Note 8 Screen suddendly turn full flicker green !

[LuxyFlex]

Hello Guys !

I have a big massive Problem with my Note 8 SM-N950F.

I was watching Youtube and my Phone has worked fine no Problem no Green Screen till suddendly my Screen went full Green Flickering mode and I dont know what the Reason is. I restarted the Phone and it worked again no problem for 30min then it went back to Green flickering screen.

I have try : Restore the Phone as New completly Wipe out / Result = Negative
Installed a Custom Rom / Result = Negative

I did not dropped the Phone nor does it has a Water Damage.

The Green Flickering screen only comes when Im in the System but while I am on TWRP it never shows up so I think it has something to do with the system and not Hardware.

A full wipe and flashing the latest official firmware usually solves non-hardware issues. If you tried that and the issue is still there, then it sounds like a hardware issue that would need repair (hopefully within warranty).

But how can it be a Hardware problem, i didnt drop nor does it have any Damage and if im on TMRW or Download mode i dont see the green flickering only after I boot

Motherboards can be faulty, etc. It doesn't have to be caused by the user. If you flash stock with full wipe and the issue persists then the only remaining variable is hardware. Either that or maybe you didn't do the full wipe when flashing latest firmware. Not sure what else to suggest beyond those two possibilities. Hope you get it working.

I had this also on my N950F. It happened very suddenly while I was using it:-

* Greenish tint
* Reduced brightness capability
* Flickering
* ~half-inch border of more intense tinting on all four sides

Cut a long story short - couldn't fix it with a complete factory reset.

Today, the problem has suddenly disappeared and the screen is perfect after four days with this issue. Just out of the blue - screen back to normal.

I'm guessing it was either a dodgy board connection which righted itself, or a temporary light sensor issue.

it is a hardware fault relating to the lcd. this is usually seen when the phone has been dropped. and is a broken lcd. i know its stated it wasnt dropped but that is the issue

Utter nonsense. It hasn't been dropped and it doesn't have an LCD screen. Know-it-alls spoil it for others by making unfounded comments.

Yes, that's it, if not droped, then a faulty screen, just like that, many people wish that all problems can be fixed by some trick, clever app or hidden setting, but, in true, a very little number of troubles are fixed this way, so my advice would be to take the device to an authorized samsung service center

Be nice to people trying to help you.

There is two causes to this. Software or hardware. Next time it happens try screen capture. If appears on screen shot it's software buggy. Although highly unlikely but if it does usually a reboot or factory reset solves it.

Other more likely scenario is hardware. If you used a crt tv you'll know as its the same symtom of failing picture tube.

And it's definitely not connector issue.
