I've had my LG G5 for three days today and I was looking at a picture I took when I noticed I could see my nav bar. It seems to be burned in to the display. I had my LG G Flex 2 for over a year before this and have yet to have a burn in problem. This phone has an IPS display and has burn in already?? Is anyone else having this issue? Also, I don't see my status bar which is even more strange.

The G4 seemed to be a bit prone to this, as well. I had it a few times on my G4 and luckily, mine just disappeared on their own.

If you look closely, you can see faint outlines of the nav buttons and nav bar. It's much more clear in person. This is in the gallery which makes the nav bar clear.

Maybe the nav bar is transparent and it still shows but without the buttons cause the outline looks the same and not even degraded I'm not that good at looking at those tiny details
it must be what bolillo siad ... i cant imagine how it would be possible to get a burn in in just 3 days
LCD screens aren't particularly prone to burn in so getting it in three days sounds like a very faulty screen. Of the six LCD devices I've owned, zero have had any form of burn in.
However, of the two AMOLED devices I've owned, both had burn in. My Nexus 6 had it after three days.
I'm getting bad burn in now on my G5 as well, didn't exhibit this behavior for the first week - both navbar and notification bar. I'm thinking we may have faulty screens, as all my prior phones took at least a year to get to a point where they exhibit this behavior. I don't leave my device screen on and have it only at 40% brightness. You can test by loading a full black image (Google "burn in test image").
Doesn't appear to be a whole lot of others with this issue.
I didn't really believe it but I downloaded the "amoled burn-in fixer" and on the test screen you can faintly see the navbar. I'm pretty disappointed.
If this LCD screen really is suffering burn in after just a few days, it must be one Hell of a faulty screen.
Just downloaded the app too and see the same issue exhibited, although when I take a picture and look at it there is no buttons visible. No burn in in my opinion.
To test if it was actually the nav bar just drawing a shadow i downloaded the app and checked and then i moved the icons and checked again and yes there is a slight ghosting issue kinda like a burn in but i only noticed it in that app so although i now know it's there i don't think it will bother me
It's definitely there, I just used the image from the gallery because it was most visible there. Since I posted this, the ghosting has gone away slightly, and still nothing from the status bar shows this. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

I use the LG one with no want to switch, and that feature isn't there. I can, however, hide the it in most applications.
Sent from my LGLS992 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I would swap it if it's there using a white image in the gallery, because on mine, on a white image in the gallery I have no ghosting whatsoever and my eyes are 20/20 so to speak and I change mobiles every 3 months due to being picky.
Just adding to the discussion, but I have it as well. Never really noticed it until I watched netflix, and it is really visible then. I've had mine for 4 weeks now and I hate to see what it will look like in a couple more! Think I might call Verizon and see if I can get it replaced.
try to unburn with moving rgb bars
since we're talking about LCD, you can try to rearrange the "burned" liquid crystals by displaying moving rgb bars.
this webgl was exactly made for this purpose: http://gbrlgrct.com/gists/deec0c0c12e63a94515b/burn-webgl.html
there is no guaranty but you should give it a try. i've already unburned some LCD screens with this. It may take 1+ hours

I'll give it a try, but I'm just surprised it happened so quickly. I could see if I left the screen on for hours straight, but my daily average is around 2 hours SOT throughout the whole day. Have the screen off at night and while charging. Not very heavy use and it still happened.
It's because the nav bar is seemingly set to a different brightness than rest of display.
No matter how dim display gets, nav bar is bright AF.
I bet that stupid 700+ nit mode does it, so in sunshine is gonna make it worse.
I see very faint lines for the nav bar icons. Have had phone for 3 weeks.
Will seek replacement when Nexus is released and sell to buy that.

Hi,
I got my S2 a couple days back and was watching a movie in a completely darkroom and noticed that the screen wasn't truly black when the title were playing. I initially thought it was an issue with movie so I tested the screen with a pure black screen (*#0*#) and noticed that the screen glowing a tad lighter than black and I had several black patches on the screen. This is extremely annoying when using apps that have a lot of black or when watching movies. the dark patches and streak is also noticeable in the clock app in the dark grey patterned lower area. I have seen this issue mentioned in another post but there is no definitive answer as to whether this problem can be fixed or goes away after some usage. I would just like to know if I should send this in for replacement? What are my other options?
I also noticed that my 3 day old phone already had slight notification bar burn ins and even my google search widget seems to be burning in to the screen. Honestly I am extremely disappointed with these QC issues and this is my second unit as I had the first replaced for other screen issues.
I'd return it now for a NEW replacement, before the time expires. After a certain timeframe, only repair warranty most likely available, and that will probably take longer.
In some cases, it could be only 1 week.

ya I have a 30 day replacement offer so I guess I will be using that. Hope I'm lucky the third time around.
You may already know this, but;
If you send it back and your phone is rooted, custom rom etc, ensure you flash back stock firmware and get a usb jig to reset the samsung custom flash counter and remove warning triangle.

Edit/update
Im on Gingerbread 2.3.3 XWKF3 (India)
If someone could please try this simple test and let me know their results, I would be very grateful.
Test Procedure:
- Find a completely dark room (easier at night)
- goto phone keypad and dial *#0*#
- tap the button that says Black (Vibration)
- now look directly at the screen for a few seconds and let your eyes adjust
At this point do you see?
a) pure black (cannot distinguish btw bezel and screen),
b) an even mild glow, sort of like a backlight
c) a glow along with patches/blotches of pure black?
I see option (c). Could some of you pls do this test and let me know your results. This problem can also be seen, under the same dark conditions, if the clock app is opened. If you have the same problem I have, then you should see dark patches in the grey area.
I tried out before my last reply, but in dim (not dark) conditions, seemed ok.
Now tried as you suggested, and let my eyes adjust for a few second, I can see what your saying.
Maybe this its part of the super amloed + screen?
So in short , I'll take answer C

In your case, i'd still go with the return for new. No guarantee though...

Photo
Well here's a photo to better demonstrate my issue. It is a little exaggerated by the camera but still pretty accurate. One can also see that the glow has a reddish tint. It was taken with a DSLR in hi res. You can see just how bad it is. Yes this is not that noticeable if the room isn't really dark but it's pretty damn bad in my room with all the lights out. And thats how I usually read at night. I wouldn't even mind an even glow but the splotches are unacceptable.
Ok your screen is clearly a QC fail. Go and exchange it ASAP. The screen does have a faint glow because it needs to be powered, but it should be a VERY faint and even glow perceptible only in pitch black conditions.

You dont need to do that man.....the only way you're going to get burnt images is if you left you're screen on full brightness and had a static image (in the same spot) for weeks and never turned you're screen off....do what you want with it, you bought the phone and spent the money, enjoy it. It will be fine!
I'm not worried about burn in, but I do run a solid black wallpaper to save on battery life. My widgets and icons are the same as they would be on any other phone though, so it probably only saves minimal battery. But I like the black background anyways

I do have a bar on my captivates screen where the notification bar is. Only really noticeable on a white or light background while in a fullscreen app of course, and not at all terrible or distracting. Either way, I'll be making no effort on my s2 to prevent it from possibly happening again.
i've mad the opposite concession. I know i'll have sucky battery life but I just reduce game play, syncing etc. and have that beautiful screen up to full brightness all the time with a particularly colorful backround. It gets a ridiculous amount of attention every where i go. People litereally ask me about it all the time. Its awesome I love it , then again this is my first super amoled screen i can't help but be in awe.

Like it was mentioned above, black screens are better for AMOLED screens. A regular screen has to turn on pixels to show black. In an AMOLED screen, the pixels are just turned off to show black. Thus, the more black on your screen, the more power you're saving.

Love those icons! Where did you get it?
Black glass, sense glass, and probably some of the other glass themes for ADW.
I didn't buy this phone with this amazing screen to only use black backgrounds and gray icons!
The colors on this screen are simply amazing! Use it! If your screen gets burnt-in in two years, who cares? You have to enjoy what you have. In two years you probably feel worse about not having the Galaxy S4 than having minor burn-in problems somewhere in the screen...
And as far as the battery usage:
Most of the battery usage is not generated by the home screen. Really, who spends hours per day viewing their homescreen? Most of the usage comes from the system itself, phone calls, games, web browsing, etc.
If you generate 5 minutes extra battery life by having dark-gray icons, i'd be surprised!
The only thing that makes sense is changing to a solid black status bar.
And it takes way less than two years to burn in.

I would say that my "blobbing" is a little bit worse than what you see there.
Some are worse than others. On my first SGS2, an entire third of the screen was discolored. The second was worse- a fourth was discolored with lines across the screen. The third one, and the one I kept, only has two small spots on the left side.
If it bugs you, go to the store and get the best one they have.

How exactly do you check for it in the store? The fact that it is only noticeable in dark conditions is hard to check for.
I don't think I'm experiencing these black spotty colors. However...
My first SGS2 had some pixel problems. See image below. That line of pixel shows a higher contrast of whatever is displaying on that row of pixels. It only shows up at certain times when the videos or photos show some color or contrast threshold that activates these problem lines of pixels.
My second SGS2 has a soft (almost) black glow at the bottom on landscape (or left side at portrait) against a completely black background only noticeable at night (like when I'm in bed with the bedroom lights off). This doesn't bother me that much. I'm keeping it.

I don't think I understand what you are talking about on the second picture. When viewing a black background at night my whole screen has a somewhat grey glow to it. The blobs show up as solid black against the grey.
It's only noticeable on black or really dark backgrounds but does everyone else's home button bleed a bit of light into the screen or just mine? I'll see if I can snap a pic tomorrow.
Yupp... Once an led brightness mod is created it should be better.
Yeah noticed this from day one. Mine is not just on the really dark screens either but I think every phone I've ever had has had something like this in one way or another....no biggie.

you can also download an app from the market that test your screen for dead pixels and it helps find light-bleed as well. I believe it's called Screen test, just type that in the play store and you'll find it.

You have 30 days to do whatever you want with it.
I had light bleed on my first EVO LTE. The light bleed is most apparent when the button lights are on, the screen backlight is at its dimmest setting, and the screen is black. A great way to test is to install the flash-the-brain.com FlashLight app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.flashLight) and swipe down to set it to the dimmest setting. A picture of my first phone and the replacement are below (this was a long exposure in a completely dark room, so it didn't look quite so bad in real life):
I have it also, i didn't always notice it but definitely there at times... must be when the lights are on the buttons like ahecht pointed out
i dont know if it gets worse though, should i exchange?
yeah mine has a light bleed on all black screens as well
mine has light bleeding as well.. i noticed it during a game boot up today.. isn't our 30 days getting close? hmm what to do ...
Hello all,
Last night I watched a show on my tablet in total darkness and noticed some weird banding which I thought was caused by the video itself but then I checked with the other apps and it was clear that it wasn't the video but the screen itself. Is my tab screen faulty? It's just over 3 weeks old for God's sake! Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or am I the only one?

This is what it looked like while watching
those look like window reflections. Make a drawing, fill the entire screen with solid black, do you still see the banding? Do you have blue light filter on? If you still see it and you don't have any filters and you're sure it's not reflections, return it.
At low Brightness with night mode on mine is a bit patchy but yours seems worse. If it bothers you I would exchange and see if you get better luck next time

Lowest brightness yes. Blue light no. I never use that. I surely would never use with video

Hey guys. Just an update. It's a bit of a long story but the tl;dr version is that I have got a new Tab S6 today and guess what? The same screen-bleed issue but on a different part of the screen.
Portrait
Landscape
I phoned the Samsung shop team and they were extremely helpful and arranged a replacement. However, I am very disappointed with the quality control. Does anyone know how I can raise this with Samsung so that something would be done at a higher level i.e. maybe there is a faulty batch or something?
Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight.

No. The pictures above are of the replacement tablet. I hadn't had the chance to transfer my settings or anything so it's factory formatted. All I did was turn on night mode at night and start the dialer app as well as other Samsung apps. Even the keyboard is brighter on one side than the other. I asked the other half to look and point out anything odd and she spotted it straightaway.
The tablet was literally out of the box. Barely stayed out of the box for an hour and there was nothing else pressed against it at all.

It's not bleed it's just uneven tints on the screen, very common and annoying as heck.
wow I've never seen anything like that on an oled or amoled screen. I have the S2,S3, S4, note 8, note 10+ and LG Oled and never seen anything even close.
What you have with the white, doesn't surprise me as much as the black as with black the pixels should be OFF.
The mate 20 pro was plagued with green screens like that. I believe they were lg oleds

By the way it's not pure black backgrounds, more dark greys, mine is similar and I believe they will all have it to some degree, seems to be a short coming with oled..it's only noticeable when displaying certain types of greys, at very low brightness, even worse with blue light filter on
Somewhat similar to what I'm experiencing, uneven black levels from corner to corner.
I'll try and get a replacement from the retailer, they give 30 days to return items so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
It's not awful, but once you notice it, you always notice it.
I have also the same, verry annoying. And for that price i espect something that works.
