ok so I've tried out practically every new 2.3.3 ROM for the captivate and something that I've noticed is when i pull the notification bar down you can kind of see what you were doing like it was burned in(like when im texting you can still sort of see the keyboard) but after a few seconds it starts to fade away, is anyone else noticing this or am i just crazy?
crap just noticed i posted in general -.-
nope, you're crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IikM0jLbMUQ
you are not a crazy, mine too burns out. but seems we have just a very small ill with screens. after some time it will decay faster...
it's just AMOLED screen
Yet to see this. Iva had the phone since launch.

my post/answer is the very last post.
for tl;dr ppl:
It's not a burn-in, it's simply the OLEDs being too energized, so they glow a lil even if they are supposed to be showing "black".
in launcherpro options i set the home button to hide notifacation bar after taking back to homescreen. minimizes wear and tear up there...

I do the same.
I thought I had notification burn in too, especially when the xda app loads.
Its not actual burn in. Like someone else said, its residual energy. If I change my notification settings to hide the clock, and reboot, the "burn" changes too.

I got my N1 third-hand (would you believe it), and am simply blown away by it. I came over from a Nokia 5530, where the touch menu button would light up every few minutes. Is it possible to do this on the N1, at least while the screen is on?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 6 RC3, and I've ticked the option where the LED works as a breathing light, but it isn't. Please help me, I'm new to all this.
Umm yes go into settings, cyan settings, UI, track ball, and you can set the track ball color for each individual app. So for me texts blink red, missed call blue, Twitter green, etc.
No no I know that and I love it. But is it possible to make the trackball light up every couple of minutes for no reason? It's no biggie, but I think it would make a nice touch.
Send yourself a text message and never clear it. =P

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can have the track ball flash all the time for no reason. Did you check all the settings?
Edit: I thought I saw a setting for this but now I can't find it. Maybe it doesn't exist...?
There is a setting, but it doesn't seem to work. Then KIagain, I am getting poor battery life compared to my Nokia, so no breathing light is both a blessing and a curse

ive got the same problem, there is an option in in the ui settings that says always pulse, but it doesnt seem to work for some reason. does anyone know if there is a fix for this
There is a free app in the market called LED Disco that will flash your trackball any color you want(as long as the screen is timed out)
You pick the colors via settings. You can have it cycle thru all the colors as well.
It even kills itself when a notification comes in so the notification can take over the trackball color, and then turns itself back on when you clear the notification.

I just downloaded led disco, I am running it to see what happens to my battery life if it doesn't drain it horribly it'll be pretty cool to use on a regular basis
FWIW, whenever I forget to read emails and leave the LEF blinking, when I come back, the battery usage is much higher than the 0.5% I normally get and the battery usage screen claims the "display" has been hogging the power.
I've been using Revolt since 1.1 and have to say its been a fairly decent setup and the upgrades have been seamless, but I have a few concerns since 1.3 and things seem to be worse in 1.4.
1.3 issues
FC car home on startup
FC in Google Navigation when Speak Destination is selected (Fixed in 1.4)
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
1.4 issues
FC car home on startup
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
Ringtones\Notifications have double entries in selection menu (lost all my good ones from 1.3 too!)
Black background on text messages? (I dont mind it but its not consistent with any other menus that all have white)
I'd like to see these addressed or any suggestions if its just me with some of these problems. Overall this is THE rom to have for the phone, I have no problems with 3G delay or bloat/slowness like the factory rom and my phone never reboots or locks up.. just want to say keep up the good work and hope this helps make future roms better!
Hey thanks for the comments! Couple things, quick and easy fix for you for the voice mail button is to a) do as I do and long press
1 (hence the reason I didn't know there was a problem lol) or b) in the op of revolt is the Verizon visual voice mail app, download and install zip in cwm and you will be good to go with the button. Second, the fc on boot for car home is a battle. Lg has made it difficult on this one and so has google. It has been the death of me and I know majorpay has put in a load of work to get it running also, and everytime we think it is fixed it will work sometimes and not others. It is annoying I know but we are trying. The black and green mms is from a request and a port from my old theme for decrap. I am working on porting more apps as I go. The ringtones is coming from somewhere else. I had the same problem where I had downloaded and extracted a rom on my sdcard and it was pulling the doubles from there. Once I deleted that, no more doubles.
I am glad you like it! It is a work in progress and as time goes I will continue to try to make it better!

Thanks for the reply, honestly the FC on car home doesnt bother me nor do I use it so no worries... thanks for the VM tip! that will really fix my only real battle with the Rom at the moment the rest I can live with!
Keep up the good work

The lock screen is a known problem for the charging status with the aosp lockscreen. I had basically rewritten the smali code for the lock screen to mimic that of the nexus one, and it still did not work. There were complaints of not being able to tell what the charge status was without going into the about menu, so I recoded the charging xml to show battery level. While charging, the led will be green if over 10% and red if under. That way you know if it is charging or not.

Ok great, also to though the battery in the status bar does not change to a charge indicator like it used to. It just stays on the battery percentage.

I'd hate to hijack, but on a somewhat related note of Revolt 1.4 findings I noticed when going to attach multimedia to a text message, at least using the stock messaging app, the text is invisible. I'd noticed this back with the RevoBread theme as well. Not too much of an issue just a slight inconvenience but easy enough to navigate past. Thanks for the hard work on the ROM mt!

If you click and drag you can see what the option is without clicking it. Same thing for when you type a name into the top bar to add who you want to send a message to. I use it as a temp fix until mt fixes it.
Today I used my phone on landscape mode. I noticed that there is bluish bright color where status bar usually is.
It is visible at white, grey, and blue backgrounds. I start using custom launcher now to hide status bar.
Do you know how can I fix like stuck pixel solving applications?

Just by hiding the status bar and switching between 12/24 hour clocks will help. Also use landscape mode more often. It should clear up. Try to use dark colored backgrounds/themes too. Blue is the first color to cause problems with amoled.
Also lower your screen timeout time to 15 or 30 seconds to reduce wasted screen time while also saving some battery. But hiding your dock amd status bar with your launcher will help go a long way too. I use Nova and set them both to hide with finger gestures making it easy
This will only prevent further damage though. Anything to fix current damage?
Also I tried nova to hide, but bar comes back every time I use an application. So it hides only on desktop. How to hide always? I want to be on full screen always.

All this accomplishes is to even the burn out - similar to grinding a screen with sand paper/grit to "buff out a scratch."

Actually you may be right. I am not sure but it might me more visible now. It did not fix at all.
Any suggestion to hide status bar always? Also is there any fix?
I don't want to return back the phone because:
1. I have to unroot and change CF-Root kernel.
2. I have to go back to GB.
Then, I can go to where I bought this. And I will need to wait maybe 1 month to get replacement or fix.
If I cannot fix this by myself, I will go to shop just before warranty ends which means 1.5 years later. It is not visible on photo/games/other colored backgrounds.
If no fix, I just want to hide status bar even if any application is open.
No you can't fix the damage that has already been done.
From another thread were I posted....
Use launchers that hide the notification bar on home screens.
Don't use apps that don't have the option to hide the notification bar.
Use full screen browsing with browsers such as Opera Mobile
And don't leave static images on the phone for extended periods of time.
And for the love of god don't use a cradle or docking station because that will destroy your screen! Think about it? Leaving your phone on all day at work in its docking station showing the time and weather. What do you think is going to happen to that screen?
I cannot believe you just made me notice this! Damn that's annoying me now! Blueish tint.

I always had black status bar. I don't know how it happened. Now, I start using StatusBar+ . I will cycle through Red Green Blue(maybe no blue for a while) for color of status bar. Also icon colors will be cycled as well.
Sorry I made notice you the defect. I won't buy Samsung phone anymore. HTC Desire was better First slight horizontal lines/tint and now this burn in. I say it is low quality.

Only way is to get screen replaced. I heard other user state Samsung will do this service for you as long as your phone is under warranty but you must send it in to them.
Or pay for shop to replace screen for you.

That doesn't look like burn in at all to me. Isn't that just stuff "behind" your lock screen getting blurred out so it can't be read?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.
I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.
I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!

Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.

Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.
I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout

Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar
Samsung makes these awesome panels but makes its almost impossible to remove the static elements opening us up to burn in. Toss us a bone Samsung or use a different display tech!

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.
the usual adb command don't work
Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing
the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.
please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.

Yes of course! like I mentioned before I always use my apps in immersive mode but for once I own a device that's not rooted yet and therefore hasn't a dozen of custom roms with the ability to tweak settings. And because the usual adb commands do nothing I remembered that app cloner had a bunch a display settings which you can mess with. And viola! It has an option to flag apps as immersive mode apps and it actually works! It seems to use a different hook/way to force apps into immersive mode and the result is just beautiful!!! Now you can really enjoy the Display of the S10.
Let me tell ya, after using apps in immersive mode for a hot minute and going back to the stock way sammy intended for us to use the S10, I have to say sammy did only a half hearted job on this. Yeah hardware side is nice but the software side is lacking and not utilizing the hardware. It seems like they didn't now any better and settled on a huge arse statusbar. Maybe because this isn't iOS where developers can develop for specific hardware not like on android.
The Downside? some elements do get in the way and require some kind of a workaround. In this case I settled on using one handed mode which brings the top half part of the screen down revealing those blocked elements by the punch hole. This works so far very good and I'm already used to it. Some elements peak out behind the punch hole so you already know there is something, in this case you can still touch that area because even the punch hole has a digitizer in that area.
S10+amoled theme+Substratum black theme+apps in immersive mode= In my opinion the best way to use this device and forget/never notice punch hole ever.
This should be a bigger deal and more people should talk about this. xda should cover this on the Frontpage.
