Hello
is it possible to Double-Tap Screen to Wake htc one max up? (something like LG G2 knock on feature)
there is a guide for htc one here
does it work on MAX too?
I don't think it's possible - hardware screen limitation
If they got that to work on the HTC One, maybe it could work on the One Max too, but we'd need someone to make a kernel for us to use.
From what I caught that works on an oled screen because it actually never turns the screen off it just makes it pure black. This uses a tiny amount of battery on an oled screen but would be monstrous battery use on an lcd like ours.

Hi..
I doubt on your words.... LCD or OLED has nothing to do with this cause we only touch the digitizer not the LCD/LED.

hi im a bit worried on my screen right now because ive notice some yellowish part on my x10 screen but it is only visible on white back ground.
it is located on the bottom part and few at the right side of the LCD...
could this be a possible screen burns? is it even possible in a normal LCD? because i thought screen burns only occur in those super amoled screens..
but you cant notice it when there is background color other than white..
anybody also suffer from this?
(use skyfire and go to a blank page in order to have a full white background)
I think there are only shadows of the led on the upper and downside of the display...the display isnt getting hot... just my thought...
send from my x10 using Rendeiro's 2.2.1/Cyanogen6.1.3
Last time i checked it wasnt possible to screen burn a phone, it would have to get really hot. Computer monitors do it but they are plugged into a socket, where as phones arnt that heavily used (compared with a monitor). LCD screens are supposed to be "immune" from them as they use a different method to get the display working
So no i doubt it will be screen burn

screen burns is possible in mobile phones..(one of my dilemma when i had my samsung wave s8500..i suspected it as a screen burn because its quite similar to what happen to my samsung wave...is there any screen test like in samsung wave where you can test the lcd with different colors so you can distinguish what color is burning your screen?
I want to ask, how does one burn his screen (on 2 phones no less)?
full brightness and lots of blue colors in background....
After seeing the screen on the samsung galaxy s II i'm pretty confident that its what i'll be getting, but...I'm concerned about burn in.
One of the reasons I was leaning towards the htc sensation is that with slcd I don't have to worry about burn in at all, but how much do i really have to worry about it?
I havn't seen many people complain about burn in on the first galaxy s, but there are still some cases.
Is it reduced on the galaxy s II?
Are the chances of this happening so low that I shouldnt worry about it?
How cheap/easy is it to replace the screen if this happens?
im interested in this as well
Hi,
I´m an Omnia 2 I8000 owner since 10.2009. It was the first phone on market with Samsungs Amoled-screen.
I allways use Black themes.
I don´t have any problems with screen burn up to now. You can see it slightly on testimages, but in normal use, you won´t notice it at all! I would post pictures, but my Display was replaced(Dust under the screen) a month ago, so its new again...
Rgds
Is there even such a problem on AMOLED screens? I came from a Nexus One with AMOLED screen and never had such issues, and I believe the screen was made by Samsung too.

Amoled screens are basically plasma screens for phones.
They're completely different technologies, but the pros/cons are almost the same.
lcds make a picture but the backlight is what allows us to see it so clearly.
amoled make their own light, but they have a lifespan.
so the pixels that get the most use tend to fade, and leave a 'burn in' effect.

Burn in happens as early as 4-6 months of use with most AMOLED based screens, this happens mostly on the clock section of the notification bar, there is a long thread about this on the SGS1 forums. Honestly burn in is the least of concerns, be more concerned about the yellow tinting issue on most SAMOLED Plus screens.
Well ive had a samsung jet for some 3-4 years, one of the first amoleds (i think)
and i dont have a hint of burn in, i also got a htc desire after that because i fell in love with amoled and that doesnt have any burn in either. Now i have my sgs2 and the amoled love continues. I have a plasma screen at home so i am very familliar with burn in (nasty shock in the morning when falling asleep with it on!).
I think if samsung thought these were going to burn in they would have put screen protection/pixel flushing just like they did with my samsung plasma tv. Its really not a worry in my mind and i use bright blue glowing themes which are the most aggressive on amoled pixels.
Ive read horror stories of burn in but those are just faulty screens/handsets.
Heres the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892498&page=16&highlight=amoled+burnin
what im still unable to find is how easy it would be to replace the screen if it were to burn in, and what it would cost.
never knew these AMOLED screens have image retention problems.
My Nexus One had terrible screen burn, the Froyo notification bar was clearly visable when not actually displayed. Hope the SGS2 does not go this way.

Yes there is a problem. My nexus one has permanent burn in. And I made a thread with many others posting pics of their burn in.
Its just a trait of amoled screens. My status bar, clock am pm, and keyboard are all burnt in to the screen on my nexus one.

Yes, but i cant find anything saying if its been improved on the amoled plus screens.
I would assume that the efficiency boost would lessen the effect a bit because it should boost the pixel lifespan, but im not 100%.

Yes that is the question now, we don't know how much amoled plus improves this issue. I have to think that its gonna be much improved with this new generation.
Mine already seems to suffer from burn-in, most noticeable whenever my auto-brightness shifts to lower thresholds (had my SGS2 since the last day of June 2011). I wonder if Sammy can do any replacement for me.
I got a burn in too. The four bottom icons start to be visible with notification bar pulled down.
Looks like I ain't the only one with an sgs2 with this issue then. I notice it's only visible at low brightness - approximately 10-15%. And my notification bar has always been black.

Got mine since it's release in May, always used very low brightness settings and a low screen-off-timer, 30 seconds or one minute.
Status bar is visible on red background and very visible on blue, some icons and the clock time are present all the time.
Really pathetic after very moderate and careful use in five month.

Similar to my usage pattern mate. Pathetic is the word. Damn.
My girlfriends' SII recently got her screen burned in,which got me thinking "can this happen to me?" Is it even a problem for us EVO users? I know the screen for the SII wasn't an LCD screen , and I believe the EVO's is. Any answers will be appreciated!
LCD do not burn in, which is what the EVO LTE has.
IPS LCD screens can have what is called image retention or image persistence, which looks like burn in, but it is temporary and goes away if you stop using your device for awhile or flash a bunch of colors quickly on the screen for awhile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence
Amoled screens can have burn in, which is what your girlfriend has. This is why I cannot understand why people want onscreen buttons on phones like the galaxy nexus. I would guess a majority of Galaxy Nexus phones will have their navigation buttons permanently displayed(it is really faint usually) on their phones within a year and it can probably be seen during any full screen activity in which a gray or similar light colored background is shown.
I am not sure if the Super LCD2 used in the EVO LTE is an IPS screen or not(I think it is based on a quick google search and the fact that the colors and blacks look amazing) so I can't tell you for sure if it will have image retention issues, which again, are not permanent anyway.
Thanks! That's exactly what I thought, I just wanted a second opinion. Thanks for clarifying the difference between image retention and screen burn in. I'm fine with it as long as its not permanent.
If you find the image retention lasting a long time, you can run something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel&hl=en
It's meant to detect dead pixels, but by cycling through all the colors, it "erases" the image retention.
Ideally, you can find a video on youtube (there are plenty), just search for monitor calibration or hdtv calibration and then play that video for 5-20 min. (The video should just be rotating full screens of colors like the dead pixel finder)
Anyone know if the true HD IPS+ screen is similar to the AMOLED in that black pixels dont use as much power? For example, would we have the same power saving benefits of black wallpaper and inverted apps as a phone with an AMOLED screen?
Nope because the LCD tries and replicate black's SDI the screen is still on and using power

I don't know, are you sure? I would be willing to bet that even though power is used to emit something, it's only a fraction of the power used for bright colors.

As far as I'm aware, LCD is still continually and constantly backlit, unless you have one of those dynamic backlighting schemes like on some TVs where there are zones that dime to provide blacker blacks. The backlight is a separate source as LCD cannot emit its own light.
OLED provide the source of the light as well as colour, so when the pixel is black, it is actually off.
So, REDFOCZ's response is correct.
AMOLED screens don’t require a backlight. The benefit of losing a backlight is apparent: these screens are able to produce blacks so deep that the screen pixels can shut right off. This can save battery life if you use a background that is dark in color or black. LCD screens still require the back light on those using power.

Thanks for all of the thoughtful responses everyone! I don't even know why i'm trying to milk more battery life out of this phone (old habits from the captivate days i guess)! My experience with the battery life is great!

I know this has been brought up before but I am curious if the light bleeding and very dark screen is an issue with just some of the devices? My light bleeding looks horrible and can't stand looking at it in the dark. And during the day time it dims so dark I can't even see if I have a notification. Thoughts?
The light bleed is totally normal. This is an LCD screen and it uses backlight technology. There will be bleed when one part of the screen is lit and the rest is not. The reason its hard to read the 2nd screen out in the sun is because the 2nd screen dims to the lowest possible level to preserve battery life while it is on. It will brighten up if you actually wake the screen. I agree the 2nd screen doesn't look great at night but that is the trade off you get going with LCD. AMOLED wouldn't have that issue but AMOLED screens tend to burn in. Pick your poison.

I understand that but the main reason for getting this device was hopes to see if I have a notification by simply glancing at the 2nd screen. It's so dim I can barely even read it. At this point I wish I just had a flashing led.

I don't have the phone but based on other peoples experiences it sounds like you have a defective phone. The second display should be easily read. People seem to love it.

Plus their reds look like oranges.
I'm just noticing that the left edge of the 2nd screen, next to the front cams, is a lil brighter than the whole 2nd screen, in the upper corner. Im assuming this is normal. It's not really Noticeable

This is by design. All units have it.
My Amoled devices aren't as readabled in direct sun light. IPS text is so crisp. But as it's been mentioned it's lcd, so there's always gonna be a brighter edge where the backlighting originates.
