Note 20 ultra black screen of death

[Raid3n__pt]

Samsung doesnt cares as this is a cbinese phone in europe and their warranty isnt international.

In europe warranty is 2 years
But i rushed in the hype and bougth from wondamobile, wich has a huge mistakrle, as this phone with 512 gb and snapdragon in my country was 1500 to 1700 euros in last october and i pay 1300.

Just a crazy move but well tougth samsung was above apple due to inovations like the dex unfortunately its filled with problems plaguing the samsung top of the like phones.

I just didnt searchrd about it.

Guys, if this is a software problem, the OP should try to revert back to an earlier firmware via ODIN.
You'll need to check to see if the bootloader is the same or you can brick it. Just be sure to use Home_CSC or you will factory reset your phone.

Problem is now i restarted the phone again, and well dex cant conect, only screen mirroring .

As the phone is locked with number password, the screen is black so i cant input the password and via usb it only conects to certain programs if the phone is unlocked.

If odin requires conection via the phone its impossible, also cant know the firmare as i cant acess the phones data now.

I think its the software due to the one ui error that appeared when the screen worked again and blacked out after 10 minutes.

But cant be sure as the screen is now not working for 3 days.

And its off warranty, as wondamobile only offers 1 year.

Never buying again on websites even if its more expensive in the country you live its better due to warranty.
Even expensive phones nowadays are crap

But you already said you dropped the phone and the screen is damaged so even if it came with an EU warranty it would be void as Samsung will not accept phoes with physical damage for repair. You are contradicting yourself here.

The phone fell once men, its got a minor scratch and a very small ball shaped damage but its not enough to destroy a screen!

As this happened like 3 weeks ago.

I know Samsung is picky nowadays with everything, thats why im never buying it again.

As this is a very common thing on note 20 ultra, note 10, s20 and s21, but as i bougth it when the phone was launched in the market i didnt knew this.

Of course i know i will have to pay for its repairs men.

this is what scares me. I have a note 20 ultra I have blocked the updates I have android 11 and the warranty expires in December 2022 (the old owners at Apile 2021 made it change but not why) I have read many posts it seems to know a camera software problem (what firmware did you have?) For this reason alone I don't know whether to change cell phone and take 512 gb s22 ;(

If it's running well just leave it be. Upgrades break things... especially Android 12. Security isn't an issue if you don't do anything stupid.
The S22 isn't proven, and what you're holding in your hand is likely a better phone overall.

The N20U display issues are likely confined to certain production runs or even just one batch*. In other words your unit may be absolutely A-OK... just as it appears to be.


*Samsung will substitute smaller chipsets and components if needed due unavailability during a production run. If it's a chipset, the new update firmware's instruction set might may not be compatible with the substituted part. If it's a componet it may be out of tolerance for the issued update.

Samsung first has to physically examine the effected phones then correct the firmware update to include the correct instructions for those chipsets or components. That takes time.
If you don't update you won't potentially go for that ride... by either sending it in or waiting for the revised update
