Hi everyone,
i'll try to expose my problem with my Nexus S.
I bought the Nexus S in March this year by Negri. A few days ago I noticed that when on the screen are displayed very light colors (especially the white), on the screen where usually there is the status bar, you can see a halo of light blue.
I guess this is a hardware problem, but I was wondering if there was a solution to fix this problem.
Thanks to everyone who will help me
Yeah, my ns4g has a screen burn thingy. Damn white things.

Anyone but me have this problem?
Haven't checked... and not going to do either.... as it's a non issue in normal usage (i'm seldom staring at a completely white screen just to see that the status bar area has aged the screen differently) and a "feature" of amoled technology

It's there on most colors! I took white cause it is easier to see on a photo but it is there all the time! I'm not retarded!
And the worst part is that the little part that is whiter is the only part that is really sharp like it used to be, while the rest of the screen never is really white and sharp but instead has an uneven yellowish color. And it is worse than I could capture on photo.
I love my phone im not trying to mock it.
I'm not even gonna check
Because if I do, I'll notice it every single time I use the phone, and it'll annoy me to death.
If you don't see it you don't have it. It's there all the time. Of course it's only in games or reading stuff that is full screen. But anything except the black status bar!
Ditto problem.

@marber45 I've observed the same thing a few weeks ago. I think already many SGS2's displays are suffering of this

I noticed it just days before you made the post, interesting timing.
Hi All,
came across this thread when looking for a solution for SGS1.
it seems that Burn in is indeed a problem for AMOLED screens.
in my situation, I've found a burn cause by Waze (of course, any app that would leave the screen on would cause it).
sadly enough, my phone is only 6 months old and I use Waze ~30 min. a day - not much for a burn you think? wrong!
for now, I've set Waze to hide the point bar and the zoom control, but still many objects on the screen are static - including the notification bar.
does anyone has a good solution?
Same problem!
But in reality it is not a real problem..
AMOLED is still not ready for prime time, but at least Samsung is trying to improve on it with every iteration. Can't wait for 40"+ AMOLED HD TVs.
Before waranty goes off demand to change display..

Hey there, might be interesting to know on which built your phone is operating?
Mine was delivered in may w/ 2.3.3, since I'm on a 2.3.5 based rom, I got better colors / sharpness and less side effects (greenish tint)
Maybe Samsung changed the way how to control the display? (hardware drivers)
just my 2 cents..
Yes
Just changed the screen last month
Now its ok
Dunno if it will be burned again
Also dunno what caused it

Irrelevant. It's an AMOLED hardware-related thing, nothing to do with software. My screen has burn-in, your screen has/will, every screen does/will.
When somebody says their screen has none they just don't see it. Because really, all our phones one day or later will show it.
I don't use any apps that ever hide the status bar so even if I did have it, it wouldn't bother me.

Hi
My notification area is a bit darker than the rest of my screen. It's only visible when screen is white, and I can't identify any leftovers from any icons like the battery or Wifi icon.
My SGS2 is about ½ year old, and in daily use it's no problem at all, but I wonder how it will look when my SGS2 is 1 or 2 years old

What do you want us to loook for ???
Hi guys,
I am newbie to the Nexus S.. have had it since yesterday.. loving it.. upgraded to ICS..
But.. I have noticed a thin (probably a pixel width) green line on the left side of the screen.. this line is visible on white (or lighter backgrounds).. try going to the Google homepage on auto brightness.. you may see it.. it is hard to spot but once you spot you cant miss it..
I think it may be due to the pentile nature of the screen specifically the green sub-pixel.. and possibly affects all the AMOLED Nexus S handsets..
I just wanted some reassurance from fellow AMOLED SNSerz that this is a feature and not a defect on my screen.. before I am tempted to return my new favourite toy..
PS.. apologies in advance if this has been discussed before but I did do a search before posting..
PPS.. I would request you guys to tell me if my theory is indeed correct and that you guys all have this green line on the left side of your screens..
Thanks..
KKH
I have never noticed this on my NS4G, which has a samoled display.
Follow the leader @corythug
Woah I have been using this device for a year and never noticed that before :O
Damn why did you told us that >_< Now it will always take my attention >_<
Yep. I noticed it. Even received 3 replacements. I believe they are on all of them. I try not to think about it.

I noticed it a lot when a person had a blackish contact image in messaging. Glad to know I wasn't the only one!

It caused by pentile matrix used in none plus samoled screens. Each pixel is made of two sub pixels one green and one either blue or red. The green sub pixel is always on the left side so the left side of the screen will always have that green line.

Thanks guys.. you have confirmed my suspicions..
I'll just live with the "feature"
PS. corythug.. the line is not noticeable if you don't look for it.. but once you see it you can't avoid it..
Hey guys,
I bought my a500 on some super sale a while ago and it came with the screen colors a bit faded and not as bright. I'm not really complaining because it was a good deal but I wanted to know if there are screen settings that you can adjust somehow or an app to fix it to any extent? Thanks.

So. I'm trying to decide between the Galaxy S4 i9505 and the HTC One, and the only thing that bothers me with the S4 is the fact that AMOLED screens are capable of screen burn-in. I didn't see a single thread about S4 screen burn-in, but I know that for example the S3 had issues with screen burn-in too. I never used any smartphone except for Xperias, which always use TFT screens, so I don't have any experiences. My question is: Should I worry about screen burn-in or is it fixed? I would use the Google Edition rom which has black statusbar if that matters. Thanks in advance, ChongWiz

Hello friend, I too hate the screen burn-ins of SAMOLED screens. The screen on the S3 definitely had screen burn-ins (especially visible in dark rooms showing black images) but on my S4 I havent seen ANY screen burn ins at all. Yes the whites looks blueish and yes there is purple smear but the display still is amazing and doesnt have burn-ins :good:
Owned all versions of the galaxy series and I've never had permanent screen burn. Lots of screen on time keep most devices 2 years and no noticeable dimming either.

Thanks for the answers, now I'm sure I will get an S4 asap. Good day for everyone!
all OLED screen will burn in by design, include AMOLED, the different is just how serious, my 2 years old S2 have a little burn in at the notification bar (for the battery icon and clock area)
p.s. the blue color is the worst one, and green is the least, due to the material in use
In the video in the review below, the reviewer said that she had started to see burn-in on her S4 are only 1 month.

EDIT: though i have never see any burn-in on my S3 after several months, though i kept the brightness low and did not keep the screen on for an extended time with a static image.

Based on what??? All Amoled screens will burn in. All... of... them... Yours will as well. Apparently not everybody sees it but it will, 100.00% sure.
It remains an awesome screen though :good:
meh, had S3 for 7 months, not a single trace of burn in (checked with RGB full screen tests). i think people who get burn do too much of same stuff, if you message all day long and nothing else, messaging interface might burn in and such.
if you are a "normal" user, who doesn't get stuck up on one particular task all the time, you'll be fine.
I actually owned the whole Galaxy Series SGS1 to now SGS4 and i never had the burn-in issue yet to date, i owned every phone about a year and sold them to got friends of mine and still if i look at their phones i can't notice burn-in at least on the SGS3 i was last week, my GNex which had AMOLED too has a bit of a burn-in but not that you may say "omg that looks awful", you really have to look very closely, i actually think in that time where burn-in gets a serious issue you have a new phone anyway.
I had horrible burn in on my Note I.
Could see the full keyboard like a shadow.
Same with the top bar. Could see the battery icon & alarm icon.
finally got it replaced (screen only).
Burn in came back though.
Screen was noticeably brighter when replaced.

Its like a faint blue hue over the affected area in the begining stages of burn in which isn't noticeable unless you go into a display test app and look for it.

Go to a local shop and look there (those demo units). They are all burned in, i owned a galaxy s1 and mine burned in as well (screen was on for 30 min!). My little sister has a S3 and is using whatsapp alot with her friends, the entire keyboard is burned in and the top bar too.

If you honestly have burn in on a device this new I wouldnt bother with any apps and head straight to Samsung and get a warranty fix.

So i noticed about a week ago when I bring up a black or grey background there was a red smudge in the pixels about two inches long. Finally got around to contacting Asus and i have to send it in now.
Just curious, does anyone else have this?
you can see it next to storage and battery
I do, only noticeable when the screen is all black.. Never really bothered me..

I don't remember where, but I've seen something similar to this on another device. I'm guessing there's electronics pressed against the screen in those areas, creating an effect sort of like when you push on an LCD screen with your finger.
