About two weeks ago I noticed that there appwared to be an image of some sort burned into my screen like the older LCD TV's used to do if they where left on to long. I was gonna just buy a new phone since I'll get the upgrade price but I think it was either the next day or the following day everything was fine. Now again earlier today I noticed the samething was happening just in a different pattern. Is this a sign that my screen is dying on me?

The other strange thing is I can only see them on a white screen like xda, text or facebook

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

This kinda sucks because I have a feeling it's a hardware issue, I'm over my 14 days and I'm scared that I might get a phone with LOS. Damn I thought I almost got away with a problem free epic.......

Same is happening to me, I made a thread about it and no help, might be a hardware issue.

tonight mine freaked out a little bit but not exactly the same as yours. My phone appeared to freeze up for a few seconds and then anytime I pressed any of the capacitive buttons the voice talk app would say "what would you like to do?" I had to reboot it to get it to stop.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

Well front desk girl almost ate this phone.... I felt kinda bad abt it afterwards.. Repair guy stayed behind the glass window... So after some pressure, they decided it was a hardware issue with the touch screen, an replaced the phone.

Yea, I get this issue every now and then. Some of the ROMs give me less frequency, but it always seems to happen again.

congrats on getting a replacement. unfortunately, im outside my 14- and 30-day period so i suppose im stuck with this issue
anyone with any more info on this? Mine starting doing this recently.
Factory Reset was a no fix.
This started happen to me too, my home button gets "stuck" when i press the power it would take a screen shot. I hope its not a hardware issue, i really baby my phone. I am calk rom 2.0. Also i belive samsungs warrenty should cover it for free.

Damn, that doesn't sound right. I wouldn't wait if it happens anymore. If you don't have insurance, will they charge the $100 deductible?

I'm new to this phone, bought it two days ago and just rooted it today. Ever since I got the phone there's always been a 1-2 sec delay from the time I press the power button to when the screen unlocks. I've searched around but every thread I've found turns into a bunch of mindless arguing over to whether it's a problem or not. I would just like to know if there's a way to get rid of it or if it's something I just have to learn to live with. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated :]
I've never noticed / never takes more than a second from push power to unlocked screen.

There is no fix other than changing the minimum cpu but that would drain your battery. I guess the issue has gone unnoticed for me after using this phone for about a nine months.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It could be noticeable when coming from other devices but if you have stuck with Samsung for your smartphones for sometime it will probably go unnoticed. I thought that too when I first came over.

Not had any problems like that on mine yet...
Usually most apps do well to make use of the screen estate unlike iOS.

No problems here either, all the apps and games I have are using the entire display!

Great to hear. I keep trying to find something wrong with this phone so I do not want it.. but I cannot and release date is fast approaching. I bought the evo 4glte just a few Short months ago and when I heard about this phone I convinced my hubby he really wanted it and I was going to live vicariously through him. Well it was my day yesterday and he wrapped up a cutout of the phone and stylist and said he was going to get the phone and give it to me and he will take my evo. This would have been the first time ever he had a better anything than me .. guess I feel a tad guilty.. like I should say no its your turn for a new phone you keep it.. but man this phone rocks.. the bigger screen will be nice for me since I have horrible vision. Can't wait for it to be released.

I've sent my Galaxy Nexus off for screen replacement twice now - both times, the Samsung UK repair centre in Norwich has said there is no fault found.
It's really not that hard to miss - I have a large area of different colours where the navigation bar lives compared to the rest of the screen. It makes landscape video watching quote annoying.
Has anyone else had problems getting out replaced? Mine was just 11 months old when I first sent it off, back in March. This time around, it was marked as repaired and awaiting delivery on the 10th April - I called today to find out what's happening with it, only to be told it was still on the premises.
Not really the service standards I'd hoped for - the handset was over £500 when I got it.

burn in is normal. this has been beaten into the ground already.
use the search.
I know it happens, though I'd hoped using the pentile display would've eliminated the problems they had with the Galaxy S and S2. My question was has anyone else had issues getting the display swapped when under a year old?
I think at this age, it's a premature failure. Am I mistaken?
Thanks,
Rich

He's not asking if it can be fixed. He's asking if he can get his phone repaired/replaced under warranty because of it.

The 2x you were rejected by Samsung UK.
Ah, I understand now! I thought I'd misunderstood something in an earlier post.

How the hell is it getting that bad!?? I've had my phone since Feb 2012 and I have ZERO burnin.
Are you using the damn thing as a nightlight/desk clock while you sleep at night???! Do NOT leave the screen on for more than 10min MAX with a static output. Be smart about this man.
Lol with how many CLNR's I've gotten they havent had time enough to burn in

No, far from it. Screen is always set to automatic brightness, with 30 second time-out. It's never been left on overnight, used as a sat-nav, or streamed vast amounts of TV or anything like that.
This is why I'm so annoyed - I don't mistreat it. And a phone of this calibre should remain defect-free for longer than 11 months, surely...

This. It happens. I never leave my screen on for more than 2 minutes, unless I'm watching a video, which then the status bar and navbar are hidden.
So it just happens, unfortunately.
Mine doesn't burn-in.but there are two brighter lines than other areas ,at the top and bottom of the screen.

I have 2 identical samsung galaxy S2's both with t-mobile, serial numbers are about 50 apart. I replaced the lcd/digitizer on one of em and switched motherboards a couple times (to update and try rooting/rom-ing em) and both boards have worked fine for weeks, now all of a sudden one of em act's like it did before replacing the screen. It powers on and functions but screen is black, if I switch boards, the screen works fine, switch em back then black screen. What's goin on? Any thoughts or suggestions? Or questions for more info, if needed.

Oh belive me, I've double checked every connection. I know the lcd/digitizer is fine cause it works great with one of the boards, but the other board is like as if the lcd is broken but digitizer still working. They've both worked before.
