When you start the app, at the xda splach screen is the bronze / red colour the same across the whole screen or is it like a gradient getting lighter towards the top left?
Just wondering if my screen is duff but maybe I'll be better downloading a screen test app.

No, nothing wrong with your screen for that reason. Just loaded xda and it does change shades from top to bottom.
If you think there's issue with the screen, google search for a photographic color calibration image, that should give you a good image to check with.
Thanks. I thought that was the case as I haven't seen this problem in any other apps or when using the phone normally. Still a relief to hear though!
no clue, i have set mine to DARK theme to safe power.
but when i look at a BLANK WHITE page, the 2 bottom corners just above the 4 soft buttons have a weird purplish gradient, which did not exist in Galaxy S
but that is due the Concave screen design
Mines on dark also but I'm talking about the splash screen that shows on starting the app - whether light or dark theme selected.
No such purple tint here.
The xda splash screen gradient looks a little banded because of the pentile sub pixel layout of the amoled screen. Nothing really wrong with your screen, that's just the way it is with these screens. It's a trade off.
Don't think I'm seeing banding, it's just the fact the xda splash screen tends to lighten as it gets to the top left of the screen.
From what others have said this seems normal though so. I'm not concerned.
Ah got it, I mis read. Yeah I think that's normal.
This is slightly off topic but relevant to the xda app. When I first view a new thread using the app, it always jumps either to the last page or a random page. Or if the thread is only one page long, it starts halfway down the thread. Again this is for new threads I've never viewed before. Anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Yep seeing this too and never quite worked out the pattern / reason.
Don't worry about hijacking the thread, my question was answered long ago

i have a very nice and smooth dark brown to light brown gradient going from bottom right to top left
on the Galaxy S
the same gradient looks like chopped, chunky, banded, it's like looking at a picture in 16bit color (SGS) vs 32bit color (SNS)

That's interesting. I thought these used the same screen technology - samoled?

That's originally what I meant with my post cause I see the banding on my screen too. It should be identical since these screens are literally identical I believe.
that's what i would like to know as well.. i was left when i did the comparison
Hey everyone, I bought my HTC One S used, and at a discounted price because of screen burn-in. The burn-in isn't noticeable at higher brightness settings, but when there is a dark background applied, or when the backlight is dim, you can clearly see burned in areas.
Has anyone had any success using any burn-in removal techniques with apps like Display Tester?

What exactly is screen burn-in? Is it the same as the screen has different color depending on what angle you are looking at it? My experience is when i look directly on my screen, it show some yellowish in white background, but when i tilt it forward or backward, the white becomes white with no yellowish color. And when i turn it sideways it become pinkish.. do you think my screen is busted? Or is it what you call the screen burn-in?

^-That's a good example of what a screen burn (or is it image retention?) looks like. Found this image on Google just for the purpose of an example, it's clearly not from an HTC One S haha
My friend who uses the HTC Sense clock has developed minor screen burn from having the clock widget in the same place since day one of his phone

TC is probably referring to ghosting. Kinda like
http://www.pixeltuneup.com/images/screenburn.jpg
or to a lessor extend but more common
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/5523/2005fpwsw2.jpg
Notice the faint icons? As to fixing it, I don't believe there is a way other than replacing the screen. It happens when an image is displayed without movement. It sort of "burns" into the screen, and when viewing something else, its slightly visible, thus "ghosting"
As for the yellow tint you see in the whole screen, I believe some displays are just like that.

Thank you for the explanation.. but i don't have that ghosting nor the faint icons.. i only experience the different colors when viewing in different angles, i just hate it, nothing else, but why is that?

tbh i wonder what would happen if you attempted to burn in the color inverted (dont do it, lol)
But most likely a new screen, which isn't too expensive.
If you had a big enough discount, it'd be no problem.
I found this one one x+ general forum. Credits to roobeyn.

[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e=search_result&rdid=com.netmanslab.sa&rdot=1
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen!"
Works perfectly! Thanks again to roobeyn
Wow!
People are often choosing blue screen as being more white than real white color is. Please read why choosing white other then 6500k is making your eye not seeing many colours.

Screen in one s is really very good calibrated as in every HTC phone past HTC Desire with amoled (which was first HTC calibrated screen with ota update and that update made reddish screen looks better).
Of course as every amoled it is very oversaturated, but it looks good on phone screen.
Anyway your advise for people which likes blue screen: adding blue to everything makes black not true black. This is looking bad, kills amoled contrast when normally black pixel are totally blank (because they are not lighting) and in that way will shorten battery life as normally on amoled black parts of the screen are not using any power.

Thanks for sharing the app. I don't use the color settings, I love the screen as it is, but the lower than usual brightness helps me at night..

What yellow tint, using that filter your screen is "colder", and like every filter you loose processing power and some colour. You are free to use it, but when you bought the phone, you checked the screen... Right?
Thanks for sharing I didn't notice the tint till I got the nexus 7, the one s screen is yellow compared to it, that edit with your settings fixed that, thanks.

I rotated my device today, whilst having a completely white screen. The top of the screen (now side) immediately caught my eye, it seems like the statusbar has burned into the screen!

Have you flashed some custom ROM? This more looks like a bug to me..
It is hardly noticeable, but I got the same issue... Not a big deal for me.

I've recently noticed my phone has burn-in of what appears to be the blue bar of the Facebook app. Not sure how that happened, it's not like I have Facebook open for that long. Download this app and you can check out the burn-in on your screen. Mine also has it for the status bar and the clock, 4G, and signal bars. You can run the program for awhile and it supposedly helps or fixes burn-in. I haven't tried it yet though.

Yes, mine also has a slight reduction in pixel brightness across the status bar area at the top. Sadly, this is a common issue with AMOLED and the same thing happened on my old Galaxy S. It's not really noticeable on day-to-day usage.
So after using the phone for a week, I can see a faint line in the top of the screen which I find quite weird since I haven't used the phone at max brightness nor had any static images for long periods of time. I'd just like to know if this is something other people have experienced with their devices? There's also a slight green hue with white screen which is absent at the bottom of the screen. I only noticed it because of a black wallpaper that showed that there's actually a constant notification bar in the launcher screen.

Ok so you assume that this definitely is a defect? Too bad.. it's really really faint, but since I've seen it, it's always there. The home button from AOD is the most notable, varying by the brightness.

Is it burn in or ghosting?
If you are unsure about if your display is burning in or showing ghosting or both, use a full screen gallery app like QuickPic. Get a gray image and view it. With ghosting you will immediately see the navigation buttons but they will fade (scroll about to a few other images to help it fade), if they don't fade, well the display is probably burning in. You can easily download the checkerboard pattern with a google search.

Thanks for your reply, I also have a suspicion that it might be due to the fact that I used navbar to make the navigation bar entirely black, making the navigation bar "not to burn in" so to say. I disabled that and will see if this has any effect. I also disabled the home button on AOD. If it is burn in it is extremely light still, and only visible with gray backgrounds. I have a feeling that it might be fading away, or my eyes are just starting to give up fingers-crossed, the latter probably the better since I hate to be this nitpicky.. :silly:
Also I haven't read about anyone else suffering from this green tint/hue at the top of the screen. It's not so prominent when I lower the green values or when the screen is dimmer. It's this green stripe that sort of leaves this completely white gap between the bezel. Not very easy to explain but it is easy to distinguish with white backgrounds. It almost looks as if the panel isn't aligned properly and a line of pixels is "out of bounds". Weird if I'm really the only one with this symptom..

It's because that Samsung S8 and S8+, have problems with some wallpapers. I get a faint status bar on for examples some wallpapers, because of their aspect ratio. So if it's that, try out the inbuilt wallpapers as they don't get this problem. Don't get a flip, if it's not that you ment!
Try and take a screenshot. Just say Hi Bixby, take a screenshot.

I wish it was, though the green hue is noticable on completely white and grey backgrounds. I did notice what you mean though when I used a black wallpaper that had this weird bar at the top.
I get that too on some black wallpapers, but if i use a builtin black theme the strange oversaturated dark bar disappears.. and when I take screenshots the bar stays on the screenshot.. so it's not the screen having prob..

Yea, but I'm talking about whites now. With a solid white background the top has this green line, not with blacks.

if you zoom in on the left part you will notice a slight over saturated bar.. but on the original wallpaper there isn't.. it only comes out when I use wallpapers that are not built in on the theme.
Ok so now I stumbled across this thread on reddit https://www.google.fi/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/682xmo/my_screen_is_a_little_uneven/
I have a strong feeling I'm experiencing the same problem, though at the top there is this white line that goes through the green area just below the green line at the top. Don't know if this splotchiness is a completely different issue..
Update on my situation, I sent the phone to service center through my provider. We'll see if they see what I see. It feels so bad to be away from my Samsung.. I hope they treat it well. Will update once I get updated.
I'm quite surprised but today I got an update on my situation. They swapped the screen and battery so my concerns seem to have been justifiable. I'm sorry that I couldn't replicate or get a picture of my problem.
Now received the phone, new problem arose. The so called "light bleed" that many have been complaining about, but for me it's literally everywhere. It's in the receiver, in all corners and all sides. Damn, such a shame to be sending my phone to service all the time.. Guess I won't be touching any curved screens anymore.
Edit, And to all those who say the light bleed is normal, I didn't have it before the service so I am certain it is a defect or misalignment of the screen.
Got my phone back from the service today. They said that the light bleed is normal and should be expected with "edge" screens. Yet as a precaution they swapped the screen again. Now I have to deliberately look to find the same problem, so on that behalf problem solved. What they didn't manage to fix is the uneven greens. The screen is quite uneven from top to bottom. Darker at the bottom, lighter at top. Really don't want to send this fixed again so I'm pretty sure I just try to live with it and see if it really bothers me with my normal usage, videos etc. I do know that this issue is really common with amoleds (speaking from experience.)

Um... That's exactly why it happened. You need to understand what "burn in" is. It's not burning at all. Simply that amoled pixels lose brightness and color the more time they are used. That's all. So if you have a status bar as black, it will not be losing its brightness but the rest of your screen will. So basically you burned in your screen. Really the screen is always burning in, the key is to make it burn in uniformly. That's why leaving AOD on without it moving would burn the time in, because the lit pixels are decaying while the rest of the screen isnt
