Does anyone notice faded icons on the status bar to the left? Primarily the email and text message notifications (that are more frequently seen in my case). When I don't have a text msg or unread email I can still see it, its faded. Reminds me of the older plasma screen tv's where you get a "burn- in" as you'd say.
Does not seem promising for a phone I've had for 5 months now
Anyone else notice this? The symbol stays, it does not go away.

OMG yes! I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I have always used black status bars since then though so its a non-issue now.
I have not noticed this, yet, thankfully.

I had the EXACT same problem with the Galaxy Nexus phone and it ends up it was a bad LCD. Had to have it replaced.
Not here. Had my phone 4 months now.
Ya I have noticed it. I've had this phone for a few weeks now and seen it the other day. It left a shadow of the update icons from the play store. They went away after the screen was off for awhile.

Have had my phone for about 2 months now and haven't notice anything of that sort. Hopefully it stays that way.
I get it too. I have a feeling that's why the screen tries to limit itself to 63%

I also have this. Have had my phone since mid-December.
At least it isn't me... too bad it is me and others though.
I first noticed a problem when I could see my status bar in TWRP...
Like said above, they go away, I just hope it doesn't get worse (would this be covered by LG? Because I have no insurance or anything else).
Its not screen burn in. Mine does it every once in a while. Its a software glitch. It goes away.

This sounds similar to what happens on the original Kindle Fire with its IPS screen (don't know if current models do it too). You could sometimes see ghost images in dark areas of the screen. It was not really burn-in, though it did tend to appear when you had a bright static image for a while, because it would go away. One thing of note was that the phenomenon varied a lot between units. I could occasionally see it lightly on mine, not enough to be significant, but for some people it was a bigger deal (Amazon replaced them under warranty).

I find it a little difficult to believe that it is software when I've seen it in TWRP too (saw my status bar in TWRP).
If it was software would it carry over to recovery?

Same here guys I get the same thing it can't be a defect if we all have it and I unlocked my bootloader after this happened so its not that I think its over use of the screen or a software glitch also when I look at a greyish area of the screen I see a line in the left side weird I also have a battery skippin isue as well
SOLVED!
I found a fix for the black line! I had the same thing and last night for half an hour I used the burn in tool off the market and forgot I had in usb debugging screen never time out so whenever I got a text the screen would be on for hours but anyways after useing the tool I let it sit over night for about 9 hours and boom! Its back to normal as for the status bar that just a software bug because there was nothing about it in the older ota update so it must be a bug right?
I don't get anything like what you guys are describing, but I do get a white ish fog surrounding my screen. It kind of comes and goes, but sometimes it gets really hard to see darker things in the screen.

I come from an amoled so I notice certain things involving color reproduction. The only experience I have ever had with an LCD other then this phone was an iPhone 4. After a while I noticed colors started looking cooler and a fog around the edges of my LCD. The other thing is sometimes the black status bar has white steaks (as if the light was bleeding thru.) I came to the conclusion that lcd were crappy compared to amoled but I ignored the fog till I read your comment I was thinking maybe I am picky with the color but no. There is an issue.

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.

The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
So far after owning the phone for 3 days I've noticed several problems with my Note and may go ahead and return it for a new one. First my stylus seems to to thinks its pressed down when it's not but only towards the bottom of my screen where the "space" and "." key are on the Samsung keyboard. Secondly I've noticed a dark splotch and some dots towards the top of my screen thats only visable on grey to black colors and is really only visable at night. Lastly ive beeb unable to get my USB host to work, though its possible its just the cable (from/for my old Nokia N810). Anyways have any of you guys experienced these problems or other problems and is it worth returning in my case? Thanks.
Yes!!!! Mine does that too around the space and period key. Have you oc'd? I think that is my issue. I returned my phone and got a brand new one but it still had the same issue but only after that. And only after charging.

Is a no brainer that if you have anything but a beautiful screen you should return it, the screen in this phone is amazing so if you notice anything like you say I would definitely return and get it replaced for a new one.

I also have the dark spots. If i go into google and type in black screen and make it full screen and go under a blanket in pitch black there are spots on the screen that look like large individual pixels that are more black than the rest kf the screen. Theres probably like 28 tiny squares that so this.
Cant see them on any other color though. And cant sse them them at day when on a black screen.

Yeah really the screen spots arent a HUGE issue for me its the stylus, the fact it only does it in that one spot leads me to believe its a digitizer issur rather than just the stylus, though it doesnt do it with my ThinkPad tablet PC's Wacom pen...

Well guys I took my Note to the AT&T store and showed them the problem with the stylus, both display models did it and the Note one of the AT&T employees owned did the same thing, they gave me another Note but it did it worse! so I got them to give me back my original Note. What do you think? mass defect? does anyone elses do this?
I just recently bought a refurb S2 from ATT as an upgrade. I also just read up on how these screens quickly burn out and leave imprints from static images. So for you guys that have had this phone since launch, how bad is it? Is it even noticeable?
I saw this video and it looks pretty terrible : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdbTuMamqSA
Wow that's bad! Best way to protect yourself is to get a screenprotector...
Honestly, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Burn in is about the same on most display panels. You would have to leave you screen on permanently for extended periods of time to experience anything like what the host of that video is talking about. This is the first I've even heard of it and I've had the same gs2 since launch.

Don't fret it man, I've had my captivate since launch day and have yet to experience any screen burn it.

Mine has some slight burn in in the status bar, nothing really major but it's noticeable on all blue or light gray backgrounds and low brightness.
At first it drove me crazy but you kinda get used to it and I now don't mind it.
By the way, the i9100 forum has more topics on this if you want a reference.
i got my refurb from AT&T a little over a week and a half ago and my screen is pretty bad in low light conditions. i dunno if its screen burn in but there are noticeable blotches on the screen when dark images are shown. luckily you cant really see it during normal conditions.
The only devices I've ever seen with burn-in are store display units - which are kept with the screen on nearly all the time displaying the same damn thing.

The SG2 is especially bad about this since they usually don't play any "demo" on that model in the stores, the phone is kept on the home screen all hours of the day and night, or at least that's what the AT&T reps told me

Same here, got it release day and have had no problems. I usually keep auto brightness on but towards the dim side. Screen is plenty bright anyways.
I can vouch for amoled screens getting some burn in if you're not careful. My nexus one has a permanent mail box burned in from a text message reminder app that I used to use that would keep the screen awake with that static image. I'm sure all screens will do this though and I'm just more careful with this phone

The ICS launchers have caused burn in on my screen because of the app drawer launcher. You don't notice it unless you are on low light levels with a grey image though.

From my experience with screen starting with the Treos to HTC to Asus that this is hardware and not software. Sometimes screen manufacturer will use a different top panel if supply is short.
However there is an app called "Screen Adjuster" that will allow you to change RGB as well as contrast. I used this temporarily on my Asus Prime (home screen transition) til I finally got a Prime with a whiter less yellower screen. It may slow your phone down however as it slowed my Prime just a tad. The contrast is what'll slow it down by a lot so try not to use it.
I forget though but you may need to be rooted to use it.

I know this thread is old, but I figured it'd be better to bring it back up than to create a new thread about the same thing. I got my EVO one week ago and have noticed that I have this yellow tint on my display as well. From reading through other forums for various phones (iPhone, One X, etc.), many people say that this is due to an adhesive that hasn't fully cured and should go away with time. On my phone, the tint is the most pronounced towards the bottom of the phone. I'm not sure if it really will go away with time or not, and my 14 days will be up soon.
My main question is that for others who have noticed this yellow tint on their phones, has it really gone away over time? Or is it still there?
The strange thing I have noticed is that it is not my ENTIRE screen that seems to be warmer/yellow-tinted. The very very edges of the LCD on all four sides appear to be free of this yellow tint. For example, when I open the Settings menu, I can make out a slight warm/yellowish rectangle covering all of the LCD except for the very edges which appear to be pure white. I'm not sure what to do with my phone as far as whether I should keep it or try to get it replaced in hopes of getting one without this yellow tint.

Mine has had the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen since launch. It has not gone away.
I forgot to mention that even when using Screen Adjuster and boosting the blues or even the reds or greens just to experiment, the yellow is still visible. This leads me to believe that it is not an issue with the LCD but rather with something that is on top of the LCD.
Yah... It's not going to go away. But if you're like me, you will eventually stop noticing it. Had mine for two months and the tint at the bottom right is still there but I honestly had forgotten about it till I saw this post.

I received my new htc evo v 4g few days back, and unfortunately, I also have yellow tainted screen. I also have galaxy s2 and this is huge change for me.
Galaxy s2 is on white and bluish side. and this htc evo v is predominantly yellow. If i open google on both the background, supposed to be white, is strongly yellowish in htc. Also, if i use the app screen adjuster, i am able to fix it !
Now am at the fix shall I continue with it or go for a change. The problem is that replacement is huge hassle with virgin mobile. PLUS you have to pay shipping by urself as well.
What you guys did? getting used to yellow or replacement?

I've noticed that HTC apparently uses two or more manufacturers for the screen on this phone.
My friend recently bought the same phone, and I remember noticing that his screen looked great, but I figured it was just me being silly.
Today I put them side by side and we were wowed by the difference in quality. His blacks are much deeper and mine seems to have a slight gray sheen over it. Don't want to seem spoiled, but it was a big enough difference for me to want a new device..and on top of that mine drops 3g frequently, but not a problem from his....

Haven't noticed that with my phones. My wife and I each got a launch day Evo, they looked the same. I had to replace mine due to a hardware problem a couple weeks ago and the screen looks exactly the same. You have the same 003 hardware version as everyone else has?

Chances are when you buy two of the same phones at the same time, you will get the same screen type/manufacturer/quality on both phones.
I bought two evo 4g lte phones at different times and the screens are some what different. Both are 003 hardware revisions.
I know on the Original EVO you could boot into the Boot loader and you could figure out what screen you had, however, I just looked and I couldn't tell. Maybe I just don't know what to look for. This was an issue with Original EVO as the demand grew greater HTC had to use a 2nd company for the Screens to keep up.

If you are rooted, go into Terminal, type su, then dmesg. E-mail that to yourself and search for [DISP]. You'll get a bunch of results, but just sift through. This is what i found out about my evo
[DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2
Ive got
[DISP] jet_lcd_off: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2
one says off and one says on, but I have this:
[DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_AUO_NT_C3_1
my display has some light bleed and flickering sometimes, but looks good still.

I've noticed that HTC apparently uses two or more manufacturers for the screen on this phone.
My friend recently bought the same phone, and I remember noticing that his screen looked great, but I figured it was just me being silly.
Today I put them side by side and we were wowed by the difference in quality. His blacks are much deeper and mine seems to have a slight gray sheen over it. Don't want to seem spoiled, but it was a big enough difference for me to want a new device..and on top of that mine drops 3g frequently, but not a problem from his....

Have you tried doing a system update to fix your 3g drops. I was having that problem and it went away with the update

Sony here..
[DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2
Ok, so its Sony and Auo. One of these screens has deeper blacks than the other. I will check mine to see what it is

Edit: I have Sony..so I suppose that the Auo is the one with the better blacks. I'll root ny friends phone later to confirn
Mine is AUO and the blacks look perfect to me. Although when the screen is gray or w/e it flickers a bit.

I truly believe all of of the evo lte's exhibit this behavior. That is a great example where the flickering happens. Certain people are more sensitive to refresh rates than others which is why I think everybody doesn't notice it. I certainly see it on my device.

I think you're right on this. I get it to the point that it fatigues my eyes if I look at it for too long. I show my phone to 10 different people, only 6 or so can see it. I've been glued to a smart phone since the iPhone came out.....and since then I've had various iPhones and Android handsets. This is my favorite one thus far, but I can't use the damn thing for much because my eyes are more sensitive to this than most people.
Mine doesn't seem to flicker? It does however seem to be brighter and then go a little darker when the screen turns on. It that what you all mean?

No, it's a rapid flicker. Open the play store, and before everything loads it is a Grey background. That is where mine flickers.
Which screen do you have. I have the AOU. Maybe the Sony screen does not have this issue.

I got this: <6>[82334.739987] [DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2 and it doesn't flicker when I go into google play or my eyes aren't sensitive enough to see it?
