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? ?????

I don't think I have screen burn ... what background would be best to see it? white?

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

Screen rippling a widespread issue?

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.

[Q][SOLVED] Faded Screen

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!

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.

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...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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?

[Q] Dark Splotch on phone. What kind of damage is this?

I've just noticed a large dark splotch on the upper right corner hand of my phone.
Here are some pictures:
http://imgur.com/a/LHiF1#0
These were taken with my Nexus 7 2013 so excuse the poor quality. I removed my screen protector prior to taking these shots.
All the color screens are from Dead Pixel Test. I've also included a snap of gmail and circa just to illustrate the blotch in apps with light backgrounds.
I try to be as careful as I can with my phone. I've never dropped my phone on the ground or in water.
I found this article while I was searching - it looks similar.

Seems like a force to the screen? Do you carry your phone in your back pocket?

No, I always carry it in my front pocket and give it the entire pocket.
Hmm whatever this blotch is, it's now shrunk to this small 1mm circle.

S6(Screen Burn)

Hi,guys I have a s6 it's has a screen burn from the keyboard and whatsapp icons,will anything bad happen to the screen in due time?or is it safe to carry on using the phone(sorry I am not a expert in all this)
Seriously how did you manage to get a screen burn in?? On a phone...

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.

Screen bleed

Does anyone have screen bleed issues? I'm having a tough time identifying if there are any. Can someone post pictures for reference?

No I don't have any screen bleeding issue.
But if you aren't sure use an all blck wallpaper and if you see whitish tone near the edges your screen is bleeding.

Perhaps a white wallpaper would show any particular screen bleeding than black wallpaper.
I dont need to post pictures, there is rather noticeable bleeding all around the display when using dark wallpaper when brightness is set to more rhan 50% (indoor usage). Especially on top and bottom edge of the display.

I am facing an issue that is I am getting a vertical line in the above center of the screen which is only seen when i turn off the screen. It isn't a scratch but it feels like the display is burned or something. I don't know why it is happening. I have cleaned the device but that is not getting rid of it. I am thinking to go to service centre to get a replacement or something. Btw i play pubg alot, maybe it is the reason. But this should not a good sign of every RN7Pro customer !

That's new to me and is quite strange to see. Doesn't look like screen bleed or burn though. Do get it checked at the service centre, and, if possible, enquire from them as to what caused it and keep us updated. Also, playing pubg shouldn't have such drastic effects on a device.

Yeah it's really strange!
I don't know if i will get replacement or what coz i bought this 20 days ago.
Let's see what happen.
I've had a similar issue on my old phone. Either you have been cleaning your screen too much (so much that you have "cleaned" away a part of the oleophobic coating) or you have been playing games too much (sliding your finger along the same part of the screen and your sweat dissolved the oleophobic coating little by little). Try placing a couple of water drops on that part of the screen and also on different part of the screen (where there is no "smudge" ). You'll see a difference in the water drop shape. As far as i know, there is no way to restore factory applied oleophobic coating to its original condition.

I quite agree with you 2nd point of playing game that is pubg as I already mentioned and as you said "sliding your fingers along same part of the screen" Yes, this could be the reason as the joystick is on the left and it's always sliding there and as the device gets heated I get sweat on my thumb. But I have been playing pubg on my recent Note 5 Pro, I never got any sort of smudge. By the way it's not a cheap phone as it has best specs. But I did not expect this issue and yes I have cleaned with water but it's now permanent. I am little worried about the phone as I will go to the service center today to get replacement or whatever they will say. I will let you all know what will be the result.
Unfortunately, no oleophobic coating is perfect as it will wear off every device/surface over time. It depends on how one uses his/hers phone. I can only speculate that since RN5P and RN7P have different screen materials, the oleophobic coating will perform differently on each device. There are also other factors at play. I hope the service centre will give you a replacement unit, but this case scenario falls under "normal wear and tear" category which is, to my knowledge, not considered as a device defect. Anyway, there are some products out there that claim to restore/reapply the oleophobic coating of a screen, but i really doubt their efficacy. I guess you have nothing to loose if you wish to try some out, but even if they work, their efficacy will not be near as good as a factory applied coating. Good luck.

Unfortunately, service center only said that this is the first time that this problem we have faced and said you can only get the new lcd panel inspite of replacing the device.
So now I have to replace the lcd panel and have to wait for 7-10 days with submitting my phone to the service center! Without submitting the device they will not replace the lcd which is sad.

I respect you answer!
But do you know that I have been using this device since 25 days, thereafter, my device had not felt even once.
Secondly, I use this device with cover that is provided in the mi store worth 349 which is very safe and good cover.
Fortunately, the device was all good when I opened the box and there was no spot, but I have noticed that spot after 15 to 20 days.
I thought that is is nothing just a smudge which can be cleared with a cloth but it doesn't get rid of it.
If I damaged the Device physically then a scratch must be there on the screen where there is a spot, so there is not even a single scratch. By the way if I have damaged it myself then I have to mention that thing in the thread, as I mentioned playing PUBG, because I had a doubt that when I play PUBG daily 3-4 hours the device is heated a lot above the center portion and the place where the spot is as same as the joystick of pubg which is used continuously ! Lastly I had no screen guard on the screen !
