Should i worry about screen burn-in on my Oneplus 7 Pro?

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.
https://www.cnet.com/news/oled-screen-burn-in-what-you-need-to-know/
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.

Display Issue on two Note 20 Ultra

I bought myself a Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon Version (Hong Kong Version). After around 2 weeks right we’re the proximity sensor is, a dark discoloration started to appear. It’s not super good visible, but still it was there. I tried to overlook it but couldn’t. So i started a repair/exchange process. After a huge war to get a perfect device the shop where i bought the mobile exchanged it with a new one. But again after 1 week this weird dark spot started to appear. Sometimes the splotch is faintly visible, sometimes he is very visible. Now i have payed 1300 Dollars but can’t have a perfect display. Anyone having the same issue?

Ask yourself , what rogue apps are you heavily using that cause this issue. These things normally occur during using VoIP apps on high brightness with screen left ON for long durations. Heat , bright screen and VoIP apps that use the proximity sensor continuously degrade it.
User KURDking posted about similar issues on this forum a month or so back.

First i use the mobile on very low brightness since i got it. Secondly i used nothing like the apps you described. So i can’t see how i caused this. And I’m not the only one. There are other cases with exactly the same issue. It’s a design flaw.

I forgot to mention that i carefully checked the battery temperature and cpu temperature all the time to avoid unnecessary strain on the display and the internals. But still after a short time on both mobiles the same issue.

Lol i own the mobile max 2 weeks. In this two weeks i watched videos. I used whatsapp for texting (maybe 2-3 phone calls). I used a video player to watch download videos, but i used nothing that would have left the display on for a long time with the proximity sensor working. I used the phone more for media, because i still own my iPhone 11 pro max for phone calls and alike. Hence i can’t explain why this is happening. I’m the first one who would say yeah i used the apps you mentioned on high brightness all the time, but that’s not the case.

Btw your sarcastic questions are unnecessary. If you think your clever and everyone else is a moron, nice for you. But the Note 20 Ultra is not my first mobile, and i know what to avoid, and what to do in most cases. But when i get the same issue two times in less than 2 weeks without doing anything maybe causing this, i think it’s ok to ask if anyone else is having the same issue.

No worries bubba. I hope you find an amicable solution soon.

Yeah every n20u has it. Some people just don't have the eyes to see it or choose not to / conditioned to ignore it.
I can see it on demand but I forgot it was even there till this thread. No way around it, it's a design flaw of this generation.
My n10+ isn't visible unless it's being used but what can we do, Nothing.

My US Note 20 Ultra has that as well. I didn't notice it for 3 months, then there it was. It is from the proximity sensor, and it's only visible in dark environments, and on days when I've had long calls. Other times, it's not visible at all and I'm guessing the sensor is under the screen and that the visible flashing causes it to slightly offset the AMOLED pixels. Every Note 20 Ultra I've seen also has image retention issue (not to the point of burn in) but high contrast images fade off the screen for about 5-10 seconds and this is only visible on gray backgrounds. Looking for a "perfect" one may be a waste of time.

Question Adaptive refresh rate

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.

Question Video Flickering at 60fps

Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. - https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...t-flickering-on-video-recordings/td-p/2209967
Seems to only do it at 60fps options 1080p60 and 4K60.
Except its just not flash light related or LED light related. It'll do it outside as well Highly annoying!

I tested it and don't have this issue.

Its not a 100% all the time issue. Its under certain lighting specific lighting conditons. Usually lower light for me

for low light always use auto fps. it was tested to show its actually better and brighter and clearer

Last year on the 12 Pro Max Auto FPS ruined a video that couldnt be remade. It for some reason switched despite being in the bright outside, on top of that it recorded 24fps and made the clip choppy. Not saying samsung would do this but its not worth the risk keeping that enabled.
But the weird flickering has happened with it being bright outside as well

something doesn't seem to be syncing. i would say the flickering is due to hardware more than software. but yea i only switch on auto fps in low light and its been impressive. i forget where but there's a video of the s22u side by side and auto fps was much more preferable since it could slow down frames meaning it would be brighter with less artificial noise reduction

Looks like a PWM frequency issue depending on the brightness of the (flash LED).

Literally just made a thread about this. The exact same problem. Glad to see i'm not the only one, because I wasn't able to find any other person experiencing this. You can see my example videos here:
Is it normal that my camera flickers on videos when the lighting level changes ? Does it happen on you too ?
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ? Here are 2 example videos...

Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update

I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.

Example
I can hand my phone to my mom and set it to 60hz. And low power mode. She will think it's crazy fast and no lag. When it most certainly is not LOL
She does now find her old S10 slow after using a S21 FE the past few weeks.

Question Lock screen timeout very short on Galaxy S22 Ultra

I recently purchased a Galaxy S22 Ultra and when I'm on the lock screen trying to read my notifications, it always times out after 5 seconds and the screen goes black.
I have the display timeout for the entire Android system set to 5 minutes, and I used GoodLock to set the lock screen timeout to 1 minute, but it seems the setting is being ignored.

did you try extending your lockscreen's timeout for a maximum of 2 minutes via lockstar?

I did. It did not change anything. The reviews for LockStar on the galaxy store show a lot of people having this same problem.

I just changed the timeout to 15 seconds. It stayed on for 15 seconds. There was an update available when I opened LockStar. Perhaps this was addressed in the update.

I saw the update too and tried, and it did not work :-\ I also noticed the last review in the galaxy store mentioned today’s update fixed a different one of their issues, but not the timeout one.

Anyone a solution for this issue yet ? I'm using a Galaxy S10 BTW

An update of LockStar ended up fixing this for me a little while back. Like within the last 4 weeks.

I can't say this is related but when I'm making a call and on speaker my screen goes dim after 10 seconds and black after another 5 even though my display is set for 10 minutes. It happens with both my s22u and s21u. Neither Samsung or the local repair shop can answer why.

That is most certainly a different issue.
I seem to recall my phone screen turning off when on a call if it thinks the phone is next to my ear. Maybe it could be related to that?

Samsung Rep said the same thing however the phone was a good 12" directly in front of me. I did check some settings they recommended but no difference. Took it to the repair shop they recommended and they could only say it shouldn't do that. Both my s22u and s21u do it but my note 8 never did and still doesn't.
