I have been looking high and low and either I have missed it or it doesn't exist. I am not a fan of the touch flo, it doesn't seem to let me have all the information on the screen I would like. The one thing I really like is the large clock but that doesn't seem to be an option on the standard today screen. Can anyone help me find a cool clock that will display without touch flo enabled?
Just realised when I looked closely at the white background of the email hub, the white icons on the main menu tiles have burnt faded-yellow outlines into the screen, most likely because I had the screen setting set as "always on".
Can I fix this by placing the phone on a plain black screen for a good while? Or even switching it off?
Cheers
I didnt think the omnia 7 had a always on setting? I had a screen burn problem too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973337
Thanks for the link to your thread comera. Your screen burn-in was crazy big! Mine is just a few white bits from the main screen icons. They are only visible on a completely white screen and since I use the dark theme it doesn't really matter. They are very, very slight anyway.
The screen off "never" option is a registry edit. It has proved useful on occasion but I made a mistake one night and forgot to switch off the option and also the screen. Ah well.
If anyone wants to enable the option then here is the code but please be careful with it.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Lock] "DisableNever"=dword:0
People who have the omnia 7 can do a test with her to see if mine is defective or something? In the glow when you change from automatic to manual not, notice a big difference if they have the white background? And when at maximum brightness teem (manual) to change between the home and the other main scree apps from the white background does not get darker? And on a white background apps tb not notice the difference in whites (are grayed out)?
I think this strange..
It's not a fault mate - it's some kind of power saving feature that's built into the display. It's annoying to be honest as i too would like to use the White theme but when it dulls it to the grey it just looks horrid.
This is the only real negative thing i have to say about the Omnia 7 - i just wish Samsung had left it upto us to adjust this ourselves.
My Brother-in-Law asked me the following.. Can someone assist in answering this question..
On iOS, I use two accessibility features extensively: Zoom and color inversion
By making some Accessibility selection, I enable these two fingers.
With a three-finger double-tap, I can zoom the screen. The entire screen image is zoomed. I can then adjust the magnification level at any time Also, I can scroll around the screen to see the parts that are now offscreen since we’re zoomed. I use this al the time since I can’t easily see small print on the tablet.
Next, if I triple-click the Home button, it inverts all the colors on the screen – this helps me because sometimes I can’t make out dark text on a light background very well. The inversion makes light text on dark background which is often easier to read.
OK, nice apple features.
ICS has font size adjustment, color inversion, and contrast.
Touch control, talking robot feedback, voice control, to name some.

Greetings all,
I have a S7, and when I have a open white area, lets just go with messages, When I open up the message (text, stock) and compose a new message, I get the white screen however in the background I can see the home screen icon's very faint, with colors. I did a screen shot and when on the phone you can see the icon's, however when I move the screen shot to the PC I dont see any of the icon's, I was hoping to post the pic, but the pic is perfect. I dont know how to explain this, but it weird. I have done two factory wipe's, this is stock, I have not modified this phone. The carrier, (If needed) is T-Mobile. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

If you take a screenshot and it does not display the same as what you are seeing it means it is NOT software related unfortunately this is screen burn
thats what I figured, but its very bad, I have never had any of Samsung Phones every do this. If the display is burned, why would the icon's have color? I see only the background icons, when the screen is white. If it was burned should I see it on all the screens?

The screen burn burns in the colors a possible way to test this is change your background icons from what they were previously and see if the colours have changed on the screen where you can see the burn in..
Alternatively Get a screen test app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.dp.ustav.screentest should let you put solid colors on the screen) and set it for all white (there shouldn't be any other color showing) then for all black (there shouldn't be anything but black or a uniform very dark gray). If either one shows any sort of picture "ghost", the screen has burn-in.
Apparently it helps slightly if you set the screen mode to cinema. (Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Cinema)
Hope this helps
