So, I've been having screen problems for a while now. Just thought I had an unique case until I started reading about the S4 problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253881
After reading those problems and watching the many youtube videos, I noticed how similar those issues were to my S3 issues too. I too have a lot of smearing/ghosting when I scroll around on sites and phone settings. Especially white text on black background and black text on white background. I don't even have to scroll that fast to see the effect.
It also happens during games. When I swipe slowly in circular motions, you can see a ghost of objects and text following the original. I know every screen in the world has a bit of morion blur, but it's way too visible on the S3, especially since it's a high end phone.
Anyone else has this issue?

I bought the phone about 2 hours ago (I had the last version too). However, just before I did that I came here to read a little bit about the gps (to see if it was working or not) and then I saw many threads about screen problems and others... so I started to get a bit worried about getting the phone but I did it anyway
Well... during a quick test of the phone I saw that in my contacts and in the task manager screens appears to be a problem (I think)... the left top icon (contacts) has a small color degradation in its border from dark blue to light blue. The Task manager has the same thing but on its right side icon. Its pretty small but I am not sure if its decoration or just a problem of the phone in those 2 "screens" cause I dont see any more color problems elsewhere.
Does anyone else knows what else should I check (most common problems)? To check them out and see if got them too so like that I could go to the store and get a replacement.
Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!

Hi mate,
Don't worry..it's not a screen fault but a feature..
when you see the little colour degradation on "Contacts" and "task manager" means that you can slide left or right to see other features.
Just test it your self, open the contacts application and slide where you see the colour degradation.
Your screen is good, you don't need to go get a replacement.
A bit ago I was playing NOVA 3 and I've noticed that some sort of white layer fills the screen when I'm playing, and that's causing pixelating problems. So I tested on every other game I have on my phone, and all of them shows the same problem. The issue can be identified by a bit opaque bar on the left side (when you're playing landscape) of the screen, near the samsung logo. I'm using Simplistic Rom V, but noticed it on original ICS ROM. I tried to take a screen shot but I wasn't able to see on my pc screen, so no deal.
Can anyone help me please?
I know the title sounds crazy, so let me explain.
I've had this issue for quite a long time now but never gotten into it.
Basically, when I open a white image or whatever light colored app/background, I can recognize a Whatsapp conversation in transparency, almost like it's stuck underneath the display.
So I tried opening the recovery to clear cache and I noticed the same exact thing when the recovery was loading (light blue background).
You can find a picture below. The top portion is my phone's display while the bottom is a screenshot found on Google (cause I needed the old layout for Whatsapp chats).
By the way, the phone I'm having trouble with is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge updated to Android 7.0 (the update didn't fix the issue).
Thanks to everyone in advance
This is known as image retention or burn-in. It is a characteristic of OLED/AMOLED displays when the same images are held at high brightness/intensities for long periods of time. There are apps/tools/methods which claim to reduce, remove or in some way fix the problem but please do your research as there is a good chance they can make the problem worse or introduce new problems. I have not investigated further other than methods of prevention. Also, organic light emitting diodes/pixels have a given lifespan. The screen will lose brightness and color accuracy over time. Blue diodes will fade first, then green, then red.
Hi all,
First of all I KNOW how to use google and I checked different messages about spots on android phones. My case is different: I see not some abstract spot on phone display, but light sky blue circle and inside it 60. The whole thing is barely visible. At fist I even thought it could be some information displayed by some app, or some bug caused by me (I am game developer), but after factory reset damn thing is still there. Any advice?
Hi folks,
I've got a VERY STOCK NON-ROOTED Pixel 6. It's fully up to date including the latest June update that I took this morning; all apps up to date.
For several days, maybe a week or more (who knows how long, but not more than a month), images in Google Photos appear jittery. These are static photo images, no animation or re-rendering should be needed. but, if I watch that screen, some, not all of the photos in there, look like they are being re-rendered, ever-so-slightly differently (like off by a pixel, back and forth) flickering maybe two or three times a second, on the Google Photos home screen (the one you get as soon as you launch the app, before scrolling and tapping into any particular picture) When the flicker happens, typically the main picture in the middle of the screen and at least one of the partially visible pictures below it will flicker at the same time. If I don't touch it, the flicker sometimes settles down after some time (20-30).
Anybody else see this? It's easy for me to reproduce: just make sure Photos is closed, then tap on the home screen icon for Google Photos. The flicker persists if you scroll down; it's not just the pics at the top that flicker/jitter. Again, it settles down afte some amount of time. It's only this app, not the phone generally, and only for the first half minute or so of using the app before closing it.
Any ideas what's going on here?
I'm curious if I'm the only one seeing this. I'd be interested to hear replies even if it's just "me too" without any ideas for solution.
My present theory, which accounts for it "settling down" over time is that after it loads the visible initial pictures, it's still loading pics below into memory to have them ready for scrolling; this loading action may trigger occasional redraws that cause the jitter I see.

I've been trying to help a friend with a Pixel 6 Pro with this exact thing happening, so it's not just you. (I just checked mine, and while I hadn't noticed it before, I can see it happen on a larger image on my Pixel 6 Pro as well.)
I have pixel 6 pro I don't have that problem I think I found out why it has an update I just checked now
