Samsung Galaxy S4
From xda, several users are reporting screen problems of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S4. Problems with brightness and how at certain times the device automatically darkens and brightens, even after having disconnected the automatic brightness option or even the Energy Saving option.
As one Xda user suggests, inside the Snapdragon cpu, there is an option called "BRITE", who seems to work independently of the S4's own automatic brightness function, also contributing that we will have to wait for Samsung itself or an experienced dev to solve the problem, as happened in its day with the Tegra 3
Hopefully this recent problem, plus the strange purple colorations, ghosting and scrolling blur on the S4 screens, make Samsung get the batteries fast and put an immediate solution to these problems, since, in this race to be the best smartphone of the year, where the Htc One X, the Xperia Z and the Optimus G play, it is important that the majority of users remain happy and talk about the benefits of its newly acquired mobiles, ensuring that the S4 does not lose its well-achieved position due to its predecessors S2 and S3.
If some of you are having these same problems that Xda is reporting, tell us about them here.

that is not an s3 ... read the specifications welleeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss ...
I am concerned about so much publicity inducing to buy online cell phones. I was already ripped off in January 2011 with a nokia n8 and I lost 450 dollars!
I have the s3 and it has much better screen quality than the s4 I just bought. Only in the lyrics are those of the s3 much better defined. In addition, the colors are much more vivid on the s3, despite the fact that both are in the dynamic screen option. And I already went with the phone and there are models on display of the s4 that have the same deficiencies. To do
AHAHAHAHAH .. how it shows when they make up stories.
I am a user of an S3 and a few days ago I had the opportunity to compare it next to an S4. The truth is that visually, the S4 is impressive, both in colors, definition and brightness ... and that I found the screen of my S3 very good.
Well, this is also supported by the many comments from people who have REALLY had the 2 teams in their hands.
I have the same problems with the scrolling effect and the purple color. The funny thing is that they changed it to me at the store and they gave me one that was perfect. None of the above. And after 3 hours I will use it and ... surprise! The same flaws !! Why?!??!
Hello, two weeks ago I bought the S4 and I already had the problem of brightness, to solve it I had to restart it. The other frequent problem is having several applications running, it gets stuck. To wait if Samsung applies any improvement soon ...
Totally according to Niko Martin is disappointing, because the same thing has happened to me, it has already been 5 repairs, and my mobile is not even 12 months old. from sdamsung galaxy s4, and on top of that no one solves the problem for you
Well friends, I have an S4 10 days ago they gave it to me with my operator the cell phone is fabulous but today I had a big problem my screen stopped working out of nowhere the symptoms were first yellow screen then immediately it turned white and then black The cell phone works well, it receives calls, but the screen is biting. I don't know if anyone knows about that error that happened to me today.
Hello. The same thing happens to me, it is the second time that I have taken it to fix and it continues with the same problem, the first time they changed the screen and nothing and this one they say they do not see any fault that they have updated it and that it works correctly, no I have not been with him for 12 hours and he is the same again. The mobile is 5 months old and has been in repair for 2 months. they have solved the problem for you
No friend, I had to change the motherboard and I better choose to throw it in the trash and buy an HTC one that is going to be wonderful Samsung disappointed me with that famous s4 fails everywhere I recommend that you repair it and sell it and buy an iPhone or an HTC one like me and believe me you won't regret it
I have the s4 and those problems with the screen are really annoying, and if that were not enough I also have the problem with the headphones. He already threw it against the wall ,,, a complete disappointment, for the next time I will buy something with more reputation.
Hello, I have the s4 and it is giving me many problems and it has only been a month, the very slow processor crashes the play Store, every day it gets worse ... € 700 God for this.k sorry.
You can reset the factory data to try, and if you still have those problems, try contacting Samsung to fix it or change it for another.
The glitter thing happens to me too. I have deactivated the automatic brightness, the automatic tone mode and the energy saving, and it continues to auto-adjust at will, I notice it more using chrome.
I have had it for about two months and the changes in brightness (having disabled this option) are continuous. I thought it would be something physical but it "comforts" me to see that it is generalized and that it is supposed to solve
I have problems with the easy and standard startup mode since the easy mode starts automatically and I have to enter configurations several times to put it in standard again. What I do? Sos
Hello, how are you? I tell you I just bought a Galaxy S4 expecting many good expectations about it and it has happened to me that it is very slow for example: when I write messages differently than text, whatsaap, line or tango when writing it takes me up to 3 to 5 seconds for what I write to appear, as well as when entering an application or changing photos, the phone also receives the signal after about 3 to 5 seconds and it was not what I expected for having the best smartphone that has come out in the latter year
Hello, I have s4 already a year ago I have 2 annoying problems when I open crone and rotate the screen then I move it and it remains stuck being that I have auto rotation activated, something else the gallery stays stuck sometimes and the last thing the camera I put it in point and as I know It moves and it fixes itself again, but the dimmer disappears from the screen and I take the photo, the bad camera, before I had an s2 app, the mivia to the sd and had thousands of the camera, being 8, the better I put a zoom on it, it does not distort in the s4 buuuu all blurry
Did you get the sticker that comes in the back, on the camera lens? .. It is a plastic semicircle, which you must remove ..
Hello, mine is two weeks old and my diplay broke. Of course not even Samsung takes over and I did not drop it. Thanks
Help!!! I have the ghosting problem !! It is a purple spot that appears when going up or down using my finger
I have a s4 and it works great for me, for the performance issue they must deactivate many applications that already come in the cell phone pre-installed that the truth is not used, this will give them more speed, the more applications you have installed so do not use them it will take away performance
Hello, I have the s3 note2 and 2 months ago I bought the s4 and I had many problems How is the storage, the brightness of my screen and a few other details, so I decided to install a rom from Canada and after installing the rom I installed it on the computer and I updated it through kies and after this all my problems were solved my screen became clearer the applications and I can install them on my sd card and currently it is much better than my other 2 computers and to make it more fluid install nova launcher look for in you tube galaxyappsmx the video of how to rotate galaxy s4 and follow the steps as indicated after they finish the process update through Samsung kies and ready to enjoy our lucky team
I am noticing every day things that do not satisfy me about s4. I think the jump from s3 to this was not what was expected in several things. Anyway, I think that when I met the Samsung galaxy s line, I came to stay in it. It is not a minor thing to pass the information from one cell phone to another configuring the email account because everything is in the Google cloud.
LOOK I HAVE A GALAXY S4 BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACTIVATE THE ROTATION OF MY SCREEN IT IS ONLY KEDA HORIZONTALLY AND IT CANNOT ROTATE PLEASE AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION THANKS
I have the ghosting problem, I already returned two terminals and today they have given me the third one, I get home, I open it and more of the same ... tomorrow I'll change it and I don't want S4 anymore. I have the S2 and S3 but the S4 is a disappointment ... ..
Hello, I have the gal s4 for two weeks, I don't know what to do with it, I reset it to factory values twice and it keeps nailing, so it either sticks, and there it remains until I manage to turn it off, or it restarts every thirty minutes, in s3 he never made me and he's a year old
Hello, I just bought the s4 but I don't know why sometimes the signal goes out and I have to restart it and remove and put the chip back on, I would appreciate your answer
I do not regret having purchased my S4 but I have problems when rotating the screen takes much longer than expected (3-5 seconds), I hope there is a prompt solution
hello I just had a bad experience as s4 had it charging when I went to disconnect it appears with the black screen and a corner with colored stripes the call drops and it works but its screen is totally black and I only have 3 months
I have s4 with a phantom line where the time is on the home button, it is barely noticeable but now that I saw it, someone has easily noticed this symptom.
I have the same problem with the brightness of the screen... It is very annoying, even more so when you read an article... Solve it soon, we paid a lot of $$ for this mobile.
My Galaxy S4 is 4 months old. At times it hangs and once it started to overheat and I had to remove the battery since it was not responding.
Now the screen is all black, the phone works but I can't do anything since touch.
I sent it to the guarantee I hope they deliver it to me working correctly since it is a very expensive terminal for it to work badly.
Hello. I have had the same problem as you and it is the second time that I have sent it to repair and they still do not solve anything. I don't know if they have solved something for you?
Good, I thought that it also happened to me alone, but I see that it is a problem with the terminal itself, the constant blinking and without reason of the screen is very annoying, and I hope it can be solved with an update or something since it is It is true that it is a very expensive terminal to have problems
Good morning, I have deactivated the screen tone auto-adjustment (which is in settings / screen) which is what made the mobile blink when I wrote or turned the menu pages on the screen !!!!!!
I have an S4 that is about 6 months old, and I had the problem on the screen when I used everything normal and after a while I see the green and black screen flashing again, the strangest thing is that the touch still works even if it has so the screen, but the saddest thing that in my country (El Salvador) the company "Claro" wants me to pay the costs so that they supposedly repair it even though I have the guarantee when I haven't even looked at the phone wrong.
Hello. I have s4 with headphone and brightness issues. The automatic brightness is kept to a minimum. I have opted for manual brightness. The headphones are barely audible. I had a note.i it worked like a charm. I hope the problem is solved quickly.
Someone help me please, I purchased the galaxi s4 and I have a problem that I do not know if it is configuration but it is very annoying, it happens to me that when I am using it suddenly the screen goes black and the date and time comes out I have to shake it to k I came back and it is very annoying, please help me
I have been with My S4 for 4 months And I have no problem, it is fast, it does not get too hot, the battery lasts me And the processor works in the best way, the applications load quickly, I do not complain without a doubt if it is one of the best phones and I have an Iphone 5S 😀
Hello! I don't know if this has happened to someone! When I enter YouTube and place a video on a small screen, the screen turns green with lines and flickers, the video plays normal and the touch works but the whole screen turns like this! I have only 2 months with the s4 and it has been giving me this failure for 1 week. Will the software be new ??? HELPAAAA 🙁
I changed my iphone4 for the s4 and I regret it because after two days the screen fails at times it stays dark when I open the camera it restarts only I miss my iphone
I touch the screen on my s4 and it turns colors, now it is black, it turns on normal but nothing appears on the screen, it is only black and does not respond
FRIENDS, WHAT ABOUT CHANGING THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SCREEN IS NOT A SAMSUNG ERROR, It is the device software that thinks about your eyes ... the greater the exposure of light in the environment, the greater the brightness, the less the exposure of the light in the environment, the lower the brightness, of course This is that if you do not want this automatic adjustment you go to settings> screen> brightness and uncheck the automatic option and you square it to your liking without making it darken or brighter anywhere ... I was about to claim but fortunately I discovered this, I hope serve them. (The purple on the screen if you have no idea)
I got a green vertical line on my samsung s4, does anyone know the reason or have an idea of the cost to repair? I'm from Mexico .. Grace
@glenysbg I have the same problem as you. I saw a video on YouTube where they warm up the Mother and with that it is solved.
Mine began to turn the color screen and suddenly it goes black and from there it does not come out. applying a little pressure to the screen sometimes corrects but the problem is very constant. It's time to get the heat gun and test if that solves it.
someone who has happened something similar and has a solution about it?
I'm really disappointed in the brand once after the one-year warranty, my S4 has those annoying flashes and colored stripes on the screen. I'm thinking of leaving it solely as a remote control for the TV ... hopefully the manufacturer finds out about this manufacturing defect appears a few months after using the cell phone
I have the same problem as gerry vertical green line crossing the phone and I don't know how to solve it.
Hello, I have had a samsung galaxy s4 for 1 year and today a greenish yellow stripe appeared on the bottom edge of the screen, which at times flickers, and then stays still, I don't know how to get it out
In my case it was a driver who took off when I passed him the heat gun. I tape it down.
In the case of the strip, it is very likely that it is the display, although a photo would help a lot ...
They can try an app called burn display or something like that. This leaves the screen on by changing colors, sometimes it helps.
I have the same problem with the yellow-green line that tilita, I don't know what happens to my cell phone
Hello, I have a s4 mini with the same problem, my screen is divided into two, one clearer than the other, the black color looks pink and blue and the screen flickers, sometimes it is removed but sometimes it comes back, my computer has not received blows nor falls. Could someone help me with this problem?
I have had my samsung s4 for three months and everything is working fine suddenly after a minute it starts to blink for a while it turns green and turns off, it is almost always how long to turn off if someone knows what to do help me x fa! !
I changed the screen on my S4 and it crashed. It happens to me sometimes and I have to remove the battery to restart it.
