Has anyone else got screen burn on their Gnex? Looking at mine it looks like the notification bar and soft key location is their a fix for this issue?

Had this too, found out about it two days trying to watch the avengers.
Same locations, it seems hiding the notification bar and navbar fix the issue temporarily. I also heard using white fixes this too.
I haven't noticed this in cwm yet but I feel ashamed this has happened on a near one month old nexus.
Funny you can see the natural colors where the burn in comes in.

Well the use of amoleds is whats shocking. My incredible got plagued by this, looked horrible on anything black. Always saw my status bar odd images and anything else. I'm hoping it isn't as bad on the nexus but from what I'm seeing it doesn't differ

How did this burn thing happen... Is it because u rooted and flash a custom ROM or it can happen to any galaxy nexus
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Burn in happens when the small LEDs on our screens don't get changed around often enough and they burn in.
Sometimes it is savable by using an app that flashes through the entire RGB spectrum, but sometimes not even that will help it.
How offen you need to hide status bar to prevent burn in for avarage screen time for example 4 hours a day? And is transparent status bar safe or it is just better than stock status bar.
Ugh I'm having burn in issues too on mine, oddly though its only the status bar, if i hide the home buttons there's absolutely no burn in that spot which is weird considering the nav bar stays up even more often than notifications. (I do a lot of web surfing and some games mainly so in theory the nav bar is on more)
I think I heard maybe 2-3 hours. Transparency will help a lot but the icons on the bar will burn too. From my understand blue burns in easily..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You guys are getting the whole thing wrong. The burn in is not occurring on the notification bar and navigation panel. On the contrary...the burn in is on the remaining screen. Meaning that the pixels on the remaining screen have been degrading due to use of maximum brightness full time and what u see is the difference.
The black colour on our screens cannot cause burn in. In fact black on amoled is the only color where the pixels are not lit when in use.

Oh, that is most of on screen time. It really kills the purpose of status bar. But I have white icons on black background so I hope it is better than stock blue icons

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.

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!
On the MOAR thread, there was some discussion about dark themes and battery life. there were references posted, and some confusion about whether or not the brightness of the colors made a difference.
I decided to do a simple test to confirm. this was done on an older phone, but I figured i might as well put the issue to bed - at least in my midn.
so I put the phone on airplane mode, turned of wife and gps, and turned off the motion sensors. I then took a picture without any light - a black picture. I took a copy of the picture and advanced edited it to be completely white.
The result was a picture showing a black screen, and another showing a white screen.
I charged the time to 100%. I set the timer for 30 minutes, and put on the black screen. The screen timeout was for 10 minutes, so I had to touch the screen a few times to keep it away. I recorded the battery findings, and then charged the phone back up again. I then ran the same test with a white screen.
The black screen led to battery readings of 95% and battery voltage of 4187 mV. the white screen had a battery percentage of 87%, 4088 mV.
So my conclusion is having dark images on the screen really does lead to a modest increase in battery life.
Very nice test. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, black and dark colors save battery on the S3 since it has an AMOLED screen. Same does not apply to LCD screens.
This is good info, so if you extrapolate this out over an entire charge it is a significant difference.

I am going to check some out. I currently just use the inverted GMail and messaging. I personally tend to like the darker themes more anyways so the battery life is a bonus :good:
Thanks!
Thanks! I love dark themes. Great to know that battery life is better with them
Thanks for the info. I'm running Wicked V5.0 wicked blue which is a pretty dark theme. I also have a completely black wallpaper and can definitely tell a difference in battery life.
Only dark colors aren't enough. You need a lot of pure black in your themes for this to work. Because if your theme just has dark grey or something that means those pixels are still on and thus using power. Only in pure black do the pixels turn off completely which helps in saving power.
I repeated the experiment. but instead of using a black screen, I used a gray screen. started at 100 % for both. 4360 mV. The gray screen went to 4186 mV - 94%. The white screen went to 4108 mV - 90%.
This time I used tasker to keep the screen on for the entire 30 minute trial (so no need ot touch screen or worry about the screen autodimming), and pumped up the screen brightness to 100% for both runs. otherwise did the same as on the OP.
I would have to run this 3 times to do a statistical analysis. I don't plan on doing this. Nevertheless, my conclusion is the same - dark screens (not necessarily black screens) have a modest improvement in battery life.
That's great info. I'll have to give it a try.

Kinda don't know why there's another post about dark stuff saving battery life. It's common sense that lighter or brighter colors on a screen use more energy than dark and blacks which use a lot less.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
I have all possible options that can auto-control the screen brightness unchecked, and the mode set to Dynamic (even if it's on any other one too), and my brightness set at 45 (again this doesn't matter as I changed it to other brightnesses), but I still see the brightness auto-adjust from time to time. It doesn't matter what app I'm in, or just looking at the home screen. Does anyone else have this happen? Is there a way to make it stay where I have it set? It's not really annoying, but I do notice it, and would like it to stay put.
I had this happen on the S4 and note 3. Supposedly it's a Samsung thing. I did see this though

It's happening to me I made a thread on it too, I've called Sammy and done everything I could I think it's a software issue or one of the sensors is jacked up. In any event I gave it a few days and it's not getting any better it's very annoying to me so I'm returning my phone and getting another one just to make sure it's not a hardware issue. It's the only reason I haven't rooted yet

Listen to what i wrote i said im returning it to rule out hardware issues, if the new device does it then its definitely software and illl wait for some kind of an update or wait for a dev to get a handle on it. S4 from doing research had the same issues so yes most likely its software but i have to rule out hardware by returning it and getting a new device. My Note 2 did not do this so im assuming its a TW 4.3 issue

Conclusion: It's not a phone defect.
I have done some testing, and concluded (at least for me) it is software/hardware combo as said previously (heating up). Since I have the phone set up exactly how I want it (rooted and all), and I really don't want to return it since the phone itself is perfect (no physical defects with buttons, screen, etc), I kept a really good watch on when it does it, and it only does it after I have the screen on for like an hour or so, and the phone itself gets warm/hot. If the temp stays below 95F the brightness stays constant. Only if it gets up in the 100s I start to see it, so I do believe it's auto-dimming to cool off the phone. I can live with that since it doesn't get that hot all the time. Mostly playing games, or heavy browsing on the web using desktop mode, and when it does do it the change is slight. I only really notice it on white screens. I was worried since I thought it was a defect, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm super happy with this beast. Best phone I ever owned.
On a related note I do remember my GSII doing it on TW. After I put CM on it I never saw it.

No lux is not the answer I tried that too. I just got my new phone after returning it and it does the same thing . As BobbyPhoenix stated I think it's software related too and it's when the phone gets warm and I think how much it adjusts is based on how hot it gets. I guess I'll have to live with it because I love this phone the screen when full blast puts all others to shame. Hopefully a dev will have a workaround soon

My wife's S3 does the same on Lux, maybe acts a little different but basically overall it's schizophrenic. It's possible it's goofier with Lux installed. Now there is another layer to manage.

I have burn in here. Had the phone since the 20th. It's faint but definitely noticeable on the nav and notification bar.
Is there a way we can prevent this? A way to hide the nav bar? I think I can notice mine faintly too .. extremely faint but still.. troubling.
OMG. Your screens do not have burn in! At least from that webpage test. Do you see an image left when you lock the phone? If not, then there is no burn in!!
True test...go to that page and notice the "faint" notification icons. Then change your notification icons and try the webpage test again. Is the "burn in" different? If so, you don't have burn in!

Galaxy Note10 TIP:
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

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.
