Latest update for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G promises to fix the touchscreen issues

12 April 2021
It's not the first update to make such a claim, but that is the only major claim in the changelog - the other being a new security patch.

    My s20 is 14 month old, did update 15.april, my screen goes white and flickers once I open it, I can only use it in dark mode without flickering. Just discovered on forums it is common error. Terrible Samsung doesn't inform us and from what I read makes customers buy new screen!

      I am facing similar issues from past 1 month

      1. The screen goes completely off and black. I need to force restart my phone using power and volume down button to get the phone to work again

      2. Sometimes while switching between apps I see white lines on screen

      I am avoiding visit to Samsung care as they would advise screen replacement with high charges claiming water damage (This seems to be the ideal fix for all display issues basis my earlier experience with my other samsung phones)

                    Random White lines appearing since last 1 month occasionally. Phone is on latest Update & all Apps are updated. Tried contacting Service Center twice but they just reinstall software. Nothing changed. Mine is 4g and from India. Anyone else faced this kind of issue, please let me know.

I called AT&T and they reset something in our phones but it didn't really work... off to the store for us tomorrow..... stupid horrible update DON'T DO IT!!!! I agree

Maybe being so big means they don't give a rat's ass about one customer complaining. That's why class action lawsuits where customers come together and form a collective are so important to bringing justice and getting their attention. At the moment, they don't give a damn. After a broken TV and smartphone, I won't touch one again. Where's the Note 7-style recall Samsung??? No, you'll instead hide the issue with software updates and pretend it doesn't exist until warranties expire. YOU WON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME, SAMSUNG, AND YOUR PATHETIC EXCUSE "SERVICE" DEPARTMENTS.

There's a defect with EVERY single flagship device of theirs. Stay away, DO NOT BUY! They circumvent consumer law and constantly sell lemon phones that self destruct when they push updates. Don't let them cut corners, use your money wisely, and show them they're not getting your money! Disgusting practices from a brand for such a major company with mounds of R&D funds - so disappointing, and most importantly incredibly infuriating for the hundreds of thousands of people experiencing issues every day with their new phones. I can see why people buy iPhones, they walk into Apple stores conveniently located, get a free repair. If that doesn't fix it, the device is replaced. I had this experience myself, so have my friends and other people I've read online! Instead I'll have to go with an affordable phone until I wait for the Sony 5 III, a brand I've had excellent experiences with. Very durable phones that rarely have hardware quality issues and are designed well to last. Shame on Samsung, you should be better and are sorely letting Android down, giving it a bad name due to your shoddy or rushed manufacturing, cost cutting and product designs.
