screen is fried after 2 days of use - Moto 360

as the title states, my screen is fried after 2 days of use. I am so disappointed... :crying: i left it on the charger and noticed it was darker than usual. this as well as my battery not charging completely is causing me to really consider not bothering replacing this one and cashing out while I'm ahead
i am having trouble posting pictures directly so...http://1drv.ms/1uVzkyg

That's the first I've seen this. Good thing you still have time to exchange it!

Definitely a screen burn, image burn-in during charging...
(You can clearly see the charging ring burned into the screen)
That's not a good sign... but this is the first time I've seen or heard anything about this, so most likely just a defective unit.
Definitely get a replacement before it is too late.

Someone else posted something like this a while ago he got his from Google I / O. Apparently his developed screen burn-in pretty quickly as well. I'm hoping these are just defective units and not a sign of things to come for all of us.

That looks horrible.

I decided to stick it on the charger all night and its worse (ha!) I'm glad i went through best buy. I'm going in and politely demanding a prompt replacement. its odd, the display seems to have more jagged edges on the screen icons as well as a change in brightness since this problem started.

that sucks man, considering the shortage, I hope you get a quick replacement

Turning the screen off helps charge the battery faster too, don't know why Moto decided to leave it dim...

I called Motorola, they knocked 10% off and free shipping. Best buy couldn't order through their stock system on account of scarcity. I should receive a new one within 4 weeks. I hope it's still the grey band and not the stone leather one. I added more photos of how bad the burn in was.

Yeah, that's crazy. Definitely defective!
I actually liked having the display on all night on my nightstand and using it as a clock. Never had any Ill effects, though

Seems like a defective unit or there would be a ton of people reporting this. Sorry for your loss and I hope you get a replacement soon!

i thought it looked nice as well although it bathed my room in blue light that made it hard to close my eyes.

Nope people only post when they have issues. What would be the point of everyone with no issues creating a thread to say "my watch works fine"?

i honestly don't think he had a bad unit. i think that these screens are subject to burn in just like early plasma hd screens. he already stated that he left the watch on the charger for two days with a static image. that is a recipe for burn in on screens that are susceptible to burn in. after reading this thread i turn my screen off when the phone is on the charger.

Maybe some glitch made his screen stay on max brightness while on the charger instead of going dim?

It would help if you could provide us with some pictures of your phone.
I think it's a common issue with SuperAMOLED. I had a screen burned with Galaxy S top bar, where the battery icon was. You just have to live with it...
took some pics but its not very obvious on camera - guess i'll just live with it didnt realise it was a problem with super amoled screens tho!
I would return the phone to get a warranty-replacement.
Never heard of screen burn with AMOLED-screens before. I have my Omnia7 since November and there isn't the slightest hint of a screen-burn yet.

Go to Samsung Galaxy S i-9000 area and Search "Screen burn". Theres plenty of threads and posts about screen burn. Also Wikipedia confirms OLED displays burn in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_burn-in#Plasma_.26_LCD_.26_OLED

Oh...I just knew that blue colour will fade with time, not that it can burn in. But this happens when something like a logo is displayed for hours every day. I doubt that this effect is meant to happen with a phone display that is off most of the time and when it's switched on it displays a lot of different pictures and apps.
Hmm...I would definitely try to get a replacement -I won't accept a burned in screen.
Blimey this is like Plasma Display burn-in all over again....
Glad I have an HD7 then
Returning a phone for repair is so much hassle tho it can takes aggess and may even lose all my data on the phone (hmm unless latest update has that backup thingy) i'll leave it for now see if it gets anyworse! Other super amoled people beware!
Bought my Omnia 7 in germany and have also experienced a small form of burn in when I am surfing the web.
The 2 circles leave a burn in when I slide up the IE options bar. This fades away over time and is the same type of behaviour as on plasma TVs.
I wouldnt worry much about it if it fades away. Turn off your phone and check if the marks are still there! I am certain that they wont be!
But if they are ... get it fixed.
Hi, just a suggestion... Try to enter LCD test via samsung codes.. Search on this forum for samsung codes..
Yes, screen burn in is common with Super AMOLED screens. However, you shouldn't have a problem unless you leave your phone on (set to the highest brightness with a static image visible) for hours on end.
I've seen a large number of Galaxy S screens with imprinted icons on them, and the reason for that was because they were left on for hours.

I see you are on orange. Any warranty claim i have had with orange has resulted in a new handset being at my door the following morning. Pretty quick service.
I saw this on the Display Focus at my local AT&T. they have the demo mode going, so when it's not being payed with on top it always says Windows Phone and it got burned on.

Burn-in is actually the end results of some pixels faded more than others. So, yeah, blue color will easily have burn-in effect since it only lasts about 2000 hours.
I know that retuning the phone for repair will cause you wait for ages but there is not another way for it..So you should copy your private data in your laptop or any other storage device .So it will be kept safe with you...
Well i had the worst combination then because i had the blue theme setting and i decided to keep my brightness on full! so thats what caused it then!

Exactly. On my Captivate (Android), I found most of the wall papers on Android are blue themed. In early days of Nexus One, it was reported that using a red theme not only saves your blue pixels but also saves battery.
In comparison (2,000 hrs of Blue pixel life), modern plasma TVs typically has 80,000 to 100,000 hours of phospher life. So, AMOLED/OLED screen is way to easy to get burn in. The only saving grace is most ppl already move on to new phones well before all these panel life span issues show up.
I've uploaded some pics! One is not much use, i was amazed how microscopic my cheap webcam was!!!! but still it woulds seem the dark patch is growing and hmm i didnt know that about the blue pixels! wont be using that again!

G3 charger overheated the USB port, glad it didn't catch the phone on fire.

Album of pics:
http://imgur.com/a/IwDMx
The back cover melted where the USB port is located and it caused distortion to the pixels in the lower part of the screen.
This was with the charger that came with the phone.
Here are a few of them (hidden by default because they're pretty big):

My charger has been getting very hot to the touch as well. Is this a defect with the charger or the phone?
Holy crap thanks for the heads up and sorry about your phone. Running stock ROM?
Glad I use a wireless charger. Also that USB cable that came with the phone is waaaay to thick and bulky, it feels like it will break my USB port, so I just use my thin Samsung cable when on the go, no problem so far.

I'm thinking it was a faulty component in the regulator circuit in the phone... Considering the amount of power phones these days require and store, it seems fairly universal for phones to get pretty hot while charging unfortunately.

I've been trying to email them all day through their support form, but it keeps saying the submission form is unavailable:
Kinda annoying hah. If I still can't get anything through soon, I'm going to call when I get a chance later tonight.
Well thats confidence inspiring.
I would speak to a manager with T-Mobile and make a post on G+ T-Mobile section. Usually when I've seen this it's with aftermarket batteries or the maybe the wrong charger. I've noticed phone charger get warm at times better never hot. Then again the cheap hockey puck wireless chargers got real hot. I sent them back. They didn't work. My wireless Tylt charger gets my phone warm sometimes.

Were you having any trouble charging before? For example did your phone charge super slow/fast? Or did it completely lose charge overnight?

Thanks. I just did a "live chat" with them a little bit ago. It was not particularly helpful, as I want to make sure they're aware that this could be a fire hazard. It was actually incredibly frustrating... I'm tempted to post the log of the chat. The representative said the same thing four or five different times and then I gave up. And, I'm 99% sure he didn't look at the pictures I linked in the chat.

I'm seriously considering making some sort of post on G+ now, mainly directed at LG, because I'm really frustrated with their support as of now. I still can't send an email (getting the same error message), their consumer support phone lines close at 12 CST, and the chat I had a little while ago was pretty ridiculous. I'm probably going to have to get the phone exchanged through T-Mobile, but still, LG should know about the problem in case it isn't isolated... I also don't think it's reasonable for me to have to pay T-Mobile, or LG for that matter, to get this replaced... and I'm betting they'd send a refurbished phone anyways.
Getting really fed up with the situation already.

BAD ASS G3
I just made a Google+ post (here). Hopefully they'll respond.
I just read your story and wanted to let you know that tmobile offers loaner phones not sure of the cost. I know its not right that you need to pay for a loaner when its their issue but maybe they will reimberse you. And have you contacted tmobile about an exchange. They send you a replacement then you send defective unit back in the same box that new phone came in and shipping is already paid.

Thanks for the heads up. I re-shared it there and to the LG and a couple of the LG G3 communities as well.
Well, I finally ended up posting on Twitter and Facebook.
Tweet. So far, only T-Mobile's support commented on it.
Facebook post. LG actually acknowledged it, but it seems like kind of a cookie cutter response.
More importantly, this apparently happened to someone else on Reddit a few days after it happened to me. So I'm not sure how isolated of an issue it is anymore...
I think you've given LG enough notice and time. May be time to go to the media, see if that doesn't light a fire under them.
Oh no I di'int!

Who else has backlight bleed?

There have been a few reports on Reddit of backlight bleed in demo units. Personally, one of my Raspberry Rose units has the backlight bleed (between the home and app switcher buttons, aka circle and square) and the other does not. I created a form to get an idea if this issue is widespread (like the G2x) or if maybe it's just an early batch problem or it's really not a problem and just a few flawed units. Please contribute to the form either way, the more data the better.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...FaGANnb1DlA_gATnM9EYXKxg/viewform?usp=sf_link
For reference, this is a bad case of the backlight bleed:

Sorry! It's not noticeable on certain screens, seems like solid white/light gray is most prone to showing it. My G2x didn't have much bleed, but that had a whole class action lawsuit against it.

Light bleed is a complaint on a lot of devices even tv's.
I as well have the light bleed in that same exact spot. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though. To be honest, I think it's mainly an LG thing to have something slightly wrong with their displays. I've had their v10 and every flagship after that besides the v30 and they always had that slight light bleed issue

Yeah, but at least the V10/20 had a secondary backlight with a weird screen design to blame it on. I'd actually understand it more if the bleed on this one was around the notch, the bottom doesn't make much sense.

I think it does since the bottom is where all the ports are.
There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed on mine. Right at the bottom of the screen, just like in your picture. Just not nearly as bad. In fact, I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Picked up a gray one from T-Mobile yesterday.

I had a small mark at the exact same spot as the OP so I will be exchanging mine at Tmobile when they open in 2 hours.
In my experience, bleeding does spread over time. I am on Jump on Demand and will probably only keep this for less than 6 months but still, now that I have noticed the spot, it will drive me nuts.
Yep, new one is flawless
why is that more with the gray one ?
Well, thanks for that. Just realized I have one in the exact same spot, too. I don't think it will drive me nuts, but now I know it's there.
im on HK/SG set. my screen is perfect.. no such issue
I have the light bleed as well, I bought mine off craigslist and now I can't even walk into a store to exchange. So looks like I'm screwed and can't even exchange. And I don't know if LG will do anything if I contact them. They rejected my LG promise registration for 2nd year warranty since I didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer.

Yellowish tint on screen?

Might be being paranoid due to 2 XL screen issues but has anyone notice a yellowish tint to the screen? It almost seems like off axis is more pure white and looking directly on is a warmer white if that makes sense. Might try to take pics but not sure I can capture it.
I haven't noticed any hardware problems with the display yet, although I do have black clipping in movies.
Instead of starting a new thread I decided to post my issue here because it's screen related. I don't have any yellow hue with my screen. I unfortunately have a pinkish hue on the right side of my phone. I saw it immediately after powering up for the first time. Kinda reminds me of the S8+ fiasco. It's just in the right side and starts about the middle of the screen and heads up to the top. I called Google and they took my issue very seriously. They wanted pictures and it's a very hard thing to capture with a video or pic but they said they could see it in one of the pics I sent. They have me play some white screen YouTube video and wanted a picture while that was playing. Anyways, they took my info about the issue to some higher ups and called me back about an hour and a half later. The person I dealt with was nice but a bit pushy with getting pic results. He was concerned about some widespread issue because the phone was just released. So he said that these panels have some color shifting (ok? Already went over that) but offered to send out a new replacement. That is me basically buying another and not getting charged unless my original phone isn't returned on time. I'm very disappointed with the screen having this issue. I went through the whole blue screen last year. I had to get two replacements until I received a "good one." Anyone else having screen issues with color?
Sorry to hear about your yellowish screen issue. If you aren't happy with it I'd return it. There are a few friends of mine that have great screens
Here is what I'm noticing. Maybe that's just the way it is and it's something I've never noticed before. The funny thing is I have a Xs Max and the Pixel looks better. Interestingly enough the second picture (pure white) looks similar to the Xs max if true tone is turned off.

My display is great. Beautiful. I'm grateful too because I went through 7 2 XL's before I found one with a display I could deal with.
Adaptive brightness, if on, will turn the screen yellowish in low light conditions.
Otherwise, I didn't notice anything since I received the phone today. I've been using it all day.
Nope, mine has been fantastic. Looks great.
Going to have to go check other devices in store. Can't tell if what I'm seeing is normal without another unit to compare.

+1 I've seen some "comparisons" saying the 3 was warmer than the 3XL they saw. I'm opposite here. Received a 3 before launch day. Nice, cool screen (which is my preference). Phone felt way too small for me so I picked up a 3XL at Best Buy yesterday. Quite a bit warmer than the 3. Returning that one today haha.

Haha If it's noticeable straight away and takes away the enjoyment of the screen then a swap is the best way. I've had devices from Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, Google etc and I've had bad tints or uneven whites on them all..so part of the oled game

This is how you get rid of the message at the bottom of your screen (Note10/Note10+/Note10 5G) when you are charging your device:
1. Download this wallpaper: https://mega.nz/#!FogyWSxS!z6fV8XsrWK5LbOZxo4aV7Q3_BhH6yjM5sDW08zIGn5I
2. Create a folder on your phone, eg "Screensaver"
3. Place the downloaded image in "Screensaver"
4. Go to: Settings -> Display -> Screensaver -> Select Photo frame -> Select Screensaver
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Done!

If you have gestures without hints turned on, you don't even have to download a wallpaper. Just set screensaver to Photo, but don't point it toward your Google photos. No pic to display, it will just show a blank screen.
I get why people would want to get rid of the informative text at the bottom.
I don't find it annyoing at all, I even find it useful. Quick and good way, IMO, to replace the LED.

In my car on my wireless charger it's great, at night in my pitch black room not so much.
Honestly if you're worried about burn-in then you will be using this phone for far too long...

Depends on your definition of "far too long."
Depends how long you usually keep a phone. Most payment plans are 24-36 months. Major update as tend to come every other year. So what's far too long?
Depends on if you leave it on the charger for hours or just occasional top off.
Depends on other screen activity that might counteract that burn in.
Depends on how much the OLED technology has improved to combat burn in.
I mean, people are buying $3000 OLED TVs and getting burn in on their screens in under a year. So is, what...10 months far too long? 6 months? A week? 2 years?
May not be for everyone but if you have S View Cover, you can disable AOD only when the cover is closed! There is a settings option for that.
No burn in, no workarounds.

I barely see it at night on a really dark room. But my AOD is set to auto-brightness so it could also come into play ?

I'm not that afraid of burn-in since I don't have the phone charging all the time and that the text is realtively visible (dark brightness) but I can imagine for other people to have it disabled because of that.

I keep seeing this an answer answer but how much does it move ? The main display moves between the the middle and top of the screen. Where does the charging indicator go?
Edit:
Nevermind I saw it. After the screen sleeps it defaults to the center but after awhile it shifts to the left or right

Really? I always wake up and the fully charged message and the icon are always in the same spot. hmm
Mine never moves. And even if it moves just a pixel or two, you'll still wind up with burn in, because that leaves the majority of the pixels stationary. Plus they're just moving over the same spots over and over again.

I don't have that setting but when I close sview cover (led) the screen is off with no text whilst charging and AOD is on
The battery info in charging mode , does move i myself tested this stood in front of it in my room with the lights out , and it does move from middle to left to right , i stared this for about 15 minutes to 20 minutes, and yes i got bored staring at it but it does move, so yall should not be worrying about burn in.
