Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Screen Issue After Android 10 Update - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

After I updated my Galaxy Tab S4 to Android 10 with One UI 2, the screen became like the picture attached. Now half of the screen is occupied by black and white stripes.
I contacted Samsung and tried all the possible troubleshooting solutions but in vain, the problem still existed.
I also started a thread on Samsung community about this issue, and I got a lot of replies about the same screen problem that happened with many people.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...en-issue-after-android-10-update/td-p/1837825
Still no response from Samsung about that.
Please can you help me with this issue?

I got 100% same problem
I try downgrade and same
But mine its from damage during shipping, the glass covering the amoled is cracked but I hope the screen its not affected.
Now I'm waiting the HDMI to usb type c cable to arrive to see if its screen or motherboard problem
If I lock/unlock(power button) fast and many times the lines dissapear and works normall a while

Do you fix it or you find what is wrong?

Today the HDMI to usb type c cabe arrived from china
I connect the tablet to TV and seems that lines are only on amoled, unfortunately the screen seem to be faulty

unfortunately this is not screen issue, this is RAM or CPU issue, i did a Reballing and RAM replacement on Customer's TAB S4 and the issue was solved.

Thanks biohazard for your reply, i'm going to examinate the motherboard I really trust in yor words and is what i believe..
Anyway someone else can confirm after changing the screen this kinda of issue persist?
I want to clear the situation share your experience!

I can confirm what biohazard16 said, it's not oled screen problem or display coonection problem but hardware problem on the motherboard. I've tried to connect my tablet using MHL cable to a TV and the picture on the TV is perfect without any glitch, clear of any half screen issue. I've tried to install another original screen 100% working and i've still had the same half screen issue, it's not a screen problem.
I search a lot in internet for complete schematics or boardview for this Tab S4 but i've only found a service manual that doesn't help. If anyone have boardview or any other Oled pinout please post.
I think that Samsung after made a good tablet, wich a large amount of these have the same screen issue, must be release the complete schematics because people with good skills can repair a Project/Assembly mistake made by Samsung, but till now from Samsung 0 news.
At this point i want go through the problem and i've attached a picture of what IC need to be reball/resolder.
biohazrd16 or anyone can confirm i'am right?
I start thinking that reapir this kind of issue is like the 3rd secret of Fatima ;-)

hello guyz!
my samsung galaxy 3 i5801 display got damged recently!so i took my cell to local samsung cervice center! he said that the display screen is not available! so he replaced my damaged screen by a duplicate screen! the problem with this screen is it shows different colours when seen from different angles(basically its a TFT screen i guess)! this really hurts my eyes ! so i am planning buy a new screen where can i get one?
i search them on ebay and i found some!but i could not decide which one to get! all are for i5800 and mine is i5801 ! i guess it dosent really makes any difference! As i am not allowed to post urls please search "Display Screen For Samsung Galaxy 3 i5800" on ebay.com and tell me which one to buy!
Thank you!
How much did you spent on replacement LCD ?
Did samsung guys sold you a duplicate/non-company authorized screen, this would be the strangest thing I heard about any company service center.
I don't think you should be buying it off Ebay without knowing about details of screen and a couple of reviews about it.
I recently saved my Galaxy 3 as it suffered from non-functional touch screen and a broken volume button connector, had to fully dis-assemble and do the stuff to fix it.

distorted display / all white colours turned blue

I have turned my tablet this morning and don't know what happened: on the start up background has turned kind reddish and Samsung log blue. I thought first that somehow I changed settings and inverted display. Anyway it looks like all whites have been replaced by blue and screen looks slightly distorted. Factory reset didn't help and of course tablet is no longer under the warranty
I would be very grateful for any ideas how to fix that.
The problem might be a lose connection with the display connector cable. I also had a problem with this cable a view months after I bought the tablet, as my screen started flickering and went completely black shortly after. I read from other people having also connection problems with that cable.
As you are no longer on warranty, I suggest you open the tablet by yourself and reconnect the cable.
You can see the cable here in this video at 3:02, just unplug and reinsert it into the socket.
Watch the video for a tutorial how to open the tablet.

That's of course just a guess, the problem may also have other root causes.
Same issue
Hi! I have the same issue with my 10.1 Note 2014. I went to a service center with it and after running some diagnostics, the verdict of the service person was that the ROM on one of the chips on the motherboard has become corrupted and needs to be re-flashed. And the price for doing this was ~220 euro. As this is a bit too steep for this operation, I will be looking for other service points that may sort it out, while checking prices for a new tablet. If they manage to sort it out, I'll add an update on this post with how they did it.
If anyone else has any other ideas about sorting out this issue, I'd love to hear them

Help Please: Screen lost gamma after USB/charging board replacement.

Hi Folks.
I searched the forum for related issues but only found one other user who never got a response. I recently took it upon myself to replace the usb/charging board and mic on my stock sph-l900 note II running 4.4.2. Prior to the repair the display was perfect. Anyhow i replaced the board and when I powered up the phone the display seems to have lost the ability to display black. The Note II launch screen looks brown, so brown i would call it woodgrain. I double checked all connections and messed with every every display setting, none of which solved the problem. The touchscreen still works, the phone runs everything beuatifully, but the display gamma is too high by at least .6 everywhere on the screen.
Is this a matter of dust between the digitizer and screen? IS this even a problem anyone is remotely aware of? I have a cheap replacement glass but that was not an endeavor I wanted to attempt. Any ideas what to attempt short of replacing the screen? Any ideas at all?

SM-T310 Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" Screen Resolution low - and interlaced ???

So somebody gave me a tablet that they had "dropped in the bathtub" .. Figured I'd take a gamble at fixing it as when powered on , no display or backlight but all the sounds and digitizer seemed to work ok.
Got the lcd+digitizer on Ebay, powered on ... back light works but no display .... figured i'd go deeper, bought a used mobo .. I did this as a gamble knowing it'd be easier to toss the thing and try and sell the screen locally but mobo+screen should be a sure deal to get it going again.
When I power on into recovery mode/flash mode the resolution is still interlaced which leads me to believe it could be hardware ...
Just charging it now to give it a flash with Kies but wondering if anyone has experienced this or can give guidance on what to troubleshoot. Google has yielded nothing.
Touch works, but my touches don't line up to what's on the screen.

SM-T800 display issue after charging

Hello everybody
it happens suddenly, for no reason, on a resurrection remix rom which worked fine for years: after a charge, my display started working erratically (working/not working, twinkle?randomly... i don't know the exact english term).
Just in case, i changed of rom and switched to the official lineage rom here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-sm-t800-t3545080
i followed all the procedure but nothing changed after that, my display acting still erratically.
When i boot, i have the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message on top/left before booting into the lineage rom, i don't know what does it mean and if it could be related to my display issue. i don't remember if it was there when i had the previews rom though....
Could it be a kernel issue?
i looked to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/tab-s-8-4-wifi-6-0-1-update-restarts-t3465133
but my problem seems different, since i have display issue (randomly!) even where i am start booting (when we see the samsung logo for exemple).
i tried the battery trick, i even bought a new one ;p, but it changes nothing :/
At this point, i don't know if it is finally a software or a hardware issue....
i am open to any suggestion, a link, an assistance in that matter would be greatly appreciated!
thank you
kind regards from France
The number 1 reason for flickering display on the S1 is loose battery connection, this affects the T7** a lot more than the T8** make sure the connector is soldered firmly to the motherboard and the plug half has a tight fit on all the pins, some solder the battery directly to the motherboard to fix the problem.

Thank you Tinderbox for your reply!
Somehow, i don't think it is, in my case, a connector problem as i tried electronic contact spray and the connector seems pretty sturdy too.
i think it is, when i touch the screen that the flickering display begins the most and i hear a dim sound each time the screen flickers.... i am beginning to think it is a screen defect after all....:/
kind regards from France
See if you can find a full teardown of an T800 on youtube, see if there is an connector for the display and check if it loose, have you dropped or bumped your T800, do you game on it, lots of hits to the screen could have caused a fault.
It`s a shame i love my T800, Maybe sell it on ebay as faulty and get the new S4 when it released it`s supposed to have and 16:9/10 display.

yes i gamed on it, but i play "gently", adventure, hack & slash RPG game...
No, i haven't dropped it and it is in a otterbox defender rugged case!
it happend just after charging it, for no reason...
Yes i love my T800 too, i bought at a very cool price a Z4 tablet, but bootloader is locked on this one(some kind of stupid lotery, imho)((
I just purchased the tab s3 at a cool price, i didn't know the tab s4 would be 16:9/10 but for gaming, 4:3 isn't a problem:/
Thank you again for your feedback!:good:
[EDIT] i followed your advice and canceled my Tab S3 purchase: i wil wait patiently for the Tab S4, thank you for that too.
