Nav bar burn in - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

HI
I recently bought this phone and i hate fullscreen gestures so I decided to use Nav bar only but i'm worried that this will cause burn in issues for long term usage , so my question is , Does nav bar have a burn in protection ? or if you guys are using nav bar for some time , did you notice any burn in ? because I didn't notice any movement in nav bar pixels !
thank you

if you plan to treat it like a demo device and expose screen for 24h per day without using any app, then yes it will burn after over 1 year. in any other case navbar moves when you use some apps, so don't panic

Super amoled should have a bit more resistance to burn in as compared to normal amoled's.

Navigation bar

So as a former LG G2 user, I am so used to full screen that I just can't handle the navigation bar on Nexus 6. My workaround was an app called ultimate dynamic navbar. It does the job pretty well. Do you guys use your phone with the nav bar? It just bothers me a lot when I see it in full screen lol.

You could use a launcher like nova. It allows you to add gestures to do certain actions. One of them is pulling down the status bar. You could for example make it so that pulling down anywhere on the screen when you're at the homepage, would pull down the status bar.

yes i have the same issue, i did the following
install xposed
install xposed module - dimensions editor
change to whatever size you want.
for me dimension editor v2 doesn't work, so use the previous version.
thanks @cybervibin its really works
And also the screen touch anywhere randomly for few minute's and again after few hours its there any fix for this ?
sounds like you dropped your phone in water, no just wait for it to pass.

Hiding Status Bar/Nav Bar to Prevent Burn-in?

I'm looking to get a Nexus 6P, but I'll be using it for around two years (give or take, depending on what devices I can choose from in two years), and I've heard that AMOLED burn-in may become prevalent within a year or so. For some probably won't notice, even I probably wouldn't if I didn't find out that burn in exists, but I'm paranoid, so I'm thinking to use GMD's Hide Nav Bar (Root) app that I've been using on my Nexus 4 (for the sake of extra screen real-estate).
I'm wondering if this will minimize and effectively prevent burn-in of the Nav/Status bars? My main concern is the Nav bar, as Samsung's devices don't have them, making burn-in far less of an issue.
well it does minimize the effect but honestly I did not notice the burn in on my N6. I didn't even know that such thing exists. after reading an article about it, I downloaded an app and saw how nav bar area was worn out more than the rest of the screen. I was able to notice that only because the app creates a high contrast ratio between the nav bar and the rest of the screen.

Yeah, I don't think I would notice it either if I didn't know about it, but since I'm paranoid I'll probably get root and at least hide the nav bar
A launcher like Nova can hide the bar without having to root.

Not in apps though, which isn't as nice as being able to make use of the extra space.
custom roms like pure nexus have options for expanded desktop which hide the status and nav bars until you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. which after you swipe up they only appear for as long as you need them.

Yeah, the app I'm using is pretty much the same. The status bar/nav bar are the only places that are still affected by this issue nowadays, no? Unless I leave a static image on for hours, of course.

New update is annoying

I just have updated the new software today. The good news is that we can hide the navigation bar. The bad news is we only have 7 colors for the navigation bar to choose from, and there is no dark color. I use to have the black navigation bar so I found this update terrible
Is anyone share the same opinion??
This is probably to stop people from using a black background which will cause uneven wear of the display.

Maybe not the answer everyone wants but this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaouan.skinnednavbar&hl=en works great for bringing back the black navbar. And you can use this without any of the emoji's on it; just plain black navbar.
I don't see that hide nav bar feature...

I'm a little confused, black pixels are costly?

Google it. It's not difficult.
Black nav bar will result in uneven screen wear. I didn't say cost, I said screen wear.
I have a black navbar. I have always had a black navbar. It actually helps preserve battery life. A black navbar has never caused me issues.

This app does bring back the black bar but it keeps the phone awake. So the lock screen doesn't time out in the normal way. It times out after the same amount of time you set the system time out to. This has caused major battery drain when it turns on in my pocket from the virtual home button being so easy to push (even at the least sensitive setting) has anyone else found an alternative app that solves the problem in the same way but doesn't keep the phone from sleeping?

Question about gestures

Hi guys,
I have a Pixel 3 and really like One Plus gestures as you can use the phone without nav bar and get more screen state.
I have been trying some apps but I have a question and would like to know if it is the stock behavior.
Apps I have been trying are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_US
I think they all work fine, but they all have a "activation area" which is just a bar (around 60px height) in the botton of the screen, where the gestures are detected.
But I cannot click anything under that area, I mean if there is something "under" that small area I have to swipe so it goes up and I can click it.
Is that behavior normal in the one plus? I dont think so.
Best regards
I just checked on the native gesture behavior and as far as I can tell, there is no reserved activation area for the OP6T gestures and anything around the bottom-most part of the screen can still be tapped. Each requires the swipe to actually activate.
