Do not use these "tools". They simply attempt to degrade the rest of your screen to hide the burn in. Junk.

Samsung Galaxy S Screen Problem

Hi, does anyone else has a big C like a water mark on your phones?
The app is wifi Analyzer.
that looks like a burned in
try running a pure white screen
then a pure black screen
see if you can still spot that C
That is a burn in. No doubts, you should run some app that does what Allgamer said, and if possible even with RGB colors as well.
That looks suspiciously like the shape of the coloured print on the protective sheet that a brand new galaxy s was shipped with.
Yeap it's the marked burn of the C from the protective cover... Gonna bring it back...

I have a similar circle like yours in my screen in the right-center of the screen...
I see it only when there is a grey screen or brown screen...
What is this????
I have verified that isn't the protective cover....
Can anyone help me???

can you post some screenshot?
Could it be that the phones have been in the sun with the protective film on?
I remember AMOLED screens being sensitive to light, that light being th ereason for wear. but external sunlight MIGHT also have that effect. When it is the sun with that cover for a few weeks...
possible?

Did you used Invisible Shield? Because those who watered the phone with Invisible Shield got onwed.
I hope you didn't.

Looks like a burn in. But i can't say for sure. Have tried what allgamer said?

I don't why, but this is NOT screenburning.
I have seen two types screen watermark C and L. These screens are little blueish.
Maybe screen type sign, you are not alone.

Yes, have tried but with no results....
I had never used invisible shield or screen protector....
seems that you've got yourself a showmodel, it's the excact location(just checked with one that's still in the box) of the foil with the huge C in the middle, they prolly kept him several weeks in the light/sun?

Agreed.
I see three options:
1. Leave your phone in the sun for an extended period of time so that it hopefully evens out the mark. Problem is you would purposely be wearing down the phone so the mark isn't as visible.
2. Use your phone normally and over time it should go away.
3. Return your phone and get a non-defective one. If they give you a hard time (and you aren't past the 14days/30minutes) just say you'll return it and get a new one if they don't give you what you want (reps. can be pricks sometimes).

[Q] Squares in the screen.

Hello!
I have a Nexus 4 and I saw now that I can see squares in the screen of the Nexus when it turned off.
I can really see them clearly.
What is that? Is my Nexus 4 is defective?

its not defective unless your touchscreen is not working..
those lines that look like circuits are the touch sensor or something like that..... you can only see then with the screen off and in the right angle...

Is there a Nexus 4 phone that the pattren is less visible?
I compared with a friends phone and his does not have this pattren so clearly.
Btw,
If I change the phone's gamma with a kernel and then I back to stock, the colors goes back to the original?
And if I undervolt the phone and then I go back to stock, the settings of volt goes back to the original?
Is changing the colors can damage the screen in the long term?
We just got a new nexus 4 in the family today, rev11, and it also has this chequered pattern visible with the screen off. We have 2 original rev10's that don't have this.
Guess it's supposed to be like that.

How to know on which one am I ? I just bought the phone some like 2 weeks back. But didn't from play store, but rather from a local re seller.

Boot to the boot loader.. From power powered off state, press volume down button, then press it again with the power button and hold them both down until the boot loader screen comes up. There you can see what revision your phone is.

Well if I remember, it has already happened on the day i bought the phone but i didn't really excpecting this to be the screen problem that is really annoyed me. So i think its's not because the screen protector, rather the screen itself because it only happen in 1 spot, not the entire screen.

Guys, just update and it will be fine. Last kernel included in january firmware fixed all bugs (aod grayishness, screen flickering etc.) You can flash Luxembourg firmware if you have carrier unlocked j730.
I the most times you just need to do factory reset

Oh boy oh boy! My screen has a burn in!

My Nexus 6p is showing signs of burn in on my screen, it's kinda annoying to see now it's very obvious on the status bar as I can see the WiFi, battery and time imprinted on my screen . I used the AMOLED burn in fixer used it overnight I'm not too sure if it worked or what not (I'll keep using it and see if it works) Is there any fixes that makes the ghosting go away on my phone or is it going to be stuck on there permanently?
Your tips can be really appreciated :good:

Phone is a few years old, if you plan on using it awhile I would replace the screen/digitizer, fairly easy to do on your own. There is lots of diy videos out there. What I would prob do anyways. I use mine for my work phone. I haven't replaced the digitizer yet on this phone but I did do the battery once . If you do replace it, I would replace the battery while you have it apart. Only like 10 or 15 bucks for a new one.

Yeah I already replaced my battery as it was shutting down around 30% which was pretty annoying. So you're saying that to fix the burn in, is to replace the whole screen? If its the way to be done to just get rid of the burn in then I'll probably consider doing it. Thanks :good:

I'm almost positive a new digitizer will start you off brand new as far as burn in. But I haven't done that on the 6p yet only the battery.

Thats true if its the only way to get rid of the burn ins then I'll may start looking for a new digitizer/ screen now then. But as I said Im using that burn in fixer app to see if that can cure the problem, I do it over night as the app says its best to leave the app running for 8 hours in order to fix the problem. I use my phone in in the day quite consistently.

Slow process on mine Nardow. I've been using that app for the past 2 - 3 days now and I can see a very small difference but I think its gonna take a while to get rid of it. Either to get rid of the whole burn in is either replace the screen or just keep using the tool to clear off the ghosting.

Every app behaves like this with the thick black navigation bar at the bottom. It looks very ugly to me.
Is there a way to make the navigation bar transparent and smaller in size..
I saw every picture posted by users in flipkart. The cut looks same. But have a look at these videos. The cut looks perfect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8uAYtcQOcM

Sadly no one has mentioned this anywhere except in the flipkart reviews. I read the reviews and was like what was the display cut problem. Then I saw this thread. Asus should look into this. We have to mention this in their twitter handle.
My device also have same problem, looks like the product is defective but flipkart and seller is denying replacement. Really sucks
My device also have same looks!!!
I guess we all should spam them on social media. ?
I have posted a question on Flipkart site about display cut.
