Fold 3 inner screen sluggish

[Andy-F]

Started this morning, the internal screen is almost in slow motion and flickering grey lines are coming across it when I try to use it

Middle of screen protecter is a split which is getting worse but can't see how this would be a cause

Outside screen is still working great.

Have tried restart and changing display settings.

Even tried it in SAFE mode...no difference 

Any else experienced similar?

And any fixes?

I am having the same issues. I have not found a fix for it, however occasionally after a few minutes the problem will stop, until I fold the phone once again.

anyone find what the problem is? my z fold 3 is doing the same. inner screen is really sluggish and see flickering grey lines .. probably due to the extreme lag.

I am facing the same issue. Obviously it's a bad update! Samsung needs a better QA team for sure! In the last 18 months I have had to change inners screen protector 5 times and now the bigger screen is literally useless! 

I expected more from a $1800 phone!

Samsung store couldn't fix it. they wanted to reflash the bios but the phone wouldn't reflash. I tried factory reset but no change.

sound like an intentional move by Samsung to force an upgrade

@sammieso Did you try to factory reset by holding power and volume button?

[sammieso]

yes I did a force reset. I also did a factory reset and started everything from scratch.

What a disappointing news! I was planning to do that tonight and hoping it would fix the issue. @sammieso 

[sammieso]

@k1ch  yes you should try a factory reset. also try booting into safe mode first. good luck.

It's a hinge issue apparently, hardware fault rather than software
