If im understanding correctly here, what you are explaining is screen burn. Unfortunately the panel this device uses has issues with it. There is another thread with users reporting screen burn here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/screen-burn-t3364676

Right. Ghost buttons are shows to me, so it's like screen burn.
But sometimes this just dissappear for while.
It's possible to repair it? I mean fix without change whole LCD in phone?

Weird dead spot

So there's a (what I thought was a dead spot) sensitive spot near the top of my screen. It's about an inch tall and spans the whole screen wide. If you press normal to hard it'll do a instant single click. But I found out if you touch it really lightly it'll function like normal.
Now the weird part is it stays w/ the rotation. If you turn it upside down or sideways the bar always effects the same icons and widgets in its path so I don't believe its a hardware problem.
Anyone else have this problem?
i'm assuming you're using a 101 as this seems to be a normal defect of the device. there is a fix where you have to dig inside your archos to get rid of the flex or you can just make a habit of lightly touching it. it's a pain trying to drag widgets on the screen b/c of this.
you can try to recalibrate the screen to see if it may help any.
Yea on a 101 and the recalibrate doesn't help. What is this fix your talking about?

The fix that madsquabbles is referring to can be found here:

(You will have to copy and paste the link. I don't have enough posts to enter a URL. )
I have also read that it may go away with time and multiple recalibrations, or that it may be caused by a "rogue" application and/or widget that has issues with the device.

Try that one.

[Q] Screen/Software Issue S3 - Need People To Test PLEASE!

Hi Everyone,
So I have noticed with my new S3 that when I do certain things my screen colours are change. For instance if I am watching a movie using there new picture on the home screen thing and then I set it back to full screen and rotate the screen and then put it back on the home screen the text in my text messages is all screwed up and has a white border around all the text. As soon as I close the video this issue resolves it self.
Would this be a hardware or software issue and can any of you please try this for your self.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Can some of you S3 owners please do the following.
1: Load up a video with the default player.
2: Use the picture and picture feature.
3: Then return the video to full screen by tapping on the small video.
4: Then rotate the screen with the video playing to full screen.
5: Then return the video to the PnP mode and load up your text messages.
You should see your text has a white haze around all of the text.
Can someone please confirm.

Your phone comes with an LCD test menu. You could use that to check for any issues on that front.
Following instructions from The SGS3 Indian FAQ and Discussion Thread could help you out. Thanks to Bala_gamer
* Enter the dialer and input the following code "*#0*#, it will give you a set of options to test the mobile.
* The same lcd test menu can be used for testing the tint issues, the main menu of the lcd test should look white rather than pinkish white or warmer white. you can either decide it yourself by your eyes or compare it with another AMOLED screen.
* Black dots are present on almost all AMOLED panels with varying intensity. Its not an issue. But if you still want to check for lesser dots take your mobile to pitch dark environment and load a complete black wallpaper, once your eyes get setlled to the environment look over the scrren. you will notice those spots.
I hope this tells you where the problem is. Lemme know if it works.
Hi,
Thanks for the information I tried it and everything looks good. I went down to my local Optus dealer today and I could replicate the same issues with the pebble blue handset they had on display. It seems to me it's a software issue.

Well, what do you know. You were right!..Never would've even thought of that, come to tell you the truth. I'm afraid I'm completely out of my depth here. I've faced the same issue. Try posting the question in the forum I posted in my previous reply. The admin should be able to figure it out. I'll second your post.

odd issue with the keyboard on S2

I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend

[Q] Youtube app issue

The clichés of asking for help in a forum as your first post. Oh joy. Either way, this isn't a huge problem for me, but if anyone knows how to fix it, I would be ecstatic.
When in in youtube full screen, it is exactly that, full screen, but, seemingly randomly, I get my notification bar that appears on screen along with the home buttons, and until I force close the app, they won't go away and take up screen space during a video. Any fix for this or am I missing something as to why it's happening?
Attached pictures show immersive and what happens after.
Phone is stock LG g2.

Screen overlay on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

For the last two days I noticed that I have another screen under my main screen. I dont know how to explain, but its almost like my main screen is see through and I see another layer under it. Everytime I browse or open anything with white screen you can clearly see another layer. Its appears to be large bar on the left side of the screen and 3 buttons on the bottom of the screen (mic, record and idk the third one) I dont know how to post screenshots here, I took couple and would like to post them along with my post, but Im newbie here and cant seem to find attach button anywhere
My phone is Unlocked Galaxy note 8 SM-N950U1
Solution. Update! Found problem
It turns out its my google navigation burned into the screen. I downloaded Burn Test app and looked at icons closer and realized its from Google Maps wilhich I use all day as I am a truck driver. Image of the map just burnt in. Looks like there is no fix for that other than replacing device
