My screen burn in - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have issuess whit my scrren , Icons burns in anyone havet same issues ?

Screen burn happens for me also but only if I have my tablet on "always awake" and I forget to lock it. It takes a good hour or 2 for the burn to set in though. I don't really find it an issue. I mean you shouldn't have the tablet on and idle long enough for something to burn into it.
Heres a pic of my screen burn from a widget http://imgur.com/LNu4Rwj

I play gta san andreas about 1 hour and saw the map icons bärnnas properly but disappears after allowing the plate to be a while. Is it a common fault ?

Not sure about anybody else, but my advice to you is to keep the screen brightness below 50%. Doesn't burn as fast.

Does this burn go away after an amount of time?

Light Bleed

I know it's probably been addressed before but I was hoping for some kind of explanation to the lightbleed? on my TF700T. I question it because I ONLY notice it at the initial boot screen - when the "2nd" bootscreen comes (when the display dims), no bleed - Also, no bleed when on a black screen, watching movies, etc - nothing. Is the initial boot screen just set at an amazingly high backlight that absolutely any tablet (at least any TF700s) would experience this? Perhaps there is an alternate bootscreen I could install and test? I am rooted...
thanks for the advice
PS - I HIGHLY doubt anyone would return theirs for this
Do you mean the two spots on the right side, or do you mean bleeding out from other places? I have light bleed sometimes on the right side but it goes away after a minute or so. Like it has to "warm up" or something.
no, not really - at the initial boot screen, I notice it on all sides but mostly lower left around the "home" icons-when it appears - after the initial boot, it's pretty much gone - I am thinking that the boot up for some reason is set to such a ridiculously high brightness that 0 bleed (if it is even that) is impossible. Can you post a pic of yours during initial boot or a video?
I get lightbleed occasionally but it fades out after a few minuetes.

I think its normal.. my original prime had the light bleeds near home buttons too. I happened to have one of those from best buys first batch the sent in plastic no bubble wrap mailers so it had a dent on the box on the same side the light bleed was the strongest. But so far of the two inifinitys ive opened up at Best Buy, light bleed was in the exact same places.
The teardown from the Prime showed that it is caused by the screws holding the screen in being too tight. If you take it apart you can fix the light bleed spots by adjusting these screws.

I have the same lightbleed on a bottom of my screen (at 3-4 spots) going to the right side as well (1-2 spot). They all gone on the 2nd boot screen. Do you think that this will decrease the life of the screen?
Also I have notice something else and I really not sure what is causing this. I have setup brightness to about 30%, then If I start watching anything (Netfilx, YouTube or movie) my screen is start adjusting (change brightness up and down) like Auto Brightness options is checked, especially when it has a white (or very bright) background color. It is very annoying and very distracting for you eyes. Never happen on my Prime.
Does anyone have experienced the same problem? Any idea how to fix this are very much appreciated.
Thanks

Regarding your second issue that is a known "feature" called Dynamic Contrast.
Quoting the All in one Infinity Guide stickied in the General Forum:
[ Q ] My screen constantly adjusts brightness even if auto-brightness is disabled
Yes,that is a "feature" called Dynamic Contrast but not all of us like it.Follow the directions from this post to disable but keep in mind that your device must be rooted.

Thanks for clarification. I thought that something is wrong with the tablet. It is look like that I have to take the root solution.

I have what sounds like the exact same lightbleed locations. If I watch something late at night with all the lights off it is very apparent.
I don't think it decreases the life of the screen, my TF Prime had much less lightbleed, but it never expanded or anything.

[Fix] BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH

What is black screen of death??
Plz google it.
For those who are facing this issue.
I was also facing the black screen of death issue from past 3 months.
The only way to avoid it was through rebooting the device.
And by searching web others recomended to replace the flex cable.
Solution:- guys now i am not facing this issue by keeping the brightness greater than 5/10 (>5)percent.
I have tested this persnally for 10 days and i have not faced black screen of death till then.
But when i reduce the brightness to 0% i start experiencing the black screen of death.
I dont know properly what incresing brightness does.
Permant fix can also be done by increasing the minimum brightness value. (I dont know that hiw to do). May be devs can help here.
Those who are facing black screen of death keep your minimum brightness at or above 10% that will fix it.
Will try.
What ROM?

I got the same problem with my nexus 5 too. After lowering down brightness to below half somewhere, the phone screen shuts off but the phone is still on and if i blindly drop down the status bar and increase the brightness by assuming the slider there, the screen again turns on
One thing to note that my screen does not have any dead pixels or display problem at all because I tested it. Also when the screen turns off the task that was carried out on the phone still stays i mean that when i play game at night and lower the brightness, then the screen turns off but i can hear the sound of the game running.
I have tried many roms but the problem still remains.

Try changing the rom which has this issue fixed at around 10℅ brightness.
Bcoz above 50 ℅ is. Huge for battery drain.
I am currently on santosh m 7.1.1 15/12/16 build and i am not experiencing black screen at 10℅ brightness.
Since you play at night ( night modde will also help ).

I have tried Santosh ROM it's still there, but the thing is that this problem I am having was even on the latest stock ROM (till android 6.0.1 Dec).
I don't know why it happens.

Won't "always on" damage the oled screen?

It's been a while since I had a phone with an oled screen, and I remember that after a few months of use the screen would burn in in specific areas where the same image was displayed continuously, e.g. the notification and navigation bars.
Now I'm worried that enabling "always on", which makes the clock and notifications show up in the screen all the time, will cause this problem.
Should I disable it? Are oled screens better now? Don't they do that anymore?
I would imagine that Google has installed some type of burn in protection where it moves the images slightly to avoid this.

That's what I thought at first, but they don't seem to move at all...
What I've read is that the info on the screen moves one pixel every minute to avoid burn-in.
Yeah, same as the flagships, it moves.
My Samsung S9 moves the time/date on the always-on screen by a wide, very noticeable amount (up, down, left right). Which is (I think) the right way to avoid burn-in.
As best I can tell the 3a does move the always-on time/date display. But it's not by much. This is really quite surprising because, yes, I think AOD will leave a blurry region right in the middle of the display which inevitably is going to be noticeable. To test this I placed a Post-It note on the screen, on the base-line, just under the day, month, temperature from the always-on display, then let the phone rest most of the day. It appears to me that the image is shifting, down, by a few pixels. After a few minutes the image shifts up, appearing to return to it's starting point. Without a reference-point (the Post_It Note) I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the image shifted at all.
If the display moves one pixel per minute, and the display has perhaps 400 pixels per inch, then it takes something like six and a half hours to move to the entire AOD to a new spot on the screen. Seems to me like that's laughably slow.

This aod has been implemented since the pixel 2, I believe. That device is coming up on being 2 years old. If this was an issue, I believe we would have heard someone complain about it by now. Maybe someone has, but I haven't heard it. I would say just enjoy your phone and don't worry so much. But I'm no engineer and have no expertise in the field.

I have a 2016 Pixel, and the "always on" isn't always on. Maybe that's a setting somewhere, but functions similar to the old Moto X phones. The screen comes on when you interact with it for a few seconds, and then shuts off. Does the screen always display the clock/notification icons? That's definitely something I'd only want to be on for a few seconds at a time.
You can set it up both ways.
You can have it turn on when you double tap or pick up the phone, or you can have it to be always on, in which case it only turns off when you block the ambient sensors (so when it goes into a pocket, you put it face down on a table, and so on), otherwise it stays on.
Personally I set it up to turn on when I pick it up or double tap, really don't have the need to have it always on anyway.

Broken screen working again on low battery

Hi guys,
Some while ago my oneplus 7pro felt from the stairs. The backside is complety broken, but the frontscreen was ok because of the screenprotector.
After a while i noticed 'a lot' of dead pixels on the lower left side of the screen. The phone was still usable so i didn't bother about it.
Suddenly during normal use, my screen started flickering and my screen went off. It seemed that the screen was devided in 2 where the notificationbar was on the same height of the broken screen pixels.
I could see some things, but with a green film. But not possible of unlocking the screen.
I tought that the screen was completly broken and i moved to a spare phone.
I still hoped that the screen would do some sort of a reset when I let the battery completely drain, charge a bit and try again.
I checked almost every day on what percentage. But when it was on 13% (or nearby that %) the screen was working again like nothing happened before. I tought it was working again and charged it.
Because it worked again on a low percentage, I tought it may be a lower refreshrate of some sort of stuff that is on during battery save mode.
I left it charging some small time, tried again and screen was broken again.
I tought it was a lucky shot, so i didn't bothered again about the phone.
Yesterday i checked my phone again out of curiosity, and guess what, it was working again.
So I'd like to know what might cause it to work again on low battery. I lowered the resolution and refresh rate already.
Anyone who got an idea?
Nothing short of taking the phone to a repair shop will restore your phone to normal.
It's just going to get worse, there's nothing you can do to stop the progression, short of a repair & even then, you're probably throwing good money after bad, considering the type of damage incurred.

Can't be sure, my guess is some voltage leakage on higher voltage and short the screen somehow. If you can try de assemble and re assemble the phone. Just my guesses.
I suppose the higher the voltage the phone is able to provide the screen the worse it's going to get. Send it to OnePlus. Don't get it done independently, they cost way more

Question about screen dimming

hey guys got question for u all
i like so much the flip 4 but i sell it cause i had 1 major proble

It is clear that your mobile phone has a technical problem that needs maintenance, but try to return it to factory settings

On the Flip 4 I use the Adaptive Brightness "on" setting, and Dark Mode. Your results may vary, but here's what I've seen.
In the summer, on a sunny day, I'll notice that the phone will automatically try to be as bright as possible, so the screen is readable. (I'm pretty sure when this happens the quick display panel's screen brightness slider color changes to orange. Maybe the color depends on the wallpaper/color palette.) And I never see the screen do this "extra bright" thing indoors. Only outside and only in direct sunshine.
So far so good. I think this is as everyone expects the phone to operate.
Given all this, sometimes I'll notice the screen brightness will vary, even though I'm still outside and still in the same brilliant sunshine. I've noticed this commonly when checking Google News, and for example, I'm reading a story and scrolling slowly through the article. In particular when the screen is mostly black text on a white background.
So, in this situation, that is, a largely bright background, in the bright sun, my phone will both:
Get warm to the touch, on the back-side of the phone, where the two batteries are, but not up where the cameras, CPU and memory are located. This makes sense because "scrolling text" isn't that demanding on the CPU, but I am driving the OLED screen hard.
Also the front of the phone (the OLED screen itself) can feel warm. Even in the screen's crease, away from the battery. Since the image is mostly white, all the OLED dots are "on" and give off heat. Then again, I'm in brilliant sunshine and almost any surface will get warm.
Further, I'll notice that the phone screen will automatically get dimmer after a bit of time (perhaps a minute or two of extra-bright before the dimming). This I attribute to the software doing one, or both of:
Dialing back the screen brightness, to prevent OLED burn-in.
Dialing down the power usage by the screen, to prolong battery life and/or limit the battery temperature.
What's more, after little more time, still in the same bright lighting conditions, perhaps reading the same story, the screen might be noticeably extra-bright again. It's as if the phone has given the display "a rest" and is willing to go "extra bright" again.
In short, I think the phone screen is trying hard to be brilliant in the brightest of sunshine. But there are limits in how hard you can drive an OLED screen, and how long the battery can power the screen.
All of this before we start to talk about what design limits come into effect when the CPU or graphics processing come into play, both or which compete for:
Power from the battery, and
The ability of the phone to keep itself cool.
This phone's form-factor is all about folding in half. A slab form-factor phone, I suspect, will be far more capable for heavy CPU, graphics, and provide a bigger battery and better heat disipation.
