Is it just me who feels like the display is rapidly getting warm and warm (whites getting yellow), i don't really understand what's going on. I have attached screenshot see I have to turn my slider all the way to cool to make white not look so yellowish. Any help is appreciated.
Have you turned on the night mode
If you have then that causes increased warmth of the screen
Just disable it and you are good to go

I've heard that a black screen will use very little energy, so I tested it myself. I put Aldiko in night mode on a blank page for an hour. My phone used 17% battery (97% from the display) in this hour. Was there some flaw in my testing? Did I misunderstand the claim? Is there some setting that I need to change? Or is this normal?

just run your charge to 100%, unplug your phone and put it to sleep immediately, and check after an hour.
theres a true reading.
I think he's trying to get a reading of the battery usage with the screen "running" the color black. By putting it to sleep the screen isnt really running. Try the experiment again see if you get the same results. then try it with a white and lets see the difference.

While black uses almost no power, there is a small flaw to your logic. Even though you were displaying an all black screen, anything using CPU cycles in the background is still running (as opposed to if the screen was in sleep mode--which is where the recent bug in facebook came from). The app could also be draining battery waiting for things like touch-sensitive controls.
The claim isn't that black pixels use no power, it's that they use drastically less as opposed to a colored pixel. An AMOLED screen uses a lot of power, and an SAMOLED will at use close to (or more) than that. The idea is that you'll lose far less battery life with a black screen than you will with a screen that's all lit up, which isn't true of a standard LCD.

not quite. it depends on what is being displayed.
quoting wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_LED#Disadvantages
Power consumption: While an OLED will consume around 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image which is primarily black, for the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD - however it can use over three times as much power to display an image with a white background such as a document or website. This can lead to disappointing real-world battery life in mobile devices.

as far as super amoled: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_AMOLED
Compared with the first-generation AMOLED, the Super AMOLED advantages are:
* 20% brighter screen
* 80% less sunlight reflection
* 20% reduced power consumption

I assume you're more or less commenting on general power consumption, because both of those things backed my side about how it uses even less power when displaying blacks versus whites. The only thing different than what I said is that wikipedia claims it uses less power some of the time, but more power other times, so I'm not sure which part you're disagreeing with by saying "not quite."
I place the Samsung Galaxy S under my pillow and listen to "whiteNoise". That gets me to sleep pretty fast.
The problem is that the battery full indicator switches on the display and leaves it on. (I have the setting activated that while on usb power, leave display on).
This causes the phone to get really hot during the night and I'm scared it might kill it eventually.
So I could toggle the usb option every night, but I really would like that the useless battery full warning could be disabled.
I hoped that Froyo would bring a solution to this problem, but I guess not.
Maybe by posting it here (again?) some bright minds can find the option to disable this warning completely.

I just noticed shadows on my screen a few days ago, it's definitely screen burn as I can see the clock and other icons. Anyone else getting this and would this be a warranty issue?
I never leave the screen on overnight or anything, I usually have the desk clock running overnight but that has it's own built in screen saver so that's not the issue. And the burnt in images are of the desktop icons.
I would have expected far better quality and life expectancy from such an expensive device. My Alienware laptop is now over 2 years old and the screen is perfect even though it stays on longer than the Note.

Screen burn happen on amoled screens not on other type of screens and your alien ware doesn't have an amoled screen...
There's a thread about screen burn go there..
I also have screen burn on the bottom half of my device.
It looks like an eye doctor's test chart. Literally.
How does this happen?
Got it fixed under warranty. I'll never ever be using that "DIMLock" app again as it was the cause of the burnt screen! Well actually now I think about it the biggest culprit was that bloody annoying "Battery fully charged - unplug charger" message which bugs the snot out of me by ALWAYS popping up 5 minutes after I've pressed the power button to put the screen into sleep mode. That dumb message turns the screen on, and because DIMLock was running, the screen would stay on after that, and if I fell asleep in the meantime then it would stay on all night!!
I really wish I could disable that stupid message.
Use a launcher that hides status bar. Use full screen for web browser...etc etc...

I have the S10 Exynos version unlocked, since new I noticed a dead pixel, whatever not big deal, never took it to warranty, but a few months ago I dropped my phone with case and everything so the frame wasn´t affected but the screen... the glass didn´t broke but the screen did... Appeared some white lines near the edges, some horizontal and one vertical, and the phone now sometimes the screen turns on, sometimes I have to lock and unlock it several times with the button to get the screen to turn on, green tint or flickering on high brightness, etc... Expected problems on a phone with broken oled screen.
My question here is: Does a broken OLED screen waste more energy?
Since the broken screen incident, my phone heats up more quickly when in use, I run out off battery juice in like 4 hours of normal use, and I know the white lines may consume more energy as they are also on max brightness even when I have my brightness set to 1/4, but that much energy? The lines arent even that big, just in the lower and left edges of the screen.
No settings where changed asside from using the windows phone app sometimes, no new apps, adaptive brightness off and almost always on 1/4 intensity, dark mode enabled, screen resolution set to HD+, battery mode on optimized and adaptive energy saving on, no virus according to mcafee built in, and really no changes aside for the broken screen.
Also any ideas for making my battery last at least half day? Appart from changing the screen and doing a hard reset (I can´t afford the screen repair right now as it is 200 dollars in my country) and the hard reset has already been done a month ago with same results
This is probably the worst issue I have with the phone, it seems to drop screen brightness when it heats up, which more likely than not happens when using the phone in direct sunlight, making what is generally a bright screen under sunlight become a pain to use.
I'm not exactly a heavy phone user, so I'd much rather keep the phone at max brightness for short periods, even if it heats up a little. Anyone had any luck disabling this safety feature?

Have you tried turning off Adaptive Brightness in Display settings?
And also have you got the latest firmware update?

Yes, it was all turned off, but in the meanwhile I cleared the data for Device Health Services and it seems to have stopped sudden changes in brightness, it would visibly brighten up the display going from indoors to outdoors before.
Seems it was still retaining some adaptive brightness settings even after having disabled it. Will test if further tomorrow to see if that fixed it.

Well good luck bud!
Well, it still dims and brightens the display, to a lesser extent now, but I'm starting to doubt it's due to heating. Heating it up with intensive use while keeping it in bright conditions keeps the display at maximum, but changing lighting conditions like going indoors or covering the light sensor causes it to dim the display.
Is this a bug or a feature, I've seen people elsewhere complaining about this, so it's not a unique occurence.
