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 am experiencing the same damn lines. Seems to be different than the tmo display issues though. On a white big I see dark lines running down the screen.
Same here i'm going to take mine to sprint tomorrow

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"

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.
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.

I have noticed I have a burn-in area where the status bar is. Is there anyway to get sprint to offer me a new one or the possibility of a different phone. I don't have insurance.

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.
When i tilt my phone left the soft keys moves to the other side of the screen, but i still can see a line of where the keys were and the icons. It barely noticable but still noticable even more when brightness is lower. Am i the one with this problem? Any way to fix this?

Its normal for super amoled screens. Try this app to correct it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic

quite normal with sumsung amold lcd，have same problem on my screen. no worry.
I have heard so many people complain about screen burn in on the Gnex, but mine has never seemed to burn in. Maybe I just use it less than some people? But yeah this apparently a pretty common problem where certain pixels get too worn out. I don't think there's any way to fix it aside from getting a new display (I really don't think an app can fix screen burn in, but I guess you can try).
Sorry, and I hope it doesn't get too annoying!
