I have flashed CM7 on my NC and after using it for a few days I have noticed a very thin (like 1 pixel thick) yellow line that runs across the screen on my NC.
The line is right at the bottom of where the status bar is (about 5mm from the top of the screen), when the nook is held in portrait. I did not notice it until I was playing some games in landscape mode.
The line does not show up if there is anything that is black in color over it (so it was covered by the status bar).
Anyone else had or seen this problem? It seems to be a bit different then others that have had dead pixels on the screens.
I'm planning to flash it back to stock tomorrow and exchange it for a new one, since I've only had it for 2 weeks.

Has anyone experienced a shift in color on their screen? It started with a small spot about the size of a dime (Middle left side) that really shows up on a white or light screen. It has now streaked up about 2". This was not present during the first few weeks of owning the device. I will post pictures later.
This has also appeared on a friends nook (Same spot and position). Not as pronounced as mine but his is still pretty new.
I've recently removed the soft buttons in favour of LMT and now can see some blue burn in along the bottom edge where the buttons used to be, visible on a white or grey screen.
Anyone else got this?
Same issue on my phone... Using lmt and hiding softkeys. If i look at a white screen i find a light pink stain on the lower left corner... Hmm... On k9 the up and down button are grey. If i compare both i can clearly notice a difference in shade... But, It aint a crt... So nothing burned in... Its just a production tolerance, i think. Like a pixel error on lcd. Hadnt you root the phone and hide the keys maybe the failure would never have occurred to you. I think i will observe it and give another feedback later.
I'm randomly getting a split screen, half of the screen turns upside down, half stays right side up. Screenshots do not show it however. I have to turn off the screen for it to go away. Happens periodically after several minutes of use. Any thoughts?
looks a bit like a slot machine yes? I have a vertical split where the the image is not flipped, but it does scroll up/wrap around the screen so that the notification bar is somewhere in the bottom half of the screen and the bottom of the image is wrapped around to the top.
I only really get it on custom kernels, I reported it to the maker of Elite and he said from what he has heard its a hardware issue and the only fix would be to RMA. Haven't done that yet as it fairly occasional, but plan to soonish.
kinda sucky how we are getting screen issues on this phone, i also have a screen issue with vertical gradient line appearing on some material themes.
sadly i cant RMA it. if i could i would have, i have ordered it all the way from the Middle east. :/ i will stick to the phone for a while longer as i love it.. and hoping that the line somehow dissappears by its own.
Hey all,
A few days ago, I bought a secondhand nexus 6. I've noticed some burn in (navbar) and I tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.amoledburninfix. The last 2 days I've let it run around 2 hours in total. It looks like it does help wear the pixels evenly. But I've also noticed, this evening, that if I do the test mode (gray screen) right after the "fix mode", the navbar ghost is almost gone. But if I run the test mode after normal usage (so when I don't use the "fix mode" for a while" I see more navbar ghosting. So what can explain the difference? Is the navbar ghosting that I see on a grey background image retention? Does it mean that the screen isn't that much affected with burn in because I don't see the navbar after using the "fix mode" (invert colors)?
Also, when I use the grey screen mode, it looks like I see the "ghost" of the clock in the right upper corner. The thing is, I can see the hour and minutes that where shown on the screen last minutes before testing with the grey screen. Does that confirm that this is image retention?
I'd like to hear your thoughts

I don't quite understand this issue as well. I bought my Nexus 6 brand new. I have not had it for quite a full month yet. I am already seeing "burn in" / "image retention" / "ghosting" from the Nav bar mainly but the status bar as well. I can only notice it in the "Amoled Burn-in Fixer" app when on the test burn in grey screen. I can not notice it anywhere else. Every once in a while I will turn off adaptive brightness, max out brightness, and run the "fix" for about 15 minutes. It literally disappears / fixes it. However, a few days later, it comes back. This is why I just run it once a week or so. I feel it will help even pixel wear, and it appears to be working overall.
This seems to be a VERY common problem on the Nexus 6. Remember, Samsung is the only manufacturer of AMOLED displays. I am assuming that their quality control department has different grading for their panels. Highest they keep for themselves, second they sell, third they throw out? Also, I have heard that burn in is much less common on the Samsung S series and Notes which also feature AMOLED displays. This is due to Samsung featuring a home button and capacitive buttons on each side of the home button. (no nav bar) Also their status bar is usually transparent. It seems to me that Samsung is well aware that AMOLED panels are subject to burn in / image retention and they kind of stay a step ahead of it by having buttons rather than a nav bar and the transparent status bar. Also if I remember right, their status bar symbols and numbers are a light blue rather than white, which is the color that is the hardest on AMOLED displays.

Try using the app to "fix" the burn in and check it directly after in the test mode. Then just use your phone for a few min and test it again. Do you also see the difference after a few minutes already? This must be image retention, right? So does that mean that the screen it's "normal state" is right after the "fix mode"? And the ghosting you see after a few minutes is just image retention?
Hello all and thanks for reading,
Just purchased A tab s2 and loving it except for the screen (1 of the prime reasons for buying). I like to use a black background to help with battery power when I noticed that on three edges there seems to be what I initially describe as back light bleed or what Looks similar to back light bleed. 1 horizontal edge is fine.
What I'm seeing is lighter edges on the notification bar area (some edges are worse than others). As I rotate the s2 the issue changes but its always where the notification bar is and most prominent at the edges. I can only describe it as grey banding that stretches across the screen and drops about a centimetre from the top.
I went to a local Samsung repair shop and they said it was like "screen burn in, like someone used it for satnav for a three hour drive". Now that comment concerns me because now I'm thinking l'll just return it and get my money back. It's literally 3 days old.
Anyone else with this issue?
Thanks.
Return it for an exchange. OLED's don't need a backlight since the pixels themselves light up.
