Hey,
My bro just gave me an already used Samsung Galaxy S III, but I noticed that when displaying a white background app, or a white pic, I can see the ghost of the keyboard.
After some internet searches, I found that it's called a screen burn.
So, can I fix that problem ? .. if so, I'll be thankful if you show me how ..
Thanks !

You can't. you need to be a new screen.
You could display a completely white page over the whole phone for a while but I don't no how long for or if it would work.

Okey thanks ! ..
About the white page, I read that it could make things worst !
I think that I'll live with that, or sell it as it is and buy another phone, 'cause the screen will cost me a lot.

Hi All,
I searched but didn't see this here.
How do we get % for battery on the Verizon S III? By this I mean like 100%, 95%, etc up on the green battery. I remember seeing it on the Sprint S III I went to look at and I thought I saw something in Settings about it.
Did VZ remove it or did I just not see it? I believe I looked through all settings.
Also can we get shortcuts on the lock screen (like Camera and phone) if we use a Pattern lock?
I am not rooted or anything. Is it possible to get both above without rooting or modifying?
Thanks all!!

Hi there,
Sorry to hear your problem. If the image is fine when you transfer to the laptop then you have a faulty screen.
Resetting software won't make a difference, it's the way your screen is displaying the information that's the problem.
You have a row of damaged pixels I would say.
Does the 'line' stay in the same position when scrolling?

Hhhhmmm that's strange. It's definitely not a pixel problem but does seem to me that the display is getting confused. Does it only do this sort of thing in the browser? Is it only when there's writing on a white background? If it's only in the browser you could download a different browser and try that.... Might make a difference.
If it's still doing it I would take phone back for a replacement
I've heard of this happening on other S2's and its a screen defect you should go and get a replacement.
Yeah guys it happens not only in browsing but other times as well..do i need to replace the display or just an IC??

Hi,
I have recently asked something about a flickering, what I think I am able to reproduce. I'd like to ask you to try something out:
a) Please install the app "Full Screen Test" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=la.marsave.fullscreentest
b) Open the app and swipe from the white screen to the grey.
Do you have some sort of a flicker while you see the grey screen? It is easily visible for about 1-3 seconds.
Interestingly, this flicker appears only, when I switch from white to grey. There is no flicker when I come from black to grey.
Please disable the adaptive screen adjustments in Android settings.
Thanky you!

Dear jotei66,
your signature shows me, that you own a Nexus 7. Is this the first model from, I believe, 2012?
Here you can see the kind of flickering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssARVzYJ3Oo&feature=youtu.be&t=50s This video shows the Nexus 7 flickering. It reminds of the problem I see on the Elephone P9000.

Hello everyone,
Today I was checking my phone and I noticed this big oval spot at the bottom left of the screen.. It only appeared in the morning, but I never seen it before! It's like it came all of a sudden! VERY STRANGE ON AN OLED SCREEN!
it's not visible at all on a pitch black background, but only on light colors like white, gray...etc check the attached photos below !
anyone have or had same issue on their Xperia 1? and if anyone knows what caused it to appear and if its gonna be permanent or if it will disappear by the time?
Please let me know in the comments!
thanks for your contribution and help!
Since you are using the gesture mode. I believe it's something with the sideswipe rather than screen/display problem.

yes, since i got the phone which is 1 year and 3 months I've been using gesture swipe option.. do you think it's a software rather than hardware?
Yes. I think it's software.
In my phone, I sometimes see that the clicked gesture keeps showing in the back button.
I have seen it many times.
I guess it's similar to what mine was in yours too.
.... and it exactly looks like you are going back from the app or menu.
Maybe you can try using the two-finger or 3 classic types to check.

do you still see your spot or it's completely disappeared as it never been there?
also, have you tried to factory reset your phone and see if it's software or hardware?
thanks for keeping up!
It's gone but appears sometimes.
Mine disappears by pressing the power button, or back key or recent apps.
