Don't kill me, I have to know.
Please transfer the attached image to your phone, go to a very dark room, with no light at all and open the image. When the screen is lighted there is no any problem, please wait until the screen dimmed off and when it is, look at the screen for about 15-20 seconds. Do you see black spots on the more pale background? look at it close to the screen.

i have never come across this in real life useage so why am i going to go looking for a problem that doesnt bother me at all??
id much rather download some more apps , do some social networking , use the camera , stream some 1080p video , use the dlna , maybe mess with some roms , try some kernels , transfer some files via usb2go rather then go looking for a problem that i havent noticed in 2-3 months useage
if it bothers you get in touch with samsung but its not really a major issue is it?? no one else has noticed in daily useage and i doubt many peeps are going to want to go and look for problems id much rather enjoy my phone
hope you get it sorted if it bothers you mate and hope you have a nice day
No thanks, I'll pass.
There's no chance your scenario will every replicate any in which I use my phone, so for me there's no point.
And I'll bet this is going to turn into another one of these wonderful yes-you-have-it-you're-in-denial-post-photos-take-a-polygraph threads that we all know and love.
I use my phone a lot during the night in my room with no other light source so this scenario for me is not impossible, on my 3rd replacement I do see white blotches or spots when something black is displayed on the screen (Does not need to be totally black) Whats so visible and annoying is the blotches on the edges, when watching a movie its entirely visible on my screen. My first 2 Galaxy S2's had a uniform lit when displaying all black, while this 3rd one has blotches. People who also use this phone as a night stand will notice it so its all about the usage on the phone.
I believe this is the one they call finger prints behind the screen.. Not sure though..
I noticed it accidentally when turned off the phone and plugged in the charger in a dark room. It is not only spots but stripes also.

Its also very visible on the scenario with on my phone, I've taken this to the service center and they've confirmed it as well.. Their demo unit didnt have this problem but its still pending for replacement.
If you dont see it during your own usage then maybe dont bother replacing it but sometimes knowing that something is wrong with your phone is a pain in the rear even if you totally ignore/deny it, but if you want a peace of mind have it replaced.

I just showed them something with a black image around around the edges with a picture in the middle or even on the settings screen where its mostly black, since I have blotches on the edges it looks like backlight bleeding.

reminds of about not bothering to count them dead/stuck pixels on your new 50" LCD. otherwise you will be pissed, because you know where it is...

I also noticed some irregularities with the screen. Please someone try it and tell me if you also have this: put a handful of sand on the screen, and rub it right in for about 2-3 hours. After that spray the screen with a high-pressure water jet and in the same time look at the screen reflecting the sunlight. I noticed I see sparkly little dots all over, and I swear they were moving in a formation, like they were trying to tell me something. Do you guys see it?
Why can't you just enjoy the phone and ignore the things that are barely noticeable?

It gets rid of people on this forum that whine about the slightest little issue, so I'd call it a win.
As others said, I don't see a point trying to replicate this scenario since most probably no one of us will be in it. Even if the problem is there we are not affected by it. That's what is important to me
Thanks anyway

Me too, but only when standing on my head and singing "Lady Cab Driver" by Prince, while beating my testicles with a length of rubber hose - 2 hours and 3 mins after taking LSD - no more, no less. Unfortunately, I always use my phone under these conditions.
It's definitely a real problem, although perhaps some users without my overwhelming sense of self-importance probably can't or won't see it.
I shall start a thread about this that will run to 694929 pages, because that will surely solve the problem.
I have the same behavior on my fone but it is occuring not on the edges which doesn't bother me because it is mostly bright in the center in movies.
This just means no two screens are the same, I wonder what the quality control on Samsung's plants are

Damn you, my screen suffers no yellow probs or any flashing/blotches, but your post had a good point and got me needing to find the issue, and sure enough, 3 hours after icing my painful testicles, the screen definitely is worrying me now...I think I dropped acid on it.

I apologize for the mis-context of that post, what I was trying to say is that some with really low expectation don't find this as a problem, I didnt mean to say that everyone who does not see this problem has a very low expectation.

Agree, if by your usage your not affected by the problem then dont bother chances are theres gonna be another issue with the replacement phone, on my end im a bit unlucky though as its very visible on the edges, looks like backlight bleeding
On the seperate one tick whether or not you have it. Personally I can spot mine in normal usage at some auto brightness levels. I know that a lot of this will fall under personal opinion, but I would like to hear what people think.
This thread is pretty pointless. The severity is going to be everyone's opinion. There is no set way to measure it without comparing all the devices. And taking pictures of the device is a bad way to measure it because light bleed is amplified horrendously on a camera. Personally, I don't think the light bleed on my N10 is bad at ALL, possibly because I'm somewhat used to it due to my monitor having it.

Perhaps, but I would like to see how bad people think their light bleed is. Personally I have compared it to several other of my devices (galaxy tab 2 7.0, ipad 2, galaxy player 5.0) and none of them have it this bad.
If I stare at the bottom right corner, on a completely black screen, with max brightness, I can notice slight bleed. Looking at the same corner under any other conditions and I can't make out any bleed lol.

Idk, this makes we want to send mine back and try for another, but I don't want to do that and get a worse one back. I can see mine at 100 percent brightness and if I stare at it I can pretty easily see it under normal conditions. My friend couldn't see it for like 20 minutes though, so maybe I am just crazy. With that said he can spot it pretty easily now.

If it's going to be a concern in the long run, I might suggest just returning it.
Currently, I have a multi-touch issue with my screen that doesn't seem to like when I use more then 3 fingers at random times. Although the chances of me using more then 3 fingers is... extremely rare; it does sort of bother me a bit lol. But then again, aside from that, and the very minor bleed I have, everything else seems fine... hmm

Ha ha, almost seems like a best of the worst sort of thing. If it doesn't have one issue it has another. Also the cable they sent me doesn't charge the tablet, I have to use the one that came with my sgs3.
Good to see that the majority has none. Just ordered a new unit. We shall see how this turns out.
My option is not there. Only visible on the start up screen and only when the auto brightness adjusts. They could probably just fix mine by disabling auto brightness on boot up and there would be no way I can see it. Lol
For the people that said they don't have any:
When did you order and is this your first unit?
I'm not sure if mine really counts as light bleed. Since playing with it for a couple of hours I've only noticed two small spots on the very bottom about the width of my small finger. I need to have brightness set to about 60% and a completely dark background to really see it. During normal use with auto brightness on I don't notice it. Is it really possible to get zero light spots in all conditions with these screens?

That's still light bleed, but I can see mine all the time. It sounds minor.
So far not so good. 14 people don't have light bleed and 15 people do.
I ordered mine 5 minutes after they went on sale. No light bleed.
Well I called for an RMA. Before the csr put it through, I got assurance that should the replacement have worse problems that I could RMA the replacement and keep the original. My problem is a little annoying but I have no desire to go through 6 or more replacements to find that perfect device. Other than the dim strip this thing is flawless so I'd rather not risk warped backs, reboots, or a worse panel. Here's to hoping the one replacement is defect free.

Before returning your Nexus 10...
Call Google and speak to TECH SUPPORT AND NOT CUSTOMER SUPPORT!
I complained about light bleed in my first one, and later came to find out that the idiot in CS put down that I was returning it due to remorse, which means I'd have to pay the restocking fee. Tech will put your return reason as defective or DOA so you don't get charged the fee.
No light bleed on mine. I was surprised since my last two Android tablets (transformer and toshiba excite 10) both had some light bleed noticeable on the black boot screen.
Hi,
order Thursday 22 and Friday 23 received. I also have the problem of "light leakage" on the bottom right corner.
How is the replacement? Should your return the product for exchange or google you refer another product? and then send the product deffect .

Worth bearing in mind that the numbers are skewed somewhat toward people who are concerned about this topic, with a good chance that they have a light bleed problem -- these are generally the folks who will open this thread and vote in the poll. If you could be confident that all XDA readers in the N10 forum would vote, the percentage would be scarier. Not sure how meaningful the stats will really be that are collected in this thread.
Hi there. Long story short I've already encounter a "mild" screen burn in on my brand new S9+ I receied last Friday. I say it's mild cause it dissapears after few moments but I'm not happy with that on almost £900 phone. Basically when I use AOD in blue and unlock the device I can see a ghost of the clock burned into my home screen. I reckon it's because it does not moe as much as it used to on my S8. Im attaching a short video but its hard to see in on there. And funny enough all it takes is few minutes for it to show up. Does anyone seen something like that before? My only concern is that if it's doing it already after few days how bad will it be few months in? I've contacted O2 to get it replaced but I hope my next one will be ok.

In my experience, screen "burn in" doesn't go away after a few moments. So if it does, then it's not really burned in, and isn't really screen burn in, yet.

That's why I've called it "mild" burn in. I know it doesn't go away cause I've had it on my previous Galaxy phones near the end of first year. This one does kinda ghost behind. I'm having a door swap this morning so hopefully it was just a case of bad batch. Also I managed to get a better video of what is occuring to my device if anyone is interested

Do you also use AOD? If so hopefully mine was just a bad one-off. The thing is, only few minutes are enough to make it seen. First time I wasn't even looking for it, phone was not moved for about an hour and then when I unlocked it it was pretty much black on white, that bad. A lot worse than on that video. Hope Samsung will notice the problem and make some adjustment to how AOD clock moves around cause it's moving nowhere as much as it did on my S8

Got my replacement device this morning and I can confirm that this one does the same thing for me. The question is, am I really unlucky to get a bad batch or is the problem a lot more widespread on S9+?

This is why I very much dislike AMOLED. Sure, it looks pretty but you have to watch what you display, how long you display it, and the brightness of your screen. The Nexus 6 burned in on me in less than a week and that was the last AMOLED device I owned.
I've been debating on trying the S9+, mostly because it's almost impossible to find a decent device without AMOLED these days. Same with glass builds. Yeah, they look nice but they're fragile and prone to scratching.
Seems like everyone jumped on the AMOLED bandwagon and now the glass build bandwagon. It's looking like the notch is next.
ive read OLED screen will have a tendency "burn in" pixels that are always on. need to keep things moving.

Rule #1 never use white **** on AOD
Rule #2 never use white widget
Rule #3 Use Dark theme
im out
Speaking of dark themes are they ever going to have an entire black scheme, system-wide?
I can understand having white themes for LCD devices but I really miss the system color schemes of the jellybean days.
When the S5 came out, for example, the dialer was so damn bright you could use it for a torch! (flashlight)
Ridiculous.
It.Needs.To.Stop.Now
Also, burn in and persistence are different. With the former being permanent and latter temporary.
Hopefully it's not permanent.
I usually disable AOD anyhow.
It's really dim but I feel safer with it gone.

AOD has been designed to keep shifting the content on screen so that burn-in doesn't happen. Not sure if anyone has noticed but I have noticed it on S7E and S8 so far.

UPDATE:
OK, now it's a widespread issue.
It looks like it could be the glue drying or something else.
Because the issue appears after some days of usage.
Btw, I've returned my phone
-------------------------
I bought the Mate 20 Pro the 18th of October, at first the display looked fine but it's been some days already that I'm noticing a yellow/green tint on the right side of the display that reminds me so much to the problem that happened with the Nexus 4 (it was because of the glue [https://www.pocketables.com/images/....com/images/2012/12/nexus-4-yellow-screen.jpg) ).
And it's getting worse.
It's not just me, another user on XDA and another user on Reddit also said that are having the same issue.
If it's the glue, even if you don't notice the issue right now on your device, it might appear in the next days, as it happened to me.
These are my pictures:
[https://imgur.com/a/6doz3ZI](https://imgur.com/a/6doz3ZI)
What do you think?
I'll go and return my phone for another one this Monday. And if the new one has the same problem I'll ask for a refund
UPDATE:
More things I've noticed:
After playing a burn in fix video, the way that this issue looks is different, it changes.
Here I took some pictures of the display with a black background:

There seem to be two different issues, or maybe one. Maybe it's related with the display controller

Then it will probably be the glue
if its glue, its a manufacture faulty batch (lets hope). This even happened years ago with Samsung phones due to poor QA (and for Samsung that's huge).
While highly unlikely, if you happen to find its software related or to do with w/display driver, post it in the EMUI/software problem/fault thread so you can let others know. Also, be sure to get in touch with Huawei and keep us posted on your results.
EDIT 1/11: From what I can read on the first 30-40 pages its moistly screens with LG and not BOE. Its in multiple regions, so let's way a few more weeks and see if the newer BOE batches or wave 2 of the shipments fixes the issue...

I have similar problem. The brighter shade can be visible on both sides ( on the right side little bit more expressive) and at notch edges. I'm returning phone tommorow . Sucha a shame :/
I have the same problems
Following this. I also have the same issue. Not sure though if it's to do with the screen refractions on the curved glass. Will wait to see what happens with others. What apps are people using to test?

I thought that. I've never had a curved like this. I put a black wallpaper on and it's fine. Put a colour one on and you see it
A great way to tell is if you have a white chrome window and then pull the notification shade down it shows all around the notch. I think it's something to do with greys on low light levels?
Yeah greys at low light seem to vary in colour a little, if it's really bad keep swapping the phone. I had to change my Nexus 6P made by Huawei 3 times before I got a good screen. Mine is slightly lighter on the bottom third but it's hardly noticeable so I'm going to stick with it.

I've got the XDA app open and it's green on the left , green around the top and bottom left. Think I hear the 6T
For me it was netflix loading screen,it's gray,and the amount of shade was overwhelming :-/ I'll check another version tommorow,if the issue will show up on another device i quit and wait for S 10 probably.

Be cautious,I saw nothing at first day of usage. I think this issue is getting worse over time.

Mine got worse today. Used a lot today though
I just ordered a Pixel 6, which should be arriving in a couple of days. I want to do my best and locating any issues within the two week return policy.
From what I have read, most of the Pixel bugs have been fixed, and other issues some people have in other people don't.
Is there a way that I can run certain tests to see if those bugs are impacting my phone on the network that I'm on?
That is, for the fingerprint sensor, it's obvious how to test that.. For items such as connectivity, that seems a bit more complex.
As I have work and other obligations, as most people do, I can't sit in front of my phone all day for 14 days to figure out what issues exist.
Are there some recommendations on what /how to test, to see if things are any issues that are important to me?
Thanks
ScreenTest; check the display. It should be perfect. That's the first thing I check.

Thanks. That's great advice for phones in general. And recommendations for some burn-in type test would not be bad, altogether.
I was asking more specifically regarding issues which people have with the Pixel 6, even at this late date 9 months later. For example, related to network connectivity and overheating.
Thanks

You're welcome. Sorry I can't give you more concise information.
Looking more for dead or wrong color pixels. Variations in color or greyscale, there should be none.
Test the cams. Test the phone, internet, bt and wifi. Test the sensors and fast charging.
Do the basics first as failure of these will cause a return for sure.
Fortunately you have the luxury of real users reviews now, months latter.
You don't have to dig too hard. Do searches on Google, use xda in search to pull up threads about easily on this site.

I also guess that you were talking about the more recently reported issues with dead pixels around the camera, not just a generic item.

There have been more issues across the board with the variable refresh rate displays, not just dead pixels and not just Google. Personally I don't think the variable refresh rate displays are worth the trouble. They are extremely hard to accurately color calibrate as well; too many variables.
There been battery/heat issues too, but many other brands are having them as well. Android 11/12 are no gems. The scoped storage sucks extra CPU cycles/battery.
Take a picture of a blank wall and look for circle shaped spots. I didn't do that and now I have Casper the friendly ghost on every low detailed photo.

Is there a specific app that you recommend? They're quite a number of them called screentest.
Interestingly, I was expecting comments regarding network connectivity, overheating and the fingerprint reader.... Instead in hearing about camera and screen... Starting to think twice about this phone... I only ordered it after articles talked about bugs mostly fixed ..(and $100 off). I was waiting for the 6a (I have a 3a)

It's Screen Test, my bad.
This version will run on Android 9 and 10, not sure about 11/12.
Any tests for the networking issues?

So, I received the phone. That screen testing software, doesn't show anything around the camera, notification area. As such, the screen testing looked fine. But, I see a gradient in that portion of the screen. Is that expected?
At first I thought that I had massive networking issues ... But then I noticed that both the 3A and 6 have Network issues when they are on within a few feet of each other. Even if the other phone is in airplane mode. Once I turned one or the other off completely, the other phone worked fine.
I need to get used to the size of this.. hopefully I can. Right now my hand is cramping. Any suggestions? I'm really used to using a phone with one hand.

Not sure. ScreenTest isn't working as expected.
It should cover the whole display.
Check to see if there's a newer version.
Get a good case and get use to using both hands. A case is needed to protect it. I use the Zizo Bolt but don't think they make cases for Pixels. The N10+ is not really one hand usable either but my eyes say the added screen acreage is worth it.

I downloaded another screen test and the color is stable across the screen.

I haven't had any problems with my P6, but from what I've read the problems will be easy to spot if you have them.
Stay off wifi for a while and make sure you have a stable mobile data connection (not constantly switching between 4G & 5G, being able to pull up websites, watch videos, etc.). See if the fingerprint scanner works at least 8/10 or 9/10 times. Does the phone heat up in normal use. Can you get at least a day out of the battery under normal use.
I don't think you need to stress out about locating issues. If you have them, you'll know.

Exactly, you do have a warranty if there happens to be issues. If theres a big hardware issue, they'd do a recall if not there'd be a class action like the N6P, the $400 we got was pretty cool.
I ended up having some audio issues with Bluetooth in my car and some siblilance (letter s) issues, on hd voice. I ended up returning the Pixel 6 and bought a 6A. I do not have this problems in the 6A. My current plan does not have 5G, so I can't test against it. I need to spend more time with 4G and see how that does. The fingerprint reader, I think they even be slightly slower than the pixel 6. The screen seems okay as well as the camera.
