Just got my Note Edge 2 days ago and when comparing the screen brightness (at max/no auto) it is much dimmer than our note 4. now I am not talking about the super bright setting that occurs when its on auto and outside but instead indoors. I also have been seeing a message in the display brightness settings "UNABLE TO INCREASE THE BRIGHTNESS FURTHER. THE DEVICE IS OVERHEATING" Could this be due to a faulty battery or something else? This is my only complaint with this phone but its a big one especially if i'm receiving this message. Should I return to Tmobile or is it most likely a software glitch. It is very cold where I am at so it has not been out in the sun or plugged in too long. minor use has led to this overheating message usually only seen in the summertime when in the car too long
why you need turn on full brightness? I only use brightness like 20% on that slider. it also save battery.

I typically enjoy and have always used max brightness and even if i didn't this issue probably shouldn't be happening. It's the fact that i think something is wrong with my new phone already. I want to make sure by asking questions
Yes something is wrong if you're not gaming intensely or something like that. It should never overheat just from full brightness I have the T-Mobile one and I use max brightness all day no problems.
Guys the samsung NoteEdge on lollipop has that issue. Basically you can't switch auto brightness fully off it will control your brightness even if uncheck the box. After weeks of searching and trying I found a kind of solution because I love to see my screen in all his power and brightness. Solution is call "screen filter" can be found in the play store for free. Set the brightness at 100% and switch it on. You'll see the difference.
I'm returning my t-mobile V10, and just wanted to put some various ramblings and personal opinions here for anyone who's considering this phone. If you already have the phone and you like it, carry on. It's a pretty good phone, all around.
I was coming from a note 3, so I really wanted to keep the 5.7" screen. When it's in immersive mode, it's great, but one thing I didn't account for is that because it has no hardware home/menu/back buttons, the navigation bar takes up some of the screen size. The screen quality seemed fine, and the auto brightness was really quite good. Other than showing pictures to someone, I never found myself needing to take it off auto and increase the brightness.
The second screen seems like a really good idea. Unfortunately, due to a couple of issues, I found myself turning my phone on/unlocking anyway and wishing it had a notification LED instead. The second screen seems to shut itself off after it's been in your pocket/the dark a few minutes, and doesn't turn back on until you push the power button. At least on my unit, there's a lot of light bleeding (not confined to the second screen rectangle) that was disturbing. It's great being able to see graphics on the second screen, which is about twice the size of the notification bar, meaning you can see contact pictures when someone texts you instead of just their name, etc. The brightness on the second screen is far too low, and it doesn't appear to be adjustable (though when the device is on, the brightness is linked to the main screen's brightness, and looks good). Straight on, it's readable but from any kind of angle, the brightness wasn't enough to keep it readable and provide at-a-glance look at the date/time and waiting notifications. I understand part of the idea is lower battery consumption, but again, I found myself turning my phone on and unlocking it rather than trying to make out what was on the second screen.
It seems to be plenty fast, I didn't try any high-end games on it but it appeared to have no problem with me using it while it auto-updated 5-6 apps at a time, which was a very pleasant surprise. The UI is great, but it's not really laid out like i'd prefer, but I didn't get the feeling that the UI was slowing me down. Overall, the UI is a lot better than I thought it would be.
Battery life was mediocre. I probably would have bought the zerolemon extended battery, but it was out of stock at the time. The fast charging was great, but I had a small amount of anxiety about where my next charge would be coming from.
The camera seemed to take great pictures, but i'm not a photographer nor do I pretend to be.
I didn't notice any changes in cell signal between my note 3 and the V10, but I was told the V10 had something significant to pickup the signal better. I didn't notice it in 2G or 4G/LTE, but didn't really encounter 3G. Having said that, it wasn't terrible, just not an improvement.
The speaker was nice and loud for both music and calls.
I didn't even attempt to deal with the bloatware, rooted immedaitely and I tried cm12 but the second screen didn't work (without a notification LED, the second screen working is a big deal for me), and settled on the deodex/debloated rom. Now that i'm returning it, being able to flash it back to stock and relock the bootloader is awesome.
I hope this was helpful to anyone looking at this device.
Why return such an awesome device?

Hi all, just looking for a suggestion as to what could be causing my issue.
long story short, got phone yesterday afternoon gmt, by time I got chance to play with it was around 9pm, anyway I took a quick video with 960fps, good results but bit grainy, probably due to sun beginning to set.
No problem, says it needs good lighting, I'll try it indoors later, so fast forward a couple hours and I got good lighting indoors, photos and video coming out nice and clear, but whenever I try slow mo I get an effect as if my light is on a strobe setting.
Not sure if it's faulty or just really crappy in artificial light, I suppose I can find out soon enough, but wondered what you guys thought
What kind of light do you have? Certain lights such as flourescent actually "blink" 50-60 times a second depends on what hz the electricity in your country is. It's kinda a given that those blinks will be easily distinguished when you slow down time 32 times. All artificial lights flicker but some can be used in high framerate videos while others can't. Even the sun flickers but there is currently no camera able to record in a framerate high enough to see it. When they film in high framerates in a studio setting they actually sync the flickering with the camera so all frames it records are when the light is on.
I think some types of LED lights don't flicker (but be careful, some do) so you can try with them if you have.
Incandescent lamps won't flicker for sure, you can try using them.

Ok cool, its definately the lights in the house, just tried it with curtains open n lights off, no strobe.
So i guess im limited to doing slow mo in sunlight or need to buy new light bulbs lol
I have led lightbulbs upstairs, all downstairs ones are old school filament type bulbs, due to hours i work i best get looking for some flicker free lights
Hello, I've recently purchased a Oneplus 7 Pro and noticed it was using an OLED panel, the problem is that Burn-ins scare me a whole lot, as such, I have been wondering how others have been using their phones. I've tried using Google, but have found nothing truly satisfactory and as such, I have compilled a few questions i had about the display.
- Is screen burn-in still a real issue? and should I avoid using the phone over long periods of time?
- Do "True black" wallpapers help with this issue? what about dark gray? and a bright wallpaper?
- Do both the static navigation bar and status bar have issues? Same with the AOD, does the fingerprint icon cause issues?
- Should I take extra steps to prevent burn-in? (If so, please say which ones, eg. Any practices you have to prevent screen burn-ins)
(On a side note, does anyone approximatly know how long [in general] an OLED panel at medium brightness and daily moderate to heavy use has before it shows signs of burn-in?)
I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, but i have searched through the forums and have found nothing.
Thanks a lot!

I don't even think about it.
I share the same concerns.
The last OLED phone I had was a Galaxy Nexus and I told myself I'd never get an OLED screen again after that nightmare.
Dealing with the OLED issues has been better with improvements in the technology and overall quality control.
Android OS also has some changes that help prevent burn in. For example the navigation bar and status bar change colors based on the app.
With AOD I know Samsung for example slowly moves the elements around so it doesn't burn in. You can enable the Oneplus AOD with root but Always on Display isn't the same as the Ambient Display on stock Oneplus. Ambient display doesn't stay on screen long enough to really cause any burn in.
Best practices are to avoid high brightness, stay at half or less. If you have a game HUD or other static elements on screen for extended periods of time, rotate the phone when in landscape so it is less likely to burn in.
I'm not an expert on this so i'd like to hear others responses too. This is a more expensive flagship phone so I want to use it for games but avoid the burn in.
I've already read some reports of burn-in on Oneplus Chinese board. The culprits seem to be some Tencent games and its video streaming service. All have very high contrast UI elements, and users tend to turn the brightness very high.
This was the case with my plasma TV. Civ4 left some nasty burn-in in the first year but after so many years of heavy PC usage those remain the only true burn-ins on the TV. It depends on the app. Are there some ways to measure contrast of onscreen elements? In addition to phones I need to replace my plasma with OLED in the coming years.
I got burn in on my OnePlus 3 bc I keep it in my car and use it for a music player, there were times I left it on overnight on a static image multiple times, so if u plan keeping ur phone on all the time on a certain image then u don't have anything to worry about.
I used the Galaxy S3, Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5T all with OLEDs. No burn in. Never. Of course if you are and extrem case and you leave the screen static on for a lot of hours on several days there MIGHT be the risk. But with normal to "normal" heavy usage you shouldnt really be concerned.

Better u only turn it on for a few seconds, be carefull after 10 sec it gets critical..
Just don't leave the screen on at max brightness for long periods of time and you'll avoid burn in.
Because the pixels are self-illuminating and will eventually wear out/start dimming in an OLED display over time, this will probably be a concern with any phone that has such a display.
I had burn-in with my OnePlus 3T starting after a little over a year of use. I had my 6T for about 7 months and hadn't noticed any problems with it by that point.
I think the biggest culprit in long-term use is the notifications area of the status bar, unfortunately. The notification icons usually directly contrast with whatever is on the screen at the time, which ends up causing the pixels to wear out at different rates. While the burn-in on my 3T wasn't defined or crisp, there was a noticeable brightness difference where the icons usually display, and it was apparent any time there was a solid color in that area of the screen.

To fight this, keep up to date with swiping away notifications, and use gesture controls in OOS instead of the navigation bar.
Use Auto brightness and enjoy the phone...
Honestly, I would be concerned. I have noticed screen burn on my 7 Pro already. My specific case is that I use Waze while driving, and on long (> 1 hour) drives I get the UI lightly burned in. After I noticed it, I alternate the phone orientation 180 degrees to minimize its effects. I also have the "Colors" screen saver activate whenever plugged in, which has noticeably reduced & corrected the issue. Just be aware and adjust the phone orientation regularly and you should not see anything burn in.
My Galaxy S4 and 1+ 3T both had burn in, but after several years of use. (Same app was the culprit.) I think the reason it happened on my 7 Pro faster is because of the higher brightness and 90Hz refresh rate. Once I kicked it down to 60Hz it does not happen near as often .

Do you have your screen turned to full brightness when using waze? I keep mine at about 40-50% brightness. I use maps for 2-3 hours a day 4 or 5 days a week and I have had my 7 Pro since launch and I have zero burn in. I have never had burn in going back to my note 3 days either. I/m actually looking at my OP6 right now as well and no burn in there either (bought that on launch day as well). I also activated forced 90hz all apps on my 7Pro as well and nothing yet. I'm guessing it's your screen brightness that is doing it. Nothing else makes any sense.
Tmobile demo both phone in my store have burn in.... But also does the note 9 and a few others.
Those have the same image on the screen 90% of the time and the screens are set to max brightness to show off the display. All AMOLED displays will burn in if you test your phone the same. When I use maps, I turn off auto brightness and just set it bright enough to see the screen which usually is about 40% brightness. I also change my wallpaper like once a week as well
Had burn in on both 6p and s9 and all in status bar and navigation bar. Now I've installed system tuner and switched on full immersive mode. You need to be rooted though. Using battery widget to look at battery life.

Used my OP3 for 3 years straight until I switched to the 7 pro. Never had to think about burn in. Just chill and enjoy the device
When using google maps or waze on long trips, keep the screen off till the next turn. That's what i do. I NEVER keep the screen on long enough with a static image. I don't think there is any tech that will not give a burn in with a static image over long periods of time. I will still pick OLED over LCD any day.

Everyone should just have a spare lcd phone for navigation. I use an iphone 6s for navigation in my card. Tether data from my phone and dont have tk worry about burn in
I use mine for navigation ,i drive a convertible so the screen is always on high brightness.
Never had any issues with my galaxy s8 which i had for over a year and used it the same way. Poor thing had the maps on more than anything else.i broke the display before the any burn ins.
The display should not have any burn ins even after prolonged use.
However you might want to keep it at 90%max brightness.
I make the most of my oneplus 7 pro so if i notice any burn ins i'll just return it to warranty. I don't care ,i use the phone however i want to.
Also the colors are going to be visibly washed out after a few years of use compared to when it was new,that's why i always insure my phones and just get a brand new one before my contract expires.
In order to avoid getting burn-in you have to:
1. Avoid displaying images with static contents for more than one hour at a time. Many people get their keyboard burnt in because they text obsessively.
2. Avoid using a higher brightness than you need.
3. Maybe use the gesture based navigation.
Tipically burn in is a non-issue but displaying static content for more than an hour uninterrupted can get it to appear, depends on the panel, brightness and color being displayed.. Just pause what you're doing every once in a while and you should be fine.
The first day I had my GS22U I noticed what I thought was some sort of odd screen adjustments but thought it may be adaptive brightness learning my habits. As I've used the phone I was able to reliably replicate my issue. Anytime I'm using adaptive refresh rate and I'm using a text field I can see what appears to be very subtle gradient shifts or flickering both when I start typing and when I stop typing. This is especially noticable in Google chromes search bar, Facebook messenger and reddit text fields. If you use a camera to look at the display it almost appears as an old school crt monitor when you see it through a camera. I was able to replicate this issue on my wife's device as well and the issue can be resolved by lowering the refresh rate to 60hz.
Has anyone else noticed this issue, or would car to try to replicate the issue? It is extremely subtle and easiest to detect using a camera to record it. Is there anyway to lock my refresh rate to a higher frequency with root permission?
Update, I happened to scroll down and see the galaxy max hz app that allowed me control over the refresh rate and I noticed that certain frequency would create the aforementioned issue and certain frequencies wouldn't. It seems as if seeing the min to 60 and max to 120 has resolved my flicker issue. Edit: never mind. It seems that different frequencies or the changing of frequencies tends to make the issue worse.
i turned it off, phone is very laggy with it. my screen is flickering
Now it seems as if I'm having a hard time noticing it with my naked eye but it seems to be getting worse when I look at it through a camera. I'm wondering if I should trade this in as a defective device.

No but worried it's going to get worse and become even more noticable with the naked eye. I wouldn't have thought to look at it through a camera if I wasn't noticing something I noticed with my naked eye.

Hey bro , did you fix that issue ??
