Do You guys suffer from it? I just noticed it like two days ago, that there's some obvious burning in signs after not so lenghty use... Luckily those go away after some time with screen off, but... Should slcd do that??

Perhaps it's on the inside of your retina's?
Har har har...
No, but seriously... When I was chating on skype for a good hour, skype logo from top left corner got burned in for quite a while, also top bar icons have left a slight shade.
Not too fussied about it, but it is somehow worrying and I hope it won't cause any long term problems.

I've not noticed it myself (well not yet anyway!) ......although I always choose the black themes for everything in a pathetic attempt to minimize battery use....(are there any theme options within skype?). It should ideally timeout the screen like the phone dialer does using the proximity sensor....
Perhaps as a workaround trying turning your brightness down to minimum possible before any future skype sessions....
Hmm... Isn't it that blacks are saving batt only on amoleds?
Anyway... For now it isn't permanent, so I'm cool...

yeah you are right having a black background doesn't save any battery,but it does save a lot of battery on AMOLED
but does anyone know if changing the brightness change the battery consumption significantly?i remember reading somewhere that it only has a very small effect
if you see any signs of burn in again(which should be very rare) turn off the screen for a day or two it should go off completely except in extreme cases
I have this problem as well, the time, battery etc in the status bar could be burnt in for up to 4 minutes. Its a falt with SLCD.

well... so far it is not permanent, so I'm not bothered much, but yeah... the problem is real.
Does everyone get the screen burn. Its really bugging me lately. I've had quick look through the forums but can't find much on it. Is there anyway to fix or reduce it with maybe screen frequency tweaks or something.

I have two devices and both have screen burn.. in fact all desire s i have seen burn the status bar.. if screen is on for more than 5 minutes. don't worry about it
Yupp, also having it. Less obvious since I've switched to 25% brightness, but it is temporary, so I'm not bothered much.
happens here also. Try to apply a white image for some time, it helps LCD screens

Ehm... If you need to perform these steps to see this screen burn... Then how much of a problem is it? The subject of this topic suggests that this is a huge problem while in fact it is hardly noticable.
In normal day to day use you will probably never have any problem. I have never noticed the problem with my Desire S
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't get screen burn on an LCD screen (which is what the Desire S has), only plasma screens get screen burn.
Yeah smart guy. Turn on brightness 100% then run i.e. skype and leave it in main menu for some time, then return to home screen and tell me what You see.
Good thing is, that it is only temporary and screen returns to normal fairly quick.

If it doesn't last, it ain't screen burn. It's image retention.
Well... Then Desire S suffers from image retention. Anyone cares?

So...
In this thread it seems a known problem, yet some people don't notice it that much with normal use. I also have this problem, and I play chess a lot where I keep the screen on for quite a while before switching away. I keep seeing the board on the homescreen.
I know it's not permanent, it disappears, and yet, it's quite annoying for me. I have a few questions:
- Does this screenburn/image retention get worse over time?
- Is this an issue which only affects one batch of phones?
- Can this issue be resolved by replacing the screen? ...
- ...and would that be covered by the warranty.

well, i'm sure screenburn/image retention is not covered by warranty, because sooner or later it will happen to the most phones, and i think htc knows that.
And i think it does not get worser over time. i just experienced that image retention was completely gone when i flashed a new rom, with different interface. And when i returned back to my old rom today, i quickly had image retention again. i do absolute not know if this relates to each other but i definetly recognized a difference.
i'm sorry if i did write unclearly, i try my very best
I've just flashed back to sense after being on miui and the screen 'retention' is worse than ever. Don't know if its just cos there is more black on white or some thing to do with sense itself.

just my oppinion but i believe that what we are all experiencing is neither screen burn nor image retention. i actually believe that it is software related. why? well, if u do a thorough test you will notice that if the "burnt" image of the statusbar is observed on solid gray backgrund, the clock changes. i mean, without going to homescreen or whatever, if grey image is displayed and the burnt statusbar is visible, the minutes change as they pass. at the top of my head i actually believe that it's a transparency glitch. or maybe that's only true in my case..

Had my Desire S for 9 months before I sold it for an XE, and I had the same problem with the phone. What I found out was the splash screen of XDAforums is the best to see if you have screen burn or not. My phone's issue was worst on top of the screen, where the notification var is, whenever I ran xda forum I could see clock,antena and WiFi visible on the starting picture of it.
I also noticed that this issue gets worse by time, and the day I sold my Desire S it was in the worst situation ever. I could even burn the keyboard on my screen after like 5 minutes of chatting on Gtalk.
What I think is, Desire S LCD panel has this defect and this could happen to anyone sooner or later; however, for those who use their phones more intensively it appears sooner.
I suggest getting your phones to a service care center and ask for a LCD replacement, because it'll get worse soon.

I get the screen burn quite often when playing Wordfeud...I just keep a white image to leave on for a while.
Entire Screen is color dotted I cant see anything rebooting the phone wont work taking out the battery wont work. Ive taken best care of this phone and had a case mate, never even dropped it on top of having a case mate, what seems to be the problem? Its very aggravating going to bed with a phone working waking up finding out that your phone wont ever display anything again, I had this problem 1 night before this happened the night before it happened for about 10 mintues so I ignored it got home from school took a nap, and its permanent. any ideas? thank you
Maybe it is dead or stuck pixels
I had an issue which was similar to yours a couple of months ago. Actually my phone fell and some black spots appeared on the screen. First I thought am screwed badly cause they kept on spreading all over the screen. But after I searched internet, I found some information on this topic. There are some softwares on play store which help to find and remove stuck pixels. But, in my case they weren't useful. So I searched more and found a thread on xda where a member with the same phone had the same issue. He kept his phone in the fridge everyday for a few hours and eventually the dead pixels came to life. I followed the same thing and my phone came to life in a matter of days. Thanks to him, now my phone is perfectly fine. If you have stuck pixels, then you can try those play store softwares. Just search dead pixel on play store and check what you need. Stuck pixels are colored dots on the screen and dead pixels are black dots on the screen.

My Atrix2 flew from my hand and fell flat on its face onto the tiled floor, from about 8 feet height. The phone appeared to be fine, but I felt roughly about 2% its pixels became dead. The phone was fine otherwise but the dead pixels were plain irritating. Didn't have time to visit Moto service. Guess what, on their own the pixels are becoming alive, which was predominant today evening. I think, about 1000 of those pixels are still dead. Those of you who are knowledgeable on LCDs please explain this self curing mechanism. Am I lucky? For info, phone runs on stock ICS and screen is ON for about 2 hours a day.
Me too, but I think the cold weather was the reason, lol.

Thanks for sharing. But, I live in Bangalore, India, where it is hot nowadays. There has to be another reason.
The past two weeks I was reading a lot of pdf docs on the mobile. Is it that the prolonged voltages to the pixels brought them back ? Happy anyway.
maybe if anyone has this problem shall try to completely seal the phone and put it in the freezer,,,, then tell us the results.

That's a good one! Removed the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 4 hours. Then dried it under a fan for 5 hours. Switched on in the morning. Voila, hardly about 200 pixels at still dead. Will try to bring all back to life in the evening. Thanks a lot.

Hey, sorry I just saw this.
Are these Pixels dead, or simply stuck. A dead pixel is black, and never on, a stuck pixel is locked to one color. Stuck pixels are common, and actually a certain number per screen are allowed to slip through in manufacturing, but if you have a bright one, it is really annoying. (trust me, I know, mine has a bright green one in the lower right since I got it.)
Stuck pixels can sometimes be cured just by time, and more commonly by flashing multiple colors rapidly in the problem area. There are many apps for this in the play store. They don't always heal, but it is quite common, unless you are me, then they never do.
Dead pixels probably do not heal under normal circumstances, however yours were caused by the shock of being dropped, which could have just disrupted some of the stuff in the screen, and potentially they could self heal.

Thanks for the info. I had lot of black pixels (in clusters) scattered all over the screen. The flashing screen apps could not make any impact. That idea of keeping the phone in freezer really worked. After three brief visits into the freezer, only about 90 black pixels on 6mm, 2mm & 1mm long lines remain. Week end may see the end of these too. I owe this to XDA.
BTW, only today measured the screen size, to know the count. It is a rectangle of 96mm x 54mm; 10 pixels per mm.
And the good thing it heals for ever - I hope so - it's been about 6 months since the screen heal it self, and since I watching it when the device over heat from 4G usage, and still okay, lol

Wanted to report that ALL those dead pixels are alive now, after the phone spent about 10 hours inside the freezer yesterday night.
So, folks, those of you with dead pixels on the LCD screens can try the freezer method proposed by abd-hhh, before visiting the service center, if you don't have time or are out of warranty. I hope the dead pixels don't appear again. Here's hoping for the best :good:

Hi. I've tried your way to restore those dead pixel. In first time try, those dead pixel seem cured a little bit, but then it becoming back as before where those dead pixel reappear again. So, i tried one more time, but only 4 hours in fridge (not in cold storage), the dead pixel come to alive, but then still turn to dead... I just wonder, what temp of your fridge when you put your atrix 2? Did you wrap it closely tight? I want to try above then 4 hours, but i just afraid my phone will really 'dead' totally. Can you give your steps how you doing it?

Wrap with some paper then remove the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 9 hours. Dry it with some tissue then switch on the phone. All dead pixel is gone (before is 4 hour in freezer about some dead pixel left after that the dead pixel spread back)
This is awesome, I'd really like to try this on my phone as it sounds like exactly what is happening.
A relatively minor drop, with no physical damage noticeable, has caused some pixels to go black/colors. However, I noticed that move sometimes! Like, one morning I woke up and found the pixels that used to cover a certain notification on my home screen had shifted over so I could see the notification!
I tried applying pressure and noticed that I could sort of make the dead area get bigger, then let go and the edges would sort of return to the earlier size. It almost seems like the LCD has too much pressure being applied and that's what is preventing those pixels from working. That's why I think the freezer trick works- the temperature changes cause the metal and silicon to expand and contract, hopefully returning the screen to its original position from the factory!
Here's my problem though- I don't have a Motorola Atrix. I found this thread doing a search. I have an HTC One X (sprint version, EVO LTE), which means the battery is built in. Should I be concerned that putting the phone w/battery into the freezer is a bad idea? I'm guessing due to condensation?
Perhaps it is worth dismantling the phone to remove the battery? What do you guys think? I tried to find reference of people doing this with other non-removable battery phones (cough* iphone *cough) but couldn't find much on that topic.

It's should work on any device with lcd screen.. But with battery inside...., I can't gift any word on that...
Btw.., If u wrapped any puff-up battery and put into freezer it will back to normal shape and still can be use normally...
Hi,
My Nexus 5 was working fine, and hasn't been dropped/damaged, but the screen has suddenly gone green and very faint. It still works but I can't figure out what the issue is. My guess is hardware?
When I say green and faint, I don't mean just a little bit, I mean a green/yellow hue all over the screen, and faint like someone has applied super high contrast in a photo editor.
Any ideas?
Phone is stock, not rooted or modified in any way.
Thanks

I have the same issue as of a week ago. Except mine is pink borders and a blue tint. It was fine one night, plugged it in to charge at bed time, took it off the next morning and it was stuffed!! After a day it came right but then stuffed up again a few days after that.
I'm guessing its the display but don't know why. Looks like you can get Chinese replacement ones for about 60AU$, but the procedure looks pretty full on.
Just to update, as per poster above the phone has now returned to normal after a few days. Very strange. Factory reset, cache clear etc etc didn't work, just one day started working again.
Have the same problem
I am also having the same problem. I was charging the phone on my laptop. I took it out and suddenly the screen had a bluish - pink tinge - prominent around the corners but affecting the entire screen.
Did you find any solution?
Yep as above it just righted itself within a few days. Very strange, never seen a phone have an apparent hardware issue that's unresolved by factory reset etc then just miraculously lose the problem...but that's what happened!
It definitely has to do with the display.
i changed my original display screen as it was broken with a cheap one and since then it always gets green and pink tint while charging. After sometime it turns to the normal color.
Same problem pink/blue tint over night
I bought a used nexus5 just 2 days back but it looks stunningly scratchless so its probably refurbished I guess. Any how, I put it on charge the next night of purchase with a heavy duty charger that came with my Tablet its rating is 2Amp. In morning the phone had this blue/pink tint.
Is it a problem or will it go back as most people are saying? As long as I keep on using proper charger will it come back?
OR
Should I go back and strangle the seller...?
