[Q] Screen burn in?

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

Bump for more ideas?

My incredible has seen better days..

My incredible will text by itself sometimes (like when I'm typing the screen will freeze and punch random letters like "jgklkon" and ill have to pull the battery to temporarily fix it) and have SMS errors, its not the rom cause I went completely stock and it still did it, any suggestions?

That's what I call it, Ghost in the machine. I get this type of "take over" where my icons get highlighted in a rotating manner even turning my desktop pages. A couple of battery pulls usually clears it up. I don't know what causes it. I'm running CM7.1

Yeah, I've had that. It's very surprising.
I was given advice to carefully clean the optical track ball. I did and the problem has stopped.
I have no advice to give about phantom texting, sorry.

I had a similar problem on stock, no more on custom roms thankfully

Unlock opening dialer

Getting quite annoyed with this now. About half the time when I unlock my HOX by pulling the ring up, it launches into the dialer instead of the launcher. I thought I might have been accidentally dragging the quick launch icon, but just tested it about 20 times to make sure, and I can drag the ring anywhere on screen, after the quick launch bar has faded and it still happens.
This happening for anyone else?

Unlocking the phone brings you to the last open activity. If you lock your phone after using the dialer, you'll unlock it on the dialer. (Un)locking is not like pressing Home.

I know that. It does this no matter my last open app

this thing happen to me when i charging my phone.. my guess its has something to do with HOX screen sensitivity when on charging status..

yeah it seems related to the touch sensitivity issue when charging, mine does this occasionally.

Happens to me too. I think it has to do with bad coding and unfinished software. My previous phone was Dedire and never had any problems with it. But I'm very dissapointed with the hox. It seems as if it was built with only one thing in mind, get it oit before samsung. Bad move in terms of quality

just a follow up, not near a mains charger at the moment, and can't seem to reproduce when charging from PC.
Is everyone having it launch the dialer, and if so, do you all have the dialer as your first quicklaunch app?
Will be fiddling with this issue later on, because it's just weird

I noticed this when I first got this phone, I just moved the Dialer icon elsewhere on the Dock and it never happened again, strange but a non issue.

Pls read the above thread, just posted my theory there for this issue, its probably about time we start a proper thread for this issue.
I'm sure this is related to the charging issue, the charging problem screws up the touch's on the screen, which is why the phone app seemlingly appears randomly

[Q] Keyboard Shadow/Outline on Homescreen

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

Screen burn in

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.
