S9+ screen stays black, not turning on - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello XDA!
today the screen on my Galaxy S9+ G965F/DS suddenly stopped working. I can hear sounds while it turns on and while its on if i tap on something, LED is sometimes blinking blue while on, red while charging and green if charged. But the screen stays black no matter what i do.
Tried: Soft reset, with USB connected and not connected. Booting into recovery and odin-mod.
Connected to PC i see s9+ in explorer, while in odin-mod i see the device showing in that mod too.
Unrooted and untoched firmware.
Before I send this device to repair, or try to repair it by myself i would like to hear some suggestions what else i could try before opening dat device.
Cheers and thanks to everyone in advance! :fingers-crossed:

If the screen isn't working in download-mode, there is nothing you can do. Of course, you can open the phone and try to fix the problem, but then you will lose your warranty. The best would be, if you bring it to your operator, or the shop, where you buyed it. The repair should also be free, because you havn't root your phone.
Try to backup your data over the PC. You can also try to start the device, plug it into the charger, and leave it for at least 24 hours. Then it should backup your data to the Samsung cloud.

restarted in recovery and connected phone to pc and found it on adb

@profi_fahrer not afraid to loose warranty since its samsung and yeah everything that i need is already backed up.
potentially clear back incoming
update: another thing i noticed is that haptic feedback/response is like lagging and coming a bit later then it normaly would

Update:
Got myself an USB type c to HDMI adapter to check if gpu-unit is working... and it is.
So atm I am thinking about opening the device and looking into the problem.
As far as I understand this, failure could be in the display flex cable. Or the display itself. But since its an AMOLED and Pixels are drawn separately from each other..
Checked all sensors, touch, fingerprint reader, all 3 cameras.. Everything is working as should. So weird anyway.

If it's not working correctly and you've not done something to cause it, of course, that's what a warranty is for.

[Q] Misterious car dock (car home) icon when cable connected?

Dear Folks!
There is an annoing problem where I need your experience!
I use CM10.1. Some time after fresh flashing, this issue comes over and over again.
When I plug my phone to charge, car dock icon appears in the notification bar.
(I don't have car dock, phone has never sit in car dock candle!)
This icon shows and hides randomly and my phone reboots sometimes.
I don't know why is it happening.
I don't have car dock. I use only a simple USB cable with adaptor.
I tried many roms before, and other cable too, doesn't work.
Please help me, if you can!
* Edit 1 *
I mentioned this icon as "car dock" but it's name is "car home".
* Edit 2 *
Last night I have experienced this issue I found the only way to charge my phone. This method very simple. Restart S3 to recovery mode (TWRP). In recovery mode, phone will charge without problems (w/o reboot and freeze). Morning I disconnected my phone, restarted - afterwards I haven't got this charging problem again! I'm testing now.
Other forum says, you just have to clean microUSB socket. My phone was clear, but it could be a solution too.
Can you just post it one screenshot with this "car dock icon" ? TY

This is exactly what I want to do. But this issue not comes over since morning. I try to rebbot and plug the device on charger and USB cables. I don't know why, but it is now stable. I must wait until it comes over again. I am ready for it, installed screenshot app and logcat.
I just found an external image where you can see that icon too. That is the third icon on the screenshot.

Cant connect to Samsung Smart Led Lamp (GB9000), how to reset/bypass

Hi, i bought a Samsung smart led lamp, that connects using Bluetooth Low energy and MESH network to control color temperature and on/off with android app,( which haven't been updated since last year) it seems like Samsung suddenly killed this project, with no news about it, its a great and useful smart led lamp but the app is not working properly, i had problems pairing in first place as app kept crashing but after i got it to work there was no problems, until i updated my s5 from 5.0 to 5.1
after that the app loops between searching and re requesting connection to device, and every time it loops the lamp dims to show a connection attempt, but nothing else happens, so i cant get to menu, where is a option to re-initialize the lamp, ( which doesn't seem to working as well) there is no buttons on the lamp and no info about "manual reset", i tried a fresh install , a different phone and phone with kitkat, but all just crash and loop, also when i try to pair using Bluetooth menu it gives me a error: incorrect pin or password, but it doesn't ask for one, i tried the "forcestop bt share" etc but nothing seems to work, also no stop form Samsung and the email address they give in app page in play store is not in use.
also the log of crash points to : source method: FindViewUnlocked and stack trace starts with: "java.lang.illegalArgumentExpection:View=android.widget.FrameLayout{fe9f3fd V.E.... .....I. o,o-960,192} not attached to window manager"
So now for the real question: is there a way to manually reset the lamp or bypass the pin/password?
sorry if wrong subforum or etc

Umidigi One Pro wont go back to "sleep"

Hey Guys,
I have just gotten a fresh Umidigi One Pro like 8 hours ago. Yay, at last, a brand new Phone.. Looks awesome and all BUT
Whenever it gets a Message via Email, Message or anything else that shortly lits up the screen, it will NOT go back to sleep, unless I open the Phone and turn it off again.
I had checked the settings and put Android inactivity thing to 30 Seconds where no inputs where made.
I have just now deactivated the messages on lockscreen completely and I am waiting for a information that I have received a new message (sent one for testing purpose).. and the screen STILL lit up again, even though not showing a message!
Any Ideas why Android isn't goint to sleep automatically? Because when it does not turn off, itgets more and more hot. I just had it only realized that i got DAAAAAMN hot, cuz it slid under the pillow.
I am completely puzzled about this, as my old MIUI usually turned off just after a few seconds (like 5-10 Secs latest) ...
It just now happened to happen AGAIN, my Email must have arrived, it does NOT show on the lockscreen, all in all i see like nothing beside Network+Wifi Signal, Battery, Time and Mic, Avatar and Camera Icon in the bottom.
It kind of pisses me off, as this would mess up Batterytime badly. I would love to keep the Phone, as it really looks awesome to me. Thats kind of a flaw, or maybe even damaged Phone?
I would love to hear from you that I just miss a feature and how to fix it.....
Thanks!
Mhm, the only way I found that would stop to lit up the Screen and not turning off again, is to turn off the processes in the background completely using DuraSpeed ... damn ... useless.

I must confirm this issue. After notification phone display is constantly on. Really annoying.
This is a problem... Potentially deal breaker. What's crazy is if you search for ambient display in settings it shows to be under the battery menu however, it's not there when I look for it.
I found an adb command that supposed to turn off wake screen on notification but I can't try it out right now for lack of computer.
If anyone wants you try, it's
adb shell settings put secure doze_enabled
Please let us know if it works.

Screen switches off after startup

Hi everyone,
I've just bought a brand new display for my sm-t860 that I haven't used for few months. After I installed it and turned it on I was happy when I saw familiar logon screen appearing. Unfortunately my joy only lasted for few seconds as screen switched off after android loaded up.
It happens every time I try to power it on. After system loads screen instantly switches off in the same manner like when you press the power button to turn off the display. It even makes the same sound even though the button wasn't pressed. You can see whole sequence on attached video.
Anyone have idea what could be the reason for this error? Tablet was fully functional before changing the display.

Anyone has idea what this chip is? I noticed it was getting extremely hot when the home screen loaded before display went off like always. Then some absurd idea came to my head and I started tapping it repeatedly while booting. It did a trick as the chip were getting less hot and display stayed on for few more seconds. After few more series of this treatment display stayed on for 10 minutes and I thought the issue is solved. Unfortunately after I opened numerous tabs in web browser system froze and never recovered.
I couldn't even power it on after that so I laid it off for 30 minutes and it's working again but the chip is still getting hot. Tapping works but I need to find the source of this issue rather than try to deal with symptoms.
