getting an One S soon and have been worrying about the burn in problem of SAMOLED..
I only use auto brightness, 4-5 hrs total screen on time per day, and I don't use the phone as a clock... but then both my previous SGS2 and skyrocket got some degrees of burn in.. its more on the skyrocket.. I did not experience that on the Gnex though..
so has anyone seen burn in on the One S?
Not sure if it's burn-in, but the bottom part of my screen has a slightly blue tint to it that's only visible when looking at a white screen. It seems to cover about the area that the three-dot button covers in some apps so it might be from that. It could also just be a defect.
It's not that big of a deal, but it does kind of annoy me even if it is really faint.
Is this similar to what you're seeing, aqw?

I don't have a G2X yet, but I wonder if an owner who has some LCD bleed might want to try this out and report any results.
Screen bleed is a pretty common problem across LCD's. I don't think it's so much of a manufacturing defect as it is due to shifting during transport etc. All that has to happen is a corner of the screen gets too far or too close to the back light behind it. The screens tend to shift around a bit in their casing.
A common fix on regular LCD monitors is to massage the area of the bleed with medium or firm pressure. This can move the screen enough to reduce bleed.
Not sure if this would work on a glass-surface device like the G2X but it's probably worth a shot. Also try massaging with pressure *behind* the phone, not just on the front glass.
Ipad 2 seems to be having some bleed issues as well, and some owners report that slight twisting of the entire device corner-to-corner can re-seat the screen in the proper position and reduce bleed. Be careful with this one, but again, might be worth a shot to apply some twisting pressure.
Not recommending that anyone does this who isn't comfortable and ok with the possible consequences! But... as I live in Canada and want a G2X, it would be a lot easier to know that this sort of thing might fix the bleed than it would be to attempt returning it to the USA or an ebay reseller.
Please keep the "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" replies to a minimum... if you don't want to do it then simply don't do it.

I just tried and I will say that the places that I had it originally did not get fixed or seem to be any dimmer than before which would have been nice... My bleeding is not that bad anyway...
However, the first time i twisted the phone a bit i noticed some more bleeding in the upper left of my phone (portrait directional) before i twisted it back to normal...
Good idea, but i would not recommend anything until we have some concrete evidence of it really working to fix ORIGINAL problems
lol this is not a fix and NEVER was a fix... you cant "massage" a LCD tv.... and a phone is no different gorilla glass or not it will NOT reset the screen.... good attempt at trying to find a solution but the bleeding isnt from the screen being out of place... its from poor manufacturing...
some bleeding is expected with LCD technology ... but not as bad as ive seen on some peoples ..... let alone on a 4" screen... but w/e if you have full brightness and are in a dark room then you must be blind.....
I wouldn't do it because you have to disassemble and it may void the warranty; in addition, you may break the LCD if you apply too much force.
If the bleeding/backlight leak is bad, just send it back and exchange.

Yes, you can. I fixed all bleed from my Acer 26" lcd by doing exactly this. I could see and feel the panel noticeably creaking back as I did it.

It made it a lot worse on mine. Good, though, as I plan to exchange it.

well i never herd of "massaging" a tv to fix it but i wouldnt do it to my 52" samsung cuz the manual states DO NOT PUSH FIRMLY ON SCREEN WHEN CLEANING so i dunno how it would work without taking it apart and "pushing the screen" back to the right spot...
let alone i got a 3 year warranty from best buy on it.. and if i crack it open AT ALL it voids so no thanks if anyone does this and it works on a phone i will be awed....
AND you shouldnt have to push the screen on ANYTHING to fix it... it should come correctly assembled in the first place....
just my .02 tho

what you did there. . .
I tried the massage but it doesn't work. I have very bad light bleeding from the top corners, and if I squeeze hard enough on top and bottom of the phone, it's a little better, but as I release my hands, everything goes back to normal, very bad looking darks colors. I'm exchanging it.
When my LCD screen started bleeding, I just put a bandaid on it

I have heard of this a lot. Massaging the LCD. I too am looking to fix a laptop screen. I heard before to massage the back of it, what side did you do? No one here who was successful mentioned if they did it to the front or back so I figured I'll do as you did? Thanks any help much appreciated!
My iPhone 5 is bleeding, pushed on it gently and it only made the black blotch spread. I don't recommend this
I was just wondering if everyone has the screen rippling issue when u press down on the screen. Also, based on people who have reported this issue, it appears to be a lot more common in white H1X's. Anyone care to share?
I noticed this in the store when initially checking out the phone before buying BUT it only seems to happen on the very edges of the screen and you need to press pretty damn hard to get it to do that. Hasn't actually affected real world usage for me since pressing the screen that hard is never necessary, especially on the outer edges.
Just tested mine out, no matter how hard or where I press I cannot get it to happen even a tiny bit. Apparently it only affects some devices.
You mean the same screen ripple that you see when you press on any LCD display?
I just tried on my phone while it displayed a white image and a black image, and I didn't see anything. But I can do it on my computer and TV. I thought that was typical of LCD displays.

it is, and especially on a phone this thin. I was told an explanation, but I can't remember for the life of me. But I never notice it from day to day use.

I assumed the ripple was because it's a Liquid Crystal Display.
Regardless, I've never seen it on mine. I have the dark grey one. Maybe some units have a thinner panel?
I actually know why this happens with HOX. Anal Torture & Tyranny told me to call HTC about replacing my phone. Talking with them explained my situation.
Phone where the lower right edge sits higher also causing a light leak, also causes the ripple is due to the battery cable inside the phone not sitting flush in the body. Also, there is a gasket that should be internal in the phone its basically electrical tape. Sometimes it rolls up causing the same problem.
Because of the battery cable not sitting flush it adds pressure behind the screen making the liquid crystal more prone to the ripple due to stress. Instead of flush in concave or convex depending on how you look at it.

i've seen this on all 4 devices i've had my hands on, and you don't have to press hard at all to get it.
Anyone else have any issues in regards to the screen?
I can look past the horrible refresh rate/ghosting, but this is really bugging me, amongst other things.
It seems the bottom half, mainly in the left corner, is quite a bit brighter than the top, making it seem more yellow, and the top a darkish pink hue.
The bottom corners also have very noticeable light bleed strip down the sides, which is noticeable on any screen/colour. It's like a small bright 3mm or so wide strip each side.
Half way up theres also a mark that separates where the brighter part of the screen starts/ends, so I'm wondering if someone dented the back of the panel when assembling it in the factory?
Either way I've requested a replacement, I'm just more curious to see if it's a common problem or not. Ghosting aside, the screen itself is quite stunning to look at, especially with a bit of ambient light in the room.

i didn't get your question, but if it is that i have any issues in regards to the screen? then no, i think it's stunning...
I also have the light bleed in the corners but it's only really noticeable on the bottom of the right bezel (in portrait). The light bleed looks like a strip on bright white light running up the right hand bezel before stopping about a third of the way up.
This is my second z3 and I'm contemplating whether to bother with another replacement or just return it altogether. Can't say I've been won over by the phone so far...I may just go for the note 4 instead...
So hey guys.
I bought myself a refurbished Nexus 5 off of AliExpress. I love everything about the phone except what seems to be something odd with the screen. Mostly works fine, but quite often grey and white vertical stripes appear down the screen (as you can see in the attached photos) They seem to appear when I swipe in the same place a lot and will disappear after a minute or two, or sometimes if I swipe the other way. Almost like a smudge or a smear but with what looks like the light from the screen. It's very noticeable on white and grey backgrounds.
I just wanted to know if this is a normal thing for this type of LCD screen or whether you think I should contact Ali regarding them sending a new one? I could probably live with it if it's a normal thing, but it's annoying and noticeable enough for me to have posted on here.
Thanks in advance for any answers I get.

You gave us very hard job to do. I don't want to put you in a bad mood, but I don't see that stripes on mine.

I don't think there's much you can do unless you open the phone and ensure the connections for the screen are firmly in place.
Water damage?

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a Oneplus one and am a bit disappointed with the display. Besides having the yellow part at the bottom, when I look a little at it at an angle I see the screen tint to whitish almost blue and this effect increases as my eyes level to the surface, this is best seen by looking from the right corner of the screen with a black background. Is this normal? I only need my head to be slightly away from the screen to notice it. Also I notice light bleed from the top.
Let me know if this is just an effect of the LCD display and if its normal. I've used amoled displays before this.
Regards,
Bobbie

I don't have this issue on mine. Honestly though, why is it such an issue? The scenario you're describing would just never happen in the normal use of the phone, nobody looks at their phone on such an angle when using it.

Hi Heisenberg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I do notice it during normal use otherwise it wouldn't be a problem. The phone is on the left side of my computer now and as i'm looking at it I notice the whitish blue tint while using a black background.

Fair enough. Dunno what to say though, I have two of these and neither of them have a tint when viewed on any angles. I initially thought my screen protector might be why but that can't be the case because one of them doesn't have a protector on it.

Mine does have a screen protector on it that was already on it when I received it, could it cause some kind of tinting? I only see it from an angle not if i just look down from the top to the bottom of the phone, then it looks perfect.

It's possible. Those films that come already on the phone aren't actually screen protectors as such, well they're not meant to be used for an extended period of time anyway, they're really just to give light protection during the shipping process. I'd recommend you remove that one and get yourself a good tempered glass protector. The Nillkin 9H is exceptional and it's quite cheap too (less than $10).
