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.

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?
Has anyone noticed their GN turn on by itself and turn off? I've notice this happening a few times a day and each time I think it's shutting itself off but its not. Nothing is running or the table wasn't nudged in any way. I can only catch a glimpes of the screen turning off before I notice it. There's also nothing moving or any light to reflect off the screen to make me think its a reflection...
Just wondering if anyone else notice this... I hope it's not all in my head.
Could be an app doing this, are you using: Delayed Lock, Unlock with WiFi, any lockscreen replacement app?
never thought about the delayed lock... That seems likes the easiest answer to this.
Thanks!
Yup, if you are using DelayedLock that is most definitely the problem, and one of the reasons I abandoned the app. That and it doesn't play nice with Juice Defender.

If you lower the screen brightness all the way down and open the stock internet to Google, and tap the search bar to pop the keyboard up, you'll see a slight flicker. So far on every display s4 at the store has the same problem. Anyone have an idea if this is software or hardware related?
Huh, I dont have that problem on my phone. Just tested it.

Same here. Tested and experienced no flickering issue.
Are you talking about the smearing issue when the phone is dim all the way and you have white text on black background. Text turns hazy purple when u scroll. If so this is a known issue that's been reported here already.

I've noticed flickering on super white backgrounds. It's hard to see and it's got to be the right lighting and high brightness. IMO if you need to go through a process to see a slight flicker, blobs, etc., it's not really a concern. I'm assuming it's software related.. Same with the text blur.

Is your brightness ALL the way down to? Thats when you notice it.

Well yeah thats what I mean't by flicker lol. I honestly think the oled screen samsung put in the s4 is a little faulty and they needed to calibrate it better before shipping.

mine is fine
Settings -> My Device -> Display -> Uncheck Auto Adjust Screen Tone
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
mine does it. also, turning off auto tone doesnt help. with me at least
mine does it... unchecking the auto adjust doesnt help.
Most users wont notice it. Hell, I myself didn't notice it until someone pointed it out on their device and I tested and saw it. OCD kicked in.
Go in any app with the keyboard popped up and go into the Sun directly hitting the screen and you will see your screen flickering endlessly no matter what app your in

So I fixed the problem kinda but my phone just tripped uber balls on me! The screen does this one thing every now and then where it wants to just go black while trying to receive a call. Whatever no biggie. That's where I was wrong. It seems to be happening a bit note frequently now. Well today I was watching TV and all of a sudden my options g wouldn't turn on. I mean I was pressing the volume rocker and I could feel the phone vibrate and such but the screen was straight BLACK! anyone ever get this before? If so what did you do for a fix. Oh PS I'm not rooted. My PC broke down and all I have now is my Mac and I don't how to root with a stupid Macbook pro.

This happened to me once when trying to use the navigation app. So Annoying! I'm not sure how I fixed it though.
On Vanilla RootBox rom.
Hi everyone,
I am having an odd issue. Regardless of the rom I use, very often when either I make a call or receive a call my screen will go black as soon as I answer it or it connects.
The problem though is, i Can't get the screen to go back on until the call disconnects. If I do get the screen to go on by mashing the buttons, the second I get back to the screen that shows the call it goes black again.
Also, at the same time when this happens, people cant hear me, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel according to them. I literally have to scream. The only way I can take call normally is hope it doesnt go black instantly and switch it to speaker phone. Then it works fine.
I am currently running carbon 4.4.2, but its not a rom issue in my opinion as this was happening when I ran Liquid and paranoid.
Any ideas, its getting to the point where its getting very annoying.
Thanks again!
I'd Odin to stock.
And start customizing my phone 1 step at a time to see if something I had running was causing the problem.
