Hello guys I never noticed it but for some time I noticed something strange on the screen of my galaxy S. Putting it in landscape in the upper left corner i see the notification bar as if it's printed on the screen. I don't post any screen because in these you can't see what you see on the screen phone and that's what worries me
Sorry for my english
Thanks

Screen burn in. Get launcherpro or a new launcher that can turn off notification bar

Well since the picture is already burned in to your screen, the only way to fix it is to change the display. If you haven't opened the phone etc. then you can just take it to a service centre. I'm quite sure that burn in is covered under the warranty, so you won't have to pay anything.
You could first try to take the battery out for a couple of hours and see if it helps.
If that doesn't work, you can try to somehow put a bright white on the whole screen on the phone and keep it about an hour.
If none of those solutions work, just take it to a service centre.

Well yes, you've had the problem once so you could have it again. But warranties are there to ensure that you have a product that functions as expected. If Samsung are willing replace the item at no charge under warranty then it's obvious this is not the expected behaviour. Based on that logic not only is it your right to get a replacement, Samsung aren't really expecting it to happen again, otherwise burn in would be expected behaviour and not covered under warranty. Anyway my point, although so far, poorly made, is that it's not expected to happen again. Well that and so few other people have the same problem, it's extremely unlikely that it will happen again.

Exactly. Burn in is probably quite rare, especially in LED and LCD screens. I was actually surprised when I read your post. Old CRT screens used to get burn in quite often if one screen was left on for a long time. But since SGS has an AMOLED screen, the chances of a burn in happening again any time soon is quite slim.
You can try one of them burn in repair videos that just keep flashing colours that they use to unstuck pixels on lcd screens. You can get the video from youtube or anyplace you can and set media player to loop for a few hours. It might fix burn in.

Actually that wouldn't work, since the screen is AMOLED. There isn't any crystals that get stuck in one position. In LCD screens the pixels are tiny crystals that move in a way that a color is reflected to the screen. Sometimes these crystals get stuck in one position and so they show one color constantly. AMOLED screens have tiny LEDs that provide the colors to the screen. These can't get stuck, but they do wear out or burn out which leads to the colors not being produced correctly, and for that reason it'll look like a picture is stuck on the screen. That's something you probably can't do anything about.
Ok i'll see what to do.
Thanks to all!

My phone has been working perfectly with JM5 & samset v1.9f with CFlag fix v1.80.
Then the other day I noticed the screen was shaking slightly when I held my finger on the screen, as if it couldn't locate where my finger was correctly. Also it shakes alot more severely while it's charging.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? Could it be a software fault that reflashing firmware will fix, or is it a hardware fault.
Please help!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it's called haptic feedback
it's on by default, you can turn it off from Settings
is that what you mean? or it's something else?
Maybe it's the touch point itself which doesn't register correctly.
Are you using an aftermarket (non-Samsung) charger? I remember reading about someone else having trouble with the touchscreen going bonkers while he was charging the phone on a non-standard charger, which for a capacitive touchscreen might indicate some kind of electrical grounding issue, (edit: or maybe not (link)).
edit: Maybe you can try discharging the screen by wiping it with a soft cloth used for cleaning vinyl records.
I have only ever used the charger that came with the phone, and the usb that came with it to attach it to my laptop.
The problem still exists while it's not charging, it's just alot less severe.
I'm going to have to flash it to stock firmware and hope that fixes it. If not I'll have to send it out to be repaired.
I hate phones sometimes......

I should also add my screen is perfectly responsive, there are no dead zones.
It's as if the touch screen can't tell which part of my finger is touching the screen. For example; If I put my finger flat on the screen rather than the tip of my finger, it shakes alot more.

Thanks for your help, I read the link you posted, very helpful. Maybe the charger was faulty and that damaged my phone overnight?
I tried the charger at someone elses house and the increased screen shaking still occurred. But if I connect it to my laptop by usb, it reacts the same as when it's unplugged.
I will try wiping the screen with a vinyl cloth when I get home. It has got a screen protector on, but I can't imagine that affecting it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
definitely not the screen protector
i have one installed, and i don't experience those screen shakes you described.
I found this interesting thread about someone having very simular issues: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...tions/31237-please-help-droid-has-shakes.html
It hasn't helped in solving the problem, but at least I know I'm not alone with this issue.
Edit
After reading the post more carefully, it seems that this persons issue somehow fixed itself.
Perhaps the best thing to do is check if this issue is covered by warranty (so I can send it to be fixed at a later date if problem is still there) & see if mine fixes itself too...

Yes my problem is simular to that, but it's only that bad when it's charging from the mains.
I'm going to flash to stock firmware tonight. If that doesn't sort it I'll take it to a t-mobile shop & see what they suggest.
Apparently I've got 2 years warranty so if it gets worse rather than 'fixing itself' I can always send it to be repaired. I just don't want them to give me a refurbished one, knowing my luck it will be full of dead pixels...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Sounds like something interfering with the contact between your finger and the screen, or faulty hardware. ( Screen protector, wet fingers. )
If you are reproducing increased troubles with charger than it may very well be faulty hardware.
I can also attest to the high quality of the Galaxy S's touch screen, it can track 5 points very accurately.
It's not the screen protector as it was working fine with it before Tuesday, when the problem started.
I'm going to flash the firmware tomorrow when I have time, if that doesn't fix it then it must be hardware. I'll report back.

Intersting...
Ok, I flashed JF3 and the problem was still present.
I went to a local T-Mobile shop & showed them the problem. They basically said the phone still functions correctly, and recommended to stick with it and possibly get it repaired if it gets worse at a later date, which I fully agree with as I could get a refurbished phone in a worse state.
I reinstalled JM5, samset v1.9f, and used the update.zip ext4 instead of Cflag fix. I notice for some reason the problem seems less severe, but that might just be imagining it.
Thanks to everyone who helped.

i had the same problem with another phone. i tried everything. after that i just turned phone off, get all screws out of the back side. i pressed all connectors and after that put the plastic on it, turn the screws back in and restarted my phone. now i never got the problem anymore
NOTE: if youre not sure about what youre doing, ask somebody who know he can!
Kind Regards,
I have this problem with my screen that when i watch my screen directly white is more yellow or "creme" than white but when i tilt the phone up aown left right white turns white. I just wonder if that is good reson enough to exhance my note to new or get refound? And how do i show it to those warranty guys?
ps. no matter if use dynamic normal or movie the white is yellowish. And no screen adjust or power savior are on. And its also doesnt depend on screen brigthness. It looks yellowish at full and min and all in between...
I love the screen and cant buy smaller but is this hardware or software and are every one a little defected? I mean do i have to change 5 times to get good screen?
I could live with the withe but because i dont have black clipping ect so is it worthy to try change? Or does ics fix this?

No it wont but having a little yellowish screen is not the only thing that can go wrong whit note screen black crash , clipping dead pixels..
Sure you can send phone 40 times to repair or change but every time you end up with out a phone for days or weeks so the point is that if you buy a phone it should work without trying 10 phones untill it works like it should.. (And no i do not own iPhone)
Are you sure that the screen mode is on "Standard" and not "Movie" ?

When my phone battery gets low on my OB I start to get random dark patches up my screen if I'm on full brightness and using the phone for long periods of time. It's almost like some LED's start to power off in the LCD. This can be fixed with a quick lock/sleep then unlock/wake of my phone. Does anyone else have this problem?

Nope, it's still on the original LG GB rom, I'm going to wait until ICS comes out (if it ever does) to see how good it is before I install custom roms on my OB. I dropped my OB from a very short height one day (out of my pocket while I was standing up from sitting on the ground) and it bounced off the concrete, it now has a small dent in the plastic on one of the sides, do you think the service center will care about this cause I don't want to be charged $55 just for them to send it back and not do anything about the problem.
I dont think so...if you dont want to pay, you can ask them to see what they can do and if it costs something ask them to notify you
If the one working takes your warranty card/paper without saying anything it means you dont have to pay
LCD Displays generally have this behaviour if one uses the same images for hours together, But i have never experienced this with my phone, Try using phone @ 40% brightness which is more than enough at all times, It will save ur battery consumption as well.

It doesn't show up in screenshots but here is a photo of the phone with the dark patch, it's very obvious when you look at it in real life just doesn't show up in pictures too well.

The screenshot thing wasn't serious tho, hardware trouble can't be captured that way .
But this is definitely not software related.
Maybe unplugging and reconnecting the display connector helps, if not this is probably a fault in how the phone controls your display. You'll probably have this problem with every rom you try. If that's the case, put a stock rom on it and get it repaired.
It hasn't anything to do with having the same image on for a long time because the dark spots appear random on your screen. Might be a backlight problem.

I bought my N4 on 22-3-13.
it is a great device and i tried calibrating the screen before sending it in.
i had a REV11 unit.
anyway my problem was that i was having really yellowish tint on all screen but specially from left lower corner.
but the most annoying were the huge black spots especially on the upper side-center of the screen.
ok i did not worry cause some told me that that was just glue waiting to dry (well that is just BS).
the spots became larger and easier to spot when phone was getting hot( normal hot) and my eys were getting tired by that ( i guess because knowing where it is was making me concentate on that).
so i sent it to LG service here in Greece-Athens explaining the problem and along with the phone i sent a comparison pictire with another N4 of a friend.
their response toward me was " We see nothing. it is perfect. we are sending it back to you"!
lol. i asked them to keep it and contacted the customer protection agency.
2 days later LG calls me and says they are exchanging my motherboard. i asked them why, 2 days earlier you found nothing?
the responded it was the fault for the bad screen.
so they sent it back and guess what, the problem is still there and they sent a REV10 which i δon't minδ that but the previous board was flawless.
so now i am very pissed and will send it back on monday but to conclude, how dumb do you have to be not to exchange the screen and instead chang the MB when it is clearly the fault of that?
P.S: which one you think looks better?
The left one for sure is better

that is my point. they said it is the same. everyone i have asked say the same.
also a third one looks just like the left one. great
Personally, I don't see a problem with either. There will always be minor variations with screens.
If you want to be really picky about things, the left one that's "better" has a blueish hue on the top 1/3rd of the screen. I'd rather take the right one, but that's the point it's all subjective.
It looks like gamma variation. IMO the right one looks better. It looks like it has deeper blacks.

2) Brightness, I've got one set low and one set high and they do the same as what yours do...

Personally seeing issues like this makes me understand why companies lock bootloaders, and try to chase away modders like most on XDA. We are the most pickiest of all cell phone uses. We create problems that don't really exist and brick more phones than anybody else.
Having two phones with two different color tint is perfectly normal it happens all the time with big screen TVs. A manufactured doesn't always use the same supplier to supply a LCD screen Hance the different color tint.
Just get on with your life enjoy the phone and stop looking at a white screen

I was in the cell phone industry for over 10 years and this is a normal variation. Literally it happens all the time you probably might not have noticed if you had not had two phones next to each other. If you had brought that back to my store we would have told you it was normal. If phone manufacturers replaced phones for minor variations they would not be. If you don't like it sell it.

Yellow tint goes away after one week of using the device. Or root it and put your own screen values.

If they did that successfully, your phone would suck bro. The "modders"as you so elegantly put it are the reason things improve. Don't believe me?

Lately I noticed that my screen has a tendency to show burn ins. They're not permanent but you'll be able to see it when you load up something with a grey background.
For my case, when I'm mostly browsing Facebook and using WhatsApp for a while, and then jump into any app with its initial load screen with a gray background, (E.g. The Camera app and the Reddit app), you'll see some of the image retention.
The severity of the image retention is more notable on the outer edges. The worst case is when the image retention is notable throughout the whole screen and the edges has a slight reddish burn to it. But as mentioned, the effect is just temporary.
I actually noticed this happening for a past few weeks but I wasn't too sure what it is until yesterday when I saw a user on subreddit r/nokia mentioning about a similar issue with mine.
I decided to test it out using a image retention tester and ran the black and white grid for 2-3 minutes. And it confirms the issue I'm having. I was able to replicate the more severe image retention with the slight reddish burn on the outer edges. Just to note, my phone is a TA-1004 that I have for 6 months.
If you want to test this issue out for yourself, here's the link:

Does anyone else here has the same issue as I do?
I too have the similar issue, probably after updating with 8.1, not sure if it's a software issue
Probably for achieving
high brightness 700 nits they haven't optimised it properly. I am using a blue tight filter app(reduced brightness) and there is no such issue, but only problem is that app keep running all the time.
Nokia please address this issue ASAP.

Try using screen filter app from play store, keep filter brightness less than or equal to 85%, hope this help.
every one having a burn in issue , download this app http://downloadapk.net/down_Pure-Noise-2-Screen-Burn-Fixer.html
and run it for an hour and the burn in is gone because our Nokia has the IPS screen not Amoled . Amoled is not fixable

This behavior is actually common for ips displays. All my previous iphones and ipads had this behavior. It's completely fine, it will go away on itself and no permanent burn will happen.

Lately I noticed that my screen has a tendency to show burn ins. They're not permanent but you'll be able to see it when you load up something with a grey background.
For my case, when I'm mostly browsing Facebook and using WhatsApp for a while, and then jump into any app with its initial load screen with a gray background, (E.g. The Camera app and the Reddit app), you'll see some of the image retention.
The severity of the image retention is more notable on the outer edges. The worst case is when the image retention is notable throughout the whole screen and the edges has a slight reddish burn to it. But as mentioned, the effect is just temporary.
I actually noticed this happening for a past few weeks but I wasn't too sure what it is until yesterday when I saw a user on subreddit r/nokia mentioning about a similar issue with mine.
I decided to test it out using a image retention tester and ran the black and white grid for 2-3 minutes. And it confirms the issue I'm having. I was able to replicate the more severe image retention with the slight reddish burn on the outer edges. Just to note, my phone is a TA-1004 that I have for 6 months.
If you want to test this issue out for yourself, here's the link:

Does anyone else here has the same issue as I do?

Yes, I can confirm that there's a severe image retention around the edges and status bar of the display, I tried running Screen Wiper for a whole night but it seems like it's permanently there. As for notification icons, it'll disappear over time. I need to get it fixed before my warranty ends...
For now I'm just trying to live with it. Doesn't bug me as much but hopefully it's not permanent.
Weird that this phone has this issue. My previous phone that I had for 2 years which also has an IPS panel(Asus Zenfone 2) seems to be fine.
Last time I was bugged about screen burn ins were on my phones I had prior to my Zenfone which had AMOLED panels(Galaxy S3 and S4.) which would've been a normal issue on those type of phones.
But then I've seen that some LG phones like the G5 also had reported burn in/image retention issues similar to the ones on the Nokia 8. I wonder if it's something to do with the quality of the LCD panels or something?
Also the issue started after updating the android 8.1 ... I hope nokia will fix this in android pie... Otherwise I am thinking of getting it replaced before my warranty ends.

Did you get the screen replaced? Has the problem been solved by replacing the screen?

Haven't gone to the service center, too lazy, will inform once I've got it fixed.
have the same problem but for me its ephemeral as the image retention lasts about a couple of seconds and happens only after i close an app. at this point it doesn't bother me but i am worried it will get worse
i also started to see it after the 8.1 update
Image Retention is a common situation seen in LG Quantum Displays (LCD). Luckily, it is temporary unlike Amoled Burn-in. Even if the display is changed, there is always chance to get it again. I suggest, just use the device with it if it is not bothering you so much.

I don't understand why everyone is so surprised.
Image retention is absolutely normal in IPS panels and they are completely fixable by running one of those flashing colours videos on YouTube on fullscreen for about an hour.
Thankfully, unlike AMOLEDs, this "issue" is temporary and can be fixed extremly easily. Sending your phone to servicing will not help in any way. Give it some time and the "issue" will return anyway.

Dear i am not dragging but once you spent 530 usd upfront for brand , you should demand worth for at least 1 year my phone just passed 10 month and seeing display burning, i did all possible efforts to recover screen burning tendency but all failed. now phone is being laid in service center. this is how nokia in emerging market sold their crap hardware on name of brand.

Hey, to inform you all, mine screen just replaced in 20 days. after replacement, screen is quite brighter than the previous one. Also it's not fixed well as standard I can feel slight recession over finger print sensor and very fine traces of glue.
Good service support from Nokia care.
