Ever since nougat update I can see screen burn in top right where time is displayed. What do you guys recommend? Should I use warranty? Will it increase?
Me too have this problem

I've once replaced. The replacement screen started burn-in after one month.

It is a common problem with every LCD hd displays and amoled displays
The software puts a lot of brightness in the screen, and the screen can't handle this. Use the Bluelight Filter app with the black filter in 5%. The LCD of this phone is not designed to support super white-brightness screen.
Has anyone who used the application had any problems again?

I've used it. Almost no burn in but you can see some if you observe closely. Now i just use color calibration in custom roms.

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.

Same here.... just became aware of this now...
Opened Angry Birds and there it was!
Already have Burn in on the Nexus S
LOL I am sure this will cause a ruffle tuffle. But I know how you guys like to ***** about stupid **** so here goes.
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.

this.
its an lcd not plasma. you wont get burn in this quicly if any. you have an issue with your phone.
the other day someone posted something like that. about burn in issue in weird vertical lines. i thought he is talking about the screen grid pattern that its more obvious in some poor designed screen than others.
..............
HOW ON EARTH SAMSUNG MANGAED TO GET AN LCD SCREEN WITH A BURN IN ??????????????????????????????????????
is their QA/QT a big friggin ZERO ???????
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.

hmm weird i dont remember having this on my galaxy S. this is really weird to hear :/
I just realized my screen has some burned in. I mean, like the clock on the top right side. When I'm viewing video, I could still see the stain of the clock. Does anyone have the problem?? I've switched ROM and still see the burned text/clock..
I repair TVs for a living. And if its true burn in ... its permanent ... however for that to occur you would of had to keep the screen on for quite a while and a steady long period of time

It can happen. I have the AM/PM burned in on mine, but it's only noticeable if I use Screen Test app.
I suggest you toggle the AM/PM off if your ROM allows it and use a thinner font. It's also a good idea to avoid white or bright themes.
My phone is less than a year old and I've noticed the same thing too. I've noticed letters from the keyboard a few times too.
My Vibrant has the same thing. It's not noticeable most of the time for me so I dont mind. I also had a Captivate last year that had a blue tint burned in around the entire perimeter of the screen.
I've had my phone since august and no burn ins here.

Just call tmobile they will send a replacement. Ive sent two phones because of it.
Backup before you call. They will want you to do a factory restore for troubleshooting.

Me too. rush pipe game cause some temporary burn in on my phone. I stop playing the game.
AMOLED = Miniature Plasma's?
If our screens behave anything like a plasma i'm wondering if you can fix it by using a similar "screen wipe" method that is used in plasma's. A lot of plasma owners confuse Image Retention (IR) for Burn In (BI). Burn in will never go away, but image retention will. If you don't want to send your phone back, you may want to try using a flashlight application that turns your screen all white. That way your screen is firing at full brightness and hopefully it can get rid of those ghost images on your screen.
funny to come across this thread...seeing as i just noticed my stain yesterday.....same thing for me, its the clock
could this be grounds for a brand new device??
I had a slight burn in since December of the AM/PM. However since than I changed to Military time and now I can only see the M in the clock area. It also helped that I changed ROMs and such. However It can get annoying. I may just have it exchanged though. Knowing that I will most likely get a refurbished one...
It is because of the AM/PM burn in that I try to use the hide clock option in EDT roms and CM roms. No more burn in!

Hmm, I guess if it isn't true burn in, that would work.
Only way to test that is if your getting a replacement for burn in, go ahead and try that, running your screen at full brightness all white, and see if it goes away.
I've got S4 ~ only weeks old for now, barely used it and got the numbers burned in on the screen barely visible in blue background so the screen burn in started in that area clearly (they have been present for more than a week) i changed to swiftkey in order to avoid the whole situation and i always hide actually my keyboard when not in use and such. however the weird part i feel the numbers are becoming more visible now in the blue background than they were before i change the keyboard? does the detoration keep happening in the same area even tho i changed the keyboard itself ? is there a way i can prevent it from happening. and the status bar if possible i want to hide it but keep being able to drag the notification center?
thank you
anyone got any idea

There is an app that claims to repair burn-ins by scroling black and white bars. I have the app (pro) myself but haven`t used it yet to repair burn-ins. Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester.

That is a myth. Once the screen is burnt in there is nothing you can do. Claim the warranty.

now the burn ins got even more as in more places and such, thing is i'm abroad now and samsung as other companies warranty is not international sadly. i have this display tester pro app and tried it for some minutes didnt see any difference maybe i've used it wrong. weird doesnt that mean all s4 will get at some point burn in. weirdly thought amoled tech have been advanced at least to the extent that it doesnt burn in that fast :/
i heard there is a way to make inverse of burn in and leave it on so that burn in goes complete screen loses tiny amount of contrast but become equal fully once again something of that sort... is it possible any suggestion :/ never going for amoled again (coming from iphone)
I had this problem on my old HTC One S (similar PenTile display), so I've learned my lesson now and run a screen burn tool every night to prevent the problem from happening. It must be done on full brightness.

Yeah, burn-in is one of the reasons i went with an lcd phone, i was paranoid about it happening with my S3, running white screen deadpixel finder at full brightness every couple of days, move your icons around, keep your brightness as low as possible, there is an app called "burn in Savior" for the notification bar i also used "go launcher" to hide the notification bar, also change your clock on the n-bar to 24hr so the am/pm don't burn in.
You guys should see the HTC One M7 screen it`s glorious, no burn-in worries.

Had the HTC One, was a nice device but like all phones it has its disadvantages:
- trapped within the CID, unless you have S-Off and change CID manualy
- Unlocking the bootloader may cause warranty issues, even if relocked
- Slow updates
- No removable battery
- No external SDCard
I suppose you have to decide what is more important to you!, I would love an S4 as well. :good:

Running on the assumption that its a dead pixel the only way to repair it would be replace the lcd but its seems quite drastic for the sake of one pixel.

The pixel is visible (bright, white maybe?) so it's not dead, just stuck.
And no, stuck pixels are not fixed under warranty unless they cross over a certain threshold (a certain number of them over the whole screen, or another, smaller number if they're all close to one another).
But it's not the phone's fault, almost all screens develop these over time. My old screen had 2 of them in under a year.

The navigation bar seems to have burned into my screen. I can still see it when I'm turning the phone on and when an app goes fullscreen. (Dimmer then it usually is. Mostly on grays.) Hopefully it'll just go away on it's own. I'll update this tomorrow if it went away or not.

I have seen screen burn in my brothers Moto G4 plus he still has the problem
Yup, burn in still there.
It's dimmed now. It's still there but you can barely see it.
No burn in problems here. I've been using one button nav since I got it though.

If it's not as noticeable now, then it probably isn't burn in. Burn in occurs on LED panels, not LCD (which this what this phone has). Historically, this has been a problem with Samsung and their AMOLED screens, not with IPS LCD screens.
