Z Flip 3 main screen malfunctioning - bug?

[Anonymous User]

I've had my Z flip 3 for about three weeks now and I've encountered a strange bug, or i hope it's a bug. Main screen will sometimes malfunction while you either open or close the handset. Less of a problem when closed, but if the malfunctioning happens while opening. Screen won't turn on until you close the phone again or just wait it out for it to"refresh"? I've already got a replacement (i hope so...), which has the exact same problem as the first. Some good answers?

I am having the same problem it's worse following software update which happened yesterday!

Reens78 - Sorry to hear you are one of many having similar issues.   I have searched many different sites (blogs, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, etc..etc) talking about this issue and the only solution, depending on what country you are from, is to send the phone to Samsung or an authorized repair facility for repair.   Nothing else appears to work.  Samsung is aware of the issue so I would try and get the phone fixed under warranty.  I like the phone, but the Flip 3 has some issues.   I traded mine in for a Flip 4, hoping the issue was fixed and so far I have not read similiar issues happening to the Flip 4's.

So strangely for the last 3 days the issue seems to have subsided! I didn't do anything. Hope it stays that way.

Same problem. Same scheme from Samsung to waive the warranty by FINDING SOME SCRATCHES ON THE FRAME. I locate in Germany, and highly recommend not buying Samsung and move to Pixel or iPhone.

I found the solution to this problem after Samsung refusing to inspect the problem but try really hard to void your warranty by FINDING a scratch. Anyway, I found out it was a RAM issue for my case, so I screenshot the list while I clear memory (RAM) for unused apps. What worked for mine is the "Meta Services", which allegedly is for Facebook. After disable this in the setting-->app, it works perfectly.

But, will never buy anything from Samsung after their terrible service and bad approach to solve issues - by FINDING a scratch and waiving your warranty! Problem solved for them!

Mine was doing the same at one point nearly every time I opened it or closed it.

Used the airline at work to blow out specifically the hinged areaof the phonne
Minute traces of dust must get down there.
Works fine now

Just release the update to fix the bugs. I know for now I won't flip. It is hard to live the truth.

Just send the update to fix the bugs

Try putting lock screen on . Settings always on it sorted my issue 👍

I tried this and only worked for a day, that's how I realized it was a software issue and not a hardware one, but disabling the Meta Services and other Meta apps is what finally solved the issues for me.
