I did not think you could burn a image in to the screen on these phones but I just found a dark burned in spot on the bottom left of my screen....
Not sure what to do about it makes me sad :-(
Just thought I would warn people that it seems you can burn images in to the screen.... I was using a hero theme on my phone that has the launher bar the graphic for that burned in to the bottom left of my screen.

Wow, I thought image burn-in only effected CRTs. I'm sorry for your loss :-( What are you going to do? If it's in warranty you could probably send it to HTC.

Yeah I am going to check the warranty and see if I can send it in for a replacement or a new screen or something.
But yeah I thought it only effected CRTs to and not LCD screens so I am not sure why it has the spot. it is weird it is a faded dark spot like that part of the screen is failing but if you look hard you can see the circle with the arrow in it like the graphic the theme I had on used nothing seems to make it go away.
Actually.. I believe all our phones does this? For example, open up browser and Google, then hit home. Go outside under very very bright sunlight, and you can still see the burned in image of the browser.
Updated I took the battery out of my phone and let it set for about 10 minutes then put it back in the image has gone away but there is still a faint dark spot in that corner. this image stayed on the screen even after doing two wipes and installing two new roms on the phone. the image only went away after leaving the battery out for 10 minutes.

LCD don't get burn in like a CRT but it does do SOMETHING less permanent that has a similar affect as burn in. I forget what it's actually called though.

It must be some other kind of damage, as it is not possible to "burn in" a lcd. There are no elements in a LCD that can be irreversibly biased toward one color due to normal usage.

This isn't burn-in, its just a characteristic of the LCD module used in the Dream.
it is possible on lcds to get burnin, its just not burn in, its called image persistence, it just needs the image to be on the screen alot longer than on a plasma or crt for it to occur

Try using a flashlight program that sets the screen to white this should reset the colors.

i have noticed this too but i agree with RaiderX303 that its not actual burn-in but the screen's characteristics while in operation. if you let the phone sit for a short while and then go outside and look at it again, you wont see any marks or ghost images....
hoestly, its a cheap LCD screen and its to be expected...
As for the original poster... have you left the phone in direct sunlight? maybe on a window or in your car? The sun has tendencies to mark or "blot" the screens cause they heat up and leak, looks like an ink blot.... as me how i know this... LOL, either way, try changing the phone cause i dont think i would be able to live with a marked screen either
goodluck,

thats what Pioneer does to their Kuro's and it's one hell of an idea if you havent tried it yet. But to the other posters yes LCD's arent perfect either and while it isnt called burn in, its pretty much the same thing to a lesser extent.
Dark spots on an LCD can also be "pressure points", ie, the LCD has been subjected to excessive pressure at that spot at some point, and basically it gets, in laymen terms, a "bruise"... not fully broken, but damaged. Usually happens if some the phone freezes and some yahoo that borrowed your phone decides pressing harder will make things work again.... or it pressed up against that marble in your pocket a bit too hard, etc.

Since the Nexus S uses the same SAMOLED as the Galaxy S phones (which are prone to burn in due to its technology), I would expect it to have the same problem.
Just a heads up because someone is bound to come here complaining about it sooner or later.
The first thing people notice is the AM/PM burn in, so if you care, I recommend switching to military time
The a.m. / p.m. was removed in Gingerbread.
I will ALWAYS use ADW or Launcher Pro from now on to hide the notification bar to avoid screen burn. I also use a non-stock browser (Dolphin atm) to hide the notification bar as well.
My captivate has never burned in, but I do keep it on lowest brightness settings.

you know what? I just now noticed that!
My nexus one has burn in of the notification bar too. The white color causes it but now since its black it will reduce it. But the white text like the clock time can still cause it. Use launcher pro to hide the bar completely is recommended to reduce the time showing a static image in one spot.

Already have Burn in on the Nexus S
LOL I am sure this will cause a ruffle tuffle. But I know how you guys like to ***** about stupid **** so here goes.
I have keyboard burn in on portrait mode. Simple test. With no notifications and keyboard up pull down the notification window. You will see that the keys's outline still show. Now hide the keyboard and do the same. You will see the outline still in the notification pull down.
Oh boy; I'll let others have a go at this post.
I don't know what your talking about. The keyboard does not show through the notification bar for me

Its not permanant bro..
I've been turning the screen timeout off to prevent the screen from turning off while gaming until the game devs update for Gingerbread compatibility. Last night I left it on when I went to sleep and a scheduled backup woke the phone up in the middle of the night. Screen was on for 6 hours displaying the same image. Absolutely no image burn.
If you're seeing burn-in after using the phone normally, you need to exchange it.

Does the nexus s use a different type of screen than the galaxy phones? My vibrant uses a super amoled screen, which I believe have more of a chance for screen burn in than plasma.

Umm its not an lcd, its an amoled and they absolutely suffer from burn in. Just ask the many nexus one owners. It took only one month from brand new for my notification bar to burn in to the screen. All Samsung amoled screens suffer from this, including the nexus s will too. Unless of course you're careful not to allow any one static image to remain on the screen for too long.

hmm weird i dont remember having this on my galaxy S. this is really weird to hear :/
Today is suddenly noticed this problem with my screen.
It reacts normal to touch.
Was it high pressure or fluids?
Hi,
There is nothing to worry about.
This is a known glitch.
Best thing to do ,is reboot your phone and it will clear.
its difficult to tell from the pics but i have very similar marks only much smaller, mine wont go away, i believe its a defect in the TFT panel and the backlight is getting through too much, if its the same issue as mine on a dark screen its harder to tell, but white shows up a lot. that kinda of supports my thoughts on it as a darker screen forces the pixcels to "block" more light coming through from the back light,
I thought it was like a negative appearance,where everything goes like a negative picture.
You're right ,it does look a bit vague on second looks.
If it clears after a reboot,then it was what I thought.
If it doesn't clear,then I'm not sure what it is.
A reboot doesn't effect the screen, to bad. Is my tft leak or something like that?
If i putt pressure on the screen i can move the white spot in the middle a little.
Thanx for the reactions.

i think its the same as mine, when you rub the screen on mine it can look like its moving but its not, its like when you push your finger on your arm it goes white then goes back to being normal, or in this case mine goes back to being wrong
im hunting for a bricked HD2 to replace the whole panel, unless your under warrenty i suspect you'll need to do the same
ive attached a pic to show you mine, its really hard to tell but see if it looks like yours the white spotes are down the bottom
Some kind lcd bleeding mate

I was wondering if anyone else was seeing blank splotches on their screen when u view ur gs3 in a dark room with a black background (used a screen test app)? I read that it was normal for amoled screens to have this
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
YES. What the hell are those? I'm in a dark basement with the brightness all the way down an can see black spots in several parts of the screen when viewing on a dark background. This isn't normal, right?
There are other threads about this... and yes they are normal on amoled screens. I found mine yesterday i have a few small ones and one the size of pencil eraser. Just get use to it. The odds of you getting a replacement without any is very slim.
Yeah I just read other threads about it. It's only visible in specific conditions so 99% of the time I won't even notice them.
So that's an actual part of the screen? I always assumed that was some internal part that was somehow inexplicably noticable when the screen was dark. I have one about 60% down from the top of the screen. Weird, but it's not a big deal really.

It might be an ink blob or glue.
I found a few small ones yesterday. Not a big deal as I wouldn't have noticed it if I weren't looking for then in the dark. I'm definitely not returning it for something I'll most likely never notice again.
Very interesting. Out of the blue, when I turned my phone on this afternoon I started seeing top to bottom vertical banding. I've noticed that it changes depending on what colors are on the screen, especially in the top/status bar. They are mostly white/gray, but there is a little blue and red.
The phone is only 8 days old, so I'm planning on bringing it back to Sprint on Monday morning. I'm quite sure it's a hardware issue, but I haven't seen anyone else posting about it with this device. I only wanted to see if anyone else had this experience so that I could decide whether it was a design defect that would cause me to reconsider my choice of this phone.
Peace.
have you drop the phone? coz mine develop a horizontal one on the top display .. drop from about 1 feet from the ground
fortunately for me, after i reboot it, the issue gone for good

No drops. Phone was in an OtterBox Defender.
Didn't go away after multiple reboots.
Brought it in to a Sprint store and they ordered me a replacement.
Glad I hadn't rooted it yet.
i notice these lines to, its more of a grid that i see, vertical and horizontal lines, i believe its supposed to make the phone more responsive to the touch of our fingers, making it react faster than other android phones...just an assumption

I had this happen after I had my screen replaced (cracked screen). Local repair guy replaced the screen, seemed to be working fine. I took it home and got these same vertical white streaks. Took it back to him, he found some kind of lose connector or board somewhere below the screen and had to apply some adhesive. I'm picking it up today to see if the issue is truly fixed.

I have this exact issue, only difference is that the screen sometimes goes black. I noticed that when it does of I press the lower part of the screen it will display the white grid briefly then go black again. I have tried holding down the circuitry near the connector at the lower part of the screen down but to no avail. Please help.
I think I've experienced the same with my phone after a DIY display replacement. I put some electrical tape between the display connectors and the radio cable. Make sure that the tape is holding all the display connectors in place.

Nice solution to this is to install Renovate ICE ROM, change status bar colours transparency to about 60% so the whites are dimmer / less vivd.
I also use XDA Nav bar with split pill mode so I don't have any full white static parts. (Nav bar moved below screen) (See screenshot attached) All I do is swipe up onto the screen in the apropriate area. (You will have to config pill yourself unless I can get a config over to you)

I have Amazon warranty of 2 years so I guess they would replace it or refund me if I contacted them... in my case the burn in is visible but not that bad in everyday use though it still bothers me... I also think there is no point in getting a replacement from Amazon without having the guarantee that it won't happen again after some time.

Let me guess, you had black navbar, status bar, and keyboard. If that's the case then of course they burned in. Burn in is nothing more than uneven decay of pixels. The black one didn't decay but the rest of your screen did
