Galaxy S screen burn-in problem ?

hello. last night i was browsing internet and came to know that SuperAmoled suffers from screen burn-in problem if a static image is displayed for long time. I checked my screen using a screen check app and my device screen is also burn-in problem at status bar area but only visible on Blue and white colour.
is there any fix for it ? or is there are any chances of screen failing due to this ? or any other thing i should be worried about ?
thanks and please ignore my grammar mistakes

Why did you want to check that?

Burn in is a normal thing on Super Amoled screens, as i know every SA screen is affected by this "problem".

No, it shouldn't affect the life of the screen.

This will last forever. Lower ur brightness, that might slow up further burn in.

I don't know if screen flicker and screen dimming are the same thing but I encounter a similar issue whenever brightness is below 30 percent.... Other than that my Nexus is flawless besides a rare notification freeze

So, if mine is also called a screen flicker, how do I fix it?
When my N7 screen went all black out, I have to use a torch towards my N7 screen sensor to have the screen bright up again

I just got mine yesterday. Not rooted but I noticed if the screen auto turns off....sometimes it is locked up. Hitting the power button won't do a thing. Have you had this problem?

Yes, i have this problem too. Then when I have no torch beside me for the sensor, i would need to press power button for 10sec+ for a reboot. How suck it is. This is the only thing bugging me on N7

I just got off the phone with Google play. Having a new unit sent to me. Glad to hear (unfortunately) you are having similar issues.

So, no one seems to know how to fix, then it's hardware problem and have to send to ASUS?

hey!
if it is the same issue as i have (screen turns off in auto brightness or manually set the brightness to minimum), i dont think it is an hardware issue.
i think the minimum background light is set wrong in the system.
also i dont think it is hardware related, because many other owner af a n7 are reporting this issue.

So is that means only hope is hope for next firmware fixing it?

i dont know... if so, i hope for a quick fix
but you could try the app
tegra prism toggle
(costs about 1$, needa root)
maybe it helps

testcenter, thanks for the recommanded app, but i not wanna root at this moment.
I guess in the mean time just not using auto brightness and pray for not dim out again

Colors changing on s4, not adapt display

So yeah does anyone else have this issue? My s4 colors tend to get warmer and like have a green tint when the keyboard is pulled up any keyboard for that matter in any app with adapt display on or off and auto brightness off or on. Like the status bar turns greenish too. It's so strange.

do not understand you well , do you mean the icon of notiffication bar getting green sometimes , and some times they do not?:laugh:

Yes. But only when the keyboard is up. The color of the whole phone gets warmer

Maybe power saving mode?

Nope. It like changes the
Saturation a little when the keyboard tray is displayed.

interesting.

I want to see if someone else can test this. Open up or even reply and look at the status bar and tell me if the black becomes like a greenish tint as well as the whole screen. Then close the keyboard and watch it change back to normal.

I see it change a slight bit, but my face has to be pressed up against the glass when opening the keyboard to even notice. Is this really an issue?

No but I was just curious as to why it did it

I have exactly the same problem on Verizon S4. It really bothers my eyes as it seems to be changing the white balance / tint simply based on what's on the screen all the time. I have of course turned off all options that have anything to do with automatically adjusting the display.

I have the exact same problem with my GS4 international version. The problem gets even worst when playing a youtube video. The colour of the youtube video and the whole screen changes when the status bar is present and when it is not. The whole screen becomes reddish when the status bar is present and greenish when the status bar is not present. Any help on how to disable or fix this?

No but people seem to not realize it's even there. It's built into touchwiz. Only goes away in like cyanogenmod or something. But I'm sure it can be fixed if a dev wants to help so let's all keep this rolling. Anyone else notice it?

I noticed all the Hues are screwed up, even with out a keyboard being displayed. Internet surfing, playing games, Navigation.
I miss my Galaxy S2 because it didnt have this issue.
Edit:
Compared my s4 with Note2, and note 2 cilors and hues are so much better.

I don't see a change. ..

I have the same issue but mine happens very rarely. It's super annoying. Has anyone tried deleting colorblind.apk?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

After I noticed it a few days ago, I think it is ok now, at least not as bad as the first time i saw it. Youtube video seems to be ok now with very very tiny bit of change in colours and contrast compared to yesterday with the same video. I think it might just be some bugs in the software. I did try restarting it many times yesterday and also disabling auto brightness, auto adjust screen tone and adapt display and that didn't help at all but now it's just kind of fixed itself

I just realised that this only happen when the brightness is set at a very low level. The effect is less noticeable when the brightness is high.

Yes so it's throttling the display to save battery and such

Does flashing cm10.1 fix the issue?

Screen auto brightness, pitch black when I start sometimes

Hi, sometimes when I start my s5 the auto brightness is set to 0 and after like 5 sec or so it gets corrected.
However this is very annoying when your out in the sun and start the screen and have to wait before it corrects the brightness, is there any way to fix this?

I noticed this too. Together with the fact that looks like some app is hanging. Its clear to me that there a few bugs still in the system.

Help me please, Screen White balance values change.

Hello!
I have a problem with the latest version / update of CyanogenMod 13 (21/08/2016).
The white balance display changed, the colors are more muted and tenuous, I tried to calibrate the screen with LiveDisplay, but do not know which values change.
Can you help me?
Thank you!

Try setting the live display off. The yellow tint when low light will be gone

It works, but I do not know if it returns to the original state 100% as previous versions.
