On my note 4 when I used one-handed mode, the background around the smaller screen was black. No text. No patterns. So I used this to help prevent screen burn in issues with certain apps I needed to leaving running/displayed all the time. Shifting around where things are displayed goes a long way to helping with burn in.
On the S9+, Samsung is now displaying a striped pattern in the background, as well as bright white text at the top of the screen. Anyway to change that?
I will just be exchanging burning in one thing for another...
It also defaults to a really small screen. On the Note 4 is used to default to whatever size you used last. That just seemed sensible.

Noticing some image persistence today after going into settings. I could see the google play icon that has always been in the same spot. I could also see a couple of others. Seems to be going away now that I have a settings open for a few mins.
Guess I need to shorten the screen on time. Currently set at 30min. Had this TP since December.
the lcd isnt really capable of screen burn in. its only image persistence. mobile displays are bad about this. it isnt helping if you are keeping it on a 30 minute time out though.
That is a first one for me aswell because my display doesn't turn off unless i click the lock screen button. Post a picture to help see and fix the problem hopefully. usually how to fix it involves just putting a black or white picture on it for a good hour or so....but that's on a very old TV rather than the touchpad so like i said its a first for me
how about install "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix" from market to rapidly flash the screen to get rid of the burn in?
Here is a few ways to fix it:
1.Turn off the monitor for extended periods of time. It can be as little as several hours or it could be as long as several days.
2.Use a screen saver with a rotating image and run it for extended periods of time. The rotating color palette should help remove the persistent image but it could take a long time.
3.Run the screen with a single solid color or bright white for an extended period of time. This will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single color setting and should erase any previous image persistence
I have just changed my lock screen wallpaper and now there are to think black lines running vertically down each side of the screen these are not present on the ripple screen only after i have swiped ready to put my pattern in they appear it is like the wallpaper moves position slightly i have tried to change back to the default screen but it is still happing where they like this to start off with or am i going nuts???
postimage.org/image/6cm1iujxz this is the ripple screen
postimage.org/image/p3nyt0eif this is the lock screen with the lines down the side?
You're not going nuts. The same thing started happening to me all of a sudden. I changed the wallpaper and everything was fine (for sure!). At some point that border appeared, I don't really remember when it was or what caused it but I can't get it to go away.
I know it's a little OCD crazy, but these little things drive me nuts.
Bump
Is there a way to have the second screen always display time, battery, connectivity, and notification? Hoping to have extra real estate on the main screen.
I would be interested in knowing this as well, maybe there is someway to use the full screen (with the second screen part) altogether?
I'm confused. My second screen always shows the time, date, battery, and any notifications.
Does it show that info while the screen is on? Or does that information move to the main screen?

I can only speak for stock and unrooted but it DOES NOT show time, date, or battery info whilst the main screen is on. As far as notifications go, only briefly (1-2 seconds) as they come through.
I am also interested in this. I am very happy with the phone and the only issue is how the top gets slightly darker during immersive mode. Only when lighting up the second screen does the main screen become uniform for immersive apps. Is there a setting with the default ROM that forces the second screen on for all apps?
Same issue here

I'd think there must be. And at least with root we should be able to change that setting. Now let's hope someone finds it.
BTW: I contacted LG about this but haven't gotten a response yet.

Is this still an issue with newer V10 batches? It's the only thing keeping me from trying again. I'm a bit OCD and I returned 2 V10s in November because on book readingnin immersive mode, it drove me crazy that the top of the screen was slightly darker than the rest.
I'd be willing to give it a go again if I knew LG fixed.

I know the title sounds crazy, so let me explain.
I've had this issue for quite a long time now but never gotten into it.
Basically, when I open a white image or whatever light colored app/background, I can recognize a Whatsapp conversation in transparency, almost like it's stuck underneath the display.
So I tried opening the recovery to clear cache and I noticed the same exact thing when the recovery was loading (light blue background).
You can find a picture below. The top portion is my phone's display while the bottom is a screenshot found on Google (cause I needed the old layout for Whatsapp chats).
By the way, the phone I'm having trouble with is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge updated to Android 7.0 (the update didn't fix the issue).
Thanks to everyone in advance
This is known as image retention or burn-in. It is a characteristic of OLED/AMOLED displays when the same images are held at high brightness/intensities for long periods of time. There are apps/tools/methods which claim to reduce, remove or in some way fix the problem but please do your research as there is a good chance they can make the problem worse or introduce new problems. I have not investigated further other than methods of prevention. Also, organic light emitting diodes/pixels have a given lifespan. The screen will lose brightness and color accuracy over time. Blue diodes will fade first, then green, then red.
I think this is a bug – but it may be a stupid question on my part. Apologies if so. I'm primarily an iOS user on mobile, and the Gemini (which I'm loving so far…) is my first serious experience of Android.
OK, so I was playing with customisation options for my home screen, and although I actually really like the default dark blue starfield background that comes preset on the machine, I decided to swap it for an 'early morning sky' photo that I typically use on all my mobile devices. (It's a photo I took myself years ago, and works really well as a backdrop.)
After touching 'Set wallpaper', I elected to set my new background for both home screen AND lock screen. Fine; that worked OK and looks good. But I subsequently changed my mind and wished I'd stuck with the standard starfield for the lock screen. So I went back to the wallpaper options to change the lock screen only.
At this point I discovered the problem/bug. The thumbnail of the starfield picture is still there to be selected, and if I touch it, it covers the screen like it did before, so everything appears OK. However, when I click on 'Set wallpaper' and choose the option, regardless of what I choose (home screen, lock screen or both), there's a pause and then the starfield vanishes, leaving me with a completely black background. I can set the background image to any new photo that I supply myself without problems, but any attempt to reapply the original starfield graphic fails, which is rather a shame.
Can anyone tell me where I can locate the starfield graphic on the system? I've tried browsing the file system (with hidden files visible) but haven't found it. Or can anyone perhaps supply the file so that I can copy it back to the device if perhaps it only now exists in a cache or some such problem? I'd really like to get the image back.
Thank for any help.

Can confirm I have the same issue after re-flashing with the latest stock Android. Explains why I've still got a black screen!
+1 , same thing seen (or not seen if you prefer lol)

I believe this is a bug. I got around this by a long winded method. I selected the "star field" thumbnail so it covers the screen. At this point I took a screen shot by pressing Fn + R and then you can go to your gallery app, select the screen shot image, crop anything you don't want such as the bar at the top and then set the edited screen shot as your background. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good workaround.
