Hi guys this is my first post, and I was wondering where I could get an answer for this...
So the thing is im an Uber driver, this means that I have my screen on almost all the time while driving (avg 5-6 hrs) and I'm planning on upgrading my phone and not be límited to lcd panels so... I was curious that I could Run an app called Tasker and make a script so when I open the Uber Driver app and at certain intervals the colors of the screen would be inverted (I think this is for visualy impaired people) so that the pixels that were white now are black and blue are yellow etc But I am not sure if this would prevent burn in bc after all the screen would be ON a lot through the day... Thanks for reading!
LCDs don't "burn in". The crystals become staticly polarized. It's reversible.

I'm looking for an application to adjust the color temperature of the display (not the brightness. the color temperature). There's a program for PC/Mac/Linux called F.lux that adjusts the temperature for the time of day (warm at night, and more sun-like during the day). I've been looking for something even remotely similar on Android, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
PS, the ultimate purpose of adjusting the temperature is that the extremely blue displays many of us use in the evening (LCD TVs, computer screens, phones, etc.) can disrupt sleep patters causing insomnia at night and difficulty waking in the morning. It's not the brightness of the display that's the problem, but the temperature of the color.
[and yes, I've searched. only suggestion was a ROM for a different phone]

This is an excellent idea, the blue hue sh*ts me to tears. Had a look around but can't find anything like it. Will keep an eye here and see how you get on!
Good luck, and welcome to XDA
Hello friends,
Recently I came across this article regarding burn-in issues in AMOLED and according to the article it seems that screen filter apps can cause irreversible damage (burn-in) on AMOLED. I'm quoting few lines form the articles below,
Some screen filters can turn the screen to another color — for example the app Twilight can make all images red-hued. However, this was reported to intensify screen burn-in. While red-shifted colors will decay less rapidly than blue or green, overusing any particular hue will eventually create a noticeable impact on the color accuracy of your screen.

Personally I use red filter at 15-35% varyingly.
My question, How fast could the burn-in occur since I use Twilight every night?
Recently my screen has started developing strange shadows of apps that i use for longer time, like browsers, keyboard etc.
Even youtube after using for more than an hour or so give shadows on screen.
The issue is more persistent with the keyboard, as i am a heavy internet user (7-8 hrs online) and most of the time keyboard stays on the screen, the screen is showing me a persistent shadow of keyboard, initially just after using it for more than an hour the shadow is very clear and it stays even in the brightest apps and screens , later after sometime it starts to fade but never really goes away, its there always faintly.
What should I do?
Attached screenshots but i don't know if you guys can see them or not.
Edit : its on the screen (hardware)as screenshots don't have shadows, don't know if my screen is faulty
Screenshots are no good, take a picture of the physical phone screen instead.
Screen Burn-in Tool could help, it's designed for AMOLED, but it might end up having the same effect, and there should be no risk (except maybe some wasted time ).

Thanks but i think its better to get the screen replaced because the burn-in tool is a temporary solution, it again comes up after few hours and usually goes away in the morning as i don't use phone at night..
Also screen flickering is visible on very close inspection of some dark screens and checkered wallpapers
Note: The following post was posted on Samsung Members: I thought I'd post it on here to raise awareness: and to get help.
Recently brought a Samsung Galaxy A51 for a family member, and upon setting the fingerprint and activating the blue light filter: I realised everytime I'm on the lock screen, there's no blue light filter! Upon unlocking, the filter is applied to the rest of the phone. I read on the Samsung forum when someone asked why, that it's like that due to the fingerprint. So why can't the rest of the screen, apart from the fingerprint area, have blue light filter?! Am I expected to burn my eyes whilst trying to look at the time in the middle of the night?! I'm sure with Amoled panels, that each pixel can be controlled, so why hasn't this been applied? Samsung needs to step up their software game as a simple error like this gives a terrible experience. Not the first time something like this occured on a Samsung device.*Furthermore, I tried a third party blue light filter: Twilight which worked fine with the fingerprint. Rather use the in built one as it's lots better.
I'd appreciate any help, thanks!
You can set a Bixby routine to lower the brightness and turn on blue light filter at certain time.
I really like the lockscreen with full brightness, to enjoy the beautiful images of the dynamic wallpapers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I still think samsung should e automatically implement something to make the lock-screen, eye-frienly at night time. As the screen is really nice, but it hurts your eyes at night. They really,
really need to fix the software as there are a few issues: one of which is that it's buggy.
Hey guys,
I have bought oneplus 8t after it's launch and never had seen this issue before. From today onwards I'm seeing screen flickering on the lock screen. I might have missed this before or this is just in my device. I usually put dark wall on the lock screen. Yesterday I changed that to a bright one. The flickering is visible when the screen brightness is really low and screen is turned on and the first time is really bad, it is taking time to adjust and the following takes less time to adjust.
Please let me know if this is a rare care in my device or this is happening to everyone.
Edit - I'm also noticing weird color shift in chrome browser. White to warm white color
Color shift in chrome was due to a chrome flag, disabling it fixed that one.
