i am not sure if its really a screen burn,but a few marks on screen i could be wrong
Could you take a picture of your screen? To determine if it is burn in. Can't imagine because of would require to display the keyboard several hours if not longer.
It has like marks on the screen ,I changed covers it got reduced
Is it like scuffs on the screen it's self? Maybe from a case or something using against the screen? If you had a screen burn image left it would look roughly faint yellowish and cloudy, if it's not like a faint image of a icon or something along those lines.
Lol I have the same thing. The entire keyboard got burnt in and the WhatsApp logo. Extremely visible on white backgrounds. Happens when you put the S6 to full brightness and leave it on for a night or so. It is safe to carry, but dont expect the screenburn to go away
Here's the burn in on mine. Sorry the picture is not the best, I had to use an old Nexus 5 to take it. It was like that when I bought it. The lady that sold it to me owned it for a year and a half.
I'm a lot more careful about leaving images on the screen that will burn in. I even change my dock icons regularly.

picked up 2 Nexus S on release day, went home happy. Preoccupied with work, so I only powered them up last night.
To my Surprise, both phones have dust under the glass! WTF Samsung? Removed the plastic sheet on the front to make sure, and yes, it's under the glass.
on one phone the dust was smack in the middle, while on the other phone it was a little left of the middle.
Can't be seen on a dark screen, but once you switch to a white background like the web or texting you can see it.
I know I am probably being OCD and anal about this, but heck I paid over $1k for both phones out of contract.
Went back to BestBuy and returned them promply, of course now they are sold out, and I have to wait for the next shipment.
Just wondering if others have similar experiences? BTW, I also had a Galaxy Tab and before returned it, it also had some dust specs under the glass...
I also own an HD2 and G2, seems HTC is better at QC.
Shame, really want this phone but WTF samsung?
Nope you sure its under the glass?

No dust under the screen here.
It seems that this first batch of phones is a rather mixed bag; some have defects and others are fine. It was a good idea to return them, hopefully your replacements will be free of issues.
My first S had a little speck of something. I initially thought it was a dead pixel, but I could see it when the screen was off also so I assumed it was dust. I returned it and checked the next one out before I left the store and it seems to be good.

100% sure, remove the screen protectors on both of them and rubbed the area where it was, thought it was a dead pixel too, but no it was fine on a dark background, but on a white background could see it easily.
sold out at my local bb, but still available online might go that route.
just wanted to see other people's experiences or maybe they didnt notice yet, lol.

this happen when you have 2 layers for the screen. the internal part and the upper part where you touch.
there is an advantage for this. if god forbid you dropped and broke the screen, only the upper part gets replaced. and wouldnt cost you much to do so " and you wont get another screen with dead pixel and being OCD whatever the new screen is good or not. because the actuall inner screen isnt touched.
the bad thing about is what you said. dust can enter in the middle between both layers of the screen.
even if you get a new nexus S without dust under the screen, if you leave it in the open area with sun and wind always hitting it, you will get a dust somehow inside as well. so make sure your phone is in a pocket most of the time.
the only phone i remember right now that had both layers of the screens touched as 1 part is the iphone 2G and the iphone 4 " i am sure there are others but i dont know "
this result to no dust under the screen no matter what " unless the dust came from factory while they were attaching both screens on top of each other and glue them "
but if you break your screen in the iphone 4.... god help you.
Yeah, after about a week and couple of days of usage, I've got my first spec of dust in the top left area of the screen. Really, it's nothing noticeable but I do have some sort of OCD with my phone (god help me if I get a visible scratch on the screen).
I don't think it's really worth taking it back to get it changed as this Nexus S I have currently has no problems whatsoever, I don't even have the pink or yellow screen issue with this one. I think I'm just gonna have to live with that one spec of dust for now...
I think this may be just bad QC. I looked at ifixit taking apart the NS. Basically they said the trickiest part to the disassembly was the screen, and they had to use a heat gun to soften the glue just to separate the 2 screens. So dust entering between those 2 screens would be pretty difficult unless the glue wasn't properly applied from the assembly line.

I don't have dust under my Nexus S screen... but I do have dust under my front facing camera! And its only recently just got there - I remember playing around with it extensively when I first got it 6 months ago and the camera was really clear and sharp.
Now it is all fuzzy and white haze. And I can see all the dust particles on the underside of the glass. Annoying!
Anyone know if there's an easy way to clean it? Or is it a case of back to Samsung?
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.
Hey guys,
I have a problem. My brother's phone doesn't look good. ):
As you can see from the photos the screen looks washed out and the sides and corners are dark. This happened yesterday. The phone was on and charging during the night, and when he woke up the screen was like this.
As you can see on the top of the screen there is also a black spot. This was smaller yesterday, but appears to have grown; the screen appears to be deteriorating. Just in case, the phone was also put in recovery mode but nothing changed; it is clearly a hardware issue.
Some details: On Saturday, the day before the problem, he was out at the beach. The phone was in a bag on the beach in the sun. The bag's bottom was wet, but the phone was nowhere near the bottom. Anyway, the phone's screen was fine at that point.
Has anyone experienced this before? Can anyone help? Thanks!
SOLUTION
Why did you use snap chat to share the photo?

My Note 2's battery was at 4 percent, so stock camera app would not let me take picture. So I used Snapchat!

I don't know if that would make a difference, my display is on all night every night on the charger and I have no ill effects to the screen. But, if he had a faulty screen to begin with, that could cause some issues I'd imagine. And with all the issues popping up about the N5, I wouldn't rule out a defective screen from the manufacturer.

I can confirm that the screen wasn't on all night during charging.

Yea, the charging all night shouldn't really have any effects on the screen..
I wouldn't rule that it being a defect, no; after some research I found some people complaining about yellowish tint to their Nexus 5 screens but from the images it does not look as bad as this, so we are still wondering what it is.
The Nexus will spend the night in a bag of rice just in case there is water inside. :good:
It can still be water (steam) damage. You said that phone was in a wet bag so it is possible that under some heat there was some steam/moisture that could damage the phone. But still I hope it is not that, because warranty would be voided...

Problem solved guys.
Tenhi seems to have been right. Moisture.
My brother assumed it was that so he put his phone in a bag of rice for a few hours and it got slightly better. But since he bought the phone from ebay and it has no warranty, he followed this guide to open the screen and wipe all the plastic (or whatever) layers behind the screen (the reflector, diffuser, and lenses or whatever, see the video). Then he left only the screen part in the rice bag for hours and now the phone is as good as new (almost).
It still has kind of a violet tint in the middle of the screen, if you look at the phone from the side but from the front it isn't evident at all. The screen also had green edges that disappeared.
For anyone wanting to attempt this procedure I would suggest only doing it if you have no warranty and if you have some experience in opening up a phone and/or feel confident about it. Also simply putting the screen part of the phone in rice would probably suffice, there probably is no need to take out and wipe all the 'plastic' layers behind the screen, I am thinking.
Anyway, you can see the photos of the phone attached.
It's great to see it "fixed". I managed to ruin my old phone in a similar way. It was in my pocket during one wet hiking day. I had my waterproof jacket, but moisture going out from my body ruined the phone totally.

That's too bad. /: It didn't even turn on?
Also, now that a few days have gone past the phone is back to normal! There is no longer any violet shade or any washed out colours!
Wow...guess I better watch how much I'm sweating while I carry my phone in my pocket lol
I have the same problem!
I got the same problem when I put my Nexus 5 on charging the whole night and When I woke up I found my screen with washed out effect and corners of the screen were alright just the middle portion of the screen was having purple tint appeared when screen is black out but on!
After having this problem I charge my phone via USB and put my screen on highest brightness, I found the effect is lowering after two days.
Do you find any solution for that?

This thread is pointless without pictures.
lol, can't you start a discussion and share experiences without having to depend on pictures? I've stated my case, Screen burn-in within 3 months of using the phone. Unless you have zero idea what screen burn is, well that's not my problem or am I expexting too much from a Recognized Contributor? ?????

White is ideal but try to download one of those Screen Burn test app from playstore. Look for ghost image...

I wonder if screen protectors and tempered glass makes screen burn worst or appear sooner. I mean, we know screens generate heat and with screen protectors and tempered glass on it makes it harder for heat to scape.
My screen is amazing
I don't have any screen burn-in. But what is your usage like? The screen stays the same for a long amount of time? Just wondering if it is due to some prolonged still image on the screen.
The ghost image were from playing PUBG but I don't even play that long because I'm mostly at work and sleeping most of the day lol. Mostly just 2 games a day.. that's like less than an hour a day and not even everyday.
That's why I am wondering if having a tempered glass contributed to it by not allowing heat generated by screen to pass through.

I have same problem with my mate 20x up right side there is written killed alive and up left side there is bag icon..... Iam playing pubg mobile 3 to 4 hour per day with 90 percent brightness.... Plz tell me how can I fix this screen burn... My phone is out of warranty
The brightness and duration increase chances of screen burn in. Nothing to do with screen protectors.

Maybe trying to pry the phone open and slapping a new glass screen and digitizer on it. But its a bit risky to do. There are yt vids on how to open your mate 20 x up if youre so inclined and out of warranty.
It means there is no way to fix... Bcoz I saw some people's are fixing screen burn in samsung mobiles... Like note 4 note 5 s8..... I thought maybe some kind of software can fix this problem.... All the mobile gamer will face this kind of burn in problem
Here is the pictures.... U can see bag icon up side of clock digit 8 and the left side there is written killed alive
Hi guys! I have an issue with my screen on OnePlus 7 Pro, and I'm not really sure what this is. I never had a thing like this on other phones, my OnePlus 6 had a few scratches, but they never behaved this way. And the thing doesn't even look like a scratch but more of a huge print that doesn't go away.
Here is a picture - imgur.com/a/Smb6rvF After about month of having a phone and it always being in the case and with the default screen protector I've started noticing the image distortion in the same place from time to time, you know like a huge fingerprint or grease on the screen but it would appear at the same place. I thought okay, maybe I've scratched the screen so that I can remove the screen protector and it should be fine. So I did, but the thing stayed there as if it was either placed through screen protector or from the other side. And again, it's not that I never saw a scratch or a crack on the screen, but never this thing.
Then after about a week, the thing grew, you can see the blue line here - imgur.com/a/UI4FQTA
the red one was the initial one that I saw even with screen protector on, and the blue just grew out of the old one. Like I pull the phone from the pocket one day, and it's there. And not like I'm wearing and tearing the phone, just regular stuff - in jeans, inside pocket of the jacket, in the sealed pocket in the backpack. And I live in a big city, and I never notice any sand or small particles on the screen or the case. And it doesn't look like a scratch, but more as if the prints just bound to the screen and don't go away.
imgur.com/a/OnPSqj2 - is a more closeup shot. And again you wouldn't notice the thing at the start of the day when I clean my screen, but by the end, it will collect some grease and more prints and will be showing.
Here's a video what happens when I clean the screen -
imgur.com/a/tprePWI
FYI warranty or anything like that is out of the question since, I bought it during the holiday travel, and the phone is not officially sold in my country. I just wanted to know if there is any solution for this and how to prevent this from happening? Are these scratches but look different because of the new Gorilla Glass version or something like that?
Any help or advice is appreciated, just sad a thing like that happened so early in the life cycle
