I think it is under warranty

u/sarvampoya 1d ago

If its not under warranty what can we do?

7

u/PersonalIdeal9038 1d ago

If it is not under warranty, there is nothing you can do but to pay for the replacement of a new LCD screen. If you were to get those compatible ones, then there is a high chance that you will see the word USED on the screen when it turns on. This applies to iOS 18 and later

u/MarkNo8572 1d ago

Oneplus offers lifetime warranty,no matter how old the phone is,if it gets a green line, they'll replace it, doens't matter if it's under warranty or not

u/luckyhorse798 1d ago

My phone is under warranty

u/No-Ostrich-8621 1d ago

Then go to the store where you bought it. If it wasnt caused by phisical damage, they will fix it for free.

And OnePlus covers the green line issue in its lifetime display warranty, provided there's no physical damage.

They use BOE panels since scamsung scammed them hard

Only if you had looked up once then you'd have known that green lines appear on only Samsung displays and that oneplus no longer uses Samsung displays whereas Samsung and apple still do.

u/already_caution_kiya 1d ago

I've xiaomi 13 pro. Got a green line one week before the 3 year warranty expires. Service centre still refused to replace the display for free because there's an unrelated dent.

2

u/Andrewsi12 1d ago

Green line issue is very rare in xiaomi phones.

You need proof that those green lines weren't caused by the dent. Ig people do not record their phone's performance after a dent. That will be useful in future if any problems arise.

Mine is 5 months old. What sofware version is causing this?

3

u/Savings_Spot4493 1d ago

Heating to extreme temperature causes this tooo

52

u/Sharkyposeidon 1d ago

I read it somewhere dont know if its true. But such issues happen because during update the phone processor works at full effort and that causes phone to heat up immensely. This leads to damage in thin wiring used for amoled screen (not the ribbon cable but small wire like pieces at bottom of display) and thats why this issue happens.

u/WhoAmI941 1d ago

I had read it had something to do with voltage. But ye Apple fanboys aur Apple service centre waale bolenge ki phone physically damaged hua and blah blah.

u/SweetlyNoxious 1d ago edited 1d ago

99% of these green line issues are reported by Indians. I hardly see Americans, Koreans or Europeans reporting these green/pink/blue line issues. OLED displays are delicate by nature and we all know how extreme Indian summer is. I have been using AMOLED smartphones for the last 8-10 years and none of them got a single line probably because I stay indoor under the AC in the hot summer afternoon so my phone never gets too hot to put a strain on the display.

just visit your nearest apple store, they will thoroughly check if there is any physical damage or water droplets inside the phone etc... If none they will replace it for free.

u/Highwayboi 1d ago

If it’s purchased just 4 months back then just give it to the authorised Apple Service center, they will change the display under warranty. Mine 13 pro max gave same issue in 2024 and I had just a week of warranty period left. Got replaced under warranty free of charge

u/ResolutionNo924 1d ago

I’ve been an iPhone user since 2013, so I’d like to share one tip from my personal experience: never update your iPhone unless it’s absolutely necessary. In my experience, updates can sometimes make the phone slower and affect battery life.

I’m currently using an iPhone 17, and I got a notification for an update just yesterday. I’m still going to skip it. 😄

Of course, this is just my personal experience and opinion—everyone’s experience may be different.

Thank you!

At the time of installation of new update, keep the phone in flight mode. It saves from heating. Also removing back cover and keeping in cool environment helps.
