If you are one of the lucky ones who can afford to buy a Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus and you are worried the red screen problem How much is giving to talk in recent days, that you know that according to Samsung itself confirmed, this is not in any case a problem or hardware defect but rather it is a simple configuration problem that is easily solved by entering the Android settings.
Although I am not in favor of purchasing this new Samsung terminal no matter how nice it may seem to me, and as I explain in this other article, I personally believe that it is time to buy a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge at a very low price. good price, below I explain why these mysterious red screens of some Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus as well as the way to fix the problem from the settings of both terminals.
Why the red screens of some Samsung Galaxy S8?
According to a recent statement from the Korean multinational itself, the so-called problems of the red screens of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, They are not problems in themselves but they are a special feature of these screens with SuperAMOLED technology that Samsung has been mounting on its Android terminals for quite some time.
So this "Supposed" reddish tint problem on the screens of some Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, It is a problem that occurs in the screen configuration when the adaptive mode is selected, a screen mode specially designed for these screens with SuperAMOLED technology, which is responsible for literally adapting the tone of the screen according to the environment in which we are using our Smartphone at all times.
Although To me personally, as a user of a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, this explanation from Samsung seems somewhat elusive. Since my Samsung does not present that tinted red when I enable the adaptive screen option from the terminal screen settings, you have to give it the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what the users think or comment on the forums. have been affected by this red screen problem in some Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and it should be remembered that we are talking about a terminal that has gone on sale with a starting price that its simplest model exceeds the 800 Euros for sale to the public.
By this I mean that, with the price at which they are selling these high-tech products, there is no room or there should be no room for these alleged failures or bad system configurations.
Terminals at these luxury prices would have to go on sale in perfect magazine condition, having passed a good quality control and ready to be used normally without having to search and enter the system configurations to fix what is undoubtedly a bad configuration or malfunction of these screens affected by the problem of the reddish tint.
How To Fix Samsung Galaxy S8 Red Screen Problem According To Samsung
If you are lucky or unfortunate in this case, that after spending a good amount of money for your Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus you have received this red screen problem that looks like it was taken straight from the depths of hell, Rest assured that according to Samsung itself has explained, this is not a problem in itself since it is solved by entering the Android settings, going to the section of Screen, screen mode, color balance, and disable adaptive screen mode to select screen hue manually.
If this is actually fixed in this way, which I will not doubt at all since I do not have the luck or misfortune to own a Samsung Galaxy S8 to test it personally, my question is: What is this adaptive mode for, which in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus is clearly not working well?.
I am suspicious of series and always put myself in the worst of situations,and more with Samsung's background and his recent problems and not so recent!, I think these Koreans want to give us one more time with cheese and this is nothing more than long to hide what I undoubtedly believe and I bet it is again a serious problem or shit that they want to hide at all costs making us manually adjust the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
Anyway, you know that if you are going to buy, you have thought of buying or have bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus, which Even if it has an adaptive screen mode, this mode is worthless Since to solve this problem of the red screen, this in the case that your Samsung Galaxy S8 suffers from this problem, you are going to have to adjust the screen tones manually.
What is more, Francisco, from what I have been able to read in other media, by manually regulating the intensity of red to balance the final color temperature, since each subpixel emits a certain amount of light that results in the total, the screen It loses shine (eye !!!) what has motivated, it seems, that they are changing terminals in the face of the discontent generated to avoid major problems ... I do not know why it hits my nose that this will bring a tail. I am convinced that not too late you will bring us news about this - let's say - "redgate". Greetings
Stop fucking around! New smartphone and already have problems?
Like everything that is new, the first batches always have some detail
Let's be careful friends, that of the pink screen happened to the HTC m7, remember at the end of the factory I accept that it was from the factory and it could not be solved .. hopefully it happens later before spending on this equipment ..!
What you said is not true. Well almost…
The reddish or yellowish illumination that comes out on the screen of the s8 or s8plus is not a fault (I know it first hand because I have it). Nor is the screen mode «adaptive display», it is an option found in «settings / screen / blue light filter», unchecking this option turns the screen into bright white. What is this option for? Well, reduce the amount of blue light to avoid eye fatigue.
This option also has the iPhone (my partner has the iPhone7s plus), and it also has a yellowish or reddish screen. So for those who buy the s8 or s8plus tell them that it is Great, impressive quality and a lot of fluidity. In short, nothing to envy.
Hi, I have the S6 and the screen just turned red. I disabled the adaptive mode and it remains the same; I looked for the blue light filter and that option does not have this model.
What if from time to time the normal light returns but immediately turns red, the software was updated in April and I cannot update it again.
It reassures me that it is not a problem as such with the cell phone, that is, it is getting damaged but that red screen is uncomfortable.
What do you suggest to me? Will I wait for a new update or take it to technical service? Thanks
Hi Mauxi.
I've heard about the red or black line, but not about the red screen on the s6 or s7. Perhaps it could be either a problem from the latest update or a software problem. I advise you to go to the official Samsung technical service and they review the failure because it may be a terminal failure. If I find a solution to the problem, I will let you know.
A greeting.
I have a galaxy s8 + and I can say that it is not a software problem. I have already 2 returns for pink screen problems, and not only is that, but there are some areas of the screen that have a color tint, in the first terminal there was a brown cone tint at the bottom, in this new one the tint is pink. It's a bigger problem than it seems and on a grand scale. I took my terminal to compare it with the samples from the Media Markt of my city in Valencia, and 7 out of 8 terminals had the pink defect to a greater or lesser extent. The only one that had no fault was an S8 and it looked totally different, as if it had been made by another display company, and that one did look perfect. Therefore we are facing a full-fledged REDGATE that throws all the supposed quality controls of Samsung to the ground after the failed Note 7. They continue to do things very badly by what it seems. I will return this last S8 and I will wait 1 month or 2 to see if the problem has been solved. Good luck to you who buy it
Hello. Thank you for responding to my concern. I tell you that right now in the day I have the screen fine, with the light it should be; at night I will see if it turns red, if so, then it is a mechanism to call it so the cell phone has to distinguish if it is day or night and the light does not affect the eyes, since it is known that light Blue as they call it is harmful when going to sleep and creates fatigue, discomfort when sleeping, among other things, perhaps that is why the light turns red to lower the intensity and we do not tire our eyes, do not take away the dream, in short, does not affect us.
I check if it happens to me at night and tomorrow I write again, in the meantime this gives me peace of mind because if it was a cell phone problem I was going to get something hehehehe
Greetings!!! ?
Hello, I have a galaxy s7 and 3 months of use and the screen turned red, I would like to know if it is a major problem
Hello. Indeed the red screen was put on at night and today in the morning the light is normal.
Anyway I'm going to go to a technical service to ask.
regards
Well, if we already started so badly bad, I go for the third S7 edge damaged by the pink line on the screen and the Samsumg sat very bad, the last one they send me an SMS saying that they have not been able to contact me. Lie and fat, to this day they still have not called me.
I am on this roll of red screens, because my xperia computer is presenting the same case, a screen that intermittently changes from red to normal, regardless of the time of day.
