I can't believe Google was so stupid as to design ON-SCREEN buttons and not foresee screen burn-in issues.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can fix Google's mistake?
If only there was a way to keep the Navigation Menu always hidden and then only make it appear when we need to use it...sort of like how you can hide the Windows Start bar and when you move your mouse, it animates into view on top of everything else.
Maybe, we can use the proximity sensor to show or hide the Navigation Menu? Like, when you swipe your hand over the sensor, it shows or hides it. Or, maybe make it shake activated? Like just shake your phone and the Navigation Menu appears/disappears. If it's shake activated, then we should make it so we can adjust the shake sensitivity because not everyone shakes the same.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to solve this? Please post them!
I hope Google tracks this thread and patents and uses our ideas. Or else, give us tactile or capacitive buttons in the next Nexus!

I'm sure there is a ROM or two that does this. I know one for the N7 has that feature... I think it was Glazed. Maybe their GNex ROM has it also.
I haven't had any screen burn-in issues in 8 months of owning the phone so unfortunately I can't help there. good luck.

Like 98% of the issues around here I've never had this problem. Sometimes I think I'm the only person with a problem free Nexus. Nevertheless, jaseglenn4 has a thread discussing this. You'll find some info there, good luck:

I have screen retention with my keyboard and that's about it.
Sometimes it's fairly noticeable, sometimes it's not, not bothering me enough to get it replaced.
I just changed my habits so that I rotate the screen 90° to the right whenever I use landscape (web browsing and lots of other things) so as to switch the menu to the opposite side. I figure with that usage pattern it'll take twice as long to notice any burn in.
With low brightness settings in most cases I figure this'll be longer than I expect to keep the phone anyway.

I heard a myth that if you had screen burn in issue you can reduce it by setting a fullscreen white image, crank it up to max brightness and leave it there for 1-2 hours.. it's not gone but it'll be reduced..
Can someone confirm this?

Yes some roms have the expandable desktop option to make it full screen. I see some people use that and LMT so they don't have to use nav bar instead just gestures to move around phone
Don't ever buy a phone with an amoled display again. *solved*
good day.
It's not going to burn in. Your screen would have to be on for days and days consecutively, nonstop, with the keys never hiding or changing position. And even then with the stock color of the keys it's even less likely.

Has anyone got burned in images of the buttons on their phone right now? Or is this a "this might happen" question? Have been using mine for a good few months now and there is no sign of this issue!

I think the reason Google made the virtual keys grey is for this reason solely. It's not full white so there shouldn't be able burn-in issues.
I commonly see image-retention (keyboard shadows etc.) but not burn-in. I highly doubt anyone has the latter.

Soooo, this is a non-issue. Good to know!
You have any idea how long it takes for burn in to occurred? Last time I try, it took a week or two, with the screen on 24/7 to get a little burn in on my laptop LCD display. It went away after I turn off the screen for a night.
For the nexus to have a burn-in onscreen button happened? Good luck with that.
Neither mine or my gf's have this issue. Now my nexus 7....it has it bad....

What's the difference between image-retention and burn-in?
The issue I'm seeing is that when the screen is white or a light color, I can see where the Navigation Menu used to be (when I hide it).
I hide top and bottom bar so I avoid any burn in.

burn in is a lot easier on amoled displays....
your comparison makes no sense
I have seen a little retention but nothing i would worry about. Usually goes away after a few seconds.
Personally i love the on screen nav buttons.

How do you hide the nav bar?
I did a search on this and found others asking and frustrated but no answers. Perhaps someone here can lead me in the right direction.
I notice the annoyance of this in landscape mode and I am talking about the s-pen auto scroll. Lets say you are using Dolphin browser and you want to type something in the keyboard pepper up taking 50% of the screen The tabs of the browser take Up another 15% . This leaves a small window to Work in. When you use the s-pen to scroll around auto-scroll jvmqs around at full speed this makes it difficult to use the pen to click on the next box.
Anyone had this problem?

Scroll down and you will see an option to disable SPen auto scroll. It drived me crazy too until I found it
Is there a hack that enabled the pen window to be smaller? Currently It looks like the pen window takes at least 1/2 x 1/2 of the screen.
For a calculator, I would be happy to have a much smaller window.
A second, related question is about a media app that works well on the pen window. I'd like to easily be able to start/step/select music while reading a PDF.
(Reading notes while hearing the matching music). I'm using ES File explorer, but everything is much too small. It is hard to hit the right buttons. I'd like an app that displays nice big buttons in a small window. Does that exist?
Thanks a lot!
If I click the Spen on the screen and choose pen window I can draw the window any size I want.
My question is how can I add apps I might want to open in the pen window?

Strange. On my Note 10.1, no matter how small I try to draw the window, the smallest it can be is a quarter of the screen.

There's an app that can enable any apk for working in the window. It is called MW-PEN App Enabler. Look for a thread discussing it.
Thanks.....I'm stock 100%. If that makes a difference I don't know.....

I'm stock, too. rom version MK1. Can you make sure that the window can be as small as you want?
Is that for the original size of the window, or also for resizing? When I try to resize my window smaller than 1/4 of the screen, it stops
resizing, and the edges turn red (resize by dragging the corners/edges)
It looks like it depends on the app, 1/4 of the screen to bit smaller.....The pen app, mw pen will not work for me. Sounds like each tablet is a little different.....

The MW app is not totally trivial to get working.
First pick an installed app. Click 'Pen Window enable'. Then click process. Then click uninstall. Then click Install.
it's driving we mad, sometime when I try to scroll chrome starts to zoom instead.
anyone getting this behavior ?

I sometimes experience something similar in ezPDF reader. I zoom around in a document, and once it is in zooming mode, I can zoom with one finger. Maybe this is related.
Meaning, if you just zoomed around, take a quick stop before scrolling. Maybe this works.
I'm not sure, can one activate zooming by double tapping? This would explain a bit more.

interesting, looks like double tapping activates zoom and looks like sometimes zoom is registered as double tapping ...

I've got to try this once I get home from work. Curious if this is a feature instead of a bug
Just did a quick search in google and found multiple results stating the following for chrom (beta?):
To perform a one-hand zoom simply double tap and, after the second tap, leave your finger pressed. You can then move your finger up and down to zoom in an out.
So it's a feature.

Well, it depends. I tried yesterday night. I zoomed into web pages one fingered (on purpose), and I must say, it has something going for it. Gotta see if I like this feature on a daily basis.
Certainly, if you know about it and use it on purpose it's at least much better than stumbling over it thinking it could be a bug
So I've been fooling around with my spen on different apps. Originally I could use spen gestures on the samsung internet app. As of lately it seems all I can do set the button... I dont understand why this is. If I'm missing something please point it out.
