I use the screensaver deal when charging. Havent seen anything on my phone yet. Maybe that will clear your pixels if you try. I treat these screens like i do my plasma tv. Had burn in from keyboard on my S3 and thankfully, nothing to report like that yet with the S5.

I just got a G2X yesterday and it has backlight arterial flow. It's not obvious looking head on but it doesn't take much of an angle to see light peeking around the edges. I've heard this is a "known issue" but would anyone else return their phone for a replacement? How likely is it that I'll have the same problem with the next one? I've had the vibrant since release and I've gotten used to the contrast and color of the amoled screen but I don't think I'm just being spoiled. For $500 I feel light bleed should not be an issue. Black uniformity? Ehhhh not quite as much but still... Anyone care to comment?

It is very likely you would get another phone with same issue.
LG uses a screen texhnology that has that bleed.

Youre new around these parts aren't ya? Lol
Its a very well know issue. Look around this forum and you'll find countless references to it. It comes down to what is acceptable for you? Some people have returned and exchanged multiple times to correct it. For me, its barely noticeable and only on a black screen in a dark room so it doesn't bother me.
Look around the forum and then judge for yourself if you can live with the problem.
I'll probably try a return and if it happens again, I'll just deal and think about an upgrade later on. Like I said I'm used to the samsung screens so this problem is all new to me. Overall the build of the phone feels sturdier than the vibrant. I also like that web browsing is much smoother.
I can deal with that. I don't want reboots and a over heating phone. The screen problems are minimal on my phone.

Have you done a complete hard reset/restore of the phone? Factory data reset?
It significantly cooled down my phone after doing it. Never had a reboot on the phone afterwards, but prior to that I only had one reboot, so I don't think I had a problem
I had installed a bunch of task killer/ battery saver apps on the phone, and the combo screwed things up software wise.....have not touched any task killers since.
I try that when I get a my new memory card.
Thanks.

If mininmal light bleed is your only problem just keep it. Most likely the replacement will also have it. Even with light bleed the screen looked better than the sensations...

if I apply light pressure on back of tablet about two inches above asus logo it looks like something is pushing against the screen you get all those rings and what looks like a rainbow effect.
I noticed it when docked and moving the screen back and forth the same effect occurs.. is this just cos the unit is thin and flexes, does anyone else see this behaviour?

I tried what you did and I don't see anything, how big/noticeable is this 'rainbow effect' you're talking about on your tablet? Something doesn't seem right.
Going further if I simply press on the touch screen in that area I get the same effect somethings definitely wrong, when screen is on I get big yellow splodges from the backlight. The screen must be moving in the chassis I guess

I think you're describing the general effect of applying pressure to an LCD screen. They all do it to some extent. Unless the effect is permanent, it's nothing to worry about.

I disagree, I tried and failed to replicate what he did. Also, my tablet has the bleeding issue too, so I don't think those are directly related. (I have light spots and edge bleeding, but don't have the rainbow effect.)
Its so annoying cos its ones of the newer serial numbers and there is hardly any bleed or anything, but in normal use touching the screen in one place seems to compress something and I get rainbow and big blobs of yellowy light about 1 inch above where I touch/press or if I move screen back or forward in dock or press against back of tablet.. Lets see what asus cs say.. Might have to go for refund and defect to samsung but I don't want to

iPad2 has some of the same issues, light bleed, etc and some new ones, cracking screens. It is tough to make a screen that is high res, light weight, thin, and can stand up to people poking at it all day long.
Ok Xoomers does anybody have grey horizontal bleeding on your display?
When the screen is pretty dark the black seems to "bleed grey" horizontally.
I don't know how else to describe it.
I can see it noticeably durring the boot animation, but there are other times it's worse.
It's been there for a while now but I thought it was software related until I noticed it didn't go away no matter what I flashed.
I just filled out the Motorola warranty form and I'll be sending it back. I just wanted to see if anybody else had the same issue.

I don't and have never had this problem. Did you say it just started or has it been like that since the begining?
I first noticed it after I flashed the first tiamat kernel. I thought it might be related for a long time but it seemed like a small price to pay for the added features... and it wasn't really that bad then. Its gotten a bit worse over time.

Do you think it could be related to overclocking the gpu?
Possibly. I don't use any apps to overclock it (like set CPU) but it might be being pushed harder anyway. I haven't set myself back to complete stock yet but I guess I will have to before I send it in. I'll see if it still shows up then.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I did still notice it when I went to the 3.2 rooted update. And that was the stock kernal I think.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
If the gpu got fried, I would think that the damage might be lasting...that's a big "if" of course.
Well, good luck with the return?repair? and keep us posted. I'd like to know what that is.

Hey mr_wrong i have the exact same issue...how did your return go?
Lol, mine does that, too. I just thought the display sucked. I am 100% stock. I just got this thing in an acceptable state and dread the prospect of getting something worse as a replacement. If this is not normal, I'll try to get it fixed.

I have an invisible shield (Zagg) and that case that Best Buy sells. I noticed the banding issue too. Turns out it was the impression that the case makes on the shield. Confirmed when I removed the shield.
Sounds like you guys issues may be deeper, though

So I recorded a 3.5 hour video last night so I could abuse dropbox and get 5.25gb of storage. This caused those camera buttons to burn into the screen. Anyone have an easy fix for this?
Doubtful. Burn in can happen on OLED screens. Newer screen designs have mitigated it somewhat, but it's just the nature of the beast in this case. I've never personally seen it, but I've seen pictures of it happening on the Charge. It happens due to the breakdown of the organic compounds used in the screen construction.

I've heard if you get a blank white picture where your entire screen is white and leave it that way it will fix it but then it may make your whole screen white. I'm not sure

Hey everyone, today I noticed a small white spot on my screen as I was using Google now. It doesn't just appear on light backgrounds, its always there, but more noticeable on light wallpapers.
I need to know if I would be covered by warranty and if they would replace it with this issue, or if there is a fix, that would be great. A picture is attached.
Thanks to anyone that can help and if you have questions just ask me.

Would they replace it? I have ocd and this is making my very agitated when I use my tablet.
My brother says they won't even see it and then they'll laugh at me.

No, a lack of a filled in warranty card shouldn't affect anything. Take it to Argos or send it to Samsung for repair. They will not charge you providing you didn't cause it. I've heard good things about Samsung's support.

I haven't taken it back yet as my parents don't think it's a big issue. I'm being persistent though, maybe by the time the new generation is out they'll realise how irritating it is to someone with OCD.

If it was mine I'd struggle too.
Not too sure if Samsung would fix it for you, it does seem minor. I would be affected too. I'm quite sure that whenever you turn the screen on, your eyes automatically goes to that spot.
Have you tried cleaning the screen? The spot could be there because it was rubbed too much. You can try zippo lighter fluid to clean it the whole screen. Avoid the non-glass areas though. Take it to Samsung if it doesn't work.
If Samsung refuses to fix it... I would try a screen protector.

You can move the "dot" around on the screen (different locations). On my watch it comes and goes. I think it may have something to do with the fitness app. It is certainly no defect on the screen.
