screen burn in? . Samsung say no - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Any experts who can help. Strange I only see the 'burn in' on the lock /home page but it's really bugging me. My other screens and even the app that shows every color on the screens is fine... Samsung checked the phone and said it's normal wear and tear... Thanks anyone

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?

I agree. Burn-In looks like a permanent ghost image on your display.

Thanks all for your help

[Q] weird notification burn in?

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.

side light..

Have you tried this feature. Lights up the screen when you receive any notification.. You can set it to other colors..
#prettycool
I've been playing around with this myself, doesn't appear like there is any customization to this which I wish there was to extend the time it stays on screen. Also it doesn't seem to work if you use custom texting apps for example.
Yeah it would have been nice to customize the colors, duration (time and repeat), and which notifications. Really like it though. I've missed a flashing status light to get my attention.

He was able to change it to whatever color? Or it was just showing the different factory set colors?

You're right its factory set colors. Kinda lame

There's a few of those apps, and this one worked best for me! I stopped using it (uninstalled) though, too much battery drain!

Go to notification settings on the custom texting app, importance, urgent. That should activate the blue frame. Worked for me on the Signal text app.
useless in the dark?
It almost makes up for the lack of Notification LED.
My only issue with this feature is that it only works when the AOD is on... so it is useless at night or in the dark.
I haven't figured out how to keep the AOD on while in the dark, I feel the phone vibrate but you have to press the power button a couple of times to wake up the V40. Anyone else having a similar issue? is there a setting?

Come to find out my issue is with the screen protector. It doesn't have a notch at the top, just holes for the cameras and speaker, and a clear spot for the sensor between the cameras... but that's not enough. So when there is not enough light, the sensor thinks it's in the pocket and the screen goes dark... and no knock to un-lock.

Yes, KnockON is enabled under "Extensions". I've found that knock or fingerprint don't work if the sensor in the front is covered. Only the power button.

Hey guys give this a try, I hate AOD and I'm disappointed this phone has no LED. But I traded this phone for my Mate 10 Pro so it's alright.

Immersive mode

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!

I wanted to hide the status bar, to shift the whole screen up, not just hide the icons ☺ however I did download some cool goodlock things thanks for reminding me that goodlofk is still a thing

Does it work with apps as well? I guess this is not that doable since I'd be probably missing some buttons that are over there...

Yes, of course
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.
Doesn't work with s10 it appears a black bar...

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

I'm afraid not, still looking. I tried several apps and adb. Even wscan command on adb which was something I used to shift the screen down to hide the navbar before pie. Nothing seems to work

Strange because apps can go full screen, like Netflix and YouTube Vanced. Just that stubborn black shaded status bar won't shift.

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.

Extra lock screen?

I have an always on lock screen that showing time on a black/turned off screen. However, from time to time when I pick up the phone from my packet there is this lock screen that showing my lock screen background and a clock. Only on that screen I cannot unlock the phone, face recognition, pattern and finger print is not available on that screen. I have to press power button to lock the phone and only afterwards I can use my finger print to unlock it.
It is very annoying because as I said I have to re-lock the phone to unlock it again.
I looked in the settings under lock screen, biometrics and could not find how to Iget rid of that ghostly lock screen?
If you dont use always on edge (aoe) then I think you mean the always on screen, but you actually can unlock from it, it should Show you the Fingerprint area.
It appears when you tap the screen when it's turned of, tapping this screen twice gets you to the normal lockscreen.
I've seen that recently... It's like a screen saver except I didn't enable one.. Lol

Ah i think i know what you mean now. It happens when you press the clock on the lock on the lockscreen, it should also display a small back Symbol on the lower left area

Bingo..it must trigger in my pocket bc that’s when I’ve seen it ..gesture back got it for me
iPhone X
That happens if you double tap the clock from the lock screen
Yep exactly that's it. But what is it for? Back gesture brings you back to lockscreen. Fp does not work. Power button lock the screen again.
Seems like some kind of Screensaver accessed through lockscreen.

I'm thinking it just hasn't been a big concern of theirs. It bothers me from time to time. For instance I can't always grab it and swipe it away because it's not really located where it shows it... But I've just come to live with it, been almost 2 years now.
