what do u mean ?

I think he is talking about, for instance leaving a few pixels show the same thing for along time with the result being that those pixels "stick" to the showing the "thing".
Hope this helps...
BTW i havent had this problem yet.....

I have the white status bar on the top. I left my screen on for about 10-15mins. I rebooted my phone and on the white HTC logo boot screen, I can see some of the white status bar but its very faded. This was a big problem with plasma TV's also.

Brightness loss on AMOLED
I have found reduced brightness on my desire after trying to run the battery flat by setting the screen to fully white display, and at full brightness. It ran for hours before it went flat.
I have two friends with Desires, and when comparing my phone with theirs at full brightness, the lesser light emitted by mine is noticeable. All three phones were set to manual and full brightness for comparison.
Organic material degradation is one downside to OLED screens, but i always thought it took around >50,000 hours to reach half brightness.
Maybe the 'hours on'/'brightness loss' curve is not linear.....?

I was told that the reason the HTC Sense UI is black is to avoid such a problem

Use a black theme, it consumes less power and you won't get the burn-in effect.

I too hv noticed that. But they disappear in short, so i see no matter to complain.

Yup. I just thought I'd bring it up, I didn't know I was the only one with this problem lol

this is sick. Now one say if this is really such an advantage. Bull****. I would much rather have the Iphone 4 then this crap from HTC!!!

so its not really Burn-In then more IR (Image Rentention), which disappears after the handset is switched off?
Not noticed anything so far on mine.

Yep. I only notice this when the device is rebooted, that's the only ever time I see the burn-in effect.

[Q] Anyone suffering Screen Flickering?

Twice in the last couple of weeks I have had the screen flicker when I turn it on, turning it off then back on again has sorted it out both times.
I am hoping it is either down to some CM autobrightness thing, or under/overclocking...or both.
Unless anyone thinks this is the start of my screen dying?
Any input would be great
what do you mean by flicker? a slight flicker of the backlight? and by slight, i mean realllyyy slight
Nah its a full on flicker as in you can't use the phone like it.
I know when the forums started some people, like 2, were saying when they set their brightness setting to the lowest setting it would flicker. I suppose they returned it.
my brothers phone is doing that right now
I've had mine flicker about 5 times in the last four days. The screen semi locks and jumps up and down a little in a juddery way. When i try to scroll it works hap hazardly. Turning the screen off and on sorts it out. Not sure why it does this but it only started at the start of this week.

Had this happen to me on a reboot today right as the cm logo was fixing to come up. It was only for a split second, like scribbled green flicker. It was after I updated to 6.1.1
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Mine does it all the time when the screen auto dims.
That was right out of the box stock.
ok good to know I am not the only one, I will keep an eye on it but I do think it might be to do with autobrightness
Got a screen protector on? Maybe the thickness/quality of screen protector could be an factor?

Do the options in Cyanogen Settings,.. UI,.. Auto Backlight,.. Filter thing not sort anything for you?

I had the same thing happen and I just returned it from walmart and got a new one.
I can confirm that some phones do have a screen issue where the backlight flickers at certain brightnesses. Mine does it when at lower ones. Stock rom, etc, doesn't matter.
I also have battery issues (45 mins with screen on at 20% brightness will kill the battery).
I am having mine replaced today.
Replaced my phone, no more flicker, and it seems like the battery lasts twice as long now. Very happy so far

[Q] Severe Screen Burn-in

My phone has really, really severe burn in. Basically I leave it on the clock app for like 20 minutes and the screen is burned in for maybe 5 minutes after i do something else. Also, sometimes I have it set to "Never turn display off while charging" when I test out my apps, but forget it and let it sit on the lockscreen for maybe 2 hours, and the residue remains for maybe 20 minutes. Is this abnormal, or does everyone have this? My phone is SLCD.
What is the residual effect that you're experiencing? Is it noticeable when you turn the screen off or when you navigate away from the burned in screen? I haven't heard of that but I suppose if the screen is left on for the whole time it's charging I could see that happening. Hasn't ever happened to me but I don't leave my screen on for that long. I wonder if the screen type makes a difference..

Sounds like an SLCD problem. I leave my AMOLED on desk clock over night, no burning.

Well, once I left it overnight, and it stuck there even on the lock screen. For example, I got a new notification, moving everything else to the right, and there was burn in of the previous icon. Also, the time was blurred (it was like 7:58, and you could see the digits 1 - 7 on the right number).

I read somewhere that only AMOLEDs could burn in. Weird, maybe that's wrong.
At least I can use my phone outdoors

I've never heard of OLED's having burn in :-/
I can use mine outdoors >_> just gotta turn the brightness on max
I leave mine on the clock app overnight every night and never had a problem, but then again, the clock bounces around like a screen saver, I'm assuming for exactly that reason.

AMOLED Incredible owner here, and I've left it on desk clock when I sleep, no burn in. I also use it on my desk at work as a clock, and I've been doing this for almost a year...
LCD does burn in. This is a problem in TV's where you can see channel logos getting burned in. Also, I can use my phone outside too Just gotta crank the brightness, that's all.
I can confirm that amoleds are able to burn in. The last replacement I got from vzw had the time burned in at the top and it was the first thing I noticed when I powered it on to the white "incredible" screen.

Screen burn in

Does anyone else get a little screen burn in on their incredible? Or should I bring mine in under warranty? Never noticed it before, but it does it whether I am running stock unrooted or rooted with a different Rom. I have never overclocked or messed with voltages. It's not bad yet just noticeable at times. SLCD screen.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
My AMOLED has slightly-yellowish bands across the screen when I'm looking at white screens or light-colored screens. I assume its screen burn-in. It doesn't bother me because it only shows up on light-colored screens. I run mostly dark wallpapers or black if I can just because I love the pitch black dark background that AMOLED makes as opposed to my brother's SLCD Incredible. Might buy a replacement screen later on down the road if I can find a replacement AMOLED screen for it. In the meantime, its all good.
I get it too sometimes, I have an SLCD. For some reason, it was only back when those 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 roms from the Desire were being ported. The icons at the very top on the status bar would get burned into it, and wouldn't go away for a while. Like, say I turned off Wifi, the prominent icon would go away, but then there would be a sort of dim replica of it, still in the exact spot where it was, and it would just linger there forever. Also got these on some Sense 2.1 roms, while messing with some skins for them. I have no idea what causes this.
Mine has burn in where the time is in the status bar. But since it is always there...no biggie

Yea I just usually leave the screen off for a while and it goes away. Like for example when I'm txting, and I go into the xda app, I can see my keyboard and message in the backround. Lol. It is just kind of funny.

This wasn't actually screen burn in. It had something to do with the skins/themes and having to be ported to the Incredible. Happened to everyone.
If you have a slcd then the correct term for what you are most likely seeing is image retention or image persistence. Just turn your screen off for a bit to relax the crystals.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Apparently my phone decided one day that it'd be a great idea to never turn off the screen, so after around 40 minutes I took my phone out of my pocket to see Google Voice sitting there. Turned it off and it was still bad, but it's gone away after a while.
You can't fix it. 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

Oh yeah...well it still happens on miui, and cm7, with the keyboard and stuff, if I have it open for a while, and it's a white keyboard, if I go to a black screen it'll still look like it's there...along with other objects and images on the phone

Well, I am sorry. That was the only situation that I have seen what appeared to be burn in. When I quite using those custom skins, the issue stopped, and it only happened with the status bar icons. And if you look back to my original reply, it was specifically responding to you about the status bar "burn in" issue you brought up on sense roms, not about issues you may have had with aosp or keyboards. I am using amoled screen.

Me neither. I've had my Inc since Sept 2010 and have no burn in. I do however have a dead pixel and a couple tiny scratches

Can I fix it by replacing a display?

yellow screen tint/spot FIX!

1) go to display settings and set sleep to never turn off and brightness to full
2) install 'dead pixel detect and fix' from market
3) open 'dead pixel detect and fix' select colors, custom then a nice bright yellow
4) once your screen is bright yellow put on charge and leave for the night
I'm unsure if this fixed my problem or just a coincidence that my screen got better over night anyway but I thought I would share to see if it helps anyone else.

It had been 2 days and is still good. I read up that a lot of one x's have the same problem, yellow smudges appears about 3 days after purchase but suppose to fade after about 2 weeks. So I don't think it will return this is just to speed things up a little.
I thought that it was due to hardware, but maybe not so much?
Well ill try to work on it for few days on full brightness, maybe it will reduce the glue grain, I noticed its on all one Xs they just vary in intensity
Sometimes pixels get stuck at a colour and flashing the area between different colours really fast can fix it.

Unfortunately my screen is yellow at the bottom and every pixel app I find has the menu bar there. What I did do though was leave chrome on the settings page and it did help to reduce it., however I've just been playing some fruit ninja. My phone got hot the touch screen stopped working correctly and the yellow is back worse than before
I am trying this now and will let it run overnight.
I currently have 2 yellow spots on the top of my screen. Hoping this will make them go away faster.

My yellow blobs was at the top of the screen, so the black menu bar at the bottom wasnt a concern for me. I am currently using tripndroids cm9 build that takes the black bar away and gives you full resolution use. Only attemp cm9 if your boot loader has allready been unlocked, so you can still replace your phone if things dont improve.
for anyone using cm9 they dont have the option to turn display sleep off completly, so i would recomend downloading an app callled 'screen on' that does the job from the market.
The yellow tint/spot isnt a hardware fault. It comes from poor manufacturing processing. If you squeeze hard on the edge of the screen for prolonged time, the yellow tint/spot appears. Once the pressure on the screen is normalized, the tint/spot will be gone. However, there is a chance that prolonged pressure will cause permanent damage, it is wise for you guys NOT to put your H1X into your jeans pocket!

That can be achieved by just clicking fix on the dead pixel app, when i attempted this for about 2 hours i never saw any changes as after just trying a constant yellow i instantly saw that my screen got brighter, whiter and the yellow smudges on top of my screen started to fade. I compare to my partners one x to check for improvements.
Any luck?

I do hope that this solution help you with that problem.. however there must be a reason why HTC help support keeping my HOX at their location , as far as I know they waiting for new battery as well as NEW LCD..according to that information must be smth wrong with LCD... (yellow dots of course)
So I need to switched back to my HP pre 3 for a while..
Hi i have the same problem with my HOX, my HOX is perfect except for the blue spot when i turn my screen brightness to full and use a black wallpaper you can see the blue spot, i dont know what i must to do because it is my second HOX and it took me 2 weeks to get a replacement unit from virgin if any body in here has experience with htc australia service centre please let me know thanks (i did try to use the app but no luck)

Alright -
I let it run for like 12 hours last night.
My yellow spots are about 75 percent gone!!!!
I am going to let it run again tonight and will give another update.
For those of you will yellow spots I would suggest giving this a shot. So far it seems to be working for me. Although I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back or gets worse again.
Thanks!
any idea if this deals with the glue grain too?
I don't think the color really matters - what metters is that it is left alone AND getting warm.
I guess if you put a book on top of it while running a 3D game, 90% of the spots will be gone momentarily, but as soon as you start using it they will creep back because it is a lamination problem and not a screen problem...
And for those who claim their spots "disappeared" after a week - yes, they did disappear for me one day, but were back once I started using it heavily.
the spots problem will not appear for those who have a flawlessly fit screen
this is why i advice those with lamination issues to get rid of the phone, lamination issues = spots, uneven whites and chance of dust get in
Does anyone have any further evidence that this works? I've got a very light yellow haze/spot in the bottom right hand corner of my screen which I'm not too happy about.
Hoping that it does work because I don't really want to go through the hassle of acquiring a replacement. I will do if the problem is terminal though.
Thanks.
I don't have the yellow spots. But the top part of my screen has a yellow tint. This is my second phone and its perfect apart from this. Only had it a couple of days though so I'll give it time to see if it will fade.
I can only do a swap once more and I don't want to end up with a worse phone and have to send it away for repair.
Dilemma!

Screen Burn?

On the top of my screen I've noticed that the the status bar has been burnt in and I was wondering if I could get a replacement from T-Mobile.

Searched and found this. Wanted to bring this up because I too now have screen burns. Specifically the notification bar and a little bit from the dock. I just started noticing it maybe the past month or two. Not sure if it will get worse. But to describe it, it's a light blueish tint, more noticeable on white. Really noticeable when the brightness is turned down, hardly noticeable when the brightness is cranked up. I got my phone in the middle of April of 2012.
Kinda sucks, but I've gotten used to it and come to terms that it will probably happen again if I replace it. Never replaced a phone before, but I just don't want to end up getting a refurbished phone if that's the case. Phone works great and I can deal with the screen unless it becomes super dark blue.
Just wanting to know if any of yall have any indications of screen burn or at least heard any other stories. Thanks!
To all this happen to a previous vibrant I owned and its from you charging your phone often with the display on to high and not in sleep mode while charging make sure your screen is off on phone because the hotter the phone gets the more likely u get the burn :thumbup:

For those who have the issue, can you try the Display Tester app on the Play store and let us know if it works? Apparently, it can repair burn in... it would be good to find out if it's a possible fix in the event someone else were to get screen burn.
