How do you see how long the screen has been on? It's no longer available through Samsung's Device Care. I'd rather not resort to installing any apps, I'm just hoping this is a detail I'm overlooking.

You're not going to find it at that screen. Show me where that has a total for actual screen on time, not battery drain per app.
Nevermind, I run my screen super dim and didn't even notice the screen on time right there. Thanks for helping me open my damn eyes lol.

Turns out that will not what I was looking for. That just tells the screen on time for a particular day. I'm looking for the screen that gives details since the last charge. For whatever reason, Samsung has done away with this.

I thought I would start a poll thread to see if we can gauge the effectiveness of the latest 1.29.401.11 ota update in fixing our screen flicker problems.
It will be best to submit your personal result after a few days usage as the fix apparently takes a few days to learn and adjust your voltage before it can be come noticeable.
Let's hope the results are favourable.
Update (17th May):
Well, so far so good for the latest update, the signs are very positive for a lot of users, still not happening for some although as a few of you have said it is early days to be feeding back on the effectiveness of the update, as HTC have said it can take 1-2 weeks for the flicker to go away. Although there is a fast fix method you can try which is working for many:
Fast fix (after a full charge):
Unplug device from charge
Turn the screen up to full brightness and disable auto adjust
Use the device/leave it on for 1 hour
Turn the screen off and leave it off for 5-10 minutes
Turn the screen back on and use at full brightness again for another hour
Repeat the process for 4-5 cycles
I would then advise returning the screen to your normal brightness settings and using it as normal for a few further days to see if the issue totally goes away
Report back if you can.
I cant vote till I am on the xda app right now but my flicker is gone since today. I updated yesterday and let it on full brightness some time

I have only experienced the flicker issue once when 3G was disabled and I was connected via EDGE but I was not able to reproduce this behavior.
I will report after few days of testing. So far I can tell its still there, maybe got abit better, but need to test more.

Let's hope it is getting better for you, and after a few more days usage it will be done altogether.
These are positive signs.
It's been told that it can take up to 14 days to correct itself and you're saying people should vote after a few days usage. I'm sorry but what is the point of opening this thread right now?
I'm saying this because people don't read. They'll check whether the issue is gone right after updating to 1.29 OTA and vote accordingly. And that will cause a misleading poll for people like me waiting to buy this phone because of this issue. At least the poll should be closed right now.

I totally agree with this. The poll should be put on hold, or at least someone should vote after say 5/10 days of usage (and/or) few days with max brightness.

As it states in the OP, it is best to post after a few days usage with the latest update.
However many people are already reporting the flicker as fixed or getting better, and many people are trying the fast fix by leaving the screen on full brightness and this poll gives those 1X owners the opportunity to vote on preliminary findings.
I, and others already see the poll as useful, I am in the same boat as UMD, waiting to see if the issues are going to be resolved through a software update before I pull the trigger and buy the handset.
I can confirm that the flickering seems to disappear!! My device struggled with the flickering problem when it runs @ max. brightness level and from time to time while on auto brightness. After installing der latest OTA yesterday @ 7 pm i set it to max. brightness and used it very much, till device ran out of juice!
While it has been on charge i did NOT use the device! After full charge im running it again at max. brightness and playin' around (Whatsapp, some games, browsing). I check nearly every 15-30 minutes my battery graph because i experienced the heaviest flickering while seeing that battery screen like in the attachments @ the end of my post!
Furthermore i am checking the full grey image in the HTC pictures app again and again.
What can i say? It is getting MUCH MUCH better every hour! Before the update i had sometimes very bad flickering but now it is nearly gone! Another thing i would like to say is that it is NOT related to heat because i just played Shadowgun and Glowball and the HOX had a temperature of 47°C! After the gaming session i opened the full grey picture and the flickering has NOT regained!
You can check the flickering with the two pics i added in the attachments!
I will report when the flickering has completly gone! But i want to say that open a full grey picture and let it stay with display timeout set to zero did NOT change anything for me! I had to play around so that the display contents changed.
Didnt have it before... So cant vote ....

You're coming here to give moral support to the people who have flickering screens?
Thanks bro. I'm absolutely positive that all 9k posts are just as informative as the one I just quoted. Anyways, moving on.
How do you "produce" flickering? I don't think I ever had that on my phone.

Hi- on stock rom, rooted. Whenever I touch the screen a small white dot appears. It follows my finger if I move it.
I disabled "Show Touches" in Dev Options but it persists.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Tom
It sounds exactly like show touches. Try turning it back on and then off again. And maybe a reboot for good measure.

I did try that but no luck.
I would turn it on and reboot, then turn it off and reboot. If that didn't get then I'd just spend the 15 minutes and reimage it.

As of yet, there is no way to access the Thermal Mitigation. The hidden menu does not contain it.
I have a G4 with a bad screen and got it swaped with a new one. The whole time I thought the temperature throttlewas making my sceeen dingy and yellow but it turns out I had yet another defective LG phone..
Meanwhile, until someone figures out how to turn those TWO settings off, try my trusty app called LUX lite in the app store. Take your time to learn the setting amd jack everything up to 100%
Its sort of an override if you will. But it works like a charm. My replacement phone has a nice screen but a phone will never decide for itself what I will see. I own it and it will do as I say.... And I say 100% brightness or hammer...
Give it a try, it will keep your phone at 100% no trouble. Let me know what you think. I've been using it for a long time on my G3.
Hey man thanks for that response. I really appreciate that. I'm going to check it out now. Wish lg wouldn't have went that route.

I just noticed today that there's some clouding/image retention on my 4 days old Samsung Galaxy S9+!!
It's only visible under dark environment and only in the "Unlock" screen (when it dims the brightness). To replicate this, make sure you have a darkesh plain wallpaper with one of the security locks turned on (pin, pattern, iris, or face), swipe the screen to show the chosen unlock method. This is when you can spot the clouding/image retention/burn-in on the top status bar. This problem appears to correlate directly to the status icons (time, notifications and carrier name).
Another colleague of mine has a S9, and it has the same problem! The phone shown on the photo is actually his, but mine exhibits the exact same problem. See attached photos.
Does anyone else notice this?
I see it on mine too, but that's not the image retention or burn in. It's too early to get burn in only after using it for a few days. I think it's just the software try to blur the status bar icons. You can try display different thing on it and the blurry white cloud will display.
I see this on mine also, but raksan is correct: it is just software blurring to hide the icons.
Try this: play a YT video in 16:9 ratio. Don't expand it to the whole screen and leave the black bars. You'll see that there is no burn-in/image retention on those black bars.

They should probably just hide the icons instead of pseudo hiding them and freaking customers out though. I bet they'll get enough calls over time where they'll push a small update. Lol
This is on mine as well but not just the task bar but the navigation bar as well. Still just the software?
Nope, it's burned in which is bs. I switched the nav bar directions and the back and recent buttons are still showing where they were in the burn. If it were ghosting then they should've switched as well.

Then you must leave your screen on 24/7 and never turn it off. If you don't, then it's not going to burn-in that quickly.

I am on the beta Android 10, Unlocked Galaxy Note 10 plus. When I go into device Care and look at the battery stats I don't see anywhere that it shows how long you have been off the charger. Previous versions did. It's not that big of deal but I always like to see battery % compared to how long I have been off charging. Maybe it's somewhere I'm not looking. Any one noticed the same thing? Thanks
