[Q] how to prevent burn in? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there, is there any tips for preventing the screen burn in for our SIII Mini? i see in the samsung shop some of the display is already got burn in on the status bar, is there any tips? right now im using Benzrom v4.1.

Dont always use full brightness, either half way or down full should be fine.

Try this

and i want to ask another question, is it better to have the full black status bar (the pixel turned off like on the benzrom v4.1) or the original one(grayish status bar) to prevent the burn in? or anyone can help me to have a transparent status bar or hide the status bar? any help will be very appreciated :good:

Most launchers such as apex let you hide your status bar in apex settings/home screen then scroll to the bottom.

So i assume youre saying that black status bar like in the benzrom is saver than the grayish one like in the sammy official rom?

sorry to post in this old thread again, but i've been using benzrom v6 with the black status bar, but NOW i really do notice my status bar burn in is getting worse, now im getting really annoyed and confused.. :crying: any advice ??? is the black status bar the culprit for my getting worse status bar,, because when im using the stock rom i dont notice any burn in but just scared and want to prevent the screen from burn in . but now after using this black status bar i do notice it has the one i fear , BURN IN :crying:

do you know "display tester" app? you can buy pro of that app to fix burn in.. fix burn in with noise... try all.. but THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK..

As far as I know screen burn is unavoidable with the notification bar shining bright white. Best way to minimize it's effects are:
- screen brightness turned down
- downloading Dolphin HD browser and using full screen mode

If its really bad screen burn contact HTC to see what can be done regarding a replacement tomorrow.
To prevent the burn-in you should use a dark notification bar mod, maybe the HTC Sense notification bar.
With black color no pixel gets switched on and the light of the pixels doesn't get consumed (as much as with a white bar).
Launcher pro has an option to hide the notification bar. You can find it on the market.
I use ADW launcher which gives me the option to hide the notifications bar, and use the Dolphin HD browser in full screen mode.
If you want the notifications bar then just root and install a dark/black bar.

[Q] [Req] hidden Status Bar

Hey all you talented developers,...
as our SAMOLED Displays suffer from degradation of the organic LED when constantly emmiting bright white or blue,
some of us found here the need of a hideable status bar.
I searched all the internet and all of this forum but couldnĀ“t find such an app.
Is there any app or widget possible which can hide or un-hide the status bar?
Or is there any adb code that hide it and onther adb code that un-hides it??
Any help would be highly welcome.
Somehow ist should be possible.... at least we are on android
greetz the bapsack
Edit:
P.S.
1. as far as I know no launcher hides the statusbar permanently
2. even though some (!) apps might support fullscreen the status bar is still there in most apps
Both LauncherPro and Zeam have hideable status bars. See market.
the status bar is only hidden in the launcher
if you open any app e.g. internet or navigation the status bar is back in its place
Try dolphin browser, it has full screen I think

I wonder if adding the notitlebar attribute in the framework manifest would work
No clue though, will try when have time or someone else could
Degradation? I don't think so.
Anu source?
I think the display only suffers from a minor burn-in problem, where the burn in disappears after somewhile.
well take this pic of a blank white screen aas a proof
you can still see the status bar as a shadow

ADW.Launcher has a hidable status bar. You just flick your finger UP, the status bar hides. Flick it UP again, it returns.
PS : I can fit in 5 rows of icons easily.

the aim is to hide the freakin status bar permanently
e.g.: even when navigating, web-browsing or running any other app
This adw.Launcher can NOT do!
Just start any app and zack, back is the statusbar no matter what launcher u use ADW.Launcher, Lauchner.Pro or Zeam
I have status bar burn in, viewable on the screen test blue background.
5 months, low brightness, status bar hidden most of the time using launcher pro.
Pretty sad really

That's not even a Galaxy S hah, and no burn in here with launcher pro 99% of it's life. I'm not sure how this is viewed, but if someone without a status bar is getting the same thing, it's seems a bit irrelevant in general to blame the status bar?
@bapsack
I accidently thanked you for that post hah wanted to quote it, anyways the reason for that is because it's not possible to replace that yet obviously, nothing integrates all the dynamic info it displays. It's required sorry bud!

tell me how to do and I will check
My bet is:
-make your notification bar 0-20% black
-set 50%/50%/20% R/G/B color for notification bar font and make icons with blurred edges in the same color
NO way you will get a burn.
Thnak you MACHETE.

How to keep a black notification bar

Hi all,
Any mod out there that will keep my top notification bar black? Quite annoying when it's see through on home screen then black on my app drawer..
There used to be a mod somewhere in the themes section. You can also change launchers which will make it black.
