[Q] Jellybean 4.1.1 Status Bar and Navy Bar burn ins? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

OK, so ever since I've been using the stock ROM for jellybean, I've been noticing a burn-in on the screen when I view media, play games, or anything that hides the two. I've never seen this happen on any other Android OS. I was wondering if maybe you guys had the sane problem and some way to fix it because its getting really annoying. I was thinking about it and maybe its because of the new Project Butter and how the display updates a lot and since the status bar and Nav bar never really change their position on the screen it would cause a burn in. So, I was wondering if you guys have a fix for this? Thanks in advance

There are so many threads on burn in I am not sure where to start...
Some people have experienced what you are calling burn in and others like me have not noticed it at all. You could try getting a screen wipe app and see if that clears it up.

Yeahhhh that's exactly what I'm talking about. Is there any way to fix it?

Meh doesn't bother me, its not that bad. Earlier phones like the nexus one had worse looking burn in.

I've had my nexus since February and have a blueish tint on the bottom half of the screen from the keyboard. Its only noticeable in low light when the screen brightness is turned down low.

thats burnin from nav bar and status bar.

Hide your top and bottom bars fellas, that's what I do.

In the browser I hide the notification screen, but the nav bar I don't.

Slight Darkening

Anyone notice this? At the top of screen, right under the Status Bar, there seems to be some intentional darkening.
I know it's not the screen, because it shows up in screen shots and if you drag the photo around down to the middle of your screen, the darkened horiztonal line still shows right under the status bar.
No a big deal really, but slightly annoying. Check the posted screen shots (anyone's) and then look at yours.
Why would they do that?

It most likely is a software issue. The Nexus S had screen issues that were corrected with a software update from Google. Once we get root we can use voodoo colors and set the screen color to our liking.

I think hes talking about the vertical lines everyone is discussing in the other thread. Its just the way the screens are. Some are more noticeable then others.

No it's a horizontal line and it's not a screen defect. It's definitely software related and I believe it only shows on the home screen and lock screen
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Actually it shows anywhere the status bar or any type of header bar shows, like the orange bar on the top of the xda app. I think it was by design to have a shadow come from the top bar.

[Q] nearly one year old gnex. Screen burn in?

Noticed yesterday. At the top of the screen where the status bar is and at the bottom where buttons are.
Turned on film on Netflix and noticed blueish tint in those places.
Does anyone else is having this as well ?
Is there NY way of stopping it ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
as far as i know the Gnex screen is an amoled screen not LCD. i didn't think amoled's could suffer from burn. don't quote me on it
AMOLED screens can get burn-in faster than LCDs... I rotate the screen and use it in landscape mode very often, to avoid such problems... It is good to use lower brightness too...

I use LMT Launcher and hide the navbar
but still have the same problem at the status bar
wow, i looked it up and yeah, it's the opposite of what i thought. here i was thinking amoled was better than lcd. i'm pretty shocked
Yes, eventually you wil see a burn-in effect on the navbar and status bar if you rotate the phone to landscape. I see it on my 9 months old gnex. Doesn't bother me enough to consider it an issue.

I've heard if you put an image on the screen that is just a blank white photo it will take the burn out. I'm not sure but I've heard it before

Even if that works, the burn in would soon return because the position of the navbar and status bar are on the same spot 95% of the time.

This is why I hide top and bottom bars. Amoled burns in very easily.

Would anyone know if the Samsung warranty covers this?
Screw hiding it, had enough of that in my nexus one days. I see a bit of blueish tint, nothing too drastic.

I very much doubt warranty covers a vaguely noticeable burn-in effect, that only shows if the phone is rotated in certain views with certain backgrounds.

Action bar and status bar

Is there a way to make my action bar and status bar white instead of black? I don't want the screen there to get ruined like I keep hearing.

I don't see how white would prevent burn in.

Turn off your screen.
Find a ROM that can disable the navigation bar and use button savior. Also, some ROMS have built in status bar transparency.
I believe there are themes on the gnex that do this, makes more sense on the nexus 7 though being its an lcd.

Whoa, you're so smart. Thank for that's smartass.

White would likely make the burn in worse than black.
In froyo the status bar was white, with gingerbread it changed to black to prevent burn in and IMO made it look better.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
In fact you misses the whole point. Black prevents burn in as they are not being lit up in amoled screens. White on the contrary would do the exact opposite.

even with black, i find it hard to believe that software could make that to a screen, if the screen itself wasn't damaged in the first place. how else could we explain some screens being affected and others don't?

What does this even mean? Simply put depending on your usage (How often you have the screen on, which orientation, more full screen apps etc) you may or may not have burn in. I personally changed the navbar icon colour for aesthetics more than anything but if you're that worried about burn in then just change the colour to black, it's not like we actually look at the icons after you're used to the layout.
Well I just learned something thank you lol.

Honestly.....

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart
Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

Top of screen.

Anyone notice the top of the screen above the notification bar, the light? Its a line above it. Drives me nuts. Its hard to explain.

Could also be ROM related ... Don't remember on which ROM it was actually, but I had a bright line somewhere around the notification area ...
Mmm, if it's is a custom rom maybe it could be the battery bar (try to look if it decrease at battery decreasing). Then you've only to disable it in the settings (probably you've turned on without noticing if it's the case).

This was what I was thinking as well...Its the only time I've ever seen a line on mine with any of the ROMs I've run
It is definitely not there on stock, so it is either your ROM or a hw failure.
It's not on stock. That's annoying.

Well, and on which rom happens? Does it happens on everyone you have tried?
