My screen flickers and goes blank when sunlight hits the view finder on the phone. In the house or shade it doesn't do that. I can even use a flash light and point it at the view finder and it flickers and the screen goes blank.

Does this happen if you turn off adaptive brightness in your settings?

Turning off adaptive brightness fixes the sunlight problem, but the screen will sometimes go black after waking the phone or exiting applications.

Thank you for that information. If you turn off adaptive brightness then test your phone in safe mode, do you still experience these same symptoms?

Same here. You can reproduce the issue in a dark room and shining a bright flash light on the screen.

Same issue here.  Just got the phone a month ago.  Software update was just done on Monday night.  Tuesday starting happening.  Called AT&T and they said I need to get in touch with Samsung as the have done everything to try to resolve it.  Ugghh...Help!

When is going to get fixed, it's really distracting when I'm trying to drive and use the GPS

I am having the same problem since the update the other day. I've had this phone only a month. 😡

I also noticed the finger print reader doesn't work when it's doing this.
