screen burn in issue

[Himanshuvarma99]

After 2 years &3 month usage suddenly  got display issues

While I was using WhatsApp green screen appeared with horizontal lines then i increased the brightness  with the help of Google assistant. Then I factory reseted the phone because  i thought  this was an software issue but it didn't  get better. Finally after learning  about this problem i found this is known as screen burn in. In which pixels are get burned.

Now

Phone is working  ok on high and low brightness  but green screen appears on mid brightness. And colors also looks faded. & there is also ghost screen on 

I was hoping  it will be repaired for free as I would  consider this in manufacturing  defect.

But i know how brands T&C works. So there is very less chances.

I was also scared after this problem because in my family  all have Samsung  phone with amoled display. And that was pretty  expensive.

I had the same problem. Screen discoloration and pixel broke. I ignored and continued my usage. Suddenly my Samsung A50 faced abnormal heating issue and the display stopped working. I had no other option but to change my display and now it's perfectly fine

for pressure display burn in never happened by the way ...it's only happened if someone do something for hours and hours in high brightness or someone use bright wallpaper on screen ...and s amoled is more prone to get it than other types of display

Fix Screen Burn-In on Your Galaxy S8 (& Prevent It from Happening Again)

STEP 1
Install AMOLED Burn-in Fixer

To start off, you'll need to undo the burn-in on your phone. It's a fairly simple process which only requires the installation of an app that'll invert your screen, which forces the pixels to unstick from their current burned-in color(s). The app we'll be using is called AMOLED Burn-in Fixer, and will work on all devices with an AMOLED screen.

Install AMOLED Burn-in Fixer for free from the Google Play Store




Once you've got the app installed, open it up and let it run until your pixels look as though they're back to normal. Depending on the severity of the screen burn-in, this could take several hours, so keep a charger handy. We also have a complete guide on installing and using the app below, so check that out if you'd prefer step-by-step instructions.

STEP 2
Hide Navigation & Status Bar

After you've fixed the burnt-in pixels, you'll want to make sure the problem doesn't happen again. The easiest way to do this would be to enable always-on Immersive Mode, which will autohide your navigation and status bars to keep them from getting etched into the screen, while still giving you access to these functions by simply swiping in from the edge of your screen.

The process is fairly simple, but it does require a computer with ADB installed. We recommend hiding both the navigation and status bars since those two areas have proven to be problematic. So to ensure that the screen burn-in doesn't come back, check out the complete guide at the link below for the ADB commands to hide those bars.

Step 3
Turn Off Always On Display

This last step will reinforce the anti-burn-in steps taken in Step 2. While Samsung did claim the home button the S8 and S8+ shift a little bit to prevent burn-in, what about Always On Display? Does the home button shift there too, or does it just stay static? Either way, we're going to turn off AOD since it does constantly show the home button (which appears to stay in the same spot).

So head to Settings and tap on "Lock screen and security." Scroll down a little bit to "Always On Display," and tap on the toggle right there or open up the menu and hit the toggle on top. Either way, AOD will have successfully turned off.




Now that you've hidden or turned off everything that could possibly be causing the navigation and status bar burn-in, let's find out whether or not it worked. Given that the initial burn-in reports began coming in about a week after the S8 was officially released, that should be a decent timeframe for trying out your phone with the bars hidden and AOD turned off.
