Galaxy S7 Edge Pink Line Fault Explained! 

Who else is watching this with a pink line on there S7edge?

I think that the theory with the heat is correct. My pink line appeared after I accidently left my phone in the car on a summer day for a half an hour.

Swear to god I've just clicked onto this video and my pink line has vanished! Hahaaa. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you get a app that uses almost 100% of your cpu cores and it heats up the glue gets loose and you get the pink line. What I did to fix was get a phone heater app off of the play stored set it to highest cpu usage let the temps rise and put a soft rubber clamp on top right of phone screen squeeze it enough that it doesn't break but enough that the pink line fades then turn the phone off let it cool down. Take the clamp off and the glue must have gone back into place enough that u haven't had a problem since.

I was getting over my anger with this pink line issue since I went out and spent another 550 dollars on the the new HTC U11 after only having the Samsung for a little over a year. How does Samsung get away with putting out a Faulty product??? They should step up and replace them all. It cost me close to 400 to fix the screen, only to have the issue start up again 4 months later. People who fixed it only gave me a 90 day warranty so also got screwed by them.....lol. Crazy.

This guy is so underrated

I used my s7 edge for a year, when this happened. My phone company changed entire screen for free. Now i have used my phone for another year without a problem.

Got the snapdragon s7 edge for a year and a few months (got it september 26 2016) and so far have dropped it a few but no cracks or lines of any sort

OK, so after 2 years, the pink line appeared on my s7 edge.... when you mentioned the ribbon cable I had an idea and started pressing down on the screen at the top, slightly to the left and a bit under the selfie camera and tadaaam! The pink line disappeared completely... when I let go it came back but this gave me an idea... somehow keep the screen pressed with a clip of some sort and heat up the phone to have the glue soften... hopefully this DIY fix will work fine :D Nice vid by the way! keep it up!

This just started to happen on my S7edge. Bought on contract through EE in 2017 and you guessed it - 25 months later- a problem occurs - it is the British way. I got what looked like a one pixel wide pink line down the right hand side of the screen as seen in other phones. I watched a few videos on here and tried cycling through the RGB screens as shown in this and other videos - no luck. What did work was squeezing the phone. A few videos show people tearing the phone down to insert a piece of cardboard or plastic to push down on the loose glue. I noticed that this area is roughly behind the speaker/Samsung logo at the top/front of the phone. So, with the screen on, I squeezed in this area and the line disappeared. I assume that I have pressed down on the loose glue/cable/whatever and have pushed it back in place. We'll see when it reappears huh? Worth a try? YMMV.

Man you deserve more subs

On the S7 Edge, the pink line runs down the right side. On the S7, it runs down the center

Pink line and battery deterioration is my problem. Brand new, the battery life was amazing for the first 6 months.

I've had my S7 edge since they came out, about two years ago, and have not had any hardware or display issues at all. I do keep it in a case and monitor the battery charging current, voltage and temperature and don't let it operate at high temperatures.

Thanks a lot! Not only you do quality vids, but apparently you care about your subscriber's concerns. I wish you the best!

You cant just reglue the ribbon cable. Its called ACF glue which is a thermally applied conductive bonding strip. My suspicion is that samsung stressed the boundaries of low working temps in order to make aftermarket repair more difficult. Basically, if you get the ribbon cable lcd around 60c then the glue (reminder: which uses microscopic electrical bonding agents inside the glue that have to be aligned properly using a $2000+ for it to work) will soften and the ribbon will adjust further out wack then it was. In my testing, if you go above 80c then you risk debonding the entire strip, at which point you will have earned yourself a blank black screen. In my opinion this was a failed planned obsolescence. Samsung wantef to make edge glass unrepairable in the aftermarket. Bit them in butt when it started happening from normal use. I say this because traditional ACF should have a bonding temp well over 100c, but this stuff is failing at ultralow temp... Seems a bit shady to me, but thats my opinion. Youll have to form your own. Long story short Manufacturers want to control the lifecycle of your phone and they prefer/need you to buy a new one every year. New tech in cellphones has slowed way down, so their only route left is planned obsolescence. If that makes you angry then go sign up for right2repair.

I had the same problem with my S6 Edge. I had it fixed twice by Samsung for free. They refused to fix it a 3rd time because I was out of warranty by that time (even though it was a recurring problem). Samsung customer service is really bad!!!

Don't want an explaination...I want a quick fix

Proper info: It's the same thing as with TV panels, the COF bonding between the flex cable and the panel get's loose and than you get lines. You can't repair such a problem at home because you need special equipment for re-bonding the flex and also mainly are repaired TV's with such a problem and not Phones. Some more info: Samsung is a bad company when it comes to Oled and Plasma TV's, their LCD's have the least problems. Their Oled panels have from the begining problems like dead pixels, lines and burn-in. Plasma panels were good till 2009 from that time on till end of production in 2014 the panels had many problems with vertical lines caused by dead IC controllers that were bonded with panel's flex cable, dead Y-sus and X-sus boards, dead power boards etc. LCD's are easy fixable because there are more or less only two boards in a new TV, the panels itself aren't that bad but mainly cheap components on those boards (like cheap capacitors that they've used in the past)...

Happens with S7 active, as well.

Most of the phones with oleds screen is having this issue, the Galaxy S6 Edge, the Galaxy S7 Edge, the Galaxy S7 active, Google pixel, iPhone x

I bought my S7 Active in July 2016 and it;s having the pink line on the right side of the screen too. It was not dropped and I've had it in a case (Poetic) it's whole life. It developed after having it in my pocket. I think the problem is related to a combination of heat and body flex.

Hello, I had this issue today and the resetting of the colour settings did not work for me. What DID work was gently pressing on the top bezel of the phone in various spots....magic...lines are gone. Apparently, that was all that was necessary to reset the glue. I saw it on another video addressing this issue but this video explains the issue very well.

Hay, lighting /glasses problem fixed. Good work. Purple backlight and whiteboard is good. Gives you a purple glow. Excellent explanation and presentation. Framing is just right.

just went to a shopping mall known for phone repairs and all the stores singing the same tune, "broken LCD, needs replacement 300 bucks". it was kinda annoying; might just risk fixing it myself.

Always watching youtube with my lovely pink line s7 edge 😖

I've had the pink line on my s7 edge for the last week. After applying a bit of pressure by gently pinching the front and back of the phone near the top of the pink line (for me near the front camera) it disappeared and hasn't come back yet. Indicates to me a physical problem like the ribbon cable described. Resetting rgb from *#0*# did nothing.

intially resetting pixels did the job. but now its not going. apparently pressing the phone near the top of the display solved the issue temporarily for me. just try pressing close to the screen and the sensors, you may find the sweet spot and suddenly you will notice that the line disappears

S7 flat gets the blue line on the right side, my uncle and me both have s7 flats mines is a snapdragon his is a exynos his got the line when he dropped it,mines did not so far

I bought my S7 Active on eBay. I purposefully looked for one with a cracked screen and no pink line, since if it was going to get the line, my theory was that it would have already happened when the screen was damaged. As soon as I got the phone, I factory reset it, and the pink line appeared immediately :( This is why I think it is a software issue and why the RGB recalibration fixes it for some people. Samsung should be forced to recall and repair these defective phones.

If you press top right corner line will fade away untill remove our finger

I have a pink a massive pink line and im starting to get a green line down the middle of my phone... IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!

I've noticed if you pressed on the Samsung logo right above your screen the line disappears, but reappears when pressure is relieved

the heating solution is a double edged sword. I left my phone in the car on the beach, when i got back it was extremely heated up, and since then the line became consistent on the sceeen and thicker

if the pink is not a line but covers areas (very light pink) what is the case?

Hi. My Samsung Galaxy s6 edge has a flickering problem. I was watching a video and it suddenly went black and it had about 10% battery life. I try to turn it on but on the upper third of the black screen flickers. It vibrates for when it charges and gets unplugged. I can't turn it on. I press the home key and it starts to flicker but when I press the power key it stops. I have tried to put it on safe mode and tried to force stop but I doesn't budge. If anyone has a fix or a solution, plz reply soon.

Motorola is the only popular phone brand that never had any problem. SMHHH

I am here for the darn pink line. I have had this phone since 2016 and it is immaculate and I love it, so I really want it fixed.

Ohh god thank you. They're was a very thin, dull pink line which appeared on its on. I was literally gonna cry cause I bought that phone from saving my own pocket money. But reseting the RGB for around 8-10 times solved the problem. Thank you sooo much 😊

They made it so u have to buy a new phone ...

I downloaded Pixel Fixer from Google Play Store per an online recommendation and ran it for about 40 minutes then exited out and the pink line on my S7 Edge is gone!!! Just did it so not sure how long it will last or if it's a Permanent fix. If you try and it works for you, plz give this post a like and comment. Also comment if it doesn't work as I want to see how many are successful.

I have been talking to Samsung about this and all I get is its out of warranty so they want to charge me, they don't seem to care that its there fault

too much talk and no solution

it is Hapeend to my s6 edge also

also happens to the s7 active. My first one got the pink line soon after buying. Samsund replaced it ,and the second one did the same thing after about 3 months of use.

I want to buy this phone in 2018, because people say that it's still worth buying. I think this "pink line" issue is common for the S7 edge/active, but i don't know much. So, my question is: Can regular S7 get this "pink line" issue?

Got this line last week! Samsung must do something about it!

the pink line on the galaxy, does it continues to spread on the screen ???

Had a thin pink line show up tonight. Pushed on the upper right hand of the phone near the front camera slightly and the line went away luckily. Must be the loose ribbon connection etc instead of software in my case. Hopefully stays gone. Even a thin line is majorly annoying. Def dont want to deal with blow drying and disassembly for the plastic card insert fix, but it's out there and free to diy at least

I baught a cheap shock proof case a week ago and today I notice this happens to my s7 edge. The pink line goes on and off when I apply some pressure to the top part of the screen where the speaker and samsung logo are located. So my guess is it must have something to do with the ribbon cable. Thanks for info

It happened to my s7 pink line down right side of screen after 3 months of use in 2016. I did notice that when you pressed the top part of the screen the line would disappear but not for long so I do think it was a loose connection. Samsung replaced the screen no questions asked. They told me that it was a faulty screen and nothing that I've done to it

It took me 3 years of abusive use to get that pink line tho my friend got it like 8 months after he got it even tho I use mine more. Its just so weird and happens unconditionally

Theres a pink line on my s8 plus . I dont know why . Plus theres a minor dot too. I wanna know if its thickness would increase or not?

Hey, when it clicked and you realized you abused the heck out of your phone I loled so hard! Ive been working for cellphone providers for almost 8 years seeing your face was priceless I hope you don't do that to a phone you own anymore.

i have the pink line for more than 6 month and it mess with the way u handle calls, when you answer a call and the screen turn black, it can become unresponsive and can only be responsive again when u end the call and press the power button, you have to have always on display turn on because it is impossible to have your phone turn back on.

Will they cover it if it's out of warranty but there is no damage?

It happen to my s6 edge and my step brothers s7 not sdge and now it happen to my other s6 edge in the middle the screen

Do we know if Samsung have addressed the problem on their newer phones?

I dropped this phone and two lines popped up, one on the curve and another on the right hand side. Extreamly annoying.

im so fucking PISSED. $800 for a shit phone with a giant pink line across my phone. never buying another samsung ever again.

So theoretically it is most often that the ribon cable that caues the connection which is the same kind of concept that the TV's have when the cable is not plugged in appropriatly the picture is worse

I have to laugh at some of the comments the issue is with display cable coming loose the phone dial issue will not fix issue if ribbon cable came loose. I worked 9 years Dell technical support, laptop screens get the same issue it's usually hardware problem

This just happened on my S7 edge this morning. Applying some light pressure to the top right side of the screen seems to fix it temporarily. My phone isn't even a year old and never been dropped.

I dropped my phone once earlier in the year and it got dead pixels in the upper left corner. Then a few months later, this popped up which sounds like a hardware issue that I can't get fixed because of the dead pixels at the top of the screen and I only dropped it once from the bed in the entire year that I've owned. It's bullshit and this is honestly what's making me wonder if the phone is even worth keeping anymore. I might just go to LG or Nokia from now on.

Bought an S7 active real cheap because it has the line. Is it going to get worse over time?

ive had an s7 for seven years this year great phone all i need but still battery still as good as when i got it but this pink line annoys the crap out of me

I have bought this phone from USA but I am using it in INDIA and facing this issue. I dont have my bill available. Do samsung service center will still help me to fix it?

Sorry I have not an s7e I have an s4 although I like to watch your videos, I feel honestly in you!!

This happens when you charge the phone to fast....i understand we can't control it...but cheap plugs and wires...make the phone heat too much...not fixable

My S7 Edge heats up pretty badly while using with Gear VR. Will try heat and pressure during that time !!

What is that ribbon on his right hand?

I just read in the comments that someone rubbed their finger underneath where it says Samsung and it went away so I tried it and it actually worked on mine , no BS it did but I may read comments from another video but whoever sees this, try it

This thing happened in my a50. A white line though.

Makes it easier to sell the new phones when these "old" ones have a lifespan of two years or thereabouts. The nonreplaceable batteries further suggests the planned obsolesence strategy.

That doesn't happen on the regular s7... Instead the amoled cracks and makes the phone completely impossible to use lmao

I was thinking about buying an s7 edge, I'm having second thoughts

At that time, i should brought ip6s ratter than s7 edge because my friend who brought ip6s at the same time, today his ip6s still work without any screen problem he just replaced battery for 2-3 times

Thank you Mr. You have amazing and appealing way to teach

hey guys i fixed the problem while watching this..all i did was apply a lil bit of pressure to the top part of my screen above the pink line and now its gone, i have a Samsung GalaxyS7 edge

I am losing my faith on samsung, they need to do something about it, its gonna be a big problem now.

I have pink line

I have an s7 active. It has a pink line on the right side. At first I could fix it for a few hours by resetting the RGB. But that doesn't work anymore. Now it's always that way except in the youtube app?! 😂 Pink line is there in Netflix and every other app or on the home screen

S7 edge just wants to b Cyborg, nuff said. 😂

I have the line, appeared after a year.

The pink line on my phone was a sad moment for my s7 edge 😂

honestly for meit's not that much of a deal because mine has the pink line and it doesn't really bother me that much

It will disappear if you put the brightness to the lowest but it will comeback sometimes

FIXED IT !!!! So i have checked some Indian guy video and the way he fixed it it was when you write the code push on Red and push the top of the phone near the camera, then switch all the lights ( red, Green, Blue) and try pushing gently and it worked for me...Probably something with connection and so on...just try it!!!!!!!!!

This happened to my Iphone X except my phone is in perfect condition. And apple wants me to pay $279 to fix it. Ridiculous when this is not my fault at all

I understand you cause you explain all.... Thank you God Bless

I have this problem, it doesnt bother me unless I know it wont get worse

Press and hold the camera to the right of the ear piece.. the line vanishes. Not sure for how long but it has gone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (The oldest version) and it also has a pink line on the left side of the screen. :(

It happened to my active.

My s8 has this on the far left and my screen flickers white when it appears

All i did was change my wallpaper to a different wallpaper and change back to the same wallpaper and its gone

Does the samsung tab s 10.1 have this secret menu?

It's a really really Shameful fault by Samsung that is not taking seriously. It is a Flagship Mobile but things are not going well.

As I was watching this video I applied pressure towards the top and bottom and it blinked as I changed the amount of pressure then went away. It will probably come back and go

Im watching on a no pink line s7
