So my phone has been working great for over a year now or so but all the sudden just recently it has been looking kind of weird. It has lines wherever the words are like if you're reading Facebook or typing something out it'll have five lines. 3 through the words and one line on top and below. It looks like halogen lights are behind it. Like you can tell some are darker and some are lighter. Also when you unlock or lock the screen, there is a temporary flash of green. Sometimes the green is small and sometimes it's a big flash of green on the whole screen. Example of what is happening in the linked youtube video.

Just do a backup and try a factory reset for now

When I press on the very bottom of the screen (edge of the glass), it acts as a click to about 1/3 the way up the screen. This is annoying by its self (and doesn't seem ROM related) but also my screen sometimes locks up, with a point at about 1/3 the way up the screen, and horizontally in the middle, and I can't do anything until I lock the screen and leave it off for a second. More recently, but related to this issue, the keyboard when typing hasn't been accurate. I've tried to type 'a' but got caps or 'q' instead, and I get letters I didn't press.
This is not ROM related, as it started happening on CM6 about a week ago, and I've flashed Ava V9, Myn's 2.2, FrEaKy Evo, and CM6, and I have tried stock kernels, and Kings. It seems to lock up more when plugged in also. I've been watching the forums and I haven't seen anyone else post about this, is it just me? It seems very hardware related, but if there is a fix for it that someone knows about, please let me know.
If I get around to it I might take a video of what I'm talking about, but probably only if it's requested.
I'm currently running Myn's Two-Point-Two with King's CFS #11 and am still getting the issues. I've rebooted, and wiped cache/dalvik, flashed new roms, reflashed, nothing.
I am having the exact problem, except that the spot that keeps getting phantom clicks is at the very top of the screen, so the drop down bar starts freaking out. I downloaded the program 'dotty' and it is showing that a touch is being registered in the expect spot, so I'm pretty sure it is just an issue with the screen hardware. I want to take it to a sprint store and see if they can replace just the screen instead of getting a brand new phone because I have so much stuff downloaded on it and I don't want to lose data/settings.
It happens a lot, but then I will have days at a time that it stops happening...its just very strange.
Its good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Currently running rooted stock froyo. unrevoked forever. Original June 7th release device.
same here...was happening witht he W/q as well...but when your viewing a white page you can see a light on the screen brighter than the rest...

W/q? what are you talking about there?
also the light bright spot is completely unrelated: evo developing a light spot in middle of screen
Screen burn possibly due to overclock
Bright spot in the lower right of screen

I downloaded dotty, and it's saying my spot is at:
X: 159.6
Y: 363.5
and P which I'm assuming is the size of the area being touched at .937.
I tested P and it does seem to be how big of an area you're touching but the biggest that I could get using my thumb was only .235, so it's a huge area and constantly in the same spot. Some times it gives me two points or one a bit up and to the left.
So I haven't seen this brought up anywhere and I really find no rhyme or reason to it and figured I would post here and see what responses I get.
Been with my Note10+ almost 2 weeks now and overall i like it, but the lack of LED notification is one of the major downfalls to it; for me anyway. (Yes I know you can add them with apps etc.)
Now let's get to my question part. When my phone is plugged in and charging it give you the default readout with the time to full and percentage on the bottom as well as the 4 red LEDs in animation across the top camera. Every so often I will get a large circular LED flash just to the right of the camera. Sometimes it has flashed blue, and other times its flashed red. Sometimes it will flash and I will have various things in my notification bar such as an app update, and sometimes it will flash just cause it feels like it.
So has anyone else seen this or have any kind of definitive answer as to what that LED flash denotes?
And surely with there being and LED set under there, theres got to be a way to take control of that for notifications I'd think? Look forward to hearing your responses.
Sounds to me like you're using some other notification app. I've tried one which added the charging lights across the top, I don't remember which it was.. Arc lighting maybe . These are not standard. I'd imagine the flashing you're experiencing is related to whatever app you're using which is adding the charging lights.
Also there is no LED under the screen... the screen is actually made up of millions of Tiny LED's.

You have a 3rd party app installed causing that.
I'm not sure how to describe it - I may be paranoid or something but I've observed that sometimes while scrolling on the screen, i see a very thin line flickering on the touch screen for like 0.05 second then it goes away. It happened on the middle left side of the screen.
If anyone has observed this issue let me know as well. Thank you.
I've seen this as well, it didn't occurs everytime but you can see it, sometime on the left side close to the notch, sometime on the middle of the screen..
But until now, nothing to horry about, lets see in the next 3 months
Alright glad to know it's not happening to me only.

I've written about it with detailed description in the following post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/help/strobing-horizontal-stripes-rn8-pro-t3990077
I think we have send bugreports using "Feedback" app.
So I've gotten Redmi Note 8t half a month ago or so.. and about the time I updated to MIUI 11 I've started experiencing this weird bug.. Any app or screen or page or icons from the home screen or buttons from apps that remain turned on for some time (literally anything longer than 15 seconds) kind of stay "etched" on my screen for some time (relatively equivalent to the time the relevant app/screen/page was turned on).
I have no idea why this is happening so any help would be massively appreciated. A photo of the problem attached.
Ps this bug appears on every darker screen, not just on home screen.

the images don't seem to be loading for me, but looking at your description it appears to be a burn-in problem.
I'd suggest you bring it to a service center to have it checked.

Thanks for your reply. Try opening them by clicking on the link and then tapping on "view full image" - it's the only way they'll load I've no idea why, today the whole xda website behaved very unresponsive for me, maybe they didn't upload properly.
Anyway I've just now googled "burn-in" (yep I'd never heard about this before) and from whar I've seen it seems pretty similar to my problem.
Although, in my case, the icons/buttons/keyboard letters that "etch" themselves into the screen after being used for some time do disappear after some time (usually dependant on the time those apps/icons/letters were shown/used on the main screen.
PS The thing is new, I've no idea how this could have happened.

I had this issue with a Moto G5, apparently it is not permanent, wich is nice, because when its permanent like in the case of amoled displays, the only real solucion is to replace the display. In this case to minimize it I downloaded a blue screen filter app and lowered the screen brightness to around 70 or less, btw this usually happens when you are watching bright stuff or when the phone is hot, also try to use dark mode whenever you can.
FOUND A SOLUTION
After tampering with many a setting, I found out that setting the colour temperature of the display in the stock settings of the phone to cool renders the burn-in almost completely invisible.

I'm just not seeing what you report, either in the video or on my own phone, sorry.
I kind of see a jump. It looks like multitouch is acting up. Do you have anything on the screen (or touching it in any way, such as a case or protector). If there is no physical input to the screen maybe a factory reset? It could be defective.
turn on "Show Taps" in developer mode to check for ghost touches,
Return it
