[Q] Lock screen black pixels - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys one question or more like interesting observation;
If i love something on my GS6 is amazing screen, specialty true black color which gets truly black by shutting down pixels. so this happens every time, but not on lock screen. When I set black lock screen the black color is not truly black anymore and the back lid light is seen. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
(its kind of disturbing to have black lock screen and home screen and when unlocking phone u get so clearly different color) - you can even try it out yourself and give it some feedback what u think of this
here is link to the black wallpaper; BLACK WALLPAPER
So if any of you know how to fix that or this is something that cannot be done and i just have to say bye to true black color on lock screen?
Thanks and wish to you all the best!

Most seem to have this. Ive had 2 and they both make the same noise

I have the exact same issue and more...
Please try the camera in a dark room and see if you have a white shadow almost like the one in the black lock screen?
I try to exchange the device but they say, and it´s true, that if it was a screen problem we would notice everytime.
If you look at the black image in the gallery you don´t get that white shadow!

That's because the lock screen has an effect. When you open the lock screen, it is set to lighten the wallpaper and zoom into it. It's because of the effect the lock screen doesn't appear truly black. I know it sucks, but I couldn't find any options to turn off the effect. I've simply resorted to using one of those active display notification apps from the play store that mimic the active notifications of the moto X. Screen stays pure black.

Problem with my Display or the phone software?

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my HTC Touch Pro phone.
I'll explain my problem:
When you turn on your phone and you are on the "Home page" (the page where the time is displayed) there is a bar at the bottom of the display.
This bar says Phone and Programs.
When i access my volume control by using the 2 buttons on the left side of the phone a black screen appears with some bars on it to indicate the volume. Note that the black bar with the Phone and Programs buttons is gone!
But the problem is that i can slightly see the Phone and Programs text trough the black screen of the volume control...
The first time i turned on my phone it was clearly visible, but after hard-resetting my phone 3 times it seems to be all gone now.
What could have caused this problem? Are these texts burned into my screen or is my screen sensetive to white letters?
I really dont know what to think about it because it seems very strange to me that it is now gone after 3 hard-resets...
Does anyone know what may have caused this problem?
edit
When i still had the problem i checked out if the text that was visible on the volume screen was the actual text that should stand in the black bar on the bottom, but when i accessed the volume control from the Programs tab (notice that the menu bar then displays "All programs" and "Remove"), but the volume controll still displayed Phone and Programs, so it isn't the actual text that is visible, so it cant be something like a shine-trough or something like that.
Really dont know what to think, at this time 3x hard-resetting the phone helped and the texts aren't visible anymore, but i'm still worried that my screen is over-sensitive or maybe broken or something =\
edit
The text is getting visible again after having my phone on "stand by" for 10 minutes.
Does anyone has a solution or does anyone knows what the problem can be? i would like a awnser today because i could go the the store tomorrow, i may be able to switch it for a new one if the screen is really broken.
Hope someone knows more!
edit
Maybe some of you dont see it on your one Touch pro, but you will if you REALLY look close at the bottom left and right corner in your volume control screen.
Could it have something to do with lazy pixels or something?
edit
It seems to get worse when i have the phone and programs texts on my screen for 10 minutes, and then switch to volume management. Are my pixels lazy or something?
The longer the screen stays on with the Phone and Programs texts on and the icons of the menu etc, the more you see when you turn on volume control.
it just looks like it burns into my screen.
Take care! Maybe it burned into your eyes!
No, serious it cannot burn into your screen.
Only CRT screens can burn it, not TFT.
Hmm ok thats true haha,
But what else can cause such a problem... it is only visible if the phone is off stand by for a few minutes.
I had my phone on stand by the rest of this evening and just turned it on and now it is all gone again. But if i put my phone on the home screen for a few minutes, so with the texts, then its visible again on the volume controll screen
Had the phone on standby the whole night and now the texts are gone again.
They seem to get "burned" in somehow if the phone is off standby for a few minutes, but then when its on standby for a while they are gone again.
Just wanna know if more people have the same problem, or else i could send back my phone to HTC for a repair

Well that seems to be the problem over here...
But when i turned on the phone for the first time there was much more "image burning" on the screen, and at this moment it is all gone ...
Could it be that the screen had to "warm up" or something because the phone is just 2 days old. The longer i used the phone the less the image burning is now.
Do these screens have to warm up or something when you turn on the phone the first time?
They shouldn't... Especially if you bought it locally, I'd take the safe road and return it. I'm not sure if it's exactly what that source describes, but I don't like taking chances with phones as expensive as this.
Hmm ok, thats wierd because the more i used it the less burned in texts are visible.
at this point there is nothing visible on my screen anymore ..
isnt there ANYONE else here that has the same problem or that wants to try it out and leave the phone off standby for some time ?
Someone that has the same problem, or someone who wants to check their phone for the same problem?
I dont know if i should return my phone for a repair..
Problem is getting visibl again,
Have used my phone some time today, but i didnt have it off standby for longer than 1 minute, and still there is a white bar slightly visible on the volume controll screen.
This is definately a problem with the screen right? something like Lazy pixels or something..
Anyone that can help?
btw, its seems that only the white colors get burned in
edit
It only seems to get "Burned" in when i'm in a window with white bars or spaces, and it fades when i have the phone on a black screen for a while..
And it only happens with the HTC Volume app?
no, but its good visible on that screen, its also slightly visible on the home screen etc..
It doesn't only burn in when the phone is off standby, but it also seems to get worse when the phone is ON standby... what i mean is that it doesn't fade away right away when the phone is on standby...
Just went back to the store to get a new phone.
I checked right away if the new phone also has the same problem, and it does...
texts also seem to get burned in for a while on this new phone, but also dissapear when the phone is unused for a while...
Could you guys check your phone's if you have the same problem?
Just use it for a while and check the volume control window if there are images still slightly visible on the screen.
Hope someone can do that for me!
edit.
Could i be SO unlucky that i have had 2 phone's of 1 wrong production serie?
Can anyone please check out their phone for the same problem?
I would like to know if there are more people experiencing this problem so that i dont have to return my phone for the 4th time =)
also i have spotted this problem. but it happened just a few times when the phone was hot (using gps).
Mmm ok, and you had the problem the exact same as me ? visible on the volume control screen etc?
More people having this problem?
Would appriciate it if some more of you could check it out for me
It never happened on my Fuze, I think it might be a bad batch that your store got in. That could be why when you returned it you're seeing the same things, a lot of people with yellow spots in their screen returned theirs and got the same thing in the next one.

Artifacts on screen after unlock?

I use a black background for both my lock screen and home screen. Just this morning I noticed that sometimes after I unlock my screen, or hit the home button and return to my home screen after being in an app, I get artifacts that pop up on my screen for a second or two. Usually on the left hand side.
They arent truly "artifacts", it looks as though its images of the icons on my home screen flashing up on my screen for like 1-2 seconds then dissappearing. I have also seen a little checkerboarding pop up as well
This is sort of hard to explain through text. I guess I'd have to record a video and post it here, but I'm at work and cant do that until later. If anyone knows what im talking about or has had this problem, what did you do to fix it?

True black lock screen?

Anyone able to get their lock screen true black? Everything I've tried looks like light bleeds from behind.
OK figured it out. If you want a true black lockscreen you have to turn off ripple effect under security>lock screen.

Lock screen to home screen transition?

Iam not sure if this always happened and iam only noticing it recently but when i swipe on the lock screen, The screen goes black for a split second before showing the home screen? Its by no means a problem but iam just curious if everyone experiences that? Its literally just a flash almost before the home screen shows itself
Woops , never mind! Totally forgot i had turned off animations in developer options ha Might not be as fast to unlock but for the sake of it being 1/3of a second slower..........it looks much smoother and better

Tap to wake and notch hided

Hello there
I lukily save a oneplus from a recycled bin. The screen was broken but a red light when plugged let me think it was still alive.
I have change the screen myself. The screen came with a new frame. All work, but I never get any oneplus before. I use to get Korean phone only.
Well. I got strange stuff and I am wondering if it a OnePlus things or a screen quality issue.
I sadly learn the deal with the AOD which is not Always on... Well next.
First the double tap to wake work only on the right half side of screen. There is no reaction if I click anywhere on the left half part of the screen.
Is that a OnePlus things to avoid accident ?
Second when I select in the setting to hide the notch. It does not completely disapears, a line of the size of one pixel still visible. So only 99% of the notch is hidden.
Third, I love OLED display for the black. It work well on the OnePlus, until the brigtness get less thqn 5%. From there and less, the black become a dark blue. I have tried to swap night mode, flicker and other, but still, at best the dark blue become dark red.
Thanks in advance for confirming or not the points.
