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.
Ive had this powerhouse of a phone for just under 16 Hours, Screen has only been used for around half an hour etc,
Ive just noticed some screenburn on the screen The four buttons - (Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Apps) are visible on the screen when I look at a grey-ish background (Such as the speedx initial bg). Ive been through 6 Galaxy S2s, Three of them had this issue - Is it me, or is this a bit weird? Phone screen on for only 30mins since it was factory shiny&new, and theres already light screenburn.
Is this a characteristic of SAMOLED Plus, or is this a faultly batch? (Im on my 5th replacement phone from Amazon due to various faults). It seems a bit weird, a phone thats cost near £475 inc has this kind of issue.
Thanks In Advance,
Aman.

It doesn't look screen burn as it looks coloured. it might be the app you are running has transparency.
afaik, OLED does suffer from screen burn like plasmas do - potentially, but not that quick!
Well, it can happen. After a month i started seeing the same thing when pulling down the notification bar. So it's not app related, cause i don't use other launcher, i can clearly see the shadow of the 4 icons for a few seconds when pulling down the notification bar. They disappear pretty quickly, i'm not that bothered about that.
Also notice even if you just got the phone the very first second the digital clock actually burns through the notification tray and slowly disappears, I think its a technology limitation on the SAMOLED+
hi i dont know if my post will help or not
put i have a samilliar proplem with my sgs2 screen
i have proplems with colors like grey and dark blue
i will attack photos for u to see if u have the same proplem with colors like me
and my phone is only 14 day old
i really dont know if the colors are normal or not
p.s: make ur display 60/100 to see the colors
on my sgs1 the screen was way better
the first two pics are of the grey color ( to see if u have the same like this pic open msg and write a messege there is an option to write sound messege click on it
it will show the same thing see if u have the same like me
and the third pic is of the home screen to compare see if there is something wrong with ur screen
also could some one please look at his device and my pictures so i can now if there is something wrong with my device
thanks alot in advance

Seems like a SAMOLED+ limitation as you say. I was just curious, it shouldnt bother me much whilst im using my phone normally.

I just got my screen replaced, because of the screen burn issue, had a violet patch on top left, right where the viber icon sits, wihc caused the pinkish tint screen. Got my screen replaced in under 20 mins at samung service centre in Mumbai.

If the screenburn gets really bad, I suppose i can always just use the 2yr Warranty I have on the phone to get the screen replaced. Waste of an invisibleshield though.
Considering the phone is less than a day old, the screen might go really weird in 2-3 months - Which is what im worried about.

I would have to agree that the S1 screen is was a better display even if did have a more jagged edges on the fonts.
I have a similar issue in the messaging app, but with the keyboard. If I 'enable'(/turn on/whatever) it then disable it, it's 'shadow' stays there for a couple of seconds. It is however not a permanent burn in, so I think it's just the screen's limitation and it doesn't really bother me as this screen is still by far the best I've ever used.

wouldn't that screw up video playback though? sounds more like a software bug
I turned the clock on the notification bar back to 24hr , as i read/saw the AM/PM can burn in as they are displayed a lot longer then the 24hr digits which move at least every hour.
I just discovered this issue last night. I had been noticing a few lines here and there on my regular usage and I thought it was just a defective screen. Through the use of Terminal's blue screen, I realized that it wasn't defective.
I have a car dock, and use PowerAMP in the car every day. As you can see above, those burn ins are the buttons in PowerAMP. I went to take a picture of my SGS2 with my N1, and while looking at the blue screen on my SGS2 through the display of the N1, I noticed the N1 had the issue too!
I'm trying to run JScreenFix now to see if it solves the problem, but I highly doubt it.
Will Samsung even honour the warranty for things like this?
I have an SGS1 of 1 year old and my SGS 2 bought in may. Side by side, I will never exchange my SGS2 for another SGS1. Screen quality (colours and details) is by far better on SGS2. No comparision
I also don't see any burn in in both devices (keybord test, status bar...). Maybe some defective devices around that you just should exchange
If you want to test your screen or anything on your phone type *#0*# into the keypad
If the burn don't show up on green blue or red then its something else
I also have the same issue. I can see shadow of the System task bar. It was quite vivid on RED and it shows as lighter blue on blue colour. And on white it became pale white. Bright yellow as well on yellow.
I've tried various things like put the screen on full brightness on Black and Red and blue but still have the shadow there.
I will see if i can get my warranty repair.
I just wanted to confirm that the SGS2 sure can have a Burn In, as it was declared before as "Burn In Proof".
I noticed it while playing the recently released Game "Osmos HD". The game's color temperature is pretty blue-dark, and thats where I can see a slight burn in of the Task Bar.
Afterwards I checked my screen with various LCD Test programs and BAM - with low brightness I see slight burn in of the whole task bar. I can even see the signal indicator, the battery percentage and the spot where the clock sits.
But its only visible at very low brightness and a blue-purple coloring.
I called my brother, who has the Galaxy S2 as well, and he directly went and checked with LCD Tester as well. He, too, reported to me that he also has a slight screen burn in of the task bar, tho its very tough to spot. I guess, if you dont know its there, u wont notice it.
We both have our SGS2 models now for roughly a year, and the screens already seem to decrease in quality and stability.
I am a fan of Super AMOLED+ color quality and contrasts, but my 2 bothers and me have all the yellow tint issue, tho its not very drastic, and all devices start to get kind of a permanent screen burn in.
Its really sad to see that the otherwise fabulous screens already show its age. I hoped that Samsung learned from the SGS1's issues and user feedback, but sadly, it seems like they kind of ignored the fact that the Super AMOLED cant take much action...
My girlfriends Desire HD's screen (which was my phone before I got the SGS2) is still showing good colors. Sometimes I think about getting an LCD device again...
I think what most posters in this thread are reporting is Samoled ghosting, ie image retention for a few secs. Its not permanent, unlike burn-in, which some people may experience after some months of usage.

No, its not ghosting at all.
The taskbar image thats burned in is from MIUI. And since I am running either and Sammy ICS Build or Androidmeda for a while now, this image must've been there for longer than I thought.
As I said, I just noticed it yesterday while trying out the Osmos HD Demo. And its clearly the MIUI taskbar. Must be there for more than a couple of days already.
No screen burn on my Galaxy S2! Btw, been comparing screen to iphone 4/4s and Galaxy S2 screen way better! You have to have some sort of "telescopic" vision to notice resolution advantige on 4s... Who anyway reads webpages fully zoomed out? LoL... With magnifyng glass?? Contrast and colors advantige is huge on galaxy side....

I dunno why u are now comparing with the iPhone 4/4s here, but thanks ;-)
For how long are you using ur Galaxy S2 now? Mine is running non-stop since a roughly a year now.
And yes, it seems like a permanent screen burn in on my end. Just checked again, same visibility of the probably weeks-old MIUI taskbar.
Guys, I have a terrible issue with my LG G2's screen. Apparently, it looks like it's gotten some annoying burn-ins, which look like white lines running across the screen. They aren't much of a problem for me, but they have got very annoying in recent time. And, it seems like they are becoming more prominent with time. Here are some pics in order to get a feel of what I'm talking about. Can it be fixed with a display tester app? Please help! This burn-ins are driving me nuts! Didn't pay so much for a flagship handset with screen issues. :crying:
By the way, these burn-ins are most evident on grey backgrounds, as shown in the screenshots with a plain grey wallpaper.

This is very strange.
I was under the impression that LCD screens could not get burn-in.
Maybe what you are experiencing is not burn in.
One of the reasons why i came to this phone because i have had the galaxy s2 with LED display and i got status bar burn in as i have noticed happens to many people with led displays. AMOLED included.
Dont quote me on this but Im pretty sure it must be the reflective foil getting too close or tearing on the back of the LCD at a pressure point. Did your phone LCD take in impacts/heavy pressure or anyoone sit on it?

No, not at all. I take great care of my device. Not once has it fallen, nor be treated with pressure on the screen. Once, my mother happened to sit on my brother's G2, however, but he didn't experience any issues whatsoever. At least no similar burn-ins as on my device.
Weird, get warranty replacement then, still sure its probably the reflective layer, but hard to say what else could cause it to warp, since you say it hasnt suffered any abnormal usage.
I have this problem as well, especially in Hangouts since it's grey in color. Not really a big deal though, as it goes away a few seconds later. Now if it sticks, then that's a problem.

Those weird lines seem to stick. But, I wouldn't want to mess with replacement units, warranty repair etc. If it gets too annoying to handle, my first approach would be the display tester app. Plus, these "burn-ins" are less prominent (almost invisible) in outdoor lighting and do not tend to appear as much (or at all) on different backgrounds than grey.
Hi. I'm not sure when this appeared, but now with the Android L update it's extremely noticeable (well to me it is) because of how the status bar changes its color according to what's on screen. As you can see in the pictures the smudge isn't visible when the background is pure white. I know this may not seem like anything to worry about, but it annoys the living hell out of me. Thanks in advance.
It looks like a hardware defect. Have you tried going back to pure stock to see if there is some sort of app interference? If you have, then it is most definitely a hardware defect.
Already tried it. It looks like you're right :/. Thank you.
@kittymoonstah,
I have the same black smudge at my N4. I have noticed it couple months ago (maybe it was there since the beginning but haven't noticed it).
It has nothing to do with lollipop, I also believe that is hardware related... maybe some devices have this problem (faulty hardware) while other don't...
I know that it's not related with Lollipop. I just said that it was more noticeable now because of the multicolored status bar. I just checked my phone and the freaking smudge is GONE...Could it be due to the device heating up?

Yeah, i also have this smudge on top of the display. I don really care, the end is near for my N4
That was exactly what I was thinking. The smudge could be due to heat produced by the phone. Do whatever you have to do to keep the device cool, because the top area of the display is roughly above the SoC, which under heavy tasks can produce lots of heat.
Thanks! Appreciate it.
same here, I noticed it first when I installed android L test version
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.
