Hi Guys, I have screen burn problems again with my S3, had the same issue on S2 also.
I use Sygic sat nav software 4-5 hours a day 5-6 days a week, and I now have a nice circle in the top corner of my screen where the speed limit is.
I am running an app called Screen burn-in tool which was recommended when i searched online, its been running now for about half hour but i don't think it will help at all, but its worth a try.
Does anyone know if screen burn is covered under manufacturers warranty or not?
also while running the app i can now tell that the status bar is also burnt into the screen, how very annoying after having this phone for a little over a month....:crying:

i would not think that Samsung will take it back since it is not a manufacturing defect, you could try.

Does samsung specifically state not to have static images on the screen? If so, then yes, it is not a manufacturer defect. However, if there is no mention of it, you could possibly argue that there was no forewarning of the possibility of screen burn.
Good luck, keep us updated!

Is anyone else worried about the burn in problems like the original moled had? My vibrant had it bad... Please don't tell me its not an issue with the original sgs screens, type in google and you will see a lot of complaints on this topic, and my screen is burn in galore. Just wondering if this new screen will suffer from similar problems or if samsung recognized and corrected this issue?

I have burn in on my nexus one right now. Status bar is burnt in, and the keyboard is burnt in. Yes the galaxy s2 will likely do it too.

Wow, really? I got my Desire (AMOLED) for more than a year now and I can't notice anything.
Zero burn-in after a year's heavy use of my SGS1 - just leave the no activity timeout to 5 minutes or less and you'll be fine.

I had burn in after the first month of my nexus. About all people have it, you just haven't noticed it yet.
I see two possibilities here. Some people notice it more, some people based on their usage suffer from it more. I got the N1 when it released for AT&T, dont remember when exactly that was, somewhat more than a year? I'm just now getting to where I notice some burn in but it seems slight to me, not an issue now. Dont know which way I fall in my first observation but I can say that given enough time I think that most people will notice some burn in, how much time, I dont know. I suppose the bottom line is how how much time you spend with a device and will you move on before you get to where burn in becomes an issue to you with your usage. Thats a tough question to answer.
Nine times out of ten burn in on a mobile would be from the status bar. So if you're worried just download and use Go Launcher and set the slide up gesture to hide and show it.
That's interesting people with lcd displays have burn in as well... Well my status bar is permanently there, half the icons on my desktop are also burnt in, had my vibrant since it first came out, its set to 30 sec timeout and auto bright. So do amoled displays just have it worse or is it about the same?

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
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hey everyone!
Few months ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (international, GT-i9300) and I noticed a small issue with the display/screen.
A row of semi-transparent icons appear on the screen for as long as it's ON. I don't know if anyone else experienced this issue, to help me out, but it is annoying, wherever I go, whatever I do, those icons remain on the screen, semi-transparent.
Whenever I take a screenshot and send it to my PC, the icons do not appear on the screenshot. I would love to know what this issue is and if there is a possible way to fix it.
I would upload an example how it looks but due to my low post count I am unable to add external picture links.
Use the search facility, this has been asked before.
It's the OLED showing screen burn, like tube TV's used to. There is no cure.

I notice today, it's ghosting is not that much but I can see the lte signal bars and battery icon while using the phone in landscape
I have the G5,and I have backlight bleed along with icon burn in. I called,but the only thing LG would do is fix my phone and it would take a month. I can not do that,I need my phone for work. Why can't I just get a replacement ? From what I've been reading its a fairly common defect with the G5. Any advice on how to deal with them ?

My burn-In started today, usually the status bar was Burning, In a couple of hours now it is starting to burn anything that stays a couple of minutes on screen.
Now it has Status bar along with Nav Bar and anything that stays on screen. This is starting to piss me off.
Plus it fades away if I leave the phone intact but has soon has I start using it the problem persists.
What does screen burn mean, please?

Means that after certain time of having an app open or given the situation status bar or Nav bar starts to have ghosting or clear images of something that you haved opened on your phone. You can see this images with a complete grey image if they are soft. If they are burning really bad you can see them from any dark colors that you have on your screen.

Thanks but already sold my G5 today. Got a Galaxy S7 edge
Had this phone for a year now, had screen replaced two times and ghosting still apears. Now waiting for a replacement with my carrier, as licenced service is trying to replace the screen for the third time. 8 years Htc and now this...
So after month of owning this phone (SD version), yesterday I noticed that there was green pixel on dark backround. After a while of looking at black picture with max brightness, I noticed several small red-blue-green dots all over the screen, which weren't visible on other backrounds. I have already sent it to repair centre (free screen replacement). I just wanted to ask, is it frequent problem with RN3 or I was just unlucky? Is there any side effects of replacing the screen?
I'm using this device for about 6 months now and i haven't seen even one dead pixel in my phone till now, but I haven't noticed even one dead pixel on the screen till now...
So, I guess you were unlucky and your device had this problem...

Can you check it on dark room, with dark backround and 100% brightness? Just want to make sure Also, I think I was unlucky too, I hope replacement screen is better.

I have rn3 sd version.
and I noticed 3-4 dead pixels on the screen
it cannot be seen on regular usage. hardly can be noticed when lcd test (dark screen full brightness)
I think many rn3 phones have same problem. many users just have not noticed yet.
it's common and expected, for the price you won't get the best panel, i also have 2 stuck pixels, one green and one red
Yeah I got one too and maybe 2-3 more...but not visible in normal usage.
Happened after like 5-6 months.
hmm, it seems that many are having stuck pixels, mine just had too many and it's free screen replacement anyway, so Thanks for replies guys.
I bought it from china so hope it works well long enough...its not an option to send it back

can't say, haven't tried custom roms yet. Flash stock rom to be sure it's not software related

I couldn't spot any dead pixel on my phone....
I guess I'm the lucky one then:fingers-crossed:
Some of my friends have the same device and they also don't have any dead pixels...
Well, see if your replacement panel also have the same issue...
Edit: I don't think that's a kernel bug as many users including me are on Radon and none of them reported this issue...
I have a unusual red fingerprint that barely visible on the bottom part of my screen.
You can only see it on still black screens and you will have to look carefully to see it.
It is a comment problem to LCD screen my all phones have dead pixel except Redmi note 3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats not kernel related (I haven't flashed any custom kernels anyway). I hope replacement screen will be good.
I had a orizontal green line at bottom only on miui.
On aosp doesnt exist.
My phone has several blue and green patch, when I purchased never noticed it till 1 month. After that I got screen replacement when I visited service center, Now my phone creeks.. If grabbed hard its back panel creeks.
I don't blame, Its a cheap company and cheap phone. But performance is good.

Creaking is actually common on RN3. Althought mine didn't (well, I was using a silicon case) and I don't think screen replacement did that, unless service center did a bad job at it.

Actually back panel is rubber glued. (The speaker and upper panel) I think when they open up phone, for screen, they removed rubber glue, so now it creeks against plastic..
