[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII
Yes I do have a screen burn which looks like the power off symbol on my bottom half of screen. I have no clue where it comes from though... Never had something like that shown on my display.
It is only visible on brighter gray and if you look close so since I prefer colourful wallpaper I only see it sometimes when pulling down notification bar

I have it also a tiny spot 2mms across which is seen on gray and brighter colors, not that much, almost nothing on dark colors.

Yes, I have slight burn-in from the AOSP Clock (time and the buttons at the bottom).
I've got one above the misdemeanor towards right corner of the screen. Gonna replace screen, never seen on previous exchanges models.

Yes...I've burn in of opera mobile's reload and tabs icon at the bottom... Specially visible when the screen is of near white color! Sad to see it happening so soon
Is it warranty covered? Is there anything else we can do about it?

Does you O1 have white'ish "area" around the bottom corners?
Yes. But you must stare to see them. All LCD screens have this issue. Even my laptop has this.

Turn all the lights off, make sure the room is very dark.
Turn on auto brightness in settings.
Turn on auto screen power adjustment.
Click the following link and make the imagine full screen.
Look specifically for black horizontal lines going down the screen. I have one, my best friend has one in a different spot, my girlfriend has none. All bought from the same store.

Ok now listen very carefully. In order to see this picture you need to have your brightness all the way UP.
You have to do the exact opposite that you have to do when trying to find the defect on your own screen.
This is a picture of my screen taken in total darkness with a damn playskool camera:

Make sure its totally dark in the room! If so you're good, nothing to worry about.

Interesting... I have a solid darker line going from top to bottom slightly to the left from the center. I also see some spots around the screen that I thought at first might have been fingerprints as they're a little more blurred than the rest.
Never noticed anything until I viewed this image.

I don't know if I'm doing this right. I don't really see "lines", just two boxes at the bottom that I can move left and right. Then the whole middle of the screen isn't as "dark" as the top 25%.

You need to take one of the attached grey images and open it full screen on your phone so that nothing else is showing on the screen. Then follow the rest of the instructions to check for defects.

Ya I have one too that's slightly left, same as was described already in this thread. When did you get yours? I got mine the first day, if you got yours on the same day then both screens were probably in the same batch and all have this defect. It isn't visible outside of a gray picture in complete darkness, and doesn't effect the screen otherwise, so I'm pretty sure that the screen passed QA testing wihtout anyone noticing.
everyone ive showed this to has a line from top to bottom slightly to the left....you sure its not just in the wallpaper....because ive looked at similar dark grey wallpapers with the same settings on in dark light and none of thoes have ever showed a line
mine doesnt have any !

Yes I'm sure its not the wallpaper. I can tell because when I turn the phone sideways the picture rotates but the line doesn't.
Just likr title says. When i use the free pixle test app to display black or pull up an all black photo theres little black smuges here and there. Usually no larger than a mm or 2.
Please test your devices and see if you have this as well. Be advised i had to go under the covers in my room with all my lights off. Your bathroom would work perfect too if you dont have a window in it as you need pitch black surroundings to see this.

This is happening to a lot of folks. I don't think there's a resolution to this problem at this point. You could try to exchange if you want.

This happens on our Skyrocket as well. But with that one the darker the screen you see lines appearing. I would guess its just the way the screen is because its on multiple devices.

Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I think the display is pretty good
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.

Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

Its not just the screen its the 3g/wifi the screen and everything but the screen is bit so it needs more power than a smaller screen. That's just one reason.

It's science! Literally.
White light is suppose to be the brightest light while black is its opposite. The way these phones work is that the black pixels, pure black, are just pixels turned off. Now apply the opposite logic with white.
But for the phones, I'm not sure exactly. But I think red is the least power consuming, I forget.

I believe it's the way standard screen and amoled screens work.
Amoled: imagine the individual pixel, it has its own colour and light. When displaying black as mentioned before all the pixels are literally switched off which is why blacks look so deep with amoled. For whatever colour only a few pixels are on. Which controls what colour you see. However for white all the pixels have to be on as you can imagine the amount of power spent for a white screen is much higher.
Standard LCD screens generally work where all the pixxels are white and they are behind tiny pixel filters each having Their own colour (RGB like amoled) they can easily lets say switch the filters off and remove them so that it only displays white. Black is more difficult to display I'm not sure why I could be wrong but I think it's because the light from the other pixels comes in causing blacks to be less deep this is the same with colours they look more washed out
Anyways
So amoled is like having loads of little light bulbs of different colour that are on at different intensities to create whatever colour. Standard LCD is like loads of white bulbs or a big white bulb and the colour is controlled by holding filters over it of different colour infront of it which needs less power.
That's my understand ing but please correct me if I'm wrong! I read about one years ago but cant remember properly
Hope it helps!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
because the AMOLED, unlike the normal LCD, uses three LED RBG. to have the color white needs to turn on the three LEDs and then spend more energy. In fact, the websites often have the white background.
try putting the color reversed so as to have the black background (you save energy because it does not need to turn the usual LED)
Can't you use Google? Or Bing? Or any search engine?
