Display likely made by samsung . So you can google / youtube solve green line issue on Samsung phones . Then try out the solutions.

The problem lies not with android but display problem.

Probably, after the aftermath green/purple line issued, my advice is not to update anymore, once you receive any of your brand new android set if your set are oversea set like china/hk . Cos online seller only provides 6-months warranty nia.

Has anyone tried their Scan QR code tile (the new Android 13 function) and got a blank black screen instead? It was working fine until the recent update I think :(

Yeah I personally think it's due to overheating of the phone that trigger the lines to appear. Happened to my 5III a month back, bought an old 5II to tide the wait for a new 5V. Used my 5II as GPS navigation on my motorcycle and it just developed 3 lightsabers over 2 days. Fcuking hell.

My 5 III finally has the dreaded green line appearing on my screen :(

Does anyone knows if Sony svc centre will still fix this issue for out of warranty set? (Mine was bought in early 2022).

Is yours an overseas handset? Sony replaced the screens of both my Xperia 5ii and 5iii free of charge. They had green lines, both were out of warranty. The customer service agent said they do the screen replacement free of charge for local handsets only. I sent them in May this year. The turnaround was a week or less.

I suppose you brought them to the Somerset service centre?

Yes, Somerset service centre.

Two years ago, when my 5ii had green lines slightly more than a year of use, they quoted me a couple of hundred dollars to replace screen. I rejected.

Think you should go Somerset give it another try. It's free anyway.

Thanks for the advice, perhaps I should try it again. Else it's so wasted, the phone is still working well except for the green line which is blocking some of my views sigh.....

I must thank you very much for the advice donpen.

I went back Sony centre again, with the same lady (yes same!) attending to me but apparently she forgotten my case. So she took the phone from me, saying that if any cost incurred, they will inform me first.

A week later today, I was ask to collect and they change my screen FOC!

If only they did it first earlier, I will not have purchase 10 VI last month and now I dunno whether to switch back to my 5 III or not :eek:
