Has anyone noticed on low brightness and a grey or white screen you can see the stock.keyboard outline? Is this common or should I get a replacement?

I've got that too! Doesn't bother me too much though!
Yeah, the bottom half of my screen also is getting a slight discoloration at lower brightness levels. It's just the way these screens work - if you get a replacement the new one will eventually do it as well over time. I've resorted to minimizing the keyboard off the screen as much as possible when I'm reading text messages or whatever app it may be.
Will the One X or the S3 suffer from burn in? I had that problem with the SGS2. I was hoping it wouldn't happen to this phone. I haven't noticed any burn in yet.
I've noticed it as well. Never saw burn in on my epic 4g (sgs1). So I found it as a shock seeing it on this screen. It fades slowly but I fear when it will never go away.

Are you sure it really is a burn-in per definition?
You know what, read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22792659&postcount=13
Excellent explanation by chopper the dog who says it's not a burn in.

Have not seen this on mine at all.
yeah i thought so have you guys tried the dark room test to see ?
I have the same problem where you can see traces of the keyboard on a white screen like google or something. Im wondering if sprint will replace the phone for free since this is a hardware problem???
Does anyone know?

here is a link for those who dont believe me
what are your settings? it would be easier for us to try and replicate what you are seeing on our phones if you would tell us what exactly you are doing on your phone to see these lines. what brightness, what wallpaper, what app, etc..,?

so does anyone know what Im talking about with the letters of the keyboard being burned into the screen?
I looked at the test and what they are showing I don't have that problem on mine however.
Most likely you will not have these issues with our phone. If u are having white lines or burned in images on your screen.I suggest going to the sprint store .

I have horizontal lines going up and down my screen. it only happens at around 80% and 20% battery with the brightness below half. it is best seen on a white backround. I looked into it and I have come to the conclusion its these screens.

Yes me too its not ideal by anymeans but I have a feeling even if exchanged.it wont make a difference. Besides still looks amazing
So i called sprint they wont do anything. Its not affectin performance in anyway. I think if i become major anal ill do a asurion replacement.

It's a bad display, regardless of what they tell you. I had the same exact problem on the first S2 epic touch I got. There are lots of them out there with that same problem, not sure if it's a manufacturer defect or what, but definitely not supposed to look like that. I took mine in after 3 days of use , I was NOT gonna ride with a display like that, (for me it was even worse in a dark room with low brightness, really obvious then...also had a pink tint when scrolling on the white background xda app), got a replacement and it is perfect. No dark/light lines, etc.. Everything looks great no matter what I do.
Sorry to hear cause it sucks, considering how high end this phone is..

I have both t mos and sprints GS2. Both have the same problem, altho the tmo you can see it more on tmos. I would say they are bad screens becouse the epic 4g did not have this problem. Its called the "brushed metal effect"

Question for you all.
I paid for a gn from the Google play store. Got it, love it. It did ship with 2-3 bad pixels. So I called Samsung and they sent me a replacement. Got it today. No bad pixels, but..... the screen color is messed up. The left side of the screen is normal but the right side has a reddish hue to it. No big deal, except it is. And its driving me crazy. Has anyone else has screen issues like this?
Also, this happens/happened on BOTH gn that I had. I have the stock jellybean wallpaper up, I open the dialer and let it sit there. Then I hit the home button and the screen still shows the ghost image of the dialer numbers, then it fades away. It is very similar to the image burn in of an LCD or Plasma TV. But it is faint and fades in a few seconds. Has anyone else noticed this? I have had several other android phones, and none did this.
Thoughts?

The ghosting effect is pretty normal however that goes away after awhile and doesn't always happen, something with the OLED screen. However, the reddish hue on the other half of the screen seems to be a problem as I've never heard of that happening before.
Exchange it right away. Many Nexus' have screen problems but there are those that are without any / minimal. I wouldn't settle until I got a screen without any discolorations and any ghosting, especially since it is new.

thanks for the tip... i have no issues whit my screen but i've tried this app just to see...
Do you know how long (time) is necessary to create burn in effects on OLED's? i've read that on LCD (modern ones) its good to refresh the entire screen every 2 hours (if you use a static image of course) but i cant find any info on Oled tech...
I have had mine less than a week and there is one area that slightly darker than the rest in a line about one pixel wide. There are bunch of individial pixels with the same darkness also. Is this going to be worth a trade in? I'm not sure if it will get worse over time or not.
So I understand this is a recurring issue with some AMOLED displays, but is anyone else noticing black splotches on your screen if you put a fully black image on the screen, turn the brightness all the way down, and look at your phone in a very dark room? I'm curious how common it is before I complain. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can capture it. It looks kind of like an ink trail near the middle of my screen. Thanks!

I just checked my over 2 year old SGSIs screen and do not see any blotches. You are also the first person that i have read about that has any problems. That does not mean youeare alone however. I have heard many running 4.2 complaining about black artifacts being seen on the screen.

I have them on mine; there are two splotches about 3/4" long roughly in the middle, just left of center. Doesn't bother me though, since I can't see them during normal use.
Had the issue on mu-tiple Samsung skyrockets...the original note and on the s3.
I have seen them on some note 2 but mine I have not found one yet.

I have a small one at the top left of the screen. My first one was right down the middle. My OCD took hold and I swapped it out. It's the same thing on my new one.
Sure, I wish it wasn't there but you really have to have perfect conditions to actually see it.
It actually has something to do with inconsistent electrical charge or something. There's actually a team for this but I can't remember it.
LCDs have dead pixels and amoleds have these splotches.
The DROID Razor is really bad as is the PS Vita. It's just that tech.

I bought my s3 yesterday. and Last night going to bed I have to play with again. I noticed when I have all the brightest low I could see a lot of black dots on the screen and a lot of black lines on the bottom of the screen. Is it just mine or your is too? Again I had my lights off and put the brightest all the way down on the screen. Then try on your phone to get a black picture and you will see. I took a screenshot of it but I can only see these black stuff with low bright. If this is just me I may have to return this baby
Common issue with this phone. Also on the s2

It's a common flaw with super amoled screens I believe

Yeah I noticed about the other thread. I got my phone yesterday and noticed it when I was in bed playing with it. I have the s2 t989 as well and that doesnt have the defect. I understand some of the old s2 have some defect on the screen color but this one is different. It looks like the digitizer was cracked. At the bottom it looks like a signature a bunch of black line and a lot of dots on the screen. Though when I put the brightest a little bit brighter its gone. It doesnt bother me. But This phone is new and it should not have any defect.
Common defect nbd. Not even close to how awful the backlight bleed was on my iPad 2 before I got it replaced.
I do Have the same issue but i'm not sure if goingto change my phone is under warranty!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
known issue. However, my S3 doesn't have any or at least it is much much better than 2 my previous ones. (yes, I know how to check it and Im very picky; Im that kind of guy that goes to the closet to check the screen right after unboxing it). I didn't exchange my phone for this issue. i just happen to get a non-black dot one. Exchange it if you feel so. doesn't affect much tho.
This is on all OLEDs even mine, it is not defect and will not disrupt colors or brightness since they are visible only in pitch black, I don't even think they would replace your phone because of that
