Doesn't seem like the clock or battery icon move around like Always On mode. Will this eventually cause burn in?

No. Amoled displays don't suffer from that. Even high quality LCD displays like found on the iPhone will have a hard time causing burn in.

The information provided above is false. Amoled screens can suffer from burn in. However, with the Always On Display, the clock moves around every 3 minutes or so to avoid burn in.

He's asking about the night mode, which puts the clock on the edge of the screen. It doesn't move around in that mode.
I don't know the answer, but I don't use it for that fear.

Well the numbers do change every hour and minute so I think it would be hard to get any noticeable burn in.

I was wondering this and also worried about burn in , so I turned off night clock because it doesn't move, and I'm asleep so I don't need it on.

I doubt it, the brightness would be low enough to minimize the risk of burn-in.
I don't think it would. I have mine set to only stay on from 1AM until 5AM (the hours I'm most likely to wake up in the middle of the night and want to see the time.)
I don't think 4 hours is enough to cause burn in being how the pixels are lit up very dim when using the night clock.

The pixels are stilll active though, shortening their "life". Will you notice any burn in or difference in screen quality in that area within a month or six? Probably not, but it'll burn in (or, leave a mark if you want) no matter what after 24+ months. AMOLED is a tricky technology, so I personally stay away from "AMOLED black" themes and whatnot. Why? The black areas are turned off, while the colored/lightened pixels are lit up. The areas that are "off" will have a longer "pixel life" than the ones most used, so it'll make a sort of "ghosting" effect after a while (2 years+). Using a theme or whatever that's "even", i.e not on and off at different places will give me an even "burn out".
I have no idea how good the EDGE's panel is though, so this is pretty much pure speculation, with some facts mixed in!
At first I was also worried that the pixels don't change position, but having it on for a week, I think it's too dark to cause a burn-in.
The Always-On clock looks like it'll burn in more because it's bright even though it moves around every couple minutes.
I use a black background. I don't think it'll cause uneven wear. Every time I use a web browser, the background is mostly white. I think that's enough to evenly burn in the screen. I usually keep the screen little dimmer than normal to avoid burn in., but I'm not afraid of ramping up the brightness when I'm outside under the sun or reviewing photos.
One thing I don't like about the night clock is that it shows the alarm that's couple days out. I think Samsung really need to fix this as this is obviously a bug, or they didn't test it enough.

Everything is pure speculation regarding the AMOLED panel around here, so we won't really know anything concrete until something happens, or someone gets a nasty burn-in. I doubt anyone will get a nasty burn-in though, but I guess someone will get some burn-in down the road, but that's pretty much expected.
I have a Galaxy Note (first gen.) that I used for about 18 months before getting a new device, and I've borrowed it to my mom. I checked it out again this week after not checking it out for about two years, and the display looks like ****, but it doesn't look more **** as it did the day I gave it to her, so it's "bad" if I'm trying to edit some photos, but it's not catastrophically bad at all. The only place it's burnt in is the statusbar, which is black on pre-lollipop versions if I remember correctly.
Hi clever people
So I'm a bit confused. I found this thread because I was afraid of a burn-in caused by the night clock too.
And I won't use it. But how about the always on display, then - by using that, is there a risk of shortening the life of the pixels? In that case, I'd just turn it off. But if not, well, then it's a neat feature
Well, I have set night clock every night, It doesn't burn the AMOLED screen. It's completely safe. Try it on your own, no risk They prevent burn in, because of brightness help keep prevent burn-in.

False. AMOLEDS suffer burn in, and LCDs will rarely ever experience it.

No offense that is the most stupid reason I've heard not to use dark/black themes. White themes ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE BURN IN, PERIOD. You reduce burn in by reducing energy consumption and pixel usage.

edit: *Burn in may not be noticeable at the early stages unless you examine the screen, I used "Screen Test" app from market, please download this or something equivalent, and examine your screen closely before you vote."
So this may not apply to those who just purchased their phone, but for those of you who got your phone around launch time, examine your phone for burn in. Use "Screen Test" from the market, and go through each color, looking for burn in. Oh this is a new addition, I noticed my burn in his worse when the screen is set to the lowest brightness setting. So repeat the test after you dim your screen.
I've had my phone over 2 months, downloaded "screen test" and guess what. The AM/PM up in the notification bar has burned in!
When you download "Screen Test" app, you will notice two things about your screen. Do not be alarmed, the following is normal.
1) Very thin green vertical line along left side of screen
2)Thin gray-shady horizontal bar on top, this is not the notification bar burning in.
What is not normal....BURN IN!
Can't believe the AM/PM is burnt in after 2 months. Shame.
Samsung has to update this by having the time hop around the notification bar instead of staying stationary.
Maybe a dev can work on this?
Got mine on launch day. No burn in.

They really need to change the time and AM/PM stamp from being stationary, they need to make it hop around the notification bar, or something. This is horrible, 2 months and AM/PM is burning in!
I'm sure the signal bars, wifi, and other stuff in notification bar will start to burn in next.
I'm also worried about the battery full message that stays on all night, that will start to burn the screen too.
No burn in here. Got my phone the third week of August.
i always thought leds burned cooler so the idea of burn in never even occured to me on this phone or any other phone for that matter...i doubt a warranty calim would fix it because i think all these vibrants will eventually have burn in...it wouldnt be easy i think to have an animated notification bar, but CM6 does have an option to remove and modify stuff on the notification bar like time and signal, wifi etc.
For making me notice this, I hate you.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
I have the green line on the left side and the gray bar up top, but no am/pm.
Do you guys leave the display on while it charges?
My display is only on while I use the phone, I got it around release date
Not totally for me, but I can see it faintly coming in. I have had this phone (my third one) for almost 2 months now.

I'm kind of curious why an AMOLED screen would get burn-in. There's no backlight, so the only image we see is coming from emitting pixels. Is there a coating on the glass that burns in?

Good question. Could the following be a possibility?
LED's eventually start to die off. Could areas that are always lit, for example the AM/PM is always on, thus those LED's are dying, which makes that area unable to to fully brighten, giving the impression of burning in, since the surrounding LED's are still bright.
That's just a guess on my part.
Also, are you sure Amoled's don't burn in, or is that just a guess/opinion/question on your part?
I can't really vote since I've only had it for a month and a few days, but I don't have any burn in. It's probably because it never disabled orientation flip and I do watch a some kind of video on the phone daily.
Had mine since day one. No burn in. my phone barely makes it to the charger most nights and some it needs an afternoon charge so I definitely use the phone quite a bit.

Damn it. Did screen test. Area where signal bars and time would be are clearly suffering from burn in. Awesome! This, combined with the generally bad software is making me consider selling this and never buying a Samsung phone ever again. (Sad, because their TV's are the best of the bunch.) To be fair, it's only noticeable when you look for it during a white screen and only in that area. Still, really Samsung? I've had this phone for 2 and a half months.
Had my phone for about a month and a half now, ran screen test and am seeing burn in
.
Got my Vibrant the day it launched - July 15th - no burn in, I use it quite a bit, but have the screen timeout after 30 secs.
Surely is burning in. Barely see it, but it is visible.

Its been about a month since the launch of the SGS2. I know it may be a bit early but has anyone noticed any image retention or screen burn? I haven't as of yet and I but i do keep my brightness usually on the lowest all the time im at home. Outside its on Auto.
Also even if anyone hasn't how long will it take to happen since I know that all OLed displays including TV's eventually retain images?
I have a Galaxy S. For my phone, It took around 4 months to burn down some pixels after keeping the Screen on for about 3 hours a day. The Status bar was visible on blue background along with screen burn where AM and PM is displayed.
Best Practice is to keep changing the Orientation of the phone frequently and use a Theme with transparent status bar and switch to 24 hour clock to prevent burn in of AM or PM pixels, since they are ON all the time.
Yeah, im trying to do that as much as i can especially changing the orientation with the market and some apps.
So once your pixels gets burned in, can you change them back to normal by putting a different colour over the burned area or is it for good?
I think UK as all the Europe uses 24h clock. So no need to worry about am pm burn in.

"4 MONTHS" any sign of any burn in on my screen and i`ll be looking for a replacement under the warrenty. If this is the case then i`m afraid the Amoled technology is a complete failure in my opinion...!!!
Basically LED displays comprise of 3 LEDs. Red, Blue and Green. When they lit up all together, the form white. Unlike the LCD technology, LED's are diodes which convert electricity into Light and hence they have a lifespan. They gradually start degrading which reduces the amount of light that they emit.
Blue has the highest tendency to degrade faster, hence the AMOLED screens have a Bluish tint to compensate for the same.
Suppose you use a 12 Hour clock and you have AM and PM displayed all the time, as a result of this, the blue pixels that are present at the AM, PM display location degrade, which causes a color imbalance. I.e the other pixels emit more light, but the "Burnt" pixels emit less light. At a later stage when the other 2 LEDs start getting burnt, you can see a patched up section, which represents the burnt pixels, which could be spotted on specific backgrounds.
There is no way to fix screen burn than to get a new display. There is a HUGE topic about screen burn in SGS section. It's worth a read.
I got my galaxy s in August last year and there is a large amount of burn in especially where the clock is.
You can check the individual colours in SGS tools or the xda app when you first open it.

I haven't had any burn-ins whatsoever with my SGS. I had it since October and used it everyday. None. Just checked after reading this thread. None whatsoever.
Koreans are very critical of things they buy. They are one of if not THE country where consumer reports are spread fastest due to their connectivity with the web. Things like this is just NOT accepted over there. And there would be a country outrage especially regarding Samsung products. I highly doubt this is the case. Maybe you have a one off defect.
The Burn-in is caused by the short life of the blue pixel.
I suggest don't make blue pixel lit in the status bar.
I don't know if there has any launchers could make Time and Signal status area displayed in yellow or green rather than white.
My nexus one had status bar burn in within the first month. Still there, no way to reverse it.
But using launcher pro is best solution which hides the status bar completely.
Same here I have had an S1 since it was launched. I used it heavily every day, the screen was on a lot as i used it as an ebook reader. There is zero burn in (checked using screen test).
A friend has one as well, which he bought at the same time as me, he is very critical of every detail, and there is zero burn in on his either.

Many people exchanged their nexus one, desire, galaxy s, for a new screen and the burn in just happened again after a month on the replacement. Not much can be done just live with it.
How serious of a burn are we talking about here? A slight shadow or a full on watermark type situation??
Just curious as mine is en route but if this is as bad as some are making out then it will be a deal breaker for me....

Its very very light, barely noticeable unless you look hard for it on white web pages. This is prob why not everyone sees it cause they are looking for something much worse.
I have a slight temporary image retention on my phone, it only lasts a few seconds after using the keypad or the circular lock screen etc , but its pretty noticeable on a dark background
Sure, it fades after a few seconds, but I'm quite concerned that it'll cause lasting damage over time.
I'll try get some snaps, later.. my phone is er, 3 days old
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.

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!
I have fallen in love with the Dashclock Widget. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd try it and see if you like it. It's very elegant and informational.
With that said, the widget integrates well with the "Day Dream" function. Basically, you can set it as something of a screensaver to scroll info about your phone throughout the day. I would like to be able to set day dream to "Static", which means I have the white text clock on a black background all day while charging at work. I would also have this set next to my bed as a faux alarm clock.
I have an older 2007 Plasma TV with a burned in ESPN scroll bar because I left the screen on a static image for too long. I would like for that NOT to happen with my new GS4.
Is there any chance of screen burn in with the GS4? I know the AMOLED is a much newer tech than the plasmas of old, but you can never be too sure.
Thanks! :good:
Yes. It will burn over time. It won't be as aggressive as a LCD or plasma screen, but it still burns. You should never leave your screen on with a black background and white text for hours. You should also not be charging it all the time as it appears that you want to. Charging produces heat, heat accelerates the burn. You should only charge the phone when it needs it.

Thanks for the information!
Do you think turning the brightness to minimum would mitigate, or slow down, burn in issues?
There is also a "fade" option on day dream that fades the clock in and out every minute or so and places it on a new part of the screen. I think I'll stick to that for now.
Also, thanks for the charging tips. :good:
It will slow it down. But even with that you are looking at significant screen burn in about 6 to 8 months. Having a low screen brightness with the fade/ movement will be your best option.

The image on the AOD is supposed to move around slightly on the screen to prevent burn in. Please excuse my questioning, but are you sure it wasn't something with your eyes? Like when you look directly at a light bulb when it's turning on and you get that floating bulb of light imprinted on your eyes for like 5 minutes? (Know what I'm talking about?).
The AOD is constantly being updated via the Galaxy Apps store though. Maybe youre outdated or theres a bug currently. Wouldn't hurt to contact Samsung via the app store and report it.

Yeah I am pretty sure it wasn't just my eyes, it does move around like it should but I am wondering if it needs to move a little more. I think I have the latest update but I will double check. I guess if it does burn in permanently it would be under warranty so maybe i should just turn it back on
How can you tell if it moves or not? I can't see mine moving at all. Sometimes it's in a different position though either top, middle or bottom.

You need to stare at it really intensely for the 10 minutes it takes to move. Don't look away! Warning: You may end up seeing an afterimage like someone suspected of OP. By the way, OP, I am not sure that seeing an image for a few mins. qualifies as burn in. If it were true burn-in, would it not fade away and stay permanently?

I think it either moves very slowly over time, or the image just "pops" to a different location after some amount of time. Im not 100% sure. I've only used AOD for a little while before sacrificing it to the Battery Saver Mode. You cant have Battery Saver Mode on and AOD at the same time.

Indeed, it is just concerning. Also, I agree, I don't think it's really screen burn in but it very well could have the potential.
