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.

Yeah I know but I was flashing a new rom anyway figured it would not hurt anything
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.
On the HTC/Google manufacturing vid for the nexus one display it shows how the screen is comprised of the LCD, the touch detection surface, and the glass. Well... I've just noticed that I can see the touch layer thing, or at least, it looks like the one showed in the video.
If you are under florescent light and look directly at the phone at eye level, tilt it slightly upwards, about 5 degrees or so, and you (well I) can see white dots all over the screen, the dots seem to be visible where the grid/crosshatch lines intersect.
Just thought it was strange, you can see it with the phone on or off
that`s normal, everybody can see it.
yup, just noticed it today ^^; (I've had the phone for 2 weeks)
I noticed it a while ago but I think this is normal.
Seems normal. At first I thought the glittering dots were dust, then realized they were aligned in a perfect grid.
I thought it was pretty cool when I saw it.
I'm glad that the visibility is less than that of the HD2, when I had the HD2 I ALWAYS noticed it.

Lol,make laughed.
You can see the crosshatch too if you move the phone around in bright light while the screen is off.
I thought that was damn cool.
I'm sure my eyes must be rubbish now, I cannot see what you guys are talking about

Turn off the screen of the phone.
Now try looking at the screen (there must be a decent light) moving it a little bit in diagonal, if you look very close you will see the grid of the touchscreen.
I've never noticed it until today
It scared me when I opened my n1..but I quite like the diagonal lines. The nexus also has a beautiful purple hue to it.
I searched around the forums and did not see anything else posted about this. I just bought the WiFi only Xoom and am very happy with it, except for the fact that the bottom edge of my screen is darker and dimmer.
To clarify a little bit, I mean the edge of the screen thats next to the ports on the bottom of the Xoom. Normally its impossible to notice since I usually hold my xoom in landscape and there is the black bar at the bottom. If I open a pdf file or ebook, and then view it in portrait mode, I notice a darkening of the screen along this edge. It kind of looks like a shadow or a very slight black blur. The darkness is not that exaggerated but once I noticed it, I could not stop looking at it when reading.
Now I normally go on a witch hunt for problems with new devices when I first get them. The more I pay for them, the harder I look. I thought at first I might be doing this with the xoom and kind of blowing this out of proportion, but last night I was showing it off to a friend and he noticed it before I even mentioned it.
Does anyone else notice the darkness along the bottom, or do I just have a defective panel? Its easiest to see if you put your brightness around 80% and then display something that has lots of white, like a pdf or ebook, and then hold it in portrait mode.
I will post pics of it when I get home tonight.
i've noticed on all the xooms i've looked at too, including the one i bought. someone once replied that it was defective, but i think it's actually how it's made.
most people's eyes may not be sensitive enough to notice this i suppose.
I hope this is not the case. This might be a deal breaker for me since I need a device that I can read on a lot.
Can anyone else verify this?
Mines not like that. I'm using the Verizon one. I use it in portrait often.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
i just exchanged my defective one (had wake issues) for a new one and guess what - dim bottom too.
that makes 8 xooms i've looked at that have the dim bottom. it's only noticable on white/light bg and if you don't have your menu bar covering it.
i picked up the wifi xoom yesterday and noticed it when togglieing the bottom right corner setting button (battery indicator). When looking at this the entire right portion of the screen dims. Other than that, it is not noticeable.

This is a purposeful UI effect (what you are talking about, not the OP).
For the OP, I looked at my Xoom diff brightness levels, angles, orientations, etc, cannot see any dimming. 3G model. Not very helpful, I know.
also, if you look at the top of the screen (landscape mode) at an angle you can see the light source. the lighting just isn't even. i'm positive that if i look at anyone's xoom i'll see it since the back lighting is made the same on all... unless they switched mfg's in production like the evo4g's did.
Well thats a real bummer. I think I might just hold onto mine for a while and maybe try and do a warranty replacement later in the year if they fix this issue.
Did you notice any 3g models having the dim bottom, madsquabbles? Or for that matter, has anyone noticed this on the 3g model?
I first noticed it on the 3G. thats when I posted my first question.
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
If your phone still.have warranty, send it back
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Your's looks like back lite bleeding.
I think mine is damp insite.
it's geting less.
noticed whilst sitting in a slightly dark room (my living room actually) something odd with my note edge.
i scrolled my edge display (got several apps there) today and noticed that if i scrolled fast up and down
while paying attention on my main display (right at the border between the main display / edge display) some weird
artifacts appeared where my edge icons are (on the right side). if i scrolled very slowly, nothing was noticeable.
once i started scrolling up and down more quickly it started to get noticeable.
it's almost as if the icons leaves a very dim "shadow" partly leaking into my main screen.
it was quite easy to spot, especially when i had a white background (s-pen application).
if you want to try for yourself, just peel your eyes at the right if your edge display, scroll up and down with your finger to get those app
icons moving, and you'll probably see some dim "shadows" too. not sure what causes this, but it's a bit annoying once i know it's there.
not that it's that easy to see, but once paying attention to it.. well.. please let me know if anyone else got the same "problem". :good:
i'd call it leaking light, or some sort of thing. looks to be the case. don't know why my app icons on my edge display causes minor light leakage
onto my main display though.
like i said, it's barely noticeable, but still..

Not happening with my phone. Everything is smooth and realistic . No shadow or light leak.
You should try to change some wallpaper and activate adaptive display in display settings .

hm okay. i have my display set to the adaptive display setting, and i notice minor light leaks from the icons on my edge display
regardless of what wallpaper i'm currently having. this can be visible in my lockscreen too, on a darker wallpaper (currently
got the live weather one actually). i must emphasize that this is not a very noticeable "thing". i do however see some "shadowing"
to the right of my edge app icons if i scroll through them. not too fast, and not too slow. it's hard to see at first,
but if i fix my eyes at a certain point to the far right of my main display, it's there.
this is not noticeable if i do not scroll through my edge display apps though. when doing that, i notice the app icons
have these very very minor shadows casting off to the right of the edge display itself.
i know many people wouldn't even notice it, but i'm one of those pixel peepers i suppose.
for all i know this phenomena only occur on my phone, i don't know.
at first i thought that my eyes were just playing games on me, but i do actually see some very minor light leaking tendencies.
oh well!
Localized to your phone, man..

i'll make sure to test out a phone in some nearby retailer once they get some demo phones out.
in norway, they are currently only sold over the counter, quite literally.
i tried to place a magazine across my edge display. then i started scrolling.. did actually not notice any shadowing or leaking
when i did that. might just be my eyes, or the fact that i'm in a very dark room. our eyes tend to play tricks on us now and then,
this might be the explanation to the issue i suppose. i'll leave feedback once i've done some more research.
as stated earlier though, this was/is hardly noticeable
Barely worth posting about?

well, if you get the notion there might be an issue with your phone
you'd probably ask someone if they experience the same thing you do.
the phone is not available for testing in stores over here, and i don't know anyone else
with a note edge. this is why i posted about the "light leaking" phenomena i was experiencing.
i still find it rather odd. then again, might just be normal.
might also just be me being oversensitive, overanalyzing things.
yet, i just wanted to get some opinions on the matter, i thought someone else
might've noticed something similar.
Or take it to the shop you bought it from.
Im not going to play dumb with you.
