Hi guys I'm a new registered user, but an old follower. I'm here for a strange problem of my GN. In practice, when I open settings, play store, the browser, a strange thing happens: in pictures of gray, blue, white colours, appears in the background a picture of a conversation WhatsApp with the keyboard open (I came to this conclusion after 34503430 observations and it I'm 100% sure it is an old screenshoot, among other things deleted from WhatsApp). So i have done full wipes and also a super wipe and installed other roms but the problem persists. An other strange thing is that when i do a screenshoot the problem in the .png image doesn't appear. So i have taken some pictures with my S3 for showing you the problem. I don't think that could be an hardware issue, because the phone is very fast and smooth, the resolution and the colours are very amazing and all works perfectly. For me there is a partition of this file in the system files. So what could i do?
Thank you for reading and for your time, i've search but no info about that, thank you.

I'm triing to restart my phone from the original version and then i'll reinstall all. But if it will not work what could i do?
That's called a screen burn-in.
Do not use your phone all the time at maximum brightness. To fix this issue, try to put your phone for like 20seconds on a 100% white image covering the entire screen (including the navigation bar). It helped to remove my screen burn-in's
Although I never had the problem that my KEYBOARD O___O got burned in but I had it with the navigation bar but I fixed it very easily with someone's app (don't remember it's name but a user on XDA on the Galaxy Nexus forum posted it to fix the screen issue)

initially thank you for reply. So i'm reinstalling all the system now. The problem is not solved. Now i try your method. I must only set a 100 white image for 20 minutes at 100% of luminosity at full screen? i hope to resolve, many thanks for now.
I'm using tools for remove this problem, so what's the best for you?
Hi Everyone,
I sometimes have this issue, I don´t know if it´s a hardware or software problem, as you can see in the picture (on top to the left) seems like pixels die for a short period of time.
It happened before with ICS, but now with JB it happens more often. It only goes with a reboot or sometimes it just goes away.
Please, let me know if there´s anything I can do about it.
Regards.
FA
If these were dead pixels they wouldn't show on a screenshot.
Can't help you any further but it's definitely not your screen.
Looks like one of those Small Apps automagically launching, freezing and staying on top. Do you have any unusual apps installed?
It's weird, sometimes happens with games, with a phone call, camera, etc... I haven't identified any particular app that causes this.
I have tried uninstalling some apps that show notifications on that area but it doesn't work.
You can be sure those aren't bad pixels though.
If it's happening often and you can't get rid of it, just create a backup and re-flash the phone
I just realized that it's a messy app: SwypePad
As soon as I stopped it, this problem is gone.
Thanks for your comments.
Hello everyone, this is my first post. So recently I have been having a certain issue concerning my lockscreen bothering me. It really isn't a deal breaker, but it messes with my OCD. So at random times, the lock and message (life companion) on my lock screen shrink as shown in the attached image. It does not seem to do anything except for bother me. The lock screen does this unpredictably, but it does not do it often. I have tried a hard reset a few times and it does not fix it. It even fixes itself after a once again, random amount of time. I am not rooted, I use basic touchwiz, basically its how I got it out of the box with some games I installed through humble bundle. Any ideas?

It's a TW bug. It can also happen with the unlock "pad lock" icon that appears on the lock screen if you have no unlock effect enabled. It doesn't affect function and a restart fixes it. Happens to me maybe twice a month. Maybe it'll be squashed with the next official release. No biggie.
Hi.
My Z1C seems to have a similar case of faulty display as described in some other threads here, but actually a bit different. The phone is stock, not rooted, running 5.1.1
Whenever I do something, there are ghost touches in the upper quarter or third of the screen. They only happen when I am not touching the screen myself. It happens no matter what I do. When I browse internet, it clicks links, when I scroll contacts, it calls people, when I am on facebook it gives likes etc... It seems like the more demanding task the phone is performing, the more ghost touches.
I turned on the developer settings and the "show pointer location" option, which leaves track of the last touch on screen, so I can research the issue.
I found out that when the phone is on home screen, it happens very rarely or not at all - the track of my last touch stays until screen turns off.
When I jump into the touchscreen service test, it does not happen at all. I can draw a line around the whole screen and it stays higlighted indefinitely.
In lock screen, it also doesn't happen.
I tried it in Sketch and it confirmed what I thought, when I was just sketching, from time to time a dot appeared in the upper part of the screen, but when the phone was downloading or installing in the background, the screen literally had seizures. I touched and released and then a storm of dots started to appear around the top part of the screen. It stopped after 5+ seconds, and after another input from me, the screen got another fit, drawing more dots.
I don't have any experience, but I think that since the problem doesn't happen constantly and it doesn't even happen at all in test mode, it could be a SW mistake.
I have found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691849 and I'm willing to try, but 1) my phone is still under warranty and 2) I have never done a root so I am not too eager. Do you think I should try that? Or has anyone found another solution for this problem?
Thanks.

As You have warranty, I would strongly suggest that You go for a repair. I had the same issue in beginning, ghost touches appearing randomly, going away only after reboot. I was rooted and xposed, so went full stock without restoring any apps or data from internal storage, yet the problem remained, thus ruling out the point that it was software problem. And then after a week or so, that much part of screen stopped responding to touch entirely. You can see details over here, Another user had same problem as Mine and had the same end result,
OK then, I'll go for a repair. Thanks for the tip.

I am having exactly the same behaviour as you described .
Ghost touches happening on the upper part, and triggered when a demanding task is running.
Actually I didn't realized completely about this, I thought it was just random, but right now after I saw your post, I tried an app similar to Sketch while upgrading apps or playing a video in the background. And dots in the upper part start appearing crazily.
Did the phone repair solve your problem ? Mine is not in warranty, so I'll have to pay for it.
But also in my case, before this thing happened, I got some water damage and that upper quarter of the screen stopped responding.
After replacing screen+digitizer I got this very specific behaviour you described.

In my case, I realized that I bought (probably) a badly re-fitted phone. Display's backlight was visible around screen panel edges, where I'd say it shouldn't be visible at all. I decided to return the phone and got a refund.
Sorry for not being able to help you.

Ok. The aftermarket screen I got has that issue with the screen edges also. Very probable you are right.
In my case I water damaged myself. It seems that after 2 years of intensive use, waterproofing is gone, by accumulation of slight hits or so, never had a single crack on the screen. I read many posts reporting this happening, even with much less use time.
Too bad, I loved the phone, but I'm afraid that sending it to repair will mean to change the PCB or similar for a complete fix, which can come to a ridiculous price.
Seems it will be time to move on...
Yeah. If you want it fixed properly, you'd need to send it to Sony, and for the money it would cost you, you can probably gen a new phone. Sadly, similar phones aren't made anymore.
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.

nice to see your problem has been solved!
some LCDs have screen retention when displaying certain colour temperatures.
also, seems like your attached photos are working again
