Screen burn-in, anyone else getting this?

[yahknow1]

Lately I've been noticing a very faint ghost of a rectangle burnt into the center of my display. At first I wasn't sure if it was an image burnt in, or an actual defect on(under) the display? If it was image burn-in, I wasn't sure which image could make this rectangle - exactly centered, that size? and in the middle of the display? I woke up this morning with the answer! After charging all night the rectangle that told me - "charging complete" was displayed and it was BRIGHT WHITE and EXACTLY the same size as the burnt in image.

…So thanks a lot Samstung for ruining my display with your stupid banner ad telling me my battery was fully charged! Now my question is would this be covered under warranty?

Is anyone else getting the same window shaped burn-in? You don't see it until you run an app that has a white or light background then, whoops, there it is!!

exact reason i disable that "pop up". most custom roms have it cooked in but tell sprint/samsung its there fault and send you a new epic.

What happens is this..in AMOLED each pixel has a certain amount of lifespan..

Blue=50,000 hours
Red=100,000 hours
Green=200,000 hours (or 250,000 but around there)

White uses up all 3..

as you use your display, the brightness of the pixels begin to fade little by little...once its lifespan runs out it will be at 50% of the original brightness...

Usually your display wears at around same rate all around so its not noticeable...but there is cases like yours where it causes uneven fading...

You can try and see if they replace it..if not you can make an inverted image of what you have and run it until fading evens out again..

Well, how did you disable the pop-up? where would I find that setting, do you remember?

its not a setting..you gotta apply a mod in clockwork to remove it...or run a custom rom with it already removed.

yeah try a custom rom and it will remove that annoying pop up message, CIQ, lag, and bloatware
