought it new and was only 4 months old.
I have searched a lot in several forums and discussions of how to fix vertical lines but nothing helped me. Done everything like rebooted my phone, charged the phone to 100%, restarted the device in safe mode but nothing helped me.
At last, I have done factory reset but this has also not helped me and later on I have to change the LCD display. This was the only solution that make me accessible my phone again.

We'd need a lot more information to even begin to guess at what your issues are. Are you saying that both were working fine and without any obvious event e.g. dropping the phone, harsh handling, etc that they have failed?
Also the meaning of "the screen start to be black" is uncertain at best. Can you elaborate and describe that in more detail? Screenshots usually help as well. There is a built in hardware test on the S5 that you can access to help determine if the screen is responding to touch or not, screen brightness and so forth
*#0*#
If no apparent cause is apparent, you should back up any data you wish to save then try installing a full, stock firmware image (with the Odin software), followed by a factory data reset (from the Settings menu) to confirm that the issues are not a software issue.

Hi, I got a videotron (canadian carrier) note 4. Unlock and using it on rogers network. I bought it second hand, and seller didn't told me about the root..... On sammobile site, for the firmware, all canadian carrier have model sm-n910w8 as model #. Is it safe to flash rogers firmware on it? And is there a way to see if knox (probably been tick off) how many time and anyway to reset it. Looking through google but a bit lost. Thanks for your help
Bump
You can boot in download mode to check knox. If tripped it cannot be reset as of yet.
Thanks, that's what I was getting so, no biggies. Now, firmware side, beside sammobile, is that one look ok
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unbri...alaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-bell-rogers-telus-etc/
Mm might be for exynos chip note 4.... Not good I guess
Edit #2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/34574//SM-N910W8/BMC/N910W8VLU1ANIH.html
Seem better but not sure
I don't know much about north American models.
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/10/13...plained-by-region-connectivity-and-processor/
my guess is that any n910w8 firmware will work on any n910w8 phone, just different bloatware from carrier.
That's my guess also and as long as it is meant for Canada

installed the one for rogers from sammobile, but upon flashing thought odin, videotron bloat is still there..... and have to contact seller, as I try to set cerberus and says that devices is linked to another account..... Grrrr and lost sellers #. Still have his address. Hope not a stollen devices.

Followed that how to: http://youtu.be/WlHN7XPDvXQ go through all the prossess. Phone optimize the app.... How to get a return to stock, a full clean install. Any better walk through?

Just flash with Odin and then make a hard reset from recovery. Then download cereus. As of about the bloat you need root to remove anything that comes preinstalled
Cerberus is installed, just can't use it cause device is linked to another account...... Settler swear he bought it new... On kijiji.... Kind of funny I guess
It comes preinstalled on a Samsung official firmware? Never seen that

Would be very surprise was pre-installed. someone else with a N4 could confirm. I know that you can make cerberus a system app if rooted, so a hard-reset, from the phone wouldn't erase it, but I flash through odin, should erase all and put new rom.... Seller don't seem 100% legit if can say, He told me that i could get another security app.... he think that it"s might be the place that have unlock the phone that have put it on it,... thinking asking for a refund
And quick info, capacitive buttons, when they light up, do they look like with thin lines over them (thin black lines) or there is no interruption all white with nothing over

does the button on the stylus work with the stylus moved away from the screen (not touching?).

Air command open when button on stylus is pressed, dot show on screen as soon as stylus is about a inch of screen, a cursor like a | show if there is text under and keep pressing the button. Kies see the phone, as a note 4. What HDC mean? Saw a few pic where the line shows on the net. But still trying to get a refund from seller, he told me he wasn't a store, than he told me to give him the phone, he would sell it and pay me after.... Imei on phone and box don't match, and the one on phone, you google it and get result.... At least not blacklisted on protectyourdata.ca and using the phone.
Any input?
Hi. Hope someone could kindly help me!
My Note 3 is not turning off the lock screen. Its always on!!. If I press the power button the lock screen comes on, after few seconds it quickly flickers (like its trying to close) but turns on again. Its ongoing loop. I have resetted it dozen of times, factory reset now as well but issue remains. I just cant turn the screen off!
It also doesnt want to charge all the time. Is this a USB port issue? I hate to think I need to send it to EE for repairs as its over 1,5 years old and will take at least 2 weeks I think... (cost?)....

Hai,,
Samsung have 2 year warranty within Europe and I dont know outside of Europe, sorry.
But for the phone, if you know that phone havnt been water damaged there shouldn't be any problem, (ALOT) of the Note 3 is water damaged today so be careful with that...same goes if your phone is rooted, could end up paying for the repairs instead.
Phonewise: Broken PBA/powerbutton and a bad USB port..
Hi Im in UK.
However there is absolutely no water damage at all. Its been very well cared for, it looks like brand new including the screen. Thanks

Best would be then to find an authorized samsung service center and either call them and explain your problem or just send the phone to them.
And make sure to have your warranty paper near hand. They might ask for it ://
tried using without a Lockscreen?
I mean selecting None instead of PIN, Password or Swipe

Hi. Yes tried without the lockscreen - same issue. Also with another Lockscreen,,, with no help. The screen just doesnt turn off!
Wonder if its a hardware issue - eg usb port? I tried to clean it the best I can, but doesnt help.
As said Samsung offer a limited 24 months warranty .
But root or custom roms etc will void .
The vendor EE is an alternative but under Sale Of Goods Act you will have to prove that the product should have lasted longer etc via an engineers report .
Hi all
This is what I done. I took the Note 3 to Samsungs repair centre. Shortly: they said they probably need change the usb port and screen and will be done by end of day. No calls nothing. Next day I pop in they say its not been done as there is water damage!!! They show pics of corrosion inside the phone, I believe and leave. They quoted fix it outside warranty to £180.
I go to ebay and bought a new usb port for less than fiver. Changed it today, was 15min job. The phone charges ok I think now, but the screen still not turning off!!! Im gutted.
Interestingly I didnt see any sign of that corrosion when replacing the usb... hmmm... cheeky Samsung repair guys? The phone never seen water, believe me.
Any ideas whats next... I cant afford a new phone or buy new screen.
Thanks
Water damage is part of the repair check list and immediately voids warranty .
Not much you can do if you cannot buy a screen .
Plus water damage may be internal damage and not the screen at all .
I do agree with what you say of course. However I never dropped the phone in water. I did buy the explanation of shower mist or something if the phone was nearby, they showed me pics they took inside of the phone: however when open it up this morning I didnt see any of the corrosion. Have I been tricked or am I blind... :/
ok - ive got a s8, having some hardware issues with it....the phone has never been modded or rooted..but samsung say because my sytem status shows "custom"..its been moddified or rooted...ive argued with them that i havnt, i wouldnt know how to..to proove my point to them the knoxx counter on my s8 reads 0 ..if it had been rooted it would have tripped to show 1 , and from what i ve been reading on the internet..once the knoxx counter is tripped and cannot be reset...prior to my hardware problems , my phone has been back to samsung twice, once for a faulty sim tray that was stuck inside and the secind time the phone wouldnt recongnise any micro sd card inserted into the phone..this is the 3rd time im sending the phone....why are samsung calling me liar ?..perhaps the engineers or tech screwed up my phone previously..

They're being mind my language, dicks to you, your Knox counter is 0 and you have a hardware not software related issue, so really don't know why they're being like that with you, they should honour the warranty, if keep pressing the matter if I were you
i intend to keep pressuring them, i paid £600 for the phone in june 2017 and had it fixed twice already, now the sim tray is very hard to come out and doesnt seat properly when pushed back in, the wifi and bluetooth toggle cant be selected , they are both greyed out...hence ive got no wifi connection..

I noticed your paid in Pounds. If you are located and purchased the S8 in a EU country suggest you show this to the service center:

No it would not, not necessarily, and you aren't helping your case any by arguing this. Knox (the part in question here anyway) has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you have root acces to your device. The only thing that will cause 0x1 is flashing a boot image or some other part of the bootloader. Every single rooted snapdragon s8, s8+, and n8 is so with counters at 0x0. It's not possible increment a custom flash counter if there device won't allow you too flash custom software in the first place.
What will help you is pointing out that its almost certainly where you live it where the transaction took place illegal to refuse a warranty for modifying a device you own. It's definitely illegal in the UK, and definitely illegal in the USA.

I live in Denmark and if I had the problems you are experiencing I would just keep returning it to the store/shop I bought it at.
As a consumer in Denmark I dont have to tackle Samsung, that would be the store/shop's problem and the store/shop would be obliged to service/repair/replace my product.
And most importantly, if the store/shop cannot repair/fix the problem(s) within reasonable time/ tries (in Denmark that is 3 tries) I can demand my money back.
As UK's divorce papers have not yet been ratified I would assume same consumer law/regulation applies in the UK.

yes that is an interestimg read, i want samsung to prove that i have modded or rooted the phone. The securtiy measures that samsung have installed ie, the knox counter is such a measure that shows if the phone has been rooted, clearly not as the counter is 0. The phone was previously taken back to the o2 store twice and twice they said to send it to samsung which i did. i will refer the link to to samsung customer support if they dont fix the phone. I have booked a repair on tuesday , UPS are going to pick up the phone..i wait and see what happens..i have also reset tothe phone to factory settings and updated to the very latest stock firmware via samsang smart switch...the problems still remain...unfortunately..
Think I found problem with my s8. It's the the sim tray it doesn't seat properly and is very hard to open with the sim tray removal tool..I'm not surprised as this has been repaired before for SD card and sim tray issues..with an SD card inserted the phone status changes to official and when removed it goes back to custom...so go figure that out. I've taken pics and made a small video to show Samsung if they refuse to fix my phone.in fact I'm gonna ask for a new s8.
Hi
Like the a previous poster from Denmark said, your contract is with O2, they are obliged to fix or repair it, if it needs to go back to Samsung, that is for them to arrange, too often they tell the customer you must return the phone to the manufacture, hoping you are not that clued up on your legal rights.
I appreciate you have arranged to have it collected and repaired, but we all need to remember, the shop takes your money and its the shop that should make sure the goods are fit for purpose
Trev
i got my samsung s8 back a few days ago, they didnt send me a new phone because it comes under warranty repair. Anyway third time lucky, they have fixed the issues with the phone, the sim tray is still a little hard to push out with the sim removal tool but open enough to pull out with my finger nails. The phone status is now official. They did lock my phone back to carrier lock , ie O2....i had to unlock it again..but all seems to be working fine so far..
If you in the UK you should have an F model yes? If yes just root it and flash a stockish rom that appears normal to common people. Use some sort of kernel or whichever permits official and Knox 0x0 for your warranty issues. I've had ALOT of Sammy phones, all rooted and I took all in for warrenty at least once except for my g955F as I'm in the states. With Knox tripped and still got the replacement or a new,phone. Even told em its rooted and still got the warranty.
Have spent the last few days reading about the horizontal lines on the S7 edge and am more confused than i was at the start.
Is there any solution that works to get rid of them? I have found a "flicker free" kernel and many other option but before i start trying it all i thought to ask maybe someone has had the same issue.
My device is a 935FD fully stock, nothing has been updated, rooted, flashed or similar. Today an OTA update from Samsung came and since the i have horizontal lines over the screen.
A factory reset or cache partition wipe hasn't helped.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I had the exact same issue with the lines, had to give in my phone at Samsung to repair. There are options to minimize the lines, but it will stay there. According to samsung the led was broken, hence the lines

Samsung is turning more and more into Apple and i really hate buying stuff from them lately.
There are hundreds of reports online that the lines eventually disappear in many cases after a while. Also when full brightness is on there are no lines so how can they claim the LED was broken
I did the full brightness thing for about a month. The battery life sucked. The lines were less visible when on full brightness, but not 100% gone. It irritated the crap out of me, so I took it in after about 2 months of trying all the things I read on the subject and hoping it would go away. Some people were lucky and it went away, I was not...
Just change the display with a new one
