5:50 you forgot to mention built-in microwave feature. Its my favourite. If my coffee gets cold, i just dip the phone in it, viola instantly get my hot coffee.
@@butimjeremy if you use the phone with case, you wouldn't feel much heat. But if you try it without cover, you might experience how hot the metal frame gets sometimes.
@@butimjeremy great 😃. I feel overheating usually when i am using TH-cam in picture in picture mode while playing a game. It is not unbearable but it feels hot.
@IncognitoSahil yes you are right it often reaches 42°C yet I don't do anything special. I bought a cooler because I often felt the metal heating up and almost burned my hands.
Mine too got green line after an update on 2nd october on my s21 fe . After visiting service centre they issued a job sheet but now they asked me to pay the whole price to replace .I am out of warranty and my phone has no scratches and dent
You'll have to prove that it happened because of the update! I had recorded videos of my phone before and after. Still try to speak to customer service.
I didn't update cause i saw this issue popping on reddit a lot. But on oct 7 it somehow installed the update automatically. Today i got the white line. Way too f-ed up.
The main reason of this issue is the not proper calibration of the Amoled displays which were produced by Samsung during the 2021-2022 time gap. These screens are distributed to Apple, Oneplus and many other and ofcourse Samsung itself. The main reason of the lines popping out is due to the heat generated during software updates. OnePlus stopped using Samsung displays in their 12 and 12R models and I haven't seen any green line or similar issues in it. Make sure to wait for a week or two before updating your device and if possible update it in a cool place avoiding unnecessary heat sources.
Thanks for the detailed comment. I tried updating my phone with the AC and fan on. Also removed my phone case and kept it in the open for air flow. But I still got the line.
Thanks Jeremy for this video. I had the same issue, took it to my local Samsung Service Center around July 18th and they made no fuss and told me that post approval (i.e. if there is no physical and water damage), it would take 15 days for the screen to come. I then left the phone there ( felt a bit skeptical of leaving it there but took the chance). I then got a repair reference number after 2 days from which I could track the repair, the screen was ordered right away ( I assume the approval was given by that time) it took around 3 weeks and today I collected my phone. So yes, I only had to wait for 3 weeks and pay the Rs. 502 labour fee, other than that the process was hassle free. Thanks for your video and it motivated me and gave me a good picture of how to approach this issue.
Most welcome and thank you for the additional information. 3 weeks is still a long time in today's day and age, everyone has everything on the smartphone.
My sister has an s21fe which was working fine a few days back but since last week after an update it’s facing major network issues, even making a phone call seems difficult. When we took that phone to the service centre they reset the software and nothing changed, now they are saying that it’s a motherboard issue and we will have to change the whole motherboard which will cost us around 22k. The device is just 15 months old and it’s literally unusable now. What’s the use of AI updates if you cannot connect to the internet. Really disappointed, never buying a Samsung phone ever again.
I tried as much as I could with customer support after the same issue after April update. They didn’t give in at all and I’m really furious about Samsung for being so irresponsible. Never going to buy the brand again ever unless they fix it.
Bro complain to them on twitter and raise a complaint directly in a samsung service center after that if they say that they will not fix it tell them you will go to consumer court. Mine got fixed for service charge only after got line in April update.( the service charge I had to pay was because they insisted on having the original bill for no cost repair most likely they wanted a reason to avoid responsibility) even after all this they don't fix go for consumer court and complain that they are purposefully doing this and avoiding responsibility since it happens to multiple phones
@@sujithsudhakaran745 Bro already complained in the service center. My case got escalated to Delhi (I live in Mumbai). After countless hours on calls and visits to the service center and weeks of processing, they told me my case isnt eligible for free of cost repair due to the age of my device ( something they were well aware of since day 1. My phone has no cracks, scratches, scuffs, not even water damage. It is pathetic how they are treating their customers and getting away with it. Keep in mind my device is a Note 20 Ultra, a flagship from samsung, cant image what kind of treatment entry level or midrange phone users face. Pathetic and disappointing. I have also lodged a complain in the consumer forum, after which i received a call from the higher up saying "Our decision is final, we cannot help you". I dont see how I can take this case forward. I have been a loyal customer to samsung have used almost all 'S' series phones in the past dating back to S2 and this is the second time this is happening to me after my S7 edge had the same exact issue and no support from samsung till the end. I dont see myself buying another samsung product in the future if I get no resolution this time.
Yesterday, my s21fe5g also developed a vertical line after a software update. When I contacted the samsung customer support he directed me to go the nearest service centre. He also informed me that Samsung have a free screen replacement policy for such defects which is valid till sept 2024. The service centre guy checked my mobile for any physical or water damage. My phone is in perfect condition. They said they will order for the replacement screen unit, and call me when it arrives. I just have to pay some service charges of Rs.500. I am waiting for their call in 3-4 days.
Updated policy of Samsung for Line display issue in some of their phones including S21fe5g etc. There are few VOC’s from customers regarding Line in display in their handset during Out warranty period without any physical damage or waterlogged sign. To support the customers, it is decided to consider this issue for only one-time FOC replacement of OCTA assembly along with Battery & Rework Kit in above said model until 30th Sep 2024. This policy is applicable one time only within 3 years of handset purchase for FOC parts to the 1st Purchaser only with original invoice however Labor charges to be paid by customer.
Now Samsung has reconsidered free replacement, Samsung India Support confirmed its free screen replacement program has been extended. It is now available for Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE, and Galaxy S22 Ultra users. The period for this screen replacement program is valid until 30 September 2024. Moreover, those devices should have been purchased within three years from the date of the repair request. Samsung also revealed that while the screen panel will be available free of cost, users have to bear the labor charges and need to have the original purchase bill. I hope you have a great day.
@@atf56 Yes it can happen, can't understand what samsung is planning, I feel sorry for the customer who have paid 12K-15K already for screen replacement. Samsung should change the terms to lifetime once free replacement for the affected Smartphones.
Same thing happened with my Samsung s21 fe 😢 I was very sad and was scared to tell at home. I remember using the phone and then putting it on charge. After sometime when I got it back on suddenly I see a line. I hadn't dropped it or anything so I was surprised that how did it happen. But after some research online I found out i wasn't the only one with this issue. The service center said that they'll change the screen for free and will only charge service cost which is Rs 500 . I haven't repaired yet but atleast I am relieved to not pay ridiculous money for something i didn't cause in the first place. I have been a Samsung user for over a decade and never faced such faulty update glitch.
It has happened to me too. I have a S22 ultra. I used to live in SG and got the phone there. They got me into the trouble of retrieving my old receipt and then said they will charge me Rs. 19300+ for repair as it was bought overseas. It happened after a software update and my phone is functioning fine otherwise. I think they are finding silly reasons to not fix it for free anymore. There service sucks.
I am also a victim. I bought a phone worth Rs. 35,000. In 20 months, first a line appeared on the screen, then gradually the whole screen got damaged. The service center is asking for Rs. 13,000. I don't want to buy any Samsung product.
My phone is also having green line problem ever since I updated it. And samsung should come up with a solution for this issue as it is probably happening to every Samsung S series user.
I faced the same issue, samsung customer care nor service centre provided any help.finally exchanged for OnePlus 12r at a very low exchange price. Huge loss for me buying s21fe the price also dropped after 1 months of purchase. No more samsung for me anymore not in my dreams too..
Same issue with my S22 ultra. After update (30 September 24) 1 green line came on display. At service center they told me to pay full amount that is 23000 for screen replacement. After some mails and phone call, final result is i have to pay 3400 for screen replacement. Now my phone is working fine.
Finally after 2 weeks of getting green and pink lines on my S22+ and frequently sending mails and making calls, complaints, Samsung gave me free display and battery replacement, no physical or no liquid damages found on my phone which is 1yr n 5 months old. The service center told me to continue updating my phone as it wan't happen again
Yeah they told me the same thing back in June. I have no seen the line again since then. However I remove my phone cover and make sure the phone is cool while updating.
@@butimjeremy How many days service center takes to replace the screen? We have to handover the phone to service center once complaint is raised? After fixing the issue, further warranty was given to you?
My Galaxy Flip 3 also has the same issue. After tweeting about it, they called me and said that my model isn't eligible for a free screen replacement and the service center told me that replacing the screen would cost 31,000 rupees.
How did u do it in so less? I also got a call yesterday from customer support, they took some details and said they'll come back with the best possible solution, so just want to know how did u manage to do it in so less??? Complete details will be much appreciated
My dad's suffered from the same issue here in Brazil. He also have a S21 FE. I faced the same issue exactly one year ago with my S20+. Such a coincidence, isn't it?
Brother, not only you are facing in S21 FE, even I am facing the same issue in Realme X7 Pro and in Realme Community its full of complaints and mostly are of X7 Pro. I got twice free screen replacements and now for third time i am facing and service centre people are denying for free replacement because of Water/Liquid Damage. My question to them was why twice green lines came without liquid damage and now with with liquid damage, The green line is not linked with water/physical damage, its something internal manufacturing defect, planned obsolescence by smartphone brands or some chances are even also due to software updates.
Now using Realme X7 Pro with one green line and its too annoying and shameful to use infront of others since they will think its a very old or cheap phone 😭
@@butimjeremy So now even I was thinking of buying phones worth between 30K to 50K this upcoming festive season because already facing green lines issue, and due to this I can't even sleep properly, because now even having potential of buying a good expensive phone cannot buy because of green lines since who knows when it will come and destroy all our hard-earned money. If you have any idea regarding which phones might not get etc please reply to me. And my father recently two weeks ago purchased Samsung Galaxy S23FE Exynos version is that also vulnerable? My dad is also crying now that he will also face this issue soon. These green lines have destroyed our lives.
@@butimjeremy Connector seems to be issue then why brands are not putting good quality product and why service centre peoples put that thing properly?? My question is this to them. And if its connector problem then they should not put t&c of physical and liquid damage.
Eventhough if we replaced the display green line will occur again bcoz the problem is from the flex cable not the display. Now OnePlus offering lifetime free replacement for green line issue and they stopped using Samsung amoled display and switched to BOE amoled display in their upcoming flagship mobile so its better move to oneplus brother. If you well adopted to samsung then just make your phone not to be heat by using flight mode whenever you wont use your phone hopefully Samsung will fix their upcoming mobiles
@@butimjeremy I'm in Nigeria, they denied me free replacement. I was using the snapdragon version from US, and was asked to take it back to a shop in the place of purchase to get a free replacement. Those were really frustrating times, I endured it from late December till mid March, I eventually sold it as a scrap piece to a phone repairer and bought s20 FE 5G. I haven't had issue with this one, but I think that's because this one hasn't been getting any recent updates. I do believe they're rendering our devices obsolete purposely, to force upgrades.
Mine too. Had the same issue with m52 5g. I didn't get it repair. But now again ordered new phone from Samsung ie s21 fe 5g snapdragon variant hoping there won't be any issues but now I'm seeing these reviews and comments. Again fear started. Should I go with s21 fe 5g or I should cancel it. Please suggest anyone..
@@swarooppabbineedi1820 I would suggest! Skip the S21FE and get the S23 FE. Even if you buy a new S21FE there's no guarantee that you won't face the same issue after a year. If it happens under warranty you can get it replaced, otherwise they might not put out a screen replacement offer.
If it's a software issue it should affect everybody who has updated the software but that's definitely not the case. I have been using the s21 fe exynos version since 3 yrs and have never had any issue as such. The green line issue might occur due to hardware damage that might have been caused due to overheating while you might have updated. Not sure if you had removed the case while you updated your phone. Updates are really heavy and put up a lot of stress on that exynos chip and a case just worsens the situation as the heat is not able to dissipate due to the non conductive material. Anyway, this is just my opinion. At the end of the day the issue might have occurred due to the overheating chip which is really not a consumer's fault.
Yes! I heard about the overheating problem during updates. All my phone updates are done with the phone cover removed and the AC switched on with the phone elevated to let some cold air get around the phone. Despite all of this the phone did get the line.
Come on we are in 2024 and you think updating a phone with a case on will cause green line issues??🙆🏾 Moreover the June month update was not a heavy one, it was just around 250mb as it is a security patch ONLY!
@@aritranath138 Yes I'm very much aware of that, but phones are no longer over heating like they used to 7-8yrs back, I owned a redmi note 3 which used to overheat and its back was no less than iron box, now the tech has improved & cooling mechanisms are induced into chipsets & panels. Heating may be one of the reason for green line, but core reason is something else. Many corporate employees who spend most of their day in office AC also have faced green line issues on their devices.
Good that you posted a video on this. Best solution is gathering the victims and filing the legal suit against samsung irrespective of its model of year of purchase date if they deny to service it for free, infact they need to pay a compensation even after the free replacement for the days we left without that phone. Also give the assurance that it won't repeat again and if repeats then free replacement again. And the losses due to absence differs person to person, they can add all kind of expense and file the suit for the time been wasted by Samsung. Let them be Genuine. If not consumers must stay united and make a lesson to samsung and other OEMs as well proactively, so that every updates will be well tested before it's release to public mass. Else other OEMs will tend to do the same to lure public money, think of of some one who buy only a phone of cost 10k worth with loan and his condition to fore go such OEM faults. Things to be empathised from the shoes of worst affected victims.
@butimjeremy That's true... I had to post on X tagging samsung with the photo and explaining the issue atleast 3-4 times .. and then got a call from Samsung. I atleast visited 5 times to service centre to solve the issue.
No, samsung is way better just get the newer models. This issue came due to samsung amoled displays which were not properly calibrated. Apple also sourced their displays from Samsung so they also have same issue. They have fixed in newer models
You can go to the service centre and tell them about the issue. They will check for physical or water damage. I suggest you also raise a complaint with customer service. You'll need to explain to them that many people are facing this issue and it's not just you.
@@Sidhu_2005 It was raised by the service centre based on what I told them. They charge ₹236 to raise the complaint. I told them the phone was fine before the update, and after the update a line appeared. They checked for physical and water damage and forwarded the complaint to Delhi.
I faced this same issue on may month they were asking charges so i tweeted to samsung India and after lot of hassles they asked for 2k rupees as service charge rest of screen prices was levied.
I also done the some...but with little hiccup..that is I complain directly in CONSUMER FORUM...And after that samsung support called me told me to pay 2700rs apprx..I'm happy with...They said to visit centre on monday....we'll see how's that go..
You shouldn't have agreed,2700 hundred is a lot because you are not responsible for this already at all,my friend got told exactly the same amount but he refused to pay that also, ultimately they backed off and my friend paid Only 700rs or so and they replaced the display
Sir, I too facing green line issue in my S21FE after June update... Customer support said its not samsung fault and I need to pay full amount for display replacement.. I didn't accept they said to fill the charge sheet in nearby service center... Will they replace it with free of cost???
File the charge sheet with the service centre and take it up with customer support. This is a wide spread genuine issue. If enough people get behind it, they will have to replace it for free. It is a manufacturing defect.

Same problem with OnePlus. The good part is OnePlus is replacing the display for free and have also given a free screen replacement offer to all it's affected users which is valid till 2029. The only issue is that the green line is a recurring problem. I changed my display a month back for the second time.

The problem is not limited to Samsung, but it is happening to Amoled displays. So if your next phone has a IPS LCD then it should be fine. I would suggest to get a phone thats been around for a while and check the web for any information about screen lines.
Samsung should start including other device costs in the brochure in this case. "Post sale, out-of-warranty charges: - Rs 236 to raise a complaint. - 10% to be paid by the customer for our software goof up." 😂 Also, the video is very informative. ❤

The point you made about heat is true! Less heat helps the phone and battery last longer. There is a co relation between heat and the screen like issue, although is not proven. I don't know if samsung has any screen replacement policy for this phone. No data is lost when they change the screen.

luckily my friends phone didn't get any such green line issue but he has already an another issue of Samsungs Shit (5g) network reception coz of Exynos chip
Something is wrong with their OLED screens. This is not new, old devices such as S9 plus experienced it. My guess is it’s plan obsolescence through hardware and software.
@@butimjeremy I mean idk with it being "quickly". Have you heard of Samsung technicians cutting TV Monitors to void warranties? Yeah... so this whole thing... it's not impossible.

Samsung too can do something if they want to.

Hi i purchased the mobile s21 from uae, and warranty is expired, its 1.5 years, can i get screen replacement in india, im now on india, please reply @butimjeremy
Thanks broo...it's valid now...I just enquired the service center
@@kiran_s_mangalath purchased from outside india can get
@@ghost7883 they said if we have documents like bills or anything to prove that it's purchased within 3 years they will replace it after reporting it to higher authorities...we may have to submit it to them for some days
@@butimjeremy i purchased from uae they didnt get the replacement free
The fact that it's post update shows that it is part of the software update, so clear programed obsolescence
That's a another point ! If a manufacturer is promising 3 years of software update, I think the warranty for certain parts should also be that long.
Why doesn't happen to all devices?
@@InformationFeeder it seems to be happening to amoled screens.

@@butimjeremy if you use the phone with case, you wouldn't feel much heat. But if you try it without cover, you might experience how hot the metal frame gets sometimes.
@@IncognitoSahil Yeah I have used it without the cover! I have edited videos on the phone but nothing much.
@@butimjeremy great 😃. I feel overheating usually when i am using TH-cam in picture in picture mode while playing a game. It is not unbearable but it feels hot.
@IncognitoSahil yes you are right it often reaches 42°C yet I don't do anything special. I bought a cooler because I often felt the metal heating up and almost burned my hands.
Mine too got green line after an update on 2nd october on my s21 fe . After visiting service centre they issued a job sheet but now they asked me to pay the whole price to replace .I am out of warranty and my phone has no scratches and dent
You'll have to prove that it happened because of the update! I had recorded videos of my phone before and after. Still try to speak to customer service.
And just yesterday my phone too have this line 😐
I didn't update cause i saw this issue popping on reddit a lot. But on oct 7 it somehow installed the update automatically. Today i got the white line. Way too f-ed up.
Even I got line in my display post update installed on Oct ...
@@jayamuruganece You need to take it to the service centre and raise a complaint.
My s21 fe is also having same issue after update, switching to other brand rather than spending for such poor customer service
I understand your situation 🙏
The main reason of this issue is the not proper calibration of the Amoled displays which were produced by Samsung during the 2021-2022 time gap. These screens are distributed to Apple, Oneplus and many other and ofcourse Samsung itself. The main reason of the lines popping out is due to the heat generated during software updates. OnePlus stopped using Samsung displays in their 12 and 12R models and I haven't seen any green line or similar issues in it. Make sure to wait for a week or two before updating your device and if possible update it in a cool place avoiding unnecessary heat sources.
Thanks for the detailed comment. I tried updating my phone with the AC and fan on. Also removed my phone case and kept it in the open for air flow. But I still got the line.
Bro What happens if I don't update my phone😮
@@bss118 You'll keep getting a notification.
@@butimjeremy may be better than a green line??
@@bss118 yeah but check out my latest pinned comment.
Thanks Jeremy for this video. I had the same issue, took it to my local Samsung Service Center around July 18th and they made no fuss and told me that post approval (i.e. if there is no physical and water damage), it would take 15 days for the screen to come. I then left the phone there ( felt a bit skeptical of leaving it there but took the chance). I then got a repair reference number after 2 days from which I could track the repair, the screen was ordered right away ( I assume the approval was given by that time) it took around 3 weeks and today I collected my phone. So yes, I only had to wait for 3 weeks and pay the Rs. 502 labour fee, other than that the process was hassle free. Thanks for your video and it motivated me and gave me a good picture of how to approach this issue.
Most welcome and thank you for the additional information. 3 weeks is still a long time in today's day and age, everyone has everything on the smartphone.
Having same issues, let me try this
@@mukeshshirode I suggest do it asap as I believe samsung has set a deadline for this (think it is September end)
hii brother before submitting the phone did you done anything for data privacy 😅 like samsung maintenance mode or backup etc..
@@kunalkolge1685 No I haven't. If you can please do, its best as we are handing over our phone.
My sister has an s21fe which was working fine a few days back but since last week after an update it’s facing major network issues, even making a phone call seems difficult. When we took that phone to the service centre they reset the software and nothing changed, now they are saying that it’s a motherboard issue and we will have to change the whole motherboard which will cost us around 22k. The device is just 15 months old and it’s literally unusable now. What’s the use of AI updates if you cannot connect to the internet. Really disappointed, never buying a Samsung phone ever again.
@@debasishsahu7055 This is the first time I'm hearing about such an issue.
@@butimjeremy I guess I am the unfortunate one🥲
@@butimjeremy@butimjeremy I had a similar issue, and It cost me 1800rs for the motherboard and back cover antenna. had to email for 1 month
I tried as much as I could with customer support after the same issue after April update. They didn’t give in at all and I’m really furious about Samsung for being so irresponsible. Never going to buy the brand again ever unless they fix it.
How old is your phone? And did they give you the water damage reason?
Same with my Note 20 Ultra, very disappointed with Samsung
Bro complain to them on twitter and raise a complaint directly in a samsung service center after that if they say that they will not fix it tell them you will go to consumer court. Mine got fixed for service charge only after got line in April update.( the service charge I had to pay was because they insisted on having the original bill for no cost repair most likely they wanted a reason to avoid responsibility) even after all this they don't fix go for consumer court and complain that they are purposefully doing this and avoiding responsibility since it happens to multiple phones
@@sujithsudhakaran745 Bro already complained in the service center. My case got escalated to Delhi (I live in Mumbai). After countless hours on calls and visits to the service center and weeks of processing, they told me my case isnt eligible for free of cost repair due to the age of my device ( something they were well aware of since day 1. My phone has no cracks, scratches, scuffs, not even water damage. It is pathetic how they are treating their customers and getting away with it. Keep in mind my device is a Note 20 Ultra, a flagship from samsung, cant image what kind of treatment entry level or midrange phone users face. Pathetic and disappointing.
I have also lodged a complain in the consumer forum, after which i received a call from the higher up saying "Our decision is final, we cannot help you". I dont see how I can take this case forward. I have been a loyal customer to samsung have used almost all 'S' series phones in the past dating back to S2 and this is the second time this is happening to me after my S7 edge had the same exact issue and no support from samsung till the end. I dont see myself buying another samsung product in the future if I get no resolution this time.
@sujithsudhakaran745 warranty me the tera phone?
Yesterday, my s21fe5g also developed a vertical line after a software update. When I contacted the samsung customer support he directed me to go the nearest service centre. He also informed me that Samsung have a free screen replacement policy for such defects which is valid till sept 2024. The service centre guy checked my mobile for any physical or water damage. My phone is in perfect condition. They said they will order for the replacement screen unit, and call me when it arrives. I just have to pay some service charges of Rs.500. I am waiting for their call in 3-4 days.
Updated policy of Samsung for Line display issue in some of their phones including S21fe5g etc.
There are few VOC’s from customers regarding Line in display in their handset during Out warranty period without any physical damage or waterlogged sign.
To support the customers, it is decided to consider this issue for only one-time FOC replacement of OCTA assembly along with Battery & Rework Kit in above said model until 30th Sep 2024.
This policy is applicable one time only within 3 years of handset purchase for FOC parts to the 1st Purchaser only with original invoice however Labor charges to be paid by customer.
Yes this is the latest policy as posted in my pinned comment.

Now Samsung has reconsidered free replacement, Samsung India Support confirmed its free screen replacement program has been extended. It is now available for Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE, and Galaxy S22 Ultra users. The period for this screen replacement program is valid until 30 September 2024. Moreover, those devices should have been purchased within three years from the date of the repair request. Samsung also revealed that while the screen panel will be available free of cost, users have to bear the labor charges and need to have the original purchase bill. I hope you have a great day.

How u got this informatiom bro..can u please tell source
Same thing happened with my Samsung s21 fe 😢 I was very sad and was scared to tell at home. I remember using the phone and then putting it on charge. After sometime when I got it back on suddenly I see a line. I hadn't dropped it or anything so I was surprised that how did it happen. But after some research online I found out i wasn't the only one with this issue.
The service center said that they'll change the screen for free and will only charge service cost which is Rs 500 . I haven't repaired yet but atleast I am relieved to not pay ridiculous money for something i didn't cause in the first place. I have been a Samsung user for over a decade and never faced such faulty update glitch.
Yeah! It's a wide spread issue with multiple devices and brands.
It has happened to me too. I have a S22 ultra. I used to live in SG and got the phone there. They got me into the trouble of retrieving my old receipt and then said they will charge me Rs. 19300+ for repair as it was bought overseas. It happened after a software update and my phone is functioning fine otherwise. I think they are finding silly reasons to not fix it for free anymore. There service sucks.
@@Liveandletlive1234 International or not! It's a problem that happens after the update! But yes they give stupid reasons for not repairing.
I also got green line issue in November.
But in my case they were very helpful and replaced the screen for free. No question asked.
@@AbhishekKumar-l8y5m that's great news
I am also a victim. I bought a phone worth Rs. 35,000. In 20 months, first a line appeared on the screen, then gradually the whole screen got damaged. The service center is asking for Rs. 13,000. I don't want to buy any Samsung product.
@@007mdshoeb that's really unfortunate 😟
Same here
My phone is also having green line problem ever since I updated it.
And samsung should come up with a solution for this issue as it is probably happening to every Samsung S series user.
Yeah it is a very critical and it is happening to alot of S and M series phones. Check my pinned comment for the latest.
I faced the same issue, samsung customer care nor service centre provided any help.finally exchanged for OnePlus 12r at a very low exchange price. Huge loss for me buying s21fe the price also dropped after 1 months of purchase. No more samsung for me anymore not in my dreams too..
Very sad story of a hard earned phone
I will noy buy any samsung mobile in future...

Same issue with my S22 ultra. After update (30 September 24) 1 green line came on display. At service center they told me to pay full amount that is 23000 for screen replacement. After some mails and phone call, final result is i have to pay 3400 for screen replacement. Now my phone is working fine.
Was your phone in warranty?
@butimjeremy No. Out of warranty. This issue occur exactly after 2 years ane 1 day.
@@aashishagalave9750 even my phone was out of warranty! But they have started the replacement policy and it ends in December
Finally after 2 weeks of getting green and pink lines on my S22+ and frequently sending mails and making calls, complaints, Samsung gave me free display and battery replacement, no physical or no liquid damages found on my phone which is 1yr n 5 months old. The service center told me to continue updating my phone as it wan't happen again
Yeah they told me the same thing back in June. I have no seen the line again since then. However I remove my phone cover and make sure the phone is cool while updating.
@@butimjeremy How many days service center takes to replace the screen? We have to handover the phone to service center once complaint is raised? After fixing the issue, further warranty was given to you?
My Galaxy Flip 3 also has the same issue. After tweeting about it, they called me and said that my model isn't eligible for a free screen replacement and the service center told me that replacing the screen would cost 31,000 rupees.
Woah! That's alot of money! Crazy!
Same problem with my s22 plus.not listed in their policy list
@Gayakranjan I'm also using s22+ and I'm having pink line and also green line
So you paid for something you are not responsible for??? Great. Should have gone to court instead of service center

I didnt update my phone for like 11 months and got a pink line on my samsung galaxy s20+. Not sure if it really is update related tbh
Just saw it today didn't update
It's a heat related issue. The connector can't take the heat - this is what I've read on most forums
My dad's suffered from the same issue here in Brazil. He also have a S21 FE. I faced the same issue exactly one year ago with my S20+. Such a coincidence, isn't it?
@@lucasmacedo2671 There is problem with the screen connectors and heat from the battery.
Brother, not only you are facing in S21 FE, even I am facing the same issue in Realme X7 Pro and in Realme Community its full of complaints and mostly are of X7 Pro. I got twice free screen replacements and now for third time i am facing and service centre people are denying for free replacement because of Water/Liquid Damage. My question to them was why twice green lines came without liquid damage and now with with liquid damage, The green line is not linked with water/physical damage, its something internal manufacturing defect, planned obsolescence by smartphone brands or some chances are even also due to software updates.
Now using Realme X7 Pro with one green line and its too annoying and shameful to use infront of others since they will think its a very old or cheap phone 😭
The connector seems to be a problem. It's happening to iphones and one plus also.
@@butimjeremy So now even I was thinking of buying phones worth between 30K to 50K this upcoming festive season because already facing green lines issue, and due to this I can't even sleep properly, because now even having potential of buying a good expensive phone cannot buy because of green lines since who knows when it will come and destroy all our hard-earned money. If you have any idea regarding which phones might not get etc please reply to me. And my father recently two weeks ago purchased Samsung Galaxy S23FE Exynos version is that also vulnerable? My dad is also crying now that he will also face this issue soon. These green lines have destroyed our lives.
@@butimjeremy Connector seems to be issue then why brands are not putting good quality product and why service centre peoples put that thing properly?? My question is this to them. And if its connector problem then they should not put t&c of physical and liquid damage.
@@nrittyanganadanceacademy I agree 👍
Eventhough if we replaced the display green line will occur again bcoz the problem is from the flex cable not the display. Now OnePlus offering lifetime free replacement for green line issue and they stopped using Samsung amoled display and switched to BOE amoled display in their upcoming flagship mobile so its better move to oneplus brother. If you well adopted to samsung then just make your phone not to be heat by using flight mode whenever you wont use your phone hopefully Samsung will fix their upcoming mobiles
I keep my phone on flight mode when charging and try not to use it... The screen heat plus the charging heat is really a bad combination
Same thing occurred with my S21+, just about a week or two after update to Android 14 in December.
@@CirphrankGG they had free screen replacements back in April.
@@butimjeremy I'm in Nigeria, they denied me free replacement. I was using the snapdragon version from US, and was asked to take it back to a shop in the place of purchase to get a free replacement.
Those were really frustrating times, I endured it from late December till mid March, I eventually sold it as a scrap piece to a phone repairer and bought s20 FE 5G.
I haven't had issue with this one, but I think that's because this one hasn't been getting any recent updates.

@@swarooppabbineedi1820 welcome
TH-camrs like you are changing the game 👍
Ah yes! Thank you 👍
If it's a software issue it should affect everybody who has updated the software but that's definitely not the case. I have been using the s21 fe exynos version since 3 yrs and have never had any issue as such. The green line issue might occur due to hardware damage that might have been caused due to overheating while you might have updated. Not sure if you had removed the case while you updated your phone. Updates are really heavy and put up a lot of stress on that exynos chip and a case just worsens the situation as the heat is not able to dissipate due to the non conductive material.
Anyway, this is just my opinion. At the end of the day the issue might have occurred due to the overheating chip which is really not a consumer's fault.
Yes! I heard about the overheating problem during updates. All my phone updates are done with the phone cover removed and the AC switched on with the phone elevated to let some cold air get around the phone. Despite all of this the phone did get the line.
Come on we are in 2024 and you think updating a phone with a case on will cause green line issues??🙆🏾
Moreover the June month update was not a heavy one, it was just around 250mb as it is a security patch ONLY!
@@pauldundigalla Are you even aware that overheating is a major reason for display damage? And that happens because heat damages the pixels above?
@@aritranath138 Yes I'm very much aware of that, but phones are no longer over heating like they used to 7-8yrs back, I owned a redmi note 3 which used to overheat and its back was no less than iron box, now the tech has improved & cooling mechanisms are induced into chipsets & panels.
Heating may be one of the reason for green line, but core reason is something else. Many corporate employees who spend most of their day in office AC also have faced green line issues on their devices.
Good that you posted a video on this. Best solution is gathering the victims and filing the legal suit against samsung irrespective of its model of year of purchase date if they deny to service it for free, infact they need to pay a compensation even after the free replacement for the days we left without that phone. Also give the assurance that it won't repeat again and if repeats then free replacement again. And the losses due to absence differs person to person, they can add all kind of expense and file the suit for the time been wasted by Samsung. Let them be Genuine. If not consumers must stay united and make a lesson to samsung and other OEMs as well proactively, so that every updates will be well tested before it's release to public mass. Else other OEMs will tend to do the same to lure public money, think of of some one who buy only a phone of cost 10k worth with loan and his condition to fore go such OEM faults. Things to be empathised from the shoes of worst affected victims.

@@butimjeremy yes so i cannot get replacement my s21 ultra screen
@@Leeninja_ff you'll have to raise a official complaint
Same problem with OnePlus. The good part is OnePlus is replacing the display for free and have also given a free screen replacement offer to all it's affected users which is valid till 2029. The only issue is that the green line is a recurring problem. I changed my display a month back for the second time.
Yes! OnePlus is doing this.
My s21fe has green line issue,but my phone has minor dent by quoting dent reason they denied to change the display
Yeah they do that! A small scratch and they deny the replacement.
same issue happened with me after I updated my s21 in april and after visiting service centre they said me the same thing that I have to pay 14k for repair.
Free screen replacement till the end of September for the S21FE
Exynos or SD?

Don't Know How Many Days I Can Use It?? So Attached To This Mobile,Since Got It As Gift From My Husband.. Now My Husband Is Thinking Of Gifting Me 1 As Anniversary Gift.. But Getting Worried About What Kind Of Phone I Will Get.. Will It Be A Good 1 Or You Can Face The Same Problem?? As Many Peoples Are Facing That Problem In New Phone Also!!! Is It A Bug By Samsung????? Which Phone Is The Best To Use As Long Lasting 1???? How Can This Line Problem Be Solved Forever Genuinely????
The problem is not limited to Samsung, but it is happening to Amoled displays. So if your next phone has a IPS LCD then it should be fine. I would suggest to get a phone thats been around for a while and check the web for any information about screen lines.
@@butimjeremysay oled displays,,,it's happening in so many motorola phones,,,😅😅😅
Samsung should start including other device costs in the brochure in this case.
"Post sale, out-of-warranty charges:
- Rs 236 to raise a complaint.
- 10% to be paid by the customer for our software goof up."
😂
Also, the video is very informative. ❤
Yeah! The process I went through is not available for the general public, so many people just give up and pay the full price.
@@butimjeremy 🥲
Bro
After you replaced screen, again got any issues? I hear lot of people facing green line issue again. They saying it's manufacturing issue.
I haven't seen any issues yet! My screen was changed end of June.
@butimjeremy I'm from Malaysia bro, using exynos version. 2 weeks before I replaced my display at local shop. My case starts from Jan 2023, I fight till end(starts with 1 green line ends with 20+lines) In Malaysia no free replacement. Finally I replaced at local shop. But original display with frame. But I'm still with fear.
@@Haq05 I haven't read any comments from people getting he lines after replacement. Just make sure the phone runs cool during updates.
@@butimjeremy thanks 😊 bro
I got the same issue today, dont know what to do.
If it's I'm warranty get it fixed! Otherwise raise a complaint.
@@butimjeremyi bought it from flipkart so will i be eligible to get warranty from my local samsung service center if it's still under warranty, and how long is the warranty from the date of purchase
My s21 fe display got a white line after the November update with no physical damage. Is the screen replacement program still going on?
Yes! Till end of December. Check out my video on that topic! It's on my channel
I had the same problem. After lodging a complaint in consumer forum, they agreed to my request of free replacement. But now the problem is it's been a week since I submitted my phone to service centre and they are saying the Company still hasn't approved it.
The approval should have come to the service centre manager directly from Delhi.
Do you get your screen changed free after approval???
Pls reply
I just submitted my s21 fe today for approval
Please elaborate how you complained to Consumer forum.. that would be very helpful.
@@1583Harsh I called them up and explained the problem. I told them I had videos of before and after. I also explained that many S21FEs have this problem and it can't be me alone.
I got green line issue in my s22 ultra after software update. Samsung service center executive dint relace screen. Worst experience by samsung service center.
Why? What was the reason?
I updated my s21 fe on 27 aug.. didn't face green line issue..
Same here! Keep monitoring tho
Bro mine s21 fe exynos variant is 2023 year of manufacture does green line occurs for me?
It's happening to people who got the November 2023 SD 888 ! So yes
@@butimjeremy 1 month warranty remaining 🙂🙃
@@butimjeremy updated to latest version 6.1 no issues after
@@AntonySeb75588 it's okay ! Check the pinned comment if you have any issues.
I got the screen replacement for around 500 rupees plus a 240 - 250 something to grab the job sheet.
The price you paid was low compared tovwhat I payed. Is your phone on warranty?
@@butimjeremy nop. 1 and half year old. Actually when the service executive contacted me they said the discounted price will be around 2k. But service center said it won't be cost that much and the final approved rate was 500.
I've recently got two lines after update. I'm worried that all this happened so late for me I feel left behind. Someone can confirm is there a chance to get the replacement now? As someone from Chennai got it done 3 weeks ago I hope I can.
The Policy has been extended!
@butimjeremy I've got to know there are lots of TnC. I fear I lost original bill. what now?
@@pranavkumar2008 Original bill & Box is needed. Missing any of the above, they will not replace it free of cost.
Snapdragon or Exynos processor on your phone?
@@hashtagzonebd1303 Exynos 2100
Same thing happened with my phone ,they didn't give any replacement for the screen.
You have to be behind them all the time! I spent alot of time talking to them and putting my case ahead.
I'm using S21 FE since may 2022, now I'm afraid to update it with monthly security patches! 😕
I have the same fear!
i got the white line on my samsung m51 while using.. its been a while since it go last update (1 to 1.5 months may be)
all i could point out for this issue would be charging.. while charging sometimes my mobile gets heat every once in a while.. i dont play heavy games too.. so i can confirm that my phone either get heated up rarely when i keep charging or when i use mobile internet.. that is also rarely
i never dropped, water damaged, etc..
bought it in jan 2021..so there's no chance of warranty.
original amoled display price 9000rs😢
and lcd is around 3500rs
please help me.. will samsung service provide free exchange ? but i didnt record before and after videos as it came out of nowhere 1 month after update.
also i want to know if they remove my entire data if i replace the screen ?? so i need to backup.
The point you made about heat is true! Less heat helps the phone and battery last longer. There is a co relation between heat and the screen like issue, although is not proven.
I don't know if samsung has any screen replacement policy for this phone. No data is lost when they change the screen.
@@butimjeremy i have been checking youtube and twitter comments/ tweets.. say starting from this october atleast i saw around 400 complaints.. it is happening to everyone s series, m series.. how come most ppl get exactly 1 white line on the middle of screen ? i saw so msny pictures on twitter .. its definitely update mismatch voltage fault.. for costly mobiles s series there is special care and attention.. like you said i wonder if they care and give free display replacement for m series.. most of m series pictures also had same problem as mine.. 1 thick bright white line in middle of screen.. few ppl got at the edges..
luckily my friends phone didn't get any such green line issue but he has already an another issue of Samsungs Shit (5g) network reception coz of Exynos chip
I don't use 5G, so I can't comment on that. But the 4G works very well.
@@butimjeremy maybe in future if u start using 5g you will get to know
Something is wrong with their OLED screens. This is not new, old devices such as S9 plus experienced it. My guess is it’s plan obsolescence through hardware and software.
Okay! But then this is happening way to quickly for it to be planned obsolescence
@@butimjeremy I mean idk with it being "quickly". Have you heard of Samsung technicians cutting TV Monitors to void warranties? Yeah... so this whole thing... it's not impossible.
Companies will do anything for revenue. This drive is exacerbated during and after Covid. Don't forget what Apple did in the past, it was way worse than this. Samsung too can do something if they want to.
@@Maple_Tachibana If planned obsolescence was the game plan then they wouldn't offer 2 rounds of screen replacements. It seems to be the screens made by Samsung and being used by other manufacturers as well. That's why some brands moved to LG sceeens.
My m52 5g also same green line issue
Then I visited service centre they tell cost for screen replace 7500 rupees.
I raised complain to services head they
Said samsung test each and every upadate before it's pushed out for samsung user and refuse to free screen replacement.
Me I'm update android 14 android 6.1 ui i don't experience that issue
It will come soon. I got 1month later
@@Wind-chill-24 Wait and see! Also it depends on which update or which security patch. Update on the comment section after a month.
Exynos?@@kingfisher258
You are lucky
Same problem bro... it happened after new update.. can i get free screen replacement? It aslo have a little crack on back glass...
@@GurpreetSingh-gt5nr They might say that it's physical damage and not give the screen replacement. A paid new screen costs 13K approximately
Was your phone powered by Snapdragon 888 or Exynos processor?
Mine is Exynos
Most of the servis center not avaleable the basic part to reapere phone and solved the Costomer problem like charging sub board. Some samsung phone issue after 2year's ,18 months
Part availability seems to be location related problem. Here in mumbai the part was available after 2 days or ordering it.
Umm bro can you confirm one thing that this green line issue come when samsung phone over heats or after a software update.
Because I today only updated the software. ONE UI 6.1
I have a budget phone (A14 5G)
The real reason is not confirmed by Samsung, but heat does play a role.
Greenline on my galaxy ultra 21 phone ,after software update...
But service center refuse repair..
They asked rs.21000 for repair charges...
What can i do???
Pl guide..
The free replacement for the S21 series ended in April. Still you raise a complaint as see if you can get a discount.
Hello sir, same problem for my Samsung M52 5g mobile, but they said u have to charge for display, my mobile also don't have any physical damages.
In my case I had video proof, also they treat the S series differently because that parts are different.
