Undere the normal status/notification bar there's something like anoter status bar stucked...for example when i start the phone,there's the htc logo on a white screen,and in the highest part of the display I can see a status bar but it's like if it's under the white screen becouse it's difficult to see.
Also when something goes into that part of the display it changes a bit the colors,like if there's a sort of veil over...
what can i do?
here is a pic

as you can see...in that part i can see a clock stuck at 18.38 and other notification symbol .-.
I'd put my money on screen burn-in.. have you by any chance had the screen on for hours on end? then that would explain it.

Is it like that on ALL other ROMs? If yes then it's a hardware problem and you can a) contact HTC b) change your screen yourself.

I bought my phone from an online store in Romania on February 22.I have warranty and other things, it was brand new. I kept the screen on full brightness, and Dynamic color mode. That's how I like it. I was aware of burn in so I switched colors with a display tester every 3 days or so. Yesterday I noticed that the spot where status bar is used to be in portrait mode is brighter than the rest of the screen when displaying blue, white and grey colors. Brighter not Darker. I searched on Google images and that doesn't look like burn in. It wasn't here until yesterday when I spotted it. It's barely visible with display tester but in Games videos photos and multi colored things it can't be finded, You need to look with max attention. I used Nova launcher to hide the status bar. I also heard that there are 2 different things, image retention which is fixable and permanent burn in. I searched for something like this but I don't seemed to find something good. I don't know what it is,I never browsed the Web without changing the pixels where the status bar is for more than 20 minutes. I heard burn in occurs in extreme cases. I don't know how this happened so that's why I'm asking you guys. I don't know even what to do it bothers me only in display tester, but otherwise the screen is perfect. Please give me an advice because I don't want to have a faulty screen.. Can it even be repaired under warranty for that?
No one knows what's the problem?
Maybe you could post a photo ?
Look at the top of the screen...That's actually what I'm seeing when looking on a blue test background.This kind of discoloration/brightness where the notification bar usually is when in portrait mode.This is not a screenshot or photo ,it's just a blue image that i modified to show about i'm talking about.It also happens on grey and white and cyan .I couldn't take a photo because i have a crap 7 MP shooter ,and one crapper 2 MP shooter on my old Galaxy Y.I tried them both but noone of them can catch thatstrange discoloration/burn-in/brightness
Xda don't let me to post links..That's the link without the X'es so delete X from this link to go to the image hXttp://i4XX4.tinypic.coXXm/2w4g39j.jpgX
I really don't know what this can be.
I have the same problem! I noticed it a few weeks ago. The bar on top, when in full screen mode, is slightly brighter/lighter compared to the rest of the screen. I can see it the most when using the browser. The screen looks slightly more yellow compared to the grayer (or something like that) bar. Remember the bar is not actually there, just the discoloration in its place. I have no idea what is causing this and I'm hoping it's not hardware related.
It ain't hardware if it shows up in a screenshot. Looks like the exact dimensions of the status bar, almost as if it's compositing it or it's shadow placeholder where it expects it to be. Try a different ROM, or install the Simplistic Framework and try changing the status bar's colour and transparency setting, see if it makes any difference.

I wrote that.It doesn't show up in screenshots.I edited a blue picture to look exactly like my phone screen.The problem I think it's the screen itself.And the reason for why I edited a picture is that as I said my shooters can't spot it.Any ideas?Also I use the stock ROM ,un-rooted..Everything stock ,including the notification bar.I just have a custom launcher wallpaper and widgets...
It shows up when you turn the phone in landscape mode as well. It remains on the side as a vertical discoloration where the notification bar resides when in portrait mode. I'm not pleased to say the least.

Exactly what's happening to me.
Made in china phones r crap..made in korea by samsung is gud quality
If you have the warranty the warranty, why not use it? Since the problem is from the phone itself.
This is same like what happen to OG note..i thought sammy already solve the problem when they using RGB instead of pentile on our note 2.. this is not good...
I check mine, so far nothing yet. But i afraid now!!

I always set brignest to auto and screen movie mode. So maybe it did save mine from that problem

My phone was on Dynamic and Full Brightness all the time.I love oversaturated and bright screens.LOVE AMOLED <3
Well I found a solution to the problem. It takes time to pull off and is still a work in progress for me but it's working.
I created an image that matched the resolution of the phone screen. I then made a rectangle at the top of this image that presents the exact size of the status bar and colored it white. The rest of the image was colored black.
I installed an app that keeps the screen on without dimming when plugged into the charger. Overnight I display the image I created with the screen set to stay awake and don't dim at full brightness. So what you see is a black screen with a full brightness white strip where the status bar is supposed to be.
This process quickly "ages" the status bar area and it slowly starts to match the rest of the screen. I've been doing it for almost a week and the difference between the two sections of the screen is starting to diminish. I bet a couple more weeks of this and the difference between the two sections will be gone.
I got the problem as well. And I'm telling as many people as I can because I'm annoying like that. Seriously, I hate the fact that I spent such money on faulty phone...Samsung galaxy note 2. <blech>
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
Guys can you help me out with this, its a simple doubt I don't know what it means....Please look at the picture attached and you will find white bright spots(4'o clock position in the image). What is it
P.S IT(THE SPOT) CHANGES ITS BRIGHTNESS INTENSITY WHEN EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT COLOURS, WHEN BLACK ITS ALSO FULL BLACK.
Have you hit the screen or dropped the device recently?
Looks like you have a stuck pixel,try using a video of an off tune signal to see if it fixes,might have to run the video for a few hours.
This might fix: http://www.jscreenfix.com/
Not sure if it's possible to run on a tablet though..

hey xda so today i got my lg g3 but i noticed that it has vertical lines running faintly through the lcd screen, its fairly anoying when you start noticing and for me it kinda ruins the experience, so is it fixable? or simply a thing as the phone is 1440p
I dont see any on mine, you could try to invert colors in the notification panel and if that wont work you should have it replaced.

Hi,
I need a way to color some pixels in white, and I need them to always be white.
In fact, I have a Zenfone 2 551ml. There is a bug: the bottom half of the screen sometime flickers and shows verticals lines. It is a known bug, and it is a HW problem.
But I have found that when the line between the working half and the glitchy half has at least one white pixel, the glitchy half works just fine.
It is weird, isn't it? I know my phone needs to be repaired, but I'm not a home, so a temporary solution would be fine.
I can use root apps if needed.
So does anyone know how to color some specific pixels, and how to have them always colored (on the lock screen, on any application...)?
Thank you
I use a white wallpaper. The settings and search windows work too.
man i registered specially to thank you >>> i used an app called "Overlays - Float Everywhere" to make a whitte dummy overlay across the blinking borders and it worked!!! thank you very much

Thank you for discovering this app! I now use it too, the only problem is that the dummy overlay can't be thin enough :/ But it still fix the bug
i am pretty sure this is not a screen burn or something like that because i was able to get it on a screenshot, i could have sworn the thing where half of the screen was transparent black wasn't there at all before, it only shows in the home screen too
i will make a side by side comparison with the home screen and how its supposed to be
MIUI: 12.5.4
Security: 6.2.1-220525.1.2
what i did before: nothing, it appeared out of nowhere.

As long as it's software related. You have nothing to worry about. Maybe it's miui glitching or u hv turned on smth .. Just keep looking. You'll sort it out.
dude thank you so much
Looks like you're using a custom theme. Maybe that's causing it.
i got it replaced a few times now its just fine so ty
are you use custom Launcher ?
no, just the default miui but now i got it fixed
