This can't be a serious question? How can we see "Screen Burn" on an internal image screenshot

I had this issue due to using waze 3-4 hours a day.
Only way to fix was to get screen replaced under warranty. I'm still weary in using waze again though.

Lol why are you providing a screenshot? screenshots won't show screen issues, they're internal images.. ._.
On that note, no "tool" is going to fix this, since you had to open *#0#* to even notice this, it's not a problem - if it becomes a problem and you have warranty they'll change it.

How the hell are we going to see a hardware issue on a software screenshot?
That said, mine appears to have it too in the test menu.. Looks more like something intentional if you ask me. I have had the notification bar set to transparent since day 1. (As such there is no possible means by which it could have burned in.)

100% CPU usage and touchscreen glitching?

I've got a rooted EVO and often run into a problem of CPU usage as reported by system monitor spiking to 100% while idle. CPU clock speed stays low however, around 400-500 Mhz but continues to run at 100% until I force close all apps.
This sometimes happens around the time I use 4g in conjunction with wireless tethering to my laptop, but has happened out of the middle of nowhere too.
I use Swype keyboard and it gets messed up when this happens. When dragging between letters the trace goes way off the screen and inserts random characters.
I've tried several different ROMs, Fresh and AVA-Froyo but I get the same problem.
Hm, that's is odd. Another user was talking about 100% CPU usage with 4G on too..so without 4G on how does your phone act?
if it goes away when you force close all apps. go through and close each app separately and wait a minute or 2 in between to see if it clears up. you should be able to find the exact app that is causing the problem then because anything anyone can tell you right now would be a guess in the dark as it is obviously some app you have on your phone causing it.

When I press on the very bottom of the screen (edge of the glass), it acts as a click to about 1/3 the way up the screen. This is annoying by its self (and doesn't seem ROM related) but also my screen sometimes locks up, with a point at about 1/3 the way up the screen, and horizontally in the middle, and I can't do anything until I lock the screen and leave it off for a second. More recently, but related to this issue, the keyboard when typing hasn't been accurate. I've tried to type 'a' but got caps or 'q' instead, and I get letters I didn't press.
This is not ROM related, as it started happening on CM6 about a week ago, and I've flashed Ava V9, Myn's 2.2, FrEaKy Evo, and CM6, and I have tried stock kernels, and Kings. It seems to lock up more when plugged in also. I've been watching the forums and I haven't seen anyone else post about this, is it just me? It seems very hardware related, but if there is a fix for it that someone knows about, please let me know.
If I get around to it I might take a video of what I'm talking about, but probably only if it's requested.
I'm currently running Myn's Two-Point-Two with King's CFS #11 and am still getting the issues. I've rebooted, and wiped cache/dalvik, flashed new roms, reflashed, nothing.

I am having the exact problem, except that the spot that keeps getting phantom clicks is at the very top of the screen, so the drop down bar starts freaking out. I downloaded the program 'dotty' and it is showing that a touch is being registered in the expect spot, so I'm pretty sure it is just an issue with the screen hardware. I want to take it to a sprint store and see if they can replace just the screen instead of getting a brand new phone because I have so much stuff downloaded on it and I don't want to lose data/settings.
It happens a lot, but then I will have days at a time that it stops happening...its just very strange.
Its good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Currently running rooted stock froyo. unrevoked forever. Original June 7th release device.

W/q? what are you talking about there?
also the light bright spot is completely unrelated: evo developing a light spot in middle of screen
Screen burn possibly due to overclock
Bright spot in the lower right of screen
I downloaded dotty, and it's saying my spot is at:
X: 159.6
Y: 363.5
and P which I'm assuming is the size of the area being touched at .937.
I tested P and it does seem to be how big of an area you're touching but the biggest that I could get using my thumb was only .235, so it's a huge area and constantly in the same spot. Some times it gives me two points or one a bit up and to the left.

ICS in Note
After upgrading to ICS via kies,
Battery seems to drain very fast.
Camera hangs up sometimes and other camera related apps like Instagram also but maybe the pic quality is little better.
It seems to crash when some other apps runs too.
Not sure if it was there before but I can pause music and video if I show my palm on the screen.
The screen rotates faster than in GB with a pause at the beginning though.
News fonts are good.
Window animations are good but still dont' know how to stop it since it might be draining battery fast.
Can use Chrome now and it's fast.
I cannot use Mass Storage Mode. I recieve a "Ui stopped to work" error.
I am facing,
1. High android OS usage. Sometime its higher than Brightness, and most of the time its highest usage of batt after brightness. (I read somewhere, it said its calculation errors, but I think its not, cause my battery no longer last that long.)
2. Camera will sometimes fail to operate. I really dunno what is wrong with that.
3. Phone just cant go into deep slp. Its being kept awake by some apps (Which I cant narrow it) Using BetterBatteryStats, I found out its I2_HSIC. (Whats this I2_HSIC ??)
I am using a 5400mAh mugen batt. previously on GB, my usage can last me 24hrs, now it can only last 16hrs or less. I installed lesser apps, and lesser widgets. Disable account sync and google backup. Settings more or less kept the same.
Overnight my batt can reduce by 21%, it never happened before. lol. ICS...

I have a bug I have not seen mentioned.
Occasionally, usually about 1 time per day, My phone display will start to flash, with random green and red colors. The screen I'm on, will flash those colors then star to shake and slide.
It looks like a television station not tuned quite right on an analog antenna (if anybody remembers that!)
I can't reproduce it regularly, but It think it has happened when going from an Application, back to the home screen using the home button.
I am on ICS, Taiwan, stock, not rooted.

I can get the screen back by just waiting it out. Usually takes about 2 minutes. I sure do wish I knew what was happening, though, so I could confirm no damage was being done.

As far as #2 goes, go to your battery stats and see if "media" is listed. If so, force close it and try again. Seems to work for me. I'm not sure if it is just me or not because I have been playing with settings lately, but the media scanner tends to run wild it seems (also seems to lend to battery drain).
I am just disappointed that they left out some of the nice features of ics like the updated gallery and camera. Seems kind of lazy to me and no wonder things arent working well if they are mix and matching gingerbread and ics rather than going all in and starting development from there. I would definitely go back to using one of the non tw ics roms if it weren't for the sod issues I was having...

-i have enabled 'face unlock' and sometime it will not respond at all so keep doing lock/unlock till get restored.
.......and I am unable to find s-note application, i tried under system/app as well but as don't know apk name not sure. can someone help pls.

I also got that green bands screen you describe. I held down the lock button til the phone rebooted. I think I was using the Dolphin Browser at the time.

1. Poor battery.
2. Sync errors: calendar sync freezes up every once in a while
3. Brightness slider in notification bar gone, tasker can not effect change of brightness anymore, only choice is to keep automatic brightness on, otherwise blinded out in sun.
4. Contacts and phone apps show up in 5s or more to load: need to switch to those ugly dialers, no choice at all
5. No widgets menu in app drawer as in nexus ICS
6. Launchers freezing: tried both nova and apex: many a times the screen went blank for a few seconds after hitting home (didn't crash though)

HTC One 4.2.2 update pros and cons

I updated my ONE to 4.2.2 around 3 days ago. Needless to say its a pretty cool and major update. Still some observations..
Mentioned in Update Changelog
DayDream
Improved menu button
Notification Bar
Quick settings
AE|AF lock
Back buton = start of Blinkfeed
Some of the good stuff which wasnt mentioned in the log
Gallery has removed the extra step to go to events,albums etc
App drawer animation is waaay smoother
Dynamic contrast now doesnt flicker the screen [I think]
If you have multiple types of numbers stored for a contact, it comes up in small just above the message from the type the message has come
Some of the Issues I found
Normal mode in camera produces a blue tinge in the view finder
BoomSound volume is a little lesser
Power saving mode has degraded. Or maybe the brightness level has been increased. Something has changed in that
One more - I got Wechat preinstalled after this update!
Any of you facing any issues?
I saw nothing wrong with the camera.
But i hav one priblem since 4.1.2 the keyboard flicker sometime, does anybody hav this also??
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Can someone who has 4.2.2 comment as to whether there is still a waiting period when sending group messages? What I mean is that when you send a group mms message, there is a small popup with a blue circle that says "Please wait..." Is that still the case? Thanks.
I can confirm too that boomsound sounds a little lesser. and the camera I tested In a bright sunny day, in the screen is something (better I think) and them the picture taken is a little warmer.
The sky quality even in sunny day have a very bad quality. its like 8bit blue color.
my sound isnt as loud anymore and i think my battery got worse, i get 1 hour less screen time -_-
Sound is down for sure but my guess is that some people blew their speakers with very loud files I assume this is a "fix"
Power saver mode doesn't work after update.... Seriously need to fix it soon

cons:
- proximity issue
- crackling noise during call

Yeah proximity issue. Once a call starts, suddenly the screen would go black and I have to toggle the power button to turn it on. And when you do that, it wont turn off i.e the proximity wont work.
I have no issues with the camera, seems very good still to me...I get the proximity issue though it seems intermittent, I don't really use the speakers to be fair so not sure about the difference there. They still kick the crap out of any other phone I've heard so can't complain! I also think my battery isn't as good as it was though I'm getting there with it. Think the settings are just a little different. I did notice that there seem to be two auto-brightness settings by default if you tap the brightness in quick settings there is a bright and a dim auto-brightness by the looks of it to me.....might be wrong (and I dont mean powersaver auto-brightness, that is lower again!)
Since the 4.2.2 update, my wifi takes between 2-4 attempts before it successfully connects to my d-link router, i also have an Huawei router and it`s the same, before the update it only took one attempt
Also the new drop down setting list, wifi, bluetooth ect. where is the GPS one.
John.
Videos didnt work after update
I have videos downloaded in my videos folder wich were running fine before ota 4.2.2 update. but after update video extension were not supported anymore.
i am running htc stock videoplayer only
Battery... battery took a hit, and not a small one.
I'd say 20% is just gone... and "Kernel (Android OS)" looks to be the bad guy who's ****ing things up.
battery life has gone down
Worth noting that I had massive wakelocks from 7 Digital so disabled that and my battery seems better already.....

Mine went down for the first couple of days but now seems to have settled down and if anything is slightly better.
Seems the battery needs to recalibrate over a few charge cycles.

Also i think it takes more time to charge now..
As people mentioned, battery might need 3-4 cycles to recalibrate...
And yes dynamic contrast flickering has stopped. Screen doesn't into an infinite loop trying to adjust the brightness on a white background screen. Need more confirmation though..

Battery is horrible, I got my update about a week ago and no improvements. In fact, after first charge since 4.2.2 battery was EXCELLENT. But since then, it's awful. Power saving mode is not working, I had it on all the time because phone would overheat in these temperatures. (40+ degrees).
I am seriously thinking about rooting my phone and installing Paranoid Android on it, I love Sense but 4.2.2 just made the phone worse in my opinion
The only thing that's keeping me from moving it's the boom sound + beats audio.

we have a notification led

apologies if this is old news, but I found out this am that we have an led on our phones! I have the 64gb version.
When I woke up, the phone was dead (let the battery die overnight), when I plugged it in to the turbo charger (off, and dead) an led lit up on the top of the phone (not sure where, I was half asleep) it was green, and very clear.
I've tried a couple play store led tools, nothing can make it light up, I'm tempted to let it die again just to see it light up.
hope we can play with it when lollipop goes live.
I suspected this since they found one in the nexus 6, I doubt we get to touch it without root.
i hate led notifications since moto display came out. never can go back.
I like active display but I REALLY like having a notification led.. I miss it.. I love being able to specify different colors for different contacts, apps, etc.. It would be great to be able to have access to both active display and a notification led..
I could be wrong, but I dont recall seeing any mention of an LED when watching the Turbo teardown video.
You sure you werent dreaming?

If he was, we had the same dream. I saw it too when my batter was dead and I plugged the charger in. To me it seemed smaller than the notification light on the S4.

One does exist, believe it is the same as the one in the moto x: http://www.droid-life.com/2014/01/0...notification-light-hidden-under-the-earpiece/ . It only shows when there is not enough battery power to illuminate the display when charging to show the battery icon.
new to me, thats awesome hopefully we can make use of it! I miss color coding my LEDs to each app, it was great for knowing instantly what kind of notification I had by just glancing at my phone across the room.
I have a moto maxx with root. Gonna tey the Nexus 6 way and see if it works.

I cant stand the onscreen notifications. Bugs the crap outta me. There are times where I dont look at my screen for hours. Just from a battery life angle the led flashing has to use less battery than the on screen notifications.

Ud be suprised at how very little battery life it takes for the Moto Display, if u have GSam battery app u will see it uses less then a percent on each charge. So that means out of your total 100% battery only 1% or less goes to the active notification.
I'd like to use active display but apparently I disabled it.... Anyone know where I can enable it? Or does it only work with slide to unlock option? Leaving your phone vulnerable to snoopers. (I'm using pattern to unlock)
Display (not sure if active or not) is in the "moto" app. Under settings or moto icon

I was using it with pattern, and now I use it with PIN.
Go to Settings->Moto
Click on Display in the lower right. There should be a check mark next to Moto Display on the next screen. That's also where you select which apps display on it, and whether or not you want notification details available.

[TIP] Reduce screen burn in on your LG G5

I had problem of "screen burn in" on my LG G5 and I tried different apps which reduce the burn in for time being but they didn't solve the issue.
Recently I tried "turning off the always on display" and I have noticed that the screen burn in is reduced by 80% I can barely see the burn in previously I was able to clearly see the burn in.
Also don't let your phone get too hot like really hot, burn in is maximum when the phone is very hot.
Hope these tips help you.
P.S. Please try these tips and post replies if they worked for you.
Wish it would help bit doesnt... Since day 1 always on is turned off and the phone doesnt get too warm... It`s the brightness or whatever that causes this
My friend just change theme and after that dont have burn in effect. You can try
I think the burn effect is caused by blue subpixels, so you need to lower the brightness of these. I'm using the built in color control in cyanogenmod but you can use an app like CFlumen or Twilight, Blue Light Filter, etc. I had no more status bar icons stuck.
Yes it mostly happens to me in summer/high degrees also when the phone over heats

I most def wont call it burn cause burn stays on almost all the screens this is never on white black. Just at random times. More like when screen animations are happening
I just use Blue Light Filter (Dev is hardy infinity). I've been using it for the past 7 months or so ..solved all my issues with the screen . If I turn it off, I have very bad images retention. Works perfect. Install and forget it's there.

If you are rooted you can set bgr by installing some kernel. If you are using custom rom, you can just set colors in color calibration to 90% (all three). For people with no root, use blue light filter and thats it..

I just use Blue Light Filter (Dev is hardy infinity). I've been using it for the past 7 months or so ..solved all my issues with the screen . If I turn it off, I have very bad images retention. Works perfect. Install and forget it's there.

Hello. What about nav bar? I have been using an app called sFilter bluelight app and it clearly removes image retention except the navigation bar, that one you say can help me with this?

Unfortunately can't touch the NAV bar. Change it to Black color to have less effect.

Use Night screen (Paper airplane dev team).
change to system overlay mode.
It'll cover the whole screen including the navbar

my screen got a really bad case of image retention so i set the slider at about 80% (far to the right).
even with maximum brightness i don't get image retention anymore.
If you reboot the phone it wont automatically start by itself. you have to manually turn it on again.

This is the best recommendation I have read on this issue for a long time. This app works like a charme. Perfect for everyone struggling with image retention on his lg g5. And you even don't have to change the colors. It just lays a mask over your display and that's it. :good:
