Samsung is repairing Galaxy S20 ‘line on display’ issue for free of cost
Some Samsung Galaxy S20 series units are continuously getting affected by a “line-on display issue” even without any kind of external damage or signs of water. Well, Samsung has reportedly started repairing Galaxy S20 for free affected by a “line on display” issue.
According to a banner shared by a user on Reddit, Samsung India issued specific repairing guidelines regarding free-of-cost screen replacement of the Galaxy S20+ models (SM-G986B) having a line on display defect. It mentions “guide/educate all service engineers about the FOC screen replacement policy”.
Following this, the Galaxy S20+ smartphone consumers with a “line on display” defect can visit the nearby Samsung service center and let them know about the issue. The engineers should accept your request of replacing the display of the affected model free of cost.
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung is currently repairing only the Galaxy S20+ models having the mentioned screen defect. However, there’s no information about the other two variants – Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Ultra, well, those devices might not be having such issues.
In the guideline document, Samsung noted that it is repairing the Galaxy S20+ screens for only one time free of cost replacement as there’re no signs of external damage of water insertion through ports. Impressively, devices out of warranty will also be repaired for free, but only for one time until December 31st.
Aside from India, we haven’t seen such kind of guideline or notification from Samsung or consumers regarding the replacement of the Galaxy S20+ screens. You can check Samsung India’s statement (mentioned in the document image shared by user) below.
“To support the customers, it is decided to consider this (line on display) issue for only one time FOC (free of cost) replacement of OCTA assembly along with Battery in above said (Galaxy S20+ 5G) until 31st December 2022.”

Users of Galaxy smartphones running Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 have reported that they are unable to delete the Secure Folder app after installing its update. This issue is mainly affecting flagship devices that recently received the One UI 6.1 update. Due to this issue, users are not able to use this app at their convenience.
However, Samsung has acknowledged the issue with the Secure Folder app in its latest One UI 6.1 update. This issue affects several flagship devices including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9.
According to the community moderator, the issue occurred while integrating the latest Google security policies, resulting in the distribution of a non-deletable version of the Secure Folder app, specifically version 1.9.10.27.
The Korean tech giant is preparing to release a fix to address this problem. Users will be able to download the updated app through the Galaxy Store. To update, simply open the Galaxy Store, search for ‘Secure Folder’, and select the update option.
Users are encouraged to update their Secure Folder app as soon as the new version is available to maintain optimal performance and security of their personal data.

One UI 6.1 update offers several new features and Galaxy AI for the Galaxy S23 series as well as some unexpected bugs and changes, particularly in the way folder backgrounds are displayed. But the good news is that Samsung will fix the One UI 6.1 folder background issue with the next Home Up update.
Previously, with One UI 6.0, users had the option to adjust the background blur to a near-transparent 1% using the Home Up Good Lock app feature. However, the recent upgrade to One UI 6.1 has resulted in an unexpected opacity of folder backgrounds.
Users have reported that despite attempts to turn the Home Up feature off and on like a reset, the folder background remains unaffected and completely opaque. This is different from the Apps screen, which still responds to adjustments in HomeUp settings.
In response to these concerns, a community moderator has confirmed that a solution is underway with a new update of the Home Up app. The next update of this Good Lock module will resolve the non-responsive background blur control issue for folders. The update is expected to be available soon and will restore the customization options that users have been missing.
