Hello, last year my phone suffered a drop and the screen cracked with minor affections to the LCD, mainly the glass was cracked. Today however, out of nowhere, my phone's display started flickering. About 75% of my screen has this green flickering issue. I've read online that this could be a hardware issue or software issue and this issue is prevelant in Samsung's AMOLED phones.
I've tried wiping the cache, disabling hw overlay but that did not work. The only temporary fix that works for me is by setting the brightness all the way up and using a blue light block app to dim the display there. However, this eats up the battery quite a bit.
I am wondering whether replacing the LCD will fix this problem or not. Have any of you suffer this issue? What do you guys think?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi
Thank you for reading this. I appreciate every suggestion you give.
I know there was a post discussing the exact same problem, but I'm discussing a possible repair/replacement on my own.
----Here is the issue-------
To put it simple, the screen tone flicks between slight pink and slight green.
I think what happened is, the screen generally stays in a normal tone which is slightly pink tinted(which is very fine and comfortable), then at some point, the brightness of red pixels have a sudden drop so the screen turns to a greenish hue. The green hue would not stay for long, for 5 second to a minute it would change back to the normal tone.
It's very slight, and sometimes it's hard to notice especially when the brightness is high. But at night this could be really an issue. It is really distracting at night!
There is no way to reproduce the problem, it just happens randomly, and could be as frequently as every other 6 seconds.

------Question-------
Now, my note does not have a warranty, and the problem comes out of the box. I heard Samsung charges about US$270 here for replacement. Well, a new note just cost about $450. Now I'm a high school student without lots of money so I want to fix it myself.
Possibilities I found:
1. Super AMOLED issue, which can be fixed by a screen replacement
2. a poor contact between screen and the board
3. The wacom layer interferes with the screen, which need to replace the whole screen assembly
4. A bad motherboard
Any idea about how to fix it? Thanks!

I have the same problem and I don't find any solution.
A third of my bottom half of the screen is flickering on low brighness. I tried everything I could find, no luck fixing it.
I know this may not be much help, but this is actually a pretty common issue sadly. The cause is most likey the AMOLED screen which could have a tiny scratch or a wire not connecting properly (pretty much a vast array of issues that it could be).
Pretty sure it is a AMOLED problem... maybe a tiny crack from normal everyday abuse the phone goes through.
The phone is approaching its 4th Birthday so no surprises there.
i have broken my screen (touch amoled, all the screen) and i bought another one from ebay
looks original and arrived in a samsung service pack box
this new display have something strange in colors when the backlight is low, looks like...don't know how to explain but the colors are not perfect as they were with the factory screen...somehow a little bit green (always when light is low)
anyway sometimes now, like one time every week, after i while i'm using it, the screen go crazy and when i touch it, i see (developer, show touch dots) random touch around my fingers
some days ago this problem happened when i was in a call, me and my interlocutor, we heard a strange noise like bzzzzzrbrbzbrbrbzzzz when i was touching the screen, so there was the touch crazy problem and some strange noise when i was touching the screen
a reboot and everything is ok for some day....
i hope you had understood my poor english
opinions? what can i do? :crying:
ps. i have a 9506
It's probably a fake screen. That would explain your color problem and touch problem.

the screen resolution is correct and with high backlight the colors are perfect, looks like original on the front and on the back
how to check if it's fake?
I've had this G4 for a little while now. I bought it off Amazon. I paid a little more for the ad-free version. I'TS running Android 7.0 which came from OTA update from my Verizon cell phone provider but I don't think any of this pertains to my problem which is that if I'm in a room with moderately bright lights or outside in sunlight the screen will do rapid Phantom presses continually which only alleviate after I get out of the light turn the display off and then back on again. I don't know the science behind this problem but does anyone think if I bought and put a screen protector on this phone with that have a chance of letting me use this phone in the sunlight? If so can anyone recommend a particular model or type of screen protector? There appears to be a small crack on the phone in between the light sensor and the camera that goes down just barely into the visual screen from the bezel. It seems possible this crack is what's caused this light sensitivity issues since I only notice the crack after the touch screen problems.
Hi, everyone. I'm new on XDA. I need some help to fix issues on my phone. So long story short, I dropped my 9T and had the the screen replaced. However, the replacement screen has a very weird green tint on most brightness level, which from what I have researched, only appears on 9T with overclocked screen. Mine is not overclocked. The green tint only disappear at either under 10% brightness level or above 80%. However, I am very sure this is software problem because (1) the green tint disappear when the fingerprint sensor is touched (when it lights up) on the lockscreen, and if I release the fingerprint, before it unlocks, the tint disappear. It become normal. This in on MIUI
(2) on AOSP (I have unlocked the bootloader and tried different custom roms but yield no result) the same behaviour occured. When fingerpirnt is touched on low brightness, tint disappear.
Then I also have this touch problem where practically, if I touch 2 points on the screen which is close, the screen will register my touch as a small swipe. This is really annoying when typing, and I cannot play some rhytm games too because of this. Again, I am quite confident that this is software problem.
Similar problem happened years ago on a OnePlus One phone. Some said it was resolved after an update. Some said OnePlus has fixed it. Others doesn't experience it at all : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/faulty-touch-screen-typing-fast-t2829175
Maybe the default driver from XIaomi isn't compatible with my replacement screen? Or other problems?
I have actually claimed the repair warranty once, because the previous screen also had this problem, plus a blue colour on the side. But the same thing happened here (the green tint and touch problem)
Ps : I am confident the AMOLED panel of the replacement screen is original or at least of the same quality as the original beacuse the colour is very vibrant just like the original one.
Can someone help me with this issue? I am willing to provide any logs or system info or anything.
Thank you! Any help or response is appreciated!!

Please go to the place who replaced the device and ask them to check the screen in another device or ask them to clean the contacts with 99% isopropanol and re attach it.
Hello! I'm having the exact same problem on my Mi A3 - green tinted screen + faulty touchscreen after replacing it, all in the same conditions as yours. What did you do? Did you manage to fix your screen? I'm guessing your solution is probably adequate for me too!
If anyone could help me out with this issue, it'd be really nice! In the store, they replaced my screen 3 times already (the last time, it was supposedly an "original screen", more expensive and harder to get) and the problem still remains... I'm getting desperate over this!
