I read that to prevent amoled screens from screen burn in, you have to use a live wallpaper since its not good to have the same static image all the time. How true is this for the gs3?

Not true for start. But if it were, no one leaves the screen at your home screen for any length of time. So it couldn't burn in anyway.

Think about how long you spend at the home screen. I'm guessing not a lot. Stupid to worry about stuff like this.
I guess you guys are right. I had a live wallpaper because I thought I was going to get screen burn in.
Might get an hour less battery. That's about it

I saw the other thread about it....I know it's normal, but is it eventually going to be a problem as far as like watching movies goes? It kind of seemed like the burn-ins were only visible when the background was all a solid color, via a pixel tested app....?

If it gets bad, you'll have a ghost image that you're going to notice all the time, especially since you're now paranoid about it. Basic preventative measures will keep you straight, though, it's not as though it's a recall worthy issue. Max out your brightness and full screen a solid white screen for a couple minutes now and then, hell I'm pretty sure there's actually an app that'll even invert your nav bar, and notification bar for safe measure. Nothing to sweat over, enjoy your phone
I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun

Screen burn ins do not go away over time. That is why it is called burn in. The image is "burned" onto the screen leaving a ghost of what was there.
Well the images could be burned in because they're still being displayed a lot, like the navbar or the keyboard. Like a sunburn, it stays if you stay in the sun, but goes away if you get out of the sun for a week or so.
That's where my reasoning came from... Ah well, millions of people have this "problem", I guess it's really not a big deal.
Thanks for the replies!

Some isn't you can fix some by displaying only white color or things like that
I got my GNex yesterday and am already seeing some minor screen burn in. It looks like a bunch of rectangles along the lower half of the phone. I have 14 days to return it for another one. Should I do it now or wait as long as I can before starting the process?
It's NOT technically the burn in of the lcd days where an image was truly burned in. It's kinda like reverse led fatigue. Take the navbar for example, the leds have much less less usage time on them. So when the full screen is used the leds that are part of the navbar will burn brighter giving the appearance of burn in.
good day.
I see, so the burn in spots are actually less worn than the rest of the display?

So i just bought a used galaxy nexus and have been using for a little while and i keep noticing that it looks the stock arrangement of apps on the home screen are liked burned into the screen. Like i can see them everywhere i can go and more depending on what color the screen is at. Its not software because i booted into CWM and i could seem them. Is this a defect? Or just the nature of the phone? I have tried to take some pictures but they didn't turn out to great......
Here is a link to the high quality version of the picture https://www.box.com/s/bv84z7gu0dsltgzorevi
Normal good sir.
Pretty much any used Galaxy Nexus will have some burn-in, as the display is AMOLED. Happens with all of our Galaxy Nexuses, I guess we kind of just accept it though. lol
The way the Nav Bar sits, we all will probably have it burned in sooner or later, many already have it...
Just as well, look at a black background with the display on and you'll see blotches on the screen, also normal. There's actually a sticky here about what's normal and what's not.

Daydream sounds awesome. I have it displaying the clock while it's charging. My questions is, how much drainage is it doing to the battery while the screen is on?
For instance, if i had the screen completely off, I would have reached 100% in 1 hour rather than 1.5 hours since I have day dream working...?
So how much drainage?

What concerns me more than charging rate is screen degradation, AMOLED screens degrade over time so I wouldn't keep my screen on if I wasn't using it

Are any of the daydreams even static? I assumed that the reason the clock bounces around is to avoid things like burn-in.
The standard one is static, some of the third party ones are not. I really wouldn't worry it too much.

Check again, the standard daydream clock is not static, at least the digital one isn't.

it isn't just about burn in... amoled pixels do degrade over time like another user said,and this is a dangerous way to screw up your screen much quicker.
not a good feature to use on our phone imo
It takes a long time for that to happen there are plenty of people still rocking a Galaxy S1 and the screen is fine but I'm not saying there's no one with problems but I doubt it would mess up by using daydream
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Ya, the digital clock is not static. However, I would worry more about the navigation bar because that thing is gonna stay in landscape mode and I already got a nav bar burn-in in portrait.

depends, is it on overnight? Say you sleep 8 hours that's 8 hours extra the pixels are on per day.
Do the math, it would add up quickly
burn in only occurs when you have an static image in the same place all the time.. daydream move the clock around the screen every few seconds, and with the black background most of the pixels of the screen are off anyway.
so no, there is no danger using daydream.

do you not know about the degradation of amoled pixels over time?
you could end up with dead/stuck pixels a lot earlier than expected.
Hello, I have been having the same issue with my screen on my Galaxy SIII since I bought my first one last february, what is causing it and what is it?
Pictures below, it has just started to develop on this my 4th SIII that of which was a BNIB not one of those replacement ones which my last two replacements were.
Photos below..
The circles start out hardly visible and progress getting darker eventually I have a row of up to 5.

I don't see anything I wouldn't expect to see.
Edit: I see them now. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the image.
I see them, and yeah that would be pretty annoying. Are you using a particular background, or playing a certain game for an extended amount of time that could be causing those to "burn" into the display? Anything along that line of thought?
Is that only noticeable on light background colors or does it get darker with a darker background color?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
It's definitely a game or something causing this. Or background as the above user mentioned. Only issue that's common throughout all of the s3 devices are the ink blots. That circling is really strange. I'm putting my money on it being caused by some sort of burn in from the same image being displayed for too long.

It only starts getting darker and darker and more noticeable. It starts only being noticeable on white to gray screens then on all screens.
I do not use or have any backgrounds or games which have that design.
Would you pay the same amount for an SIII if you saw defects on the screen?
I pay for the warranty so I will make sure my phone is in prestine condition if ever I decide to sell it.

These are amoled displays and with amoled displays after say 3 years of use you get something called "burn in" which make the blue LED lights get dim and dimmer over time which causes the screen to have an off look. You cau can prevent this by keeping your phone on low brightness and changing the screen style to "movie" which reduces the saturation of the colors. Even high end devices like the Note 2 will be eventually affected by this
