Screen burn in

At the top of the screen where the notification bar is there is a streak of light blue when I am on a white background. Colours don't look as good anymore either. White doesn't even look solid white anymore. Has anyone else had these problems?
I think the notification bar has burned into the screen. I used the *#0*# test and on the blue background I could clearly see the outline of the notification bar at the top.

So it's definitely the notification bar that has burned in because it is always there and the icons on it are always there. Is there any way to give the notification bar when you are on apps to stop it from getting worse?

Hide the notification bar with a launcher, i think the golauncher have this feature!

It's a known issue with this model/ amoled screen type. Get used to it.

S amoled screen has a comparatively short live cycle for blue colour. So just get used to it

Notification pull down

I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.

Textra notifications

So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

As you can see in the picture, I have 4 text messages and 4 separate notification icons in my status bar telling me I have a text from each individual person. If I were using a stock messaging app however, It would only appear as one notification icon in my status bar. Is there anyway to fix this? I hope this clears up some confusion
I think that would be how the app is designed correct me if im wrong though email the dev?

I am using apex launcher and the icon pack is tendere
I really want to like Textra, but there's another annoying feature.
If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.

Themes and Color schemes

So I'm new to the stock look of this Galaxy, I ran HD ROM on my S4. I like the way the colors looked with the custom ROM. Is installing a theme a way to change the over all look and colors of the screens/menus? I know that launchers do a little with this but I like the stock launcher for now. Sorry I'm semi new to this but any help/pics of your device is VERY helpful.
Thanks!!

Idk if it's considered a theme but if you use Power saving mode you can turn on grey scale

I was wondering the same. I think all the colors are hideous. I am returning my One M8 to get the S5 because I like the size but I can't get over how stupid all the menus look on the S5.
Unfortunately, using the stock launcher (which I also always prefer) you're stuck with the hideous S5 menu. It's a cross between windows phone and a bland icon pack from MIUI. I am TRYING to upgrade my G2, but the M8 and S5 are just so bleh.

I AGREE!! And to be honest I wouldn't mind changing to a different launcher but I really don't like that my notifications do not work with any of the main stream launchers. Like when I get a text or new email the icon does not display this.
Does anyone know a launcher where icon notifications works??
Have you checked other post about this?
Are you familiar with nova launcher? If not, look it up in the app store.

I figured the S5 would work differently than other versions out there. I wanted the opinion of S5 users.

Are you asking if it will display the amount of unread messages in the notification bar? If so, the answer is unfortunately a no.

I think we are talking about the same thing, there is a messages Icon, and email icon. When I have tried other launchers on my GS5, when i receive either an email or text, normally they display a number on the actual icon on the desktop. With the custom launcher this did not happen, I can see the notification in the top bar that i have a text or email but the actual icon on the desktop does NOT display. My question was, is this the same as on Nova.
Guess I should just download and try........

You have to add Nova launcher notifier or something like that, I'm running nova and it shows how many missed emails and text messages I have. But its at the bottom of the nova download section

There's also a fantastic app in the Play Store called Missed It, which provides counter values for any app that provides notifications to the notification panel, integration with the unread counts option within Nova, and can provide counts within fully customizable widgets...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igecelabs.android.MissedIt
It's a premium app, but well worth it (for me).

Anyway to change icons & icon size on recents?

Mildly infuriating me that I've got my icons perfect size & using the LineX icon pack but whenever I go on to the recents page I have the standard icons which are also huge, any ideas?
It was a sore eye for me to see different sizes too so I turned off suggested apps, go to the 3 dots menu then settings from the recent page.

Yeah it sucks, I did turn off suggested apps briefly but I actually find them useful, hopefully a workaround is found or something, thanks for the suggestion though!
