Hi
not sure if anyone else has noticed this but it seems that the call end button, the button to view the dial pad and the button to view speaker options are burned into my screen!!! viewing in most apps it is not noticable but if you open internet explorer and go to a new page without loading a website the images of the buttons and very visiable in a brownish color I have had my focus since it was released in the US, I have also checked my wifes focus and it also has this burned into her screen.. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes, I have the call tile, message tile, and the little circle/arrow burned into my screen. As you said, it's only visible on light colored screens, but it is visible. Unfortunately, unlike the temporary burn-in on new plasma tvs, this burn-in will not go away.
If you want to see something really bad, go up to the at&t store and check out the Focus that's on display. The Focus at my local at&t store looks horrible. I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy that phone if they saw that display model...
edit: by the way I love your weather app, I have had a few problems with it over the time i've used it, and you have always been fantastic with your support. Thanks!
Are you using blue tiles? I heard Blue OLEDs burn out faster than other colors and changed my tiles to green.
I have been using the brown almost exclusively; occasionally I'll go with blue, green, or lime, but the brown just looks the best to me.

thanks for the comment. on to your screen you have the actuall tiles burned into your screen? wow i only have the call end and function buttons burned i think its related to having my display on bright i took it off the automatic.
It's actually not the tile, it's the icon inside the tile that is burned in, but it's only visible on white screens. It's still quite annoying. As soon as the hd7s is out I'm going to compare screens, if the slcd is close to the samoled then i'm jumping ship I think...
and yeah my screen is on bright (not automatic) also. I think my problem is that I have the time out set to 5 minutes, and I never locked it myself

Based on HTC's latest track record with the Desire HD and Inspire 4G, make sure you analyze the viewing angle of the HD7-S. HTC has said it will have a Super LCD but, according to an answer they gave to a customer complaining it wasn't true S-LCD tech, the display will likely be what HTC is calling "Super" LCD...meaning it is their name for the super-sized display...and having nothing to do with true S-LCD tech.
If the viewing angle isn't as good as the iPhone 4 or Focus...or other SAMOLED/AMOLED equipped devices...then it isn't the higher-tech display but just an ordinary non-TFT LCD.
Super AMOLED is a great screen. But the pixel life span is still way short. The Blue pixels are the shortest. The old stats are 2000 to 4000 hours. New information point it around 10000 to 14000 hours. But Samsung didn't release any spec on this.
You should always keep the screen dim and keep it on as short as possible. Reportedly use a red theme will not only preserve blue pixels but also prolong battery life.
No burn in here. I have the phone set to turn off screen within 30 seconds, and have always used Lime colour tiles since it matches the Xbox Live tile.
Just a follow up on this issue, and possible a "what not to do" post. The burn in on my screen is getting worse. On a white screen, I can now see the phone icon, message icon, small circle/arrow, the word calender, and my google mail icon. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds, and I have the brightness set to high (not auto).
i have this problem(maybe common in amoled devices) if i take gray pitchure and put it on background there is distorsion in grey. like brighter and darker stripes(but you need to look it realy good) for exsample download program screen helper lite and tell me do you see stripes on main gray program screen.
There is a thread going for so long,

I think that he meant this:

I dont think he is refering to both yellowish screens or banding.
I'm having this issue too. It doesnt show itself unless the screen brightness is turned down, and especially an grey background. There will be faint large vertical stripes. It is as if the backlighting is uneven. Increase the brightness and it'll go away.
Seeing that i do not have the yellowish screen problem, no stuck/dead pixels and no bluish tint problem, im very reluctant to send this phone back for a replacement due to this problem. Its something that i can live with.
Hello, I think my HD2 have screen bleeding. When i'm outdoor, I have hard time to see anything on display & there is a three white bright dots on display. Can I fix this problem or I need to replace display and digitizer ?
display is quite bad in outdoor bright sunlight so that maybe normal, white dots sound like maybe dead pixels.
Try posting some images of it if you can.
Also look at backlight setting for brightness & see if adjustment seems to work correctly as maybe have issue with LCD backlight !
Like you already are thinking, LCD is needed but some images would be good to confirm this & I would not re-use the current digitizer unless recently replaced & removed without any damage.
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?
Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..
What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.
Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.
I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?
