Hi Guys!
I have a Touch Pro, but i thought I post here, because it's acually the same phone, and here it's more crowded..
I installed S2U2 2 days ago, and just now after waking up the device I saw S2U2 flickering in the background. Like it was a flickering transparant overlay.
So I turn off the device, and turn it back on..
Then when I got the Touch Pro logo (Pre-windows!!) I saw S2U2 stiill overlaying the screen!!!
So my conclusion is: S2U2 Burned in my screen, so if you have it installed i'd suggest removing it before it trashes your display!..
I'm going to return my phone.. hoping they'll repair it..
Cant take photos now.. but will do when i get home...
Edit.. Sorry guys.. changed my conclusion! S2U2 is not guilty.. TouchPro's/Diamond's display is
Sounds scary. Could you post a photo?
Found some information about this.. Thought it would be nice to share, since I will not be the only and the last one with this problem:
TFT monitors don't suffer from burned-in images.. But they do suffer from "retained pixel charge".. this will cause "Ghost images" (like mine)
More info HERE
Is Image-Sticking Reversible?
Unlike permanent burn-in in phosphor-based displays, which is the result of a premature aging of the phosphors of individual pixels, and thus, is irreversible, image sticking in LCD panels can often be reversed to a point of total invisibility.
However, the extent to which image sticking can be reversed depends on the severity of the causes that eventually led to image retention; top in the list is the environmental temperature at which image sticking took place.
A way to remove a retained image on an LCD panel is to run an all-white screen saver for several hours. It would generally help if this image sticking reversal operation were run at an elevated temperature of around 100 deg. Fahrenheit or 40 deg. Celsius. This should help speed up the reversal process.
Some manufactures would recommend instead using an all-back or dark gray pattern screen saver. Whichever method you choose, make sure the LCD TV or monitor energy savings settings will not turn the backlight off after some time of inactivity.
Other manufacturers would recommend turning off the LCD display for a longer period than the time it took for the static image to cause image retention.
While all three methods can help to remove image sticking, yet our best advice is to follow the manufacturer's instructions whenever these are available.

Seems like it will go away when I turn off the screen for a while..
So let's do that, and I'll keep you posted!
damn, try this on your diamond browser:
http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php
click the link on the bottom of that page after reading
Thanks! but the applet doesn't work on the mobile browser..
But i've created an avi of it (it works on the pc so Print Screen )
I will play that a couple of times!
Will keep you posted!
oh my god...
i can't understand how it happens.
do you turn off the screen while locked?
[i don't think it's a problem of s2u2...]
I don't think it's S2U2's fault either.. Usualy I turn the screen off. but today while charging through usb, maybe it stayed on, I didn't pay any attention it acually..
I made an wmv file with some flickering screens to stress the tft/lcd screen.. looks like it worked.. stressed it for nearly an hour and it looks gone..
I'll look for somewhere to upload it.. maybe someone else can use it too!
edit: here it is.. :
Click here to open the wmv, right-click save as to save it
g8 work man.
i wait a definitive release of sensorlock, so i'm using s2u2
but i pay attention to switch off the screen ALWAYS

Was just about to say that! Atleast the part with TFT cant be burned-in.

Hi guys,
Just bought this wonderfull device but i'm having some question about it. it seems that the right side of the display is less brighter then the left side. I tried a few images but it looks like the lights are just not brighter. I adjust the contrast and on the highest setting the screen seems to be ok .
I have included some pictures, in the last picture it's very noticable. As you can see the left Agenda and the right Contacten, Agenda is really bright Contacten not. What is your idea about it? Do you guys have the same?
See the difference?
The device is brand new 1 day old, can i return it or ask for a new? Thnx for your support...
Many thanks for your feedback!
Nick
Is your backlight on full? If not try it and see if you still have this 'issue'
Try to Change the backround.
looks like a pattern of the backround.

If you just got it today does that mean you applied the screen protector today? Sometimes it takes a bit of use to sit flat on the screen and so could give such an effect.

No didn't applied it yet. Thought I wait so I'm able to return it. I will try a few new patterns. But you don't have this problem?

Whenn having it full it seems to be less. When having it on less you really see the difference.

No, just checked mine. I can't say it's obvious from your pics and unfortunately your last pic seems unavailable. If it is darker over the "Contacten" word then I can't see that this is a wallpaper issue, since that is a toolbar.

Hi
I thought this for a small while.
Try turning your screen to landscape, has the slight difference down one side changed with rotation?
If so it is probably just the shading applied to some screens by Microsoft, for example the contacts list and email lists have a colour graduation, white on the left and then a slight blue tint towards the right.
Open up pocket Word, this is a completely white screen, no graduation, do you see the problem now?

hi i am in the uk.. on three network. i got my htc one on the 3rd of april, and 4 days later the screen started to flicker? not all the time? but browsing? esp facebook or anything page with white? i guess the white shows up the flicker more? like i say NOT all the time but soo annoying!! not what i expected from a high end phone? Now let me just say i love this phone.. but thought i cant have this.. so i fill out support form for htc and they reply quick advising me it should not do this and to get it changed. i contact three go through the whole call centre thing (like pulling teeth) anyways the upshot was.. three sent me another brand new phone the next day (yesterday) and took back my first one. And guess what? as soon as i switch the phone on, same screen flicker? i treated the first phone like a new born baby didnt drop or bash it 4 days=screen flicker. another new phone as soon as i use it = screen flicker!! i so love this phone but im so gutted!! any suggestions from ANYONE would help.
kind regards

This isn't helpful but you must just be unlucky to have had it happen twice because mine's been perfect and I've not seen anyone else on this forum mention that problem with theirs.
I guess you'll have to get a new one sent out again and hope for the best :thumbup:
Could you make a short video clip to illustrate your problem ?

hi.. to be honest i dont think a video would pick the problem up? you know i could just be being a kill joy? ive watched videos etc and there really isnt a problem with that at all.. in fact the quality of the picture is fab? if i could use an analogy? remember when the volume control on your stereo would get dust in it? and you would have to twiddle the knob to cure it? its a bit like that? like i say it does not do it all the time but i notice it with white in the screen? like facebook google and when i am navigating thru the screens on the phone like settings etc? the white flickers white/slightly darker white? hence my example? now ive changed my text messages colour scheme so that doesnt annoy me now with it.. but obviously as a electronics layman.. i cant help but think if it was a problem with the screen itself, other colours would do the same as they would if there was a loose connestion? and also if it was a power flow problem with the battery? same thing? not just the white on screen? so i can only conclude as a layman again.. that it is some sort of issue with the os? screen refresh rate maybe? i just dont know? and i cant help think stupidly or not that when htc finally get around to an os update to 4.2.2 (or whatever it is) from 4.1.2 the whole thing will be resolved?
Could it be the auto brightness doing its thing? Try turning it off maybe that might solve it.
I might be totally wrong, be great if that fixed it though. Good luck
well well well!!!! And there you have it!! or at least something like that? ive always used the multi widgit for wifi bluetooth brightness etc? so i have brightness preset on that. instead ive gone into display settings, adjusted brightness with slider? no more flicker!! NO MORE FLICKER!! who ever you are!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Was this happening when the stock power widget brightness was set to medium?
If so, I have the same flickering ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243483 ), but I've found out that its not the power widgets fault per se, but the the the level that it sets it to. The widget set the brightness to 33%, and that the level which I'm getting flickering at, regardless of if it was set with the power widget or by the slider. The flickering happens on screen with a good amount of white. Google search result webpage is a good test case; it shows the flickering clearly at 33%. It also seems to depend on where the white is on the screen. For example, I can induce flickering at 40% brightness by moving a light colored icon from the bottom of the screen to the top! Moving it back to the bottom causes the flickering to go away. I can also do it by moving around or resizing the Gmail widget. Flickering happens for me to some extent at brightness values between 33 and 45 under certain screen conditions. Above or below these brightness values, the screen is top notch, no endless flickering at all regardless of how much white is on screen. I'm starting to think this has to do with the dynamic contrast feature of the One. It seems as though it falls in an endless loop of trying to change the contrast, as if it cant decide on what to set the contrast to. Or it could be that the dynamic contrast is fighting for a certain brightness value, but the manually set brightness is not allowing it. I might be wrong about this, and it could just be a hardware backlight problem, regardless, I wish HTC had the Sense (ha ha!) to allow us to disable dynamic contrast if we wanted to. I'm pretty sure this is whats causing the issue where people see flickering when the keyboard pops up.
screen issue?
hi..
i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?
JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

Hello! I have somehow managed to get a reallllllly annyoing screen burn in on my G Flex. Its the status bar and another part under it that's maybe .7cm wide, going from side to side. It perfectly matches the blue Facebook "bar" thing and the Chrome webbrowser search field.
I wonder, how the hell could this happen? I know that it is an Oled display and that it risks getting a burn in, but I've never used it for an extended period of time, I just can't understand how it happend. All displaytypes can get burn-ins I've read, but they shouldn't get it from moderate use. Now is there any way to fix this? It i reaally annoying considering I payed alot of money for it. I have googled it and found nothing useful. Do you think it's possible to get a new device?
Cheers
Well i had a little at the the bottom i noticed and i turned the phone off for awhile and it got rid of it maybe you should try that and see if it works. Hope it helps burn in sucks.

Maybe it's just temporary image retention you see. Doesn't it go away after a little while? If you keep away from the home screen for a long time does the same burn-in still show?

It's definately not just temporarily, I've had it for maybe 2-3 weeks and not cared very much. Now though it starts to annoy me more and more.
I also shut off my phone every night for around 8 hours so, yeah, it's permanent... Could this just be a bad display as it is an early sample, or is this just how it is?

You shouldn't get permanent burn-in unless you use the mobile with maximum brightness all the time and letting it show static images most of the time. The screen is most sensitive to burn-in while it's new. You could try to exchange it if they accept it as a fault.
However you can also try to "wash" it out first. Put the phone on maximum brightness showing an 100% white screen. No statusbar or navbar just plain white all over the screen. Doing this for a few hours can get rid of burn-in.

That's the annoying part, I have owned alot of phones with displaytypes from S-AMOLED to LCD and so on, and NEVER had this problem before. This phone has only seen normal, regular use and I always take care of my phones.
And this wash out thing, is it safe to do? I've read that it isn't safe for OLED/AMOLED displays, it could be total bs though, as it came from other threads that i read.

Well nothing bad can really happen when you "wash" the screen that way. As long as you make sure ALL of the screen is white and have no statusbar or navbar present.
This technique is often used on Plasma TV's when they get burn-in. What happens is you "age" all of the pixels when doing this and sometimes it can get rid of burn-in. No garantuee for it though. But it never hurts to try. I've never heard that it's unsafe in any way. It's a normal thing to do.
This phone seems to have different screen revisions. I have two G-Flex at the moment and one of them is much more noticeably grainer in the texture even though they are on the same firmware. On one example I can hardly notice it if I don't look for it while the other one looks noisy as heck and I see it easily and can't ignore it. Really big difference between the two. The noisy one is also a LOT more prone to image retention. I will get rid of the one with the noisy screen for a good price and keep the good one only.

Ah, well I'm going to try that then! And btw, my statusbar has burned in, but not my navbar buttons... Kinda weird, huh?
And I think that I have the "bad" revision, as my screen is REALLY grainy at lower brightness and when displaying dark images. If this problem doesnt solve I'll try to send it in, and if they replace it I hope that I get a less grainy one, even though that I don't really care about that haha. I'll run in a couple of hours and come back with results!

I believe you have a defective display then. Even my worse panel does not suffer from permanent burn-in. It all goes away in seconds.
I've had this happen last night on my flex where I was watching a movie that was letterboxed, half way through and I had to reload the movie due to a bathroom break and noticed the letterboxing in Facebook. But as of today its gone.

I have horrible image retention on pretty bad on mine primarily the onscreen softkeys. When I go in a game after I've been browsing the web I can clearly see a line where the soft keys bar is and clearly make out all three buttons. It's horribly annoying and I'm wondering if it's a defective phone or is this just the crappy way the G FLEX is?
So I'm having some weird issue with my Sony Xperia Z, the screen works absolutely fine, but there's this mystical dissolve(my apologies, couldn't find the right word to describe this problem).
The phone have been dropped before, but nothing happend. It have always been protected by case and tempered glass. One day I noticed the text on menu starts to blur a bit. Then few days later the same started to happen with album. And the thing is I haven't dropped it in a long time. And I have never sat on it either, so that's not the cause.
And what's is most frustrating, that the pixels tend to dissolve only when picture is in background, if its pure black or any other color nothing dissolves. And screen works perfectly in games, but when I view pictures or i open even the menu it starts to act real weird.

PS - I already tried reboot in safe mode, complete factory reset through sony companion, opened it up and reconnected everything connected to lcd and digitizer.
PSS - Today I noticed that the picture blurs on colored image, while on black&white one it is perfect, any ideas?
I am facing the same problem. Havent got a solution yet.
Dont have a perfect solution but atleast i can help you with a trick of my own.
This is going to drain your battery quicker then normal
Go to google play and download screen filter and set it b/w 30 and 34 and adjust your phones brightness to half or even more than that
Im sure you wont be satisfied but atleast it wont give you tears while looking at the screen.

I think a lot of us have had our phone for about a month now, and this is my second OLED phone so I know how to treat it with more care in comparison to my old Moto Z Force. (look in the attachments ( :silly: ) [Ignore the cracks, they're on the glass screen protector, not the phone itself]
But, so far I haven't gotten any screen burn I on my Note 9 (I use an app called White to check it). I use about 50-60% brightness throughout the day and sometimes a little more during gaming and watching videos, an SOT of 30 secs, AOD is activated, so far so good.
What about everyone else?
Hey there .
You shouldn't check for screen burn in with this blue image
Try this dark green picture I will upload (use full screen brightness)
Or this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oledtools
I've noticed some strange pattern on my phone not sure if screen burn in or faulty oled panel
I'll have an eye on it
None here had since release but then again I run full immersive mode so that always helps
One month old note 9 it's a shame
And I have no clue why
None of my apps have such an layout
Screen off time is 15 seconds and after I had screen burn in on my s8 I was really careful on my note
But I have to admit I am really not sure if this is really screen burn in or maybe structure stuff of the phone or the panel
I opened every app and I have no app that have this layout or anywhere close to it

Yeah that burn-in looks insanely weird, assuming if it even is burn in. I tried OLED tools and didn't notice any burn in on my panel there either thankfully, however I did try your dark green image on my phone and even at 100% brightness the picture looks black.
EDIT: Okay you're supposed to look at this in COMPLETE darkness, and I do see the green on my phone now, and from the looks of things I still don't see anything in particular burned into my panel. Though, is the picture supposed to be darker at the bottom than it is at the top?

Yeah I am also not sure might be the panel maybe structure thing (really checked every app for a similar pattern but there is none and I've seen burn in before I know what's causing it)
Sorry should have told you have to look at it in complete darkness
And nope the image should be everywhere the same green
Should be a slight green so the green pixels are just turned on a little bit
You should check the app I posted in the first post it's very useful to check for burn in or any other stuff maybe you can also post results j am really curious

Well, oddly enough the green image is a "bright" green at the top of my phone and gradually fades to black toward the bottom, but this isn't anything I can see in any other program I use. I used OLED tools but it seems to just be an app to swap through colors? I can do that using White

Yeah for me this pattern thing is also not visible (ATM I wish I never looked for this thread )only if you really "want" to see it
No no oled tools offers you different stuff in the main menu the first one it the one to test the panel
In this mode you can swipe to change the "brightness" of the color/pixels
And single tap shows a button to change color
Edit: so for me only the green pixels have this weird pattern blue and red are fine
My note 8 has some burn in ghosting from watching YouTube in non landscape mode. It's not horrible but its there for sure. Going to try to be a little more careful this time around. Also you tube didnt uave a dark mode until recently either. Not sure if dark mode will help

What kind of burn in you gout from YouTube ? Like where the video is or the down below ?
Cause I thought about that a few times and my s8 kind of stated that
Using black theme or so gives you kind of reverse screen burn in
So the part that is black wont burn in for sure but the other pixels that are on those are aging faster then those that are off because of black
So you will see that after a time
Call me crazy here but that's what my s8 had
I had black navbar and at the end the navbar was like reversed burned in because those pixels were not that often used then the other ones
That's what ive noticed
Ify theory is wrong correct me
wer wo was said:
One month old note 9 it's a shame
And I have no clue why
None of my apps have such an layout
Screen off time is 15 seconds and after I had screen burn in on my s8 I was really careful on my note
But I have to admit I am really not sure if this is really screen burn in or maybe structure stuff of the phone or the panel
I opened every app and I have no app that have this layout or anywhere close to it

I have this very same weird pattern visible on dark screens on my Note 9. Must be the panel or something else behind the screen. Thought I was the only one, but apparently not... Not sure what's going on.

I would really like to know what's causing this. My phone is also only a month old. This device is too expensive to have this kind of issue with the screen this early. What's weird is that I noticed it several days ago but then apparently it went away, but came back today.
I'm stumped.

If this is affecting several users and their devices, then Samsung has a defective screen on their hands and needs to be made aware it! Please guys, let me know your findings and/or solutions to this. I can't see it at all on white or brightly colored screens. Only on certain dark ones.

So confirmed I am not the only one
Could you also post pictures of your screen like I did ? Would be interesting
These windows is where is most noticeable. Also has a very faint line under the top video box
I experienced burn-in on my Note 8 and S7 edge. Both were caused from a combination of having auto brightness enabled, along with heavy usage of YouTube while on my daily drives. I would have my phone attached to a car mount sitting on the air vents. While driving, the different lighting angles of the day would cause my screen to trigger daylight mode. I found out the hard way, that long periods of daylight mode watching videos was creating a burn-in on my screen. With this being a common problem, you would think that Samsung would consider this problem by allowing users more control on adjusting the daylight mode settings a bit more. Since then, I'm currently using "Screen Brightness Control(F-Lux)" to auto maintain a screen brightness between 35% - 70%. So far no burn-in on my note 9.
I've used the OLED tools and other tools to check burn in and it seems that i don't have any burn-in whatsoever, not even on the more used areas like the nav bar or notification bar. I use a system wide Amoled black theme that i created from the ThemeGalaxy app. I frequently run in fullscreen mode (or atleast try to) with a transparent nav bar with translucent icons. I typically have my brightness in the mid to high range but rarely full brightness. Even my most frequent used apps and system apps are completely black for the background and i use Vanced Youtube for the Amoled black background. Hope this helps for those that want to slow screen burn-in.
Today I am really just confused ?
Yesterday I showed you this dot pattern in my screen specials on the green pixels
Today thought like "take another look"
And it's gone
Everything is working like it should be
I have no clue why
Didn't change anything (only thing that comes to mind first is battery charge I will have a look again later)
But it's just gone
no dots nothing at all
Someone in this thread also said it disappeared and comes back
So let's investigate what's causing it

Yep, mine has done the very same thing. I think it has to do with when the phone gets hot and the water cooling system is activated... but that's just a wild guess. Will take many who are having the same issue to investigate and test it out.
This thread reminded me to shift my desktop icons around.
I had burn in on my previous Note 8 that had them stuck on the main screen.
Possibly a combination of Auto Brightness and Super Crazy Outside Brightness.
- Which I just remembered to turn off.
So...Keep your eyes OPEN!

As far as I know there is nothing to be activated with water cooling
This super carbon water cooling thing is just marketing bull**** ?
The note 9 have a noticeable bigger heat pipe than other phones and that's all
No real magic (search on YouTube "note 9 Jerry")
Yesterday I took the pictures with low battery state so I will drain battery now to the same amount and check
And also check your heat idea
Let's have a look
Use the displayed tester app by brainstree to check for screen burn in. Especially use the grey #8080 test card color. You can also adjust the brightness level by swiping the up or down . Normally the grey will show defects well.
