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 ??

I have both and I love the blue. It's different. The face (screen) is awesome. It's like blue steel.

I like the blue, finger prints are an issue though on the back. Not a big deal.
BLUE....AO....SHIRO DEWARIMASEN!
Lol, get blue.
I know you don't wanna hear this but it's really just personal preference..but either way
White!
I saw the blue and thought it was just ok, that and I'm sick of black / dark colored phones..
Went with white. I always had dark colored phones as well, plus the blue looks more purple then anything! And the home button is a different color, which makes it looks ugly in my opinion.
I ordered white and I went to T-Mobile store to check them out. I left with a big relief since I still want the white.
It's of course a personal preference. If you have any doubt you should go look at them side by side.
White, it looks awesome.
blue cuz it's an awesome color

I have the blue, but went out today and took a look at the white, certainly better looking than the blue, however I still have a problem with carrying a white phone around, just looks odd to me. It's kinda like painting my house pink, eewww.
Also the blue is a finger print magnet. I have the mesh case on mine to help with that problem.
Thx for the opions guys.

I preferred the brushed aluminum look of the blue but the different colored home button threw it off. I went with white, it's all the same shade and matches anything

same here. I actually liked the blue a lot. but the metal rim has such a purple tone I can't help feeling it's gimmicky.
I have seen them both in person and after doing so, I'm glad I pre-ordered white.
I have both colors
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I went with white. As many people said before, I am tired of having a black phone all the time. In my opinion the white just looks so much better. Again just my opinion.
Blue. It looks sleek and futuristic. Here's mine...
the post above gives a really good idea of the blue, i have seen both and the white one looks very plasticky (also there is light bleeding on the cap lights for every white samsung phone which i cannot stand), the blue has an elegant brushed finish, i would go for the blue again if i ever had to re purchase.

It does, but not that much. Watch the video in this post. Towards the end, the reviewer does a crush comparison with the s3
I tested my own display with the same gradient chart shes using and it looks the same I can see to 3 on that chart. Ive also ome across some netflix movies where the shadows clip on the S4, but not on my LCD. Again, nothing major, but its still there.....atleast on my device.
A little here, has been a thing on every OLED/AMOLED device I've ever owned.
No biggie.

Also when brightness is low and I'm on settings when I'm scrolling down I can see as if the fonts is bleeding and colors are a bit pinkish. Normal or should I exchange?

There are some of us, me included, who see a red tint to blacks in a dark room. The red subpixels seem to stay on. Some folks say they have pure blacks even in the dark.
Now I dont see pink text when scrolling, but maybe your eyes are sensitive enough to see the red from blacks bleed into the text.
Do you see a red tint in blacks in low light? If so, that might explain the pink text
Sad to say, the S4 actually clips more than my galaxy nexus. A clear indication of this is in Phase Beam live wallpaper. The S4 has a trouble doing a smooth gradient on the purple shadow on the lower right hand of the wallpaper. It just shows a blocky purple shape in this area. The Gnex shows a nice gradient. Bit of a disappointment
Made a video of it. Went into AT&T today and checked the display models and both did the same thing. Might be s big problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL5TV8kuxac&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?
Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.
Mine upper side screen seems brighter than below screen.. but this condition only happen when i use xda app set to dark theme..i thought the xda app the one that problem..not the phone...

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
If you hold it in direct sunlight you will notice that its not black on the front it is a dark royal blue. Has any one notice this besides me.

S4 is the same. I know that doesn't help you, but it was well documented with the "Black" S4s.

It's black in most lighting conditions.. only if you shine sunlight directly onto it, you can notice a slight navy-blue tint. It's definitely more black than the S4, it's not at iPhone 5S black level, but it's black enough for a Galaxy device, when compared to the S4.
