Can anyone tell me if using a Night clock (where the display of the time is on all night whilst the phone is charging) will cause any screen problems? I read somewhere about Screen burn. I have made the display as dim as possible.
Thank you.
Screen burn happens only in CRT and earlier versions plasma displays. I don't think LCD and LED has this effect.

Yes it will cause burn-in issue. We can't do anything to prevent it. If you notice, your status bar is also giving this problem.
I thought screen burn was eradicated.. After reading this it was helpful..

Have a look at Alarm Clock Plus from the market. It's free and has a screen saver night mode, been using it for years, good and reliable app.

I use the Desk clock function every night with no issues after 5 months. In settings I have shortcuts hidden, status bar hidden and brightness turned to lowest setting. The displayed clock actually moves around screen every few minutes so very much doubt you will get burn in from this. Mine shows no hint of it.

I just received my nexus and I thought the battery was dead cause it showed the battery icon briefly. I left it charging for an hour and nothing. I tried the flashlight trick on the screen and I could see the welcome screen. I disable the automatic dimming feature and now my screen turns on. It must be a software issue on the sensor. I don't know yet.
So you shine a flashlight at the ambient light sensor and it turns the screen back up? Like the sensitivity of the sensor is too low? I'll have to make a mental note of this for when mine finally comes in.
Yes if you can't see the screen. If it still doesn't work, shine the light on the screen and you should be able to see the welcome screen. I don't know if you ever had your laptop LCD inverter burn out?
Thanks for this post. I had the exact same problem. I struggled to get up and running, but figure it out with the help of my GNex.

Thanks for the info.
I had this problem and I'm getting mine replaced. This is almost certainly not a software issue, else everybody would be having it (and if it were a misconfiguration, it would go away with a flash of the factory rom).

Do a search for light sensor, and you'll find other people with this problem.

True, I can't even see youtube in landscape mode cause the screen will shutoff. I have to have it in portrait mode.
Sounds more like a hardware problem. A light should DIM the screen, not brighten it. The sensor is reversed.

So when you walk outside to the bright sun, you would want your tablet's brightness to be at the lowest setting? I doubt it
Hey on my Xperia Z stock rom nothing flashed, when it is in standby (screen off) randomly the screen glows and does not stop, like the screen is still off but it's like the back light has come on? is this normal? seems to be a power wasting thing to me. unless i look at it from a slight angel (during the day) i can not actually tell it's on, i'm assuming this is why my screen is using 60+% of my battery is there a fix for this?
Are you using any power saving mode?

Stamina mode.
I have the exact same thing happen, and it is definitely a pain as like you say you can only notice it when looking at an angle, and as I have a flip case on mine I only notice while charging. It is just a case of pressing the power button twice to turn off but that is obviously only when you notice it's doing it! lol
I use stamina mode on mine (which is great) but not sure if this is anything to do with the backlight being left on as it only does it sometimes?
I had this issue when i first got my phone ,and not anymore.Not sure how it solved cause i did lot of factory reset and flashing firmwares.
Are you using light flow or any third party apps?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
I get this too. I get it when it's locked and it comes back on. Also when I unlock the screen sometimes this happens and I have to turn the screen off and on again to fix it.
Happening here also but not often. I thought it was low battery mode but happens when it's disabled as well.

No i'm not using any third party light apps, seems like this may be an actual bug if multiple people are experiencing it
I have only done one reset/repair to fix the LED notification light bug.
Hope this helps
I know how to fix this. I have an xperia z1 so im not sure if my problem is the same but i use my phone as an alarm so i notice at night the screen is glowing while its standby. If you go to settings or maybe you have it in quick settings go to brightness and deactivate "adapt to lighting conditions" then it should be a black screen woth no glow in standby mode
My screen flickers sometimes in the power saver mode n also when my brightness is set to about less than 40%. Should I be worried or it can be fixed in the software update? Anyone else with the same problem?

Can you check for me if changing to another keyboard solves this flicker? I too noticed this ever so slight flicker but only when using stock keyboard if I change over to Swiftkey then it doesn't happen for me. It looks like its the screen flickering but in actual fact it seems to be just the keyboard area of the screen.
Report back if it fixes the issue for you. If it does then obviously this is software and we needn't worry.
sprint htc one user here. stock not rooted.
ive seen this obvious abrupt dimming since day one (had since launch). i use swiftkey only and no other keyboard.
when the screen is not in use i still see the screen dim. it dims abruptly as opposed to a gradual dim. i chalked it up to software that may be included in an update.
does NOT do it ALL the time though....
Well I tried with SwiftKey it didn't work. It's not just the keyboard are that flickers. It's the whole screen like trying to adjust to a particular brightness. If the brightness is set to about 70% there is no flicker

I don't know if others are having the same problem but I have a stock phone not rooted and active notifications enabled
Every time I place my phone upside down and then a few seconds later turn it over it will show the time..no problem...everytime
On the other hand if I leave my phone aside faced up ..after the screen goes black I would say 8 times out of 10 the clock shows up when I pick up the phone.. I'm assuming the sensors know that the phone has been picked up a d activate the clock display....sometimes the screen remains black even after picking it up and giving it a gentle or hard shake.....bug ?

I too am experiencing this especially when there are no notifications which seems like a waste to me.
Can you guys check your sensors? Maybe something's broken. I'm having sensor issues myself, and have noticed inconsistent notification behavior as well.

I don't turn my phone upside down. But just sitting there face up it it completely and randomly light up the notifications

That's normal behavior.
There is a vertical green line near the right side of my screen. I don't know how it got there. I was listening to music and I turned the screen on and its there.
I'm on lightrom 5.1.1. I flashed it the other day and no problems. I would post a screenshot, but it doesn't show in them for some reason.
If it doesn't show in screenshots, that usually means its hardware as only software issues would show in a screenshot. Can it be seen during boot on the coloured parts?
Yes it can.
It's weird because when I turn my screen off, its the last thing to go off after black screen.

Definitely sounds hardware. I'd return tonarock and if its still present, which I assume it will be, RMA

On the boot animation but not showing up in screenshots?
If it doesn't show up in screen shots, then it's hardware related. Screenshots take a picture of what you see software-wise. If your display completely dies, your phone would probably still turn on and allow you to do things if there were only a way to interact with it. Seeing that the green bar is always present, except in screenshots, it's hardware related. I'd RMA it or return it, depending on when you got it. First though, flash back to stock everything. They might blame you for the hardware fault. Lol.
