yep my sister's Gnex start to show some burn in after 3 weeks from the new screen get replaced under warranty because of very bad burn in and now the burn in started again with the new screen only after 3 weeks :crying::crying:
i've used many devices with AMOLED screens ( GS1 - GS2 -GS3 ) and never had any burn in its only happen on Gnex
what should i do ? maybe sell it before getting worse ?
I would turn the brightness down, but that's just me.
What are your screen settings?

Also, does she have it on 24/7? I've never heard of burn in that quick before but if you're on full brightness all the time I suppose it could happen

I have my Gnex for about 2 months now. I always charge it at night when I sleep. When I woke up a few days ago my screen was still on displaying the lock screen. I just noticed the circle with the lock is always visible, especially on dark backgrounds. Is this going to go away or is there anything I can do about it?

Yeah I guess it's burnt :\ Warranty?
Warranty or (if you're carrier locked like me) bug the carrier for a new phone.
Mmm, I think it is not as noticeable as before, if I notice it more later I am going to try to get a new one. Thanks for the help!

Well, day 19 on my Note 2 and the screen exploded lol. Well, ok, it wasnt a raging fire and flames explosion but the AMOLED screen deffinetly disintegrated on me. It was never dropped / never handled roughly and has been babied. I woke up after putting it on the charger the night before and when I woke, the entire Screen "under the Digitizer and Glass" was splintered into a million pieces. the touch response was 100% and the glass was 100% but within an hour of screen on time, it completely went black and died.
After taking it to a repair center and them opening up the phone, they told me it was rare but it can happen with a faulty screen. Something about an airpocket expanding when the screen gets hot and causing the AMOLED to crack and bleed.
I would have taken a picture but I unfortunately do not have a camera available at the time. Good news is, Sprint replaced the device with a new one because they don't have any refurbished units yet.
Anyone else seen/heard or had this happen before ? I was kinda shocked and ready to kill the wife for breaking my phone haha.
whoa thats crazy
Must have been horrific. Did you lose any thing?

I normaly run around here while at work so sorry for the delay in replying.
My phone was 100% Stock - had not got around to rooting and modding just yet as I was still learning the ends and outs of stock for work first.
I didn't loose any data on the phone as I had everything backed up.
The SRC guy still has my phone showing it off to random techies as its the first one he has seen do that.
I have had my note 2 for 8 months now. Only recently i have heard about the screen burn in issue that is the low life of the screen especially the blue pixels. since i have to use this phone for another 2.5 years or such, what should i do about this? can i get the screen repalced while my warranty is still there and what do i say?
pls help!
blue shouldn't really be a problem.
they made the blue subpixels bigger to compensate for their shorter lifespan.
you can also increase your screen's lifespan by using primarily black wallpapers, black themed apps, and night mode in browsers and e-book apps.
a convenient bonus is that this way you'll also increase your battery life, because it costs almost no power to display black on an OLED screen.

I started having the burn in effects after 6months of usage. And it doesn't follow a pattern it's just a random mark that shows on grey colours. I doubt your warranty will cover that as its a widespread issue that Samsung seems to shy away from, but you won't lose anything if you try to get a replacement just make sure you can easily replicate this issue when you try to show it to the service center.

Has anyone else experienced bad screen burn-in / image retention issues with their Note 2?
I've only had the phone just over 90 days, but I've already got some pretty severe burn-in. I use an app for equities trading several hours every day and after a few months of use, the icons and other parts of the app that remain static are plainly visible at all times on any screen that isn't completely black.
For now to slow it down I've re-themed the app and replaced as many static elements as I could with transparent .PNG files and no text.
Any idea if Samsung will replace the display under warranty for these types of issues? (From what I've been able to find, it sounds like they refused to cover it for the S3, then reversed their position and began covering it for some folks - curious what their policy is now)
Here's an example screenshot - this is a blank white screen. It's MUCH more noticeable in person.
Although I havent had it in my note 2 yet, my galaxy s2 had it. I went in to sprint and they swapped it for me because I had insurance. Didnt pay anything. Goodluck though.

I had it bad on my S2. The notification bar and active apps icons were visible on all white and blue screens and so was my keyboard. Sprint sent me home said they don't see that as an issue and the phone works fine so as long as it worked they don't care. Samsung on the other had took down notes then asked me to ship it to them. Never got to send though because the lady refused to be without a phone. As of now my Note 2 has been burning in the notification bar again after about a month of use. I think that's why they made the S4 notification bar the same as whatever ur background is.

Because the damage cannot be reversed, try inverting your screen colors to see if you can get the other pixels to burn in and equalize. I did about 5 minutes of Google research and saw that the blue pixels burn out the fastest, so trying a negative color should burn the rest of them. Inverting colors can be found in Settings --> Accessibility or (in CM10.1) Settings --> Advanced (under device) --> Screen (tab).

Thanks for the suggestion..
I'm giving that a try, but I imagine it'll be hard to even out ~3 months worth of 4-6+ hour a day usage..

Probably, but it is a fix. Your only other option is to let it continue burning out the pixels as before, without inverting the colors, in the hope that you may be able to RMA/warranty the thing. I guess AMOLED screens are known to have this issue. Call up Sprint or Samsung and see what they will do if the problem gets worse.

All monitors will do it, given enough time.

Apparently for Samsung's Amoled displays, "enough time" equals ~90 days of several hour a day usage.
I was aware that the display could suffer from burn-in/image retention, but I had no idea it would happen this badly and this quickly.
Hey guys, so I have a s9 its about 4 months old. Today i just decided to use fullscreen and hide navigation bar and as soon as i did I noticed a total burn in and dicoloration on the bottom of the screen. Now i know amoled has burn in issues, but in 4-5 months? Luckily i am sending it to service and I should get it serviced upon. This is the reply i got when I asked it the issue was prevalent and persisting "The issue will be resolved by our service expert at the our service center, this issue will not occurs after the service.". Seems a little off. So i am wondering are any of you guys having burn in already?

Yes, but my burn in is the status bar after 3 months of owning the phone. (I don't have the navigation keys up all the time since on the S8 it caused burn ins after it's release and I still don't trust it, even after Samsung said that they "fixed it with a software update") When you scroll it down you can see the line where it changes color from normal white to a bit more yellowish white. I even used bluelight filter quite often to not use the blue pixels as often and to prevent burn in, also tried to always stay below the brightest settings, but after 3 month it is quite frustrating to see that it doesn't prevent it. It's called the "best displays on the market" in terms of color and brightness, but is it really, when it burns in after 3 month? My old S5 got burn ins only after 2 years! I will still use my s9 and only send it in before the warranty expires because I need it every day and don't want a new phone where it will happen again after 3 months.
I had this to with galaxy s8. I send it back for repair 3 times for screen burn in. Now i use the galaxy s8 with the brightness slider in half and not having screen in burning issue anymore. And now with galaxy s9 still no burn in after 6 months also with brightness at half.
