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?
Why I'm asking this is because of screen burn in. I know the damage is already done, but I'd like to slow down the process if I can. I know of different ways to slow it down but it will always eventually happen. Maybe for an upcoming version of android, Google or whoever could come up with a theme that didn't always have static images when you're using the phone, thus helping with screen life. Another alternative could be that there's a black bar in the notification area and you have to pull it down to see the different stats that are there currently. Top edge slide down is where the time, signal, connection type, battery, GPS and any other stuff. Bottom edge slide up could be the self hiding app drawer. That's just some brainstorming ideas. I have a feeling that the top and bottom are hard baked into the os. There's different kinds of launchers that look different, why couldn't an auto hiding launcher be there instead of a conventional one?
they have the ability to hide launcher? second option from bottom in my pic

I saw that apex launcher can hide the top bar, but I didn't see a way to get at the information if you swiped down on the bar.
I think I found what I was looking for. Go launcher ex has settings that I set that the home screen is completely black. If you slide down gesture, the notification bar appears. If I slide up gesture, the dock appears. If you go the same direction twice, it hides the dock or notif bar. Kinda neat if someone picked up the phone, they wouldn't initially figure out how to operate the phone.
Something I just thought of; while I'm typing this in xda app, the not if bar is showing. I wonder if there's a way to surpress it while using and app. The burn in from the bar and keyboard isn't when the home screen is on, it's when I'm in an app typing or browsing. Hmm...
You could use paranoid android, if in tablet mode you can hold the power button and there will be a thing that hides the statusbar, effectively going into full screen mode

Good evening, XDA members. For those in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it. Haha!!
So I've finally moved from 4.4.2 to 5.0, Sense to GPe. I miss XposedFramework. LoL!! I'm setting up different mods and shortcuts to make the experience similar. I can double tap to view the lockscreen, but double tapping doesn't relock it. In Sense it would. I see notifications are always on the lockscreen. I want to know if there is an app, or combination of apps that would have a persistent notification and have possible buttons with one being a screen lock.
This would speed me back up. I won't have to reach for the power button when using one hand just to view the time. LoL!!
I stumbled across NiLS I believe it's called, and I tried Notification Toggle The latter seemed to work, but tje function had become depreciated in 5.0 from what the little error message said.
If anyone can suggest something that would be great. I have PIE control for my "always active" Menu button. LoL!! I can't use PIE on the lockscreen though.
Any cheat would be nice. I just want my one hand usage back. That's the last thing before I can get comfortable and learn to use 5.0 until Kernals come out. Unless there is one... =.P
Thanks,
Izaya
Just got the 7T, coming from a Pixel 3. So far I'm really enjoying it but there are a few things that slightly annoy me and can't figure out how to address:
1.) I realized that I wasn't getting a notification in the status bar for google play updates. If I swiped down, the notification would be in the shade. After spending a lot of time searching through everything, I noticed in the shade (where you swipe half way on a notification to reveal a gear icon) that the notifications were on "Other", just as it was on my pixel 3 but didn't experience this issue. I then changed it to "Important" notifications. This helped, but now when I have my phone on ring or vibrate, I get notified of an app update or when an app has finished updating (rings or vibrates)*. This isn't a huge deal, but it slightly annoys me. Is this common for OnePlus? Can anyone help me trouble shoot?
2.) Another issue I'm experiencing started right before creating this thread (Which is what prompted me to seek your guys' help). The OnePlus launcher updated. Now whenever I slide up from an app to the app switcher, I get a little a vibration. Again, not a huge deal, but I prefer not to have that every time as I'm always switching apps. I can't find where to shut that off.
3) Lastly, in the camera app, I cannot glide my finger to see all camera modes like the pixel 3. I have to tap each one individually in order to get to the mode I want if it's off screen. This seems counter intuitive. Again, is this a OnePlus thing or am I going insane?
No big issues, but if you can help me figure these out or put me in my place by telling me this is how OnePlus works, I'd greatly appreciate it.
*This also happens for LastPass as well.

I've noticed the exact same thing in Camera App. Look's like a feature It's quicker/easier to simply swipe up this bar to access all mode selection.

I appreciate the response. I had no idea I could swipe up! Thank you!
Anyone notice that when you long press icons with notification badges on them you no longer see the notifications just the shortcuts?
I really enjoyed the ability to long press icons to see a notification description that I could click to access or swipe away. The one thing Android did way better than iOS. Now when I long press I just see shortcuts meaning I have to go in the app and sometimes I don't even see what the notification is for. This is really disappointing.
Anyone know when this functionality disappeared? Or did I change something in my settings by mistake? Is there a way to get this functionality back?
I'm using the s20 ultra SD with the one UI launcher if that helps.
Any help would be appreciated.

I recently did a factory reset to start fresh because restoring from a Samsung backup made my battery pretty awful. I totally forgot about that settings.
