Major screen issues after Jan 26 update

[akadis1]

I was reading an article about how to fix dead pixels on any type of screen, and I downloaded and tried one of the recommended apps:

Dead Pixels Test and Fix​

To my surprise, I think it worked! I am now reading more about this and it looks like I had stuck pixels and "phantoms".

Have you ever heard of this type of apps? Everything is back to normal... I almost don't believe it. I hope this is a permanent fix!

I don't see how it could work but if it does, a cure is a cure. Test with ScreenTest to see what you now got.
LEDs respond proportionally to current; more current more light output.
LCDs are different as they regulate the constant light output with liquid crystals which can become polarized causing them to "stick".

Unfortunately you were right... screen issues are starting again... although way less than before. My phone is under warranty... it's just that as i mentioned before I am abroad and won't be back in the US till the end of May. I will look for a local Samsung tech expert shop.

Again, thanks so much!

UPDATE: I ran the apps Dead pixel fix, LCD Dead Pixel Test and Fix, and Ghost Screen Fix. The last one seems to have fixed the phone at 100%. I have been using the phone for the last 2 weeks without any issues.
