Phone is 2 years old now. Purchased from Ireland from UK. It worked fine, and one fine day, grey horizontal lines started coming on phone.

Display is good, touch sense is good, no issues. phone not dropped, no display broken. 

Enhanced mode which gets enabled in Youtube etc, works fine. no lines appears. 

 

Lines appear on low brightness screen, generally it is when Auto brightness is set. When i manually set brightness little high, lines disappears. 

 

it was like that for a month, then suddenly i saw i was behind samsung system updates. i have updated it. 

i was surprised, lines disappeared after updates.  i slept happily. 

 

When i got up in morning, starting playing with phone and after some time, lines appeared. 

 

i dont want to spend cost of 2 general smaprtphones to replace screen, which i am worried of if i visit repair store.

 

if its hardware issue, why it got fixed after updates and worked for some time. is there anything loose in phone?

 

pl help and suggest. 

 

Model SM-G950FD

 

One UI 1.0 Android ver 9.0.

Security software Sep2020 updated.

Could this be a software issue?  My blue light filter started and also I went to app store to check if any apps needed updating, and the only one that wasn't up to date was MyFitnessPal, which I updated.  I went off to have dinner, away from the phone for an about an hour while these two things took place and the grey lines disappeared.

Blimey, it's quiet in here, it's as if Samsung doesn't care.  I tried running phone in safe mode, but lines are still there.  I also took photos.this photo of instructions is in white, but it appears greyish with lines all the waythis photo of instructions is in white, but it appears greyish with lines all the wayPhoto of white ceiling.Photo of white ceiling.

I think the problem lies in "Display Mode > Adaptive display". Gray lines disappear if AMOLED or Basic Photo mode is applied.
