I have had my nexus 7 for around 3 months now and have noticed that there appears to be a frozen image of the white elements of my home scree that are slightly but permanently visible. It is quite faint but I have noticed that things like the digital clock, and the white notifications are always visible. Sometimes even with the chrome Web browser get stuck being visible on the home scree. Is this a problem that others have and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
does it appear while taking a screenshot? if not, its the pixels burnt into the display if you left the screen on the same picture for too long.
Hi guys,
I have noticed in the dark when using my note 3 in the settings menu the bottom portion of my screen seems to be grey not black. At first I thought maybe this was a software issue so I took a screen shot and zoomed in. When viewing the photo zoomed in the entire screen is grey ish with lines (normal lines had on all amoled screens) When moving the image the greyness does not move which to me says its the screen. However! When using a pixel tester and putting a pure black picture up the screen is perfectly black.
Ideas or thoughts?

That's the way Touchwiz and Gingerbread was originally designed and Samsung kept it this way. This is completely normal and is the software. It's not an issue. It is the same way on my Note 3,Note 2 and Galaxy S II.

Since last week I am seeing horizontal banding (dark/light banding) on the screen, this is very notable on white backgrounds/low brightness.
Not sure if this is a result of screen burn in, any body seen any thing like this? Is this a hardware issue?
Hi 2 All,
I have galaxy s4 installed offical 4.4.2, when i open setting or task manager in very dark place, i saw abnormal brightness in background.
i thinks it should be black as it is amoled.
is it normal or serious?

Open a completely black image. Download a solid black JPG from google as your test. Do the same thing with a completely white image.
Look at those images in full screen mode.
If there is burn in (which CAN happen on an LED screen, though it's actually pixel fading rather than burn in) you should be able to notice it with this test.
If you see fading in the white image, or general non-uniformity in the brightness, it's a sign of fading. (burn in)
If you see a ghost image in the black image, then something is wrong. It means the screen is lighting up when it shouldn't be.
You should not be able to see a residual image on a black screen like you used to with an old CRT computer monitor. The burn is doesn't work that way. What happens is the pixels lose some of their brightness over time. It's subtle, and if the screen is fading uniformly you probably won't notice. But when 1 spot isn't fading, you notice it quickly. This is most commonly seen with the status bar. If it's always black and the area right beneath it is always colored, then the black status bar wont' fade and the rest of the screen will.

Thanks Sir,
actually it was lcd problem
So I recently noticed a thick but light band running vertically through the center of my screen
Is this normal for this phone? It's only visible on dark gray backgrounds and its still so light you can hardly see it, but it is noticeably there.
I don't want to rma for a refurb and I can live with it but I don't want this to be the sort of issue that gets worse with time.
