Burn in already? (Screen included) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So guys I'm kinda worried, I just got an s8 today and check this picture from contacts:
https://ibb.co/nLKobQ
As you see, the most left part (that is usually all black on most applications) is darker than the rest. Is your s8 like this as well or just mine? Not sure if its supposed to be like this or I should have it replaced. Thanks!

It's supposed to be that way. You can choose what color you want the navigation bar to be and the default is off-white.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks! Was gettin worried...

That's normal though. As tharghan mentioned the navigation bar is off-white by default (which is sort of like a VERY light gray) and this helps prevent burn-in.
It's most likely not going to become an issue as soon as on other phones like the 6P and Pixel since the navigation bar and buttons consistently change color when you switch apps. If you notice the navigation buttons are white on the home screen but they turn dark gray once you go into an app.

(REQ) Make the bottom bar half the size?

Hi there,
is it possible to make the bottom slider bar in manila about half the size?
Reason is: When it's completely transparent there is a "cutoff" of images in the photo tab and programbuttons in the program tab and maybe thats the reason why its normally solid in all other tabs except the home tab.
So is it possible to make the bottom bar like half transparent, half solid? making it a bit smaller i mean so that it ends at the place where the tab contents cut off?
Made an example image here, I want the sliderbar like the red tint I added.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
you can see what i mean by cut off very good on this picture with a transparent slider:
normally the slider is solid and it wouldnt matter if it cuts off behind the slider. but i dont like the look of it. a solid sliderbar just covering the empty space would be perfect.
I think it would be better if there could have a page break on the programs menu, so the bottom icons won't cut the other ones!

Screen Issue!!

Hey guys, I usually dont do this (makes me seem like a real noob) but im having a bit of a problem here. If you guys could check your xperia's for me, that would be great.
i have a x1a, being used for cingular right now. For some reason, on bright, all white screens, the top and bottom of the screen (about .3 inches) is yellow. Cant notice is unless you have a all white screen on. Just wondering if this is normal, and what you guys think this could be.

actually my xperia doesn't got it, odd situation.
You bet it is.
I thought only I had this issue. One cannot notice it until in a normal room with white wallpaper on xperia.
Any other ones tried this?
Just checked mine (X1i) and no yellow on a white screen.

Google search widget question

Quick and dumb question:
I just put this widget on my homescreen and noticed the voice search button (the mic on the right) is now an orange and green circle with a mic instead of the standard graphic when using quick search (square button with a grey mic).
I don't remember it being like that and only just noticed since I didn't have this widget active, is this a change with the OTA update google rolled out or is something funky with my phone or was it always like this and I was blind?

Any thoughts on how to fix?
------------------------------------
Just noticed this is only when I'm using Home++. Anyone else with this?
It's something with your phone.. mine still looks like yours used to..

Wow, I wonder what could have caused this. I did the manual update - maybe I should do it again?
Just to make sure here are pics attached. The orange circle is what I have, the other is what I think it should be.
Actually, it should just look like the first one, but with the grey microphone icon instead of that orange circle. The second pic is the "Quick Search Box", which is different than the widget...
I think reflashing the update MIGHT work... only one way to find out.

this this problem in my nook screen ... or something normal .... or what? :S
I see that also when I unlock.
It hasn't made any trouble for me on the nook touch or the glowworm. I'm not sure what's doing it but have decided not to worry about it
I know what the problem is:

You can use the images as they are or edit the message one.
This only shows above the arrows because the EPD mode is changed to DU for the 4 arrows.

cuz i have asked a friend of mine and tell me that not happen with him and then i get worried and i decide to put my problem here for everyone
If your screensaver happens to be be either solid black or solid white there you will not see the phenomenon.
Of course this problem is only cosmetic.
Just use the images mentioned above and the problem will be solved.

Some reports can disappear by themselves for an indefinite time. Some use a custom kernel to remove it.
But if you are still in the warranty period, better use it
