I recently updated my S7 edge to 7.0 nougat, and while on Snapchat I noticed something that's never happened before. I often snap my friends late at night in low-light settings, and I've noticed that my front camera has these horrific vertical stripes that faintly cover every picture now. They look like old-style scanlines and move around like them in-app too.
At first they were only in low-light, and and only on Snapchat as far as I thought. But now I've realized they're constantly there, even in the camera app, just barely visible in proper lighting.
I'm not sure if this is some new software bug, and if there's anything I can do about it, but it's very unsightly and almost seems like it's getting worse over time. This phone has had a camera failure before, but it was a long time ago, and I feel like it isn't connected to this new problem.
Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!
(I previously posted this to the S7 forum, but realize now that the S7 edge has its own forum).
Unplug from charger and make a photo again. I had this when the phone was charging...

That is absolutely ridiculous... but it worked! Thank you! My next question is if there's any way at all to fix this, or am I forever stuck with this awkward problem?
I see now this issue automagically gone in DQC3 march firmware update. It's ok now when charging.

i just bought a used samsung focus. It is working perfectly except for 2 things.
1) Camera is very bad, no pictures come out well and its not very good
2) The proximity Sensor is not working, i have looked at the service menu for the samsung focus and the box is always red and no number is ever showing (reg shows 0)
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED, im panicking and very sad
Also, i was wondering is there a way to completely reset the phone, and redownload and install the operating system. maybe the software is busted?
Try one of these ROM's to re-flash the phone.

yeh id do as fido said ad relash, sounds like someone gave you a toasted phone or did something to it, because honestly the focus phone cam is the best i've ever had.
I thought it took crappy photos too, until I discovered if you half-press the shutter button then it allows the phone to focus better (and in dark situations it uses a filler-flash so it gets a clearer pic with less of the flash white wash). Since then I've gotten some great photos, even had one used in a newspaper!
Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.
So here's my problem, my device has developed halo all around it when the bg color gets grey. Most of the time , it's not obvious. I can live with that. Recently, my screen starts to show me some tv-like stripes every now and then, it doesn't last long. after one second or two, it disappera and then it'll show from time to time.
I'm afraid it's just the start. It's similar to most of the issue ppl claim as screen flikering or screen jittering or shaking screen, it's a bit different though.
Has anyone encountered the same issue. More importantly, has anyone found any solutions yet? I searched google and failed to find answers. And i looked into it on Baidu,a chinese search engine, where i found some answers that claims it's not the screen issue ,instead , it's just the ribbon cable is lose. And anyone who replace a new screen for that is stupid.I'm just not sure about this.
My phone was bought on the internet and shipped to China, thus, I don't have warranty to rely on. And my phone is only 10 months old. I never dropped it and i have kept it well.(LG logo on the rear back still falls off), I just don't get why LG made this so vulnerable.
Even though i have ordered the nexus 6, my g2 running CM12 is still crazily fast and I don't want to give up on it. I'm so happy about my d802 except for all issues about the screen.
Any help would be aprreciated. Thanks again. Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.

Hi, I also have a problem with the screen on my lg g2, appeared to me that the white line disappears and comes back, when I do print screen and transfer the image on the computer that line is not visible, and that line is not always the same intenziteta.Try to do print screen and set an image or we send the mail to compare the problem
i'm so pissed about the screen, yes, my gnex bought 3 years ago looks yellow and ****ty. but other than that, totally fine, but for g2, ive read so many complaints about it. Guess no one has figured it out. Maybe I will open my phone and try to figure out when the screen completely goes crazy. During I type, it has happed for 4 times . so very annoying.

I think you should try to put in some rom, I hope it's a software problem, I found the solution for my phone cloudy g3:good:
i flash different cm12 nightlies. i don't think its a software related issue. I'm not the only one with this issue. Yesterday I opened this phone ,well with my fingernails. And coz I didn't have the right screwdriver, I wasn't able to open that black cover at the button down bellow the battery, but I cleared the places around the USB port and there's a black tape glued near the camera , I pressed it and I put the phone together and guess what, the problem was gone for one day, and I will continue to keep an eye on it.

Dear all,
I wanted to see if anybody else is experiencing the same issue. I have received my S6 Edge+ on Tuesday and a couple of days ago I have noticed the following problem that annoys me a bit.
I am using a lot of video chat (Kakao Talk if that matters) and every day in the evening I notice black edges of the video screen where my own video feed is usually shown on the top right of my display.
The whole square seems to be a bit lighter / more white too. This is especially noticeable if you turn up the brightness. Normally the square goes away until the morning, but its really not pretty to look at the screen during the evening hours.
I don't have enough posts to attach a sample picture, but anyway my Note 3 camera can't quite capture what I am seeing. When I look at it, there is a noticeable "more white" square with darker edges.
If anybody is interested in seeing it, I can PM you the imgur link.
So my question is: Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Maybe with a different AMOLED phone? Did the problem go away after some time or did you exchange your phone?
I am a bit hesitant to send it in, as since the problem usually goes away over night, they won't see the same issue when my phone arrives at the service center.
If you want to check your screen I suggest to turn the brightness up and use either a white background or "Screen Test and Fix" from the Play Store
Thank you in advance for your time and input.

Not sure if this is the exact case (I didn't read the complete article), but you should look at this :-
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/save-screen-prevent-burn-in-amoled-screens/
Also use the code *#0*# on dialer to verify the screen with each colored pixel one at a time.
Resurrecting a very old thread, but I just burned the "Samsung Galaxy Edge+" text from the boot up onto my screen, which sucks. Bought the international model off Swappa used, so no warranty. Was my own fault, tried flashing a custom recovery onto the phone but it didn't work and got stuck on that bootup screen (which is max brightness, which made it even worse). I was doing something else at the time so couldn't get to my phone, it was probably left like that for about 30 minutes only and that was enough to burn the text into the screen....... WEAK.
Currently trying one of those screen burn-in fix apps from the Play Store, we'll see if it works.....
I successfully revived my phone after a brick - had to take it apart at that. I disconnected the camera module when doing so. After finishing and reassembling it, I noticed that the photos from the back camera were no more than 3 or 4 megapixels. i thought it was badly connected or something (which seemed odd since it still shot somewhat nice pictures, i would expect artifacts) and went ahead and took the device apart, then unplugged and replugged both cameras. After booting, I opened the default camera app. The rear camera snapped into place with OIS but the app didn't show image. Tried switching to the front cam, nothing. After some time it simply crashed. OpenCamera says it can't start it and it might be in use by other app (after closing the stock camera).
Now I connected it again after that and it still doesn't want to work. I might've damaged something, which is kinda unlikely since it worked worse, but still worked after the first teardown.
Maybe it is a software issue? There's some camera firmware I've heard of, might be that too. Or I just trashed the cam, possible too. But what's weird is that the front camera also doesn't work...
Edit: it was the BeastMode kernel... Says it is made for A2017U's and my thing is a G
Lol it was BeastMode Kernel. Thanks for all the help
From yesterday I have been facing this issue. Samsung S8
Phone works fine after unlocking for about 30s to 2 mins and then suddenly a weird yellow flex appears.
I took a screenshot just to verify if it is software or hardware bug, the screenshot turned out to be fine.
I even reset the phone but no luck. Any help would be really appreciated.

Let me ask you. I bet you have a g950u model and are rooted?
looks like a bad ribbon cable. if the screenshot is fine, then its definitely hardware related. Sorry, might be time to RIP this thing as screen replacements arent terribly cheap yet

We had this issue on rooted roms on the snap dragon. If you have aod on and turn the screen off then back on to quickly this exact issue can and will happen usually shutting the screen off waiting for aod to turn on fully then back on solved or just shut of AOD.
