Weird bright white bar on the top of my screen

wisterial_x — Sat, 09 Nov 2024 21:19:18 GMT

Hii my phone has some kind of horizontal white bar which is aligned with the camera circle and it's only on the right side. I was wondering how to get rid of it? I got this phone a few days ago from my dad and apparently it appeared just a bit before I received it so I'm not sure where it came from..

Update : I'm back! for those who have the same issue, I've found out that the eye comfort shield function has helped with this issue so that it's no longer a solid white bar though it's still visible as a translucent black bar kind of? I hope this can help you guys out^^

@wisterial_x Typically these are caused by broken hardware. A device drop could cause something like this. Have you tried running any diagnostics in the Samsung Members app? Have you tried booting into safe mode?

Honestly I don't think it's a hardware malfunction, becaus ei have the exact same problem on the exact same part of the phone , it will be such a coincidence that we both drop the phone at the same angle, this question shouldn't be marked as answered as I believe there is more to check

This is not a hardware issue. This happened to my phone after the last update, and I treat my phone with exceptional care.

I'm having the exact same issue...and no, I didn't drop the phone. I had just plugged it into the charger, and this weird light popped up.

Has anyone found a fix?

I have the same issue and by the looks of it samsung don't seem to care enough to bring out an update to fix this issue

Samsung care ambassador has maked this as problem solved this issue is not solved and its a common problem. Very disappointing 😞

Hi All,

I am also facing the same issue, this issue is occurred due to the Samsung update and it should get fixed in next Samsung update.

For now, I have temporally fixed the issue via changing below setting.

Setting->Display->Motion smoothness->Standard (60hz).

I am facing issue in 120Hz, but no issue in 60Hz. Now waiting Samsung to fix this software issue

I just faced the same issue after re-charging my phone. I initially tried re-booting the phone. That did not work. Then I tried going into power saving mode - that made the bright white light band disappear. All this has happened within the last hour. I will report here if the band re-appears

Have the same issue....the band disappears only upon placing the phone in power saving mode. It re-appears in normal mode.
A software update just took place. No difference.

I also faced the same issue today. Now, I did drop my phone almost a year ago. Did the phone wait for almost a year to show this hardware problem? Maybe. Maybe not. But a recent software update happened yesterday. Either solution of changing motion smoothness to 'Standard' or power saving mode works. But still, upon unlocking the screen, the bright white bar is visible for a moment.

Any long term fix for this problem?

I got it too yesterday suddenly. I did reset the frequency to 60hdz but still any long term solution to this ?

Anyone got any feedback from sqmsung that this issue is caused by their software and not hardware?

I am not sure if it is worth to take a fight to get this fixed by samsung in view of hardware/software upgrades?
