[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] smooth781:
So Google tech I think lead me in the right direction. I solved my battery problem and my blue tooth problem. It is SO much better. I was note was using handcent next SMS. I left it off and started reinstalling apps. With out it installed, My phone is working better then it has in a long time.

So in 5 hours of lite use I still have 83% left. yesterday it would have been 40%. 1 bad app causing all that problem

Hi!

Is it possible to connect a WM6 PDA via a PC to the internet (over the USB-cable)?

I need to debug an application, and therefore run tcpdump somewhere do examine the packets. If I could route networking over my PC this would be possible.

Thanks!
[Networking] Rudegar:
unless you turn it off then when the pda is connected to activesync it have access to the same network as the pc running activesync
[Networking] nayga73:
if thats the case then,why have i just received a bill of £22 for mobile data usage,when my kaiser is connected to my pc via usb???am i doing something wrong??if so,what? i'm a novice when it comes to these matters!!lol
[Networking] soggybiscuit:
maybe you did it the other way... and your pc used your pda as a modem...

on my touch dual...

if you are using the Internet Sharing app, the comp/laptop uses the gprs/3g modem on your pda.

any other time... i think the pda uses the computer's connection by default.

There is a setting somewhere in "Settings" I think, cant remember the exact wording. Sorry... dont have me phone on me.
[Networking] nayga73:
I welcome your comments,thanks 4 getting in touch.I spoke to 3 different tmobile customer service reps and only after the 3rd person was I any nearer in finding out why i'm being charged for mobile data.i had 1 tmobile CSR try and tell me that tmobile own the wireless network and also that tmobile make the handsets not htc,how ill informed was she???one also siad that if i didnt refresh the page on my pc,then gprs would kick in and that was the reason iwas being charged,they also said i should contact my broadband provider,when i challenged them that i tmobile should not be charging me for mobile data,for using my own broadband,only then did i get passed onto technical advisors.They suggested that i totally erase all gprs settings,of which i had already done the previous night,i then asked them to see if any charges were on my account for yesterday,surprise surprise i'd been charged £1.27,i told them that i had erased all gprs settings,so why were charges still showing up on my account??i was met with your wireless signal is not powerful enough,of which i said hogwash because my next door neighbour can connect from her house,so i cant see as to how my signal is too weak for me to connect my kaiser or wizard to.They have rescinded all charges,but i cant understand for the life of me,if i aint got gprs settings,how can i still be charged by tmobile for using my own home network???might need to call ghostbusters!!LOL

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bill3508:
When I first received the device, yesterday matter of fact, the screen had a small rectangle in it. Looked like it was intentional but now after wiping down the phone with a microfiber cloth their are multiple holes. So what's the purpose of this? If it's so fragile a material that a microfiber cloth would harm it what's the point. I saw their was a Reddit thread on this also.

Thoughts?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
It is a defect. They will replace your phone if you have that. I just received a replacement device and mine had the same issue.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CRasH180:
I have the same thing going on. Will contact support tomorrow to get a replacement phone.

Thank you for the insight into this,

CRasH180
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bill3508:
They want to exchange the phone but realistically what's the chance that I'll get one with the same issue especially since I had just ordered and received this one. Really would like to wait longer I think till they get some kinks worked out.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CRasH180:
I agree with you. Simply hoping they resolved the issues I addressed. We shall see what happens
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bill3508:
I'm waiting to send mine back. Probably will exchange it first of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ShooterLight:
Received my Note 8 11 days ago and I was now looking at a gray picture in my gallery when I noticed the navbar was already burnt into the screen (and the buttons, too). It's barely noticeable, but can definitely be seen if you know what you're looking for.

I've now checked my Nexus 6P which I've been using for a bit more than a year before the Note 8 arrived and it also has the navbar burn-in, but it's as barely noticeable as the Note's one, and that's scary. 1 year of usage and it has the same burn-in as an 11-day old Note 8.

Now, the question is: Am I alone? :(

P.S: Download a gray image (I've attached one for you) and view it fullscreen with max brightness to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
Not even gonna bite. If it's there, I don't want to know about it haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I was really hoping that screen burn in was a thing of the past. My Note 4 had major burnin with the status bar at the top of the screen within the first year of owning it. It's ridiculous and one of the main things that makes me want to avoid OLED screens. LCD screens may be inferior to OLED in most ways, but at least you don't get burn in Burn in within a few days of ownership would have to be a record.

My phone is supposed to finally arrive on Monday. If this is a thing, then I'll just send it back. A lot of money to spend on a device with that flaw.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I don't see any burn in
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lolitslee:
No burn in here and I've had my phone since 9/11. I use it A LOT as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Stank0:
Nope. No burn-in here also.

I haven't experienced any burn-in effects since Note 2, but I used that one for navigation almost every day for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
On my Note 4. It's only there if I go out of my way to look for it. I'm sure the Note 8 will be the same. If you snoop around for flaws, it's there on all phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Not on mine. Been using since 9/6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Yea. My Note 4 is really bad, but it's also three years old.

But after only 11 days?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
I have Note 3 since 2013 , used it for over 3 yrs as my daily driver and honestly I have no idea what do you people talk about, there is absolutely nothing resembling burn in on that screen, do I need to add there is no burn in on my new Note 8 either? Come to think of it over the years I also had Galaxy S3, S5, S8 and never seen burn in on those either. I've seen burn in on LCD screens, I couldn't believe it, I don't know how, but I've seen it, however after years of use.

Isn't navbar supposed to disappear after a while, until you bring it up again, or OP locked it in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
No burn in on my Australian Note 8, but it is only 7 days old...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marctronixx:
what is the attachment supposed to show? im seeing this on a desktop computer and i don't see anything.

i took your poll. no screen burn in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kamikaze_Ice:
OLEDs will always be subject to burn in due to how they work. Since each subpixel is for a SINGLE color, they will age differently because they're not all going to be on at the same time (ex: a pure red will not have green or blue subpixels active, so red would age faster than the other two if left on for days). The larger ones, usually blue, will need more voltage to excite it than the smaller ones (almost always green, as we see more of the green spectrum than blue--look at a CIE colorspace chart and you'll see very little "blue" compared to green). More voltage = faster aging.

This will NEVER be eliminated, and will always happen using current OLED technology (read: need alternative to currently used organic materials not subject to electric decay/aging).

HOWEVER, don't worry about this. For a user to actually introduce image burn in you will need to have your screen BRIGHT (250+ nits at least) AND have a STATIC IMAGE being shown for DAYS.

I'm 99% positive that any image burn in reports, that have NOT done the above, is not image burn in but Image Retention (aka image persistence).

Image Retention is TEMPORARY, and is mostly from electrical build up in display components and will go away once the build up has discharged (pixel is off for a while). On LG OLED HDTVs there is an option to "clear panel noise" which is what this does; don't know if other manufactures have a similar option available.

Alternatively you can add build up to improve screen uniformity by looking at a pure white screen for a few minutes. (google "jscreenfix" to see what I mean by colored noise. There is an old jscreenfix.jar file that's no longer hosted on their site for offline and full screen use. I don't know if it would work on androids as it was made back in Windows XP days).

Again, I'd like to put emphasis on the difference between "image burn in" and "image retention". At a glance they will look identical.

How Samsung has their "always on display" may make finding which you may have difficult. It's possible that the screen is still getting power even with the phone OFF depending on how the circuits and internal components draw power from the internal battery (read: OFF may be an extreme form of SLEEP where the absolute minimum of power is flowing through components if they used some more exotic designs for the sake of reliability).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
The nav icons move although it's much more subtle than the AOD, just enough to prevent their burning in. It's a little image retention, rest easy tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AlexanderBlaQ:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fabiowood:

Mine has already began to burn in on top right (status bar) where time & clock are displayed. Have it since 15/9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fozzydice:
Waze burns me

Waze has been the worst for screen burn for me. My S7 Edge had a very visible report icon that showed up on any white screen. I was really hoping this wouldn't be an issue for my Note 8, but unfortunately I began seeing it after just a couple of weeks. :(

I've started turning my screen off while driving, but it drives me nuts that I have to do that. It would be nice if the Waze developer would add a setting to prevent it... like changing the icon color periodically and moving it slightly (I'm ignorant about screen technology and whether that would even be helpful).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pieces of cake:
I've been using an all black navigation bar overlay, and I'm now noticing some heavy burn-in. I find this a bit surprising, as I was under the impression that AMOLED displays are turned OFF where true black is present. Anyone have any insight they can share?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sigilizer:
Yep, when a pixel is true black (#000000) the pixel is actually turned off. Using a black nav bar causes uneven screen wear. The nav icons will burn in at the same rate as the rest of the display, which the nav bar background itself burns in much slower, leading to uneven wear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
So true. Sk basically it's better to not have a black 0000 navbar or status bar thus results in a more even wear .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Now 1 month of use, no burn
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeathSentinels:
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your display, I do appreciate the very informative posts happening within this thread, I learned a lot of useful information I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I had really bad burn-in over time on my Pixel XL, with my Note 8 I used an adb command to hide the nav bars, that's avoided any burn-in issues I would have run into.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] haircut123:
**** I just updated my note 8 and when it was on that blue screen I noticed the status bar is burned in at the very top of the screen.wtf is this covered under warranty?And if they replace my screen will the phone still be waterproof?.I've heard of disasters happening when people are getting the screen replaced the replaced screen have light bleed along the edges

Btw my phone I got it on day of release sp around 3 months.i. gutted I have the screen brightness set at 40 percent or less .why is this happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Valdna:
3 months of heavy use and zero burn in. Exynos EU version

Lol...no. Mine's 20/20 and I have never had any burn-in on any of my Sammy phones/tablets/TVs either (6 devices in total over the last four years). Maybe luck of the draw, but definitely not an eyesight problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ukiya16:
This has happened to my newly bought note. When i got home the nav bar already was burned into the amoled. Thats just less than a day of getting the phone. Good thing its under 7 days no questions asked factory defect replacemnt
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
2 months, no burn in. I use the phone stock. No themes or modding. I've had burn in on my Pixel XL and HTC one m7. So I'm not blind lol. I dont see mine suffering any noticeable burn in that I can see while using the device. Maybe if I put it on a dark screen and stare at it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
My note 8 is now 2 months old, no burn in at any place
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Albeit no burn here either but I do use a solid black background which doesn't help.

I see alot of older Samsung devices on eBay , 9 out of 10 they have screen burn in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
No burn in on either my S8+ or my Note 8.

I use the auto hide Nav Bar on both.

And I check regularly with the AMOLED Burn In Fixer app. Never even a hint of burn in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I'll be testing my wife's note 8 later in the year. She has the fixed navbar and her brightness is auto. But she don't care. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] brockyneo:
Hi just a question how do you hide both as I can only hide the softkeys thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Just the navbar. But the status bar is hidden when I'm using the Samsung Browser. And browsing the internet is what I do most.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
I use Nova launcher to hide both and Nougat / Oreo Quick Settings is what I used on the stock launcher. It's called immersive mode for the apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Status bar for me. But what I'm more annoyed is the "white burn in" whatever you want to call it. Attached is picture. My kids use YouTube on it and when horizontal. The break from the video and the menus below, you can you tell burn in as set in. It's hard on the picture. But it's there. Lol. The top is lighter than below the red lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
That looks like a random Samsung AMOLED display panel out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Really? I swear it wasnt there before. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Using a gray background on a Samsung AMOLED panel shows the same thing.

Download display tester app from app store. Check it with a grey #8080 background test. Then swipe the screen right or left to increase decrease brightness to check.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
yea i did that. same thing. i never noticed i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Did you adjust the gray #8080 ? Take another pic perhaps. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
pic attached.. you can see two shades of grey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I think I see it now. It's that line going down the width of the screen?

Maybe do a warranty on it. But it might also be the screen saver.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
I am using dark Oreo substratum theme, does all black cause burn in? Meaning the white icons? See image below, will my theme/ icons cause burn in more than normal as it's all white and not coloured icons etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Probably will. Meaning the white icons against the black would "wear" out faster which in turn make it more noticeable.

I run a black solid background, but I rarely stay too long on the homescreen.

I don't think you have much to worry about. The status bar on mine switched color depending on what app I'm in. I believe this was a feature that was added to prevent the clock/battery etc burning in. My Note 4 status bar had burn in ever so slightly after one year of usage, I used a black solid background in that device also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Lol super paranoid now, put my status bar on auto hide and disabled AOD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
My navigation is auto hide but not status bar. What are you using to hide your status bar?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
My bad I meant nav bar not status bar ? I'm sure there's some none root hide status bar apps on the play store, used one before but they seem to be super buggy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I heard there is one app by someone called Zachary , it can hide the status bar without root using ADB command. But I haven't yet looked into it. I think it's called status ui tuner.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Bummed because I checked out the grey screen and definitely have some burn in on the nav bar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
You don't use auto hide?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
No because I hate how it works when my keyboard is up and I drive a lot so if I do use the phone from the mount I try to minimize key presses so I keep the nav bar.

I also hate how the invisible buttons for back and recents doesn't flip
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Sometimes it's just like temporary, hide your status bar and leave open a white screen for a while or lock your screen for a while and go back to the grey, chances are the nav bar burn was temporary

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:

I'm the guy who checks for updates every night ?I'm so impatient, literally the only reason I haven't rooted or flashed yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
So I found my solution to not liking auto hide.

I paid for the pro version of BxActions and never thought about it until I saw a Reddit post on the topic where the op mapped back to a single press of the bixby button, recents to a double press and home to a long press. I'm digging this setup quite a bit. Almost makes me wish I could turn off the nav bar completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
That actually sounds impressive ergonomics wise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
hm.. thats cover by warranty? I have local samsung service center not far from my house. my might pass by and ask.. i got the phone when it came out in September 07. maybe I should wait a big longer to request one if its possible.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
You can auto hide nav bar or status bar or both at the same time with system ui app from zacharee , it even has the option to choose which apps should hide them or not, give it a try, it has some more additional interesting tunning options, but you have to grant some permissions through ADB
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] maxram:
I also have this problem... It happened with my note 4 (4 years old now).

I got my note 8 last October 2017. My brightness is always low since I'm a bit photophobic. There wasn't a burn a month ago. Now I'm seeing that same line and it's distracting once you have an all white screen.

If my note 4 is any indication, soon the burn will affect graphics in games and movies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Wow oh why isn't there an invisible with or amoled black navbar available stock rom beats me.

When I was on Nougat, I used Wings Substratum to make the navbar be all black. Sure miss that.
