Hello,

My phone just updated couple days ago, I think on 4/16, and since then I've been having issues with the screen giving a weird dull black when it goes into a dim mode or when the screen is switching between apps.

I noticed it heavily while watching a movie, at times the screen would be nice and crisp, but then it would go into this dull washed out mode.  

I've messed with all the brightness settings, adaptive brightness, motion smoothness, resetting cache, and a few other things.  I found these based off some searches about a green tint to the screen.

It does it in safe mode and also while the phone is booting up as its switching between the differnt logos that pop up(Samsung, ATT, back to Samsung, etc).

 

Love to hear if anyone has any other ideas to try.  I don't think there is hardware issue since it's too coincidental that it started happening right after this latest update.

Thanks for any input anyone may have

try to check your DIM Screen by press "*#0*#" on the dial pad..

Just checked and there didn't seem to be any dim options in that menu.  Interesting little debug menu though, thanks

Try turning off the "Extra dim" option under Accessibility. That worked for me.

Omg. I thought my phone was broken since I dropped it and it kinda got a tiny cracked at the corner. I thought that's what caused it but deep down I knew it was after the update
