[Q] Samsung G-Note Horizontal Lines Only On Lock Screen With Black & White Wallpaper
Hi,
I am getting horizontal Lines on the lock screen [only] with white and black wallpapers.....
I have tried other wallpapers and the problem doesnt seem to persist with them .... neither does it occur with live wallpapers.
Those same wallpapers look fine in the gallery and even when i set it as the home screen wallpaper, there are no other pertaining issue other then that on my phone.
Is this a software or hardware issue....
And is there any way around this problem to solve it ... or do i have to taken my phone to the service center.
if its under warranty I'd just take it back and get a new one
Hey, thanks for the reply...
the problem is i dont get that issue with any other wallpaper just the extreme black and white ones .......
and i dont face any other problems any where else in the phone, its just the lock screen....
moreover the lock screen seems to re-scale the image before applying it as a lock screen wallpaper...
thats why i was wondering if its a software bug or something which can be resolved with an ics update... or through some other mean ....
i have never dropped my phone, or sat on it or anything i have been extremely careful with it ....neither have i rooted my phone....
i have seen some other forums on the net regarding the same... apparently there are quite a few people with similar issue.... but no one seems to have a definite answer as to why its happening.....
If it was me, I would just return it and get a new one. You should be able to get one no questions asked if its still under warranty, plus who wouldn't want to get a new note if they could? If it happens on your next note then I'd look further into it, your call though.

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:

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.

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

I've had the Transformer for about a month now and this is the first hiccup.
On the main homescreen there's a vertical bar on the far right with the five icons/shortcuts anchored there. The background under those icons is scrambled- the rest of the homescreen is fine, as are all of the other homesscreens. Rebooting doesn't help, changing the wallpaper doesn't either. I'm using Wallpaper Wizardrii, have been since I got the device, so I don't think that caused the problem either.
Any idea what I could do to fix it? Thanks!
I have never seen this issue. I would uninstall the 3rd party wall paper and see if it helps. Don't forget to power cycle the unit.
Ok- I'll try that now. Thanks.
No luck. Before I unlock the screen the [stock] background image completely fills the screen and there's no scramble. When I unlock the screen the image squeezes over to the left a little to make room for the vertical taskbar and the scramble appears (under the 5 icons). So something weird is happening when the image resizes.
I just remembered that even when I was using one of my photos as wallpaper it was not scrambled until the screen was unlocked. In Android's version of screensaver mode the pictures fill the screen and there's no scramble.
Using Multipicture Live now but problem still there. It's not a big deal (still love this tablet!) but I would like to know what's going on and how to fix it.
Anybody else experience this partial-scramble? I got a random reboot yesterday- first time. All I'd done since I started this thread is uninstall the wallpaper wizardrii program, reboot/power cycle a few times, and then download and install the new wallpaper (multipicture live) program.
Still hoping for help with this
Hi guys, I am having a bit of an issue with my Samsung Infuse. I recently purchase this refurbished phone and it is unlocked from AT&T. Every thing seems to work fine except for the fact that there is constantly a second display underneath the actual display. What I mean by this is that the default locked AT&T screen is always showing, but it is transparent so it overlaps with whatever else is supposed to be displayed on my screen. I assume it is the locked at&t screen because on the bottom it says "phone locked" has a clock and on the top it has an at&t logo.
I tried hard-resetting the phone to factory setting too. I also tried to disabled the lock screen, but it was separate from the transparent at&t lock screen.
Any ideas?
bump.
So I tried a few things. Namely, I tried to install a custom rom to "overwrite" whatever interface the phone previously had. I installed cm9 but I am still having this problem. Any ideas?

idk..is it a transparent background wallpaper?
is there a loose video connection to the screen?
screen shot or video may help show what you mean
It could also be screen burn-in, but, I've never heard of the "phone lock". Mines has the loading symbol and status bar burned into my screen
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I will try to get a high quality photo if I can. Unfortunately, my phone is my main camera.
And I looked up what screen burn-in is. It actually looks pretty similar.

Thanks. I will try to see if there are any solution to screen burn in
I've searched but can't find my problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help.
The phone was my daughters and had a cracked screen, the phone still functioned and had no other faults.
I've fitted a complete shell including screen and everything was fine for a couple of days then the problem started. When I have a brightly coloured background the titles under the screen icons distorts, the brighter colour the more the screen distorts and shimmers. If I change to a dark coloured or B&W background everything stabilises again. It might be a coincidence but about the same time as the fault started the phone did and update to 5.0.2 from 4.x.x. The rest of the phone works ok unless a bright colourful image is on screen. I've tried all the obvious suggested tests, reducing brightness etc but nothing makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated.
I've tried to attach a photo but it crashes safari on my iPad.
When looking at the HTC wallpapers the problem is worse if I scroll down the choices it is worse on the centre and right images which I think are rain and grass, 2nd row from last/bottom, the dandelion is ok though. Would this be the screen itself, software or hardware?
I really like this phone but will probably have to go back to using my old iPhone if this is android.
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
