This screen problem is just sad. I purchased a pricey android phone hoping I would have it in the long run but then this occurred. Thanks a lot for the help! People didn't need to dislike this video at all!
Yeah I too bought this phone for the long haul and turns out that my old phone that I had bought for 50 bucks lasted longer and with less problems than this fucking phone.
THIS WORKS!!!!! As long as you have your clock set to "Show Always". Go to Setting, then select "Lock Screen", proceed to "Always On Display", then select "Clock", and "Show Always". BAM!!! As long as your clock is always displaying (even when screen is locked), your screen should no longer go gray.
Thank you so much :) this worked for me been having problems like for a couple weeks. First it was once a while but since 3 days havnt had a good screen even restart or shut down didnt work.
It is 5 April 2024. This started happening to my note 9 after I dropped it last week. It happens when it is warm after watching a lot of RUclips videos or playing games. If I let it cool down, it works fine. I learned that if you turn on "always on display", the dim numbers on the display keep the screen working perfectly fine every time you unlock your phone. I suspect it is a connector from the screen to the motherboard that must've gotten loose and is causing this. I will take apart my phone since the rear glass is cracked and disconnect/ connect all the screen ribbon cables to see if it fixes the issue.
It is now 8 June 2024. The issue has gotten progressively worse. I replaced the back glass and disconnected all the screen connectors and reconnected them to no avail. The only way I can see the screen is by manually setting the brightness to the maximum and disabling adaptive brightness. I ordered a generic Note 9 OLED screen on ebay and will replace it withing the next few days. I'll report back once I replace the screen with results.
So I replaced the screen and it works great now. It is a generic screen from Amazon with the metal frame for $140 or so. Two things I've noticed... the Hard Press Home button feature doesn't work anymore and the S-pen doesn't charge anymore. The S-pen works as a stylus but no longer has Bluetooth functionality. Also, this screen is a bit smaller then the original. The built in bezels are thicker than the original screen.
if you can manage to navigate the phone, go to settings and change the following: 1. immediately turn up the brightness, this will allow you to see onscreen even if the phone display goes green. 2. Turn of the adaptive display to ensure the phone does not set the brightness automatically. 3. turn on the "always display option" to always display info on your locked screen. Now when your screen is locked, tap the screen first and then proceed to unlock the phone This seems to sort out the colour problem everytime, just a nuisance to have to tap the screen before every unlock... this, however, makes the phone usable again and proves it is a software issue and not hardware.
New Update August 3, 2020 phone is still working well, I even updated to One UI 2.1. Also, for those using Oled Screen saver, becareful as it can damage your screen in the long run. Quick update.... Out of nowhere my phone started working normally today. However, when I open the camera app... it goes back to the yellow screen with horizontal lines. Once I close the camera app, it goes back to normal. So, this is definately a software problem and not a hardware problem. Day 2, July 15, 2020. Phone is working perfectly. Opening the camera app no longer discolers the screen. Go figure
After having the phone for almost 5 years ( this year is the 5th) i started having this issue since last week, its not the update. Last update was in 2022. Its something to do with the sensors but like most people, my only solution was to close the screen and tap to wake screen up and then unlock the phone. Colors will be normal that way. If i do find any solution or fix, i will post under my comment. To me this phone gave me no issues for a long time, quite happy actually
thank you so much for this. I was getting annoyed as hell. It is getting worse and worse. I don't care about slightly darker screen as long as it doesn't look like I'm in the matrix. You my friend are the champion of the people.
Guys, from reading the comments I've concluded this is a software update issue, not hardware. I have as S9+ its been nearly three years now, everything has been absolutely flawless until now. Today i was at work and started browsing and i noticed it was getting hotter than usual, it never gets hot like this, even after extended use or charging (i dont even use any fadt charge, i totally baby it) I got worried and noticed that after disabling and enabling blue light filter back, the colors got weird. Blue ligjt filter always had this nice, kind of crepuscular orangeish tone to it and the screen has always been very sharp, but after turning it on again it became some sort of a light greenish light, looks weird as hell now, with or without the filter. Mind it that this phone handles even gps use on Waze or Google Maps like a champ, it doesn't get too hot... But now just to type this comment here it seems that it is stressing the hell out of the battery and it already lost like 5% of it just to type. It happened after a couple days after the last update. Its not just your brand news phones guys, my S9+ is also going hot and greenish/greyish... What the fuck Samsung!? Fix this or I'll go something else next! Its been flawless all this time! Now everybody's phones goes crap like that?
What makes me specially disappointed with this is not the phone itself, is the fact that i really took good care of it all this time, only charged it between 30% to 85% of the battery to maximize its life, whore good protective screens and cases... and the phone responded to it all, it wasn't the phone or me, it was a Samsung's fucked up update that screwed it up. If i only knew before they would upload a "virus" to ruin my phone i wouldn't have minded taking care of it at all, in fact i would have picked another brand. And i thought only Apple where assholes to fuck people's phones deliberately, but Samsung too? Im so disappointed right now...
@@alanramone4263 Not in this way man, this was not an Oled burn issue or overtime problem. When an Oled or Amoled screen burns out, it doesn't happen evenly, you can detect more or less affected spots on it, like burning in the screen small circles where your apps normally sit on the screen. In this case, its an entire color shift in the entire screen after a "security update" took place, not to mention that 3 year old Note 8's and 9's around the world alongside with many brand new S10's, S20's and even the S20 Ultra displayed the same issue after the patch update took place however since these new phones are still under store warranty they rushed to release a fix patch for the current flagship models out there to avoid returning items, the same cannot be told about models out of warranty. Fun fact: samsung supplies high end screens for other phone brands. Doing a quick search i found that many other phone brand users whose phones have high end oled displays had the same issues immediately after recent updates. This happened in late 2018 and now twice in 2020; march, right after the S20 lineup releae and June. In my country this new patch only came late November. It's not the hardware failling but the recent android updates are interfering with their functions. Whether or not it is intentional we won't be able to tell. My S9+ has been nothing but wonders for almost three years but immediately after a software update 26/Nov it went bad. And im not the only one. And... they also released patch fixes for the S20 ultra and Note 20 ultras immediately, S10's too right after... if it was a hardware going bad a patch wouldn't be able to fix it.
I don't know for sure, but I'm afraid this is a hardware problem. Something's wrong with how the display is starting up, not the panel itself. If you power the display off and on too quickly it triggers the green screen. Fixes like using always-on display only temporarily reduce the issue by adding a gap when the screen is off. If you're in a call and using the proximity sensor it easily triggers it if you move your head around.
Lots of comments are recently, it shows that this problem happened to us at same time. It couldnt be hardware problem. Yet, Samsung not even bother addressing this issue, same issue happened to S20 but they re so quick to release a patch. Note 9 just two years old, and they dont even bother to support it anymore. #FuckSamsung Also please tell your experience with this issue at this Twitter post to help more people noticing this issue. twitter.com/VANtiladorrr/status/1265250252761624576?s=19
Here in after I definitely encourage everyone that I know not buying Samsung , I've had so far three sad similar experience with Note4, Note5 and now Note9, this brand sucks!
Any news on software update? This problem just happened to me 2 days ago. I install Oled Saver, but the screen looks like shit. Not even comparable to the original screen. When you take screenshots, they look like crap. Any new news? I have searched Samsumg pages and twitter and I don't see any news on this problem.
@@stevenwelcome8238 i have the same issue..just 1 month after my warranty end i got this issue 1week ago..today i got a new update..seem like its not about the update..the hardware itself got problem..so sad this good phone have this kind of problem..
Had the same issue with my note9, it's a bug on phone's sensor, nothing to do with the hardware. How to fix: - Turn OFF the adaptive brightness - Turn ON Always On Display, set it to Show Always - Lock your phone - Wait till AOD clock appears - Cover phone's sensor, just like the man did in this video - Unlock the phone using your fingerprint - Everything back to normal Good luck In my country prior March 15th, for this type of problem customers can get free display replacement if they bring their device to Samsung service center, even though the warranty has expired (thumbs up for Samsung). However from now on, they plan to charge customers 50% of total cost for display replacement (thumbs down for Shitsung).
Note 9 here with the same issue. I switched to Samsung after the Apple i-phone software update throttling scandal, now i feel cheated by Samsung too. This issue should be raised to Samsung for resolution via a social media campaign
This just started happening to my S9. Ive had it since S9 first released. Restarting the phone fixes it temporarily. when locking and unlocking the issue is back.
I would probably end up going back to iPhone instead of fooling around with junk or try to find me a Galaxy S5 from on line. I am not an iPhone fan, but I need a phone that's going to last especially since I got rid of my landline. These cellphones are too expensive to be nothing but junk! They need to be more dependable.
The ones comenting below to use Oled saver STOP! Oled saver is shit... screen looks cheap and screenshots look like shit. Just stop recommending it. Contact Samsung so they can see that a lot of people are facing this problem after their shitty update.
No need to turn your always on display on. I just send a text message to myself then quickly turn off the screen an when I receive the message I unlock the screen. So far the quick fix has worked a 100% of the time. Pass the message along until the issue is fixed.
My phone had this discoloration issue intermittently but now it's permanent and it's out of warranty :( I doubt Samsung will do anything about it as they want you to go and buy their newer device...marketing shit
Just look at the number of people who viewed this video .Every samsung flagship has this problem with a software update at the end of warrenty period. Experienced Long term samsung user.
I have this issue recently all of a sudden even though I didn't update the software. Just power off the phone and power it on again. It doesn't work if you do a restart, have to switch it off.
Activate "Always on Display" feature. Unlock the screen only after "Always on Display" is on the lock screen. You will see the familiar vibrant colorful Samsung Galaxy Note 9 display after this fix. 🙏
No - Since Factory Reset will not help where the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 March Android update itself has the bug. Factory Reset will work only if you have got some corrupted setting on top of the update.
THANK YOU ! I have the same issue in May 2020, after the March and May patches - its frustrating - Its only 11 months old - and when I went to the Samsung shop , they service guy told me it was a screen damage (SGD 315 repair) and denied a software issue even though I explained to him there are similar cases online. What a clueless #@$%. Thats the problem with Samsung - always slow to act and always in denial and cover ups Another friend had similar issue - and screen went black after 24 hours) The latest software patch also destroyed the menus for the edge menu - brilliant high IQ patch
I have exact same problem on my Note 8. This thing turns on when the screen gets heat up. As long as the screen is cool it runs perfectly fine even for weeks. But only if it gets heat, it turn on immediately.
Thanks for sharing. It actually works on my note 9. I haven’t been able to use it for a long time because of the same issue and i just tried searching for a solution right now and it led me here. Very helpful.
My s10 plus also become like this today..exactly 1 month out of warranty..previously same happen with my note 8..i think its the oled screen issue..even with careful usage (brightness below 50%), even with reset,hard reset its not fix..ask the samsung members, they advised to replace the screen..never buy phone with oled screen again..
Mine fixed on it's own. I left it on AOD (always on display) for a whole day and it was corrected. Yours may take more than a day to fix but it worked for me Hope this helps❤
I am doing so much of research and analysis on the screen, color and reboot loop problem of my Samsung Phone, I fear !!! soon I will become a scientist, and many countries will hunt me to give their prestigious awards.!!!!!
Yes. This is the only one which works and works better than any other solution given here for me at least. But service centre visit looks to be on cards for a permanent fix
God damn it Samsung. Issue is so widespread. My Galaxy A30s also starting to show gray out screen. Sometimes there's a jolt at top left of the screen when turn on and off the screen. This all happened after applying the January 2022 update I believed.
It actually the sensors if you turn off adaptive brightness and turn up the brightness it works.. if you turn on adaptive brightness and cover sensors it work it may be the cache ...try clearing it
You are a lifesaver! Thanks to this trick I was able to get access long enough to back up all my data and photos. Strangely enough my pc would not recognize the usb connection to the phone since this problem started. I had to use the AirMore app to be able to export my stuff over Wifi
It is only the exynos processor, not snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, you all were cheated by buying Note 9 with exynos processor! Snapdragon processor doesn't have that problem!
This my third strike with a Samsung phone. I have this S9 which I bought from a trustworthy friend and it worked incredibly well for a week. It was my alternative to replacing my iPhone SE with the new iPhone SE 2020 model. The S9 was a cheaper and what appeared to be a better choice as opposed to shelling out the money for a new iPhone SE. I was impressed by the S9 but then disappointed when the incredibly crisp and bright display went green and grainy and dim shortly after updating to the latest software. I am not an Apple fan but experience tells me that they are the better or at least most reliable of two evils. I tried to roll back the update following a youtube video but it always fails. Finding out the S9 isn't compatible with the DJI Drone software I use is another major disappointment. Enough time wasted on this.
you saved my life sir... on this lockdown, my phone is the only way I can order my food. Really samsung??? really??? Edit: on the other note, how to turn off the adaptive display can be done using double click power button camera feature (camera still accessible) and swipe the menu down from camera app. No need to cover the adaptive sensor whatsoever
Guys tell me if u have this: My phone 3-4 days ago got this problem with green thing, When I locked and unlocked quickly my screen had this issue, but after some restarts it just dissapeared but now if I lock it and unlock it right after my phone flashes/flickers the background and then turns black and remains until I let the phone at least 5 seconds and then open it again... $%!$%!#!^ SAMSUNG LASTEST UPDATE MAY
@@firebolt2310 yes, it s from android, (99% chances) because I updated to Android May update on June(first week) and suddenly that green thing appeared
@@OviMG All I know that my screen amoled digitizer is not damage, the problem occurred right after the February software update and my screen turn to yellowish tint after rebooted on Android 10 and on that my phone is still brand new
My S8 did same and I tried all the tricks but nothing worked, finally today bought new cell and when Factory Reset again it start working , Maybe this time I reset without Sim cards or It saw a new Cell
Whenever your screen get green, lock your phone while Turning on always on display.. then unlock your phone with finger sensor or tapping the screen (depend on setting)
I have found a workaround that works for me: Well, I got myself a S9+ with a more severe variant of this same problem.. After changing OS to LineageOS (gave it a try, to check it if was any samsung update that broke the display) I ended up checking that it was a indeed a display fault (the update broke the screen? don't really know). Since I don't really want to be turning things on and off everything I use the damn phone, just so I can get the screen alright, I got myself a software workaround that may be helpful to some people facing the same problem as me and don't have warranty to get it fixed by Samsung, so here it goes: I noticed that, when I unlock the phone, the display itself works alright but with "greenish" colors and sometimes artifacts and found out that, If I set my screen to 100%, after 1 second, the screen fixes itself and goes to normal, and after that I can set the screen brightness to whatever percentage I want, that the display will work 100% until I lock and unlock it again. What I did after this discovery? Downloaded Macrodroid from Playstore, a free macro app, and just programmed the phone to this procedure automatically every time I unlocked the phone. The macro should contain the following actions: Trigger - Screen Unlock Actions - 1: Wait 1 second 2: Set Brightness to 100% (Set "slider value" to 100% and don't mark the other two options that will show up neither the auto brightness, just change the slider value.) 3: Wait 2 second (This timer is required because if you try to set the value right after changing the display to 100% brightness, the screen will still show up the greenish overlay). 4: Set Brightness to XX% (Same rules as action 2, but this time you can set the slider value to any value that you want, I set mine to 20% since it's the brightness that I like to use daily, but you can change to whatever you like). No constraints needed. Save the macro and turn it on. Now, you will notice that after the unlock, without you touching anything, the screen will automatically go to 100%, the display will go back to normal colors and functioning, and then it will go again automatically to the brightness you want to use. I hope I was clear enough and that this helps anyone that may be facing the same issue. (Sorry if some sentences don't sound right, English it's not my main language)
Hey snow I'm having green tint since a week and later I found that changing brightness to full will fix /playing yt hdr will fix the issue too ,even the aod While max brightness use to fix the green tint, for some reason my blue fliter and display modes were not functioning at all.... But I restarted my phone yesterday and putting brightness to max won't fix green tint and blue light filters and screen modes are functioning again,do you know anyway to get my screen mode and blue light filter not to function again? So max brightness will able to fix green tint again..thanks
Try to use in sunlight and turn up brightness meter to full And then manually change brightness slider from 100 to 10 And keep repeating It worked for me ;) Worth a try
Set your brighness to lowest or maximum, it will solve the problem as i just notice after i buy new handphone and try to sync the data from note 9 . For me, i will ban samsung forever even though the cost of replacement screen is cheaper then buy a new device. All this happend after march patch update. It samsung fault and yet they still denie on it and still charge for screen replacement.
Samsung service centres are fixing the displays of note9 having yellow discolouration display issue because of March update FREE OF COST. All service centres are communicated about this starting from July1st. I got my display fixed this week in India. Hope this helps. Thank me later:)
@Abhishek Chaubey I got it serviced from Bangalore. You can contact Samsung helpline explain the issue. They will direct you to service centre in your area
I m also facing the same problem....I have Note 9.... Factory reset se bhi koi faayda nahi hua....Samsung Members app pe ja kar complain karo.....Taaki wo software update se fix kare ye problem....
@@sudanile1 yes, I updated my note 9 last aprill 22 then it started to have issues already after the update until I can't use it anymore because it is turning yellowish. I try the solution provided in this video and now I can use it but it is hard to use in direct sunlight.
So I took all the fixes and tried them.. its 100% a heat issue but I think samsung pushed it into our phones.. the OLED saver helps.. turning off adaptive display helps putting your phone on the lowest resolution helps. Keeping the brightness down low helps.. and make sure its not on performance mode. when it does happen I can put it in front of my window AC unit and cool it off and it will correct. Now I have been on Oreo since the phone has been released and use package disabler pro and froze 119 apps everything that would not break the phone.. even Bixby is frozen and will not pop up .. so my battery is incredibly good and my phone would never heat up until recently about a month and half ago I transferred all my videos from my phone to my computer and it started after that.. so some app from the play store that was updated made this issue or this was written in the original code to mess our phones up.. can't happen to everyone
You sexy-voiced legend! Thanks so much for this tip. I can't afford to replace it right now and your solution is working a treat. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My note 9 started with unresponsive screen and only worked with its pen. The next day it stared flickering and turned green. Finally it was completely black! The screen comes back to normal and then green then blackout.. definitely a bug?
me too now blackout and go ssc they say change lcd, im not willing repair it with costly and just have 3month warranty, when broken again 6 month better buy new 1 dammit never buy samsung anymore zzz
Turn off aways on display and then turn off your display After that, with the display off you need to use a wrong finger on the fingerprint scanner 5 times until it automatically turns on the display and shows a pop-up message saying that you've tried to unlock it 5 times without success. Then turn on the screen immediately and this should "fix" the problem
@@AnguiXDd uninstalled oled saver and tried your method. It only works the first time and screen looks normal but thereafter it the same problem. I reinstalled oled saver again
Samsung just ignore this issue and not admitting its software issue. If its hardware issue, how come app like OLED Saver can fix this screen issue. Fucking Samsung
@@jonathanbody3973 Yup they won't admit it.This has happened with so many phones all around the same time.Its the update not the hardware.If this isn't fixed i will be going with apple.the note 9 wasn't a cheap phone when it came out.
Guys my phone become a green screen almost 2 month. Then 1day, i accidendly turning selfie mode camera + flash then my phone turn to normal screen but i need to repeat the same step if i lock my phone.
what I did notice is when it happens I take it out the case turn off the screen and press hard on the back and rub the font on my shirt its def a heat issue.. I have never updates my software I am stilll on oreo 8.1.0
I just enable AOD and set it to touch to show. You just need to touch the screen first before unlocking your device mine uses fingerprint to unlock. Same thing for those who use smart lock, you might need to cover the upper part of your screen where the sensors and cameras are located before tapping the screen and unlocking the phone.
@@reecenaidu6020 well this is just a temporary fix. If your phone is experiencing screen discoloration it's better bring it to the nearest service center to have it fixed for free if your device still have warranty. If not they will charge you $200 for it to be fixed just like mine.
@@reecenaidu6020 It cost me $221 diagnose, parts, labor. They change the entire screen and frame even if the frame is still good. Basically like a new phone swapping all the internals to a new frame.
@@reecenaidu6020 it's better to buy a new one tbh. If your phone starts to flicker your just months away before it go completely black. I suggest disable and never install a new system updates to prevent it for getting worst.
Bro I dropped my s9 and it slid 20 ft on concrete damaged the glass and I thought it was done I also had that green effect I finally got it to show a almost perfect screen I though I fixed it till I could and get new one but it would go back green to the green screen two three times an hour now that I watched your video it makes sense to what was going on thank you and keep up the good videos
It's not their fault it's because of AMOLED screen type it depends on how much you put your brightness level and how long you use your phone with high brightness. iPhones can have similar problem too cause from iPhone X they use AMOLED screen technology as well P.S. this shown in this video is a software problem and Samsung's fault but you said your problem occured one year ago
A #Note 20 ultra, Snapdragon, US version, here... It seems that the #yellow #discoloration is a software issue that #AMOLED display loses the true black color
I was shocked to see my phone discolored with lines and mainly has a green tone. Your hack worked and I didn't need to lower my brightness. I just really had to turn my adaptive brightness off. I hope it doesn't happen again! 🤕
In my case. I turned on Always on Display, so when i tap the screen clock etc shows, then after unlocking, everything works perfect. But in my case phone not alwys unlock with fucked screen. Anyway, this was not cheap phone when I bought it and I expect that everything works perfect for that kind of money...... I have just tested a little bit more and it looks like there is better solution. You can select Always show, show main screen button (sorry for translation) and (I hope) it will never broke again. You have to wait around one second after locking phone for this button to show, before unlocking
Still i don't know i think samsung will soon fix it with a update......now i am using OLED saver app temporarily it automatically adjust the brightness u can try it!
no because I am still on the original software 8.1.0 oreo ... I do notice that it get hotter then it use to... has to be a system app after update... not a software issue
@@productionapostle1298 System app is a software... Also you said it yourself; "has to be a system app *after the update* ". The guy is saying he will get a spare motherboard *without the latest update* so idk why would you make this utterly stupid comment.
@@Narcostic you do realize apps update... the firmware was never updated .. are you joking me.. it's an app software update ... so there is nothing you can do about it.. your chrome or Samsung internet or RUclips apps will update weather or not you update the firmware.. like I said I am on Oreo 8.1.0 never updated the firmware... someone always trolling
I somehow fixed this problem on accident I don't know for sure how to describe it but tap the screen then tap the home button on the bottom twice then ur phone opens up and flick down on top of the screen to pull up the little menu then click the settings button and it will freeze but to unfreeze it flick the menu down again until u get to the brightness slider and turn it all the way up. Thats how I fixed mine
Mine fixed on it's own. I left it on AOD (always on display) for a whole day and it was corrected. Yours may take more than a day to fix but it worked for me Hope this helps❤
no if you turn the always on display on and and cut your screen off and then tap your screen and hit the button at the bottom of the screen your screen will turn on with out being green covering the top of your phone dont do nothing

As long as your clock is always displaying (even when screen is locked), your screen should no longer go gray.

@@shofielddgu2790 your welcome
You are literally a blessing thankyou so much 💞
Never worked with my phone
It didn't work for me. Made my phone always green screen when turned on and I cannot see the numbers to unlock the phone.
It is 5 April 2024. This started happening to my note 9 after I dropped it last week. It happens when it is warm after watching a lot of RUclips videos or playing games. If I let it cool down, it works fine. I learned that if you turn on "always on display", the dim numbers on the display keep the screen working perfectly fine every time you unlock your phone. I suspect it is a connector from the screen to the motherboard that must've gotten loose and is causing this. I will take apart my phone since the rear glass is cracked and disconnect/ connect all the screen ribbon cables to see if it fixes the issue.
same as mine but i cant see anything
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
It is now 8 June 2024. The issue has gotten progressively worse. I replaced the back glass and disconnected all the screen connectors and reconnected them to no avail. The only way I can see the screen is by manually setting the brightness to the maximum and disabling adaptive brightness. I ordered a generic Note 9 OLED screen on ebay and will replace it withing the next few days. I'll report back once I replace the screen with results.
So I replaced the screen and it works great now. It is a generic screen from Amazon with the metal frame for $140 or so. Two things I've noticed... the Hard Press Home button feature doesn't work anymore and the S-pen doesn't charge anymore. The S-pen works as a stylus but no longer has Bluetooth functionality. Also, this screen is a bit smaller then the original. The built in bezels are thicker than the original screen.
Thy deliberately put bugs on their software updates just to make profits on their newer devices
It's shitty components damaged by heat, even the latest units have problems
@@omegavladosovich6757 no they do it intentionally by sending their latest update.
It's not hard ware problem.
Samsung do it oftenly.
@@nischaymiglani2617 even the latest Samsung devices have this issue and especially on Exynos. It's shitty components
Yeah I think so too!
if you can manage to navigate the phone, go to settings and change the following:
1. immediately turn up the brightness, this will allow you to see onscreen even if the phone display goes green.
2. Turn of the adaptive display to ensure the phone does not set the brightness automatically.
3. turn on the "always display option" to always display info on your locked screen.
Now when your screen is locked, tap the screen first and then proceed to unlock the phone
This seems to sort out the colour problem everytime, just a nuisance to have to tap the screen before every unlock... this, however, makes the phone usable again and proves it is a software issue and not hardware.
Thanks! Got my phone sorted!
Is this problem still a little thing?
I planning on buying note 9 with android 10 (1 October 2020 security patch) ??
Should I buy note 9 or S9+???
Thanks. I totally forgot about AOD.
Thank you!! Worked for me. Original video helped me to get into settings, and your hack makes the phone useable again.
Bravo! Someone who knows the stuff.
It is obviously an update issue as it started to happen after latest update.
New Update August 3, 2020
phone is still working well, I even updated to One UI 2.1. Also, for those using Oled Screen saver, becareful as it can damage your screen in the long run.
Quick update.... Out of nowhere my phone started working normally today. However, when I open the camera app... it goes back to the yellow screen with horizontal lines. Once I close the camera app, it goes back to normal. So, this is definately a software problem and not a hardware problem.
Day 2, July 15, 2020. Phone is working perfectly. Opening the camera app no longer discolers the screen. Go figure
After having the phone for almost 5 years ( this year is the 5th) i started having this issue since last week, its not the update. Last update was in 2022. Its something to do with the sensors but like most people, my only solution was to close the screen and tap to wake screen up and then unlock the phone. Colors will be normal that way. If i do find any solution or fix, i will post under my comment. To me this phone gave me no issues for a long time, quite happy actually
With update to Android 11, my Samsung g S10e started to suffer the same problem. I'll never buy Samsung again. What a shame!
agree
hapend to mine right now
@@lorandolah1728 me too:(
@@SilverBirb any luck so far with the phone? i got S10e still in Android 10 OneUI 2.5 and just suddenly got this problem, confusing as hell..
@@kamabokogonpachiro1074 nope its even more broken cant turn it now :(
thank you so much for this. I was getting annoyed as hell. It is getting worse and worse. I don't care about slightly darker screen as long as it doesn't look like I'm in the matrix. You my friend are the champion of the people.
Have it since march update . I think samsungs defective update has permanently broken the phone . Never buying shitsung again.
Guys, from reading the comments I've concluded this is a software update issue, not hardware.
I have as S9+ its been nearly three years now, everything has been absolutely flawless until now.
Today i was at work and started browsing and i noticed it was getting hotter than usual, it never gets hot like this, even after extended use or charging (i dont even use any fadt charge, i totally baby it)
I got worried and noticed that after disabling and enabling blue light filter back, the colors got weird.
Blue ligjt filter always had this nice, kind of crepuscular orangeish tone to it and the screen has always been very sharp, but after turning it on again it became some sort of a light greenish light, looks weird as hell now, with or without the filter. Mind it that this phone handles even gps use on Waze or Google Maps like a champ, it doesn't get too hot...
But now just to type this comment here it seems that it is stressing the hell out of the battery and it already lost like 5% of it just to type.
It happened after a couple days after the last update. Its not just your brand news phones guys, my S9+ is also going hot and greenish/greyish...
What the fuck Samsung!?
Fix this or I'll go something else next!
Its been flawless all this time! Now everybody's phones goes crap like that?
Same here. I have small green ish horizontal lines up and down my screen
What makes me specially disappointed with this is not the phone itself, is the fact that i really took good care of it all this time, only charged it between 30% to 85% of the battery to maximize its life, whore good protective screens and cases... and the phone responded to it all, it wasn't the phone or me, it was a Samsung's fucked up update that screwed it up. If i only knew before they would upload a "virus" to ruin my phone i wouldn't have minded taking care of it at all, in fact i would have picked another brand.
And i thought only Apple where assholes to fuck people's phones deliberately, but Samsung too? Im so disappointed right now...
it's the nature of OLED display, at some point it will fail.
@@alanramone4263 Not in this way man, this was not an Oled burn issue or overtime problem.
When an Oled or Amoled screen burns out, it doesn't happen evenly, you can detect more or less affected spots on it, like burning in the screen small circles where your apps normally sit on the screen.
In this case, its an entire color shift in the entire screen after a "security update" took place, not to mention that 3 year old Note 8's and 9's around the world alongside with many brand new S10's, S20's and even the S20 Ultra displayed the same issue after the patch update took place however since these new phones are still under store warranty they rushed to release a fix patch for the current flagship models out there to avoid returning items, the same cannot be told about models out of warranty.
Fun fact: samsung supplies high end screens for other phone brands.
Doing a quick search i found that many other phone brand users whose phones have high end oled displays had the same issues immediately after recent updates. This happened in late 2018 and now twice in 2020; march, right after the S20 lineup releae and June. In my country this new patch only came late November.
It's not the hardware failling but the recent android updates are interfering with their functions. Whether or not it is intentional we won't be able to tell.
My S9+ has been nothing but wonders for almost three years but immediately after a software update 26/Nov it went bad. And im not the only one.
And... they also released patch fixes for the S20 ultra and Note 20 ultras immediately, S10's too right after... if it was a hardware going bad a patch wouldn't be able to fix it.
I don't know for sure, but I'm afraid this is a hardware problem. Something's wrong with how the display is starting up, not the panel itself. If you power the display off and on too quickly it triggers the green screen. Fixes like using always-on display only temporarily reduce the issue by adding a gap when the screen is off. If you're in a call and using the proximity sensor it easily triggers it if you move your head around.
Lots of comments are recently, it shows that this problem happened to us at same time. It couldnt be hardware problem. Yet, Samsung not even bother addressing this issue, same issue happened to S20 but they re so quick to release a patch. Note 9 just two years old, and they dont even bother to support it anymore. #FuckSamsung
Also please tell your experience with this issue at this Twitter post to help more people noticing this issue.

Here in after I definitely encourage everyone that I know not buying Samsung , I've had so far three sad similar experience with Note4, Note5 and now Note9, this brand sucks!
Any news on software update? This problem just happened to me 2 days ago. I install Oled Saver, but the screen looks like shit. Not even comparable to the original screen. When you take screenshots, they look like crap. Any new news? I have searched Samsumg pages and twitter and I don't see any news on this problem.
Watch video on my channel it will help you do not install any app
@@androidcomputers4359 I already tried your method and it does not work. Besides, I have always had "always on Display" mode on. No method is working.
@@stevenwelcome8238 i have the same issue..just 1 month after my warranty end i got this issue 1week ago..today i got a new update..seem like its not about the update..the hardware itself got problem..so sad this good phone have this kind of problem..
Pls check samsung memebers applicstion or google samsung s9 note display discoloration issue
@@techfreak4008 I did and nothing... only stuff from like 2 years ago
Had the same issue with my note9, it's a bug on phone's sensor, nothing to do with the hardware. How to fix:
- Turn OFF the adaptive brightness
- Turn ON Always On Display, set it to Show Always
- Lock your phone
- Wait till AOD clock appears
- Cover phone's sensor, just like the man did in this video
- Unlock the phone using your fingerprint
- Everything back to normal
Good luck
In my country prior March 15th, for this type of problem customers can get free display replacement if they bring their device to Samsung service center, even though the warranty has expired (thumbs up for Samsung). However from now on, they plan to charge customers 50% of total cost for display replacement (thumbs down for Shitsung).
i do the same bro
Thank you!
Wow. Wtf it worked lol
Thank you so much. That worked!
I have to pay 50% for the screen replacement. Even though my phone has no dents/crack
Yes it works, brightness either lowest or high and its normal, typical brightness it was on most of time - green screen, faded.
Note 9 here with the same issue. I switched to Samsung after the Apple i-phone software update throttling scandal, now i feel cheated by Samsung too. This issue should be raised to Samsung for resolution via a social media campaign
Fuck samsung, im devoted note user. This shit make me piss off.
its been a year and there's no official fix for this either
This just started happening to my S9. Ive had it since S9 first released. Restarting the phone fixes it temporarily. when locking and unlocking the issue is back.
Same hereee. Have you fixed it?
I would probably end up going back to iPhone instead of fooling around with junk or try to find me a Galaxy S5 from on line. I am not an iPhone fan, but I need a phone that's going to last especially since I got rid of my landline. These cellphones are too expensive to be nothing but junk! They need to be more dependable.
I actually am considering the same 😅
just let your brightness to 100% mode.. and off the auto brightness and adaptive brightness off...your welcome. (temporary)
Thanks man it works 👍👍

No it doesn't work for me. Samsung update has permanently damaged the hardware.
@@ashu2502 oh sorry to hear that my note 8 also now became damage on and off screen became green for sometime
Finally after many months, able to switch on the phone.. Thanks!!
The ones comenting below to use Oled saver STOP! Oled saver is shit... screen looks cheap and screenshots look like shit. Just stop recommending it. Contact Samsung so they can see that a lot of people are facing this problem after their shitty update.
No need to turn your always on display on. I just send a text message to myself then quickly turn off the screen an when I receive the message I unlock the screen. So far the quick fix has worked a 100% of the time. Pass the message along until the issue is fixed.
can you explain it more clearer on how to do it?
Send the message brother
My phone had this discoloration issue intermittently but now it's permanent and it's out of warranty :( I doubt Samsung will do anything about it as they want you to go and buy their newer device...marketing shit
Just look at the number of people who viewed this video .Every samsung flagship has this problem with a software update at the end of warrenty period. Experienced Long term samsung user.
You mean samsung practising bad business by damaging their handphone to force their customer to buy again? If true, samsung is owned by a crook.
Agreed man..for me both my note 8 and now my s10 plus..and they said they have greatest screen ever..
it's the nature of OLED display, at some point it will fail.
I have this problem with my Note 8 and blocking the sensors does not help. I think it is because I messed with the opacity of the blue light filter
I have this issue recently all of a sudden even though I didn't update the software. Just power off the phone and power it on again. It doesn't work if you do a restart, have to switch it off.
Man you save my worries ,love you from Nigeria, the sensor works for me
I don't understand what he explain pls explain better to me
Activate "Always on Display" feature. Unlock the screen only after "Always on Display" is on the lock screen. You will see the familiar vibrant colorful Samsung Galaxy Note 9 display after this fix. 🙏
Omg yes this works for me too. I thought there's some hardware issue in my phone. Do you have any idea what's wrong? It's so annoying 😭
I am assuming it is a software bug introduced after the March Security update related to the "Always on Display" feature on Samsung Galaxy phones.
@@asramani Did you try factory reset?
No - Since Factory Reset will not help where the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 March Android update itself has the bug. Factory Reset will work only if you have got some corrupted setting on top of the update.
@@asramani Damn let's hope they come up with a solution :(
THANK YOU ! I have the same issue in May 2020, after the March and May patches - its frustrating - Its only 11 months old - and when I went to the Samsung shop , they service guy told me it was a screen damage (SGD 315 repair) and denied a software issue even though I explained to him there are similar cases online. What a clueless #@$%.
Thats the problem with Samsung - always slow to act and always in denial and cover ups
Another friend had similar issue - and screen went black after 24 hours)
The latest software patch also destroyed the menus for the edge menu - brilliant high IQ patch
its a LCD, HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PROBLEM?
I have exact same problem on my Note 8. This thing turns on when the screen gets heat up. As long as the screen is cool it runs perfectly fine even for weeks. But only if it gets heat, it turn on immediately.
Exactlyyyy
This exact thing happens to me but today i tried and it got hot but even after cooling its not turning on someone help!

Thanks for sharing. It actually works on my note 9. I haven’t been able to use it for a long time because of the same issue and i just tried searching for a solution right now and it led me here. Very helpful.
Is this a temporary solution ???
My s10 plus also become like this today..exactly 1 month out of warranty..previously same happen with my note 8..i think its the oled screen issue..even with careful usage (brightness below 50%), even with reset,hard reset its not fix..ask the samsung members, they advised to replace the screen..never buy phone with oled screen again..
Mine fixed on it's own. I left it on AOD (always on display) for a whole day and it was corrected. Yours may take more than a day to fix but it worked for me
Hope this helps❤
My s10e just did the same. Interesting how this happened after an update and right out of warranty.
I am doing so much of research and analysis on the screen, color and reboot loop problem of my Samsung Phone, I fear !!! soon I will become a scientist, and many countries will hunt me to give their prestigious awards.!!!!!
Other way, kill adaptive mode and turn dark mode then you can make the screen brighter. This is more stable

Yes. This is the only one which works and works better than any other solution given here for me at least. But service centre visit looks to be on cards for a permanent fix
Holy crap. This actually worked ! Thanks Cyril
ur welcomed
@@CyrilDason thanks bro , it works for me too.....but damn , no Samsung for me after this.
God damn it Samsung. Issue is so widespread. My Galaxy A30s also starting to show gray out screen. Sometimes there's a jolt at top left of the screen when turn on and off the screen. This all happened after applying the January 2022 update I believed.
same for me after the same update, more like dliberatly downgrade
Thank you so much. I was going to go buy a new cell phone. Much thanks
Thanks, bloody disgrace. Escaped apple because of this. Never buying Samsung again, not even a TV!
I have oneplus 8 pro same issue. Now it's solved thank you very much.
It actually the sensors if you turn off adaptive brightness and turn up the brightness it works.. if you turn on adaptive brightness and cover sensors it work it may be the cache ...try clearing it
WHAT THE HELL THANK YOU
Watching this video on a discoloured screen right now! Mildly annoyed.
I have the same problem on samsung s9+. I won't buy samsung again
You are a lifesaver! Thanks to this trick I was able to get access long enough to back up all my data and photos. Strangely enough my pc would not recognize the usb connection to the phone since this problem started. I had to use the AirMore app to be able to export my stuff over Wifi
Glad i could help
just turn on "Always on display". Then just double tap to wake up the phone and proceed normally!! Simple!
omg I just realise a lot of people facing the same issue.i using note9.just happened today
Note 8 for me, same issue tho
problem solved bro
It is only the exynos processor, not snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, you all were cheated by buying Note 9 with exynos processor! Snapdragon processor doesn't have that problem!
@@paradiseadams6320 no, Snapdragon has the issue as well, but probably not as prevalent. Exynos has higher power consumption though.
@@omegavladosovich6757 - Those are the Note 9's in Europe and Asia having that problem. It's not happening in USA.
This my third strike with a Samsung phone. I have this S9 which I bought from a trustworthy friend and it worked incredibly well for a week. It was my alternative to replacing my iPhone SE with the new iPhone SE 2020 model. The S9 was a cheaper and what appeared to be a better choice as opposed to shelling out the money for a new iPhone SE. I was impressed by the S9 but then disappointed when the incredibly crisp and bright display went green and grainy and dim shortly after updating to the latest software. I am not an Apple fan but experience tells me that they are the better or at least most reliable of two evils. I tried to roll back the update following a youtube video but it always fails. Finding out the S9 isn't compatible with the DJI Drone software I use is another major disappointment. Enough time wasted on this.
I placed mine under water and now the LCD panel is broken and I need a fix, I heard that using a hairdryer works
man you saved my sweating a*s... i was so mad. thank you so much!
I don't understand what he did there
Hi guys try to install OLED saver, from there you can adjust the light display
I think its working thank you.
you saved my life sir... on this lockdown, my phone is the only way I can order my food. Really samsung??? really???
Edit: on the other note, how to turn off the adaptive display can be done using double click power button camera feature (camera still accessible) and swipe the menu down from camera app. No need to cover the adaptive sensor whatsoever
ITS WORKING ！！！
Wow actually worked. Saved my wifes phone 👍
Guys tell me if u have this:

Whenever your screen get green, lock your phone while Turning on always on display.. then unlock your phone with finger sensor or tapping the screen (depend on setting)
That worked. Thanks!
is it working
That's actually working. Thought I broke my screen some how. They really need to make an update and fix this issue.
I have found a workaround that works for me:
Well, I got myself a S9+ with a more severe variant of this same problem.. After changing OS to LineageOS (gave it a try, to check it if was any samsung update that broke the display) I ended up checking that it was a indeed a display fault (the update broke the screen? don't really know). Since I don't really want to be turning things on and off everything I use the damn phone, just so I can get the screen alright, I got myself a software workaround that may be helpful to some people facing the same problem as me and don't have warranty to get it fixed by Samsung, so here it goes:
I noticed that, when I unlock the phone, the display itself works alright but with "greenish" colors and sometimes artifacts and found out that, If I set my screen to 100%, after 1 second, the screen fixes itself and goes to normal, and after that I can set the screen brightness to whatever percentage I want, that the display will work 100% until I lock and unlock it again.
What I did after this discovery?
Downloaded Macrodroid from Playstore, a free macro app, and just programmed the phone to this procedure automatically every time I unlocked the phone.
The macro should contain the following actions:
Trigger - Screen Unlock
Actions -
1: Wait 1 second
2: Set Brightness to 100% (Set "slider value" to 100% and don't mark the other two options that will show up neither the auto brightness, just change the slider value.)
3: Wait 2 second (This timer is required because if you try to set the value right after changing the display to 100% brightness, the screen will still show up the greenish overlay).
4: Set Brightness to XX% (Same rules as action 2, but this time you can set the slider value to any value that you want, I set mine to 20% since it's the brightness that I like to use daily, but you can change to whatever you like).
No constraints needed.
Save the macro and turn it on.
Now, you will notice that after the unlock, without you touching anything, the screen will automatically go to 100%, the display will go back to normal colors and functioning, and then it will go again automatically to the brightness you want to use.
I hope I was clear enough and that this helps anyone that may be facing the same issue.
(Sorry if some sentences don't sound right, English it's not my main language)

And then manually change brightness slider from 100 to 10
And keep repeating
It worked for me ;)
Worth a try

Set your brighness to lowest or maximum, it will solve the problem as i just notice after i buy new handphone and try to sync the data from note 9 . For me, i will ban samsung forever even though the cost of replacement screen is cheaper then buy a new device. All this happend after march patch update. It samsung fault and yet they still denie on it and still charge for screen replacement.

Same here... Help please ??? Anyone ???
This had happened with me but it got fixed but now it has started again
If some method worked for you please share it
So I took all the fixes and tried them.. its 100% a heat issue but I think samsung pushed it into our phones.. the OLED saver helps.. turning off adaptive display helps putting your phone on the lowest resolution helps. Keeping the brightness down low helps.. and make sure its not on performance mode. when it does happen I can put it in front of my window AC unit and cool it off and it will correct. Now I have been on Oreo since the phone has been released and use package disabler pro and froze 119 apps everything that would not break the phone.. even Bixby is frozen and will not pop up .. so my battery is incredibly good and my phone would never heat up until recently about a month and half ago I transferred all my videos from my phone to my computer and it started after that.. so some app from the play store that was updated made this issue or this was written in the original code to mess our phones up.. can't happen to everyone
I agree with this, discoloration happens to my phone when its heating up. So I decided to do the same trick as you did.
Please try this simple fix. I made a simple video about it.

@@reecenaidu6020 it's better to buy a new one tbh. If your phone starts to flicker your just months away before it go completely black. I suggest disable and never install a new system updates to prevent it for getting worst.
try this:
turn on ALWAYS ON DISPLAY >> turn screen off >> press screen to enable always on display >> unlock phone
This is what I have been doing so far. And it works perfectly. But it was a temporary fix.
Bro I dropped my s9 and it slid 20 ft on concrete damaged the glass and I thought it was done I also had that green effect I finally got it to show a almost perfect screen I though I fixed it till I could and get new one but it would go back green to the green screen two three times an hour now that I watched your video it makes sense to what was going on thank you and keep up the good videos
I Have this problem for the past one year. I'll never buy another Samsung phone again
Same
Same bro
It's not their fault it's because of AMOLED screen type it depends on how much you put your brightness level and how long you use your phone with high brightness. iPhones can have similar problem too cause from iPhone X they use AMOLED screen technology as well
P.S. this shown in this video is a software problem and Samsung's fault but you said your problem occured one year ago
Does the problem increase day by day?
Same issue (worse actually) here with S9+
Me with samsung a71 ,that i just bought 4 month ago
@@aliahanisahbintihussin6932 ooouch, too bad ;( still guaranteed right?

A #Note 20 ultra, Snapdragon, US version, here... It seems that the #yellow #discoloration is a software issue that #AMOLED display loses the true black color
omg it is the sensors thank you sooo much
I was shocked to see my phone discolored with lines and mainly has a green tone. Your hack worked and I didn't need to lower my brightness. I just really had to turn my adaptive brightness off. I hope it doesn't happen again! 🤕
Hope so too!
I have posted solution check
those who facing this problem. . .
please use the app.. . OLED SAVER
Your ultimate solution to Display Burning
Thank you Mahmudul! I have a Note 9 and based on the numerous feedback, it has a problem with AMOLED screen. OLED SAVER is indeed the SAVIOR!
How about your note after update software? Fixid?
In my case. I turned on Always on Display, so when i tap the screen clock etc shows, then after unlocking, everything works perfect.
But in my case phone not alwys unlock with fucked screen.
Anyway, this was not cheap phone when I bought it and I expect that everything works perfect for that kind of money......
I have just tested a little bit more and it looks like there is better solution.
You can select Always show, show main screen button (sorry for translation) and (I hope) it will never broke again. You have to wait around one second after locking phone for this button to show, before unlocking
This method work for my S9+
So frustrating as Samsung doesn't care. Good bye Samsung.
Me watching the video with same problem

Hi. If i use a spare mother board that is not updated with the latest software, will it fix the problem? Samsung note 8 user here
we can't know that but please let us know if you try.
no because I am still on the original software 8.1.0 oreo ... I do notice that it get hotter then it use to... has to be a system app after update... not a software issue
@@productionapostle1298 System app is a software... Also you said it yourself; "has to be a system app *after the update* ". The guy is saying he will get a spare motherboard *without the latest update* so idk why would you make this utterly stupid comment.
@@Narcostic you do realize apps update... the firmware was never updated .. are you joking me.. it's an app software update ... so there is nothing you can do about it.. your chrome or Samsung internet or RUclips apps will update weather or not you update the firmware.. like I said I am on Oreo 8.1.0 never updated the firmware... someone always trolling
I somehow fixed this problem on accident I don't know for sure how to describe it but tap the screen then tap the home button on the bottom twice then ur phone opens up and flick down on top of the screen to pull up the little menu then click the settings button and it will freeze but to unfreeze it flick the menu down again until u get to the brightness slider and turn it all the way up. Thats how I fixed mine
Thanks a lot bro. It really worked.😊
How?? I cant
You can also place the sensor on the sun or light it will come clearly
Yeah, i my experience, either highest or lowest brightness works
This is the work around I have been using for months. In combo with the Show Always Clock setting I no longer have dramas.
So this happened after the latest update?
This happened to me days ago and idk how to fix
Im worried cos its my mom phone and i haven't told her yet
@@denxzz2761 its samsung fault. I found a workaround. Turn off the display, tap it to show the time and turn it on.
@@viliboy sorry but whats a workaround im dumb
@@viliboy so it means the device isn't broken or the screen or the battery
It's working for me, thanks
Hope it will work for longer
Haaaa was thinking am the only one suffering this issue
Did you solve it?
Mine fixed on it's own. I left it on AOD (always on display) for a whole day and it was corrected. Yours may take more than a day to fix but it worked for me
Hope this helps❤
i'll try
@@ddoorlando did it work?
@@rafaakter1188 sadly, no. I just use my phone like this, with the green look alike screen hahaha, just be patient until get the new one
no if you turn the always on display on and and cut your screen off and then tap your screen and hit the button at the bottom of the screen your screen will turn on with out being green covering the top of your phone dont do nothing
That doesn't work either. Smh
ha ha ha ha ......
Is it covered under warranty pls tell becoz even my s9 plus have this problem
Me too been having this problem since last month... kinda scary since this phone is so expensive to be having this problem.
