I have bought this device and now when i close messenger screen copies some places, like screen burn, but seller tells me, this is not screen burn, you only need change wallpaper. This is screen burn? or not? Or what i can do? sorry for my bad english...
It is, but it can be fixed. Search, there are a couple of threads on the issue.

You can use the app called Ghost Screen on Google play. It somehow can reduce the screen burn but can not fix it all. Deal with it like myself
Thank friends
I'm using messenger many times, i have finded messenger black mod and it's good.
I started getting nervous about this a few days ago when I noticed ghost icons still showing in the status bar when I would swipe down... It does go away on its own.. but what Helped me use using a darker theme so those pixels are off more often..

When I chose calendar, i got a black pixel on the calendar bar (gray bar, just under the black start bar)...and when I choose Excel or contact, it's gone...but they are same gray background...
Doesnt make sense...my display passed all colors on PocketLCD ???!!!
and my two "stucked pixel" at Contacts are exatcly the same spot as the ones in the GSMARENA screenshot review...this is weird !!!
Anyone care to explain ? Do u have the same behaviour too?

I can at least confirm this. Same pixels occur on my device. No explanation to this here.

Same here on the contacts screen.
I've got the same, and looking at screenshots on the web, it seems specific to the HD.
ie this diamond shot seems OK:

but HD not:
http://i.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/htc-touch-hd/sshots/extra/gsmarena_004.jpg
Yep, got this on my HD too, weird. Perhaps a quirk of the HTC customisations?
i have a dead pixel too when i start my camera. it's strange because the same dead pixel does not appear when doing something else.
i can also confirme the 2 stuck pixels in contacts manager.
strage ....
I'm not going to look for it - if I see it once, it will annoy me every time I look up a contact.
Sounds a curious little feature though.
Yup had this problem once when i installed GSEN had to delete it because it cause my screen to display a dead pixel when their was none. so try uninstalling programs which might be causing it.
Regarding GSen, that is their way of showing the GSen app is running, small white pixel top dead center of the screen. If you soft reset you'll notice its gone until you re-launch GSen again.

Then, we need a new ROM to fix this issue... I wont be bother since it's a SW issue not HW one...
I have the same dots in contacts, doesn't look like dead pixels, otherwise it would have shown on the snowpicture on fullscreen.
its just some lame graphics issues when they made it.. dont worry
I've got the same thing, but it doesn't look like a pixel problem. I hadn't noticed it before, now I can't ignore it anymore
Pixel
Hi,
i just recognized a blue pixel on the screen when i start the cam .
So i downloaded a tool called "smartUDPixel" to check the screen for dead pixels BUT everything looks fine.
What`s going on? Why`s the blue pixel only shown by using the cam? Any reason for that?
Thx for your feedback.
Stefan
I have one white pixel that shows up in while in camera mode and shooting a dark scene. Strange however as its not visible in any other programs.
Same here too addition to one black pixel dead appears when the screen on blue color :S
If you can capture it, it won't be dead pixel on LCD.
Hi
The pixels as per the original poster is something to do with the WVGA resolution I think as I see the same thing on the Topaz, but not on other devices.
Regards
Phil
WOW............are you all talking about those tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny teeeeeeeeeeeeeeny little dots that can barely be seen?
Man my eyes must be **** lol I have them but I had to put my glasses on (there for reading and even then I could barely see them)
Whats the big deal? Flash a new ROM with a different contact UI
And I thought I had OCD lol
Hey didn't really read anything abouth this, but the os part of the phone from samsung is really getting to annoy me. It's pretty ugly and doesn't look good...
I am wondering if I am the only one with this. Is it the screen or is it just not well made? Because it also looks like some banding.
I will give some examples but you can see it everywhere...
Like the battery icon when your phone is off and you are charging, wtf is that? It's banded like wth...
Also these two next examples are bad. Can you check if yours is the same?
It seems with a screenshot it's pretty normal on my laptop screen. On my phone it's not like that. How are these examples with your phones??
In this first pick, look at the grey from every different alarm. On my phone it is very banded!! Not smooth at all like this picture, some pink lines in between and stuff...
Here you should lok at the grey of the keyboard. And the green telephone button. Doesn't look smooth in my phone.
I also have a question abouth, some burn in? When i pull down the pull down menu/notification bar, and I watch the bar where your thumb is up, it chancges slightly in color i noticed. When i look closer, i could see that what is behind the bar is visible for abouth 10-15 sec and than it fades. So i could read the word contacts pretty good, when i pulled it all the way down, so it's kind of a burn in for sometime? Is this normal and can ohter people check this on their phone? Thanks
Yes I agree it's pretty ugly, use go launcher, go contacts and go sms pro, much better looking...

Yeah ok, the look is something else, everybody has it own taste.
But i was talking abouth the banding on the grey of the numeric keyboard, and the alarm for example...
At these screenshot they look pretty normal, but on my phone they don't look like that...
So is it the screen that make them look like that???
Do these things look the same on your phone screen as on your pc screen? Or do you also have banding on these things?
PC screen is not the phone screen stupid to compare them .
For what is worth I see no banding on Dialpad on phone likewise ringer volume .
jje
There is a topic about the banding, I think it's a software issue it probably doesnt use 24bit color depth, just use go contacts/dialer

Yeah i know it's stupid. But you should think it is optimised for the phone.
On the dialpad I see banding on every number's grey "button".
And it is not the ringer volume, that was an accident when i made the print screen, I accidently pushed the ringel volume at the same time.
It's the grey from every alarm, very banding on my phone...
So if you don't have it, my screen is defect?

Factory reset first to clear any problems .

I am sure the screen response will loosen up over time. I noticed too initially but it's all okay now.
I remember first two weeks of my tv was almost painful to watch while the pixels caught up with the action. Maybe oled isn't much different to lcd in that respect

Try holding down on the icons and moving them. If you can, remove them from the screen and re add them. If not, try disabling any xposed modules (if you have any that could effect the home screen) and look at it again. I don't personally use the touchwiz launcher and this never happened to me, so these are just guesses. Also, I noticed you have a strange colored Google app in your bottom bar. Did you do anything to the icon, and if so did you possibly break other icons while doing it?

I did factory reset my phone and still see these , is there any software to fix that or this is a hardware issue .
is this called a burn-in issue or it is called some thing else .
thanks for replying .
Are those applications actually there software wise? If not, then it would be a burn-in, where the screen has the images "burned in" and can't be removed. If they are there you could try flashing a stock tar using Odin for whatever build you want.

yes , they are software wise and if you look very good in the pic you can notice the whatsapp shadow on the screen , also I had flashed the stock.tar odin rom many times and they are still there , if this case is a burn-in issue what software would you suggest to fix because I tried all the softwares on the playstore and they didn't help .
thanks

The only other thing I can suggest is to take your phone to Verizon and see what they can do. They might have to replace it.
having same issue in MotoG3
I got this phone(MotoG3) 15 days back, it worked fine for a few days and suddenly I noticed that a "Whats app Shadow" is coming on my home-screen, it was hardly noticeable at first but then it became darker and darker, I replaced the phone thinking it might be a software issue, and got the same handset today itself, it worked fine but again as I installed whats app the same shadow problem appeared, I uninstalled it and it started to work properly. Am not sure where is the problem, so please help me out.
About the shadow issue:
The home screen of whats app appears in my wallpaper and also above all the other apps, a transparent shadow kinda thingy, I hope you people got what am trying to say.
Thank You
I also have the same issue on my redmi note 8 but in my phone i doesn't shows the shadow of the icon but but the shadow off appa inside when I use anh app
I have the same issue on my Pixel; the shadow apps aren't directly on my home screen, but when apps are opened. Perhaps due to Google system.
Hi- this screen never appeared before and now it does -.- tried wiping factory resetting and this image wont go away from my homescreen. Idk what happened please help looked everywhere of how to remove this but no one has had this issue. This never appeared on stock until after i unlocked my bootloader and installed cm. Tried to use the repair assistant and its still there.
edit: idk why it does not show in my screenshots. here are some photos taken from my iphone... hard to show but there is a white line that is in the background of my homescreen. Shows an sms icon slightly transparent. Annoying **** to look at when I take pics on snapchat. As you can in google playstore and the snapchat photo a SMS icon appears behind the mic in play store and under the switch to facecam icon in snapchat. Does anyone know a fix??
I still have no idea what you are talking about.

lol. ok before on my screen it will be normal fine no graphical errors no visual glitches. pictures wont show it for some reason but if you had my phone in my hand it would show up as SMS icon at the top of my screen like right below the navi bar. Shows up in camera and on my snapchat. Never happened till now. Idk if my screen got messed up or if its the constant switching of roms etc that gave me that glitch. its like a white line that separates the navibar and the rest of the screen at the bottom shows a menu bar on the left corner and some icons. its very transparent under the homescreen display like if the stock rom overlapped
like it shows a small phone screen is under the home screen. in the background- get me?
It's screen burn in. It happens with amoled screens if they are left on a static image too long. You can try some burn in fix tools in the play store. That's why you don't see it in your screen shots it's a hardware problem.

thank you! do you recommend any that would work?
I am the only one who have this issue..?
When i scroll on the screen, espescially when i am on black backround (like nova launcher settings), there is a ghosting effect on the text and it's really bad...i bought this smartphone today and i already found a big issue like this..
someone of you have this problem?
Yes I do have the same problem, I think it's because the phone has a LCD display?
