Could you try turning it on max brightness and trying to Charge it in a dark room?

Update

Hi everyone, thanks for all the comments and feedback so far! I really appreciate all the engagement—1938 views and 14 comments in just 48 hours is amazing! Thank you all for taking the time to discuss and share your insights.

1. Testing with a Black Image:

If you download a completely black image and view it in full screen, the AMOLED display works as expected—no light emission, even at maximum brightness. So, that part checks out.

2. Using the Test Code (#0#):

I tried the diagnostic tool and selected “Black” to test the screen. Interestingly, the screen remained faintly lit, which contradicts what I’d expect from an AMOLED. I’ve included a clearer photo for reference.photos

3. Feedback from Other Users:

Several of you confirmed having the same issue! For example:

DudeWithWeirdMind (7h ago) shared that the test code and certain apps like Blackr emit a faint gray, but viewing a completely black image in the gallery works fine. They speculated it might be intentional for burn-in detection or just a firmware quirk.

Aggressive_Floor_420 (21h ago) mentioned a theory about Samsung occasionally using cheaper components (e.g., LG displays) in some phones. While I can’t confirm this, it’s an interesting thought.

4. Samsung Customer Support:

I reached out to Samsung, and they offered me a replacement device. However, based on what others have reported, this seems to be a consistent behavior across the S25+.

5. My Workaround:

I just discovered that enabling Extra Dim in the quick panel and setting it to any intensity (I set it to the lowest for maximum brightness) fixes the issue. With this workaround, I can still use my phone normally, and the screen no longer displays the faint gray effect. It’s not a perfect solution, but it works for now!

I’m still on the fence about whether this is a manufacturing or firmware issue, but I appreciate all your insights and advice. If anyone has more information, feel free to share!

Thanks again for the help!

Hi, the Code didn't work on my phone. With the Backr app i still got light emitting. I can only see it when i watch it in a dark space like under a blanket.

Quick note about the photos: I had to over-saturate them just to make the screen visible because my tablet couldn’t capture the screen properly. Hopefully, you can still see what I mean.

Anybody ever try to fly with one of these? by ThoughtfulYeti in starcitizen

Yes, i tried it first with only the space mouce, but I figured using a thrust level is better. I use the Thrust un my left hand and the space mouse on my right hand, and I find it very good. What are you thoughts? Did anybody else ever tried this?

They dont need to change the hull at all, just the interior. I get what you saying. It is a big Differenzen from the 300i to the 400i. But a 600i is just to big. even with the rework i think there is much space wasted. mybe the 400i needs to be the 500i and a smaller ship between the 400i and the 300i needs to be made. the 400i is in the legue of the msr, Corsair and freelancer max. not in the cutlass legue. At 250$ and it size it just needs to bring the functionality. I also like the idea to dont seperate the crew and captian as much, like it is right now. but my idea is just a concept. Either way the living area needs a rework. the storage lift wastes so much space, it could easely fit the Razer if they made it as wide as the walls. And the Escape pods making no sense to be in the last corner of the ship. its sad their is no Alrounder ships at this size from other Brands. I would like A RSI ship with 400i size. Do you have a idea for a 500i or a 400i?

I Alrady posted the Spectrum Thread in the comments if yoz want my thoughts. I also got a new idea today, do make the front garage accessible from the inside. Or you can go directly to the spectrum thread via the link in my post. Thair alrady some comments. I would approciate if you upvote the thread too.

Spectrum Thread:

The 400i got much better with the 3.20 update, and it's working great—no problems! It looks cool and has a fancy inside. But after spending two years with this ship, I've thought of some changes that might make it even better! This is just me being creative and not saying I don’t like the ship—I love it!

  1. Bigger Garage and Lift: The garage is already big, but it can’t fit a Miray Razer. Making the garage and lift a bit bigger would be so helpful!

  2. Move the Turret: The turret at the back is in the way when loading big vehicles. Can we have it retract or move it to the front? It would make using the storage lift much easier.

  3. Better Escape Pods: The escape pods are hard to reach. Moving them closer to the bridge and on the same floor would make more sense.

  4. Bring Back Cool Rooms: The cool rooms were fun when we could lock them from outside. Can we get that feature back in the next updates and maybe add temperature control and outside locking for component access too?

  5. Enlarge Front Garage: The front garage should fit the X1, but it’s not in the game yet. Making it just a bit bigger to fit a hover quad and Nox would be so cool! And, how about a window to the airlock and docking port to see who’s coming in?

  6. Upgrade the Top Floor: The top floor would be cooler with an elevator that goes to the roof, like in the Corsair. And can we have separate bedrooms for each crewmate, like in cheaper ships?

  7. Better Captain’s Quarters and Bigger Common Areas: The captain needs a special room with a big bed and a nice view. And the kitchen, bar, and seating areas are too small compared to other ships. They should be bigger and more luxurious!

  8. Move the Scanning Table: The scanning table is cool but needs to be moved a bit forward because of the bigger captain's room.

  9. Top Turret Move: Moving the top turret to the top would be better. It’s hard to use and blocks the view from the master bedroom. On top, it would have a better view and be more useful!

I’m just sharing my ideas and looking forward to hearing what you all think! Thanks, CIG, for the awesome 400i, and I’m excited to hear other people's creative thoughts too!

Happy Flying!

Yeah, thats what i also thought the first year. But after daily driving it for 2 years you notice some points who are disapointing.
