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 ?

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.

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.

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.

Whenever my screen displays a black color in a certain few spots,you can see a weird black spot underneath that looks like oil leaking into the screen. You can only see this when the screen is dark and everything else works fine. Do you think this will be a big problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
All amoled phones have that. It looks like an ink spots or blotches. You can only see it in a pitch black room. Its not a problem and shouldn't be noticeable during regular use. You can get an app called LCD screen test if you really want to see the blotches in a dark room
..but I wouldn't worry about it!

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.

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.

I'm not sure if this is just my phone or its like this on everyone else's phone.
The screen has a general yellow tint throughout the entire screen when viewed in portrait mode. This generally is ok with me if it's even throughout.. However when I turn the screen clockwise to the landscape mode, and there is a clear white band without any yellow tint approximately a quarter of an inch wide on the left side of the screen. If I reverse the orientation such that I turn the phone 180 degrees to the other landscape mode there is another white band but this time only an eighth of an inch or less.
You can test this out opening up the browser to Google since there is a lot of white in that Web page.
Please let me know if it's just my phone or an issue with the nexus in general. I've also tried different rooms and kernels without any differences.

It's defective. Some color misrepresentation is normal, but white bands are not.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if it's a software issue as the band is not there in portrait mode, and only in landscape. And that also changes from landscape in one orientation as compared to 180 degrees in the other direction.

In my eyes yellow tint is what you want. Blue tint means the display is of poor quality,

Preference. Cooler displays and warmer displays. I prefer cooler.
Problem isn't cooler or warmer display. It the fact that when I turn the screen to landscape there is a section on the left that is pure white without the tint.. And it not there when it's turned back to portrait mode.

I see. Well it sure sounds messed up.
Understand it could be a software issue but any sort of banding can't be good might be better if you just sent it to the service centre

You can fix the yellow tint with franco's kernel.

I was also having this issue but after I flashed MiNCO ROM this issue disappeared.
I suggest you to try this ROM it comes with Franco kernel.

If you're talking about the individual pixels that stand out, then you may have a few stuck pixels... not dead pixels... stuck pixels. This is indicative of a damaged and/or defective panel. Truthfully, other than an RMA or replacing the panel, there's not much you can do about this.
However, if you're talking about the black splotches on the screen, that's a frequently occurring anomaly common to OLED displays. It's called miura, and it's perfectly normal. It's not a manufacturing defect and it's not a sign of damage to the panel. Furthermore, it should only be noticeable on a completely black screen and in a nearly pitch black environment, like in a very dark room.
For your sake, I really hope you were talking about the splotches and not the funky pixels. I hope this has been informative and/or useful/helpful. Take care and have a good one man!
