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?
Hello there!
This is a problem that I've had for a while. Ever since I got this tablet, to be precise (3 days after it released; I have the Wi-Fi only version). I tried to give it a fair chance, but I think I've given it enough time to be able to say that I don't like it. The problem is that my dock bar never rotates to the bottom of the screen like it should when I flip the tablet to landscape mode, which is what I have it set in 99% of the time (the last 1% being because an app or something forces me into portrait mode). I can't seem to find anything to make it go to the bottom and I've searched this forum and Google for a solution but I didn't find anything. The few threads that I did find dealing with this problem suggested a different launcher, but when I tried it, the dock bar was still on the side of the screen. How can I make it go back to the bottom? When I had the 1st gen Nexus 7, I never had this problem.
ROM: ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2
Kernel: Franco Kernel
Launcher: Apex
Thanks in advance!
Is this a unique problem?
Anyone have a solution?
Is this a 4.3 problem?
It means that the rom/launcher does not have 'Tablet Mode' enabled for the homescreens. I am not sure how to get what you are asking for, but it is acting like everyone elses and you don't have a defect of any kind.
Hi All,
I am using the google launcher on my 8.4 running cyanogen nightlies, though this issue happened on the stock ROM as well.
The issue I am having is that occasionally I can see 1 pixel of the google now screen on my first home page. Has anyone seen this issue before and have a fix?
Have attached a screenshot. It's pretty hard to see in the screenshot but irritatingly obvious on the tablet screen.
TIA
what a ugly launcher...
get back to stock asap:good:

I had this in my previous nexus 10 when I installed GEL. However, I don't see this in my nexus5, so I guess it's related to low optimization for tablets. I think I remember it dissapeared when swipping left and right again but it appears again when you lock and unlock. No workaround I think
Hi all.
I have a strange issue with my Tab Pro 10.1, as you can see from the picture in the top left hand corner of the screen I have what appears to be a rectangle with curved corners, and a line underneath. This appears randomly, and when it does the only way to get rid of it is to reboot, it will remain on screen no matter what I am doing (games/video/browsing etc).
Has anyone else had this issue, and know what to do to stop it from occurring?
Couldn't see it at first, but it's there, top left hand corner of the pic, semi transparent. I've never had that on my Tab Pro 10.1 though. Looks like a generic smartphone representation. Are you on stock or are you rooted and/or custom ROM?

No, its straight stock rom from Samsung. Whatever the latest build is available OTA for the UK (I am at work so cant check it exactly at the moment). But it definitely is not rooted in anyway.
Hi folks!
Yesterday I finally got my summer car back on the road again and for whatever reason the full-display apps are shown in a strange layout.
Especially Spotify and GoogleMaps in navigation mode look like the screen is used as 2 vertical displays next to each other rather than one big horizontal screen.
Normally the "now playing" bar from Spotify stretches over the whole screen, while the 3 main menus (startscreen, search and library)
are displayed beneath it.
GoogleMaps shows your position centered on the right half of the display while the overview and next action are centered on the right side.
Anyone got an Idea how to fix/change this?
TIA!
You could solve it. It happens exactly the same.
So far not - are you also using Hal9k Mod or the stock firmware?

I don't use the original
What does hal9k suggest when contacted for paid rom support or questions asked in his thread
