S8 Display turning Yellowish and dark lines with <50% brightness - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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?

[Q] Light spot on the screen

I have this light spot on my screen. It is visible at very low / low screen brightness levels. It is clearly visible when I use screen filter to reduce brightness at night. When I use higher brightness levels then I cannot see the light spot anymore.
I took photo of the screen and marked the light spot. Photo is grainy and pinkish, but thats from the camera, not in the phone's screen.
Do anyone else have this kind of screen problem?

I took the phone to the warranty service and they replaced the whole screen So no problems anymore!

Does your Screen turn pink-ish at lowest brightness (adaptive screen ON/OFF)

So mine turns pink/reddish when setting the lowest brightness setting (ambient display on) - you have to be in a pitch black or very dark room.
When its off, it still does it but its not that bad.
EDIT: If yours does turn pink, will you RMA?
Mine does this as well. I rarely ever see the brightness go that low so it doesn't bother me that much. However what does bother me, is at 50% brightness unless i am looking at the screen dead center the screen has a redish, bluish, or greenish hue on it. Was very yellow the first day I had it, but the yellowish hue is gone.
I have adaptive on. Last night I set my brightness all of the way down. For the first time I saw a slight pink hue. Increasing the brightness fixed this. I am not sure if turning off ambient would have fixed it. If I see it again I'll try turning it off.
I thought was a known feature of amoled. I'm guessing they will all do it at low brightness.
Mine actually got worse. When I first noticed it, it was acceptable. Now its almost reddish already. Some people say its actually a feature of AMOLED. However, when I tried it on a different AMOLED Screen, Note 3 and 4 - i didnt see it.
No, I tried with adaptive brightness on and off and can find no color changes except maybe a slight blue hue when tilting the device and then almost rainbow effect at close to 180 degrees. Guess I got a good screen.

Display Problem after dropping phone

Hi all,
I dropped my phone (a very short distance about 1ft) but the phone was working ok.
Suddenly after 1 week, the phone display has Lines and out of colors display.
There are no cracks on the screen of any sorts.
But, if I use the lowest brightness, the display gets OK or the highest brightness the display looks OK.
Lines on screen and out of colors (distorted) comes in mid brightness and auto brightness.
any idea?

s7 edge screen flickering

i recently bought a used s7 edge. the cellphone's display is damaged buf overall it works fine. except for a few issues mainly related to light sensor according to my understanding.
1: the display flickers when auto brightness turned off or when brightness is set to anything less than maximum
workaround: i installed screen filter app to control the brightness
2: the screen goes to green screen of death when device is put to sleep
workaround : turn AOD to always on and never Turn it off
3: the display goes to green death screen during call and wont get normal unless call is ended and screen is locked and turned on..
4 : at AOD ,the screen flickers at night time or in a dark place but gets back normal in bright light..
info i need : i thought what if it was possible to change the android framework values for the light sensor so that no matter whatever the light of the surrounding may be.. the device will always think it's in bright light.
for example if the settings for current values are
high 5000 medium 2000 low 600
then i change it to
high 1000 medium 500 low 25
so that the device will always think its in full bright area..
can anyone help me in achieving this goal? thanks

This is silly-S10+ screen dimmer/colours in lower brightness (read my post)

Hello there everyone,
My S10+ Exynos variant suddenly started showing wierd colour bad contrast in lower britgthness. When dimming the phone below 40% , the picture/video quality gets so dimm, pale, also i notest at work, my other two coworkers have same phone, with notisably darker picture, pictures and videos are darker , contrast is wasy better between dark and bright parts of the picture. And i know about all settings, vivid, advanced, visibility enhancments, Themes. Tried em all. I know android very well in stock settings.
Also i have tried factory reset, wipe chache, i even F...uking updates the phone to the very last firmware, and each update even after factory reset didnt change anything. Its still the same. At lower brigthness the screen gets so grenish dimmed and pale, colours lack contrast.
And also another wierd thing... in both of my coworkers s10+,s dark mode (night mode from pie) is amoled dark, pixels turned of, on my phone its not, they are turned on, dark grey colour. Funny thing is, if i take screenshots, they are not, screenshot shows amoled dark. While in phone, pixels are turned on, like its backlight lcd panel and not amoled. Screen failure or something else i can do?
Any tweak app or something to play with contrast ratio in Samsung Galaxy s10+?
