Had burn-in on my GNex at the top and bottom (status bar and nav bar) as well as in the middle of the screen due to using BeyondPod heavily in the car. Do I need to worry about burn-in on the Nexus 4 as well?
No. It's not amoled.

Well just noticed that when in portrait while browsing that I have a ghost image of the status bar on the left side of my screen. I was thought to believe amoled did not have this problem but nothing I have done has gotten rid of it. My phone goes into standby after 1 min and I keep screen at about 80% brightness. Any one have any ideas how to get rid of this ghost image?
Might be doing a warenty claim if there's no way to get rid of it....
screen shot please...

As I understand it, AMOLED is worse for burn in than CRT screens.
Well taking a screen shot will not show it as its the screen. . I do not have another camera laying around atm or I would try to use that to show it. Basically on light backgrounds such as white or the color of this fourm you can see a outline of the status bar. Basicly darker on that side of the screen... anyone else having this problem?
I have had my nexus 7 for around 3 months now and have noticed that there appears to be a frozen image of the white elements of my home scree that are slightly but permanently visible. It is quite faint but I have noticed that things like the digital clock, and the white notifications are always visible. Sometimes even with the chrome Web browser get stuck being visible on the home scree. Is this a problem that others have and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
does it appear while taking a screenshot? if not, its the pixels burnt into the display if you left the screen on the same picture for too long.
Hello I've owned the s4 since June and today I noticed that when i watch videos in full screen i can see the status bar impressed on the screen! i can't see numbers but just the line of the status bar. I know that I can claim the warranty but if this is an issue with amoled screens who says it won't happen again? Anyway I'm using a very low brightness and a Google edition rom so that part of the screen is always black.
It will happen again on every amoled screen for sure. There is some excess of blue light from screen that diminish during usage. Top bar is black so this excess remains stronger in that area and it looks a little blueish. It's not burn in, more like under-burn

It is a common issue of AMOLED, my GS4 has the same issue just after 2 months.

Install apex launcher and use swipe down (or any other gesture) to hide notification bar
the possibility of screen burn is one of amoleds weaknesses. had the same problem with my old S2 :crying:
fortunately not yet with the S4.
first read about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937667
That's why Samsung has set the notifications bar to grey/transparent to prevent burn in.
Your Google edition rom has a completely black notifications panel.
Had it on my Note. They replaced the screen three times and it kept coming back.
Same with me s4 now.
So basically there's nothing I can do but send it back and see the problem come back again:angel:
Is there a way for google edition roms to have a transparent status bar?
Hi 2 All,
I have galaxy s4 installed offical 4.4.2, when i open setting or task manager in very dark place, i saw abnormal brightness in background.
i thinks it should be black as it is amoled.
is it normal or serious?
is it sign of screen burn?

Open a completely black image. Download a solid black JPG from google as your test. Do the same thing with a completely white image.
Look at those images in full screen mode.
If there is burn in (which CAN happen on an LED screen, though it's actually pixel fading rather than burn in) you should be able to notice it with this test.
If you see fading in the white image, or general non-uniformity in the brightness, it's a sign of fading. (burn in)
If you see a ghost image in the black image, then something is wrong. It means the screen is lighting up when it shouldn't be.
You should not be able to see a residual image on a black screen like you used to with an old CRT computer monitor. The burn is doesn't work that way. What happens is the pixels lose some of their brightness over time. It's subtle, and if the screen is fading uniformly you probably won't notice. But when 1 spot isn't fading, you notice it quickly. This is most commonly seen with the status bar. If it's always black and the area right beneath it is always colored, then the black status bar wont' fade and the rest of the screen will.

Thanks Sir,
actually it was lcd problem
So I only went for phones that ever had an LCD display, because they'd not have an issue with burn in, from experience. But high end devices with an LCD display seem like a thing of the past. So, this is my first phone with an AMOLED display.
Now I use my phone constantly. All the time. That said, I actually have the brightness on this lower than my other phones of past, and I am super critical of what I do when binge watching youtube videos, or more. I even copy the link from youtube, paste it into newpipe (since I can resize PiP there) and then have a black screen running and move the screen around for the video on occasion.
But a lot of display issues I see keep arising on other forums, and I thought... Let me check. I got pretty lucky with my display, I think, but I really hate burn in. Upon my testing, when checking grey scale, or off-white images, at low brightness, I catch a very FEINT amount where the status bar is, such as battery and such, and only when brightness is maybe 15% or less.
Now I'm extremely paranoid. I hate burn in. What can I do to hide the status bar? Maybe force immersive mode on all screens? Is there a mod I'm unaware of that'll have it display the colors of the rainbow or something? I actually dislike gesture navigation, and actually switched due to the fact of potential burn in by having the navigation bar always visible. I already accepted I'll be dealing with a hole punch on the phone, burn in is going to drive me mad.

I've used many AMOLED phones and never had any issues with noticable burn in. I even used AOD on my S7 Edge. I keep my brightness all the way up most of the time.
Look into substratum for themes that can change the colors of the status and navigation bars.
I find that I just don't have a device long enough for it to really be an issue. Typical lifespan of a device for me is about 1.5 years.

Relax. Just dive in, the waters are good.
PS you can hide the nav pill thing in gesture on op8pro. Where it's invisible.
I have had no previous issues with burn-in on a phone but did get status bar burn in after 4-5 days of use on the OnePlus 8 Pro and that was mostly indoor use at medium to low brightness. I also noticed anecdotally that it also had noticeable temporary retention (which did eventually fade)
No idea if this was just my model or is typical to the new 10 bit panel OP is using? I had none of the black crush or green issues that others had.
