[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Definitely can still happen on the s8+. I'd recommend not having your screen excessively bright while static images are on screen if you can help it. It's a pain but this is just an unfortunate trade-off with these beautiful screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
It's not a trade-off. It can happen with virtually ANY type of display. LCD, LED, OLED, etc. No mobile phone display is immune.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
I'm sorry if you dont like it but its the truth. I absolutely love the Samsung phones so I'm not against the phone. I've had the Note, S3, S4, S5, S6E, S7E and now the S8+.

I'm the first person to correct somebody wrongly bashing these phones but in this case it is what it is mate. Its well documented and accepted as fact that screen burn in on Amoled is more prevalent than some other display technologies. You need to be a little bit more mindful with Amoled if you want to keep the screen looking nice with heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Based on your response, it's apparent that you didn't quite grasp mine. Anyway, cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Based on your first response you obviously didn't grasp mine at all whatsoever. I wasn't comparing Amoled directly to any other screen technology but the fact remains that the prevelance of screen burn in is generally higher than other screen types in general. That's not just conjecture on my part.

Its accepted fact. Also I'd appreciate it if you dropped the childish, rude and flippant attitude towards me. I was simply responding to your straw man argument.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Yeah, ok then. Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mouzam:
There was one week where I used it excessively. And I kept the screen full bright. When I saw the screen burn in with the arrow of waze navigation. I started looking up on the Internet to solve the burn in issue somehow. That's when I found out that it's a common issue on amoled screens apparently. And the only way to solve it was to send it back to Samsung for a repair or replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Yeah unfortunately its one of those things that you just have to be mindful of, even when you're not on full brightness.

I was pretty lucky with most of my galaxy phones especially considering how heavily I used them, although my S7E was an exception.

I still have the phone and after just 13 months you can clearly see discoloration on the screen and admittedly very feint burn in on UI elements ie. the status bar. The screen discoloration is pretty bad and perfectly matches the YouTube app, where the video is playing up top and the static white comment section below put uneven "wear" on my screen. I'm now trying to make a habit to watch longer YouTube videos in fullscreen to avoid a similar result.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] XkobiX:
So they replaced it for you? If it is so common on amoled display, they still replace or repair burned in screens?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mouzam:
Yes they did. I rang samsung and told them about the issue. They got the phone picked up from my house. I was expecting them to probably just replace the screen but to my shock they sent me a brand new sealed s7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YandereSan:
Amoled is notorious for burn-ins. I would avoid using any app for prolonged periods of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] r8dooo:
I work for a carrier and never in my 14 years have I seen a LCD screen burn in I have however seen multiple AMOLED panels with burn in especially demo phones (yes on all day rolling content but so are the LCD models) this is a risk with organic displays to his point is true it is a trade off whichever way you sugercoat it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
I don't know how long you've been working for a carrier. I don't even know that "working for a carrier" translates to having long-term experience with all display varieties. I can only surmise that your experience with LCD displays is limited.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] r8dooo:
Doesn't take much research on the tech I'm certain people on here would agree that OLED is prone to screen burn in also unless you have a better history or working in the industry with more factual insight that I do then it goes down to opinion fact
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
This is true. I saw a demo S7E in one of the telco stores only a few months after the initial release and the screen was so insanely burnt in you couldn't actually make out what was on the screen behind the burn in. I'd never seen anything like it.

As you said, those demo units are on all day, but this burn in was on a whole other level. I've never seen an LCD come close. Worst I've heard of on an LCD is a bit of ghosting or some stuck pixels which can sometimes be "unstuck" or reversed with an app that flashes multiple colors at a high frequency, though that's not to say that it can't happen.

With an Amoled screen you only get one chance, sadly. I learnt from experience on my own S7E, which has some noticeable burn-in in various spots around the screen. Now I make a conscious effort to avoid unwanted damage to the screen whenever possible.

Picture of a test blue screen on my S7E attached for proof.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Wrong direction with your response. All I said was that I presume you haven't had much experience with LCD displays.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xxxrichievxxx:
Do you believe using an app that flashes colors works on AMOLED screens? I've read about Samsung phones having this issue so it's not new news to me, but if I can 'prevent' it by running an app like that that'd be nice :)

I saw a friends Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that had the red YouTube banners burned in - you can kind of make up what video he was watching (with static image) haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
No, AMOLED isn't like LCD in that regard unfortunately. Its non reversible as far as I'm aware. Sometimes some light ghosting will remain for a short time after moderate use of an app, but if its actually burnt in, you're outta luck.

The best way to "fix" it is to prevent the burn in in the first place. Try to avoid having your screen near full brightness on a completely static image as much as reasonably possible.

I also got a lot of my burn in watching YouTube for example, so now I make a habit to watch the videos in full screen if I plan on spending a bit of time watching videos in one sitting to avoid the bright, static YouTube UI elements from burning in on my screen.

The annoying thing with the s7 was that I never had my screen on full brightness to conserve battery. Most of the time I was between 50% and 80% so it can still happen at a lower brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DummyPLUG:
LCD technically will not have burn in effect but it will have Image Persistence, which similar to burn in effect, but it can be fix on most case. Some monitor come with a function to fix it.

We have lot of dell u3011,u3014, u3017 at work, they will eventually have Image Persistence, fix by the "LCD conditioning" on monitor menu a few hours.

p.s. plasma, CRT also have burn in effect.

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

Imagine each pixel on the AMOLED is a light bulb, the more it turn on/brighter, the shorter the life/dimmer.

What you can do is even out the effect, like samsung move the on screen button a few pixel every few mins to even out the effect.

and that's why it always suggest to use dark theme on amoled screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Are you serious? Lack of fundamental comprehension and then you blatantly repeat it again by comparing AMOLED to other screen types. And then call that person out by calling him childish? I hope you don't drive a motorized vehicle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Nothing I said is untrue. His first response to me had nothing to do with my initial post. I merely acknowledged one of the known downsides of Amoled technology and I got a weird response implying that I was somehow wrong because other screen types can burn in too. What?

My post didn't say anywhere that burn in was/wasn't possible on LCD's and other screen types because it was irrelevant and had nothing to do with the topic or my post. This thread is about Amoled screens if you hadn't noticed. If he'd never made that post I still would have never made any direct comparison.

Although their post had nothing to do with my initial response, since the topic was already brought up, I did draw some comparisons between the different screen types AFTER the fact.

So it seems my reading comprehension is just fine. If you have nothing on topic to add to this conversation and only wish to flame and harass other users of this site then you can deal with the moderators next. Thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
I had to return TWO LG V20's due to LCD burn in. TWO OF THEM. Wish I had pics I could show you. Now, on the other hand, I've owned the Galaxy SII, SIII, two S4's, two S5's, one Note 4, two Note Edges, one Note 5, three Note 7's, one S7, one S7 Edge and now the S8+. And, guess what? Not a single Samsung AMOLED display on the SIXTEEN Samsung phones I've owned has experienced any degree of burn-in. Not one. I don't buy what y'all are trying to sell.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xxxrichievxxx:
I came from a v20 and I had issues with the coners of the screens looking white as if something was 'pushing' them. I ditched the phone and got the Samsung lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tiago A:
In my Mi Mix with AUO LCD panel, I have bigger burn ins. With Sharp panel, not. So, LCD displays are propense to have burn in too.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartoumi:
I was wondering if the root of the phone (not root access, but root folder) gets messy over time when installing and flashing different roms? Or when I do a full wipe in twrp does this format the root of the phone as well? Why I'm asking this is because I'm curious is there might be any left-over files or folders that can mess things up with certain apps or rom functionality.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
Everything related to rom exists in /system only. Rest of the folders in root are bootloader and efs modem files you can not delete them and if you even tried your phone will die forever.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartoumi:
When I take a look in the root there are 22 folders and 40 files. Is this a normal structure for the root? Will a stock firmware flash via odin replace the root or is this exactly the same as flashing a rom from xda in twrp?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
The root folder (/) of an Android device is just temporary expect those folders;

Mounted on physical partitions;

/data

/system

/cache

/efs

/persdata

/preload

/sbfs

/vendor (symlink of /system/vendor)

What you see in root folder (/) is just an extracted gzip (or lzma, depends on kernel builder) image which is a part of boot.img expect of those folders;

These are auto-generated by Linux kernel while booting;

/dev

/proc

/sys

/acct
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartoumi:
So if I understand it correctly, it's impossible to have left over files or folders from changing roms?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
Well they are important boot files which are made by hardware while booting up. We are only concerned with system partition. You can also see inside any rom zip file only system folder and boot img. So stop bothering everything except system and data partition.
[P3600 ROM Development] shoey5:
I took a newer SYS from another device that doesn't have IR, as a simple test I merged it with the Dopod Trinity WM6 OEM and built the OS. Everything works fine except for the IR Beam. The Beam is in the Control Panel, and it's enabled. However I noticed if I uncheck the option, it stays checked. The SYS folder from the other device did not have IRDA and IRDA_Lang_049 folders so I'm assuming it's related to the irdastk.dll and corresponding registry entries.

I tried taking the two folders from the original Dopod rom and dumped them into the SYS folder of my newer build but when I flash the device hangs on the second splash screen. I've also tried taking the DLL and just making a package with the registry entries but the same problem, hangs on the second splash screen.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong or how I can fix the IR Beam as I've noticed a lot of rom revisions with "Fixed Beam" but haven't been able to find any solutions as to how if it is related to the problem I'm having.

Thanks

[Shield Android TV General] pqueiro:
Hi!

I'm trying to hook up my shield to an old set of T7900 Inspire speakers. I don't have an AV receiver and would like to get surround sound via these speakers. I'm using a USB sound card that works fine with these speakers using a windows laptop, but when I tried to use the same card with the Shield, I'm only getting normal stereo. I've gone into settings and enabled 5.1 surround (auto and always on), used sources that I know are 5.1-enabled, but to no avail.

I suspect the USB sound card (which is a crappy one I'll admit) doesn't play well with Android. However, I can't find a single sound card that is guaranteed to play well with Android. So...

Do you know of any usb sound cards that work well with Android and support (at least) 5.1 surround, ideally 7.1? Has anyone done something like this with their Shields?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV General] Androilala:
I have a asus xonar u7 USB sound card, but with the shield only stereo is possible. I think for 5.1 vor 7.1 sound we need some special USB driver's for android
[Shield Android TV General] pqueiro:
It has to be the USB thing specifically though, because there's already a setting for 5.1 sound :/
