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.
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.

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.
I have a speck of light coming out of the C on the HTC logo on top of my screen coming from the screens backlight. I didn't notice it until I was using my phone in complete darkness.
I check 2 other EVO's and they both don't have this issue. Am I the only one?
I don't have the issue. Doesn't seem too serious though.

No, I don't think it's a big issue, I was just wondering if I was the only one.
Think ur def the only one
*This was posted from my Evo 4G*
I have this issue too, but the speck of light comes from near the side of the phone rather than the logo. What did you do to solve it? I'm thinking of putting either electrical tape or paint on it, because it is annoying and distracting.

Turn the light on. LOL
Seriously, if it only happens when in complete darkness, then it's nothing to worry about. But I understand bro, because it's one of those things that once you notice it, it will hunt you for life.
can anyone help i dont know why the upper part of the screen in white screen is darker than the rest and have something like twitter app i don't know what is this is anyone know thing about it ?
I think that is called a screen burn. It happens after a few years of use generally. It means that your screen is slowly dying.

She is working fine but it's annoying is that mean she is going to die or what I'm using the brightness at lowest and i tried the app screen burn-in i think it's working ??
Wouldn't the always on screen burn the pixels on the screen? What you guys think?
It's not fixed to one location, it moves around in timed intervals to prevent burn in.
I understand, but the navbar ( in other phones with amoled) is not on all the time and it gets burned on the screen too. I dont know I guess if there is and option I will turn it off

I haven't experienced any screen burns with my s5 and up. My phone's are always brightness all the way up.

Yup, nav bar is high contrast and fixed position on the screen. Hence the reason Samsung continues to use capacitive buttons. I don't think the always-on feature will cause burn in, since it jumps around.

I think some people are overly paranoid about burn in (not that there's anything wrong with that). I have had the S3, S4, S5 and the Tab S and never had any issues with burn in.
Good, maybe u didnt notice, i had s6 note 5, note 4 all of them had burnin
They have always on displays in stores look at the phones all of them have burnins even the s6 note 5's
Super Amoleds get but ins thats the type of technically they are , they are beautiful the best displays, but the pixel's degrade.
This is why I just can't commit to phones with AMOLED screens. These are too expensive to have issues such as burn in a different whatnot. I know the technology is improving but burn in still exists.
Never had burn in with any of my phones with amoled. Non issue for me.

My Galaxy 2 got burn in within a few months. My Nexus 6 got it in about three days.
It's depressing to see more and more phones moving to AMOLED.
No, because the screen content moves periodically preventing it happening.

No it's not, AMOLEDs are awesome. As long as you don't use your phone 24/7 at full brightness and display static images on it all the time, burn-in won't be an issue. It's not something that happens willy nilly.
Not this argument again.
The navigation bar seems to have burned into my screen. I can still see it when I'm turning the phone on and when an app goes fullscreen. (Dimmer then it usually is. Mostly on grays.) Hopefully it'll just go away on it's own. I'll update this tomorrow if it went away or not.

I haven't yet seen this. But I would recommend using the one button nav option in the moto app. Life changing

I'm using Resurrection Remix. Not the stock ROM.
I have seen screen burn in my brothers Moto G4 plus he still has the problem
Yup, burn in still there.
It's dimmed now. It's still there but you can barely see it.
No burn in problems here. I've been using one button nav since I got it though.

If it's not as noticeable now, then it probably isn't burn in. Burn in occurs on LED panels, not LCD (which this what this phone has). Historically, this has been a problem with Samsung and their AMOLED screens, not with IPS LCD screens.
