Hello, I want to buy Galaxy S7 Edge, but I'm heavy user, about 6 hours on screen daily, my question is AMOLED survive without burn for 2 years of such usage?
My friend still using Galaxy S1 which is 5 or 6 years old. I think it's ok.

Quite impossible to say, so the short answer is "we don't know".
Burn in? I never experienced such thing on all my Sammy devices. New oled screens don't have burn ins

My family has various phones with Amoled displays, some well over two years old, and none has shown any signs of failure or burn in. Don't worry about it.

This, my Galaxy S2 never had an issue in the 5 year of use and it is still running like a champ. As long as a Samsung phone wasn't made on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon these things are rock solid :laugh:

That is so funny... I always check the manufacturing date.... Monday morning phones I always have issues with... But when I get a new phone I always look for something wrong with it!

Greetings fellow Tab 7.7 Owners.
Today I stopped by the Verizon store to check on an issue I previously posted regarding the proximity sensor (I do not there there is one installed in the i815 despite the Samsung website claims to the contrary).
So anyway, I picked up the Tab 7.7 on display and opened the market to install an app that uses the proximity sensor (it did not work BTW).
!!! However... !!!
While in the Market, big as life, I could easily see the home screen image burned into the display. I opened several other apps and all had the same effect. I even rebooted the device to see if it might be some software bug that was ghosting the image somehow, but the problem persisted. The home screen is simply burned into this device. Now this probably stays on 24 hours per day however, I was surprised to see that modern devices could suffer from this ancient problem.
So...
If you leave your device plugged in for some time, be sure to let the screen time out. (Settings>Applications>Stay Awake> leave unchecked)
I just decided to get rid of both of my Samsung docks I purchased.

All of my amoled devices have burn in and they are all set on lowest brightness. I try to minimize the burn in on my p6800 by hiding the status bar.

SAMOLED is different with your LED backlit IPAD display.. it's not a matter of Cheap Vs Apple premium, if your IPAD have the same AMOLED screen, even thought it's an Apple, it'll exhibit burn in issues as well.
Strange that my tablet is on all day as my desktop clock and live album and gaming/movie at night, but still no burn in appeared yet (except that mystical faint circles that every unit has). I think you could just take yours to local service center and spill all your guts out to force them to have screen replaced. Just my little two cents.

crap argument of an apple fanboy: ipad uses IPS-LCD, 7.7 features AMOLED (hd plus blabla).
in contrary: amoled is the FAR more expensive tech, although it tends to burn in (which is tech immanent and can't be eliminated totally)!
inform yourself before posting such nonsense!
Hi boys.
Maybe we should shut this thread down. No need to start a pointless flame war.
My only intention was to let people know that the screen burn-in on this device can certainly happen as I saw it very clearly on the in-store demo unit.
I just thought people might want to know so you can moderate your usage patterns to avoid the problem.

Oh I read yours wrong...I thought you said YOUR unit has burnt-in. :laugh:
Nevertheless I think your post should remain open. I'm quite amazed that how quickly someone would jump into any post to compare Apple's product against everything, just to be shot by facts. This isn't bad at all.
So i bought it when it was released with idea to not upgrade for longer bit. What can i say now. I hate looking at screen with pink color tint in the corner and i hate to touch noisy wigly home button. Men that screen is stabbing my eyes.
You obviously have a defective handset!! Don't judge a device when you don't have a fully functioning one. I've had mine 6 months now and I've had no issues.

Sounds like u got a deffective device thats a bummer should have taken it in for warrenty when u noticed it. I just picked a s6 edge up a week ago and i love it, it will easy last me 2 years.
In my country they dont change device into new one only because "i think this is defective device". At beggining screen seemed ok, and did not catch that wiggly home button. but after using this phone for over a year i feel dissapointment. If screen was ok and home button firm, it would be excellent device for me. now my eyes are bleeding when i see that tint on corner of my screen. 600€ for luxury flagship lol. scam
pic is taken with good old xperia z3 compact. never had any troubles with it, never felt like rubish compared to s6...
You've been obviously scammed by buying it. Have you even tried returning it?
I live in Iraq! and I've got refund for 2 devices from Samsung in the past.
maybe you have a fake/counterfeit S6
Nah not fake rooted, knox wrecked by chainfire root, using back to note rom with adam kernel. and tripped knox before noticing problems. i know it shouldnt void warranty, but as far i know gives lots of troubles when having to deal with warranties
oh sorry about kernel, its arter97 v11

If you've been using your S6 for over a year, then I suspect it might be a fake.
oh sorry detective carrot : Released 2015, April. fact about time was not correct because i am not thinking about it constantly, bought just after release. and that makes it fakes? you are fake
also thats offensive to say, that i could not tell difference between fake and original after using it that long. even when purchasing it, from authorised seller.

Exactly because the phone hasn't been out in the market for that long, it was unveiled at march 1st if i'm not mistaken Lol

Why taking it personally and bring offensive when people say it's a fake? We are just moving you in to the right direction to check for yourself if it's a fake or not. There are various of methods to check whetever it's fake or not.

Apologies if I came across as not helpful.
A screen with that pink tint definitely isn't normal and would seem to be defective. As it's under a year since you bought the phone, would you not think about trying to get it repaired under warranty (it shouldn't really matter that you've rooted/tripped know or whatever).

Yeah well i guess, when galaxy S7 will come i will not buy it, for at last half of year, read xda for all possible issues and decide should i get it or not MAYBE this time they will make proper unit, and yeah, many people have this issue, with pink tint in corner, and wiggly home button, thats pretty "standard" and "normal" for this device it seems.
Just my two thoughts... I wouldn't normally reply... but this topic absolutely doesn't make any sense... you had your device for over a year, you tripped knox etc obviously invalidating warranty ( unless EU) and now you starting a topic abt how disappointed u r with your device... take your grief somewhere else, every device can develop some problems over time, but bcs u were smart enough to trip knox knowing u will loose warranty... well now is on you..

Standard and normal, go on where's your proof? Show me how many other people have reported your issues, you have a faulty handset, live with it, no one cares if you don't buy another Samsung device again.
i believe that most of "consumers", that are buying this phone, and dont even know basic stuff about it, such about chipset, ram, resolution, etc., would never spot those defects, so imagine, how many faulty screens are being used daily, without even noticing this problems i bought used samsung galaxy s3 neo for my girlfriend to use, it have screen burn in that are visible on white backgrounds. did she notice? ofcourse not.
Does your screen have any sign of burn in ? If not what is your precautionary routine do prevent them. Thanks.
I own it since it came out. No burn in. No precautions made.

Quite a relief.
Ive owned it since it came out. But the audio in both the ear piece and speaker have decided to stop working a of yesterday
Had it nearly 3 years now with heavy usage. No burn in no dead pixels. Still works great!
Owned mine since the day it came out here. Status bar is burned in a bit. When I rotate the screen I see a color difference where the bar usually is,especially on whit backgrounds. I've had this for a year probably. No dead pixels though and the burn in really isn't that bad. I don't notice it when watching YouTube for example.

No burn in here, zero screen problems (apart from sometimes having a green decontrasted tint to the screen after unlocking, fixed by turning the screen off and on again)
Owned mine since came out , no burn in , no dead pixel , no precautionary routine to prevent
Two years and a half now, some burn in, barely noticeable. Kinda pissed about it, but you can't really get away with it on AMOLED.
Nothing at all on my screen after 3 years .

Own it since April 2014, no burn in what so ever, no precautions. Bought a slickwrap and replaced the battery, still working like a champ to this day. Planning to give it to my girlfriend and getting the s7 edge, just because I don't like keeping phones for more then 2 years, otherwise I could easily have used this for one more year.

Excellent report. Thanks
Mine is working flawlessly,i dropped my N3 in the water but still survived. the only problem is Flash Light became Little bit low which i never Use
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. The other day I noticed that in apps with a white background color, I would have horizontal pink lines on the screen, sometimes vertical, too. It drove me crazy enough that I went to the Samsung service center close to where I live, and the guy flat out just told me that the screen needed to be replaced. I didn't leave the phone with them because I kind of need it, but I will have to eventually.
Weird thing is that there are no dead pixels - all the pixels are fine and went through the pixel test with no issues.
Anyone else experiencing this? Pretty frustrating since I got the phone less than 2 months ago.

Hey I think I might be having a similar problem, it started to happen yesterday and about a third of my phone is now constantly turning pink. If your problem is like the one below then let me know and I'll keep you informed in what Samsung say when I contact them later today
Just realised I can't post links yet but the images are here imgur(dot)com/a/YBA5o
Same thing started happening to me a few hours ago.
Definitely a hardware fault.
Mine was purple smudges and washed out, sent out they replaced the phone, its a hardware/factory defect.
Yeah definitely a hardware problem. I took a screenshot of the pink and sent it to my computer so I could view it there, and the screenshot was absolutely fine and pink free on my computer, so yeah, hardware problem like the people at Samsung said.
Just sucks that I can't get a replacement unit because I am over the 30 day period. That is just bull**** if you ask me. The phone is still brand new and doesn't even have a hairline scratch on it.
Sorry to necro this thread but the same thing happened to me again, after the screen was replaced the first time. Now it's gone in for a second time. I think this is a pretty well known issue with certain S7 Edge productions. Really even scared of the Note 7 now because I believe it's happening because of the edge panel.
2nd phone with the same issue, 1st time they replaced the phone for brand new, now the same problem... it happens only on s7 edge duo?
Past 31st I bought the S7edge black pearl version. When the Samsung sales executive unboxed and switch on those pink lines were displaying. I was shocked to see those. Immediately they asked me to wait and replaced a new one. I waited for an hour there and browsed my phone completely so that there will no major disappointment.
Just shared this incident on seeing this thread.

sam**** at its best again!
after note 7 failure they dont even care about this as they also updat bugs in 1+ old premium non premium devices :/ and then they launch new devices with smooth OS and higher price tag!
i had NOTE 4 EDGE from last 1 year. recently i saw a green line on my edge panel and after a day it disappeared. i sold out my note edge! em not gonna buy any sam**** device again to $900 !!!!! the lines on screen issues are common in note 4, note 4 edge, S6, S6 edge and now S7 EDGE :/ just to sell more note 5 and note 7 but both faild
now its s7 edge turn to face these all bugs!!!!! cox S8 coming! RIP
So ive seen two reports http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-s7-edge-explodes and http://gothamist.com/2016/09/12/samsung_exploding_phones_lawsuit.php i just bought mine on amazon the g935f model its coming today i didnt read those reports before i ordered it, is anyone experiencing something crazy like that, because both happened while not being charged so just worried. Sorry if this isnt the proper place to post this. Just worried it doesnt explode my ass when it in my back pocket lol so what do you guys think got 30 days to return it lol
Problem lies with the Note 7 and their batteries, S7 Edge uses different batteries and those were flukes just as iPhones exploding or other smartphone batteries exploding.
Anything with a lithium ion battery runs the risk of exploding. Enjoy your 935F.
thanks guys got it and looks super cool lol not gonna root it i actually like the stock rom
Had mine 2 month and tonight the screen has just gone totally not been near any water
