Thanks for your help,

Burn-in was a term for LCD screens, not AMOLED.Think of it as something called "reverse led fatigue"
Calling it a burn it is incorrect, but more widely known. Check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27350974&postcount=4

So, can I fix this by putting my phone at full brightness on a white screen for a while?
If it is possible to fix it it would be awesome!

I don't know if it would fix it, I'm afraid, but it might be worth a try?

Try to download movie from the web or make one so the screen wont turn off

And what? A movie with white screen running the whole night? Will that fix it?

You could plug your phone into the wall, make a white image, turn off nav bar(If on custom rom) and select keep phone awake in the dev section of settings.
Or you could go the movie route, but plug it in, so it won't run out of juice in 2 hour

So screen on on white screen will fix my problem? and can't cause other damage?

I would return the phone if you just bought it. It shouldn't have that issue already.

I hardly think anything can take damage from doing so. Just make sure the phone don't overheat but still doesn't get too cold.
Laying the phone near a window overnight can be very bad for it.

They should and they will, if all is like they want it. Just return the phone to stock in all aspects. I don't think it matters if it's yakju/takju/yakjusc etc.

Over time burn in can happen. But if the phone is only one day old then maybe I'd return it? I hide top and bottom bar daily and browse the web to exercise all the pixels to avoid burn in.

Hmm.. smart
To everyone: AFTER 3 HOURS OF WHITE SCREEN THE BURN-IN IS DISAPPEAR FOR A BIT! Tommorow i will try it longer, because battery is death
Thanks for that idea

Do consider that if you return your gnex for warranty purposes, you may get a refurb with horrible screen.

This is a factory defect. I just called Verizon and they replaced it. Should be here tomorrow, I had the same issue and tried all the remedies. It's just a defective panel to be honest. If you can get a new one, do it.

If it's just ghosting that can be temporary.

[Q] SGH-I467 boot up problem

When I boot up my SGH-I467 (Galaxy Note 8 AT&T LTE) it nearly always displays a screen that looks as though its damaged – just horizontal coloured lines or blocks of colour across the screen with no hint of any image. It only boots up correctly about 1 time in 20 or 30. Once it does boot up correctly everything works fine and there’s no hint of anything wrong with the screen itself. It’s also OK if I just turn the screen off between sessions. However, after recharging the tablet the problem recurs when I switch on. Its on firmware version 4.1.2 which appears to be the latest available for this AT&T version. Any ideas on what's happening and a fix?

I'm very disappointed that my post has had 118 views but no replies so I've added two photos of the screen showing what usually happens when I boot up. Note that about 1 time in 20 or 30 it boots up fine and operates perfectly in every respect and I've then been able to use it for hours continuously without any problem whatever.
Does any one know whether this is likely to be a screen/digitizer problem or something else?

I have never seen this and I have the same model. It sounds like whatever it is, you should be able to take it in for warranty service.

I'd say probably the screen and not the digitizer

Thanks for comments. Although its only about 3 months old it was a gift from the US and I live in UK so warranty service probably isn't an option.

There's a post in this forum about screen replacement and I think that he does them as well. If you can't find a solution, then it may be the best way to go. Also, try asking Samsung themselves. If you explain the situation, they might be able to help you.

I'm hesitant in attributing this to a screen problem. I normally swich off the device between sessions of use but then have the problem booting up to a good screen. However, I thought it would be easier just to leave it running and the screen has perfomed fne for the last 72 hours with me just fully dimming screen between sessions of using the tablet. Is there anything else that might cause this?

The only things that i could think to suggest would be
1) Have you tried wiping the cache?
2) Have you tried a factory reset?
I'm no expert, but if it were my device I would try both of these before sending the device in for warranty service.
Not saying either is a sure fix, but thats what I would do.

Sorry for long delay in responding to your suggestions. I'd already tried a factory resent but not wiping the cache. I did both of these after your suggestion but no change to the fault.

[Q] GPS and 4GLTE problems with note 4

Hello All, I am requesting help with a Galaxy Note 4 that I have purchased on the cheap.
I recently purchase a unlocked Galaxy Note 4 on craigslist for $340.00 yes you heard right $340.00. I seen this phone advertised and decided to take the risk and purchase the phone. Let me just say right off the bat the phone seems to be fine however there are a few issues that I believe can be corrected. The phone seem to have originated from another Country because if you press the volume up and the power and the home button to get in to recovery mode the phone just displays Chinese or Japanese writing and selections. I can read either so not sure what it all says. Also the phone seems to have been upgraded to Android 5.0 I am not sure if this maybe the root of the problems.
so to get to my problems, 1st off after configuring the APN info the phone will only connect to ATT network with H++ I believe this is HSPA. it kind of seems weird that 4GLTE would have been totally eliminated from this phone. another weird thing is the phone has a selection screen for APN type and all of the settings are not there it's Missing. you can check the boxes for default, mms, supl however hipri is nowhere to befound on the selection screen.
The last problem is a little more serious for me. the GPS will never acquire a lock or find satellites. Because I work as a onsite Tech it's a must for my GPS to work. I remember many years back I would root my phone and flash the firmware and you would have to go into recovery mode and set GPS settings or something I just can't seem to find any info on these problems at all.
Thanks in advance for your help
Any advice or directions would be appreciated.

I don't have a way of taking pictures of the phone itself can I take some screen shots of the menu of something.
if so what menu would be best to see.
thanks,
update: I have checked all the tell tell signs that i may have a fake phone and i don't think I do. the S pen seems to work fine and the Samsung logos are all right and no crazy gaps in the buttons on the phone.
However i am still a little worried.
update2: I figured out that I do have a unlocked note how ever the serial points to a galaxy S 5 and in the information screen it says its a N9100 so I am not sure what I really have. no other model numbers can be found anywhere on the phone so ....

Maybe head over to a store and do a side by side comparison?

i have gone to the store to do a side by side

I have done this and the look just alike however the ATT rep said my serial points to a Galaxy S5 so that is very weird.......

A quick Google search says the N9100 is a China model. It may not have lte... does it have dual sim slots?

[Q] LG G4 backlight issue?

Hello,
I have in every app this bright bar at the top of my screen.
I have the H815 version.
It looks like backlight bleed but i am not sure.
You can see it the best in de notification dropdown.
Do you guys have it too?
Thanks,

First one did, more like the brightness inconsistency throughout the screen. I just received the replacement and much better now. I'd request for the replacement of I were you. They gave me a brand new phone since I was within the "return policy"

The top and the bottem of my screen are also brighter, just a slight bleed, but it doesnt bother me as long as it stays that way and doesnt get worse. Im pretty sure the only way it can be fixed is either by replacing the dispaly or getting a new phone.

A70 Pink Line

Well, woke up over the weekend and my phone has a pink line running vertically on the screen, doing some research it seems the S7 edge had the same issue. I tried going into the hidden settings and toggle the red/blue/green but it didn't fix it. Really seems to me like its a hardware issue. Contacted Samsung USA and they don't show the A70 as a US variant, so looks like I'll have to contact Samsung Canada? Anyone have any suggestions on next step?

i think it is something in develop mod
try to play there or reset settings

I cant really visualize. But if it is a vertical straight thin line, then your screen might be damaged.
