Hi
My Galaxy S got a permanent screen burn-in after 6 month use.
After got a service, I think I got a LCD instead of AMOLED.
So, I'm wondering if galaxy s (i9000) can use LCD(probably for i9003).
Anyone know this? I'd like to complain about this.
Because, I bought Galaxy S to get OLED screen.
Thanks in advance.
anything is possible tho this sounds very unlikely to happen.
try to compare it to another SGS and see if theres a difference (and dont forget that a poor screen protector can change colors)
if u r still unsure u should send it to a lab to get it checked
Dude, believe me if you had your phone for 6 months and got a LCD display, you wouldn't be just thinking it wasn't AMOLED - you would have already sent it back for replacement. Just look at the display at a steep angle from all the sides and if it doesn't fade to white you've got AMOLED.
Would the amoled screen on the rogers vibrant s work on the T-Mobile t959 phone? I have the t959 with a cracked screen and can get the rogers phone with a bad internal SD for about 40 which is cheaper than buying a screen new and I know how to swap I just don't know compatibility anyone have an idea?
Can i putt a lcd on my galaxy s1 amoled version?
Touchscree iz broke, realy bad but still works.
So i need a new touchscreen.
And i cant find one without a lcd screen
So I think this is it, I'm getting annoyed with TW once again ?. All those little lags, jitters, disabling DVFS helps but not that much, whatever.
So the obvious question, has any one of you moved to any flagship phone from Note 4, which was worth it? AOSP based mostly I was thinking anyway. I am ready to give up on display and screen size and probably even camera LOL, (what else are there anyway?) and was thinking about HTC 10, what do you think, worth it?

Did you try rooting the note 4 and running CM rom? It works very well, you'll have all the specs of note 4 and an AOSP rom as well.

I don't find touchwiz much annoying while weighing it's features against the small lags. I got used to multi-windows & Shealth stuff. I don't experience much lags in marshmallow custom rom with s7 Ports(Dr.Ketan's rom & Nameless rom). If my pocket allows I will go for Note 7 later this year
im sell my htc M9Plus and buy note 4, after rooting this phone is aBeast
Yes, I am moving to Mi Max 128GB.. like MIUI ROM.

LOL root really? That was done in less than an hour of getting the phone man. But which CM could I run on my G version without any problem? I did flash CM Remix few days ago, and it gave me at least dozens of errors in less than 10 minutes, never saw anything like that ever in my life, so came back to TW. Also CM messes up with camera photo quality right? And makes the fingerprint scanner invalid? And S Heath sensors too?

I never faced any problems when I had installed it. But I always tried the build from here:

I've not had any major problems with my N910C after updating to Marshmallow. I've experienced the odd lag here and there but works great 98% of the time.
If I loose my note 4 tomorrow, I'll buy a second hand Note 4 the day after. I haven't been able to find a worthy replacement for it, and the main reason is the Spen. I am a heavy Spen user and, unfortunately, my options are very limited. Note 5 is not an option (no SDcard, no removable battery), note 7 won't have a replacement battery, so I will probably stick with Note 4 until further notice!

Yep, my biggest gripe.
Don't care how awesome the battery is, once it's flat, it's flat... I have both the Note 4 and the Note Edge, having the spare batteries gets me through the times when I can't charge it.
For those who say to use a battery pack, that's unnecessary weight in my pocket, lugging around a battery pack attached to the phone don't need to tear pockets from weight of pack). To change the battery I remove the spare from my bag, remove the old and slap in he new. Old battery back in the bag and I'm happy...

That's the one aspect of the importance of the removable battery. The other one is the serviceability.
I've been using my Note 4 for 18 months and the battery started behaving strangely, not holding up as it used to, sudden drops etc. Off to the store, paid €25, bought a new one, put it on, new phone!
I move to ios and its great. still have the note 4 cause of the spen. Waiting for note 7 and see if it is worth it. If not maybe trying to get the win 10 phone.
Waiting for note 6(7), will buy on release if it has sd slot, don't care about removable battery at all.
The importance of having a removable battery is the power capacity of the battery itself so if you do get 4000mah with the note 7 why do you need a removable battery!! Indeed it's an option but not quite necessary..

Nope, staying and waitin for Note 7. What I have learnt is that with every brand there will be somethings I don't like and Samsung has the least of those, so I am happy with Galaxy Note range for the next 2years or so.

Thanks all for the feedback, except two I am still confused. I wish these times I was a simple minded person like my parents who couldn't tell difference between Android and Nokia 1200, whatever.
I have been checking the HTC 10 section every now and then, and this is what I gather:
- Better camera
- Better build (Obviously!)
- Significantly better support from XDA, and its beyond argument that Sense is lighter and better than TouchWiz
- Class leading audio, but I don't really care about that!
But a smaller and inferior display, however if display is pixel perfect then that's acceptable, no S Pen, no S Health sensors, and more importantly still pretty steep price wise, but waiting like a month will cool it down a bit I suppose.
Thinking....thinking...
Awaiting for note7!!!!

The Notes have one killer feature, and one thing only, the Spen. If you can do without it, then there are plenty of other options out there. If you can't do without it, then you have no option.

You can easily get a brand new one at a very reasonable price. In fact the price has actually dropped £100 more at the online retailer where I purchased mine from last year!

That is the main reason why I got the Note 4 last year! Instead of getting the SGS6 or the Note 5. As I like having the ability to replace the battery myself without having to open up the whole phone or take it into a store to get it replaced. As we all know that the first thing to start to degrade in any mobile device is the battery. So having the ability to replace it easily ourselves is a good thing. Shame that all android OEMs are have removed this feature from their device's designs.
My wife has a Note 8 that she uses quite a bit. It's her primary internet device. She's had it since the beginning of October and already has burnin on her screen. It is a darker horizontal lines about 1/5 of the way down the screen and probably corresponds to a calendar or email widget that she has on the screen.
I know that there have been reports of navigation bar burnin, but she doesn't have that.
She came from a Note 4 and that thing had a massive amount of burnin.
This phone is two months old. I feel like for the money, it should last longer than two months without burnin.
Anyone else have this? Is it even worth bringing it to a Verizon store?
I have a Note 8 as well, but no burnin. But then I don't use my phone like she does hers.

That's amoled screens for you... however I've never had burn in either on any Sammy oled device, had this Note8 since release date and it's fine.(as with all other Sammy oleds)
But don't think device is the problem it's how you use it like you said her note 4 was the same... Both are amoled screens,
My suggestion is either swap it for a phone that's not amoled or get rid of those damn widgets/theme the device so all the screen is being used / not used :laugh: if you had say a black wallpaper and white widgets on your screen , half the screen is actually turned off (where the black wallpaper shows).
Brightness levels and screen timeout times also would be worth changing
But sounds like the damage has already been done
I wonder if it could be a warranty claim or at least a screen replacement claim.
Wouldn't hurt to take it to the store and ask. Or chat with Samsing support online and ask them. Send them pictures of the burn-in. Samsung replaced a Galaxy Nexus I bought used back in the day that had really bad burn-in.
Sup sup. I did make my research before posting, but the posts that I found were old.
I have found out in the bad way that Water Resistance degrades over time. I placed my 2 year old Pixel 3 phone in a pool and the screen got screwed (I'm having stripes all across the screen) and now it needs to be serviced.).
In addition, about a year ago, I also submerged my phone in water (all great! Took awesome pics) but stupidly decided to charge it without letting it dry... And Bam! The USB C connector got damaged and it only connected from one side of the USB C (The irony) .
Considering that the bill of materials to replace the device is around $150 ($100 for the screen + USB assembly $20) + servicing costs ($30), it would be in the $180-$200 ballpark.
This brings me the important question, should I upgrade or should I fix my phone?
I'm pretty happy with the Pixel 3. I was planning on Keeping it 5+ years (using custom ROMs), but honestly, I don't know if it's worth it.
I was thinking on going with a Pixel 5a, but the Snapdragon 765G is similar (and in some cases worse) than the SD 845, so I don't know if it makes sense.
I've been using Google Phones ever since 2013 (Nexus 4, 5X Pixel 3), but I don't dislike change.
But I dislike paying more than $500 for a phone, except iPhones (Pixel 3 I got it for $500 from Google). If I were to pay more than $500, I'd go with an iPhone instead.
Therefore. Should I fix or upgrade my Pixel?
Thanks a bunch
Stupid
You can try to dry all hardware
