I know basically an burn in isn't good, but how much do people have before they've return the phone. I've had the XL 13 days today, and wondering if I should contact Google about the amount of burn I can see in my phone. I keep the brightness on my phone at 50% all the time and seems like a good amount of burn for being at 50% all the time.
Took a couple pics on a grey background, hopefully it visible. I looked on a couple other phones and I can see it in the pics moving the screen side to side a bit helps notice it, depending on the phone.

Even if I had that burn in it wouldn't bother me but when I do the burn in test I can see what looks like burn in at first but then it goes away after a few minutes.
Google RMA any instance of burn in.
I'm on my second exchange. I've decided to keep this one for a few months to wait to see if manufacturing improves then exchange later.
Hopefully in 2018 when we RMA, Google may exchange for the Pixel 3 like they did with Nexus 6P and the original Pixel.
Any burn in is bad. Especially this early
Although many use the term "burn in" it's actually the reverse of that. As the navigation bar is black most of the time, it means the pixels in that part of the screen never light up. As a result they wear off more slowly than the rest of the screen, showing discrepancy against a uniform colour/image, especially grey.
I use Navbar Apps which automatically changes the colour of the nav bar based on the app, it simply means the pixels in that section light up and the wear is similar to the rest of the screen, minimising any appearance of "burn in".

Hello,
I'm having a, most probably, hardware issue with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. At the bottom of the screen, there's a thin green line that shows pretty much at any given point, when the screen is turned on. Here's the picture of it:

There are some known issues with white pixels being displayed as green (due to the PenTile matrix?) at the edges of the screen. For me, most notably, while using the FBreader app.
But this is not the case here - It shows itself at all times, even on the 'Google' splash screen during boot.
While displaying full screen content, like YouTube clips, in place of the green line, there is a line of pixels showing the content, but with very high contrast and warped colors.
Overall, the screen has no other issues.
If anyone has experience with it, is there a way to fix it, outside of warranty return?
Additional info:
It is the GSM version of GNex. I run AOKP build 5 currently with their default CPU/GPU settings. As far as I can recall, the issue started a month or two after the purchase. It seemed to come and go, and now is permanent.
Thanks for any help, ironhalik.
Update: After flashing stock image, jzo54k from Google, the issue is still there.
Yeah, that's a hardware problem if it shows up whenever the screen is on.
Seems pretty hardware related, Idk about you but I love messing with the software of a phone, but I rather just use warranty for hardware stuff..
Gud luck

I had it too, sended it to Samsung, they replaced the screen under warranty. Took 8 days. Received a much better screen, white was much better with low brightness. Very satisfied with the service.

Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all
Hi all. I just found out my note 10.1 upper left part of the screen is acting weird recently, however I have no idea whats wrong with it.
Here's the thing. if i put my tablet away for some times (with screen off), and then i turn on the screen again, I wont be able to see the 'over-brighten-line" as shown in the attachment. After i turned on the screen for quite sometime (talking about a few minutes, after watching a 3 minutes youtube video perhaps), the line starting to show. Even if i turn the screen brightness to the lowest, it wont be as bright, but it is still visible. IF i turn it off again for some time, it back to normal again. then the process repeats.
Anyone know what's up with that? Can I possibly able to fix that on my own? I don't really want to send it back to Samsung, I mean first, there is no more warranty and second, I had a really bad experience with samsung's warranty services for my previous device here in my country. Or if i leave it that way, does it going to hurt the display panel in any way?
Really hope someone who has the knowledge in this is able to help me out. Thanks in advance.
[Edit]: no, i never let the device run under hot condition. only drop it like once, not from very high tho. I've never torture the device in anyway, most of the time I use it to watch movies, youtube videos etc.
Here's the attachment.

up.
anyone? I need your opinions and help. thanks..
It looks like just light bleed from the backlight. You should review youtube videos on disassembly and specifically screen replacement ones. I don't know if it is possible to fix it yourself without significant effort. IIRC the glass and screen are adhered with adhesive that makes it difficult. I'm not sure if you'd need to separate them to deal with this.
I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!
So I recently started to notice a vertical line (or lines) on some screens. This normally happens in dark gray-ish backgrounds which are used in many apps as night mode or loading screens.

This is also the place where the see through part of the case begins, when it's closed. The reason I say this is because the case that came with the phone works very weirdly - it does nothing when I close the flap normally, but when I fold it behind the phone it will lock the screen and go into "case mode".
My friend has the same phone and says his works normally, I'll try to get my hands on his phone / case to do some more experiments..
I understand that I should exchange the phone but given that it isn't even sold in my country and there isn't any stock left at the moment, I want to try to solve this if possible.
Has anyone here got the same issue ? Or any experience with such an issue ?
I used to have similar things, only worse, on my older amoleds (Motorola was pretty bad ) but I thought this has since been fixed - just checked my pixel and there are no lines or spots ..

My comparison with mate 9 pro and pixel XL :
I've highlighted the lines that are visible to me with my eyes (not thought the camera) I understand that camera shows a lot of blemishes on all screens but there are clear lines on Huaweis and nothing on the pixel when I look at it .
Bonus galaxy s7:
Also perfect when not looking through the camera ...
Edit: I should also add that this 'defect' is much more noticeable on the PD, even though I can see some lines on the Pro I wouldn't have noticed them through normal use, I think .
