Hi, anyone's phone has a pink vertical line that appeared after the latest software update?
The line appeared suddenly on my phone right in the middle dividing the screen into 2 halves âšī¸ |

QUOTE(lambox105 @ Jun 15 2022, 09:14 PM) The only way to check this problem is to restore back previous firmware before update and check the screen I read that it is caused by the latest update. Could you be kind enough to guide how can I restore back tobthe previous version - before the latest update?If vertical line still exist, then is really screen (hardware) problem already  My phone is a s20+ |

Just pondering. Paying >RM3k for a phone that has display giving such problems within a span of <2 yrs seems to not work out. If the display replacement costs RM1k, I am thinking of buying a new phone but cheaper....maybe arornd RM1k. Any kind recommednations please?

S21FE 5G has a smaller screen - 6.4 vs 6.7 on the S20+. The display is the same if not wrong - Dynamic AMOLED. Hence, better decide with caution.....đ

QUOTE(lambox105 @ Jun 29 2022, 10:34 PM) The 'lines' are hardware related not software Yes, that is right. Looks like a software issue created it by virtue of the heat. It is irreversible unfortunately. Only thing that the firmware update did was to mitigate the heat. I noticed this after the update. Phone is a lot less hot vs before the update. |

With the broadbased roll out of 5G, would it still make sense to go for a 4G phone?
The prices are an indication of what is forthcoming. New sets are largely 5G while the older 4Gs prices are much lower. |

Having second thoughts about spending too much on a phone which may give me some verticle lines 2 yrs down the road đ
Will likely go for mid range RM2k or thereabouts phone. If any issues, can get another with much less heartache compared to the current S20+. Skewing to the A73 5G..... |

QUOTE(lambox105 @ Jul 6 2022, 09:45 PM) 4G not future proof Agreed. That was what I am alluding to. Does not make sense to get anything short of 5G at this juncture.Will be obsolete in no time unlike 5g models |
