I haven't used my phone too long, but today, I noticed when I switched to landscape mode, I can faintly make out the image of the taskbar on the left. Anyone else have a problem with screen burn in?
One day is really early for screen burn in, but amoled is notorious for it and I've heard super amoled is even worse.
No way you can honestly avoid burn in unless you don't use the phone....

Had mine since release. I use it about 12 hours a day no screen burn for me.

I'd really enjoy seeing the source of your information as well as the studies on the frequencies it happens. Had my Moment for almost a year, used it constantly and never once experienced this nor heard of anyone else on any message board (sdx, android forums, ams) experiencing this. I know it's anecdotal but that's why I'm asking for your source.

The Epic is not LCD, it is Super AMOLED.
There can be burn ins in AMOLED displays but it should not happen until at least 2 years or more. The only burn ins i have seen where taskbar burn ins.The taskbar does not change color a lot so it can get burn ins. You can use ADW Launcher(may be launcher pro not sure) to hide taskbar to avoid burn ins. This really shouldn't be a issue since we replace are phones every 2 years. If you are having burn ins issue I would replace the phone asap.
AMOLED doesn't have burn-in.
Technically, the pixels wear out with use, and become dimmer. It should take a long time before this is noticable.
This is different from burn-in because you don't see the image when the screen is off.
You shouldn't notice it that much, if you have pixel wearing already, you may have a defective device.

I think you are wrong. I have seen pics of taskbar burn ins on nexus one with AMOLED screen.

jnadke is correct in the sense that LEDs don't "burn in", though the result of LED droop (dimming) *looks* like burn-in in the sense that a ghost image appears while the display is on - it will be dimmer in the shape of a frequently-displayed image. It's simply a technical point, not negating the fact that LEDs dim over time, and certain subpixels, due to constant use, will experience a characteristic that could easily be described, visually, as burn-in.

They may not burn in the same way but they do get burn ins. Cant find any thread or webpage saying they dont have burn ins. Did find tons that say it can.
Screen burn-in: Unlike displays with a common light source, the brightness of each OLED pixel fades depending on the content displayed. The varied lifespan of the organic dyes can cause a discrepancy between red, green, and blue intensity. This leads to image persistence, also known as burn-in.[67]
http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-tech-issues-bug-reports/4995-screen-burn.html
That is really an argument over semantics. The fact is AMOLED screens will develop issues if you have a static image on them over a long period of time. As stated before it is most likely to be on the task bar. Also stated before, using AWD Launcher will allow you to hide the task bar, and delay the issue.
If you call it "Burn-in", "Burn-out" or anything else, it does exist. I wouldn't call it a major problem, but its pretty well documented. Go to the NexusOne forums on XDA and search for "Burn in" you will find plenty of people experiencing it.

Exactly - nobody's disputing the fact that it happens, just simply a different reason.
Have you ever seen anything about a Samsung (creator of the AMOLED) phone having this problem?
The phone that everyone is saying has "the thing know as burn-in" is the Nexus One, phone made by HTC. Some say it's because they don't use the right...(don't remember the word) lighting mechanism for the screen which causes it.

The Nexus One and Droid Incredible both use Samsung AMOLED panels for the display...or at least they did.
Supply shortages caused HTC to use LCD's for newly manufactured phones.
All screen types can have some form of the loose term "Burn in" some are just better than others...at least its not a plasma screen
So the best way to avoid goofy looking taskbar burn in: Use ADW and use the "Hide Taskbar" option. Argument over kthxbai
Source: Dad's a TV repair guy.
i'm an android noob and didn't know about adw launcher until yesterday. i tried it but i like having a taskbar on top. plus, it's already too late for me as the "burn in" already happened? i think i should wait and play around with the phone for 20 something more days to see if this issue gets better/worse before returning/exchanging it.
I had a n1, yes amoled can get a screen burn in. My n1 had one, barely though and didn't bother me cause you really had to look. Didn't even notice till a thread like this.
isn't this called screen image persistence and not burn-in? "Burn-in" is permanent... Image persistence can be removed by showing an inverted-color version of the persisted image on-screen. It can also be avoided by not leaving the screen on on a single image for extreme extended periods of time.
As a power user, the pixel burn-in on my phone is starting to get really bad in the area of my status bar. At first I was only able to notice it on white backgrounds, but its getting more and more noticeable every month.
I had no idea that permanent burn-damage was possible until it happened to me. I wish I would have known, and i would have never employed numerous "stay awake" features.
Would Samsung replace my device due to this issue? I have phone insurance through T-Mobile, but I refuse to pay the deductible for something like this. Its out of my control (they dont warn us of this possibility), and I would consider it a product defect. The display is, arguably, this device's most attractive feature.
This is something that concerns me because this damage is permanent, and will only get worse over time. It wouldnt be THAT big of a deal, but my upgrade isnt until october of 2012...i can only imagine how bad the burn will be then.
---------------------------------------------------
Who else is experiencing pixel-burn? How bad is it? Have you taken any steps with Samsung or TMobile, and what were the results?
Samsung should be covering burn-in under warranty as long as it is serious enough to be fairly noticeable. Would the burn-in happen to be on the AM/PM part or the entire area containing the signal and battery status icons? Or the entire bar altogether?

The entire bar.....it's only going to get worse, and it's going to look horrible, and I've lost a lot ambition towards my phone because of it....I'm sure my fellow XDA compulsives know what I mean, everything has to be perfect or it's no good

Obviously hiding the status bar would be the way to prevent further burn, but frankly, I shouldn't be obliged to do that to prevent damage to my display. I love theming and I like the appearance status bar.

Unfortunately burn-in is inevitable on AMOLED screens when used extensively with a static image. I just try to use only themes with a black bar and hide the clock to prevent or hinder the progress of burn-in. You could rotate the screen a little more often, or display a solid color for a while in hope that it evens out the pixel degradation (AMOLED screens are organic after all). As for now all you can do is send it do Samsung for warranty repairs or just swap for a LCD screened device.
So far this has been the best mobile device I have ever owned from Palm, to BlackBerry, Motorola, iPhone, Samsung, Nexus, Asus. This has also been the best OS I have used to date. No lag, no battery drain, no boot loop, and I get a removable battery.
Too many features others lack for the same price with less storage for the same money as the V20.
All that being said there is a problem with this phone that also ocurred with my V10. I keep the screen on at maximum brightness all the time since battery is not an issue with this phone (I have many spare batteries). About 7 months into my V10 I started noticing "ghosting" along the left and right edge of the screen. I use white icons which means I always have a dark wall paper. I could notice a very thin whitish smear along the edges. Its not bleed like you sometimes see on the second screen. What I notice goes away when you turn off the screen a while or you switch to a lighter colored background. Then I started noticing that icons for notifications were beginning to burn into the screen when using a dark background... Very odd because this is almost always an issue with OLED screens and not LCD displays like on the LG phones. Then the screen burn in started occurint on the main screen, typically when a bright image is on the screen for a long time and when switching to a screen image with a dark background the borders of the previous image are still visible on the new image. Once the phone is off for while, again, the retention issue goes away but comes back if the same image is on the screen for more more than 30 seconds or so.
Thankfully This does not affect video playback or video streaming. Its only with digital images, logos, or text.
For those not familiar with this problem its called image retention.
I placed a warranty claim on the V10 and a new phone was sent. I traded in the replacement phone immediatley for the V20. And now only 4 months into ownership the exact same problem is occurring... Grrrreat.
When I called LG about the V10 they had no idea what I was talking about. I pointed out that this issue has been discussed in the forums for the last year.
Are you also seeing this issue?

it will go away its not really screen burn in, lcd's have this issue and its common, turn screen off for 24 hours and let the lcd cool off and the ghosting will go away. The LCD's dont have the same screen burn in that the OLED screen would.. but latent images will occur if your keeping it on non stop and high brightness. IPS at its best.
also try and use the screen burn in app and let it spam the screen with the multi colors overnight, this will help cover the burn in like ghost images.
24 hours? Hmm... I will try 8 hours tops because of obligations I need to be available by phone all the time.
I have had IPS displays before that were on all the time and didnt see this issue before...and I run all my devices into the ground.
My Plasma TV has latency issues, my Samsung AMOLED displays have burn in, Samsung LCDs had vertical banding, this LG IPS display has latency...so which displays are immune from premature (in less than one 12 month) issues?

V10 , V20 , G5's displays ( maybe include G6) are quantum dot IPS so they all meet image retention . Other IPS displays never meet this problem
I noticed this issue on my v20. If the phone remains off for a bit the image goes away. It can be annoying but if it doesn't hurt the phone
Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
The screen on the V20 isn't a regular IPS, it's a "quantum dot IPS" which may be more prone to some degree of image retention due to their form of illumination (I don't know a lot about it but it's a kind of atomic luminesence) which supposedly increases colour accuracy and range while lowering the power requirement for for the backlight.
It's possible this might be the root cause of the 'ghosting' but I'm mostly guessing.
Ironic though if QD displays are prone to ghosting, and LG knowingly equipped thier phone with an always-on second screen with that tech.
Yes. I'm on my 2nd replacement for the same issue. The phone I'm typing on is now having it. The screens last anywhere from 6 to 8 months before breaking down.
Glad to see that this isn't only happening to me, I find it super annoying, I never had this happen before on other devices, and it's an unacceptable occurrence that of course nothing will be done about it, I for one can't wait to get rid of the V20.
same thing started happening to my v20 recently, around 4-5 month old phone. it's an annoyance that should happen to a flagship phone, but it looks like we're SOL...

Tilted Pixel lines Problem.
I am also facing same problem with my 3 months old LG V20 Phone.
My phone have one more Problem.
I can see pixel lining (in whole screen) even though it is quad hd display. But the problem is that it is not horizontal, It is tilted 10 degree, and there is no vertical lines that I can recognize . And it is annoying to me.
If the screen is equally pixelated then I should have seen both vertical and horizontal lines of pixel equally like you can see in TV LCD Displays.
I encourage anyone whose 12 month warranty is about to expire to file a claim. And not use the phone at maximum brightness unless outdoors. Luckily I had some other issues with the phone like NFC and the speaker being somewhat distorted and the phone was replaced for those issues as well. If you see any deterioration in any other hardware aspect of your V20 you should definitely file a warranty claim.
I plan to keep this warranty replacement for another year as the only phone with the image quality I like is the Sony Experia XZ Premium which doesn't work with Verizon. Believe it or not I compared the V20 to virtually every new OLED flagship anr they all had a dingy yellowy color compared to the V20, including the new iPhone X. The Sony was the only phone that had both the color accuracy like and LCD but the deep color pop of an OLED. Best of both worlds with the only 4K screen and battery life better than my V20

It is my understanding that the V20 will get image retention, but not actually burn-in. Is this true?
Also, I have searched for solutions to the image retention problem. Most solutions advise the use of apps that cycle through colors or simply leaving the device off for awhile. I used a color cycle app, which helped, but the issue returns. And leaving my device off is, simply put, not an option. I did come across a post about replacing the thermal paste. Any truth to this method?
But I'm wondering, if I go through with taking my phone apart to apply paste, wouldn't it be beneficial to also replace the screen as well? Or am I missing some factor I haven't read about yet?

Once image retention sets in it will return once the screen is on for long enough. I ran those screen burn in apps overnight for months. Made no difference at all. The only option is to completely replace the display if you can get it cheap.

No need to do all that, install Night Screen by paper airplane dev team and set the slider at around 80%(make sure you're on the moon icon). Also let the screen cool off before you do this and set it up. You won't really notice the filter much and all the retention problems will be a thing of the pass.
@porscheoscar - No kidding lol Replacement LCD are not cheap. I'm gonna keep an eye on them cause I want to keep my V20 as long as possible. One of the last phones, that I'm aware of, I can carry an extra battery for. I love switching batteries while my friends with their latest, greatest phones watch their battery percentage like a hawk hehe
@salvichulo - Thanks for the tip ^_^ I installed it & am giving it a workout. I try not to be on my phone a lot, but I'm a gamer ;P Once phones became powerful enough to really game on, I killed my Xbox Live account & game exclusively on my phone. When I get the money I'm gonna look into getting an Android Emulator for my laptop.
A bunch of people are on here saying that they notice this ghosting problem after a few months, and that after that their phone's screen deteriorates rapidly. I just got this phone for Christmas, and I love it, but I noticed this annoying ghosting problem immediately. Should I be worried? I'm a little nervous it's getting worse.
why don't you root your phone? By rooting your phone you can change color setting by using custom kernel it help you with this problem .

The only thing curve could have done was burn in your screen which is easy to fix on an lcd display

Nice solution to this is to install Renovate ICE ROM, change status bar colours transparency to about 60% so the whites are dimmer / less vivd.
I also use XDA Nav bar with split pill mode so I don't have any full white static parts. (Nav bar moved below screen) (See screenshot attached) All I do is swipe up onto the screen in the apropriate area. (You will have to config pill yourself unless I can get a config over to you)

I have Amazon warranty of 2 years so I guess they would replace it or refund me if I contacted them... in my case the burn in is visible but not that bad in everyday use though it still bothers me... I also think there is no point in getting a replacement from Amazon without having the guarantee that it won't happen again after some time.

Let me guess, you had black navbar, status bar, and keyboard. If that's the case then of course they burned in. Burn in is nothing more than uneven decay of pixels. The black one didn't decay but the rest of your screen did
