I am on aosip rom. How can I find display vendor?

Code from few posts before doesnt show info.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
Tried again?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
I did it almost every time I charged the phone overnight. Every tune it is removed in the morning but it returns also every time. So I returned my phone to the dealer for a replacement or repair...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
Warm colours ( reading mode or night mode) helps to avoid this issue? Someone knows?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
Tried it... Nope, and honestly why should I live with a screen, that's too warm?

I don't like it. It should be @ 6500K and nothing else.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
But you enabled night mode before of after the issue?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
I cleared the screen with the tool I posted above and enabled reading mode. Didn't help either...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 7okathehuman:
Yeah had the same experience with my keyboard it's all butn in the screen and i just noticed it but it's also visible in grey colors, i have been using the phone for 3 months now should i return it now or is it fixable?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
Guys, just install Kernel Adiutor and in Display settings set all three colors to value 240

That's it (after a few hours the problem will be gone, and'll never come back)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
Use the blue filter for some time, or use kcal on kernel adiutor as explained in the previous post
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawong:
nice will try it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
Worked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawong:
sorry it didnt worked. stilll have ghost image.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
I just notice now for using it for less than 2 months I have image retentiom in status bar the wifi clock and sim icon is there and noticable when in Gray background my mi a1 doesn't have this issue *sigh*
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
Have you checked the option in Kernel Adiutor to keep changes at boot?

Everytime you reboot the device the app has to apply the changes automatically, otherwise it will stay the same...

I've never had any screen retention in months, since I started using this method...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
Are you using dark theme?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
Automatic theme (changes between light/dark according to the wallpaper, which is different everyday)

Screen-brightness at 33-55% for the most part
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
I see this image retention started for me when i flash custom roms and always stays in dark theme and changing color calibiration/profile(Perfection) in KA but its not an excuse for this lcd panel for now i will stay in light themes and test your 240 RGB i will comback here after a week thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawong:
yap i have checked it , the ghost image didnt really noticeable like before.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
Yup, I agree about the fact that in these phones the LCD panel should be more efficient, but maybe this is one of the reasons for Xiaomi to justify budget prices, also...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] guanto96:
So it helped a bit
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
Just to update you:

I've got a new phone and it has NO image retention. So now I'm really satisfied with this model. Everyone who's able to return his device should do it and get a new one!

The new phone has no Tianma display, but it's from Shenchao.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
Is it the red one? I still have my warranty but too lazy to get it replace but i dont get image retention now after using it in full screen mode
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
What do you mean with red? The color of the phone?

I don't think this has anything to do with the LCD panel installed...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerome Matthew:
How's your new one holding up?

I got mine 3 days ago and it's a gold 64/4gb ram. I have a Shenchao panel as well. My friend has a Tianma panel on his black one but from what I've noticed, mine has a better refresh rate and the colors are more saturated and deeper. Is this possible?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
I must say I share your opinion! For me I cannot see any tearing and the black level is at least the same if not better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
Yeah because the red is new so im assuming lcd panel is new too and it just launched here in the philippines
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
In my opinion the manufacturer has a bad qc and therefore the panels could be bad everytime. Dd you check which panel you have in your phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] t0per666:
Tianma
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
Then if you have image retention problems, I would just return the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] barathrr96:
Hi

I have image retention today when I kept chrome on little high brightness.

I'm in RR ROM and enable smart pixels option it's better now.

Now should I replace my phone or continue? Suggestions please.

Is anybody facing this issue in great.

Can I reflash mi stock and take it to replace..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
My panel is awesome, it doesn't have such problem. I'm using a Redmi Note 5 Pro Global, a Note 5 designed for Europe. (i have Tianma too, but some research told me, that not every Tianma Display have bad quality.)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawong:
Not all ,my few previous mi device also has tianma panel and its superb except for boa panel on redmi note 4x where lots of stuck pixels in it.

But tianma panels on our note 5 pro/ai has a very bad quality .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
But how come I don't have any problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] troolie:
It's obviously a quality control issue, like with most things built in China. Xiaomi sold millions of RN5 but only "a few" (how many that is, your guess is as good as mine) exhibit this problem. You can be sure that they didn't change LCD manufacturer to improve quality but simply because the newer one is cheaper or tianma can't supply them with enough panels.

Just like yours, my RN5 global has been working flawlessly for over 6 months.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawong:
Some lucky user didnt have their rn5 pro/ai any problem , some other didnt noticed or aware of this issue , if you look into mi forum theres tonnes of them with this screen problem in there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
Yeah sounds right. Seems I can be glad that I don't have this issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ganapatya:
3 months of use. Burning-in statics icons (status bar, navigation controls), Tianma panel.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MikiGry:
This is wird. I"ve got a tianma panel. I used my phone for many months on MIUI and i didnt have image retention problem. However after installing PE i got statusbar icons burned it after a few days :/

Is MIUI using some tricks to get rid of image retention problems or there is a problem with custom roms ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
That would explain alot, since I use my phone in locked state and not rooted. I never had any problems yet myself.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cirra92:
I don't have it with Tianma panel nor does my friend, also with Tianma, both on AOSiP Oreo. You can use Kernel Adiutor or another kernel manager with colour control and set custom RGB values and you'll get rid of it, search through this thread, there are exact values posted as I don't remember that.

I remember seeing description in some ROM thread that it has "image retention fix" implemented but I guess that was just the same method of lowerung the RGB values so you don't need to do it.

Good thing is that this is LCD panel, so the pixels can return to their default state unlike OLED panels where you have permanent damage.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MikiGry:
[MENTION=5070317]Cirra92[/MENTION]

All values are now set to 240 as suggested. Lets see, if it works (i turns out that jerryrigeverything burn test is usefull :P )
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cirra92:
Yeah, it's useful if you don't need the screen :D

I guess it's just a bad luck so you got a less resistant screen. But using this method you are less likely to see the image retention/ghosting when it occurs. Anyway there are methods to revert those "stuck" pixels to their relaxed state, by either turning off the screen for a certain amount of time, or leaving the screen on with while background at high brightness.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] )(erxis:
This kind of tools will not help with the image retention issue because IPS panels are not subjected to pixel burn-in, the underlying process behind image retention in IPS panels and pixel burn-in in OLED panes are completely different. In first case we are dealing with "not top quality" LCL and the ghost images are reversible meaning that you can leave your phone with turned off screen and it will go to way it was before, in second case this is just a natural occurrence resulting from different lifespan of blue red and green diodes and it is irreversible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
Thank you for the explanation of the difference between burn-in and image retention and your emphasis that both effects are completly different! You are also right, that by leaving the screen off, can remove the image retention. But this doesn't help all the time and it takes a long time depending on the severity. The tool I describe works for both phenomena. For image retention by using the tool you are forcing the pixels to go from 100% to 0% and back which drastically reduces the time for removing the effect.

For OLED this is merely a poor attempt to hide the burn-in by trying to equally use all pixels and therefore making all pixels the same bad. So you are acutally destroying the pixels everywhere but at least evenly.

And one thing you are wrong, the pixel CAN stay locked in a state if the display quality is bad. Then you can wait how long you want and nothing will return good.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] )(erxis:
Well, If the problem is that severe that turning off the screen doesn't help in a sane amount of time then it is better to RMA the faulty unit. Also I don't have any IPS panels with image retention to check it, but theoretically a picture with solid black color(0.0.0) left on the screen for some time should do a good job removing the ghost image most likely better than continuous pixel switching. BTW, image retention problem is more widespread than people think, I've seen it on Sony Xperia XA, Asus ZenFone 2 Laser and LG(sorry I don't remember what model it was), usually people just don't notice it.

In all fairness, I didn't say that it is impossible for pixel to stay locked, usually this kind of flaw is called pixel(sub-pixel) defect or dead pixels that's why I didn't mention it before as it is something different from image retention. But thanks for pointing that out.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jackson_c:
So, is there a link between image retention with bootloader unlocking, custom recovery, root and / or custom room? Any possible influence?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MikiGry:
[MENTION=5034846]jackson_c[/MENTION]

Custom roms (AOSP/LOS ones for sure) seem to have higher RGB valus which makes or LQ panels burn in. However, that burn it isn"t pernament. The solution is to lower those values, although I"ve tried that and my burnt in statusbar is still there :/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jackson_c:
Even in MIUI Stock would be interesting to lower those value to prevent then?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MikiGry:
[MENTION=5034846]jackson_c[/MENTION]

I"ve been using my phone for months on stock MIUI before unlocking and installing PE and got 0 burn in problem, while on PE I saw it a few days after instalation, so don"t worry. Stock MIUI isn"t affected (i have tianma panel)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] w4y4n:
Greetings, i just got my whyred last week, and today i notice that my display become greyish when i use my phone under sunlight or at outdoor area, is that normal? Or my screen got this burn in or image retention problem? Sorry for my bad english, thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] N1ck474:
It's normal, Is called "Auto-Contrast" (or Dynamic Contrast), you can disable it in settings>Display>Contrast

It help you to see darker things (Like XDA Labs UI) better under direct sun light
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] w4y4n:
Thanks for your reply, i just a little paranoid about this burn in issue :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] onliner:
My phone has 1 week of usage, stock rom, locked bootloader, no mods, trash, etc etc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dmilz:
NO. Actually some roms have features that help reduce or prevent burn in
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I use my phone since 1 and a half month now, not having such issue. (Also on Stock with locked Bootloader)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] onliner:
I have tianma screen, that's the problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bolumstar:
I noticed it on the 2nd day and coming from Samsung Galaxy Note 4 made it more unbearable.

I made a YouTube video about it here to create awareness

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/1AwiibgxG4I[/YOUTUBE]

https://youtu.be/1AwiibgxG4I

At this time I had locked bootloader and I didn't even know my display manufacturer. I knew straight away that it was poor quality display and cutting corners to sell cheap by Xiaomi. Brand new Redmi Note 5 ai 4/64GB MIUI 9.6.3 Out of the box... Screen burn issues. It's most noticeable when you press the power button and it brings out the power menu with dark background. The annoying part is that I bought from Aliexpress all the from China ?? to Nigeria ?? - sending it back will cost a fortune and the seller after watching my video was claiming nothing was wrong with the phone.

They are temporary burn issues but Most annoying when you use nav bars and bright colors of icons or apps stay static for upto 5 mins.

To reduce it:

Use full screen gestures.

Avoid higher screen brightness for a long time.

Just try and watch one movie a day. It refreshes the screen and removes the temporary burn. It's just a temporary fix or work around.

So I found a way to bypass my 720hrs waiting time at about 200+ hours remaining unlocked bootloader flashed Redfox, Magisk etc...

I flashed Asus zenfone max 1 ported Rom only for me to see there was no burn issues at all in the same phone - it was unbelievable. Then I discovered another problem - my device was Goodix Fingerprint scanner so I couldn't enjoy the nice ROM as It didn't recognize Goodix FP.

Since then I've flashed over 15 different custom ROMs all of them have the burn issues at certain degrees but EVERY PORTED ROM OUTSIDE OF XIAOMI DOES NOT HAVE SCREEN BURN ISSUES. Asus zenfone max, One Plus 5T port, One Plus 6 port are the ones that I tried that didn't have the issue.

To my greatest surprise, Mokee doesn't have any form of screen burn issues as they built their kernel from scratch.

I kept wondering why can't Xiaomi solve this issue. The LCD is low quality but there is a way out but I don't think they care.

If screen burn issues gives you nightmare, use Mokee Rom.

Xiaomi should do more on Their quality check for mass production of products and listen more/ investigate customer complaints

I have my RN5 Global since July and I had no problem with display (tianma). But week ago I saw first appearance of image retention when I was playing game with white background. I was on global dev 8.12.6 when it happend. So if you dont have this problem it doesnt mean that you wont face this issue in future.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] N1ck474:
I have tianma too, zero problems..

I'm using this phone from 2/3 months..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I have Tianma too..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] binaryhelix:
Same here mate, though no screen burn in issue here yet, running LOS 15.1 for last week and a bit.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Venky:
Even i had the problem in my redmi note 5 pro, i saw this video it got fixed temporary.xiamoi should fix it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
The source to screen retention problem is Dark/Black theme.

Avoid dark theme and you are good to go.

I'm using this phone from last 6months and I haven't faced screen retention problem but two days back I applied black theme(phone contact settings WhatsApp) and I was using kiwi browser with night mode and I stayed on dark theme for two days then only i observed status bar icons were visible in recent screen along with gboard logo

So I just revert back to light theme and started to use my phone with auto brightness/full brightness and image retention problem got resolved (don't know if it appears again or not)

Display panel = Tianma TD4310

ROM Version = MIUI 10.0.6

Temporary solution is to avoid black/dark theme for a longer duration
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] onliner:
Strange then.

I've never used dark/black theme, and you can see my screen... crappy display, that's all.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jimwormold@gmail.com:
I also have had this problem since day one. It's especially noticeable if I reboot into twrp for example. If I have to have my screen on for long periods with high brightness ie using maps on long journeys, I can literally see Google maps image retained for a few days afterwards!

Has anyone tried replacing the panel with the £20 ones available from various Chinese websites?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Claudio Santos:
im sorry to bother but this only happens to OLED displays, i use my RN5 since it came out and have no issues.

please ppl with more than half a brain ignore this thread.

Ur brain is zero for sure. I'm also image retention problem because of **** tianma panel.

I have Tianma Panel too, ZERO problems. No need to get rude.

I too don't have problem until the last fifteen days. Before that 6 months works without any problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
Yeah, but that not have to happen for everyone. I mean I use automatic brightness and at home my phone is almost always in the very low part of brightness and that's more than enough for me. I don't need very high brightness.

After 7 months facing screen burn in in tianma

Have a look at the image at my carrier label a circle is stuck , its nothing but the bag in game pubg , i play pubg alot and now the bag has burned in to screen, wow Xiaomi what a quality control.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I still not had any problem like that after 2 months. And I think you can report this problem, but calm your words please, we're a friendly forum.

Do you not have any warranty for the phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sahilgyan25:
Yes i do have warranty but the burn in is not so dark that i can show to service centre guys , with time when it becomes darker I'll show and replace screen , my friend even after replacing screen had got burn in again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sahilgyan25:
Got screen replaced yesterday and boom burn in again

The fault is with tianma panel check your panel guys.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I have an Tianma too, but don't have any problems since almost 3 months.

Keep phone on full brightness, turn the screen of time to never and open a WhatsApp chat and leave it for 20 minutes exactly, Change your phone wallpaper to dark grey wallpaper then all your chat will be on homescreen
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
Why I should force that? I never use any phone on Full Brightness since it feels like my eyes burning. So that issue will never happen to me. And since I have no Mi Store in Berlin, I will not risk/test any display failures just for a test.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Just watch YouTube (1080P resolution) or any videos in full-screen for few minutes
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sahilgyan25:
That's the only way you will know about burn in issues clearly, but sooner or later you will start to see marks on screen of you play games for longer period , it's up to you to check or not, all my friend who have tianma are facing this issue.

Already replaced screen , got tianma , burning again ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I have watched alot youtube at 1080p already for longer and not had any issue, I even had long gaming periods already. Does really everyone have this issue with Tianma panel? And I mean I bought my phone almost 3 months ago and it's manufactur date is June 2018. (I use my phone almost 24/7 btw. And not having this issue)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
I mean to say. Watching videos will erase burn in marks :)

I didn't have any issues till 6months but after applying black theme for two days got burn in issue..

All devices are not affected by burn in
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
Ahhh okay :) And I had used a Black Theme myself for 3 weeks almost until I changed back to Stock cause of some Font issues and I not faced any Burn in. :)
