Great tip! I’ll definitely try that. Has anyone found other methods to fix this issue?

I’ve found that sometimes the issue may be related to specific apps. Try booting in Safe Mode to see if the squares persist; if they don’t, it’s likely an app causing problems.
How do you enter Safe Mode on a Samsung phone? I’ve noticed the transparent squares seem worse when I’m using certain apps.
You can enter Safe Mode by pressing and holding the power button, then tapping and holding the ‘Power Off’ option until ‘Safe Mode’ appears. It’s really helpful for diagnosing issues!
I never thought my phone could be this temperamental! I might just try the Safe Mode trick too. It’s about time I got rid of those pesky squares!

Same here, pjohnson! It’s annoying but reassuring to see I’m not alone in this. Let’s hope it’s a simple fix.

I’ve also heard that using a screen protector can sometimes cause display issues. Make sure yours isn’t causing the transparent squares!
That’s a valid point! I actually removed mine last week but didn’t think it would make a difference.
If all else fails, consider a factory reset, but make sure to back up your data first! I once had to reset my phone, and it was painful to set everything up again!
Ugh, factory resets are the worst! But if it fixes the problem, it might be worth it. Has anyone noticed if their warranty covers screen issues like this?

Many warranties do cover screen problems, but always read the fine print! Just don’t mention the transparent squares too casually; they might think it’s user error!

Exactly, blane! Just hope they don’t blame it on my clumsiness. If my phone could talk, it would probably have its own comedy show by now!
Best of luck! Keep us updated on your progress. We’re all rooting for you!
