I Recently noticed screen burn-in of the Google Play icon (Homescreen Shortcut) on the screen ...
The burn-in is more noticeable in white/gray backgrounds...
How do I remove it if its posible? Tried few apps from market but app logo imprint is still visible

Mother of GOD ! there are other icon imprints as well if I look closely !!
Hope it doesn't get darker than this ...

You won't find away around it unfortunately.
These screens are both fantastic and both sh*t at the same time. It's good technology but it isn't perfected. My original SGS went terrible. After nearly 2 years on it I could see perfectly the alarm icon and almost every icon I had on my home screen on light and dark backgrounds - It's a nice screen but it will only get worse within time.
As others have said only real solution is to keep altering your backgrounds and home screens but tbh I wouldn't bother, you'll still get burn from the time and other icons in the status bar.
Until Samsung sort them out and improve how they work it's just the way it's going to be

Whoa!! That is scary!
I have heard that there is no solution for a burn-in..? Thanks for the advice though. I'll keep changing the layout constantly.

Damn it sucks but I don't have a camera buttttt if you pull your notification bar down look at the grey area.....you should see some sort of grid lines that are light
Mine has that but also there are a couple of dark lines that can be seen on everything including pictures.....

[Q] Nexus 4 weird display issue

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and just today I've noticed that when in dark screen (locked, or simply the settings page) and outside of the house I see kind of weird black lines on the whole display screen, going form top to bottom making some 3 small square shapes after the others all over the display, can be obviously seen when display facing bright sky outside in almost any angel, but in room light barely can see them with certain angels.
will make a photo of it asap.
p.s. I've never seen a notification light yet on the middle bottom of my device.
Anyone same "problem" with display?
Its the digitizer.

Could you link an example image from goolge or something to make sure it is what I mean? can't seem to find something alike..is this normal?
I can confirm that its the digitizer I too have found that with this phone it is very easy to see even with weak light I see it when I get the right angle. It looks like you described but the vertical lines look more like dots arranged neatly than lines on mine.

Just noticed the same thing on my device. Thought I was tripping out maaaaaaan

Its the digitizer, its normal. I think its because of the "zero gap" technology thing ; the display and the digitizer are right below the glass.
As for the notification light, download Lightflow from the Play Store. Works great.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
For the notification LED, make sure you enable the " Pulse notification light" option in Settings->Display. Using Lightflow on top will give you lots of customisation options though.

I am now noticing the same issue in my nexus 4. If it is because of zero gap technology then why it is not there in iPhone 5 and other phones which use this technology?
I also notice that my brother who got the phone some time in November 2012 is not having this issue. I got the phone in Jan 2013...is it issue with only the new lots?
What google and LG are doing to address this issue?

Its the digitizer. I mean seriously why are y'all complaining about that, its normal.

Image Retention(?) On N4

I saw someone ask this in a nexus circle on G+ and though maybe it was just his device but a few people posted also claiming the same so tried it myself and noticed it also.
If you put your phone on max brightness and go to an app that leaves the logo on the screen like G+ in the upper left hand corner, imagine FB or whatever else will work the same, and stay there for about 2 minutes then switch to a dark screen(clock) the image is still visible in the corner. It stays there for a few minutes too, then its gone. Is this normal of IPS displays or even LCD for that matter? I mean its very circumstantial, you would have to at max bright and on that type of app for a long time and then to a dark screen to ever notice it but if you went longer under them conditions could it potentially burn in permanently?

This happens on my tablet (TFT LCD), but not on my Nexus 4. It shouldn't cause burn in, LCDs don't burn in

Hi there ! The one asking the question on G+ was me !
I'll post a video on youtube and open a poll about it here !
P.S. it seems that many people do suffer from the problem (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228013&page=4) Therefore I won't be making the video (I think)...
It happens to me all the time. Especially noticeable at night when using it in bed so it doesn't even have to be at maximum brightness.

Nice, I tried to search on my phone for the topic but for some reason search from the xda app never really gets me the same results as when I'm on my browser.

[Q] Display brightness issue

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?
Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.
Mine upper side screen seems brighter than below screen.. but this condition only happen when i use xda app set to dark theme..i thought the xda app the one that problem..not the phone...

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

Should this happen again, The vertical lines are solved by clearing cache/data in the camera app

The problem can not be seen in a screenshot. And the camera lines disappeared after a hard reset but came back soon after.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

Change from Adapt Display to Dynamic. Best thing to do to resolve the problem.

Dynamic? Hideous more like, my eyes can't stand any of Sammys over saturated pre presets, Movie is closest to normality I can find personally.

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.

Display of black weird

Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.
Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.
I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.
I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.
Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.
I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see
Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.
