Thanks for the suggestion. I've already tried that and it's still there so i will have to get it replaced.

Screen burn in
Sent from my LGUS992 using Tapatalk

This is a temporary screen burn in. Install blue light filter, set it to 5% and you won't have screen burn ins in the future.

I was seeing very similar things on my G5 for a couple weeks and it seems to have just disappeared. For me, I think it was just a wonky software thing, either with LG or Nova Launcher.

Funny this thread popped up. Had my g5 for about 6months and all of a sudden I'm experiencing screen burn in. A lot.

I just checked mine and i have it since day one but luckily i don't have any screen retention at all i must be lucky this time with my phone because every other model i had i was always having one of the major issues.

Does it really reduce the image retention?

I've had my phone for any 6 months too and that's happening. I can even see some of the webpage of previous apps on the home screen. If anyone has a solution that would be great.

Those is not software issue like someone said. It happened on the V10, G4 and now G5. For some reason more on the G5. If you are rooted, install CF.Lumen and change the color temperature to 6000k. Reduce it if you still experience it. If you are not rooted, use the app Blue Light Filter (for me just 10% did the trick). If you use Blue Light Filter, you'll need to disable it before granting new permissions to apps. Let me know if you guys need more help.
Btw, this is not permanent burn in like on Samsung. It will go away after 10 minutes or so.

See the photos I took.

Mine as well.
I've downloaded an app that suppose to fix this issue by flashing colors, for different amounts of time .

touch screen calibration off?

It seems to be off at the top and bottom of the screen. It will click on things above my finger at the top of the screen, but below my finger at the bottom. Always closer to the edge. In the middle is perfect.
Any one else notice this? Should I exchange it?
Aiming for the middle of the boxes.

Same here. While I do have a dead pixel toward towards the bottom, my main reason for wanting to exchange it is how the touch is off on the top and bottom.

I wonder if its a widespread problem, or isolated. I'd hate to unroot and return it to end up with the same thing.
Same feelings here. There's not really a definitive guide how to prep this phone for a warranty return. Not sure what that all entails, aside from the obvious.

I know this is a slightly older thread but I have an update since last.
Returned my phone today 'primarily' because of a dead pixel.
But the screen digitizer is no longer off near the top and bottom. So much better! No more accident double spaces causing a period or accidently turning on caps.
Didn't think it was that annoying until it's gone and I don't have to deal with it anymore.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I decided to keep my phone, and not exchange it. It's not off enough to justify it, and everything else on the phone works perfectly, so I'm just gonna live with it.
ill return mine... just sick of it

And this screen calibration setting would be located...? I've looked over and over and never seen any option in various roms to calibrate the screen.
Settings/display horizontal and gyro settings fixed one of my friends. It was off but isn't anymore. Though it has nothing to do with the touch but it fixed it...

Not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem. I dropped a post on another thread but this seems to be more like it..
My example (I'm not as techie I guess) would be:
Tap on engadget app - No problems
Tap on a story - No problems
Tap on the comments - Have to do this repeatedly till it comes up
This isn't the only app or problem obviously but that's the one I notice the most.
I am on the verge of returning it considering it's a 200.00 phone.. I shouldnt have to tap something 4 times to get the item to respond. It's really frustrating. I am rooted, stock only. No custom rom. Thought it could be because I am rooted, running Go EX Launcher, Live wallpaper, etc but even using the stock launcher w no live wallpaper and eliminating some other things it doesnt make a difference. I did try the screen/gyro cal and it made no difference. Please let me know if you guys are having the same issue.. My return period is rapidly coming up..

Is it just me or does eye tracker not work well?

Ok so one of the cool features I was excited about was the eyetracker feature. But I've haven't noticed it once work for me. They icon will flash on the status bar but it will still keep going black. doesn't matter how close the phone is or what kind of lighting is in the background. Anyone else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Was the front facing camera directly facing you when the icon appears? It needs to be looking right at your face and not angled slightly in any direction.
Doesn't seem to work at all for me. I dont believe it's because I wear contacts...

Works fine for me as long as i'm directly looking at the screen.

You say that, however the advertising in the UK shows a guy reading to his daughter from the phone in the dark, when his eyes close it shuts off the phone and states the phone only sleeps when you do.
I would call that false advertising if it in fact doesn't work in low or no light...

Tested properly today, multiple times, on my way through London whilst my girl drove. Bright sunny day, and it failed everytime. I tried opening my eyes WIDE, moving the phone nearer, farther... nothing.
It works randomly for me, in dark or light conditions.
This needs an update, period.
My one fails every timr. It just dosnt work even very bright days. Shame on you samsung.

Dont like hearing this at all, this was the feature I was looking to the most i think.
It works fine for me. Not 100% of the time but at least 80%. Most of the time I don't even notice the icon flashing because it's so quick.

did you try to put your phone around 20 - 30cm as mentioned in smartstay function? reading with the phone to close to our face also prevents it to capture whole face and follow our eyes movement.
surprised you're all complaining about this. It works almost everytime for me, even if im looking at the screen from a slight skew
I too have been disappointed in this feature. Doesn't seem to work at all.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Does not work for me either.
I know most people already know this, but smart stay has to be turned on in settings-display. May be just double check if it's on?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Did any of you try it in landscape mode? when i'm reading pdfs in landscape, most of the times smart stay fails.
I find this very weird to hear everyone having so much trouble with this, me and my friend have not had one drama and it's been awesome. All i did was juts make sure it was turned on in the motion settings and it works a treat!
It doesn't work on me as well
I've tested and seems to work about 70pc of time. It has definitely failed too..... But the little eye icon has shown too and it has kept the screen on.... I'd say failures have been a mix of bad/odd angle held and lighting...

Input Lag

Hi people, I have an EVO 3D and it has input lag. If I slide my finger at a certain speed, things won't keep up. Similar to the issue the original EVO had. Could this be a hardware or software problem? I'm rooted and running CM9 but the problem exists with like every rom I've tried. Is there anyone else with a 3D experiencing this?

Dont think that this is the solution to the problem i mean its an htc evo 3d this phone should ****ing recognize what you want it to do otherwise you shouldnt have had to spend that amount of money
its simple rediculous if it wouldnt work
Thanks for the replies. I'm not having an issue with keyboard input though. It's when sliding your finger, like when pulling the notification bar down. It doesn't keep up with my finger unless I move my finger slowly. This is like my 4th android and I may have never had an issue like this with the previous phones. I noticed after getting this phone and having more time with it. Still usable, can be kinda aggravating though I guess.

Then head to the htc store and let them check wether there is any dust below the touch and between the glass i told u i read an atricle about it and they said that the one or other htc phone might face that problem
so if we cant exclude this possibiliy we cant go on troubleshooting so please check it out

Mega 6.3 Build Quality

Finally got my Mega and it's actually smaller that expected. The build quality is okay but there's a small ripple on the screen when you press too hard on it. I think its caused by the LCD and the glass when put under pressure. Anyone have this? It only appears when pressed hard and it's only one small point on the screen so I can live with it. I'm also afraid I'll get a worse one if I have it replaced.
Yep standard LCD then again no need to press to hard hey

So you have the same issue? I just called Samsung to have it repaired, they said it only takes 5 days. I'm a bit OCD so it will bug me to no end. If more people have this then I might just live with it.

It only appears on the same spot when pressed hard, I actually had a hard time taking that pic because it disappears after the tap.
I'm not sure if this is a real flaw or defect. Most LCD screens behave this way if you press really hard. However, pressing normally hard on the 3 GT-I9205 devices here, I can't reproduce the effect.

Maybe when I get it back the Xtralite ROM will be out I'm gonna use the phone all weekend and see on Monday if it gets better or worse. The warranty is 2 years anyway so I can have it repaired at another time if I get used to it. It doesn't appear on regular taps, just hard taps.
I have 4 spots on my screen that look like that when you press slightly hard on the screen. Same as what gx3k posted.
You can still see them as they stay brighter than the rest of the screen on white backgrounds. It's beginning to bother me because they are so visible on white backgrounds. I think I may have created these spots when I was installing the screen protector.
When you press too hard on the screen it sort of damages it and causes these areas.

Z2 - Flickering display

Bought a used Xperia Z2 today. Having owned 2 in the past, it was very stupid of me not to check it throughly, anyway I paid the guy and went home.
It was on 5.1.1, so as I was setting it up, I lowered the brightness a bit, and immediately the bottom of the screen started flickering, it also showed weird multi colored lines and it only happens when the phone is NOT on full brightness.
Even if I adjust the brightness slightly less than full, it starts flickering again.
This is the phone at full brightness.

These two are less than full brightness.
What could be the problem and how would one go about it?
P.S: I texted the seller and he advised a software upgrade. So I flashed the 6.0.1 FTF and it's still happening.
Any replies will be appreciated.

Then he turns his phone off. :/

I tried my last resort thing.
Opened up the phone, took it apart, put everything back together and the problem went away mostly, but it's still there sometimes.
Guess I'll actually have to dump the phone then.
