I noticed this last night while using Reddit is Fun on dark mode... Kind of annoying but not the end of the world. I also hate that the screen doesn't get as dark as LCD screens do (aka iPhone). I hate being blinded by the lowest setting when I want to check a few quick things while in bed. The grey out apps are too annoying to be worth it.
That's why I wish the settings menus were white and apps were all developed using a lighter color (or the choice of a lighter color.)

Who's got it?
I have screen burn in and its pissing me off with no Nexus S i get is clean =(

thats not a burn in loool.
its just how the screen is . all amoled screens are like that. but in some screens they are not very noticable while others . you can see them more clearly on gray wallpaper on lowest brightness.
you will NEVER get away with them. just try to find one that isnt very obvious.

It's possible for the AMOLED to suffer from burn-in, when I had the stock notification bar on my nexus one, the time got burned into my screen. Pretty noticeable when using the browser in landscape on a white page
heres what i did to check "burn in " installed this app screen filter from market.
my brightness settings under phone settings set to 0% , switched off auto.
under screen filter i set my brightness to 19 %.
then, from the dialer *#0*# and did lcd test and found signs of burn in . before tht i did not see anything at all.
now if u follow the above guide you will definitely see signs of wear.
Just install the app called dead pixel detect, you will see the burn in if you have any.
When I start the android XDA developers application, I see the symbols of the notification bar on the brown (I am color blind so not sure if it is brown or green) start screen in the area where the notification bar is. I am not sure if the OLEDS are just slower in that area or if they are already burned in.
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

on the Nexus S
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?

Just realized this should've been in the Q&A section.. woops!

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?

Yeah, exactly how you described it. Looks yellowish/orange depending on the background

^-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.
"Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[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.

Hey guys, I bought my tf300t about a month ago & I noticed something that I hadn't really noticed with my cell phone. Every time I load solid colors, there are very faint darker colored lines going up the screen. They look kind of like when you record a home video & you record the TV. They look somewhat like this, though not as intense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sv7LkNE5II . They look more like waves rather than dark lines. I think its only on certain colors because it wont happen with red, or yellow. I noticed it when I was on the tumblr app & even on the google voice dark themed app. Is the screen supposed to be like that or is something wrong with the hardware? Thanks.

I just RMA'd my tablet only to find out it's banding because of a low quality image. Your tablet is fine :victory:

Thanks so much for answering. My questions never get answered. It seems like it only happens with the navy blue colors, so thanks for clearing that up!
