Samsung S22 Ultra Screen Problem

[chrisque5]

I was using my S22 Ultra, all of a sudden the screen turned shaded and a white strip along the front camera.

The phone didn't fall or hit. I bought this phone on 25th Feb 2022. Galaxy S22 Ultra

If you go into the phone app and dial *#0*#
At the top are 3 different coloured test cards
If the white line disappears. Then it is likely you have an app or theme that's causing this issue.
If the white line still shows in the tests. Then you are looking to get it booked in for a repair

You can always try wiping the Partition Cashe on the phone. Just in case

Hi, along with Glenntech's good advice you could also enter into the diagnostic settings.

Hi @chrisque5 

Try putting the phone into Safe Mode. 

> Safe Mode  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ turns off downloaded apps and themes etc which may highlight an app or theme that's causing conflict. 

If that fails try a soft reboot by turning the phone Off and On. 

Ultimately a factory reset after backing up may help.

A Samsung Service Centre can assess your phone too if necessary. 

If I can be of any further help then please don't hesitate. Take care.  😎

Thanks for all your replies. Looks to be a hardware issue. Visited Samsung Service Centre, they've accepted to fix it under warranty. But the problem may occur for other Samsung devices too.

Samsung Service Center guys replaced the screen. In addition to that, they've changed the battery and the body. All done in 2 days. This is the thing I love about Samsung and that keeps me a fanboy since S1 🥰

This is definitely note our fault. This problem can be temporarily alleviated by adjusting the screen refresh rate to 60Hz (Settings > Display > Motion smoothness > Standard). Similarly we can enable "Power saving" mode. let's band together and make our voices heard. Please sign our petition to demand Samsung fix our screens for free and prevent this from happening again

Tried this and when selecting red/green/blue the line still there. Switching to standard the display smoothness temporary fix the issue but when you restart or it powers on the line still shows up.

[MrD3]

changing the display smoothness to adaptive reproduce the issue above temporary fix set it to standard
