screen burn - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I am thinking of upgrading to a Samsung S10 when they are released however I have a question about the s9 which will help me make my decision on the S10. Is screen burn still an issue on the s9 as I have seen s8 phones in the past with the issue and wanted to know if it was still an issue in the s9 ?
Thanks

I have S8(19 months old) and an S9(9 months old) and no burn in on neither of the phone. I have 3 friends with S8 and same, no burn in problems.

I have an S8 with serious burn in from Navigation apps but I'm a full-time Uber/Lyft driver so it's to be expected. If you take care and don't leave the same static image on your screen for extended periods of time at full brightness (like I have to daily) then you should be fine. As for the different models, it's possible on pretty much all OLED screens regardless of the manufacturer which is why you don't see OLED computer monitors (taskbar would burn in).

S9 problem still occurs
Hi guys the missus bought the s9 so she had the better phone I've also got the dreaded screen burn on the s8 from Facebook logos and now the missus as also the problem with the Facebook symbols on tops of the screen. I'm not going to bother with the upgrade think its got the same old amoled screen so u are still going to get the dreaded screen burn. If u are playing your favourite games or Facebook app.

[q] screen burn in issues?

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.

That burn in is really bad. It's got to be a problem with your screen, and not common to all G4s or we'd be seeing others complaining by now.
I've seen phones that bad in stores, but their screens are on all the time. How much screen time have you had with Opera running?
Good thing the provider is replacing it!

hmm not that long troug. if i use opera a while not it disappears almost completely.
use it agian 2 minutes. its bck
and restarting my phone does not help.
removing opera does also not help.
if i got my new phone no opera anymore.
I just can't believe that's from Opera alone. There had to be a problem with the LCD in your phone.
I understand if you don't want to risk it by using Opera anymore but I don't think it'll happen with your new phone.

Lcd on mobile phones normally never get burnins, it's an amoled thingy (samsung phones) and it's an important reason I wont get a note 4 but a G4, so I really hope it was a single defective screen.
Did you try one of the screen retention fix app?
Did you try a factory reset? Call me crazy but it's not normal that a screen burnin doesn't affect white pixels, and it shouldn't do a green stuff, it could be a crazy bug

That's not "backlight leak" or "light bleed" as it's generally called. It's a bad LCD panel.
FYI This is how light bleed on the G4 can look like (It's mine).
I have a new device. So it's solved. But I see more people getting problems with the screen.
That's more likely to be just image retention and not an actual burn in.
Burn in = actual damage since the material gets burnt out than the rest of the other materials in the screen.
Image Retention = the liquid crystals on the LCD haven't fully returned to their original state for the meantime only.
A burn in commonly happens on crt, plasma, oled screens. For the reason that these technologies "burn" a specific material on their screen to produce output. LCD screens like IPS are very less likely to have burn ins but image retention is always possible but not permanent.

So is image retention common, because I've never had this problem until I got the G4 which is my first flagship: every other phone I've had was a budget and never had a problem like this.
I've never had image retention or burn in on any of my LCD phones but have had it on all my OLED/AMOLED phones.

LG used this "Quantum Display" of theirs (A modified type of IPS LCD) which had a different arrangement of pixels and whatnots which would have likely been the reason why image retention was much more common on theirs than other manufacturers' IPS displays, but in return.. the color gamut of their display actually expanded in range and also provided less energy consumption.
Same here LG G4 "screen burnes" all the time!!! - previous screens stay faded over current screens, just like on my old plasma TV... WTF???
I don't know what is screenburn but sometimes I see vertical narrow black stripes popping for a second in the same place, any thoughts what this can be? Is that a faulty display or some software bug, anyone had this issue?
What did other people who had this issue?
Now I'm also having it. Own the phone since ~11month. I recognized it 2 weeks ago, researching the problem. Before I though it would be a graphic error.
Have the plan to write LG about my issue. But have rooted the phone the official way. I must lookt at the LG root condition, I think this is still covered by waranty even with root because of HW issue not caused by root.
BR
I had a image retention issues on my screen (few months ago came from service for bootlooping) AND I have bootloader officially unlocked. And they still changed my display. But I live in Finland EU and we have this mandatory 2 years warranty regardless of rooting the device. Only if they can proof that rooting caused the device to broke then its not covered by this mandatory manufacturer independant warranty.
But image retention or bootlooping aint such a case and they replaced my MB and now my screen.
It just shows how **** the G4 is in case of build quality, I have experienced screenburn and I'm after a bootloop issue as well, so glad my OnePlus 3 is coming at Monday. G4 has a great development and thats why I love it I wouldn't buy ever again.

note 2 screen burn in

Hi guys sorry if this has been addressed before on here I did search with no luck.
My note 2 has terrible screen burn which is common for amoled/oled screen it seems but is there any way of fixing it or at least making it better without buying a new screen ?, a new screen costs around £70+ which I can't seem to justify for a 3 year old phone, I do like it though and if there is anything I can try I will I might even get a new screen but will it just burn in again?....
I've seen burn in fixer apps on playstrore but I'm not too sure, any help greatly appreciated.
I don't think there is any way to get rid of burned-in images with software.
Thanks would you say it's worth replacing the lcd the full assembly is around �£70-�£100+ here in the UK ! I could get a excellent condition note 3 off eBay for �£150.
Would the burn in fixer apps make anything worse if I left it to run 8-10 hours? Should I be put off amoled displays now? This phone was lightly used since new for the past year and always kept on auto brightness what gives this phone is almost unusable on white screens.

Screen burn in issue

Hey guys, so I have a s9 its about 4 months old. Today i just decided to use fullscreen and hide navigation bar and as soon as i did I noticed a total burn in and dicoloration on the bottom of the screen. Now i know amoled has burn in issues, but in 4-5 months? Luckily i am sending it to service and I should get it serviced upon. This is the reply i got when I asked it the issue was prevalent and persisting "The issue will be resolved by our service expert at the our service center, this issue will not occurs after the service.". Seems a little off. So i am wondering are any of you guys having burn in already?

Yes, but my burn in is the status bar after 3 months of owning the phone. (I don't have the navigation keys up all the time since on the S8 it caused burn ins after it's release and I still don't trust it, even after Samsung said that they "fixed it with a software update") When you scroll it down you can see the line where it changes color from normal white to a bit more yellowish white. I even used bluelight filter quite often to not use the blue pixels as often and to prevent burn in, also tried to always stay below the brightest settings, but after 3 month it is quite frustrating to see that it doesn't prevent it. It's called the "best displays on the market" in terms of color and brightness, but is it really, when it burns in after 3 month? My old S5 got burn ins only after 2 years! I will still use my s9 and only send it in before the warranty expires because I need it every day and don't want a new phone where it will happen again after 3 months.
I had this to with galaxy s8. I send it back for repair 3 times for screen burn in. Now i use the galaxy s8 with the brightness slider in half and not having screen in burning issue anymore. And now with galaxy s9 still no burn in after 6 months also with brightness at half.

S20 - Major issues

Morning All,
The last Samsung I had was an S2… so im reaching out to the Samsung people on here and those with a bit more insight than me…
I’ve had my S20 for a few days now (2nd one after my initial one was faulty).
I’m having major issues with it to the point I actually hate this phone.
Issue 1: Battery Drain
So, my first handset had to go back because the battery drain was so bad Samsung thought it must be faulty. My 2nd device isn’t much better.
I’ve come from a 2-year-old p20 pro which would use about 5% and hour with me using it none stop.
This S20 is using 5% every 30 mins... with no usage. As an example, I unplugged my phone at 100% at 8am this morning, it’s now 8:57 and my battery is at 87%... I’ve not used it.
Iv trawled XDA and tried a few things in terms of the screen settings, refresh rates, dark more, Natural instead of vivid, disabled apps, power control on apps, turn off 5g etc and then installing all my apps manually instead of Smart Switch on initial setup.... It’s still not lasting a day even with minimal usage.
It’s really really poor, I’m now thinking my first handset wasn’t faulty.... just this S20 is rubbish.
Issue 2: Wow how bad is the camera
So, my other issue is the camera... one of the main selling points on this handset is practically useless.
Again, coming from a P20 Pro I’m used to amazing photos, but that handset is 2 years old... surely Samsung has caught up? nope.
Iv given up using the 64mp mode because every photo is blurred, the auto focus simply doesn’t work... the standard photo mode (10mp) i think does auto focus, but there is such a lag between pressing the shutter button and the photo taking it makes everything blur.
Can anyone help or is this (flagship) phone simply a waste of time?
Just for ref:
SM-G981B
Exynos990
G981BXXU1ATCT
O2-UK
Sounds like you have a defective handset. I have the s20 ultra and the camera ****s on the p30 pro
Unfortunately, this is the situation at the moment. Still waiting to fix camera problem with focus. I read, that the S20 Ultra user no longer complain about this problem, but still here in S20+, maybe in S20 too.
The battery is very bad. I used in 60hz, because in 120hz i can't make the day. I do SOT in 4g about 3-4 hours. Hopefully they will fix things with next update... too many people complain about Exynos S20 series....
its not a defective hand set, iv already sent one back thinking it was defective but this one is the same. Looks like everyone has the same issue. I guess its the **** exynos chip that we get fobbed off with.
I presume all of the reviewers were sent a snapdragon version and the mass produced ones used the garbage processor.
So i clocked it this morning it took 7 hours and 40 mins to go from fully charged to dead. the camera is just straight up garbage at the moment, yes you say the ultra is sorted but i think they treat that desperately to the s20 and the plus which you would expect given that the most expensive handset (£1,200 in the UK).
It's because it's an Exynos chipset phone. Those are crap for battery, as for the camera Samsung post processing isn't real good. I would imagine that future software updates will straighten this out but only time will tell.
