Different from power off, my friends Evo has a screen off, or a sleep animation. Is that possible with the Mesmerize?

This is requires a MOD to the ROM (I've seen it only in cyanogen ROM's in versions 2.2 and 2.3) I would love to see it as well....

Sounds like a huge battery drain. As often as I turn my screen on and off it would destroy my battery life to have an animation run everytime my screen went black. Cool idea but with the battery life we have on our phones I'm not sure the cool factor would out weigh the drainage.

It's a very good point to bring up, but if you take a look at it right now it's actually already animated. It fades out and in upon lock/unlock.
What he's referring to (probably) is the t.v. power off animation (so basically it just shrinks the image down to the center of the screen before disappearing (like an old t.v) (seems to take the same amount of time the stock one takes)
I would think these would be about the same as far as battery usage, but I really don't have math to back it up.

Hmm very possible. I really hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. It's very quick but I guess it does fade some. I just assumed that was how the screen powered up though.

That totally could be true also, but my main point (hope) is that the T.V. animation is pretty much the same as it has now, just neater looking
Yes, the TV screen animation is exactly the one that my friend has. It's very quick and I don't think would take up a lot of battery. It would be great to see this as an add-on.
That would be awesome, I love how it looks when using cyanogenmod nightlies on the Droid.

When you hit the power button on the right side to lock the screen, an old-school CRT (cathode ray tube) TV animation happens on screen as the screen turns off/phone locks. Childhood...
In terms of making your phone faster, I don't think it makes much difference. Maybe a battery life thing but I can't imagine it's even material. If you use spare parts, you probably want to turn it off.

Yes, but as long as you don't keep it on one screen frequently, it should be ok. Also, it is possible to reverse the burn-in effect. I've read of people doing so by putting a bright white picture up that will fill the whole screen and leave it there for a short time.

There are apps on the marketplace that do this...look up screen test
Sent from my Droid Charge running Infinity Beta
ok cool thanks for feedback guys
As mentioned before, it is possible, but also possible to reverse. Also, a BIG thing to note, it is best to run a screen test only AFTER your phone had been off or in standby for at least 15 minutes. If you've been using the phone then run a test, you May notice residual fading from certain parts, such as the "am/pm" or "4g" since these don't change often. It may but be actual burn in tho.
Yup .... I drive a truck and the phone is in a car cradle all day long, rooted and wifi tethered to my laptop. This way My lappy is online all day so Outlook is active.
The phone has been replaced a couple of times now for various issues, but the first one I left the screen on all the time as it won't time out in car cradle mode. What a mistake !! All of my home screen icons were severely burned into the screen.
I'm charging my device, now whenever the screen turns off Boom phone gets SUPER SUPER HOT, but battery is not.
And SOD while the camera part is very hot.
Any solution? :|
That used to happen with me. Try flashing a different kernel. It fixed it for me

You set it to stay awake?
Uh. The screen is turned off while charging.
This is the first time I got SOD and the phone getting super hot to touch by hand.
Seems like my my CPU is going out of control or something..
..
Idk but I put my phone on top of an ice pack and no more SOD... Funny.
/thread
Yeah man this happens once in a while... The G2x is retarded like that. For me I'd just take the battery out and leave it for a good 10 minutes, fixed it every time. I guess you can change the kernel but either way a simple reboot and taking the battery out fixes it.
Happens randomly.
Ya try a diff Kernel, are you using the stock one that cam with the rom?

Under settings set the screen to stay awake while charging and don't lock the screen, just let it dim.

This works really well. What I do is open up clock and hit the dim button on top right. This will help with SOD and not keep you up by the bright screen.

I know the mod is probably going to lock this thread, but I just wanna tell you that today I went a local AT&T store and took a good look at their Galaxy notes there...they all got obvious burn in on the screen.. they were all the same, the charging symbol. I guess they left them at full brightness for too long..I guess what I'm trying to say here is that no amoled is better than the other and we don't need to turn to Notes when their screens just have higher resolution but still suffer from the same problem.
Pretty cool story huh?

Yeah Samsung was saying that the pentile screen would last longer but in this case will still eventually have a burn-in problem.

It's called being careful with your phone....
Burn in usually occurs from leaving a still image on a screen for a very long time. So unless a user were to leave the screen on constantly, and leave the phone still for a long time repeatedly, there shouldn't be a worry for burn in. I've always used full brightness on every smartphone I've had and none of them have had any sign of it.

In case you forgot, the notification bar with the time, battery, and signal icon is almost always on the screen. Very few applications an games are full screen so those icons will burn in at some point as they are a "still image on a screen for a very long time".

Except MIUI. The statusbar inverts colors when you pull it down.

It took me 8 months of use to get clear burn-ins to my Galaxy Nexus.
If I hold my nexus landscape, on the other end theres a bluis dark shade exactly the area where my status bar is on portrait.
On the other end there are the three soft navbar buttons, clearly visible and burnt in to my screen. The status bar is way worse though.
I almost always keep auto-brightness, guess I'll start having more from now on to avoid further damage...

Keep in mind that the display phones are on from open to close. Also that's even if they turn them off after closing. So I wouldn't be surprised if the screen has burned in.
Leave your TV on for 12 hours straight 7 days a week and I'm sure it will start to burn in.

Is there a way to enable the screen to always be on when plugged in? I would like the screen on always in the car, and don't want to use a car launcher. I have a generic dock and would like to keep it. I know the Moto phones have a "Stay awake" option in the Developer's Options section, but I don't see something similar in the GS3's.
That option is present in CM10, but I don't recall seeing it on the stock software in the short time that I ran it. Might be worth noting that the screens on these phones do seem to have a quite finite lifespan, so leaving it on for extended periods is likely to cause image persistence on any portions of the screen that have a static image displayed.
I use this app called Custom Auto Brightness that lets you adjust how the auto brightness works. I just happened to see that that app has an option to keep the screen on while charging. Maybe that will help
The software you are looking for is called caffeine. Free on the application store.

You could also check out Llama. It does quite a bit more than just keep the backlight on so it may be overkill, but it's one of my favorite apps on my phone, and it is possible to set it up so that whenever it is plugged in the backlight is set to always on.
extended controls + tasker
Extended controls has a toggle for screen always on
Tasker will allow you to set when plug in to toggle
Thanks for the responses, folks. I was able to set it to "Never Sleep" through Power Widget lite. I'll try some of your guys' suggestions as well.

Watch for screen burn in as that is why it is not an option.

However, the Motorola Android phones I have had in the past have never had this problem; when they sit in the car dock, the screen is always on as part of the car dock mode.
Yea but AMOLED screens are different, hence my warning earlier in the thread. Not all phones are created equal.
Yea, I'd be careful. When I went into the verizon store to get my S3, on display next to it was a Galaxy Nexus which has screen burn in.
Tasker or Screen On (yep) will do it

Yeah, I see what you guys are saying; However, my Razr Maxx (also Super AMOLED) did not experience any screen burn-in despite have seen many hours of service with the display always on in the car dock.

I've been fortunate enough to not be able to see any on solid colors with an LCD tester so far too... But man, some people act like the possible screen burn issue is how the devil gets in, thats the only reason I wanted to point it out. YMMV and enjoy your ride.
I just wouldn't do this if I were you. Doesn't seem worth a $300 replacement to me.

I think one of the big factors is how long it actually stays on. If it's only on for an hour or two I don't think it'd be that big of a deal, but if you decide to go on a long road trip I would advice having your kids/friends/wife/girlfriend/passenger(s) play with it for a few minutes here and there.

Yeah, mine hardly ever stays on the same screen anyway while it's in the dock...I'm usually switching screens every 5 minutes or so...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't it also have something to do with the screen being OLED? Isn't that a relatively new technology and not long term tested?
Not even just staying on the same screen but the life of the screen in general..
Idk a whole lot about it other than what I read.
I definitely wouldn't leave it on too long, I'd hate to see a GS3 with persistence or even worse, burn in!
