Hello forum mates I have my Note 2 since december 2012(9 months) and i was using my display on 100% brightness all the time since i bought it. Today i saw some threads about Burn in and that every amoled display have this issue after using the phone for months/years. I looked at the screen on lower brightness in dark room on all colors and i dont have the issue. My question is will using my phone on max brightness damage it( i wont use it more than 1.5-2 years) or i should put the slider on 50-70%? My screen time almost never goes to 3 hours or more and im more in the gaming and surfing the web than chatting and other stuff like this. Thanks in advance.
PS:I forgot to say I was using it on Dynamic mode but from 2 days im using red pill kernel colors calibration. And sorry for my bad English is my second language.

Hi,
EDIT
Resolved it (kinda), I shut the "Economy mode" and the screen stop the flickering....
---
I'm creating a new thread for this problem got an answer there telling me it's my phone, but I would like to know if somebody else notice this.
It's like on good old CRT. Got a Note I (got stolen) bought a Note 2 and I can see a flickering, like if the display had a 60Hz refresh rate, never notice such a thing with the Note I.
It's more noticeable on white screens. And when you are using peripheral vision, by pointing your eyes like 10 centimeters from the side of the device, the flickering must be more visible
The effect looks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jHOwE8MqA not mine but can give an idea of the problem.
Thanks

Never notice it with my Note I, it seems that it's partly due to AMOLED technology, but as I did not notice it on my Note I...
Maybe it varies form device to device...

Yes I have it, but mine is definitely more severe than yours.

Then why didn't you return it under warranty?
Go to Display > Features > Smart Rotation . Disable Smart rotation and voila the problem is resolved....

Ok, so if you do not own this device the Note 2, and do not want the device, why chime in and post/comments...
My scraan is flickering too. Feels like old CRT TV. When brightness not at 100% level I can observe this problem. Looks like samsung using PWM to control brightness. I think this is terrible. And I hope this can be fixed by software (adjust brightness by gamma correction etc)
mine also sometimes flickering on the lock screen in the near clock area for about 0,5-1 sec. but no need to worry, i guess its a hidden samsung note 2 feature...
So there are no solutions to fix screen flickering? Maybe we can overclock screen somehow? Maybe alternative brightness control?
The screen flicker mus be due to a bad batch of screens. Mine had the screen flickering too. and even with economy mode shut down and brightness is set to less then 100%. if you rapidly move the phone you can see that you see several screens instead of a blurry moving screen. this way you know it flickers. so for example if you move your phone up and down very rapidly instead of seeing a blurry view of the screen you will see several edges of the screen simultaniously. this tells you its flickering. While just looking at the screen you wont actually see the flickering but its somehow disturbing.
The way i know that your screen is defect is because due to a rescent replacement of my screen on my note 2 the flickering is totally gone now.
But keep in mind that my battery usages with screen on has increased. so i think samsung changed the power management for these new screens so that they wont flicker anymore. but they consume more power now. first i used the screen 6,5 hours and had a standby of 24 hours. now i have 6 hours screen on time with 24 hours standby. so its a bit of a change though. I just tested it 1 time. so it could also be i used the phone in another way when getting only 6 hours.
But just to let you guys know the flickering can be fixed.
yep my sister's Gnex start to show some burn in after 3 weeks from the new screen get replaced under warranty because of very bad burn in and now the burn in started again with the new screen only after 3 weeks :crying::crying:
i've used many devices with AMOLED screens ( GS1 - GS2 -GS3 ) and never had any burn in its only happen on Gnex
what should i do ? maybe sell it before getting worse ?
I would turn the brightness down, but that's just me.
What are your screen settings?

Also, does she have it on 24/7? I've never heard of burn in that quick before but if you're on full brightness all the time I suppose it could happen
I have had my note 2 for 8 months now. Only recently i have heard about the screen burn in issue that is the low life of the screen especially the blue pixels. since i have to use this phone for another 2.5 years or such, what should i do about this? can i get the screen repalced while my warranty is still there and what do i say?
pls help!
blue shouldn't really be a problem.
they made the blue subpixels bigger to compensate for their shorter lifespan.
you can also increase your screen's lifespan by using primarily black wallpapers, black themed apps, and night mode in browsers and e-book apps.
a convenient bonus is that this way you'll also increase your battery life, because it costs almost no power to display black on an OLED screen.

I started having the burn in effects after 6months of usage. And it doesn't follow a pattern it's just a random mark that shows on grey colours. I doubt your warranty will cover that as its a widespread issue that Samsung seems to shy away from, but you won't lose anything if you try to get a replacement just make sure you can easily replicate this issue when you try to show it to the service center.

Hey guys, I'm thinking this is simply a common drawback from having an amoled screen, but I just wanted to be sure. While using auto brightness in a dark room (e.g., during bedtime) the brightness level on my device is properly turned down, but I've noticed that when looking at applications that use a black background there will be a lagging "purple smudge" when scrolling or sliding through an application. I first noticed this while using the Yahoo Fantasy Football app in bed. Again, I read that this may be a common problem with phones that have amoled screens but I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one with some sort of defect. Are you guys experiencing this?
I have used several amoled screen phones and have never had an issue like that. I now have a note 4 as well and I'm not experiencing anything like that. I tried to recreate your condition as best I could and I'm not seeing it..... good luck with that one!
yeah, it always happens on amoled. s4, s5, and the galaxy tab s has it. it's just how it's always been

Nothing to be worried about. All I have had have done this and the note 4 is no different. Just remember, it's the BEST display available on a phone right now... or so I have read
mine is so terrible, its making me crazy! specially when watching a movie, its all purple, it started the day after i bought it and now got terrible ! my movies get all purple :|(not that much but really annoying)
I'm having the same problem on my note 4 (SM-N910C) after the lollipop update... It's making me very angry! At least on my device the effects seem to be rather substantial... I'm sure this wasn't happening on kitkat...
Anyone else having this problem?
So I tried to reproduce this and under no circumstances does my phone exhibit this under auto brightness.
Though no matter how dark it is my phone will only drop brightness to about ~15-20%.
Even if I drop the brightness down to 2-5% manually it does not exhibit the purple lag.
For my device... only at the absolute minimum brightness does it exhibit this behavior.
If your device is exhibiting this kind of behavior what brightness level is it actually at?
Hey guys.
U probably know i bought this phone about a week ago. Im facing AMOLED burn in with like 9hrs of usage everyday.

I guess Im just overreacting then. Funny cos yeknow how YouTube updated their app and when you tap on the search bar you see a plain white background (that if you paused search history). Well for me, I saw a kinda dark thick line running across the screen. Not obvious but a very very faint dark thick line.

I've got some burn in from using Waze as my navigation app for the past 9 months.
I'm facing near same problem...
My phone have very light black stripes on screen, especially at white backgrounds.
I use this phone for hours everyday since I got the phone, 1 year 3 months ago and don't have any similar problems.
Try downloading a video designed to free up pixels that are otherwise dead.
They're normally a few minutes long and alternate between bright red, green and blue at different intervals.

Yes, I've used them previously on TVs, PSPs and phones - all successfully.
It may take multiple attempts but it should eventually bring them back..
Same here, status bar and the keyboard^^
