Screen fade/ lines down the screen

Jimmy_rat — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 18:05:19 GMT

Z5 premium.

Has anybody else experienced really bad lines forming down the screen?

Started a few weeks ago on the right hand side. Now start to form after a few seconds over the whole screen. Like a really bad screen fade.

The few down the side were bearable although, after only 6 months, they shouldnt be there! But now it's so annoying. Gonna have to book a warranty fix.

Really loved the phone at the start. Now falling out with it. Shame cos my Samsung Note was ace! Getting hot, battery mysteriously dying really quickly and now the screen!

It's better to get it inspected by your Local support

Why? Rather than send for repair? Its an obvious fault. The screen shouldn't be doing that.

This is a user based forum, so there's not much anyone can do here to help you as it might be hardware related.

You can narrow down the issue, repair the phone with XC if you experience the same issue then it might be a hardware issue, you can also take a screenshot > transfer the picture to your computer or another phone > if you don't see the lines then it's a hardware issue.

Cheers. Tried that already. Definitely a hardware issue.
