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.

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.

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 don't know if these if happening on all our s2's.
basically, I noticed brightness goes down when displaying a lot of whites. e.g. google vs the whites in a page with more darker areas. (i don't think it's my eyes.)
I've never noticed this on my hd2, or any other phones.
when displaying google's in the browser, the white is not impressive at all.
another test i did was with an image I created (attached), half black half white. open in gallery and slide it so more black shows, or more white shows. The whole screen changes brightness!
My friend's S2 does the same.
can anyone confirm?

That's actually a power-saving feature you can turn off.
Go into Settings -> Display -> Scroll down and untick 'Auto adjust screen power'.

Its not.
Its definitely there irrespective of display settings.
Basically even when you are not moving picture, have a look near the border.
There is definite grey banding near the border. It kinda looks like white is bleeding into the black.
And its there on every SGS2, every single one. It can be hardware or software issue.
@OP. you are definitely not alone. I was actually having talk with my friends in UK. 6 of us now have SGS2. 2 are from O2, 3 from P4U and 1 from Handtec and mine is from Clove.
All are experiencing same thing. Its definitely not your eyes.
@others. Its not a glaring issue. You wont notice i t unless there is extreme contrast images on screen like this one. My dad still couldnt notice it when I was showing it to him. But its still there. Will upload video, but its hard to pick on video as well.
It's an option in the Display settings - auto adjust screen brightness after analysing image or something similar.
Samsung thing, I think, since my Omnia 7 with Windows Phone did exactly the same thing. It's trying to save you power and completely normal.

Thanks very much guys, I think I can accept it if it's all built like that. With that option off it really helped! (I feel a lil retarded now). But for some reason that test image I made still has that dimming effect (double tap it in the gallery, this instant change makes it obvious), but maybe that's normal, not fussed. (normal web browsing is perfect)
And no I didn't exchange any phones. Mine does have a dead pixel tho. Can anyone check their screens for dead pixels for me? I know someone had blue lines and stuff on their units, that's a bit drastic. I'm just wondering how many actually have say 1 dead pixel, so I have a better picture before I actually exchange mine or something.

Nah, no dead pixels or other screen issues here. If you have dead pixel, i would return it.
Here is the video, its not clear as camera limitations dont really show it properly, but at 720P you can see it for fraction of second, that is not the lens glare but screen turning grey right above the white border.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGr7xJ1JIjU
around 0:15-0-18 in that video.
As mentioned, its a power saving feature as AMOLED screens don't like whites as they drain power, they prefer blacks. So reducing the brightness helps to save battery.

I can see it grey in the video, almost like that gingerbread scroll limit effect. very hard to see in the video though, would have just said it was the camera.
Yea I'm considering returning. In my other post, I mentioned how Handtec got back to me. In short, not fault since only 1 pixel, but told me I can exchange/return within 7 days. But, they said since it's not a fault, I'll have to pay shipping both ways. (£28 per way, ouch)
Does that sound right??
Just a thought, could not the grey area when moving a black/white border area simply be the screen pixels taking a few milliseconds to go from completely dim, to grey, then to completely white, ie just a response time, albeit a bit slower than what I would have guessed?
On my SGS, going into a completely black app drawer with bright icons and moving around, it also has a very slight dragging effect on some white/black constrasting areas?
Hello all. I have a weird problem about some pixels on A501 screen: when the screen is on and the background is black, some of them will show "bright"... but not white, i'd say some sort of pale gold or very light brown, but again not white. With other backgrounds (red, blue, green, white) those pixels acts as normal, not being distinguishable from the others.
Is there something I could do? The issue is a lot more noticeable with 100% screen brightness.
Update: I sent the tab to service repair, and they sent me a new one. Guess what? Same problem again, right where it was on the old tablet!!
Definetely they are not stuck or dead pixel (I can say that because of the color of the pixel)
I was thinking, since I use a Tucano Youngster Case (http://www.tucano.com/shop/youngster-for-10-tablet-pc-1.html) which has a magnetic clip on the back, could this be the issue?? I'm going to try to take a photo at this pixel and attach it here.

Unfortunately pics won't show my pixels, they're just too small. However I tried passing another magnet (more powerful than the one on the case) both on the screen, with a direct contact, and on the back, where the case's magnet is located, but no other pixels got damaged. So I don't think the magnet is responsible... Does the iPad folder case has a magnet in direct contact with the screen too? If that's the case I believe that magnets don't affect screens at all (imagine iPad's owners complaints?).
What do you think?

Well, when I set my background as black, on this one and two other Android tablet I had, it sometimes show a short brown/gold line on the top left of the screen. Most of the time its not there thoough. So it just seems to be a software thing. Although I do not have any problem where pixels appears randomly throughout.

Can you get a pic, so I can try to say if we're talking about the same issue? However, my pixels are always there, even in the "Acer" and "Android" boot screen... so I doubt it's a software issue.
Just a heads up... Yesterday I got my 3rd Iconia, and guess what, same problem again. I think I will just live with it... but I'm extremely annoyed.
Does anyone knows what kind of problem can this be, with gold-coloured pixel only with black background?
You should load up the Screen Test app that sets all pixels to red, blue, green, black, white, etc. in sequence as well as displaying several resolution and gradient screens and see how those pixels react.
I bought one A500 that had bad Wi-Fi but all pixels were perfect. Exchanged it last weekend for a second one with working Wi-Fi and all the pixels are also perfect. I don't see any gold pixels.
I'll disagree with your statement "Definetely they are not stuck" in your second post because if they are always gold in all screens they are indeed stuck. Not stuck on white or black but still stuck on that one color.
Does this happen on all home screens or just one? I hope you can post a picture of some sort because I don't know where to look to see if mine has the same issue but, running Screen Test, I don't see any incorrect pixels in Screen Test.

Among three tabs they were in different numbers and position... however they were between 3 and 6, and in the middle (vertically speaking); horizontally, instead, i found them twice on the right half on the screen (volume keys up) but this last iconia I have right now they are on the left. I also managed to get some photo, I'll post them later.
EDIT: Unfortunately I forgot my camera's MMC at home... will get back there in 10 hours and post the photos. However I ran Pixel Fixer during the night (an app which alternates red/blue/green/white screens very fast) but the pixels were still there this morning.

I ran through all the colors in Screen Test and found only ONE bad pixel across the entire screen and it's only when the pixel is supposed to be blue; it's black instead. That same pixel is correct on all the other colors though.
Otherwise, at full brightness and on any color, they are all on correctly and off when the screen is set to black. I don't see any other colors as you describe.
If your screen is doing something similar across three different tablets, maybe it's something you are doing but I'm not sure what it could be.

Please note that this issue is present in the Acer and Android boot screen... what could I do wrong in that phase?
Ok, here's the photo. The three pixels are inside the white circle.
I just rebooted after setting display brightness to full and did not see what you see. I guess I'm no help. Sorry.
Hi,
Samsung S4 owners please help. Just received mine and everything looks good, however the screen has a red/burgundy tint on blacks in total darkness.
For testing I closed the camera lens and took picture so it's totally black, when you look at the picture in the dark it's not black and has red colos in it comparing to my Note ii and LG Optimus G.
If you have the same problem please post, so I can return it in two week period or switch for HTC ONE.
Thanks,
My screen is 100% black on darks. It looks like its completely off.

Confirming
Just back from 2 AT&T stores to check if demo S4 has the same problem, and confirming YES the blacks in total darkness is more like super dark dark red not 100% black.
The AT&T rep confirmed and said "If you don't like it, return it".
Also I found topic that covers this problem regarding red subpixels being active when displaying black , but the international version is fixed after firmware update.
So I think only US AT&T models affected with no fix for now.
Another thing I found is that if I scroll really fast on a black background there's a reddish haze on the screen.
Turn your brightness all the way down, go into a dark room, open settings, and scroll really fast up and down.
Does this happen to everyone else?

I Have the Sprint model and also experience this problem. There are several issues I have with this phone. Lag, software glitches, keyboard issues etc. And these occur on every S4 I have used which is several, none Exynos versions though. They rushed the release is what I think. They should have fixed the issues being compained about before release.

There is a long thread in the international S4 forum discussing this. There are two different screen problems, either red pixels are on when displaying blacks, or you get smearing on greys/purples over blacks. Samsung just released a firmware updste for the intrnational version that gets rid of the red pixels for those who had that issue, but it makes their screen smear. So no everyone has the smearing problem with tbe international version. Hopefully they can address the smearing problem with firmware soon. I can imagine some games being affected pretty badly by this issue.
Samsung S4 AT&T Version Red subpixels on black stay on.
See attached sample image. Easy to see in total darkness when brightness all the way down, red pixels visible on any black, picture, menu, web etc.. except boot logo.
The image made in total darkness, for black sample opened 100% black background.

I also have the red subpixels on my sprint sgs4
I had this on my first S4. My GF didn't on hers. I took it back to the store and they looked at me like I was crazy (didn't argue that fact).
Rep took it to the back to show manager and pull another phone and he told me that this was common enough that they got an email about it from HQ.
New unit didn't have the problem.
Not only are blacks with a redish tint, but another way to tell if the screen has this problem is press the menu button. Then, it is easier to tell a good screen vs a messed up screen because they are clearly a different color. Easier to show them that instead of minimum brightness, in a dark room, you can see it I swear kind of argument.
I wish I would have taken a pic to post the differences.

Thanks for reply,
So you just went to store and replaced bad one for good one? So maybe it's a first ones with this problem? I visited 2 different stores and demo units red as well, they said that all devices they have in stock is the same shipment 60 or so units. Will try next week.
Thanks again.

Yea, just head over to AT&T and swap it out. A display issue such as this is very rarely addressed in firmware and has to be replaced.
I replaced my unit yesterday no questions asked(kinda) as they're very aware of the myriad of issues some early devices have. Just don't use too much tech jargon like "pixels" "true black" "contrast ratio" etc. or you might get blank stares as I did lol. Good luck.
I have the T-Mobile version and have this also. I noticed it when I first turned it on. I had an S3 before so I know how black the AMOLED screens can get. I don't mind much since it's just when it's displaying blacks and I haven't seen it much except for boots. I think I have the smearing too but I just look at it as motion blur :silly:
Try turning off the auto brightness. My S4 does the same thing only when auto brightness is on.
does this happen on all models, random models, or only white/black models?
I'm curious to see if this is a potential side-effect of that semi-transparent digitizer (like the notification screen-glow thing that was mention in other threads).
I have these 2 very light yellow areas on my screen.
Here's the interesting part, they don't show up on screen shots. They also appear to be getting brighter.
A new screen is probably the only fix. But I'm curious of the cause. Any ideas?
I have included a sample of the issue.

If they are hot spots (bright white dots) then they are part of the screen and a new screen is the only issue.

If they are hot spots (bright white dots) then they are part of the screen and a new screen is the only issue.

I drew that because they do not appear on screen shots. Could the color be between the LCD and the digitizer?

The colour is because of a ****ty screen. @acejavelin mentioned in another thread that they are caused by compression for some reason. Don't know how that happens. Like @dzidexx said another screen is the only thing which can solve it. Or deal with it, I do not know how bad it is sorry

Defect rather looks like "Lights behind the closed door".
Do a black photo or jpg file. Look at it with different levels of brightness.
Sometimes it can be observed with other colours.
More photos of defected screens(not mine):

The last two pics are it exactly. Even though its a little annoying, I still love this phone!! Its the only issue I've had and I use it a lot. For everything. Between flashing, modding and every one of my boot animations has been made on this beast!
And thanks for all the input on this issue everyone.
And sorry to all those who suffer as I do with this affliction. Just kidding.
It's happening to me too. It's starting from the top right

Hardware !! Read the thread and you'll see it has been made clear it is hardware.
I have the same issue. If I press on the bezel next to the yellow area with my fingers the colors go back to normal until I release. Could this be caused by the screws inside being too tight?
I would disassemble my phone and try to unscrew them a bit but since the back cover is glued I'd rather not unless I'm sure that's it.

Sorry man I just didn't see the point of you stating it was happening to you when it didn't help diagnose the issue and it had already been said what the issue was.
Had the same thing with my phone and now with my laptop. Maybe I'm lucky

this is pretty typical for most lower quality lcd panels
