After i use any app for a long period of time the image gets burnt into the screen like the old plasma monitors.
Is this normal or do i have a faulty tablet?
Thx
Happens to me too. Only happens after a good while and it tends to fade after a couple minutes though.

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...
Running the newest UnNamed and I'm trying to find a way to keep the screen on while charging from USB. The point is to keep the screen on while driving. At night I charge with AC power so that's not an issue.
I found posts saying there was a burn in problem with SMOLED screens being on with a static image for more than a couple minutes at a time. I haven't seen it personally but if anyone has first hand experience with this phone or the international model, please speak up before I damage my phone.
Otherwise, once again, it looks like I need Tasker for the job. Have it detect bluetooth connection for the car and upon usb power trigger car mode and keep the screen on at ~50% brightness. something like that.
With unnamed go to Settings>Applications>Development and click Stay Awake.
Try this first,
Menu->settings->Applications ->Development -> Stay awak
If not working , try this
Menu->settings->Display->Screen Timeout ->Never
Now I've never seen permanent burn in on my SGSII or Nexus One (even while on constantly during a 10h drive to Vegas). I was using a stop watch app on my Nexus One, and while only on for 5 minutes or so, I did see it burn in, but it went away after a few minutes of being off (boy was I scared when I first saw it though).
Now, I have personally seen permanent burn-in on a Vibrant (not mine).
Funny thing is the screen timeout is set to like 5 seconds on it, so it's barely on. Yet I can clearly see the clock is burned into the screen.
Have you tried running a car app to hold a screen lock? I know Google Maps can do that. Plus it doesn't require going into settings (at least more than once).
EDIT: As a simple observation, the burn-in seems worse when it's white on a black background.
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.
So recently I've been using snap chat a bit often and I noticed after maybe 10 minutes of in and out on the app when I went to my home screen there was a screen burn in of my keyboard and the general GUI. Now I fixed it using an app that flashes colors to correct the issue, but still the screen burn in keeps coming back often and its noticeable.
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with this. Sure I've heard of TV's with a static image for over a long duration having screen burn in, but 10 minutes on an app while brightness is at 0. Seems kinda ridiculous

I have run into these issues several times. They seem to be related, but I can't say for sure.
Every now and then while I'm actively using the phone, 1/2 the screen will go away and the phone will be unresponsive. If I shut off the screen, then turn it back on, it usually clears up. Sometimes the screen won't come back on. It stays off no matter what buttons I press. So I put it on the charger, that triggers the screen turning on and everything is back to normal (the battery is always over 50% or more at this point). Yesterday this got to a point of happening several times in 1/2 hour, so I ended up rebooting to see if it would clear it up. This issue did not come back since then.
On a similar note, I was playing a game this morning in a dark room with the brightness turned all the way down. I was being very active in interacting with the screen. Every now and then the screen would go black, except for the notification bar. I could still see that (time and statuses of things running). The screen would not respond to any touches, so I would shut the screen off and turn it back on and all would be good. This happened 2-3 times over a 45 min period. I play this game quite often, but not usually in the dark and often not as actively as I was doing. My resolution is set in the middle (FHQ+ I think it's called).
Has anyone else run into anything like this?
This S9+ snapdragon through Verizon just seems to be plagued with so many minor issues. I've never had a new phone with this many problems.

As a followup, I think I have found the problem. It seems to be with a product called Game Tuner. It can black out the screen while leaving the app running in the background. I think it is buggy. Doesn't seem to be a way to shut it off though.

I was able to uninstall, then install an older version of Game Tuner and the problem that was easiest to reproduce was fixed. Hopefully this will prevent the weird 1/2 screen thing as well.
