Hello everyone,
I saw multiple threads already opened for the burn in issue (which I also have from time to time) and I wanted to share my solution with you. It is a simple video, which is changing the three main colors (RGB) very fast. Played for 5-10 minutes on a loop will erease any glitches on your screen (softkeys burned into the screen which is the most commen problem).
Here is the link in youtube:

Here is the mp4 file to upload directly on your device:
STUCK PIXELS or BURN INS RGB VIDEO FIX

To the Moderators: I searched over the forum for a solution and did not find it, I hope I am not overlaping with another old thread, just wanted to help.
Regards.
Hi
I don't mean to thread-crap
but....
after having discussed this issue with HTC themselves they have said its a hardware based issue
whilst its true running a slide show/video full screen displaying solid blocks of colour are likely to erase screen burn-in, the issue will still persist, the underlying cause is a faulty screen panel which must be replaced
Could you upload it somewhere? I could use it, i have a stuck pixel. It's blue on a black background, it should fix it.
I once fixed a big bright spot on a LCD TV with one of these RGB movies.
Hi duke_stix, I agree with you that it could be a faulty display panel, but however I didn't find anyone had it replaced due to that issue. And I know it is a temporary solution, but at least there is a solution

Hello,
I had some problems with the camera button on my cingular 2125 but I managed to fix it just by cleaning it with wd40. Unfortunately a couple of days after the issue with the button was fixed I notice that I was not getting any image from the camera sensor - just black screen.
The same time I was playing with the rom updates and now I am not sure if that might be a hardware or software issue. Currently I am on WM6 perfect english v6 and it works perfect except the fact that I am not getting any image form the camera sensor.
When I turn the camera app on it shows the loading icon for a split of a second as usual but then no image but a black screen. I can actually see the camera image area boundary because if has a different shade of black that the background black but thats it. When I turn the COOL EFFECT picture actually goes blue. Playing with brightness and other settings does not help.
Anyone can tell if it is most likely a fried sensor issue or some driver malfunction.
I think its a driver issue.
I've had the same issue with my phone. If I click on the menu and choose the Reset Brightness option the camera goes back to normal, but anytime I try adjust the brighness settings it goes to black and I have to reset the brightness again. Not sure what the problem is.
I tried with every possible setting in the camera app menu but nothing works. Also when making a video it records the sound but not the image.
I guess since there is not that many people with a similar problem I assume a fried camera sensor or some other hardware issue. I am trying to get a new camera on ebay but no luck yet.
Does anyone know if the camera for 2125/spv c600 can be taken from some other model.
The one from the magician looks very similar except the shorter data tape:

Hi all
Recently started having this issue with my screen - haven't dropped it or anything either. On lighter colored backgrounds there are faint to pretty moderate horizontal lines flickering on the screen. The lines aren't colored or in one specific spot on the screen. It's hard to explain but it is similar to older projection tvs where there are those faint lines(static like) in the background.
I took a screenshot but it doesn't show the lines. I had been using Android Revolution HD 6.1 (great rom btw!!) and I've tried other roms since this began happening (thinking it was the rom) but to no avail. I'm currently running CM7.1.
Things I've tried:
changing roms
turning screen brightness up
turning on automatic brightness
turning down/off various animation settings
turning on light sensor filter in cm7 settings (helps a little)
If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!
I would try unrooting, installing ruu from HTC website and see if problem is still there. If it is then you will be back to stock and can claim your warranty. If problem is gone then just reroot. This is a problem I have not read anywhere though so it is probably a hardware malfunction and would need to be warrantied.
Not a bad idea! I'll give it a shot and share the results once complete.
Installed stock RUU - screen lines still present so probably a screen hardware issue. Going to take it into the store tomorrow and see what they can do
Hi all,
after the last security update (plus some bugfix I think) to G930FXXU1DQEI sw version, brand Vodafone, I'm facing the following issues on my S7 flat:
A wrong background shape for some popups and a strange black spot on the selector , only in google now settings. Please check the attached pictures
I already tried to fix them by recovery with an hard reset without success.

Hi
Definitely odd
I would flash (odin) firmware again , use home-csc ( same CSC that is in your phone right now) so you do not loose any data
After some attempts I can say this issue happens moving the screen resolution from FHD to HD.
I flashed the rom by Odin and worked fine, at the beginning.
After the screen resolution mod the issue is still there.
Moving the resolution to FHD again and switch off/on the issue is not present.

Thanks for letting us know
Hi,
I can confirm this is a bug, to be honest I don't know if it was present in the previous build. I tried to reproduce on another S7 (brand tim) and it is present.
Basically the steps to reproduce this issue are:
Change the screen resolution to HD and restart the phone. Uninstall an app and check the text box shape.
Probably you will find other problem in google now search bar or settings
To fix this issue move from HD to FHD.
So I bought my used S7 recently, the device seems to be totally clean not even a scratch on the frame, looks like brand new and even the software status is OFFICIAL not even the Knox is tripped.
I found a thread on XDA about using an updated version of TouchWiz Home of the S8 for the S7 by installing the APK.
it worked like a charm until I started to change my wallpapers and notice something strange.
im using an application to change the wallpapers auto every 5 minutes, the problem is whenever the wallpaper i use has some bright colors like bright purple or bright red and i press the app button to access the app drawer those colors (ONLY) flicker , they flicker just before the screen get blurred and take u to the app drawer, and also when u go back to the main screen from the app drawer also right after the blur disappear.
i got scared so i uninstalled that Touchwiz Update and came back to stock, to notice that the problem is still there, but its not as noticeable as the s8 TW
i wanted to know if the screen is dying or this is something normal, and also wanted to know if its a software related problem or hardware one, and finally if someone is having the same issue ( i can share a wallpaper if anyone is willing to try wit it )
NB: the screen flicker ONLY ON THE BRIGHT COLOR before the blur effect happens and After it.
Thank you all in advance & i apologize for my English
I made this video If you focus on the second time especially ( when going to the home screen from the app drawer ) you can see clearly the red rose flicker. Sometimes the flickering is harder depending on how bright is the color.

This can only be a software problem, because its also visible in the Video. Your screen is not damaged, and it will not be damaged. This issue is not a problem, maybe only a bit annoying.

It is so annoying for me cuz i had an old S5 plus that ended up with the screen flickering so whenever i see it flickering i got a heart attack.
Is there anyway to fix it i tried factory reset but nothing changed..
Thank you anyway for replying
I think thats a Problem with the Launcher. I've tried it on my Phone, and it is also flickering. You can try to speed up the Animation-Speed in the Developer-Settings. Maybe then you wont see the flickering.
You can see it here, that it is also on my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYKM5ss9EKe3L0M43

Thank you very much !!!! You have no idea how much its relieving to know that this problem is not only present in my device.
For now ill just stay away from bright wallpapers until hopefully Samsung will make fix for this issue.
Thank you again !
EDIT : after i came to the pc and i saw the GIF u made i noticed that we dont have the same flickering , maybe the quality of the GIF wasnt high enough but for me it didnt seem to be te same, so i will ask you one last time when you tried that wallpaper did it show the SAME result as my video for u ?
thank you in advance
Hi, I am using the KW66 smartwatch for 6 months. A few days back, the screen of my watch starts flickering on white color. I have tried resetting the device but nothing happened. can somebody guide me? I have also written a complaint on Gloryfit App but no reply so far!
IMO screen flickering doesn't come out of the blue.
Screen flickering issue is associated with software malfunctions usually get resolved by performing some workarounds. But your chance of obtaining quick and ultimate solution is higher if you could pinpoint the root cause. And this is what you should do first. To help you isolate the problem, try to think of what has happened before the onset of the problem. For example, did your watch's screen start to flicker after making some changes to the display settings or options other than the brightness level? Or did it begin to occur after installing a new app, contents, or Android update? Prior actions are usually the trigger so that is what you need to find out first. Among the possible triggers for you to consider would include but not limited to rogue apps, corrupted files like photos and videos, broken segments or files in the SD card, and software bugs. Once you’ve successfully dealt with the culprit, you’ll finally find the remedy.
I am attaching snapshot of problem for your kind perusal
Can you upload a video of the screen flickering here or else can you send it to below mentioned mail plzz??
