Hi guys,
Last night after flashing a kernel my phone was stuck in boot loop..so I turned off the phone and connected to charge, morning I saw that whole night it was in loop.
Later fixed the loop issue, but now no matter which rom I am on the place where the icon dock is it flickers and has a shadow of Samsung logo I can relate this to the boot loop that caused burnt pixel.
If I keep brightness to the lowest it is not visible yet the moment wallpaper is a light colour and brightness is high it is visible, I want yo know your opinion is it a hardware issue or is it something that might go off with time ?
Regards
Arif

Yes. This hw issus.
when in startup time (bootlooping time) the lcd brigtness is max. So you have it whole night, it is very high possibility of lcd burn mark.
hope it can gone by time.

The screen is a little damaged, it probably heated up with the max brightness and the same picture, it will go away with usage by itself.
There are many apps that can solve this, they change every pixel to many colors very fast.
It will self correct itself
Hey thanx both for your response ..so far it seems that I got lucky and the flickering issue is gone after some hours of usage and rest
I have seen these issue on laptops and we have ended in replacing the lcd for the customers, flickering in laptop happens due to backlight issue, I was afraid that if backlight is gone I am axed as here also we have backlight as it's an lcd..so I think it was an issue of over heating that had left that mark and when it cooled down it become normal !

I know the mod is probably going to lock this thread, but I just wanna tell you that today I went a local AT&T store and took a good look at their Galaxy notes there...they all got obvious burn in on the screen.. they were all the same, the charging symbol. I guess they left them at full brightness for too long..I guess what I'm trying to say here is that no amoled is better than the other and we don't need to turn to Notes when their screens just have higher resolution but still suffer from the same problem.
Pretty cool story huh?

Yeah Samsung was saying that the pentile screen would last longer but in this case will still eventually have a burn-in problem.

It's called being careful with your phone....
Burn in usually occurs from leaving a still image on a screen for a very long time. So unless a user were to leave the screen on constantly, and leave the phone still for a long time repeatedly, there shouldn't be a worry for burn in. I've always used full brightness on every smartphone I've had and none of them have had any sign of it.

In case you forgot, the notification bar with the time, battery, and signal icon is almost always on the screen. Very few applications an games are full screen so those icons will burn in at some point as they are a "still image on a screen for a very long time".

Except MIUI. The statusbar inverts colors when you pull it down.
And yes, this belongs in the off topic thread.

It took me 8 months of use to get clear burn-ins to my Galaxy Nexus.
If I hold my nexus landscape, on the other end theres a bluis dark shade exactly the area where my status bar is on portrait.
On the other end there are the three soft navbar buttons, clearly visible and burnt in to my screen. The status bar is way worse though.
I almost always keep auto-brightness, guess I'll start having more from now on to avoid further damage...

Keep in mind that the display phones are on from open to close. Also that's even if they turn them off after closing. So I wouldn't be surprised if the screen has burned in.
Leave your TV on for 12 hours straight 7 days a week and I'm sure it will start to burn in.

hello GS3'ers my brother has some gs3 problems
his gs3's back light appears to have died out. he can still use the phone just can't see what is going on, the sounds still work and everything. has anyone come across this before? i told him to hold a flashlight to the screen so he's able to backup his pictures and what not but the screen is really black. which is his main concern right now, because he wants save his things and then return the phone if he has to.
any help is much appreciated, thanks!
My understanding of the GS3 is that since it is an AMOLED screen, it does not have a backlight. Each individual pixel emits light. My guess would be an app is causing the problem, possibly one that alters screen brightness. I would start by pulling the battery and restart the phone. If you see a boot animation, your screen's not dead.

that makes sense because the flashlight thing didn't work. he restarts his phone and even the boot logo is happening during a pitch black screen but the sound could be heard. it's gotta be something more serious

I just got a replacement Nexus 5 which is fine except for 1 stuck green pixel just about at the centre of the screen. It's a bit annoying. I don't know if they would send me a new phone over this or if it's worth the hassle.
There are a number of apps that claim to fix stuck pixels by cycling through colours. I've tried a few for a few minutes. People in the comments have said running it overnight fixed their stuck pixels.
Does this really work? What's the principle that would allow a stuck pixel to become unstuck?
If I want to try this should the screen be set to maximum brightness or not? I'm a little concerned that leaving the phone plugged in with the screen on at max brightness may cause damage to the phone or screen due to overheating. Is this something I should be worried about?
Thanks.

Usualy its hardware (screen itself) related so software cannot fix that.
No. In answer to your question
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So what's going on with people who claim it's worked for them?
In any case, I think I'll call Google and see if I can get another replacement. Maybe third time will be the charm...
Because it can work.
Think of each pixel as 3 switches.
One red. One blue. B one green.
In your case one pixel has the green switch stuck on.
These apps are designed to force the switches to keep turning on and off.
Sometimes you can get lucky and the switch will eventually free itself after so many tries.
Sometimes it will not work no matter what.
These apps just try to get it unstuck.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't

Hi there, i am using samsung galaxy s5 When the screen brightness is lowered to the lowest setting, the screen begins to flicker. Raising the brightness a few notches stops the flickering. I have not dropped the phone or exposed it to water – the issue started out of the blue and it’s driving me mad! This problem started last 3weeks when i flashed cm13 but i don't think that was the cause, i have tried screen overlay thing on devs options also tried gpu rendering things, turned off the adoptive display. All came out with nothing. Please help.

What is black screen of death??
Plz google it.
For those who are facing this issue.
I was also facing the black screen of death issue from past 3 months.
The only way to avoid it was through rebooting the device.
And by searching web others recomended to replace the flex cable.
Solution:- guys now i am not facing this issue by keeping the brightness greater than 5/10 (>5)percent.
I have tested this persnally for 10 days and i have not faced black screen of death till then.
But when i reduce the brightness to 0% i start experiencing the black screen of death.
I dont know properly what incresing brightness does.
Permant fix can also be done by increasing the minimum brightness value. (I dont know that hiw to do). May be devs can help here.
Those who are facing black screen of death keep your minimum brightness at or above 10% that will fix it.
Will try.
What ROM?

I got the same problem with my nexus 5 too. After lowering down brightness to below half somewhere, the phone screen shuts off but the phone is still on and if i blindly drop down the status bar and increase the brightness by assuming the slider there, the screen again turns on
One thing to note that my screen does not have any dead pixels or display problem at all because I tested it. Also when the screen turns off the task that was carried out on the phone still stays i mean that when i play game at night and lower the brightness, then the screen turns off but i can hear the sound of the game running.
I have tried many roms but the problem still remains.

Try changing the rom which has this issue fixed at around 10℅ brightness.
Bcoz above 50 ℅ is. Huge for battery drain.
I am currently on santosh m 7.1.1 15/12/16 build and i am not experiencing black screen at 10℅ brightness.
Since you play at night ( night modde will also help ).

I have tried Santosh ROM it's still there, but the thing is that this problem I am having was even on the latest stock ROM (till android 6.0.1 Dec).
I don't know why it happens.
