Screen burn in - Sprint LG Optimus G

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.

Stuck/dead pixel in notifications bar

As of a month or two ago, a bright green stuck/dead pixel has been lingering on the left side of the notifications bar. I am rooted and would like to avoid going to the store to get it fixed. Aynyone know of any quick fixes for it? Appreciate the help.
I don't think you can fix that but I may be wrong

The only way to get it fixed is to get a new phone. There is no way to bring dead pixels "back to life." Back up with titanium backup and unroot and reset user data and go to the verizon store
Is it a dead pixel or a stuck pixel. If it stays black, then all three sub pixels in it would be inactive. But if it has color to it, in your case green, you might be able to correct it.
Either gently rubbing the screen or rapidly flashing random colors on your screen (there's got to be an app for this) might pop it.
Yeah I looked into a couple of apps that did that in the Market. The only issue was the colors they were flashing weren't extending over the area that the notifications bar covers.
Perhaps put a request in the android development and hack / apps and games section for a full screen app to do this?
I actually found two apps that claim to fix issues such as the green stuck pixel that I have and they work in full screen mode. Ill try them out tonight and report back. Thanks for all the help.

[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.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
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?

[Q] How do I set the screen to stay on?

On most Android phones in the Development section you can set the screen to stay on when charging, but that's missing on this one. Any idea where it went, or how I can approximate the same function?
Trying to figure this one out too. "Screen On" in the market allows you to set this as an option, however I seemed to get the loss of signal problem much more frequently when I use this app. I haven't tested extensively so I could be wrong, but I hope this gets added through a custom ROM soon. Listening to Spotify at work is annoying when I have to wake up my phone and unlock each time I want to change tracks.
it was taken off of the galaxy I and II familys because super amoled screens suffer from burn in super easy

I installed ScreenTimeoutSwitch and I'm pretty happy with it. The most it will do is 240 minutes of on-time, but that's not bad.

Galaxy S 1 had it, since I'm coming from an Epic and used to having the feature. Hadn't heard about there being an issue before. That's a problem on car rides, when the point is not to have to reach over and turn on the screen. Also, as far as I'm aware their desk docks and car docks override this and keep it on, so that doesn't jive...
I have been using tasker to set this. Just made a profile that set the screen timeout to the highest when plugged in and then back to 30sec when not plugged in.

Do not set your screen to stay on unless you want to be annoyed by ghosting in about a month. I suggest you use the 15second screen timer and avoid displaying static images.
My OG Epic had some visible burn-in due to my music player staying dimly lit while driving. I could see the player controls in yellow on any white screen displayed.

Odd, my OG Epic has no such problem. And a 15-second screen timer makes the phone next to useless. I find anything under a minute incredibly frustrating to use.
Sorry, these descriptions sound like an unusable device. 15 second timeout, and avoid displaying static images? Sounds excessively fragile. Also doesn't jive with anything I've heard about the device or my own experience with the previous one. I feel like people are being overly-cautious here. As well, if this is true, where's the public outcry? Those limitations are unreasonable and should have prevented this from being a popular technology.

well, alot of the galaxy phones had it disabled. For example, I had the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from Tmobile and it did not have this option with the most recent software update.
Screen burn in is an issue on any amoled display. its not that bad, but if you do get it, it shows up on gray and blue images.
Thats the reason its been disabled on alot of them to prevent burn-in.
Now, if you choose to use a hack or app to keep it on just keep in mind that static images on full brightness after about a few minutes will cause ghosting from screen burn in

Interesting. Well, I will keep that in mind. I've been doing it for a while now with this one with no problem, and obviously when I'm driving the navigation stays on the whole time. Still, it hasn't been very long. I figure if I have issues by the time we're closing in on a year I can always get a warranty replacement to hold me for the next eight months.
I mainly want screen on while I'm driving to reduce distractions/interactions when changing music tracks. I have the car home app and if I use car home when plugged in, the screen will never turn off.

That's exactly how I got the burn in, using pandora and other music apps while driving allowed the controls to burn into the screen.
Now I have a bluetooth enabled car stereo and I can control pandora and my music player through it so the screen can just stay off.
The burn in issue is due to the fact that the blue led will start dimming before the other two. When that happens, the areas where the blues start dying get discolored since the blue subpixels aren't at 100%. I'm not sure if this was resolved with SAMOLED+, but it's probably still an issue. Again, as long as you don't leave a static image that drives the blue high, it won't be an issue.
Does burn in occur when the screen brightness is %100? Or will it also happen when the brightness its turned all the way down?

Faint transparent keyboard in background.

So I've had this problem on almost all roms I've run. It looks like screen burn in, but its not. Obviously.
It disapears after a while, I'm just wondering what causes it.
I searched Google but It's kind a of a hard thing to explain.
I took a screenshot of it, but it kept messing up in the upload. You can barely see it in the pixture. Sometimes it comes up as my text message pop up, or any text box I type in.

I get this too, I'm honestly not sure what it is.
Its mainly from what I've noticed is whitish icons, status bar icons, keyboard, keyboard letters. It annoys me to death some times.

its burn in. its happened on almost every android phone ive ever seen. it goes away.
It's not burn in. Burn in is permanent where as this usually isn't. This is called image persistence, or image retention. I would post a link to wikipedia article but I don't have enough post so just Google Image persistence. The solution to it is to just turn your device off for a bit.

[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
