Screen burn in?

I haven't used my phone too long, but today, I noticed when I switched to landscape mode, I can faintly make out the image of the taskbar on the left. Anyone else have a problem with screen burn in?

One day is really early for screen burn in, but amoled is notorious for it and I've heard super amoled is even worse.
No way you can honestly avoid burn in unless you don't use the phone....

Had mine since release. I use it about 12 hours a day no screen burn for me.

I'd really enjoy seeing the source of your information as well as the studies on the frequencies it happens. Had my Moment for almost a year, used it constantly and never once experienced this nor heard of anyone else on any message board (sdx, android forums, ams) experiencing this. I know it's anecdotal but that's why I'm asking for your source.

The Epic is not LCD, it is Super AMOLED.

There can be burn ins in AMOLED displays but it should not happen until at least 2 years or more. The only burn ins i have seen where taskbar burn ins.The taskbar does not change color a lot so it can get burn ins. You can use ADW Launcher(may be launcher pro not sure) to hide taskbar to avoid burn ins. This really shouldn't be a issue since we replace are phones every 2 years. If you are having burn ins issue I would replace the phone asap.

AMOLED doesn't have burn-in.
Technically, the pixels wear out with use, and become dimmer. It should take a long time before this is noticable.
This is different from burn-in because you don't see the image when the screen is off.
You shouldn't notice it that much, if you have pixel wearing already, you may have a defective device.

jnadke is correct in the sense that LEDs don't "burn in", though the result of LED droop (dimming) *looks* like burn-in in the sense that a ghost image appears while the display is on - it will be dimmer in the shape of a frequently-displayed image. It's simply a technical point, not negating the fact that LEDs dim over time, and certain subpixels, due to constant use, will experience a characteristic that could easily be described, visually, as burn-in.

They may not burn in the same way but they do get burn ins. Cant find any thread or webpage saying they dont have burn ins. Did find tons that say it can.
Screen burn-in: Unlike displays with a common light source, the brightness of each OLED pixel fades depending on the content displayed. The varied lifespan of the organic dyes can cause a discrepancy between red, green, and blue intensity. This leads to image persistence, also known as burn-in.[67]
http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-tech-issues-bug-reports/4995-screen-burn.html

That is really an argument over semantics. The fact is AMOLED screens will develop issues if you have a static image on them over a long period of time. As stated before it is most likely to be on the task bar. Also stated before, using AWD Launcher will allow you to hide the task bar, and delay the issue.
If you call it "Burn-in", "Burn-out" or anything else, it does exist. I wouldn't call it a major problem, but its pretty well documented. Go to the NexusOne forums on XDA and search for "Burn in" you will find plenty of people experiencing it.

Exactly - nobody's disputing the fact that it happens, just simply a different reason.

Have you ever seen anything about a Samsung (creator of the AMOLED) phone having this problem?
The phone that everyone is saying has "the thing know as burn-in" is the Nexus One, phone made by HTC. Some say it's because they don't use the right...(don't remember the word) lighting mechanism for the screen which causes it.

The Nexus One and Droid Incredible both use Samsung AMOLED panels for the display...or at least they did.
Supply shortages caused HTC to use LCD's for newly manufactured phones.

All screen types can have some form of the loose term "Burn in" some are just better than others...at least its not a plasma screen
So the best way to avoid goofy looking taskbar burn in: Use ADW and use the "Hide Taskbar" option. Argument over kthxbai
Source: Dad's a TV repair guy.

i'm an android noob and didn't know about adw launcher until yesterday. i tried it but i like having a taskbar on top. plus, it's already too late for me as the "burn in" already happened? i think i should wait and play around with the phone for 20 something more days to see if this issue gets better/worse before returning/exchanging it.

I had a n1, yes amoled can get a screen burn in. My n1 had one, barely though and didn't bother me cause you really had to look. Didn't even notice till a thread like this.

isn't this called screen image persistence and not burn-in? "Burn-in" is permanent... Image persistence can be removed by showing an inverted-color version of the persisted image on-screen. It can also be avoided by not leaving the screen on on a single image for extreme extended periods of time.

Screen Burn In

Since the Nexus S uses the same SAMOLED as the Galaxy S phones (which are prone to burn in due to its technology), I would expect it to have the same problem.
Just a heads up because someone is bound to come here complaining about it sooner or later.
The first thing people notice is the AM/PM burn in, so if you care, I recommend switching to military time

The a.m. / p.m. was removed in Gingerbread.

I will ALWAYS use ADW or Launcher Pro from now on to hide the notification bar to avoid screen burn. I also use a non-stock browser (Dolphin atm) to hide the notification bar as well.

My captivate has never burned in, but I do keep it on lowest brightness settings.

you know what? I just now noticed that!

My nexus one has burn in of the notification bar too. The white color causes it but now since its black it will reduce it. But the white text like the clock time can still cause it. Use launcher pro to hide the bar completely is recommended to reduce the time showing a static image in one spot.

I have keyboard burn in on portrait mode. Simple test. With no notifications and keyboard up pull down the notification window. You will see that the keys's outline still show. Now hide the keyboard and do the same. You will see the outline still in the notification pull down.

Oh boy; I'll let others have a go at this post.

I don't know what your talking about. The keyboard does not show through the notification bar for me

Its not permanant bro..

I've been turning the screen timeout off to prevent the screen from turning off while gaming until the game devs update for Gingerbread compatibility. Last night I left it on when I went to sleep and a scheduled backup woke the phone up in the middle of the night. Screen was on for 6 hours displaying the same image. Absolutely no image burn.
If you're seeing burn-in after using the phone normally, you need to exchange it.

Does the nexus s use a different type of screen than the galaxy phones? My vibrant uses a super amoled screen, which I believe have more of a chance for screen burn in than plasma.

Umm its not an lcd, its an amoled and they absolutely suffer from burn in. Just ask the many nexus one owners. It took only one month from brand new for my notification bar to burn in to the screen. All Samsung amoled screens suffer from this, including the nexus s will too. Unless of course you're careful not to allow any one static image to remain on the screen for too long.

Screen susceptible to Burn In?

I recently came across an article that states that AMOLED screens had problems with their screens burning in, especially the AM/PM on notification bar or the charging status of the phone if plugged in and left overnight. I also saw these problems on the Captivate thread here on XDA
So will it be the same problem with this phone?

I had an HTC Desire before upgrading to my SGSII recently. Had it for over a year and never had any problems with burn in.
I believe the AMOLED screen on the Desire was made by Samsung as well. Not sure how much the technology has changed with the super AMOLED +. I guess time will tell!

Same again.... I have a launch day Nexus One (18Months Old) and there are no signs of burn in/image persistence on the screen. Unless you are planning on leaving your screen constantly showing a static image I wouldn't waste your time worrying about it.
Regards.

There is a screen burn in post .

I bought HTC Desire when it came on market and I havent seen any screen burn in.. Also I don't have any problems with SGS2..

Good to know. But that still sucks though.
And on Galaxy S Variants the most usual permanent burn ins are the AM/PM on the not. bar that users post about.

There is a good chance for a burn in on the sgs2... but only if you use high brightness all the time, long screen on periods with no movement of graphics, so that the pixels can change.
tip: set your phone to 25% brightness (this will make the battery life even longer then 10% or 50%)
tip: set the phone turn off screen after 30 sec.
tip: Use a "Screen flashlight" app (fullscreen of red,green,blue etc) from time to time in all colors, to get all pixels changed and see if there is any problem.
triple tip

My nexus one has screen burn of the notification bar. Many of us have this issue. All amoled screens can have this problem, nothing you can do really.

That's my experience with SG2... nothing I can do about it!
I've tried running Screen Burn-In Tools (some app from Google Play) about an hour a day for a few days now and still the damn ugly burn-in is there!
Since I bought the phone from a dude, I can't return it to Samsung and stuff. Guess I should look closer when buying a phone from strangers! And I should've documented myself about the GS2 problems before buying one.
Didn't think an expensive phone could have these ridiculous problems!

Likelihood of screen burn in?

I was wondering if anyone with knowledge on current amoled displays could speak to potential screen burn in issues. The last amoled screen I had on a phone was the S4, and found burn in and color shift to be a bit of an issue. I know Samsung in particular has made some pretty remarkable strides since then in terms of the technology, but with this not being a high end Samsung panel, where does amoled currently sit in regards to burn in and color shift?

I owned a tab s 8.4 and used the crap out of it. It never developed any burn in. i think newer tech has reduced that significantly.

Okay cool, that's really good to know. I babied the hell out of my S4, so I was super bummed when it developed the burn in. I know more recent iterations of Android have designed elements with that in mind, so hopefully that coupled with newer technology will mean it won't be a problem.

I own the Nexus 6 and after about a month of use I saw image retention where the nav bar is-so I disabled the navigation bar via build prop and started using LMT-no retention or burn in since then....I would most likely do the same with the Nexus 6P....not worth the gamble.

Hi...

I had a look at an in store demo note 4 today - severe burn in! Now I know it's an artificial situation - brightness on full and same rotating images but it's still a worry. I wonder if Google would do a 6o warranty replacement for burn-in?

Historically, yes. Even more certain if you get Nexus Protect.

Don't know if you've heard, but just in case you haven't, 6P will have the latest Samsung panels, which I would expect to be similar to the one they put in the Note 5. Hopefully the burn in will less likely. I have a Note 4 and haven't noticed any burn in.
google_nexus_team 1048 points 2 days ago
Yep, confirmed: Nexus 6P has the latest generation panels from Samsung. One of things we deeply care for is the quality and accuracy of the display through which all of us connect with the stuff we care about. We created a very tight spec (white-point temperature, delta-E variance, color-space accuracy, etc) for the 6P WQHD AMOLED panel, so it was important that we use the most cutting edge panel technology available.

Newest tech doesn't mean "this is the same screen Samsung uses on their S6 line."
Could simply mean that "besides our Super Amoled series of screens we use on the S6 line, the nexus 6p uses the newest tech".
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Yea I agree with the above that it's Most likely not the same as the Note5 screen, as Samsung only uses Super Amoled which is higher quality in their own gadgets, while selling just the Amoled to the Other companies.
Having said that, I personally think the whole Burn out fiasco is really hyped alot more than it should be. Personally I Love super Amoled screen, and once you use it, I think it's an extreme eye sore to go to IPS which unfortunately happened when I went from the GS1 to the Moto Atrix, then back to the GS2 then with the nexus 4 and 5 have hated the IPS panels.
BUT, I kept my GS2 for 2 years, and just at the end of it I started to notice the burn in Only in the status bar, nowhere else. As not only the tech has come a long way since then, but also as others mentioned, there are numerous ways to combat/prevent said burn in so its really not something people should keep complaining about as if every person who uses a Amoled screen gets burn out within a few months.
I would take that risk tho any day to get to use the brilliant colors of Amoled, esp the truly Black Blacks...

It's a feature available on a lot of custom roms. Basically it's full screen mode where the status and navigation bars are hidden. Then you can just swipe up from the bottom of top to make them pop up.

I really don't think so-material design is a good thing for amoled displays since the notification bar isn't just black anymore...I have had my Nexus 6 for almost a year now and I don't have a burn in of the notification bar-there is some retention of the signal and battery icons but it goes away after a few minutes.
Now the navigation bar is a different story-I got mine disabled and I don't have any burn in or image retention there and I will be doing the same once I get my Nexus 6P.

Don't use sweeping generalizations like that because you've visited a location (forum post) where the main topic was complaining about the burn-in. That does not mean "most" had burn-in problems.

umm, ok.

I've used AMOLED since the Galaxy S and never seen burn-in yet. Had 7 AMOLED phones (currently on Nexus 6) and 2 tablets (7.7 and Tab S) and have yet to experience even a hint of this burn-in phenomenon. The only time I've personally witnessed burnt OLED is on a Samsung Captivate demo unit.

I don't see it being an issue. I have used many panels with amoled including this Nexus 6 since release.

burn-in is based on usage. i have a '13 X and the nav bar def has some image retention. i also see the fade of the notification bar. it has to be in the right background to see them, but they are there.
don't leave your screen on all day and on the same app and you shouldn't have issues.

I noticed it very quickly on my nexus 6. I believe IPS screens get image retention, which is temporary and can go away. AMOLEDS actually get burned in and it is permanent. Google's insistence in using onscreen nav buttons are why I don't liek them.

I was very excited for the Nexus 6, despite it's AMOLED screen. It was love at first sight when it finally arrived and heartbreak a week later after returning it due to burn in with moderate use.
I was quite unhappy to hear Google was going AMOLED again. This would have been an immediate buy for me but now I just don't think I can do it.
Despite it's beauty I just think AMOLED is a flawed technology. For the price we pay for most of these phones a screen that can degrade or burn in just a few weeks to a year is unacceptable to me.

'It's'?! She's your Grandmother, show some respect!

it's going to depend greatly on your specific panel. My N6 has no burn in at all and i've had it since launch. I even tested it on the app used in the AP review and don't see any burn at all. Typically, people come to forums to complain about an issue. Not too many people go running to the forums to tell everyone that their screen is fine. I look at it like this: Google has a pretty damn good policy on defective devices. If my screen has issues, i feel confident that Google will send me another free of charge.
