S8 Always on display - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

i have few questions about the s8 AOD
First of all the clock doesn't move at all not after a min or even an hour and i have been told that it should be changing it's position constantly to avoid burn-in
Secondly i have set the background to "None" so i get that infinity background with blue color -which is the color of my Infinity wallpaper- , the issue here is that after 1 min ish the infinity blue color turns black
Ps : when the phone is charging the blue color of the infinity display on AOD never changes to black

This is normal behavior. Don't worry about burn-in, it does move over time. Sometimes there is image retention but that disappears after a few seconds.

S4 Very Strange Screen Problem

What's up guys! I've been having a problem with my phone that turns all red colors a little brighter, to a pinkish color. It's REALLY weird because I know it's not the hardware. When I restart, the colors all go normal and red for about 15 seconds after boot. After about 15 seconds, the color resets back to pink. This change from red to pink happens everywhere. On the home screen, inside apps, and in videos.
I have check all the settings like brightness and adapt display and nothing is out of place.
I will probably factory reset my phone if I can't find a solution but then I'll root to use titanium back up.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you saying your screen mode is set to adapt display? I have my device set to movie and I can see the change in colors when my S4 switches from the normal screen profile to the movie profile shortly after boot. Although, if you have screen mode set to adapt display you shouldn't notice any change in the colors.

Adapt display was checked. But I found the problem, it was actually the Color Adjustment setting in the "Accessibility" section.
Thanks for the reply!

Open a completely black image. Download a solid black JPG from google as your test. Do the same thing with a completely white image.
Look at those images in full screen mode.
If there is burn in (which CAN happen on an LED screen, though it's actually pixel fading rather than burn in) you should be able to notice it with this test.
If you see fading in the white image, or general non-uniformity in the brightness, it's a sign of fading. (burn in)
If you see a ghost image in the black image, then something is wrong. It means the screen is lighting up when it shouldn't be.
You should not be able to see a residual image on a black screen like you used to with an old CRT computer monitor. The burn is doesn't work that way. What happens is the pixels lose some of their brightness over time. It's subtle, and if the screen is fading uniformly you probably won't notice. But when 1 spot isn't fading, you notice it quickly. This is most commonly seen with the status bar. If it's always black and the area right beneath it is always colored, then the black status bar wont' fade and the rest of the screen will.

Thanks Sir,
actually it was lcd problem

Nightclick & LCD vs AMOLED

Last night, I went to use my night clock app with my new LG v20. On my Note 7, the screen was totally 100% black except for the numbers.
On the v20, the entire screen was stil lit - faint, but clearly still lit up in a light light grey.
Is this just how an LCD screen works, or is there something I have to do in order to get the rest of the screen to go off.
(Note, this includes the 2nd screen which was also lit - and I had the brightness at 0%).
--
BTW, this may need to be a separate thread - on my phone I notice that the auto-brightness tends to be too dark. Any way I can adjust it to be brighter when in auto mode, or should I just go to manual ?

Try turning off second screen and see what your results are.. Second screen has a seperate black light that slightly bleeds out to the rest of the screen. It was horrible on the V10 but much improved on the 20..

The night clock app has the option to turn off the notification, which also turns off the 2nd screen.
...oops. It did, until I followed your suggestion in the other thread about the more setting to enable time/date when in full screen or notification bar hidden. I'll have to get into the habit of turning *off* the more setting at night.
(Either way, doesn't help with the slight gray background color. I can probably just get used to it as long as I'm not damaging the screen by having it slightly on all night. I need to google if LCD screens have burn in problems I guess.)

Maybe I should just start pm'ing you all my questions

I use this on all my phones since I feel stock auto is too dim. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness

Use comfort view on low or medium. Will help lower the ~9000K color temp some and help blacks a hair. Faint glow is typical on LCDs. Higher quality LCDs and higher quality led's can help. Lg skimped here. Sucks they didn't even give us color modes to pick from. The colors are waaay off. But using comfort view dims the blue pixels and helps considerably.

That's just how LCD works, they need CCFL or LED back light to lit up the screen, it's not possible for it to be completely black while turned on. With AMOLED the individual pixels can turn off itself which is why the black are blacker on them. OLED screens also have very high refresh rates which eliminates flickering, this is good for people who are concerned with eyes health.
Lcd doesn't get burn in, but it can get ghost image retention. It was f***ing horrible by the end of my V10 usage.. Never had the problem on the G2 3 or 4. Just the V10, even after factory resetting.

Had the same issue my V10, that is my biggest V20 concern. . My v10 was not even a year old.
I get the engineering and cost reasoning, but not sure I like the lcd screens.

1)after a half of hour watching youtube on the screen appears a burned marks of static elements, after 10 min they dissapear, but is it normal? what will be if it took longer? will it be permanent?
2) I add a photos of vertical marks which appears not immediatly after wake up phone but about 2-3 minutes and gets stronger in time. Lines are more visible on low brightness
3)Is this blue glow on second picture is normal? It shows even when I look directly on screen

Those are normal things that happen on an OLED pannel , unfortunately.
For the first one , the solution is to increase brightness.
For the second one , you can't do anything about it , it only is visible on white screen because the display has more blue pixels than red and green.
Seriously this vertical, spinning lines are normal for this phone?

Oh , no. Sorry. Also that it's strange. I was in a hurry and didn't saw it good
Most probably it's a hardware issue , you need to replace the display through warranty..
No such problems on my Note 2. The blue lines are visible, but they are very, very faint. No twisty rainbows at all.
Have you got a screen protector or something on? Might be just a fault panel.

Screen turns yellow with fixed black lines on medium brightness

I am using S8 for over a year. Yesterday suddenly after opening camera, the screen turned yellow with reduced brightness. and black vertical lines appeared all over the screen.
Restarting, switching ROMs dint help.
The lines show up in 30% birghtness to 70%. the issue randomly comes after using phone for few minutes.
i also notieced when i have a complete black wallpaper, the screen instead of displaying complete black, very dim red pixels are active in black area.
Any one had same issue ?
