My wife's S8 screen have issue out of sudden.
It happened when she was using it and suddenly screen starts flickering.
The phone is just 14months old.
Never in my life have this issue before especially a device that's just 1yr+.
Tried safe mode, adjust adaptive display, off light filters but still the same.

Hi, started this thread to see if anyone had the same problem I'm having with my screen.
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (Octa-core variation), it is running 4.4.2, rooted, stock Touchwiz.
The problem is that the screen starts to flicker almost as if it would want to turn off, when in low light conditions and auto-brightness on, it continues to flicker unless I set the brightness between +2 and +5. I can reproduce the issue without auto-brightness setting the brightness to the lowest, one notch above the lowest and there is no flickering. It is noticeable in white backgrounds and also when swiping down the notification center, that's the most noticeable instance but you can see it in the home screen and in any app.
I started noticing it when I had 4.2.2 Jelly bean (rooted), and I updated to Kitkat hoping it would be solved but it is the same, I updated through Kies and rooted, no Factory reset, I want to try that as last resort.
Funny thing I discovered is when I set Juice Defender to control my brightness it does not flicker even in -60% brightness, but when the dimming happens before the screen turns off it does flicker (and the dimming thing is controlled by the OS I think, not Juice Defender).
I wish I could put up a video but I don't have another phone to film it.
Anyone know if this is software or hardware? What can I do?
I'd like to add, that I changed the battery, disabled overlays in developers option, forced GPU rendering, tried Pimp my rom and played with all the settings, checked and unchecked every option in Display settings and it still flickered given the low brightness conditions.
I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" works like a charm by enabling backlight control feature... Try it out first, then thank me and share your experience here ...
It adds greyish tint to blue and black colors. This happens when night clock is on, sometimes randomly. Sliding brightness levels seems to fix this. Anyone having the same issue?
Pictures on this thread (it was not made by me but it shows the issue very accurately).
Edit: now by phone seems to freak out. When i slide down notification the phone turns to bright green. Turning the phone off and on fix it, but it is such an expensive phone with such issues... so dissapointed.
No?
No problem here
I started to have this weird problem all of sudden on my phone where the screen flickers on different apps, a solid color of thing that's being displayed on the screen comes up from the bottom of the screen which covers up more than half of my screen and sometimes the whole display.
I installed one of the screen filter apps from the PlayStore which fixed the problem by having an overlay on the screen but the brightness has decreased so I am unable to see the screen n bright light(like outside), I can't figure out if this is a software problem or hardware since the screen is perfectly fine when I have an overlay/filter app running in the background.
I have tried resetting the phone, installing a custom rom and disable hardware overlays etc but still no luck
Samsung Galaxy S5
Running CyanogenMod 13.0
SM-G900L
My screen flickers from time to time whenever i log in to a certain app the black colours seem to try to adjust it's happened a few times now is this a hard ware fault or the auto brightness trying to adjust?
I notice it happens sometimes in youtube too when i exit the app. The screen seems to scramble for a split sec. Is this normal?
I accidentally banged it yesterday tho i have a protective case.. if i have dislodged a cable would the sympyoms be much worse?
I think the flickering happened even before i banged it so maybe it's just the adaptive display tryna adjust.
I had screen flickering in my s3 but that was blamed on the auto brighhtness adjustment. Is this the same thing though different?
Hi,
I am using S8 SM-G950FD on stock android 8.0.0 from year+, all of a sudden the display on the screen has turned yellowish, i have tried the adaptive display option and changed the RGB to max and low and the settings for edge colour but the display is still yellowish.
Also noticed another thing: If the brightness is <50% the yellowtinge with black lines come up but if >50% then the display is fine.
I tried to click photos/ take screen shots but the yellowish is not visible on photo, but the dark horizontal lines on whitebackground are clearly visible. have not dropped the phone but this has begun suddenly.
when the phone is under bright light the automatic brightness increases the brightness of screen and the display is clear, when the phone is moved into low brightness the mentioned issue comes up
Any suggestions on how can i resolve this?
Any help is appreciated, phone is out of warranty. Is there any any replacement circular for galaxy s devices, like FOC?
