When using reddita, I noticed as I left links some of her interface of reddita stayed uvisible very lightly.
Also it seems like the digitizer takes a harder touch than I'm used to. Anyone else?

I've noticed this temporarily on my first prime. When changing orientation I noticed that the home,back and menu buttons would "ghost.". It wasn't very visible and seemed to go away after doing a reset, but did happen nontheless.
I will check again when I get my replacement.

Thanks, let me know. I've got no idea whats going on. my first prime didn't do it.
It is a screen burn in. It will be more noticable in the future and on specific backgrounds. Very common for various monitor displays. But yes, it makes it seem 'used' in the future.
A burn-in? I thought that was only with plasma screens.
None of my +10 LCD monitors have had this happen,
so im not so sure about that.
I don't think it's burn in, because it's an LCD display. However, something similar to this happened on my pos Westinghouse LCD TV sometime ago. It would retain/ghost images of tv station logos and "no signal" box that appears when there's no inut signal. The consensus on AVS forums was that it's software issue with the LCD controller. May be something similar with the Prime.
You absolutely can get a burned image on an LCD. Go to almost any retail store and look at there displays. It takes longer but it can happen. With that said, I domt think that that's what's happenning here. Is your unit cold to the touch? What temperature was it when it occurred? It is common for LCD to act this way in cold temperatures and Even in high altitudes.

Learn something new every day As for the temperature, I'm guessing low to mid 70s room temp.

There's no way it's a screen burn in when I have less than one hour of screen on time. That would be ridiculous.
It goes away eventually as well.
Got this on my Prime as well. Sometimes soft keys or widgets are ghosting and still visible after starting an app. But I am experiencing also other screen issues (glue visible right and left) and I am returning the Prime...

Ok, so aside from a few barely noticeable dead pixels, my TF Prime is fine.
But 3-4 times I've had this weird issue... the TF will all of a sudden start freaking out, flipping screens back and forth, tapping on app icons, keyboard keys, etc. It's as if a ghost has taken over my Prime, lol... what the??
Just happens at random, doesn't seem to be a particular app or action that's setting it off. Has happened while using the stock browser, Evernote, and typing an email.
Anyone else seeing this? Some kind of software glitch, or do you think I got a dodgy touchscreen?
By any chance, do you have the keyboard dock attached? On a few occasions, I've had the palm of my hand kind of resting on the mouse pad and that will set it off - not a tablet flaw, it's just my hand in the wrong place. Without the dock, I've managed to accomplish the same "flaw" by resting my thumb too close to the screen. With a sensitive capacitive screen, you just need to be really close to the screen to set it off. If not, then you have a real problem.
Bye.
No, I'm not lucky enough to own the dock yet, got one on pre-order, lol.
It's not just one tap or two, I mean the thing just flips out, scrolling home screens back and forth, typing automatically on the keyboard, etc., like it's possessed or something... on auto-pilot. It will go on indefinitely, and the screen will become unresponsive to my own taps. The only way to stop it is by doing a hard reboot by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Now that I think about it, probably a touchscreen hardware issue... seems like it's "holding" the tap on, not releasing the tap off when it happens. I guess I'm gonna return it next week, ugh.
I qwas having this problem also but it started happening after i put on a skinomi screen protector. People thought i got water in tablet but maybee that wasnt the problem. If your having same problem.

I've had that happen many times on my Nook Color. Drives me nuts. Certain games trigger it for me. Or sometimes it seems to be caused by my hand touching the screen or more than 2 points ( which is all my NC can handle )
Found that if I turn the device to sleep mode and wipe screen good, it usually fixes the issue. Either that or sometimes I have to reboot and it is normal again.
Glad I'm not the only one with a possessed tablet.
My nook tablet was opening apps like Facebook and google search and typing unusual letters in the search and status boxes. Anyone seen anything like this? It honestly seemed like the device was being controlled remotely. I wasn't even touching the device and it was trying to type letters. My device has been rooted for about two weeks. I've not seen anything like this until tonight.
What was your battery charge? There are reports of the touchscreen acting weird when the battery is low.
yea, sounds more like a glitch in the touch screen. this happened on my phone. I would warranty it. Make sure you unroot first
It sounds like a defective unit... I have a Droid X that does the same thing; started happening about a month or two out of warranty. I've factory reset / SBF'd it a million times and it still happens, rooted or not.
For me, it seems to happen more frequently when the screen is dirty (but also happens when perfectly clean), and especially bad if I am wearing clothing that generates static electricity (fleece and other synthetics). Makes me wonder if the screen isn't grounded properly.. the phone has a lot more flex in the chasis than it should and sometimes flexing it in just the right way will make the problem stop.
Thanks
Thanks much for the replies. The battery was very low and I was sitting in a chair that could generate static electricity. Also noticed little bits of dog hair caught between the case and the screen. Not sure I'm going to return the unit just yet. It could have been a fluke. The only time I've seen a machine act like that is when someone controls a server at work remotely. It was really strange and seemed like a program was attempting to type on its own.
One other caveat is that I had installed Aurora on the tablet earlier in the night. It's a browser by Mozilla in development. It was running really sweet so I don't think that had anything to do with it. I did notice that the tablet was locking up on a couple pages and really sluggish for a bit while using the default browser. It then responded fine until the ghost took over.
One other question if anyone is still listening: if this happened to you did the keyboard come up? It didn't appear when the letters were being typed in my case.
I was thinking a cover and possibly a shield may be in order. I've got a year, so it if happens again even one time I'm going to return the unit- after unrooting of course.
My Nook Color will do this as well when it has been zapped by static electricity and when there are a bunch of finger prints all over the screen (usually when the finger oil gets built up around the edges of the screen it starts).
A good wipe down with a microfiber cloth (with the screen off) fixes it for me. Granted this is Nook Color and not my Nook Touch we're talking about, but I figure the behavior could be similar.
Good luck!

Weird, I could swear there was a thread about this, but now I can't find it for the life of me.
Anyway, it's a known issue- no need to panic and return the NT.
When the battery gets critically low, sometimes the NT will seem to have a mind of it's own and everything you describe starts happening. Apps open themselves, random text types itself, touchscreen completely unresponsive, etc.
I've seen exactly the same thing, and also at first wondered if it was a remote hack. Then I noticed the pattern that it's only during extreme power lows.
Just recharge to at least a minimal level and there's no problem.

Same thing happens to me but I only switch the screen off and on and then it goes away.
As has been mentioned, charge it, clean the screen, wash your hands. This should take care of the "autogibberish". As far as opening software... do you mean that it is opening foreground applications? Or that software will just load in the background? If the latter, this is NORMAL behavior of Android -- it will load software into memory so that it is instantly available when you try to run the software. If the former, probably related to the dirty screen.
I do NOT believe that this is a hardware defect. It rather is a side-effect of a LARGE touch surface. The bigger the touch surface, the more likely it is to be subject to random static charges.
Whoops didn't realize how this thread was!
This is most noticeable for me after I use Chrome. I was just using it for about 20 minutes and then went to the home screen, and I could see the URL on the home screen at about 30% opacity. I rotated my screen and even took a picture to double check that it is an actual burn in and not just the app being weird, and it doesn't rotate with my tablet or show up in the screenshot so it is most definitely a burn in.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have had no issue with screen burn in. I've had my Prime for a month, using it for a few hours every day.
Sorry to hear of your issue.
This happens to me all the time. It is especially noticeable when I am using the Asus weather widget since it has large white text.
Does it eventually disappear? I imagine it would have to, because otherwise your screen would become unusable.
If it DOES disappear, what causes it to do so? Reboots? Time? Something else?

If it's anything like plasma (but it isn't is it? what would cause burn on this kind of screen?) then time and flashing the screen with solid white will usually dispel the ghost images. New plasma TV's even constantly rotate your pixels (in such small increments you can't notice) around to avoid this kind of thing.
Yup, burn in on my transformer prime too. I use the Air Display app to turn it into a second monitor on my computer at work. After eight hours of windows in one place, I can still see where they were four hours afterwards. No bueno.
Well, the only problem that I can't live with on my prime is a very weird glitch on the screen. I've noticed this in the Repligo reader app and I am not sure if it happens only in that app. The screen flickers in a noisy fashion. I don't mean that the brightness varies but what I mean is part of the screen momentarily appears like a kind of static signal that you may observe on an old TV (dunno if new TVs do it too).. sometimes the glitch looks a bit different. let me add that this happens rarely... like today :/
Anyone else ever encounter this?

try a soft reset to see if it clears it. put paper clip in hole underneath micro SD card slot. or it could just be a compatibility issue with app itself. do you have force gpu rendering enabled? if so, this is known to cause some graphical issues with certain older apps or whatever. if its enabled, turn it off. it should be off by default. to check, go into Asus settings. then developer options. scroll down and look at force gpu rendering to see.

No, it is off. I checked it immediately once I had the problem. It is a weird bug and happens very rarely. And since it is rare, I dunno if it is problem with that app or it is a coincidence when I am running it. Seems like there is no way to reproduce it consistently to check out the cause. Oh well, at least it is rare.
mine also does this. except not in any particular app, just randomly.
Did it in the camera yesterday, it did it on the home screen 4 days ago when i got it. i am going to take it back next time it does it i think. but am guessing i will need to show them what it is doing.
I had this problem last night, I think its time my BCKOKAS goes home for a cleanup.
Can you guys do a little test?
Steps to reproduce:
1. take the tablet out of the dock (if you have one), turn the screen on.
2. hold it in landscape with your left hand
3. draw an imaginary line between the little arrow guide on the bezel and the clock on the status bar
3. find a point somewhere around half way on that line
4. squeeze the tablet at that particular point using your thumb (on the bezel) and the index finger (on the aluminum back, exactly underneath the thumb)
Please tell me whether you get static on the screen. I have it happening on mine (I have the champagne, CO1 version). One of my friends with a CO2 doesn't have this however, and I'm curious whether this is a widespread issue with CO1, or mine has a bit of a problem. On a side note, it doesn't really bother me, I have it happening very rarely, only when I squeeze it that way or sometimes when I use my right hand on the back next to the right edge to tilt the screen towards me.
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

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:

Grey background to show effect
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.
