Suddenly out of the blue today, my screen took a crop. I've got faded and washed out colors, tons of lines (horizontal, vertical), pink lines, green lines, ghosting and flickering. I just read on another forum that this is suddenly happening to a lot of people. Anyone else having this issue?? What's going on with this thing!? I'm so angry over it.

Screw this. I just asked Verizon for a new phone. They're 2-day shipping it to me, and then I send this piece of junk back to them after I get it.

I think we're going to be a seeing a lot of these reports popping up now. Buyer beware. Definitely a design flaw somewhere. Especially, if it used to happen with the S6, too.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but here's a link to another forum with a better description of what the symptoms are. I think S7 Edge owners need to be familiar with this..
