This will probably happen to all of us to some degree sooner or later.

The image retention that lasts 1-3 seconds we might see within a month or two usage is actually one of the characteristics of AMOLED "Ghosting effect"

which is not the same as AMOLED "reverse led fatigue" (or although technically incorrect but more widely understood term "Burn-ins") which maybe seen as permanent image retention shown as yellowish outlines of icons / keyboard outlines, etc.

Sadly, there's really nothing you can do about this problem after the fact, except to change the screen itself if it is really bothersome. Or you may try to change/delete/make transparent of the permanently placed icons/other objects/pictures to try to reverse these effects.

The only preventive measures would be changing screen rotation from vertical to horizontal, and make sure you don't have the screen on at a stay still image (preferably set auto screen off to 30seconds or so.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
It is humorous how particular many people are about "pocket" screens. Oled technology in reality is like the merger of lcd and plasma screens. And oled does get image retention and burn in similar to plasma. It is harder to avoid on a cell phone with so many possibilities of static images. Really though, it is good to mention/complaint about it so it gets attention and oled manufacturers try to improve upon the technology and try to minimize or get rid of the issues altogether. Many people still think plasmas get burn in very easily and that is far from the truth. The last 3 years or so Panasonic and Samsung have made great strides in minimizing the possibility and you see very few complaints about it. And it is even more humorous that many people think lcd technology is better for viewing because it is newer than plasma when the exact opposite is true. LCD technology is older than plasma, and aside from power usage and weight, lcd doesn't have many benefits over plasma. And because of the post processing to try and overcome the deficiencies of lcd viewing lcd screens are closing the gap in power consumption with plasma. But yeah, all you can do about the image retention of oled now is put pressure on samsung and lg and any newcomers to the technology to improve it. Hopefully, oled will overcome its shortcomings to lcd and plasma and be the better tech out of all three in the near future. I wish they made laptops with plasma screens. That would be an awesome option for laptop users that use theirs as desktop replacements like myself.

I don't have any "burn in". I guess different screens behave differently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Many people think they dont have it till they install dead pixel detect and check each color. I bet you have it on the color red.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
All my pixels are fine but I notice the notification bar retention on brown with the XDA app and I notice the bottom (whatever it's called bar) on grey from the app you suggested. Either way, I still love the phone!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I don't. Out of curiosity I tried that app out after reading about it on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I don't have it on my Nexus, but my Fascinate (Super Amoled - same thing as nexus) has it.

http://phota.me/hKrT

It's hard to see it, but you can see the whiteness on the left side.

In darkness - you can even tell where the clock / battery / signal bars are.

Also as others mentioned, it's not a burn in, but fatigue (more like laziness). Basically where there were colors on the status bar, the color of the pixels are normal. It's where it was predominantly black - that it has the whiteness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
And the ironic part is changing from the old white bar in froyo to the new black bar was intended to fix the burn in issue. Many nexus one owners posted on googles forum that the white bar is causing burn in. So in response google changed to black, but now the opposite burn in is happening. Just cant win.

how can you tell? the nav menu is always showing when you switch colors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
It should be full screen if you use the app Dead Pixel Test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You just rotate your screen, and the bars will switch to the other side so you can inspect the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
don't see any of that with the dead pixel app. Mine has crappy banding at low brightness and is grainier than my dads lte nexus but I have no burn in. Maybe because I use trebuchet launcher and vary how I hold my phone, I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Well this thread is a relief. I thought I was nuts when I would see the blue in stuff like Currents (white background) and Kindle (both white/sepia backgrounds) and the XDA app's load screen. Sorta reassured this is not a minor issue, but relatively normal.

That being said, most of the comments gravitate towards:

(1) Hiding status bar

(2) Using landscape mode to "rest" the pixels

What other options are out there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evolving:
Cool story bro....(yep I'm creepin) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
He probably think Beats Audio is something more than just a bass boost.

And overpriced, overrated, and utterly garbage headphones.

Question on topic: Kindle goes full screen; would leaving it on white do anything? How about black? If both, which would be better?

My apologies, my OCD knows no end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
Nova Launcher gives you the option of hiding your status/notification bar. Makes it look nice but then again....sometimes I have no idea I have notifications but the notification light helps though with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
No Nova with CM9; I presume that trebuchet will eventually have a similar feature. Right now I'm just leaving Kindle/Browser up lol.

Has your retention gone away/reduced at all? I wonder if changing the color of the status bar will help. I'd rather have white burn in that blue, that's for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GManLynx:
I installed dead pixel and went through the colors and saw nothing but the color... Unless I'm missing something I've had my phone for 2 months and have no burn in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
I'll take Samsung and OLED fatigue over HTC and their Crapdragon devices eight days a week. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cd78:
Can someone post up a transparent status and bottom bar zip? How does it look? Surely that would prevent any "burn in"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
That's a great idea. Wouldn't changing it from blue to white also solve it? I mean I'm fine with white burn in that's not nearly as noticeable on things like white backgrounds! ;)

Installed Nova on top of Trebuchet. F it. There's a notification bar toggle, that makes life easier; the notification bar is also there in the lock screen. So that + Light Flow = not missing much. Also got rid of the dock separator. Looks sick with a black wallpaper, and hopefully this starts reversing some of the retention.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Umm yeah i already posted thats how i fixed my burn issue. Got it from the themes forum. Transparent top and bottom bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cd78:
Cheers will try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
How long did it take before you noticed it reducing? I have my notification bar hidden now, but it still pops up for lock screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I really dont know the exact time. Ive been using the transparent systemUI apk about 6 weeks now. Had the phone about a month before that. Note it didnt totally completely remove the fading, but made it where its almost impossible to see anything anymore.

Its just nice when i see those pixels being used when my wallpaper shows thru completely, knowing they arent dead black at all times. Good enough to put my mind at ease.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Ok. I'll probably just stick with the navigation bar hide feature until I find a transparent bar thats compatible. The ones I saw in Theme forum had mixed success w/ CDMA Nexi, from what I could gather.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The one i grabbed from the transparent thread was built for 4.0.2 but worked on my stock 4.0.1. They may have built a later one i dont know. But they have instructions to build it yourself if you want. Its easy mod but need linux setup to compile, though i think they were working on a smali edit so u could mod it just in windows. I just got lucky and flashed and it worked so stuck with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squarejp:
You should send back your Galaxy Nexus to Samsung for warranty repair. They will replace the AMOLED screen for you. Just don't keep your screen turned on with the same image for too long. OLED's life span is short.

It happened on my Galaxy S and I did send back the phone to Samsung for repair. I then got a brand new screen! Whoo Hoo

Sent from my francoPhone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Yeah. Sometimes I wish I never joined the internet, I'd never notice this stuff lol.

I haven't checked to see if I have the soft key "burn in," but I def have that odd blueish retention up top (noticeable in stuff like Kindle, browser, Currents, XDA app up top, white/gray backgrounds when the notification bar is hidden). Although I tell you this, if you leave your browser or something on full screen, it almost goes away before your eyes ;).

Either that or I'm slowly disintegrating into insanity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
How are your displays now. Has is become worse, or does it stop at some point?

I have had mine for about 2 months, and just noticed the blue shadow with batt and signal indicator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
No burn in for me. It may be an issue with defective screens. I hear Samsung has a anti burn in technology on all of its AMOLED's, but I guess its not perfect or doesn't exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
Have you checked with dead pixel app? Its most visible on purple color on mine.

And how long have you had yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sardonik:
I've had this particular Gnex since Jan and it shows a brighter, blue-tinted strip where the soft buttons are when I rotate my phone to landscape with a white background in use. I noticed that a while back. Only really noticeable on a uniform background under lower brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
How about in the top where the notification bar is?

I only have blue tint in the top of mine. Nothing at all in the bottom where the softkeys are. I just talked to the serviceprovider, and they'll send it to repair.

What makes me thinks its an actually fault in the screen is, that i only have the tint in the top, and absolutely nothing in the bottem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I got rid of my burn in by hiding both top and bottom bar once per day and browsing the web with total full screen. Aokp has the hide buttons option in the power button menu. You just need to exercise those pixels periodically and it fixed mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
That is not so easy on stock. But I actually see a lot of movies on it when I ride the train home from work. That is full screen but it doesn't seem to affect it.

I also gave a repair pixel app a go yesterday. Ran different colors for an hour but no noticeable difference.

ok I will try once I am home through adb. So far there is nothing under my cache folder. I am using file manager HD but it should pick up a zip file.
[Sony Tablet S] javbmw:
Thank you condi... The instructions worked perfectly!!
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
Just a little tip. I'd suggest you use Root Explorer instead of File Manager HD.

You see, File Manager HD does not show the files in /cache. (mine didn't)

I tried File Manager HD on my tablet and found nothing inside /cache

But with Root Explorer I found three different directories. There among OTA.
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
That did the trick. I used the root browser in rom tool box and copied the zip to my sd card. Thank you for the help guys.
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
Good advice kyddan ... same on my tab with file manager HD.

I work normally with Root Explorer or File Expert.

Both show the folders and files in /cache .. File Manager HD do not.

hahahahah I just had brick... I'm working on auto-install script for "rescue-backdoor", and accidentally I've pushed empty 0bytes build.prop - after reboot - sony logo, then black screen.... and guess what...

recovery reads incremental value (which doesnt exists..) as "0" zero ;)

so i've got lower value, and reflash done.

after reboot my tab started correctly, but.. after reboot again brick - black screen.

fortunatelly - after few min with black screen i've got adb access.

but for first - i can't get root access.. 'su' not works.

but... '/system/xbin/su' works :) root :) lets check - build.prop still empty,

remounted system as rw, pushed correct build.prop - ahhh again working !! :)

that was good experience hahah.

-------------edit:

i've got auto-install tool ready... need to make one more full test with my device and will publish it.

full automatic !!!!! :)
[Sony Tablet S] ase3000:
This is driving me crazy. why everyone is getting update message when changing the incremental value while my dumass tablet keeps saying that my system is up to date :confused:

[Sony Tablet S] riccardo91:
All done! It works well! Thanks! Avoiding bootloop it's even a good thing!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Great :) Just remember one thing -

after reflash in recovery, your build.prop will be updated to higher value - then to be safe you need to reapply modification!

--- my 100th post ! :D
[Sony Tablet S] Amiga4ever123:
I bricked my XTS playuing with build.prop. Shame I didn't see this post before. For future - how can I edit build.prop in a safe way? I changed file permission then I forgot to restore default. After restart brick. Do I need to change permission to edit build.prop then do i NEED to restore proper permission back? I'm still confused with it
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
You should get ADB access, connect the tablet to your PC with the CMD up which is ready for ADB.

Do the following commands:

adb shell

su (ignore the error)

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

cd /system/

chmod 644 build.prop

If you have the original backup do:

rm build.prop

mv build.prop.bak build.prop

[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
This package don't use anymore on official ICS.

Now, please use whirleyes's BootMenu on official ICS. ;)

If you have GSM Razr, use whirleyes's BootMenu.

If you have CDMA Razr, use hashcode's Safestrap.

Thanks for users.

Here is the interesting CWM Recovery are introduced. :D

This recovery is Touchable Recovery.

Our Razr's screen is big.

So, i wanted to use it in my razr.

One could not solve. However, touch and features are all works well.

One problem is button do not work.

When push button, screen is freezing. :eek:

But, don't care. Just push volumn-down + power, 5~10 second. :p

So, i hope a useful tool. ;)

[Conditions for installation]

nitroglycerine33's Bootstrap must be installed on your Razr.

(Safestrap is not working. Don't install. Only Bootstrap.)

[Download]

Removed.

[Install]

1. Download (Update_RAZR_CWMRecovery_TouchOnly_J.Y.Daddy_12.02.21.zip)

2. File copy at SDcard.

3. Recovery boot on your razr.

4. in recovery menu: "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> select file.

5. After update completed, reboot.

6. After reboot completed, recovery boot again.

You will see the new touchable recovery screen!

[How back to the previous recovery?]

Re-install Bootstrap.apk.

If you using "Motomizer Expert Edition", you can use "Recovery Install" menu.

Good luck with Razr!!
