Hello MIUIers,
Ghost image or screen/image burn-in are names given to a permanent discoloration of your smartphone’s screen caused by irregular pixel usage. The prolonged use of static images can create a permanent shadow or ghost of that image on the screen. This problem is more common than you think, and happens most often on AMOLED screens (although LCD displays aren’t completely free of this bug). Fortunately, there is a solution to restore the image quality of your device.
The screen ghost happens when phosphor compounds that emit light to produce images lose their intensity with prolonged use. Moreover, the irregular use can "burn" an image onto the screen which will be visible all the time. Many apps which are available in the Play Store promise to reduce or even stop the problem. One is the Screen Burn-in Tool.
The concept is simple: a sequence of primary colors is displayed on your device, restoring the "burnt" pixels. In fact, this was the original function of computer screen-savers: one dynamic image that appears when the screen is idle to makes the pixels "exercise" and ensure that the same area of display doesn’t remain constantly illuminated.

Do it at your own risk!
Today I will teach you how to remove the famous burn.
White 80%
Blue 80%:
Green 90%:
Red 100%:
I can not guarantee it will work on other models, my cell phone had very strong shadows on the screen, I realize that almost everything has disappeared ... I'm still running the program, I'll keep you informed on this subject!
Yes, it works, although some report that this does not happen, but their effectiveness depends a lot on the severity of the recording.
If you have shadows from a keyboard or square or both you can remove everything or almost everything, I have the program running for a week at night, I restart the cell phone in the morning and normal use.
Download the Liquid Burn-in Wiper application and use one or four weeks at maximum brightness.
Restart the device once a day, you will have with some luck recovered 80% to 99% of the screen with shade or burn.
Mine at the moment recovered 80%.
Soon I will update the topic with new photos, please wait.

If you even repair the ones that say it is for OLED screen they use the basic color system (rgb) ... then any application that changes the default colors should work normal.
Yes, my friend, I do not know why they said no.
do the test yourself, let it run for a week and you will see the difference.
As soon as I finish the tests I will post new photos.
Doesnt it just burn the rest screen out to even it out?

The rest screen is toprevent it from appearing.
You can use it, but it will take much longer, since we do not have a refresh of colors quickly and evenly.
If you want to contribute to the community, you can do some tests. :good:

I think what he meant was:
Does it work by burning the not-already burnt out parts to make it appear less burnt out?
I have Galaxy S5 that has pretty noticeable burn-in. When I view completely white image I can see bright white bars at the top and bottom of the screen, top bar even has few icons visible such as warning triangle at the left, i (info) and home at the right so apparently previous owner was using a lot of some kind of web browser at high brightness levels. Center of the screen is slightly dimmer and yellowish so I assume pixels have been burnt more there.
Now I have read about this AMOLED problem and as far as I know you indeed need to burn better pixels causing the ghost image to same level with the rest of the pixels to make ghost image disappear. I planned to try treating the lower ghost bar first and I already created black image same shape as the screen (but a little larger) having white bar at the bottom. I can view this image on my phone, zoom in and align the white bar to match the white bar of the ghost image while the rest of the screen is black. Then turn brightness all the way up and hope that pixels at the bottom of the screen wear out enough and ghost bar disappears. But I guess it'll take very long time. I'll try few hours per day for a week and see if it makes any difference compared to top ghost bar.
It's very difficult to align the image so that it's pixel perfect so there might be a chance that line or two of the brighter screen portion is covered by black area of the image. But I suppose having slightly brighter 1-2 pixel wide line across the screen is better than noticeably brighter large section of the screen.
I have been keeping the better pixels on at full brightness for total of 24 hours now and I can't see any difference. To me it seems that fixing amoled burn-in isn't a quick process but needs tens or hundreds of hours of screen burning to wear better pixels down to same level so that ghost image disappears. And that's pretty logical as burn-in itself doesn't occur overnight but during months of phone usage. Maybe I'll leave it as it is, my eyes have gotten somewhat used to it anyway. Not worth the trouble.

I've noticed that on the very left hand side on the edge of the Captivate that there's a column of green pixels going down the whole screen. It looks to be about 1 pixel wide. For me it's most noticeable when you pull down the drop down menu.
I don't know if it's normal or what. I exchanged it at my AT&T store and got a new one, and the new phone also had that column of green pixels on the left hand side.
Any one else notice or have this problem? Is it normal?
I do not have this on mine...sounds like a good reason to take it back and get a replacement..
I took it back yesterday and got a replacement, but it still had that green line. While I was there I looked at all the other display models and every single one also had that problem.
Anyone else? Or is it just that certain AT&T store lol
I can only reproduce this effect with the drop down notification menu and nothing else. Try pulling the menu down on a black screen or by looking at the area where the notification bar and menu meet and you'll see that only the drop down is affected.
its norm, if you browse a completely white page in explorer you'll see it there too. If anyone is worried about it, its deff not noticeable and i have severe ocd issues.
This is normal of any Pentile display such as the one found on the Samsung Captivate. It is not an issue.

Hahaha. +1!
But yeah, that's just how the led's are aligned in the display. Completely normal.
Here's some more information for those curious about Pentile Matrix's. This infomation predates the actual manufature of Pentile matrix's, and explains why it is used over a traditional grid matrix. Enjoy!
"This is a color subpixel-rendering system that promises to improve LCD resolution significantly, while reducing data driver requirements. The PenTile Matrix by ClairVoyante (Sebastopol, CA) doubles the addressable resolution in each axis and the modulation transfer function.
An LCD differs little in basic concept from a stained-glass window, modulating the light that shines through it to create a color image for the viewer. The need to generate a moving image, however, requires that the image elements be as small as possible, yet arrayed to blend subpixels in close proximity to properly represent colors.
In the PenTile Matrix, each color is surrounded by the other two colors, using a pattern of alternating red and green pixels to carry the logical pixel information. The blue pixels provide only low-resolution chroma information, matching human vision characteristics, while significantly reducing the number of data drivers. The light intensity is regulated by white subpixels (a recent innovation being explored by other display configurations and technologies as well).
Conventional color LCDs use three subpixels--red, green, and blue--in vertical stripes. A principal disadvantage of the arrangement is that it relies on the blue pixel to carry high-resolution luminance information--a difficult task because of limitations in human vision.
Subpixel font rendering on the RGB stripe is limited to increasing the addressability by a factor of 2, while the PenTile Matrix can double that number in both the horizontal and vertical axes for a fourfold improvement. Another advantage is that the arrangement is nearly rotationally symmetrical, allowing the display to be rotated more easily for portable devices and other displays that may be viewed from different orientations based on the information displayed.
There are currently no displays using this matrix available, but Samsung is working on some prototypes for possible release in 2005/6."
And now for the Wikipedia link to additional more recent information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile
And another link: http://www.displayblog.com/2009/04/16/samsung-oled-pentile-matrix-why-is-the-red-sub-pixel-so-big/
I've tried looking for this and really dont see it. I see what may look like one line of green pixels all the way on the left as you slide down the notification area. But I basically have to tilt the phone and look inside that area.
I see it. Its pretty damn small though lol.
The green line is only noticeable against brighter background when the green subpixel is being used to trick the eye into seeing white, etc. For example, my background is mostly darker colors, but where an area of white touches the edge of the screen, the green line appears; but only next to the brighter colors, not the darker ones. Kind of weird now that I look at it lol
This makes me feel a lot better that the screen is that way. I just wasn't sure if it was normal or not.
Thanks for clarifying!

Funny, since reading this thread last night, I do now notice that one really thin green line running down the leftmost edge of the screen on certain occasions. Its got to be caused by the pentile matrix arrangement of pixels. That first entire left row is all green, thats whats doing it. Especially when you're on a black background like when you slide the notification area down.
Do you use ambient mode on your GS2 watch?
AFAIK always on mode can cause unrecoverable damage to AMOLED pixels

That's why you don't use yourself as a source lol. Unlike the Note 4 and other Amoled devices, the Gear S2 is designed to slightly shift/redraw the pixels every minute when using ambient mode. This prevents the burn-in you mention.

This isn't an issue with the S2.
If you notice while your watch is in ambient mode, the watch face isn't always centered. It moves around slightly every minute or so. You'll really notice this on watchfaces that have intricate ambient modes. Samsung does this to make sure it doesn't "burn in". I see it on the CWF Aquarius, and Pavilion by Liongate.
Rob
As others have said, burn in isn't an issue. I only use it when the watch face has a very minimal ambient mode. If it has too much going on, I turn it off since it is too hard on the battery.
Burn in still happen even with pixel shift, which is very common on plasma TV and oled, just it need a very long time before it become quite obvious, quite sure most of us will get a new watch before that.

I hope you`ve heard there are such things like third party watchfaces with their own, more complex ambient mode theme, not just stock stupid two hands.
I know, Samsung made simple, slightly shifting two hands, but even stock WF-s have ambient mode with constantly active pixels in the center.
See pics.

Pictures are static and wouldn't show pixel shifts so that doesn't mean much... More complex ambient mode face designs doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't shift either if that function is applied system-wide at the tizen OS level. You also mistakenly assumed that only the hands shift...in reality the entire watch face shifts. One way or another, a documented source is more reliable than speculation or comparing to totally different devices like the Note 4.

This is why it is recommended to "dither" all block areas of an ambient watch face. It creates a grid of alternating on/off pixels, so if the image moves one pixel in any direction, ALL pixels that were on will turn off.
Otherwise it CAN reduce the lifetime of the individual subpixel color elements of the display (if you use only blue, only those will have shortened lifespan).
Hey,
I noticed that when a light shining directly into the lens and the brightness is set to low in camera i got a weird glow, like if there was patches / scratches on the lens. But there isn't. Everything is fine on the surface.
now does anyone else face something like that? What could it be? Should I get a replacement?
Look at the examples below. I'd appreciate any suggestions, help or confirmation if someone is having the same issue.
I know it looks like lens flare. But 1cm to the right or left and its gone.
Heres the glowy pictures:

Please tell me what you think
This is not just a light. This is like laser light which every optical mouse equipped with and it has light reflector in there too so it is normal to have this effect in low light condition. Try to take pic of it in normal day light condition.

Yes I know I just had nothing else to demonstrate.
And as you can see even with the laser the effect is only in the upper left corner of the picture. It's like a patch
When not forcing the artifact with putting the light 8ns the top left corner its barely visible in any situation. But I know it's there and it's bugging me a lot.
Here's an example with a light (led) in my room.
First is upper left second is upper middle

Weird. Did you zoom in? what are your camera settings? is it auto mode or manual mode? Any adjustments? is it 8mpx pic (stock settings) or 23 or?
Here are my examples. Photo taken with 23pmx resolution at different angels. As you can see one photo is fine and second one has similar to what you are having. If you are taking photo of the light bulb that close you still get the effect of super nova lightning lol Also make sure your camera glass isn't full of your finger prints or dirty. Because if your camera lens receiving dirty lightning it might reflect that too

These were cropped pictures of a full image.
The first one Is taken like in the first exams here with the light source in the marked area, you see this rays.
The second one is taken like in the second example here with the light source in the middle. (any other position apart from top left looks fine.
Settings are 23mp superior mode brightness to low (so it's visible better ) it's actually always visible apart from 16:9 aspect ratio because it cuts some centimetres from the top and the bottom of the 4:3 image.
It's forced like that

These are just the sliders for brightness and colour as your can toggle over settings in stock camera.
Unlocked and rooted. Drm fix applied. So that's not the problem.
As I marked in the first picture the rays only appear in that area. It's not software related.
Would you try to place a light near that area I marked and see if you get something similar?

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.
Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.
Out of the box features:-
✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring
✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise
✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device
All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!
This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
Notification Access requirement:
Energy Ring does not read any Notification whatsoever, it merely relies on it to be alive. Be assured that the App does NOT access anything.

It's a great job, thank you very much, it works very well in S10 +
Working great here will post a picture after work.
Yea it's working good on my S10+. Is it possible to make it show when you receive a notification instead?
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this, I was really looking forward to this!
Only one suggestion, if we could adjust the left-right alignment of the circle around the camera, that would be perfect. Right now I looks good, and is very functional, but the left edge of my circle runs a little under the camera notch.
Also, is there a way to show this on the AOD?
4.5 out of 5, would donate/purchase app to support developer.
Does it drain battery like that other app that lights for notifications.

Well, it doesn't display when your screen is off, so I don't think it is going to have any MAJOR drain on it.
If any, it will be negligible. It only updates when the battery level changes.
It doesn't even show as an app when I check battery specs. I see my AOD using 1%.
OP, is there the ability to get this working with the AOD enable? I'd love to know the battery level with lockscreen/aod using the notch notification.
Also, please see if you can add the ability to reposition the notch led. The reason for that, I see that the notch ring is literally a millipixel off to the right, so the right side appears more full then the left side.
Didn't work for me initially. For some reason I had to uninstall, reboot my phone, then reinstall.
Works pretty good, but as others had stated before, it needs slight adjustment.
Another thing I would like to mention: the pixels are very noticeable, especially around the curves. Is there any way to make the ring have a better resolution?
Seems like the left side curve (toward the center of the screen) isn't as thick as the right (toward the outside edge) on my phone. Amusingly in screenshot it looks perfect so I wonder if the pixels it's trying to display in that spot don't actually exist, like it's offset slightly from the actual camera cutout?
Do we have to worry about burn in?
This is a really great app!!! Working well for me, thanks dev!!!
Should we worry about burn in?
If you leave the ring on your screen all the time, yes, you should worry about burn-in
Was excited for this, but had to get rid of it. With it running, you lose the ability to answer Yes/No when Chrome asks if the site you are on can access your location.
If the ring moves itself, i think the risk for burn-in the screen will be minimal.

So can we just stop to talk about the colour temps randomly changing? I've read one or two posts around the internet only one or two that I actually found. No one really knows if it's a bug or a feature, Samsung doesn't apparently even know themselves from what I've read in those posts. Can anyone shed some more light on this? Does anyone have any experience with this? Because what is Universal across the posts and my own experience is that we all have the eye comfort setting off and it happens with auto brightness on or off. People replying said to try using the advanced settings for the colours or the settings for the colours in the accessibility sub-menu. Problem is why does the screen randomly go from a clear white to a yellow tinted white in yhe first place, and how to fix it... Can't post photos since it's random, and well physically visual to the eye...

All variable refresh rate displays are extremely hard to color calibrate. It could be software, firmware, hardware or a combination.
Try running in safe mode at 60hz and go from there.
Clear system cache. Try a hard reboot.

It's not about calibration, it's literally the device changing the colour temps from clear white to white with a very very faint yellow tint. I'm past clearing cache and resetting since I've already flashed through odin numerous times. Safe mode doesn't change the behaviour.

My point being it's a very complex system. Return it for a cash refund if possible.

The period for returns is long gone unfortunately. Not to mention that I'm not leaning towards returning the device, I just want something that is clearly not hardware related to get fixed and someone to shed some more information on the subject of this bug or "feature"
Did it do on first boot up or when did you first notice it?
I've also noticed it, it changes to a yellowish white... I thought it just happened to me! It happens to me all the time and I don't know why 256/12 ram...
Maybe is this? I have it in cold colors and maybe it changes to yellowish

Not thanks, the screen becomes very yellow for my taste.

I have no idea when I first realised, at first I thought it's me so I ignored it but then I read somewhere about someone experiencing this, and that's when I started paying attention to it and looking for it and the more I did the more I saw it happen infront of my eyes even when going from one webpage to another... From an app to another and so on. It's possible it could be related to the vivid mode since I have it the same as the guy that just replied, the cool setting. And like he said without it it's just so yellow.
(Edit) from the other posts around the internet they realised it started happening after the AVC6 update. So who knows.
(Edit 2) here's the links to others

I've seen a 3rd party app, Google Reader screw up the user hidden display settings. Unistalling it did no good, had to reinstall it, and change the setting that cause it.
This however maybe purely a Samsung bug. Trying to fix it by a hodgepodge color setting mix or 3rd party color adjuster will not get it done although it may look less irritating. Color calibration for displays can not be done accurately by eye, it will be way off. The display also uses multiple color profiles and their calibration will go to hell as well. An unpredictable ripple effect will occur spanning all apps like vids, and images that depend on color calibration for accurate color/gamma reproduction. That's really messed up if so, a complete fubar.
If it's a Samsung bug, they need to fix this...
Oh so they are truly copying iPhones. Same thing happens with their current flagship
