AMOLED screen burn-in

I'm using Waze app every single day for about 1.5 hour.
in the past when i had galaxy S4, after 2 month of daily use, i noticed on white pages i still see all the static banners and buttons of waze.
baisically, using Waze in daily basis, burn-in my screen in the static area of the app like the up and down banners, speed meter etc...
Can it happen also in my new galaxy s8+? what to you think? did the amoled technology haven't changed a lot in the past 4 or 5 years?

There is a new feature in Waze called battery saver, it dims the screen when you are over a certain speed and a certain distance from the next instruction, that might help with it.
Though to be honest I use it for about the same amount of time everyday and don't even think about any burn in, its definitely not something that I've noticed happening on my phone so far

So far.... the phone is pretty new so we can tell right now. hope it will never happen but my S4 experience keeps me worried about this phenomenon.

I looked in Waze setting and could not find this option. Where is this option?

i can't find this option in waze.... which app version installed on your phone? which country?

I had that problem with my s7 edge. I got it changed on warranty. I'm too scared to use waze on my s8+.

How much time did you use your s7 before the burn-in happen?
How much time you used waze each day?

Today i received an update to waze from play store and the function was added :good:

Definitely can still happen on the s8+. I'd recommend not having your screen excessively bright while static images are on screen if you can help it. It's a pain but this is just an unfortunate trade-off with these beautiful screens.

It's not a trade-off. It can happen with virtually ANY type of display. LCD, LED, OLED, etc. No mobile phone display is immune.

I'm sorry if you dont like it but its the truth. I absolutely love the Samsung phones so I'm not against the phone. I've had the Note, S3, S4, S5, S6E, S7E and now the S8+.
I'm the first person to correct somebody wrongly bashing these phones but in this case it is what it is mate. Its well documented and accepted as fact that screen burn in on Amoled is more prevalent than some other display technologies. You need to be a little bit more mindful with Amoled if you want to keep the screen looking nice with heavy use.

Based on your first response you obviously didn't grasp mine at all whatsoever. I wasn't comparing Amoled directly to any other screen technology but the fact remains that the prevelance of screen burn in is generally higher than other screen types in general. That's not just conjecture on my part.
Its accepted fact. Also I'd appreciate it if you dropped the childish, rude and flippant attitude towards me. I was simply responding to your straw man argument.

There was one week where I used it excessively. And I kept the screen full bright. When I saw the screen burn in with the arrow of waze navigation. I started looking up on the Internet to solve the burn in issue somehow. That's when I found out that it's a common issue on amoled screens apparently. And the only way to solve it was to send it back to Samsung for a repair or replacement.

Yeah unfortunately its one of those things that you just have to be mindful of, even when you're not on full brightness.
I was pretty lucky with most of my galaxy phones especially considering how heavily I used them, although my S7E was an exception.
I still have the phone and after just 13 months you can clearly see discoloration on the screen and admittedly very feint burn in on UI elements ie. the status bar. The screen discoloration is pretty bad and perfectly matches the YouTube app, where the video is playing up top and the static white comment section below put uneven "wear" on my screen. I'm now trying to make a habit to watch longer YouTube videos in fullscreen to avoid a similar result.

So they replaced it for you? If it is so common on amoled display, they still replace or repair burned in screens?

Yes they did. I rang samsung and told them about the issue. They got the phone picked up from my house. I was expecting them to probably just replace the screen but to my shock they sent me a brand new sealed s7 edge.

Amoled is notorious for burn-ins. I would avoid using any app for prolonged periods of time.

I work for a carrier and never in my 14 years have I seen a LCD screen burn in I have however seen multiple AMOLED panels with burn in especially demo phones (yes on all day rolling content but so are the LCD models) this is a risk with organic displays to his point is true it is a trade off whichever way you sugercoat it

Any build issues?

Some people already have their devices so I wanted to know about the build quality and any problems with it.
I'm interested in the screen quality, especially any issues like the red/pink tint that affected many HTC 10 panels last year. Hopefully HTC has improved in this area.
Another issue with the HTC 10 (at least the units I tried) was a very loud vibration motor which made haptic feedback pretty annoying in quiet places (library, office, etc.), is this happening with the new phone?

I've no issues and very happy so far (day 3).
Quality is superb just like my HTC 10.
The screen has no noticeable tints and the quality is great. The screen is brighter than the HTC 10 and photos and video are fantastic when viewed on it. Viewing outside is better than the HTC 10, and the screen can be viewed in portrait with polarised sunglasses (unlike many phones and the HTC 10.
The haptic feedback on my HTC 10 is a little too strong for sure, but this U11 is less obtrusive and I think about right.
All in all, it's a good upgrade from the HTC 10, has great build quality, and I think it's great - very happy.

PhoneArena review mentioned a build issue, but it might only affect pre-production devices:
"On the two U11 handsets we examined during this review, each had one edge where the phone's back glass met the metal frame and there was a pronounced sharpness to the transition – while the other side was perfectly smooth. But with each phone we looked at, this sharp edge was on a different side – just not very consistent. "

Please tell us there won't be any of the dreaded yellow tinted screens?! It took me 3 HTC 10's to finally get a good one.

my one is same as M10 last year
red tint screen since the auto brightness is below around 60%

Thanks for the input guys, I just ordered my U1 1 and will comment on the build quality when I get it.
Very few reviews and owners seem to be mentioning tint issues so apparently this is not as much of a problem as last year.

I think it has some build issues (gaps between the frame and the glass) more than a tint issue.

That's good but I was asking for people that may have build issues. Mine is on its way back to HTC.

Every phone I've had (all HTC) have all had loud vibrators come the 12 month mark.
What I do find bothersome though is when starting up the camera it skips and shudders so bad it's unusable. I'm on my 2nd device (first one literally all of a sudden had an entire screen length crack under the glass) and both have had the same issue. Really hoping HTC fixes soon.

Mine is the 6 GB RAM version and I've issues with the screen. Near the bottom border there's an abnormal pixel (it changes according to the color but is bigger than the rest) and there're some shadows at bottom border from left to right, similar to light bleeding issue. Thankfully both defects are at bottom and they're no so visible but it still bothers me. I can return the device to Hong Kong in order to receive a new one but what happen if defective pixel is at the center of the screen? It can be worst.

Is the light bleeding something like this https://youtu.be/fGfTgu-8En0?t=282 or this http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wioSerCCQcfQ5Vg3PnmHVL-650-80.jpg?

I have updated from the 10 and my only build concern is the power button feels a little loose......
Well worth the upgrade.....

It's like the video. Take a look at the left bottom part of the phone. There are some shadows, the light is not uniform. Look at this carefully as the problem appears only few seconds.
Anyway the store acceded to give me a 10% discount for the flaw as sending back from Chile to Hong Kong is a PITA.
Apart of screen issues the phone totally worth the upgrade in comparison with HTC 10. It's better than S8+ too. I returned an S8 because it was restarting randomly. I should say that S8 screen, at least my unit had a pinkish tone at bottom and superior border and also at both edges. It wasn't a zero flaws screen too.

A power button that moves a little. I don't know....doesn't bother me, that's all. Not many power buttons are completely sturdy, unless they don't protrude as much.

Every U11 I've seen in reviews (and my own) has this problem, a white background is never uniform at the bottom of the screen, so it was wise not to ask for a replacement and accept the discount lol

Yes, apparently most if not all HTC U11 have this "light bleeding" issue. Anyway, I take the 10% discount due to the defective pixel I've and that the upper speaker is not as clear as HTC 10. It sounds good but it has a little background noise during calls (Skype, WhatsApp and normal calls). Even with those issue it's an excellent phone and the best from HTC so far. It's superior to S8+ in my opinion and I owned both devices.
For the screen issues please look at the pictures I'm attaching.

Quality Control issues with the screen - Be warned

I ordered the G7 from T-Mobile pretty much as soon as I could. I received it 2 days later. From the second I turned on the screen, I could clearly see a huge spot of LCD bleed to the right of the charging port. It was only really visible on white/off-white backgrounds, but it was plain as day and unacceptable for a $750 device.
I called T-Mobile within a day to try and swap it out. Long story short, it would involve sending it back, waiting for them to confirm, then sending me a replacement. I didn't want to deal with any of that, so I just returned it. Fun fact: The original tech on the phone wanted me to run a diagnostic and reboot the phone to troubleshoot (LOL!).
Anyway, I went to a local T-Mobile store and found another display model with the EXACT SAME LIGHT BLEED ISSUE and in the same spot. I pointed it out to the rep and he was surprised. So, what I originally thought was bad luck may, in fact, be a more widespread issue. That, or I just happened to find the only two LG G7 devices with this particular issue.
We all know that LCD panels have light bleed issues of varying amounts (the one notable exception being iPhones). But this was still disappointing, especially on new screen tech from LG. I just want people to be informed before buying. I loved the phone otherwise, although the taller, thinner form factor was a little odd. I prefer the V30's form factor.
Attached are photos of my unit. You can clearly see the blinding white spot shining up like a spotlight from the bottom. If you're buying this phone, good luck. I did see a Pink unit at T-Mobile without this issue. Both units that had it were Silver, for what it's worth.

yea, my wife had this issue in the same spot on her red edition. i easily found others online with the same issue in the same spot.
LG has quality control issues. the screen on the v30 was so bad that i ended up returning it.
my g7 has no such issues and i have been pleasantly surprised with my experience on it thus far.
if you can get a good, unaffected model you will probably be happy with it.

Unfortunate that many people are experiencing this. My 2 phones that arrived seem flawless to me so far.

What do you guys think?

There's already a post on this

You definitely have it in the same spot, though to a lesser degree than I had. It's your call, but I think that's unacceptable given the price. Since it only really rears its ugly head on white backgrounds, some people may find they can live with it.

please remove

Lol. Man I didn't even notice that issue. But I can see the same bleeding in the exact same area. I'm on JOD so I might just keep it since I'll jump to the note 9 in 3 or 4 months.

I ordered two via the BOGO sale, both Rose color and the screens are flawless

Major backlight bleed through the LCD screen right out of the box. Apparently its a common issue. Went back to Sprint to swap it only to find that the would have been replacement had the same issue. Opened up two more new G7s with the manager only to find the same problem. LG fell through on this one. Id suggest looking elsewhere as of now. Unless you dont mind the visual nuisance

I picked up a Verizon G7 from Best Buy 2 days ago and I have no screen issues. My is performing just fine with no light bleed.

Got mine in store from Tmo. Have had no issues with mine so far. Try not to read too much into this. Samsung has had screen issues with about every model they've released since the S6.

Verizon edition here and it's perfect. We've sold probably 50 out of my Verizon store also and not a single issue

How do we test our screen for bleed?
I used this test page http://www.lightbleedtest.com/ at 100% brightness in a pitch black bathroom. Is this the proper way?

Flawless here also, T Mobile version.

In the case of the G7, a white background seems to bring the bleed out the most. Open a white image or the settings menu and check the bottom edge. It appears to occur in the same place on all G7 units that have it.

US 710ULM and no issues with the display, color or bleed. Purchased Black from Bestbuy.
its one of the nicest LCD displays ive seen. Brightness and colors are fantastic.

No bleed here either.

Got mine from B&H yesterday. No light bleed at all.

Image Retention - burn in issue

Is there anyone doesn’t face this problem? does screen replacement fix it permanently?...anyone knows how to fix it please tell us.
to check your screen : https://marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html

It's the problem with those lg manufactured lcd panels, just like how it used to be on the Moto g4plus... So even if it gets fixed by a replacement panel, it's only a matter of time until it comes back unless they change the panel model itself, which i think won't be done.

It has, but it's only a matter of time before it comes back, from what I've heard. So i didn't bother changing it. When the burn in gets too much, i just use a lcd burn wipe app with red noise for 1 or 2 minutes and it'll be gone. The problem is obviously with the red pixels coz the burn in appears red in colour.

Will have a bad impact? Only this time i found screen retention on my devicelmao

The crappy LG panel problem affects many Nokia 8 phones and it is becoming more common every day. Mine has this problem for about six months.
Using an app is a temporary solution and can help for 1-2 days but the problem returns.
You can send it for repairs but in 3rd world countries like Greece it will get about one month to get the screen replaced. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Does anyone remember the LG Nexus 5X motherboard problem that affected every single phone?... Same ****ty situation.

I've seen this issue with my Nokia 8, I've had image retention after chatting with someone for a while on WhatsApp their name and the Google logo from the keyboard remained for sometime afterwards. I've not had it stay permanently, but is noticeable if you go into an app that has a black background.

I suppose it'll just grow until a point... Nothing drastic... Except for the annoyance of the retended image on screens with grey background...

Just to specify that it's not a software problem. The issue is there on Nougat and Oreo for me. It's clearly the poor screen quality. .

I used to have this problem and it did annoy me a lot. But here is a simple fix :
Use cf.Lumen and add a profile with parameters like the photos attached
3 months now and has not seen that stupid red hue on the screen
*device has to be rooted

Guys help on retweeting so that hopefully Nokia will be aware of this issue and compensate for it. This is a hardware issue, no software magic can fix this.

And did you ever replace your display? I'm asking coz i just replaced my display because it broke due to the damn charger falling on the screen (so much for Gorilla glass). I remember i saw lgd dual dsi display or something on the "display" section of aida64, but after the replacement from Nokia's authorised service centre, it's not shown any longer (the lgd dual dsi something...). So i wish to know if it's authentic...

Ok thanks

Display question/discussion

Have a Note 9 which I'm keeping, just got the Ultra and the display is a disappointment.
Side by side with the 9, colors are not as vibrant, contrast is so-so, sharpness is off. Fine details, icon edges, etc. are fuzzy.
Now, I'm anal about this kinda stuff. If I never saw the 9's screen, I'd never know and think it's fine, and to most, it would be. But this is me you're talkin' to. ?
I don't know whether to return it or pray for a Samsung fix. I'm not a gambling man. I've gone through every display setting and resolution there is, including dev options. I'm pretty experienced.
Maybe it's Nova launcher, but it's just not as nice as the 9's screen. Exact same home screen, icon theme, everything identical.
Your thoughts/opinions/gut feelings? Got till next week to return to Best Buy.
Thanks a lot,
Rich

You're 100% right, my N20U has a yellowish dirty white look to it when compared to my N10+
I doubt Samsung sees this as a defect until all of us report it as a defect so they can fix it with a software update.
Using vivid mode with green slider turned to lower setting helps but that's about it...

I posted in another thread that I got an app - Screen Balance - from the play store. With that I was able to get rid of more green as it has several adjustments for white balance. Use various adjustments judiciously. I like things cool. Seems *all* amoleds look green to me anyway.
Lest anyone thinks I'm spamming the app, since I mentioned it in another thread, I am not. Just a much happier user. ?
Doesn't solve the aforementioned problems though.

My gripe is temporary image retention. Using dark mode and gray screens, sometimes, the outline of the keyboard will remain on the screen for 5-10 seconds. I notice that if one uses the phone in light mode, it seems perfect, but once in dark mode, it has some minor flaws.

It's funny to see so many of these posts popping up. I made a post about this before as well that the screen has an overall yellowish greenish overtone to it. In fact, mine got worse. Now I have screen burn in. It's crazy since I don't have my phone at high brightness. It's somewhere in the middle. This is the first time I have to have a screen replaced. I miss my note 9 so much. If the note 9 had an ultra wide camera, I would so have kept it. This is likely the most problematic note I've owned. I had 3 note ultra in the past and they are all the same in terms of display. There's no escaping it. If you call the Samsung costumer service, they aren't allowed to admit issues with the device that Samsung hasn't cleared for them to admit, so they'll deny any screen issues at this time. I was going to trade this in for the Oneplus 8 pro, but they aren't taking Note 20 ultras as a trade in device, so may still sell or try to hold on till S21 ultra and pray by then Samsung corrects this new line of Amoled screens.

This is the screen burn in that I have unfortunately. Going to get the screen replaced, hopefully this weekend.

Burn-in does not show in screenshots, It will only be visible on your device as it is the physical screen with the damage

Then it's a mystery what that anomaly is. I am not the only one as a member in another forum posted similar. Image retention maybe? I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not going away and the Samsung phone techs agree I need to change the screen. Hopefully the new one doesn't do this.

Oh geezzzz...that:s not encouraging.. looks like I'm holding on hoping for a soft/firmware update. A replacement would probly have the same or worse issue. No burn in here so far.
Definitely keeping my note 9!

Your screenshot looks clear to me on my PC, so if you are seeing burn-in then it will be on your screen and will need a replacement, what I was saying is you cannot send someone a SS to show them the burn-in, they would need to look at your screen with their eyes

Hahaha lol I just realized the error of my ways :laugh:
I've never had such screen anomalies before. Still can't understand how it got there since I don't keep my phone at max brightness. Guess I got unlucky this time around.

Same image on the screen for extended periods can cause it too, so if you're always in WhatsApp chat or Facebook app and the same thing is always on the screen you'll be more likely to see it then too

Yeah i used to worry a lot about this as i know there are batches of screens that have this problem. Initially i thought the green yellow tint problem was also in some batches esp when Display mate gave this screen such high rating, which means they are all who have sold their souls for money and not honest, so thought mine was a bad batch but it seems everyone has this tint issue. Its sad that you have burn in but its more common than you think. Many people got it with the Samsung View case too.

Yeah, pretty unfortunate. I did see the issues with the Samsung cases causing the burn in as well. What's funny is that if you speak to a supervisor at the Samsung customer service number and tell them about the screen issues and you have someone else with a Samsung phone call them back hours or a day later and get the same supervisor, they'll tell you that they never had one complaint about the screen. Unless Samsung instructs them it's an issue they can fix, they will not admit it. Still hoping Samsung can correct the yellowish greenish overtone of the general display.
