i have the nexus S for like 3 or 4 monthjs now. i noticed that if i hide for example the notification bar on top. a slight burn in on the screen appears for like 2 seconds then it dissapears.
i wonder. will it get any worse ? what are my options here ?
if i put a live wallpaper, will it go still effect the screen?
honestly this is the only screen after like 5 nexus that doesnt have grid pattern, doesnt have dead pixels. doesnt have pink or yellow ugly colors.
What model you got?

what else would it be ? if i hide the status bar. i can see marks of the clock and the line " where the statusbar is available " for like 2 seconds before it dissapear.
I think you might be seeing some lag on your screen and just think you see a burn effect. Samoled can not get burned in.
Also, when pulling down the notification over things like android keyboard it shows through a little. It as if it was a screen burn effect.

If its there for 2 seconds and then it disappears then its definitely not a screen burn effect. It would have been permanent.
How are you hiding the status bar?

burn in has to be permanent. if it is just for 2 seconds, it might be the pixels readjusting to return back to normal.... i can't think of anything else.

You know, it is possible that its your own eye getting the burn. I mean if you have the screen brightness all the way up and switch that part of the screen to all black your eyes will get that burn effect and slowly fade out. Get a camera and record it. Watch the video and if its not in video then I'm correct in assuming its your eyes.

I think it is normal. For example I can see the status bar when XDA app is loading, throught the brown/orange full screen splash.
But that is not burn in, or it would always be there, like someone already said.
Well. What do u call that?

This is not true. At bestbuy they have a nexus s on display. You can see a slighty faded android with an exclamation symbol burned into the screen. It becomes VERY noticable when youre viewing a webpage since its all white.
My hypothesis is that the samoled pixel colors all age differently. since the status bar pixels are almost never lit up, they would show a slightly different color. But thats just an hypothesis. Its not a fact.

haha!!! at last we find a flaw in your super super nexus s
anyway, on topic, i had it too on the n1 but that was comprehensible as froyo had a whitish statusbar. this one is black ( pixels are not being lit up). i can imagine burn in with the clock or some of the green icons but the statusbar itself ??

nothing is absolutely perfect
i notice it only when im statusbarless(i get rid of the status bar in CM settings).
Have a look at the top of the screenshot of the calculator app, the colour is weird, is this considered normal?
Yeh. This is color banding issue. I got the same thing in the calculator app. Unfortunately currently there's no way to fix this

I had a similar color issue when composing email in Gmail app but it was from lower half of the screen, so it shows when screen is totally white. Was very clear in ICS rather than GB.
Sent it for repairs and after changing the back board, it disappeared in GB and visible in ICS but reduced a lot strangely. Apparently its a common issue in note and sgs2.
So i would say its both hardware and software issue.

Same issue in my galaxy note.at many places this kind of color fading which is after updating to ICS firmware.I am from india.i wish xda developers to inform the issue related to color fading in NOTE to samsung authorities stating issues in ICS firmware.

Its funny, ok let me explain, some images have this some not, this means its not necessary a screen issue, but more the way the image is displayed. Coulx be driver, dunno.
I like to compare it to tv.
Old tv was lower resolution. Picture looked ok. Watch same picture on full HDTV it looks like crap.
The same counts for movies etc.
Samsungs GB wasnt build for this notes beautiful screen

I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?
Return the phone if you can't live with it.

BDW, OP can u please post the picture of your white case on N4? Or u can PM me the link if u upload elsewhere.
I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

I have the same issue but luckily it's right at the top under the notification bar so only see it very occasionally when I turn to landscape in Gmail or something.
Coming from an S3.
Why are things like the phone dialer and texting white? It doesnt look good! The s3 had a very elegant dark blue theme.
Idk how I feel about this phone.

Same here, but I don't think this is by design. If you look at the top bars you'll notice that the gradient is completely missing. Same in the system settings menu. Something went wrong.

If you think that Samsung just missed this then you'll be sadly disappointed when there's no update to change it. It was done by design. I actually like the change too.

Yep, not wild about it myself. Looking forward to a ROM to Theme the dark colors back. I'm confused since dark colors improve the battery life.
One piece of the theme that I really like is the way the status bar has a wood grain texture when pulled down to view notifications. It ties the phone to its retail packaging in a subtle way.

What? Mine is just black.
And yes I am surprised as well because black colors are better for us.
Things like the dialer just look cheap in my opinion. Looking at the top tabs that are blue and a white dialer? What the heck.
And yes the default contact images are a joke.

Mine is black, too, but if you look closely it has wood grains running through it. It looks like wood that had been stained black.

Not the tray itself, just the status bar as it moves down the screen; the background of the area where it has the carrier name and a blue bar.

Odd. Still looks black to me. Oh well it doesn't really matter but thanks.
So yeah does anyone else have this issue? My s4 colors tend to get warmer and like have a green tint when the keyboard is pulled up any keyboard for that matter in any app with adapt display on or off and auto brightness off or on. Like the status bar turns greenish too. It's so strange.

interesting.
I want to see if someone else can test this. Open up or even reply and look at the status bar and tell me if the black becomes like a greenish tint as well as the whole screen. Then close the keyboard and watch it change back to normal.

I have exactly the same problem on Verizon S4. It really bothers my eyes as it seems to be changing the white balance / tint simply based on what's on the screen all the time. I have of course turned off all options that have anything to do with automatically adjusting the display.
I have the exact same problem with my GS4 international version. The problem gets even worst when playing a youtube video. The colour of the youtube video and the whole screen changes when the status bar is present and when it is not. The whole screen becomes reddish when the status bar is present and greenish when the status bar is not present. Any help on how to disable or fix this?

No but people seem to not realize it's even there. It's built into touchwiz. Only goes away in like cyanogenmod or something. But I'm sure it can be fixed if a dev wants to help so let's all keep this rolling. Anyone else notice it?

After I noticed it a few days ago, I think it is ok now, at least not as bad as the first time i saw it. Youtube video seems to be ok now with very very tiny bit of change in colours and contrast compared to yesterday with the same video. I think it might just be some bugs in the software. I did try restarting it many times yesterday and also disabling auto brightness, auto adjust screen tone and adapt display and that didn't help at all but now it's just kind of fixed itself
I just realised that this only happen when the brightness is set at a very low level. The effect is less noticeable when the brightness is high.
Yes so it's throttling the display to save battery and such
Does flashing cm10.1 fix the issue?
