Screen Burn-In

Wow. I didn't notice until today but the status bar icons and time are showing signs of screen burn-in. I didn't even know this was possible with LCD screens. I can clearly see them with a dark blue full screen wallpaper. This is absolutely horrible.
Check yours too, people!

I tested with a blue screen. Phone is 4 months old. I don't have any burn-in screen problem.

Ive noticed it few months ago, and ive never used brightness more than 50%..

Not many believe so, but there's no problem getting burn-in on LCD. It's harder than OLED of course. Just look at the commercial LCD screens all over town and you'll see a lot of burn-in's...
The thing im baffeled over is that you managed to get burn-in on your phone. That means you have your screen on A LOT...

its display problem guys i had it 2 months ago..i showed it in service center nd got screen replacement since i had warranty.. u guys should do same if u have warranty and make sure to show them those pictures cause that problem doesn't always appear on screen.. sometimes it disappear..

Yeah, it's been ten hours guys. My phone's screen has been off for 9.5+ hours during this whole time. I can still see it.
It's also easy to spot when I pull the notification shade down. That's just... Horrible. I bought mine online so sending it for a replacement is out of the question. I can't live without a smartphone for a couple of weeks (minimum time with such grievances).

AFAIK lcd's don't truly get burn in but they persistence which should eventually fade. I'd imagine a defective screen is something acompletely different though.

It's usually ghosting on LCD. It should be reversible. Maybe play some movies or something.

This is kind of concerning and sad to hear. I traded my Nexus 6 for a G4 because I didn't want to deal with burn-in anymore (Moto X 2013 user). I hope I don't ever run into that problem or that the warranty covers it.

Same problem here... I just bought my G4 3 months ago...

i had sadly the same problem and made a tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/screenburn-t3152109/post63428991#post63428991
Solved just by sending it back 2 my provider
(i had the device for 2 a 3 weeks) so i got i new one

Got to say, I've had my G4 since May 2015 and have no screen problems.

Just picked up a used LG G4 off Craigslist yesterday, guy had it for a month and was proven from Sprint themselves. Have been noticing screen burn or whatever you want to call it. Can notice it when you pull the notification panel down, and you can see a red tint.
This sucks lol! I'm trying to screen-burn tool off the playstore and will try it for the full 8 hours it says tonight and report back.

Bought my G4 June 05 of 2015. Keep the brightness at a steady 80%. No sign of burn in at all.
It bootlooped to Hell but no burn in.

SAME HERE!!!
It is possible with LCD though , I have SOny Xperia z2 before , but it never have such issue , so when i got my g4 and got this issue at first i thought it was a defective unit. So , i replace a panel under warranty , but then the problem appears again then i realized its the quality of the panel lg used. Lg need to fixed their panel really seriously as it happened since G3 .Now with the LG G5 having the always-on features i believe that the problem would be more serious as with 30 minutes non-stop screen on time with current G4 already appeared such issue, imagine always-on for G5.......

If you turn the phone off can you still see anything? If so it's definitely burn in or something like it. This is news to me, I thought LCDs were immune.

I got sensitive touchscreen problem, ghost touches, burn-in and now bootloop. Now to sent it repair, buy a new smartphone to wait it come back, get it back, see it's still not totally fixed, send it back again. This phone is **** ?

Phone came with a scratch.

Hi.
Just wondering if this happened to anybody.
I just got a brand new phone and when I cleaned the screen to put a new protector I realized there is a hairline scratch that is seen only when passing the light over it.
Nothing is seen with the protector but I think I should replace it anyway.
What do u think?
Thanks.

I would replace the phone. Who can tell if you really see a "scratch" only or if the glass was stressed during the assembly? What if your screen cracks out of nowhere and you cannot get a refund because Google / Huawei thinks that it´s been your fault?

Yea. Your right.
God dammit. Waited for a week to get this phone and now I have to wait another two weeks for it to be sent back and forth.

Take a picture of the device.
Send it back.

Did you purchase directly from Google? They'll send you an advance replacement unit, then you send the faulty unit back, so you won't be without a phone. I had to go through this process eight times.

Yeah, I've received units all with faulty displays (tinting), a couple with faulty power buttons, and one with a funky CPU. This unit has tinting too but I've realised that I'm not going to get one without it (it's due to the manufacturing process with AMOLED displays), this one isn't quite as bad as the others so I'm not going to take my chances on getting a worse replacement.

Tinting is when the colour is uneven across the display. So when viewing whites or greys you'll have yellow sections/stripes/blotches.

Jeez 8 times! I've purchased 2 6P's and neither one of them had any tinting. All uniform here.

Didn't have that with my screen. Had a scratch though.

I have a few dents around the plastic part at the bottom of the back of the phone and I just kept it even though I also have display issues. I've had the phone for 2 months now, so it's too late to swap anyway

What went wrong with my Nexus 6p?

Hey Guys,
I noticed something strange with my phone this morning and it has gotten progressively worse throughout the day. Has anyone encountered something like this? Originally this started off with a large set of vertical green pixels (as seen in the first picture). Then a further degrading of this with purple blotches as seen in the 2nd pic, and I'm pretty sure my display is dead now as I can swipe up and feel the haptic feedback but can't see anything on the screen.

The phone isn't bent in any way so I'm guessing that the connection inside the phone went bad. I know a repair guy who is pretty handy but I want to see if anyone knows what I am up against.
Thanks!

My phone is under extended warranty and I had the same/similar issue.
I didn't see it happen but my screen was dark and I could not get it to display anything.
I shipped in and they sent a replacement.

Hello definitely a hardware issue. At least I already seen this before and the screen was dead. My wife used to have an LG G2 and it displayed those weird purple smudges all over the screen after one of our daughter crushed it walking on the device.
Do you eventually sit on chairs with your phone in your back pocket?
Good luck...

I'm definitely not under warranty as I bought this 2nd hand off eBay. Was someone's phone that had the Google Account lock on it that I bypassed.

I wouldn't buy a phone 2nd hand off Ebay. I hear to many bad things. Use Swappa in the future brotha!
That is most certainly a defective digitizer. I'm guessing a stress was placed to the digitizer at some point or heat/cold maybe?

Bought it for $400 in Jan 2016 when it was 3-4 months old since someone didn't know how to bypass the Google Factory reset lock. Most other 128GB were going for $650+ at the time. Ebay/ Swappa would have ended up in the same place regardless. I don't blame Ebay for this experience but I have not bought many phones from them regardless. At least 6+ purchases on Swappa and all have been great. Taking to my local repair guy who I trust very much who quoted me for $195 to do the work and replace the board which is worth it to me.

This ironically has been in a Supcase Unicorn Beetle case since day 1. I am guessing that the phone being on the larger side of my front right pocket definitely has pressure put on it which likely caused this.

Replaced H918 display, now flickers very noticeably

I have two H918s. A while back, I broke the screen on one, which is why I bought the second. Today, I did the repair on the first using a replacement display (which came complete with a frame). Powering it on after the repair, I notice significant screen flicker that makes the device unusable. Is this something others have encountered after doing a repair? Or did I just buy a faulty screen?
Edit: A few hours later, the flickering stopped completely. Don't know what it was, but it's all good now. Thanks.

Where did you got the screen to buy?
Links?

I noticed my H910 did that on the stock pie setup screen, I think it's because it's hot lol

Send it back for repair if its under warranty.

Yes and the best part. I have never seen such fast replacement approval on flipkart.
May be flipkart is also know.
Just single question for return and replacement approved.
I never find replacement on flipkart so easy.

I kept all low by setting 60 fps display no vibration.
Anyways new update. Display also flickering now.
May be mine is defective.
Even Flipkart didn't even ask simple question for replacement directly approved. May be they also know about the device.
