Display green line issue again plaguing Samsung Galaxy S21 phones
Users of Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and S21 Ultra reporting the display green line issue following the software update. A few months back, many complaints surfaced on the web, citing the same problem due to the latest software installation only.
Now it looks like the display green line issue again haunting users of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series. A thin vertical green line appears on the screen without any external damage from the insertion of foreign material.
The green line issue is a hardware defect, which couldn’t be generated by software only. The problem occurs when because of a faulty display connector or flex cable. Internal elements could be damaged because of phone overheating due to software installation in Exynos phones.
In the past, we’ve seen many cases of the green line on display problem in Samsung phones. The company has also offered free screen replacement to select models, hence, there’s no other way to address it. Software glitches can be addressed by hard reset, but hardware defects can’t.
Since the connector and flex cable link the display to the phone’s main circuit board, the green or purple line could appear if any one of those components gets faulty. Apart from damage, looseness could also lead to display-related problems, including green vertical lines.
The problem appeared mostly on Exynos-powered Galaxy devices. The reason could be the overheating, which further extends while the phone installs a new firmware update. In the worst case, the surrounding atmosphere could also lead to damage to display-related components.

Good Lock app failing to open? Samsung will soon push fix update
Samsung Good Lock is a widely used customization app, but users have been facing a functional issue with its start screen behavior. Users have noticed that the app, which used to open on the last tab they viewed, now opens by default on the ‘Terrace’ tab every time it is visited.
This change from the expected behavior was reported by a user who pointed out that the app should remain on the last tab where it was turned off. Instead, the app now consistently starts from the ‘Terrace’ tab, causing minor inconvenience to those who rely on its original functionality.
However, the Samsung community moderator has acknowledged the issue and announced that a solution is underway. The fix will be included in the next update, ensuring that the app will function as intended.
Users of Samsung Good Lock can look forward to the upcoming update, which promises to restore the app’s smart tab selection feature and enhance overall usability.
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention! As you said, normal operation is for the last page viewed to be selected first. We will correct this part and have it reflected in the next version release,” said the community moderator.
