Since last three days my perfectly working galaxy watch 6 lte is facing screen flickering issue with bright white horizontal lines whenever any home or back button is pressed. The watch is functioning and recording health parameters normally but I cannot read anything on the watch. The order of events as I observed is as follows :- 

1. On 10th Feb 2025, night while charging I noticed occasional flickering white lines. I removed my watch from charging.

2. Next day on 11th Feb, when I had again put my watch for charging, intensive flickering started and screen went totally dark. But vibrations and notification kept coming. After some time I noticed that screen is very dim but in dark condition I could *** what's there on the screen.

3. I factory reseted my watch after taking back up. After reset, my backup wasn't restored for some reason and on top of it, my watch screen was still very dim and whenever any button is pressed, screen flickering with white horizontal lines started.

4. Thereafter, I did watch diagnostic  using samsung inbuilt option and found that all parameters were working except for LTE as it was not activated.

5. Next day I.e. 12th Feb After wearing watch for most part of the day, at evening I observed that watch screen issue had worsened and it was fully showing white flickering whenever I pressed any button. After some time watch returns to blank screen After its screeb timeout. 

6. No I have just switched off my watch and hoping like hell that watch becomes OK on its own.

on 11th Feb.

Present state After pressing a button.

Is anyone facing similar issues or samsung expert can advice a solution.

 

Thanks in Advance

the only solution is replace the screen, if S or Z phone screen can suffer green/pink line issues then Galaxy Watch have their own problem: that flickering and orange screen

 

it doesn't matter if you never drop your GW6, there's a small chance Galaxy Watch may suffer orange screen or flickering issue: thanks to heat generated from Watch Body, nevertheless i have read several reports about this kind of issue from reddit from GW4, GW4C, GW5, GW5P, and now GW6 owners, i forget about GW6C but i think i read somewhere about its broken physical rotating bezel

 

i never saw screen report from GW7 and GW Ultra since they still considered as new product and it's pretty rare to find GW FE because of its small battery and no 44mm variant

The same thing has been happening to mine! The whole time I've had it! (Since January 2024) 

This is the first time I've FINALLY seen somebody post about the same issue I have. 

For mine (originally) I could wait for the battery to die completely, I usually leave it for a day or 2, then i completely charge it, then turn it on. Then it works fine! Temporarily.... then it became more and more frequent. I became so careful with my watch! I wouldn't take it anywhere unless it was on my wrist, because I felt like when it was lose in my bag it may effect it. I never got it wet, never was rough with it. 

Now it won't turn on at all. And when I try charge it over heats. The screen works fine when it's completely flat and wants to tell me it has no battery. But now i charge it over heats. Sometimes I get it on for a second and this screen flickering thing happens. If either of us ever find a solution we have to let each other know, please!
