[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] aka120:
I set full immersive mode globally using adb, AOD is off, screen brightness on auto but kept below 50% as much as possible, screen timeout is set to 1 minute. I don't play games more than 10-15 mins usually and I try to move 100% of whatever is being displayed on the screen after 30 seconds to 1 minute (even if I have to turn the screen off and back on to accomplish that).

A bit much, I know. But I had a Galaxy S4 back in the day using the screen very moderately, and within 3 months it had terrible blue burn in from the status bar and icons on the home screen Im guessing...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Taking no steps. There's no need whatsoever. People are still using Galaxy S3, S4, S5 devices with no burn in.

This whole burn in thing is taken way out of proportion.

If you get burn in so quickly, you should contact Samsung to get it repaired under warranty, because it's not normal for it to happen that quickly.

I had my S7E on

100%

brightness 24/7 for over a year, with AOD, everything.....and saw not a single sign of burn in.

My S8+ had no burn in after a year of usage with AOD always on, with high brightness. There's literally no need to take any preventative steps. That's just overkill.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
I use my device as I see fit. Not taking much in preventative for burn. More towards batt life. I have never really burned any device. My wife's s5 had Facebook burned in pretty good. I used aod for several hours at night. But it's been great on every Sammy device I ever owned

Way out of proportion. I mean any static image can and will eventually burn to a oled. But I'm sure I'll have a new device before it ever gets as bad as a several year old s3 s4
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ivanhoek:
Well, first thing I'm doing is NOT using a dark theme. (With totally black portions). I found that using such a theme will create uneven screen wear (burn in) , because there's portions of the screen that just wont be affected, like for example think the YouTube app's video portion.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Brokk:
Everything I can...

This is my third Samsung with AMOLED. The first was a Note 2. I started playing a geo-location game that needed to have the screen on to get credit for moving around. So it ran for hours each day. Annoyingly it has a bright green box in the upper right (it's a button you use all the time), and it got burned into my display within a few months. When I got my next phone (Note 4), I took every precaution. I ran an app every night, all night long that cycles through all the colors, full screen, to aid in preventing it. I tried to mostly use my geo-location game at night with the screen brightness turned almost all the way down. It helped a lot. I went over 2 years before screen burn in started appearing. I think I made a mistake with the overnight app. I had the brightness turned way way down when perhaps I should have turned it up instead. I changed that and the burn in faded out for a few more months, but I would notice it whenever I used the game outside during the day (hiking and such), because I had to turn the brightness up to see the screen. Now it no longer fades and is every present on my screen. The phone is almost 3 years of use at this point though.

My last step I have been doing is using one-handed mode to change where that button shows up on the screen. I figure if I can prevent it from sitting in the same place all the time, it will go a long way to preventing the burn in.

Feedback from many different viewpoints is good. However it sounds like some people are saying 'screen burn in is no big deal. I've never had it'. Just because it hasn't been a problem for you, doesn't mean it's not real for other people or that's it's blown out of proportion. We all use our phones differently.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Screen burn in in less than 2 weeks from an always moving display (AOD)? Sound fishy.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] room511:
Agreed.

It is what it is though.

Haven't turned it on once with my new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
I think that for the typical phone user, the only place burn-in is likely to be a significant issue is on the status bar, and maybe the nav bar. The S9 is my first AMOLED phone with soft buttons instead of Samsung's capacitive buttons, but the only place I've ever noticed any burn in before is on the status bar, and really, who cares about that?

If, OTOH, you frequently keep the screen on for long periods using an app with fixed in place, high-contrast items, there's probably not a lot you can do beyond reducing screen brightness. If the app allows any customization of those items, like changing colors, try to make them less bright.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gabriellovesmusic:
Well.. having owned a few devices with AMOLED/OLED displays(S2, S3, S6, S8+, S9+), all those devices had burn ins, some worse than others.

Since the S8+, I made a habit to not max out the brightness(I'd go 100% manual on all my previous devices before S8+), l left it on auto brightness, and if I figure that it had gone too bright, I'd move the slider back to 40~50%. And also hide the navigation bar. While web browsing, I hide the status bar too. Throughout the one year of using S8+, I'm happy with how it was holding up. And continued with these habits on my current S9+. Won't say that those are compromises to the experience, if anything it's even better, with hiding the navigation bar and status, it gives it more immersive experience while protecting the display.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] .wojtek:
OK,

So I like to tinker with custom ROMs (Resurrection remix) and having to decrypt the device each time is kinda annoying so I was thinking about decrypting my device. I'm aware I will lose data (adb pull + adb push should solve the issue) with fastboot format. What's not clear to me if, after running the format, I'll have to flash the ROM again. In theory format should wipe everything from the partitions (I assume system/data/internal) so the ROM flash would be required, but neither of the guides I read they mentioned it. And good reading about the process?

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kayyappan:
I would not suggest doing anything on the ROM at present. My other phones Asus Zenphone 3 (ZE552KL) untouched and on stock Oreo 8.0.0 and a Moto G3 - XT1550 (Osprey) again on stock behave almost similar. At times they are worse off than X2. But all work well while out on road and so my opinion is it is something to do with transmitted signal power strength depending on the nw provider. So X2 is not alone in this mess to my understanding.

I am using 02/04 build clean install including wipe of internal storage as I came from 19s. But I have tested 19s, 26s/28s modems on your official 15.1 with VoLTE working the same way. However binary compare of 26s and 28s modem files did not yield any difference anyway - seems bit by bit same one used on both 26s and 28s.

I went straight for your 15.1 from Lineage OS download. Did not try any that you have posted on OP.

Your first statement "Why high freq?" - A very valid question to me as well as lower freq gives a wider coverage compared to higher one.

Edit: Please read my first line as "I would not suggest doing anything on the ROM at present in case you have changed certain things on your 02/04 build compared to what has been posted in the first post." - Sorry I missed the latter portion completely.

Heyyo, no one tested it on x2 but it works perfectly on zl1 which means we just need to fix it properly on x2 is all as that hack could potentially fail down the road if other changes get merged and then we would be back to the same situation we are in.

LD right meow is a bit of a mess on Oreo anyways tbh. Still needs refinement but we are getting a lot closer.

Is it possible to change the phone's name in the properties to the correct X829 instead of X820?
[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, it detects which firmware you are running. You can either modify the build.prop (there's guides on how to do it easily with root or ADB methods without root) to change LEX820 to LEX829....

Or you can run firmware x829 20s in my first post. That's what I'm using without issue on my x829.

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ThE_MarD:
Glad to hear it! Enjoy!

Double tap to wake is not supported on the touchscreen firmware for the Le Max 2... Even if we tried to enable it via our device settings the command would never be read by the touchscreen as its firmware doesn't recognize the command.

The only way double tap to wake could be implemented on the Le Max 2 is if we never put the display to sleep and left it on all the time... Which would murder battery life :crying:

Heyyo, yep! That is correct. I'm not 100% sure if it'll switch to LEX829 until you dirty flash or get the next update though as it might need to detect it during ROM install.

Heyyo, glad you like the ROM! :)

Can you please provide which version date you are on and if it is official or unofficial? Is it only certain apps or certain notification colors?

That is super weird yeah, but unfortunately I can't reannly help diagnose VoLTE issues sorry, as Canada is anti-BYOD so I may never get to try it with my imported Le Max 2... Thank you for posting a potential solution for those that really require it. :good:

With the help of Paul Keith, the last official build of LineageOS did get two APN updates for Jio, but I can't test it and I can't remember if I did a repo sync and included it in the last unofficial update...

Another solution I've heard is to use the official Jio app for VoLTE, but I can't confirm this as I can't test it...

Ah sorry I must have missed this post... Any chance you can get logcat? I'll add this also to the known bugs as I currently don't own a USB Type-C to Type-C so I can't test it myself... I'll also see if there's maybe a certain kernel commit or something we need.

By chance did you try to toggle the focus fix? It should be under Settings > System > Camera Settings

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] origin_de:
I'm on business travel this week. Will try logcat on weekend.

I would do logcat:

1) switched on x820, plug in power supply.

2) switched off x820, plug in power supply, then boot.

3) reboot x820, plug in power supply during that.

Does that make sense for you?

BTW: observation is,

a) switched off phone, plug in power supply, display turns grey and shows light grey battery sign in the middle of the screen. To boot I need to push and hold the power button until it vibrates two times and then boots.

b) If I choose to reboot from a switched on x820, plug in power supply, it recognizes the power supply during boot, after I entered the "decryption" key.

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ph03n!x:
Don't worry about this issue - there are no VoLTE issues with this ROM at all - it was working perfectly all this while, and that too natively, without the Jio app. I'm pretty sure I broke something when I flashed different modems between 19s and 466D - and figured that others who report inconsistent performance with Jio 4G and VoLTE might have been flashing different modems too.. That's why shared my experience, maybe it'll help fix someone's problem...

Again, there is absolutely no issues (never been one) with this ROM and Jio network at all. It works great!!

Hi [MENTION=6235294]ThE_MarD[/MENTION],

I'm just wondering why you removed the focus fix kernel. Kernel has been removed? 15.1 official and unofficial cameras don't work properly without it on my device. edit: just discovered it has been integrated into settings under System > Camera Settings. Weirdly enough this doesn't show up if you search the options though.

I'd also appreciate an edit of the main post explaining the difference between the official and unofficial build. I can't be the only one who doesn't get that.

And while we're at it: what's the status of lineageOS 16? Is that one still in beta? Or is it viable as a daily driver?

Also, did you ever make any progress about the lineageOS WhatsApp bug I reported with log cat? It still persists.

I may ask many questions, but please be sure that I really appreciate the massive amount of work you're putting into this ROM. It's been my dd for over a year now. You're doing fantastic work here! =)

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ThE_MarD:
Ah glad you figured it out, well done :good:

I also have it mentioned in the FAQ in case others need to know

I'm unsure how to make it searchable, but I'll try to research it or ask Tortel as he created the device settings.

Sure I can do that. Pretty much unofficial is to test upcoming changes before they get reviewed or merged into official.

It is most definitely still beta but is viable as daily driver though since I use it on my X2 and it is my only phone hehe, albeit I do have backups in case of emergencies.

I do have the current bugs noted on it as it has fixes but also different bugs compared to LineageOS 15.1

Ah sorry about that, I have been looking into it more. moto999999 recommends reverting the sdv22 changes as it fixed it for AOSiP, so I may do the same thing and see if that also solves it for LineageOS. I can include it in the next unofficial Build of LineageOS 15.1.

Thanks bud! Yeah I try my best to improve things, albeit it's not always so easy heh.

Ah ok cool! Glad it works fine meow! :good:

Hi

Was wondering if you could help me ? After last week's update my phone worked fine till Tuesday. Than kept crashing and switching off. Though it was the battery to charged it up. It still carried on doing the same . Then finally stopped crashing and switching off and stopped booting. I tried putting it on recovery mode. But when i it booting in recovery mode it kept going on loop on recovery mode and restarting . Then finally died . When I charged it and switched it on it boots up and goes into black screen with blue led light flashing. I've tried qfil saw it successful but when I switch on it boots up again and gives a black screen with blue led light flashing. Can some one help or is it completely dead ?

Thanks
