When I had my original Droid I used it as my alarm clock which meant that the screen was turned on all night. I want to do this with my nexus so my question is does anyone know if this will cause screen burn? It would be on the lowest brightness and a mostly black display. I haven't been able to find a concrete answer searching around.
Been doing this with an AMOLED N1 for eighteen months, with the Screensaver clock on normal brightness, without issue.
Can't see it being a problem for you.
That's good to know, I was wondering the same thing.

I want to use smart alarm, but don't like the idea of leaving my screen on all night. Is there anyway to get around this requirement, or another app that i just don't know about?
Klaxon does not require you to leave the screen on as well as the stock (Sense) alarm.
Nevermind...
Ummm haha confused now

I've been using mine as an alarm clock with the screen on and the backlight on low every night for about 3 months now. I've noticed no ill effects. I was under the impression that LCD screens are immune to "burn-in" and the LED backlight should have a really long life, so I haven't been too worried about it.
Huh? I use mine as an alarm clock but it doesn't require me to leave screen on.

The smart alarm requires the screen to be on because of a bug in android that turns the accelerometer off when the screen goes off. It is one of those 'smart' alarms that is supposes to sense the sleep cycle.
I think I will use it with the screen on for a while. I want to see of these alarms really work.

leaving the screen on is not a problem. the evo does not have an AMOLED screen, it uses LCD. the O in AMOLED is subject to deterioration and will get burn in the more the screen is used and the brighter the screen is.
LCD does not suffer this. go ahead and leave the screen on.
Thanks everyone!
hello i have just gotten an tmobile g2, this is my second one, the first one had bad pixels, but anyways. i have noticed that the screen on the g2 seems a little low. like the colors are alot warmer than that to my hd2. so i guess we can call it that the screen has Color Saturation is this how the phone is suppose to be? or is there a problem? or is there a way to boost the backlight ? (yes i have brightness 100% question is can we get it past 100%)
thanks in advance

Hey guys, I'm thinking this is simply a common drawback from having an amoled screen, but I just wanted to be sure. While using auto brightness in a dark room (e.g., during bedtime) the brightness level on my device is properly turned down, but I've noticed that when looking at applications that use a black background there will be a lagging "purple smudge" when scrolling or sliding through an application. I first noticed this while using the Yahoo Fantasy Football app in bed. Again, I read that this may be a common problem with phones that have amoled screens but I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one with some sort of defect. Are you guys experiencing this?
I have used several amoled screen phones and have never had an issue like that. I now have a note 4 as well and I'm not experiencing anything like that. I tried to recreate your condition as best I could and I'm not seeing it..... good luck with that one!
yeah, it always happens on amoled. s4, s5, and the galaxy tab s has it. it's just how it's always been

Nothing to be worried about. All I have had have done this and the note 4 is no different. Just remember, it's the BEST display available on a phone right now... or so I have read
mine is so terrible, its making me crazy! specially when watching a movie, its all purple, it started the day after i bought it and now got terrible ! my movies get all purple :|(not that much but really annoying)
I'm having the same problem on my note 4 (SM-N910C) after the lollipop update... It's making me very angry! At least on my device the effects seem to be rather substantial... I'm sure this wasn't happening on kitkat...
Anyone else having this problem?
So I tried to reproduce this and under no circumstances does my phone exhibit this under auto brightness.
Though no matter how dark it is my phone will only drop brightness to about ~15-20%.
Even if I drop the brightness down to 2-5% manually it does not exhibit the purple lag.
For my device... only at the absolute minimum brightness does it exhibit this behavior.
If your device is exhibiting this kind of behavior what brightness level is it actually at?
Hello everyone.
First of all I'd like to state that I'm a massive noob on this forum, so if I'm being stupid for not finding a thread about this subject yet, please refer me to it. My apologies.
I've recently bought my LG G3 like 2 months ago. Now, I'm the type of person that likes perfection, so I've already tweaked my phone to the max (without 'hacking' into the system though), for as far as I'm concerned.
I was wondering if any of you know an app or trick to always show a digital clock on the screen, even when it's locked (untouched). I've read on forums that a lot of people complain about battery draining owing to the latter. Though I'm searching for just a tiny, dimmed clock on top of my screen so I can always look up the time without even tapping the screen. My logics tell me that those few pixels used will never really benefit to massive battery draining, and even if it would, I'm still curious whether it's possible yes or no.
I've tried the NoLED app. But like most apps, this is just another Daydream tweaker, which obviously is not what I'm looking for.
So in conclusion, I'm looking for a tiny little clock destined for the top of my screen, always visible, dimmed (to save battery life), not in the way Daydream does (since this leaves the entire screen on [draining more battery life than my idea IMO]).
Anyone know a trick, app or tweak to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!!

With the LCD screen on the G3 (and most other phones), you can't really do what you want. Whenever the screen is on, the backlight is turned on for the entire screen. So even if the clock only takes a tiny bit of screen, the backlight will use the same amount of power as if the clock took the whole screen.
Only OLED screens, as used on Samsung, Moto, and the Nexus 6 allow the device to light only specific pixels.
