Screen burn in, fix? - RAZR HD General

I have a screen burn-in on my RAZR HD. The nav buttons and status bar are noticeable while using Immersive mode or simply by watching a video on YouTube. Is there anyway I could fix this or is it permanent?

Found this article from a quick Google search:
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/386635/are-amoled-displays-at-risk-of-burn-in
Looks like we're out of luck.

I read the article, there is no hope. What a shame for AMOLED displays, never thought this would happen to me. I can't change my phone (voided warranty)and my contract does not end for another two years, this is great. I may have to buy another phone, just what I needed...Not.

you can try this tool !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codefortravel.amoled_screen_burn_in
free on the play store.
-install the app
-open it and tap start
after a run of about 3 minutes.
my screen-burns seem to have drastically reduced.

What phone you have? RAZR HD? I've seen so many reviews of this app some of them stating that it doesn't work on the RAZR HD, I haven't tried tho, will do and see what happens. My screen burn in is pretty noticeable when In Immersive mode or in YT, which is fully immersive by default.

Yes its an xt925.
My screen burn appears only while playing videos or youtube in darker scenes.
Its not much noticeable after i ran the fix.
Make sure you run it for more than 2-3 minutes.

Green kinda hue on the screen

Has anyone noticed a green hue on the screen, its only just noticable.
I've got my note set on maximum brightness and i only notice it on some apps that i'm using.
Take using the XDA app. When scrolling thought the threads and forums i notice that the screen takes on a slight green hue when i stop scrolling and the when i start scrolling again the screen turns white again.
Is this a known issue or could it be just my note? Can anyone else test this and get back to me with your results and opinion please.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I do have exactly the same feeling on XDA forum pages when scrolling, and more generally a green tint... Slight but there... (And I had two Notes so far. The first one exchanged because of grey shades on the screen and the second one slightly greener than the first one). An I'm sure there isn't two screens alike...
I also noticed a big red splodge when using my camera. It was in low light n i pointed it a white wall. Check it out n get back.
Does anyone think there will be a fix for all these niggles?

I have had my note for a week. Try this: lower your brightness setting to a little less than halfway. Then open up a browser page that's all white. Now tilt the screen to the side in either direction, you will see the whites become green. Let me know your observation.

It does a little but that doesnt bother me too much. Its more the scrolling i was on about in some apps, mainly noticed it in the xda app. Doesnt matter which brightness setting i have it on, i still notice it in the xda app

Duno myn just went the more I used it
it's a software problem.
i've noticed the same thing happening to me, whites becoming green in hue while browsing. this issue is especially pronounced when browsing xda using the xda app, and so to determine if it was a hardware or a software issue, i screen capped instances of the screen being normal and being greenish.
result is the greenish hue was still present even in the screen capture. pics below are the actual screenshots and a comparison with raised saturation to better show the difference.

ok, i just tried it on mines, and yes its apparent. its like when you scroll, it becomes beige but as soon as you stop, the background becomes green. i would personally keep it because i think everyone has this. also, the next device might be worse. like on mines, at first i was annoyed about the white becoming greenish when tilting the device, but based on other folks reposes, it seems that everyone's does it, so i have decided to keep mines.

I got a big GREEN splodge when pointing to a white background. This is not a screen problem, it's a camera problem. You not notice only in the screen but also in the actual picture if you take it.
Found somewhere an explanation of this problem that is general to all kind of cameras that have the sensor to near the optics.
I think Samsumg has tried to solve the PINK problem by software, just trying to apply an opposite filter to the PINK, and that's why I getting GREEN

Ive got the exact same observation... But its not that bothersome. Im thinking its in the software as its obviously not a "capability" thing. I get great whites, etc.
Im just happy with no dead pixels and damn this device is nice!

Is the Razr HD just a better screen than the old Razr? I looked at comparo specs on GSMArena, and the old Razr was 256 ppi - new HD version is 312 ppi. A little spec bump in the processor. Noting else really stands out (other than no SDXC card????).
I mean, is the main selling point of this smartphone the HD screen? And, for those of you who have it, is it really that good?
How much does it cost?? In italy it isn't arrived yet
i'm waiting for it on mexico, hahahaha:laugh:
How's the data reception? What does NOT work right?
How do you all like it? Thinking about upgrading but I just don't know yet especially with more nexus phones coming out soon. Aren't all motorola bootloader's locked? How much does that effect custom roms? I would like to get it and hold out for the Jelly Bean update then root to get rid of bloatware. Can you still get OTA updates if you're rooted?
So far everything works...i did a second restart and it ran a million times better than first boot
Reception is great..call quality.. screen is awesome... speaker is a little louder and crisper..a little less bass...camera in hdr mode is sick
No lag
Battery life way to soon to tell

The HD models are using a Snapdragon S4, the first gen Razrs use an OMAP4430#1.2Ghz. S4 vs OMAP4 is a huge difference. This link is a little old, but shows the S4 and several OMAP4 based devices.

Download "lightflow" from the play store. The light version is very full featured.

got mine this evening...
my battery life stinks.... hehe (that's a joke) when i got it the battery was at 48% after 2hr 40min I am at 11% with 1hr 50min screen on time... I wasn't much more than 1hr 50min screen on time with a full charge on my S3.
notification light.. I am using light flow and I am slightly disappointed with the notification light but only because it doesn't support more colors.. but I will do just fine with the ones it does support. I just think if it supported as many colors as the GNex it would be a killer notification light.
Signal seems slightly better than my regular razr but I haven't had a chance to hit known bad areas yet..
I LOVE the size and feel of the phone... I liked my S3 but it was just a bit to large for my tastes.. the footprint of this phone being the same as my regular razr but with a larger screen is great.. did I say I LOVE the feel of this phone!
the speaker is very loud and seems very crisp the little I have used it.. I also use the HP out to my car's aux port and the audio level and quality blows away my S3...
I will just point out that moto/verizon has some really weird tastes when it comes to stock ringtones... it has lots of "DROID" variations and the rest of the stock sounds are pretty strange too.. but that is really just my opinion others may like that..
overall after roughly 3 hours I am impressed and not missing my S3 at all

honestly not really..
I don't think the S3's low light ability is that much better to forget all the ways to me the RAZR HD is better... besides the best camera i have ever seen in low light is my wife's iPhone... but I wouldn't switch to that phone just for the camera either.

Mother of GOD ! there are other icon imprints as well if I look closely !!
Hope it doesn't get darker than this ...
You won't find away around it unfortunately.
These screens are both fantastic and both sh*t at the same time. It's good technology but it isn't perfected. My original SGS went terrible. After nearly 2 years on it I could see perfectly the alarm icon and almost every icon I had on my home screen on light and dark backgrounds - It's a nice screen but it will only get worse within time.
As others have said only real solution is to keep altering your backgrounds and home screens but tbh I wouldn't bother, you'll still get burn from the time and other icons in the status bar.
Until Samsung sort them out and improve how they work it's just the way it's going to be
Whoa!! That is scary!
I have heard that there is no solution for a burn-in..? Thanks for the advice though. I'll keep changing the layout constantly.

Previous phone was HTC One. Wife has the S4. I've had nearly all the good ones. Its as good as the One or S4. Its different though. Build quality is great. Feels solid. Camera not great. Too many soft photos.
Best feature is active notifications. Changes the way you could use the phone.
Touchless working for me. After training, of course. I did have one fail on it, with "OK Google Now" in the car. Said it again and it came right up.

I like the One a lot. I didn't like Sense and converted it to Google Play Edition. Was pretty good on that ROM. Honestly, it wasn't what I didn't like about the One but what I like about the X (Active Notifications, Touchless Control, Moto Assist). Those additions are actually useful.
If I had to pick one thing about the One I didn't like, it'd be the power button. All the way on the top left. Had to re-adjust to turn on every time. Obviously very minor issue though.

As you use it more, can you report about real world battery life? I'm debating between X and Maxx. For me, 2 days on the Maxx is overkill and if the X comfortably makes it through 20 hours without looking over its shoulder too hard it's a win in my opinion.

The Great Stuck Pixel Test - Have a go if you dare!

Here's your step by step guide..
1- Download a black image to your phone - see attachment
2- Set your brightness to max
3- load the black picture
4- view in a very dark place - Under a duvet in a dark room is best.
5- Start counting!
6- post and click in poll
After a week with my M8 I noticed a couple of stuck pixels last night as I went to take a shot in near darkness. The screen went to full auto brightness and I noticed two stuck pixels. I downloaded an app today to try and fix them but found another! Just tried this on my M7 and found 2, and 2 on my iPad.
The real purpose to this thread is to see how common this is. Maybe most of the phones are affected and therefore probably not worth the bother of having replaced.
How many have you got?!
One but hardly noticeable lol
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------
I could have got it replaced but I got it online and really didn't want to wait three days for the new one lol
I have 4. I never noticed them until you started this thread, so I'm going to blame you lol! JK... they're hardly noticeable unless the screen is on full brightness with black backround. All other colors come through as they should.
No stuck pixels here on my 2 weeks old mate. Really happy about my phone.

Sometimes they come like that from the factory, sometimes they develop later on, but usually if it's free of defects from the beginning it will stay that way.
