Preventing screen burn
What is the best way to prevent screen retention on the Note 4? I am very familiar with this kind of anomaly simply because I have been working with AV for years and this is an issue with Plasma TV's and seems to be an issue with AMOLED. I am replacing my Note 4 (new one should be here tomorrow) because of screen retention on the notification bar. Verizon warranty covers it. I know plasma TV's have methodologies to prevent this such as pixel shift and scroll bars but the Note has no such things. I use Nova launcher and I auto hide the notification bar, but the notification bar is present in all my apps that aren't full screen. My problem is with Messaging and that I am not terribly fast when it comes to it so I am in the messaging app with it displaying for quite a long time and I am thinking that is what caused it.
Other than auto hiding and dropping the brightness down all the way, what other solutions does this community have in preventing this. I don't really have a problem with calling Verizon every time this happens as they will overnight me a new phone every time, but the Note 5 came out I don't know if I will be so lucky getting an overnighted phone if one at all next time this happens.
Thank you,
Hi all,
My father and I both have the Pixel 2 XL and he's having a problem where there is a flashy overlay when he gets a phone call and we can't figure out what's causing it. I was thinking that it may have come from a slot machine game that he downloaded from the Play Store, but it's still there after uninstalling. The only thing that changed is that the answer/decline option at the top of the screen is now available. Before uninstalling, he would have to click the green answer icon and then have to swipe up to actually answer the call.
I attached a screenshot of the issue below.
Would anyone happen to know what's causing it and know how to remove this?
Thanks in advance!
Well, we can call this an open and shut case. While waiting for a doctor appointment, my dad decided to delete a bunch of different apps and the issue is fixed. I have no idea which one caused it, but it's gone.
Now I just hope he didn't delete anything important...
I don't know exactly what I did that made this start happening, but right now every time a toast message pops up it stays on the screen for over 10 seconds. If there are other messages queued up then it will display all of them one after another each for over 10 seconds. I did a Google search and could not find a solution. Has this happened to anyone else?
I've tried everything short of a factory reset. I rebooted and safe mode and it still happens. I reset all of the application preferences, as far as permissions and that sort of thing goes, that fixed a few issues I've been experiencing but the toast problem persists.
Is this a bug? is there a solution? Can you adjust the timeout for toast messages? Are there any third party apps that change this setting on an unrooted phone that I unwittingly may have used?
Will I be forced to do a full factory reset to fix this problem? It's really annoying, haha!
thanks in advance for any help
I did everything including a factory reset and those toast messages still did the same thing, so I am thinking it definitely is an OS system upgrade problem!!! It is so annoying !!

I still don't understand if this happens on everybody's Pixel 3 or if it's just ours. if it's just a few people then there has to be a common thing that caused it to start doing this. I haven't thought about it too much but my first suspicion was SystemUITuner. did you by chance install that and change anything using it?
I can't think of anything else that I have had to enable permissions with ADB for on here that would have messed with the display settings.
I've been rooting every phone I owned since cupcake. usually owning more than one at a time because well that just makes your power level go up exponentially ... through carelessness and not reading what I needed to before purchasing my Verizon Pixel 3 XL, This is the first phone I've had in my life for more than a month or so that was a daily driver without root.
my point is, I really can't think of a reason why the timeout for all toast messages system wide would suddenly change to be 30 seconds long instead of three. I would have bet on it that that is something that you need root to alter. ??*

looking at Google's past release schedule and also starting to hear rumors about Android 11 (they did put a system image up on Google's page but you cannot install it without an unlocked bootloader), we should start hearing official announcements about it soon, with beta1 probably end of April beginning of May.
Even if there are a few not annoying bugs I think it would be worth the upgrade to get rid of these toast messages covering all kinds of stuff that I need to be reading NOW! not in (in the case of three or four toasted pop-up great after each other) 2 minutes later when I've already Ben distracted and can't remember what I was wanting to be able to tap on that was under the eternal-1 toast message timeout.
it's very interesting to me that if you Google this problem there's maybe one or two results. I'm very curious what we are doing to cause this issue. if you or anyone from the future is reading this and knows This information please leave a little response or just post a link it, so maybe I can die happy having finally solved this riddle
thank you in advance

I stumbled upon this after googling the same issue.
I'm not sure if we had the same issue, but I just noticed that it was the "Time to take action (Accessibility timeout)" option, under Settings > Accessibility that made my toasts be long than 3 seconds.
Although it should be on "Default" by default (duh), so if you didn't change this, it must be something else.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Oh my, thank you so much, I had the same problem and this solved it!!!
I wish there was a way to make it shorter than 3 seconds but from my research it can not be changed can it?

Just an FYI, coming from AT&T prepaid 6 years during the covid party the depth AT&T is it has taken me 9 months to move to postpay. It is a corporation a complete morons above customer support. All my problems are met with an upsell attempt and I have bit once or twice in return I was kindly bitten all this to say that they put a Motorola one 5G Ace 64 4G ram in my hand and I have the same issue except might hang for 20 to 45 seconds it seems like 90 seconds! May well be. Obviously they're not translucent but the desktop or any operation underneath it will take a finger command if you know where the hell to push. I did not get it from Amazon but I was looking to upgrade to the 128 prior and post this phone and one of the main salesman there with Motorola America which of course is not a Motorola product it's just a Motorola name. The ruination of a long-standing pioneer groundbreaking company! and he wanted to know more information from me and wants me to become a free paid intern or some crap and help them figure out what's going on so there you go? I am sure I am not the only one and just as sure as I am of that, I am sure that the people that make them and sell them and talk about them all day to potential customers or two customers have no freaking idea what their products do.!!

dude... thank you.
i dunno how leaving a toast message on top of the buttons you need TO take action helps but that is what caused, likely, or at least what corrected the issue for me.

I can't find this accesability option on my note 10 + g975fd bubi know it was some kind of setting somewhere because I remember turning it on trying to see some message it waS throwing while I was setting up some Tasker task. Which makes me think it might have been turned on by option for a tasker action but I'll be damned if I can find it again. It's actually nice most of the time but lately it's been really annoying to me because it shows over the keyboard and most of the time an OK or cancel prompt. And like previously mentioned if there are ten of them its quite a long time to wait. And I also turned something on that does a toast every time an intent is launched so you can see how this has multiplied the issue. I think it's one of those situations like (in Tasker you can say launch so n so app, one of the potions is to make the app launch a new instance and another is to have the app not appear in recents. That's all fine gravy for that instance but nobody anywhere ever says that from now on any time you launch that app that it will launch a new instance and it won't appear in recents) whether it's in Tasker or from the Launcher or if you just switch to another app and back. It quickly becomes an issue when you are trying to enter passwords or watch Netflix and do something else real quick. And if you don't put 2 together with 2 because you didn't notice right a way it can be a brain bender trying to figure the little problem out. I'm thinking that's what I have done is set some obscure option for God knows what experimental task and now its stuck that way. But it's really not something I want to bother joã (Tasker de"sorry for spelling") with and he may not know anyway. But thanks for the thread and any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Just moved to my first Samsung phone and slowly getting to grips from how it differs from stock Android on my old Pixel 2XL
One thing I am struggling with is when I have a calendar entry set to to busy my Pixel would automatically switch on Do Not Disturb, I have tried to find this setting on my Note but can't see it anywhere.
Is this possible to do or do I need to install any app for this?
2 week old s20 ultra, my first samsung and I heard someone say you can either have good hardware with garbage software (samsung) or good software with junk hardware (google pixel) and I'm finding that to be very very true.
My past (pixel 2) was very intuitive, the samsung not so much.
Issues I have so far that I would like to correct with using the pixel rom? Is that the right word?
Having to hit the power button then the volume key to snooze the alarm because the volume keys aren't enabled when the screen is off?
A giant empty lock screen with no easy options of going to the next track or pausing different media sources without scrolling through them all.
Bixby is worthless.
My power button doesn't act as a power button
The OEM pixel messages app doesn't work properly on the s20u, freezes when launched and eventually comes back.
At a glance works most of the time.
You can't easily copy of phone number with the samsung dialer. Only (delete) that's it
Can't easily report spam calls (I get 7+ a day)
All of this seems trivial to my girl, saying I need to get used to it, but it's like taking 2 steps backwards in the software world.
Any opinions on getting rid of the stock build? It's driving me insane.
Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks in Advance!

Surely you should have done some research about samsung one ui before you start complaining. Why dont you try to adapt to what you have. You are best suited to stock android so maybe the pixel is for you.
Failing to adapt try this link.

It would appear finding versions of messages etc that will run on this oem software is my best option.
Thank

No such thing as a "perfect device". If you didn't research the S20 prior to purchase why complain now? Did you opt for a Carrier Branded device or is your bootloader unlocked? If so you can modify the OS for some desired adaptations. International variants are better suited for a cleaner android experience. The S20 has numerous advantages over Pixel devices. Display, battery, internal memory, better processor, 5G capability, cost is comparable and the cameras with all features considered is on par with Pixel 4 XL. Skin on the S20 has improved since TouchWiz but it isn't pure android for better or worse. Your hope of merging the best of both devices for the most part isn't an option.
