I am beginning to notice some screen burn in along the notification bar, and surprisingly enough, the keyboard keys. Is there any way to clear some of the burn in, or maybe prevent more burning?
Hmm get a new phone? But seriously I've noticed some odd shading on mine and any fix for this would probebly help me.

There are programs designed to fix dead pixels by rapidly turning them on and off; I wonder if you could use the same method to fix this problem. Bump out of curiosity.
Not sure if this counts or will work
But on my old psp I had this problem and I left the screen on a.black image for like six hours and it went away
For AMOLED I'm sure it would hafta be a white screen but it may work Idk

As of a month or two ago, a bright green stuck/dead pixel has been lingering on the left side of the notifications bar. I am rooted and would like to avoid going to the store to get it fixed. Aynyone know of any quick fixes for it? Appreciate the help.
I don't think you can fix that but I may be wrong

The only way to get it fixed is to get a new phone. There is no way to bring dead pixels "back to life." Back up with titanium backup and unroot and reset user data and go to the verizon store
Is it a dead pixel or a stuck pixel. If it stays black, then all three sub pixels in it would be inactive. But if it has color to it, in your case green, you might be able to correct it.
Either gently rubbing the screen or rapidly flashing random colors on your screen (there's got to be an app for this) might pop it.
Yeah I looked into a couple of apps that did that in the Market. The only issue was the colors they were flashing weren't extending over the area that the notifications bar covers.
Perhaps put a request in the android development and hack / apps and games section for a full screen app to do this?
I actually found two apps that claim to fix issues such as the green stuck pixel that I have and they work in full screen mode. Ill try them out tonight and report back. Thanks for all the help.

So I've had this problem on almost all roms I've run. It looks like screen burn in, but its not. Obviously.
It disapears after a while, I'm just wondering what causes it.
I searched Google but It's kind a of a hard thing to explain.
I took a screenshot of it, but it kept messing up in the upload. You can barely see it in the pixture. Sometimes it comes up as my text message pop up, or any text box I type in.

I get this too, I'm honestly not sure what it is.
Its mainly from what I've noticed is whitish icons, status bar icons, keyboard, keyboard letters. It annoys me to death some times.

its burn in. its happened on almost every android phone ive ever seen. it goes away.
It's not burn in. Burn in is permanent where as this usually isn't. This is called image persistence, or image retention. I would post a link to wikipedia article but I don't have enough post so just Google Image persistence. The solution to it is to just turn your device off for a bit.

Looks like I'm stuck with it then, I'm on my phone at least 55-65% of the time.

Hello. Just picked up a used GNex off Craigslist. My old Nexus broke and after 2 weeks wn old Dith aroid 2 Global that someone let me use, I had to get a GNex back. It came rooted with CM 10.1. However, once I got home and started messing around with it (flashed AOKP and installed TWRP) I noticed that there was a shadow/outline (not really sure how to describe it) of the keyboard on the screen at all times. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is pretty annoying (especially on pages with white backgrounds.) I'm pretty sure I did nothing to cause this but does anyone have any idea what is going on/how to fix this?
Sidenote: I just realized that the keyboard outline is not "on the picture" if you will. I took a screenshot, looked at it on my computer and the keyboard outline was not on the picture. Not sure what this means/if it helps.
I've tried to take a picture of my phone but they keyboard outline is too faint to pick up.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your new galaxy nexus is suffering from severe burn in. Remember on amoled screens, stuff displaying on the screen sort of burns the picture into the screen. Download screen diagnostic from the play store. Take a snapshot of the screen with the keyboard open. Then load the snap shot in screen diagnostic. Leave it there for a bit and it should fix the burn in.

for how long did you leave the negative image on? i have a similar problem on my s4 and i made a screenshot of my whatsapp chat box with the keyboard on (like the burnt image), turned it into a negative using the app and left it there for about 15 mins and the burn is still there like before.
I think I left mine on overnight. I didn't remove it completely, but it improved it

Over the last few days I've noticed that the Chrome address bar and the NFC symbol are burned into my screen. Has this happened to anyone else?

I actually noticed this one day with the Chrome Browser as well. To troubleshoot, I checked a different browser that also had a black background and then didn't see the ghosted image. Back to Chrome again, ghosting; back to other browser, no ghosting. I think it might be a problem with the application where it's somehow burning the image into the black background of the browser instead of into the screen itself. Give it a try and see if that's the case or not.
You cannot burn an image into an applkcation as you described. If you use one of those screen test apps to look for dead pixels, on different colors you will see different parts. Usually with the full white screen you could see the burn in on the screen. If your screen is burned in see if sprint will replace it for you under warranty. Goodluck.

I hear what you're saying, but I know what I saw. I troubleshoot software and hardware all the time. I know what steps I took and I know I narrowed down the ghosting only to that one program's background. I didn't see it anywhere else; not on black backgrounds or on white backgrounds. Feel free to keep saying it's not possible, but I know what I saw.
Ok

This just came up on my home page so I'll help out the cause.
Basically, if a pixel stays the same for a very extended period of time (say, a few hours) and doesn't change then it eventually becomes accustomed to being that shade, and it will stay like that. LED screens are worst affected. If you make your entire screen go blue, that is by far the easiest way to check screen burn, as the blue segment deteriorates quickest.

I noticed this one day. I was flicking through pages and noticed I could see my beatiful widgets clock widget. It was only temporary though, as it went away after about 30 minutes of non-use. I also tend to get a yellow spot in the bottom right corner under prolonged temperature increase, but that also goes away. Hopefully it never becomes an escalating problem.
So just now my screen started flickering and it goes black when I slide my keyboard out, but a simple power on-off fixes it.
First of all, this is very tidious and annoying to do -.-
Second, I fear the screen will eventually stop working at all.
So my question, has anyone experienced this before and can give me and info on it? Would flashing a new Rom probably fix it? It doesn't seem to affect anything else at this moment, but I don't know what this little glitch will lead to.

A lil more info, the screen seems to flash on/off at the second I slide the screen up. When the screen goes black, it still works and responds to any touch as normal, but I just can't see anything at all.
Could this be a LCD problem? Or screen brightness?

Well, my gut tells me that the back light is going out, but I can't be sure. Is the screen really dark (as in, you can barely see anything in it if you shine a flashlight on the screen) or is it off (can't see anything in it at all, even with the flashlight). Also, what ROM are you using and so on?
Thanks for your help, but I'm getting used to it now. When I decide to flash a new ROM, if that solves it then great, and if not, I guess ill just use the phone till the screen blows out. This is only my media phone so its not a big deal and since the problem hasn't gotten worse over the 2 weeks I'm hoping it won't.
