Is your Super AMOLED screen still working properly ?

hi guys,
Is your Super AMOLED screen still working properly ?
how long did you own your phone ?

Have my phone for 8 or 9 months, still going strong, nothing funny and no burn-in.
I use the screen mostly at low brightness.
I have the idea that JVH/2.3.3 has lower brightness, or it is just the brighter days in summer. But it is not burn in as there is no pattern.

Works perfect here.. No issue at all after 8 months. ther eis 24 months warranty so.. got some time for it to get crap and turn it in if it does. =)

All good here. 11 months, no burn in, no colour problems. Generally use lowest brightness settings. Perhaps flashing roms/themes on a weeklyish basis, helps prevent burn in.

Of course, why do you ask?
As far as burn-in (burn-out) if I display a solid blue screen I can see where the AM/PM used to be (before I turned the clock to 24hr) and some small 'smudges' where the other status icons are. Not a big deal.
Different themes would probably help, especially if there was less blue in the status icons (green or orange instead of white) since it burns out faster.

Time burnt in .....bought it like that

status bar and time burnt in when displaying on white screen.. bought used though.. also keyboard is shown very lightly.. but doesnt bother me much though..

I've had mine for 10 months and so far no burn in.
I'm interested to know though, what causes the burn in's?

I've had mine for about 10 months, medium brightness most of times, sometimes max brightness.
Clock is a little burned in screen and sometimes I can see the swype keyboard keys on very white and bright backgrounds.

about ±7 months already...still nothing weird ... still no screen burn in detected.. and nothing unusual...
when stay in house/office = lowest brightness... when outside/driving = maximum brightness..

I don't use brightness. Screen is practically brand new. Screen protector since day 1
Fasty Captivate

I think the app, NoLED causes burn ins.

Used for about an year now. Mainly auto-brightness all the time. Mostly portrait mode. With white display occasionally I may see taskbar contour on the top. Not seen when watching videos in landscape mode.5 star for this display after heavy use.

The time is burning in on mine, visible barely only with blue screen. 5 months.

Unlikely. The notifications appear all over the place and move frequently specifically to prevent burnin

13 months
auto- brightness
looks completely fine to me

Having my SGS for 7 months now,no reported burn in or screen problems.! The phone is a beast.

1 year now,no problems at all

How long do you thing that Amoled screen will last ?

i have mine just over a year now and like others I have burn-in where the notification bar is but nothing else....
Does anybody know if the warranty would cover the burn-in??

13 months, still working great.

Black screen doesn't turn off pixels

Hi everyone, as you should know the Asus Zenwatch 3 has an AMOLED display. From my understanding this should mean when displaying the colour black, the pixels should be turned off completely (like on my S7 Edge).
I was looking at my watch in a pitch black room with an ambient watch face displaying a black background and it appeared slightly reddish. Compared with my LG G Watch R sporting the exact same watch face it was clear the LG had the black pixels turned off but not on my Zenwatch 3.
I've attached a couple of pictures taken with my phone of the Zenwatch 3 in a pitch black room, one with normal shutter speed and the other with a 2 second shutter speed. Evidently the 2 second shutter speed shows that the display is in fact not turning off the pixels. The pics were taken when the watch was charging and in ambient mode with a watch face set to true black only.
Can anyone else confirm that this is the case and maybe a reason why? I'm worried that battery life may be affected by this with always on display enabled.
Lastly on a side note, are the black lines that aren't illuminated something to worry about?

Mine is the same, including a similar set of dark lines. I've seen others on Reddit report identical concerns.

Noticed this too, thought I was crazy lol...kinda waste of an AMOLED screen.

Hmmm ok at least I'm not the only one. Hopefully Asus is able to change it in a future update.

Yeah it is weird, black watch faces aren't truly black. I think they did it so watch faces can blend into the color scheme of the watch, if you notice the color overlay on the app launcher

That's because of auto Brightness. Turn it off. This impacts battery life. I observed this on very first day after the purchase. Using manual Brightness since then.

I just tried disabling Auto Brightness but the red tinge of the black background still exists.

It doesn't happen with me. If I turn off auto Brightness the blacks go complete black. Do you have live display turned on your phones? If so try disabling it. May be this setting depends on your phone. All I can confirm is if I turned auto Brightness off amoled works perfectly.

Not sure what you mean by live display but I just have a stock S7 Edge. I prefer keeping the auto brightness on for my watch so I guess I'll have to live with it.

Live display is when some ROMs allow the screen to have a tint at night time so the blue light from the screen won't affect your eyes at night

Me too have similar display and black line like that.
Glad I'm not the only one with this condition.

I also have those black lines, was about to get a replacement but since I'm not the only one and it doesn't affect overall performance or aesthetics its fine.

Yeah I have also black lines and screen is not completely dark with totally black watch faces

Turning off the auto brightness is not a solution. Its a pain if you had to adjust the brightness all the time

Do I need to take any precautions with the AMOLED screen?

So last time I used an AMOLED screen there were some possible issues with burn in. In a few of the blue light filters I've used, I've also noticed some fine print about AMOLED screens.
Are there some precautions that need to be taken? have they generally speaking improved so these aren't issues anymore?

If you want to use the phone as a desk clock or apply pixel filter to reduce battery usage, remember that they should move. This way i burned screen with digits on my old Galaxy S2.

Granted I don't use the onscreen buttons, but I haven't experienced any burn in for the last 4 months.

GALAXY A30 Screen brightness problem

Hi everyone, I bought a Galaxy A30 a few months ago, and I have noticed after playing Call of Duty that when playing the screen lowers automatically its bright from one moment to another. At first I tought it was some game related bug, because when lowering the notificacions panel the screen bright still marks the top level. After a few days I noticed this started to happen in another apps like instagram, suddenly the screen lowers like 30% of it brightness and I try to move the brightness bar to a lower level and go back to full to see it it goes back to normal, but even with the bar at full it stays like that, darker, with a very clear difference from the full bright of five minutes ago. I know there is an option for auto brightening wich was always disabled, and if it was caused by that option, the brightness bar should also lower and not staying at the top as it does now.
The thing is that whenever this happen, I get used slowly to the new amount of bright and cannot tell if it goes back to normal or WHEN it goes back to normal. If it does, its pretty gradually because I dont notice it. There seem to be nothing in common between the cases, this doesn't happen when charging or something like that, happens anytime..
Does anyone knows what can be causing this?

Upper half of my screen is brighter than lower half.

I noticed a few weeks ago that the upper half of the screen on my Galaxy S10 is brighter than the rest. I attached an image of how it looks like. I never dropped my phone and had the same problem on my Galaxy S8. I dont use adaptive brightness and it looks like this on all levels of brightness. It's especially noticable on white. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Is there a fix to this?

If it's visible on a screenshot it should not be a display issue. Did you tried the save mode?
