Hi all,
I've had my gTab since May, and have been loving it.
I just flashed to Flashback HC last night, and it too is awesome.
However, this morning I was messing around with playing video and suddenly a full horizontal row of pixels went cyan and is stuck.
I thought maybe it was a software glitch, so I did a hard reboot. It's still there.
When I first turn on the screen, the row of pixels is red, then quickly fades to cyan.
It's not super noticeable on the home screen, since my wallpaper is blue, but on any screen with a light background it looks terrible!
Is there anything I can do or am I stuck with a warranty return?
I had been thinking of trying to replace the screen with a better LCD, but that discussion seems to have fizzled, so I don't think it's an option right now.
Any suggestions appreciated,

I have noticed some horizontal lines running through the screen on my S2 when light images are displayed. (Also shows on green test screen quite clearly)
They are light bands about 1mm wide and running across my screen at various points.
There is also slight burn in of my status bar, you can see battery and clock if you look hard.
Just wondering if this is a normal occurrence and something to put up with or if it's worth me getting it replaced under warranty.
If I return it and then in 4 months time the same happens it's pointless. Also I would hate to return the phone for screen replacement and then get another screen with maybe a dead pixel or something.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thank you
can no one help......?

Send it to repair centre, it's definitely a faulty unit.
Your repaired/replaced phone will not have repeated issues.
My phone is a year already, and everything is still prefect

Hello.
Today i noticed that my main screen has a burn in.
I used AMOLED Burn in fix and i can see the message bar from whatsapp and also the bottom screen buttons etc.
Anyone else had this problems?
Considering the v10 uses LCD, not OLED or AMOLED....no

But why can I see whatsapp text entry bar thing on the grey background. And also the home/back buttons etc
LCD does not burn in. I don't know what you could be seeing, but it seems very highly unlikely.

I've had this problem for a few days about 2 weeks ago, I could still see AT&T in the top corner. It did look like it was burned in but I knew it wasn't since it's LCD so I didn't worry about it too much. It randomly fixed itself. I wonder what caused it.
I have the same exact problem. And it heals itself but 5 mins of whatsapp use and there it is again. It is so annoying. I m thinking of returning it!
I would suggest to get rid of what's app. That seems to be the common cause for the majority here. Could be what's app is bad app to run on V10
If you dont call this a screen burn then what is it:

This won't be too helpful since I can't remember for sure what I was looking at when it happened but...
Earlier today I noticed that my keyboard was showing "in the background" of an app as though it was burned in.
It was definitely strange looking.
I think it was the weather channel app (which had no need for a keyboard popup) yet it almost looked like the app was transparent with the keyboard behind it.
It's definitely not doing it now but it was really weird looking!

Guys please relax that's just image retention as far as LCDs are the topic. Unless if you stay at the same thing for like 5 hours (this [might] cause a permanent retention i guess).
the only thing that is prone to burn ins are OLED screens. And burn ins are permanent... because they are a burn.
LCDs only retain images because the crystals in their display tends to stay at the same position they are in after a long period of use but this doesn't actually produce damage and doesn't stay permanently. Once the display changes (either turned off or a different thing is displayed) they would eventually return to their normal state and work just fine.
Interesting. I wasn't really "unrelaxed" though... Just never saw it before so I figured I'd share my experience.

I just noticed a burn-in, or some kind of image retention. I accidentally left my phone on all night while sleeping and the next morning there was a burn in on the top of the screen. It's only noticible when I pull down the notification bar because it's gray. I can only see it in the gray. The whole status bar is burned-in. It has been gradually dissipating. I also noticed a little bit of this when I used Waze for a long road trip a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't as severe of a burn in. At least it is disappearing slowly.

Same happened to me today. Slept through an amber alert that caused my screen to stay on. When i woke up my phone was off and hot to the touch. Switched batteries and noticed after powering on the amber alert was still faintly visible in the backgound. After about 10 minutes of screen use it gradually faded away.

Apparently officially termed "image persistence". Your post recreates a lot of the language from that article. Yeah, LCDs don't burn-in so this topic seemed rather odd to me. What could start showing up is the "dynamic contrast" done with LED backlights to LCDs burning-in; the fact that I've never heard any reports may mean it is uncommon, but I'm cringing at it happening in the future.

Or image retention. It does go away though. Maybe a bad batch too? I drive from Ohio to Orlando, FL with Google maps on the entire time and bendy had a retention issue. All the ones with the issue also said the screen was hot. Corks that be a factor?

I have had my V10 since December (from T-Mobile). Initially no problems to report, but the image retention issue has become progressively worse (as I type this, the image of this site is being temporarily "burned in"). my father also got a V10 the same day, but does not report this issue. User activity may be leading to a faster declining lifespan of phone, but both phones have had a drastic increase in overheating since receiving the Marshmallow update, which may also be playing a role in the even greater amounts of image retention (a single game of candy crush leaves a residual image).
I'm 19, so like most millennials, I use my phone constantly which is possibly why I have this issue, but it is unfortunate to think there's a chance my phone is slowly dying from general use.
same issue with my v10 (bought a month back)
i think my culprit is Deer hunter 2016...as its the only game i play& only notice it more once i have played it.. i have also seen that if i keep my phone off during the night.. it usually goes away.. while if my phone is ON (standyby) during the night.. it stays. i didnt turned my phone off for the past 2 nights & the burn is pretty much there as you can see. my phone is an ATT v10 h900 on lollypop.. any suggestion will be appreciated.
So I've bought this used Oneplus X ( Age unknown ) and it has burn-in on the status bar. I only just noticed this after re-flashing the phone where the white theme was as default. A ton of Facebook notifications, different battery and reception is burned in. I'm wondering, is it the "Always on" feature that contributed to this, or is it just general use?
I got this phone for 100 euros, switching over from a Oneplus One with rampant 3G issues, when switching to the black theme it isn't noticeable luckily so there's that!

1. Why did you get a used Oneplus X at 100 euros , where you could have bought other new phone.?
2. Always on display shows the date, time and notification.... Even when the screens off.( So I don't think it's that.)
3. Burn in rarely happens on an AMOLED and if it has happened, you need to replace the screen.
Hope I answered your question.:laugh:
It can happen from general use. On my phone it's quite noticeable.
I've got a bit of burn in on mine, from the notification bar, but I can only ever see it if I'm looking for it AND have the brightness down all the way AND have the area around where the notification is a grey colour. At that point, I can start clearly making out icons, but otherwise general use has not left any marks. I could probably even make it a bit better by switching my notification bar icons to black and using that for a long while, but I don't really care enough since it's so minor.
So I know this is a pretty common issue with this phone, but all was good for me until I was playing roblox with my daughter for an extended period and the phone got slightly hot. Now every time the phone gets even slightly warm the corners and notch, as well as anything on the screen, will repeat down the screen several times in a weird purple colour and the left edge has a green tint. I'm assuming this is a hardware fault and judging from the forums it is getting worse by the day (more users experiencing it). I tried contacting motorola but they are not getting back to me. Has anyone on here had this happen and if so how did you get it fixed/contact motorola?
Same here, it was good for a couple of weeks. A few nights ago I observed a green cast when adaptive brightness was on and the brightness was set to low. Today the purple artifacts appeared. now they are gone again.
I read that motorola has been trying to fix this with software and is stating that this is not a hardware issue.
disappointing though.
