On my charge is see lines mainly vertical but some horizontal that show up on some colors. For example in the dropdown bar, the gray startup screen for pulse and a plain white screen. People over at droid forums said that there may be something wrong with the screen. Just wondering does anybody else have this issue and also is this issue important enough to switch out the phone for?

thats not a burn in loool.
its just how the screen is . all amoled screens are like that. but in some screens they are not very noticable while others . you can see them more clearly on gray wallpaper on lowest brightness.
you will NEVER get away with them. just try to find one that isnt very obvious.

It's possible for the AMOLED to suffer from burn-in, when I had the stock notification bar on my nexus one, the time got burned into my screen. Pretty noticeable when using the browser in landscape on a white page
heres what i did to check "burn in " installed this app screen filter from market.
my brightness settings under phone settings set to 0% , switched off auto.
under screen filter i set my brightness to 19 %.
then, from the dialer *#0*# and did lcd test and found signs of burn in . before tht i did not see anything at all.
now if u follow the above guide you will definitely see signs of wear.
Just install the app called dead pixel detect, you will see the burn in if you have any.
When I start the android XDA developers application, I see the symbols of the notification bar on the brown (I am color blind so not sure if it is brown or green) start screen in the area where the notification bar is. I am not sure if the OLEDS are just slower in that area or if they are already burned in.
When you start the app, at the xda splach screen is the bronze / red colour the same across the whole screen or is it like a gradient getting lighter towards the top left?
Just wondering if my screen is duff but maybe I'll be better downloading a screen test app.

No, nothing wrong with your screen for that reason. Just loaded xda and it does change shades from top to bottom.
If you think there's issue with the screen, google search for a photographic color calibration image, that should give you a good image to check with.
Thanks. I thought that was the case as I haven't seen this problem in any other apps or when using the phone normally. Still a relief to hear though!
no clue, i have set mine to DARK theme to safe power.
but when i look at a BLANK WHITE page, the 2 bottom corners just above the 4 soft buttons have a weird purplish gradient, which did not exist in Galaxy S
but that is due the Concave screen design
Mines on dark also but I'm talking about the splash screen that shows on starting the app - whether light or dark theme selected.
No such purple tint here.
The xda splash screen gradient looks a little banded because of the pentile sub pixel layout of the amoled screen. Nothing really wrong with your screen, that's just the way it is with these screens. It's a trade off.
Don't think I'm seeing banding, it's just the fact the xda splash screen tends to lighten as it gets to the top left of the screen.
From what others have said this seems normal though so. I'm not concerned.
Ah got it, I mis read. Yeah I think that's normal.
This is slightly off topic but relevant to the xda app. When I first view a new thread using the app, it always jumps either to the last page or a random page. Or if the thread is only one page long, it starts halfway down the thread. Again this is for new threads I've never viewed before. Anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Yep seeing this too and never quite worked out the pattern / reason.
Don't worry about hijacking the thread, my question was answered long ago

on the Nexus S
i have a very nice and smooth dark brown to light brown gradient going from bottom right to top left
on the Galaxy S
the same gradient looks like chopped, chunky, banded, it's like looking at a picture in 16bit color (SGS) vs 32bit color (SNS)

That's interesting. I thought these used the same screen technology - samoled?

That's originally what I meant with my post cause I see the banding on my screen too. It should be identical since these screens are literally identical I believe.
that's what i would like to know as well.. i was left when i did the comparison
There's a transparent circle on my screen and you can see it wherever you are on the phone but I can't send or I guess post a photo cause I believe its s hardware issue, nfc chip maybe? I think it's in a circle. Is anyone else having this problem? What should I do about it?

Where is it located?
Someone said that it is caused by the vacuum cup that is used to handle the display glass (during the manufacturing process)

Are you sure it's not a 3red party app called circle launcher?

That may be closer to an answer.
Op, can you take a photo of your screen or make a video of it?

I've always had this weird circle problem on my screen but didn't think much of it. It's mostly only noticeable with a solid color, like dark gray. Since I've been running ICS, there's a lot more gray in use, especially on the Contact screen and it's getting to be a little annoying.
Here is a picture of my phone and the image I created for the test. View this image on your phone and see if the circle shows up.
Maybe a relative is trying to contact you from beyond?
I like californiarailroader answer, but It is probably due to a suction cup like was stated before. Co-worker puts one on my protected screen at work and it leaves a similar mark. I would just buff it off

well no need to see it on my phone cause this is exactly what it looks like but mines lower and on the left. but wow. is it a normal thing for ns4g????? how do i fix it?
In some apps that have black gradient i can see a few spots and even quite a long line of dimmer pixels at certian black levels. Has anyone else seen this? is it a defective screen? Should I go compare it to an in store model and see if the same spots show up?

I have the same thing. From what I've read/heard it's the Pentile screen at work.. I'm still going into. The store later today to verify.... Once you see it you won't be able to shake it out of your head.
I first saw it late at night with all my lights off and I was close to the screen...now I see it all the time.

Hey everyone, I bought my HTC One S used, and at a discounted price because of screen burn-in. The burn-in isn't noticeable at higher brightness settings, but when there is a dark background applied, or when the backlight is dim, you can clearly see burned in areas.
Has anyone had any success using any burn-in removal techniques with apps like Display Tester?

Just realized this should've been in the Q&A section.. woops!

What exactly is screen burn-in? Is it the same as the screen has different color depending on what angle you are looking at it? My experience is when i look directly on my screen, it show some yellowish in white background, but when i tilt it forward or backward, the white becomes white with no yellowish color. And when i turn it sideways it become pinkish.. do you think my screen is busted? Or is it what you call the screen burn-in?

Yeah, exactly how you described it. Looks yellowish/orange depending on the background

^-That's a good example of what a screen burn (or is it image retention?) looks like. Found this image on Google just for the purpose of an example, it's clearly not from an HTC One S haha
My friend who uses the HTC Sense clock has developed minor screen burn from having the clock widget in the same place since day one of his phone

TC is probably referring to ghosting. Kinda like
http://www.pixeltuneup.com/images/screenburn.jpg
or to a lessor extend but more common
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/5523/2005fpwsw2.jpg
Notice the faint icons? As to fixing it, I don't believe there is a way other than replacing the screen. It happens when an image is displayed without movement. It sort of "burns" into the screen, and when viewing something else, its slightly visible, thus "ghosting"
As for the yellow tint you see in the whole screen, I believe some displays are just like that.

Thank you for the explanation.. but i don't have that ghosting nor the faint icons.. i only experience the different colors when viewing in different angles, i just hate it, nothing else, but why is that?

tbh i wonder what would happen if you attempted to burn in the color inverted (dont do it, lol)
But most likely a new screen, which isn't too expensive.
If you had a big enough discount, it'd be no problem.
