ADVICE NEEDED. Screen burn in - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

So basicly my lock screen is burned into my screen i woke up this morning and i could my notifications and time in the background burned in so i kind of freaked out however now a few hours later it is only barely visible and i can only see it on a dark grey background with full brightness but as i said its now barely visible if do this.
So the questions i have :
Besides annoying what are the consequenses ?
I bought my phone on aliexpress and it arrived 5 days ago i have 1 year warranty for it should i get the screen rrplaced ?
I read that theres a fix by using a custom rom and changing colour calibration? I was planning on installing resurection remix anyway because it was always my go to rom but does it have kcal ?
Thanks in advance

i had the same issue and made a thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/help/3-days-usage-burn-t3793599
there a youtubevideos to solve image retention, but found none in 21:9.
if it is your lockscreen u might turn off ambient display or whatever it is called.
for me i got it when i use the same app for a longer time (eg whatsapp)
but all in all it´s okay for me.

Go to Display > Contrast and Colors and set to cool. But I don't like the blue effect so you can try NIGHTLY and NIGHTLY SCREEN from playstore. And set the app brightness setting to 85%. This will prevent image retention. But if you are rooted it's better to use CF.Lumen and go to manual settings and set RGB to 0.90.

[UPDATED] Auto brightness flicker - Related to CPU load? Try different governer?

Hi all.
I'm reading a lot about 'screen flicker'. But it seems people are using this to describe a few different faults.
I've noticed that my one x backlight flickers when in auto brightness mode. But it only does it under artificial light. Under natural light it's totally fine.
If I turn off Auto brightness, it is completely fine also, regardless of what level I set the brightness to.
It's almost as if the software isn't filtering the auto brightness sensor output enough and trying to respond instantaneously to even the slightest light change, giving the impression of a flicker.
Who else has this issue specifically?
It looks to me like a software issue, but I only have 3 days left in my return for refund peiod and I'm not sure what the best option is.
Cheers.
EDIT: On to my 10th handset now with the same issue and just about ready to give up, but have noticed that the flicker seems to be worse when the CPU is coming on and off heavy load.
Can someone with Root and SETCPU installed please try different governers to see if they make any difference to this issue? I don't wan to root this phone to try it myself as I may end up returning it. Thanks!

Oh well return it, and buy a new one thats probably the best option, i ordered mine yesterday, and ill do the same in 2 weeks if it have issues
Yeah I'm thinking that might be the best option. It's just that it seems to be a Software issue to me.
Anyone upgraded to 1.28 and seen this specific problem (not the screen jumping and flickering pixels) go away?

I've upgraded to 1.28 and still have the flickering problem. I would love to be able to believe its software and its going to get fixed with an OTA, but at the moment everyone is simply uncertain as to what the future holds.
HTC advices anyone with a flickering screen to go to your carrier and ask for a replacement

On to my 10th handset with auto-brightness flicker now. At what point should i jsut give up? lol
It seems to be somehow related to CPU load also as I'm noticing the flicker is far worse when the cpu is changing power states.
Can someone with root try a different governer for the CPU and see if that changes the flicker at all?
BUMP. I'd be really great if someone rooted could test this theory!
..
I really cant help but ill tell my experience with my onex for the past two or three weeks.
I had the flickering screen twice,
1. random on the notification bar.
2. I was taking photos and got the CPU loaded because I was shooting too many pics. the bottom side of the screen was flickering.
anyway, I notice that the flickering only happend when the auto screen rotate is enabled.
Thanks for the reply, but I think you're talking about a different flicker. I'm talking about the back-light flicker when Auto Brightness is enabled. Not the LCD panel flicker.

Auto brightness issue? strange software glirch?

Does anyone else get this issue? I love having my brightness cranked to the fullest to see all the beautiful colors and sharpness of the screen. I noticed the other night while in my living room, the screen was dimmer than normal it made the whites have a yellow tint to it. Well case in point i checked my brightness settings and they were cranked up along with Auto Brightness turned off.
I did check in the display options that there is a color mode setup i always have mine on Cinema because it makes it the fullest of color and never changes.
I find this to be strange and im almost wondering that regardless of what i set my brightness too something in the software is manipulating the adaptive brightness. Hmm.. This is going to drive me bonkers. I wonder if its a Lollipop thing. Thanks!
I noticed when I was taking pictures on a sunny day and maybe a few times at the house. I have full brightness on until around dinner time. Hopefully fixed with a update.
I'm not sure where I read it, but this is a known occurrence on this phone, so there is nothing wrong with your phone..
I'll look for the story were I first saw this..

yes doesn't work at all. I restored the phone and at that stage there is no car app installed yet, so it is not this causing the bug.
I suggest everyone that has the s6 edge to check it and eventually to return it back if you're still on time. Honestly I'm really disappointed, all this hype and then the flagship phone has this enormous bug! I chatted with my local assistance of Samsung and they were not aware of the issue. So I asked to the guy in chat if he could try to do the test that is on youtube (cover the light sensor and then use a flashlight comparing S6 and S6 edge) and he confirmed that even with brightness set to manual, the s6 edge is still reacting to the changes of light conditions. He didn't know if this is supposed to be a "feature" of the s6 edge but honestly I strongly doubt. It is a common bug of all the s6 edge, probably will be corrected, probably not, who knows. I returned mine in the meantime, if solved (confirmed by Samsung) I will consider to buy it again in the coming months.
Same problem
With auto brightness turned off it seems that the sensor still triggers the screen to dim or increase brightness.
I noticed it after i had the screen on and went from outdoor to indoor, it just automatically dimmed the screen. This is an issue with the software so hopefully with the new 5.1.1 update it will fix it.
heres a link to where i found out the issue but unfortunately since i am a new member i cannot post it yet.
but search THE DROID GUY SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE COMMON PROBLEMS
hope this helps

Screen looking washed out

Have any other Z5 premium users noticed that sometimes when you wake up the screen it looks super washed out almost LG G3 esque for a second or 2 then it goes back to looking normal?
Just wondering if there's an explanation, it's a common thing or i have a faulty handset.
Thanks

Don't think it's faulty. Very noticable to me on very dark screens. If you turn off Adaptive Brightness in settings this doesn't happen. It's just trying to adjust the screen to a proper brightness.
I have had the same issue.
Normally if I wake the phone up directly into an app that had a dark background i can easily see this. I find that pressing the recent apps key, selecting another app and then going back into the washed out app helps to remedy the problem if it does not sort itself out.
This happens for me as well. Note this also happened on my z3. Im not all that worried about it. The washed out display is usually sorted within a few seconds. If it bothers you that much, turning off adaptive brightness get rid of the issue as mentioned earlier.
I've taken to using Lux Auto, it resolved the issue.
They talked about it on the Sony forums, there's a bug in the adaptive brightness and Sony said that they are fixing it for the 6.0 update

Always notice it when I leave my keyboard open and lock screen. When I unlock it later the keyboard looks all washed out then fades back to normal. Never bothered me though on this or previous Sony phones

Cheers for the answers guess i'll wait for this 6.0 update to drop to see if it fixes it

Good Luck
We're on 7.0 and it is still not working. My screen becomes the dimmest in sunlight or bright days, that's exactly when I need it the brightest and it becomes dim - Sonny ? or Funny !
I am tired of this phone.
May 5th.
So when I am tired I am trying the most crazy things....
Installed LUX Auto Brightness - 48 hours and not a single problem.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux
I organized the application a bit, Min brightness 40% , Max - 100% , link your 0 lux ambient to 60% brightness and use other good stuff.
This application controls the Z5 Brightness so that it gives me what need.
Of course my Z5 adaptive brightness is OFF.
I can not explain how this does it, even me being an EE, but still Job is done.
This was very frustrating so you can understand my excitement.

LG G4 - Image Retention - LCD Replaced by Warranty

I recently experienced really bad image retention issue with my LG G4 (and my wife's V10 but that is for another forum). It was so bad that even if I use any of those burn in fixer apps it just keeps coming back. It would go away when you turn it off but come right back within 5 minutes of using the phone.
In any case, I had it replaced for free since it is still under warranty. I'm worried now that it may eventually come back again because it seems to be common to the G4 (and the Quantum IPS screen phones)
My question is:
1. Has anyone else experienced image retention? Is it a common G4 issue? How can I avoid it?
2. For those that has experienced it and had their LCD replaced, did the issue ever come back?
Thanks!

Hi, i have the same problem but i found a very easy solution. All you have to do is install sfilter(or any other blue light filter, and no retention anymore, even if u keep it as low as 20 or 30%. I did the same, i keep my filter at 20% and no ghosting what so ever no matter how bright the screen is. And the second i turn it off, all hell breaks loose. I have an lg g4, but i am sure it will work on any ips display. Hope it helps ?

Hello, I am new here. I have same problem with the display on my LG G4 H818.
1. First instal from Gplay: " Galaxy Nexus Screen Diagnostic " . Now Test your screen with "repair custom" option. If leave 5 minutes on this screen test, images retention will disappear. This is first good sign.
2. Instal from Gplay: " Blue Light Filter ", for recognizing, icon is a 1/4 yellow moon ?in blue circle. Developer is Leap Fitness. This is my try. You can test another blue light filter and test.
3. Go to activate blue light filter from button, and set:
-Color temp to 3200k;
-intensity to 10, is enough and it works fine for me;
-screen Dim to 9%.
4. Optional, for better color contrast: Go in phone settings/ general tab/ accessibility/ vision / screen color adjustment / actiaye from button and move the cursor down a half centimeter. For me is enough this setup.
Hope this is helpful for all. Thanks

Question High brightness mode for HDR not working

Hi all, this may be a dumb problem to have but a few weeks ago, I started watching an HDR video on YT and noticed the HBM didn't kick in. Since then, I have tried everything to fix it that I can on a non-rooted phone to no avail. I opened a support case with Google, they suggested the standard factory reset which didn't work as I told them it wouldn't. After that, they requested a bug report in which I did send. Without any explanation, they offered to replace the phone. I asked for details on the bug report and what was wrong but they ignored my request. I got so annoyed I declined the replacement and said I would just trade the phone for a pixel 7 which I did order and receive.
First thing I did when I got it was test HDR content and it worked as it should by kicking in HBM. The problem is, I am a victim of a poor screen on the 7 with washed out colors and a greenish yellowish tint. Now I'm back to the 6 pro after ordering a replacement for the 7 and back to trying to figure out why HBM isn't working.
I want to try to figure this out as I'm pretty sure the replacement 7 pro I get will have the same drab screen colors so will likely just return it all together and stick with the 6 pro.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I think HBM is a function of the kernel so I thought perhaps reflashing the kernel could fix it but I'm not sure and I'm not rooted (can't bc I use my phone for work and some of the apps we use for business detect rooted phones and deny use). I have used the android flash tool to do a full clean flash of A13 when it first came out so I'm guessing the kernel would have been updated then. Perhaps that broke it? I'm not sure when it did but I know HBM worked at some point in the past. I used the android flash tool like 4 or 5 times until it seemed all the weird quirks were mostly ironed out (I was one of the people posting in the thread about A13 weird issues when it first came out like battery drain, etc).
Anyone come across this and know how to fix?
Not sure of this could help settings display then colours either try natural boosted adaptive maybe they have something to do with the HDR

The color profile has nothing to do with this bc when HDR kicks in, it super saturates the colors no matter what profile you're on.
I am still trying to find out if anyone else has this issue and if so, is high brightness mode a function of the kernel or something else in the software?
