Image Retention - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey guys, got the phone for a few days.
already got burn ins from whatsapp. the white textbox is two times burned in (keyboard/without)
if u open up a dark grey picture u might see it as well.
just have seen it by an accident when opening "simple gallery", its base backround color was grey, so i found the burn ins.
i am not sure if all displays are affected by the burn ins, i will return mine :/

oh no. can u install aida 64, click on display, whats the panel id.

I've been using mine for almost 1 month and I have no image retention (btw it's image retention, it goes away . Only amoled's burn -in)
tianma td 4310.

I got the tianma td4310 as well.
Thx for your answere. This morning it was a way better. I know that only amoleds were known for burn-ins. so yeah, seems like it´s only "image retention", anyways for just a few days usage i am pretty disappointed.
will keep the phone for now and hope that it´s not getting worse

Are you on MIUI or some custom rom?
If you are on a custom rom, go to display and then to live display and then to colors and from 100% go to 95% to all of them. This happened to tianma panels on Redmi Note 4 too on custom roms.
This also happens to every LG since G4. Low-quality LCD Panels.
There is nothing wrong with your phone , you can rest assured.

atm RR, so far the best rom i guess. but still the only one i tried. had the RMN4 as well, but never issues with the display (except yellow spot, soon warranty/repair)
i just hope for some aosp roms in the future like AEX and custom kernels
but atm the phone is pretty new on the market and we need to wait a little bit

Yeah, it would be nice to have selection of different ROMs.

Can someone post a picture of burn-in...

actually it´s image retention, not a burn in. so it´s not good, but it seems to be okay.
i am not able to take a photo, cuz u would need a better camera for it.
i guess it depends on the apps that u use and how often.
if u want to see if u got it as well, you could try to download a simple grey picture.
for me grey/dark grey worked good to check it. then open it in fullscreen. u might see the buttons from the navbar slightly.
i´ve been using whatsapp a lot the last few hours, so i could see the white textbox.
atm i am on RR and i recently found out that u barely get max brightness on autobrightnes maxed out. after using max brightness (manual) it seemed to be better. dunno why may be on max brightnes, the pixel get "reset" better. i don´t know.
all in all. it´s okay for me and i guess if u got it, u can recalibrate it.

I installed aida 64 from playstore but I don´t get any panel info in "display"... where do you guys find that Info about panel manufacturer?

Everything is going to be alright. It's just a low-quality screen, nothing can be done except:
Go to display, live display, color tweak and tweak the colors. From 100% go to 95% and voila, everything is going to be normal. Tinama screens are pretty bad, you can go to the redmi note 4 forum and then look for image retention. There are a lot of topics about that and it seems that only tinama screens are affected.
tl;dr: nothing to be worried about. You probably wont have problems on MIUI because the screen is calibrated

Completely false, I have official MIUI 9.5.6.0, I have the phone for 2 days, it created image retention like crazy, god fing damn i didnt expect xiaomi to have such **** panels, so disappointed

@Kusie
Open Xiaomi dialer app and type *#*#6484#*#* and click "software version"
Tianma 4310 display as well. 7 days of usage. 22,75hr + of total SOT. Auto-brightness enabled. Contrast mode : high. Colours mode : standard. Mainly using tatatalk with night mode anabled , XDA labs with dark there as well and SimplePro for FB with white theme. Google keybord green theme. At late night hours auto-reading mode kicks in (100% set)
No image retention/tiny and barely visible navigation bar (or it's just placeboo).
Interesting. Some people here with the same panel face instant burn ins and some don't...
It has to be connected with color schemes of apps, which you are using or brightness levels, which you are mainly on

I saw image retention the first day I got the phone. Changed the color settings to cold (MIUI) and no problem since then.

And why should we be forced to use ugly Cold mode? We lose color accuracy just by doing that, along with the screen having an unnatural blue hue which is also bad for the eyes, I want color accuracy not a screen looking like it's frosted

Hi,
i am on "Linageos 15.1" and today i saw that the color of the screen went to dirty. Before i had very good color representation and now it is like gray, no saturation, no big hue.
While rebooting the phone i saw the last Apps i was running. I can see the Statusbar while i am on bootloader-animation.
My phone runs for about 1,5 months and this issue appeared immediately from one second to another.
So there is no solution to get the display working as it should?
So i have to buy a new phone?

I got a replacement device b/c of the image retention. The display manufacturer is not Tianma anymore but Shenchao. The model number stays the same.

[Q] Anyone else experiencing AMOLED burn-in / Image retention?

Has anyone else experienced bad screen burn-in / image retention issues with their Note 2?
I've only had the phone just over 90 days, but I've already got some pretty severe burn-in. I use an app for equities trading several hours every day and after a few months of use, the icons and other parts of the app that remain static are plainly visible at all times on any screen that isn't completely black.
For now to slow it down I've re-themed the app and replaced as many static elements as I could with transparent .PNG files and no text.
Any idea if Samsung will replace the display under warranty for these types of issues? (From what I've been able to find, it sounds like they refused to cover it for the S3, then reversed their position and began covering it for some folks - curious what their policy is now)
Here's an example screenshot - this is a blank white screen. It's MUCH more noticeable in person.
Although I havent had it in my note 2 yet, my galaxy s2 had it. I went in to sprint and they swapped it for me because I had insurance. Didnt pay anything. Goodluck though.

I had it bad on my S2. The notification bar and active apps icons were visible on all white and blue screens and so was my keyboard. Sprint sent me home said they don't see that as an issue and the phone works fine so as long as it worked they don't care. Samsung on the other had took down notes then asked me to ship it to them. Never got to send though because the lady refused to be without a phone. As of now my Note 2 has been burning in the notification bar again after about a month of use. I think that's why they made the S4 notification bar the same as whatever ur background is.

Because the damage cannot be reversed, try inverting your screen colors to see if you can get the other pixels to burn in and equalize. I did about 5 minutes of Google research and saw that the blue pixels burn out the fastest, so trying a negative color should burn the rest of them. Inverting colors can be found in Settings --> Accessibility or (in CM10.1) Settings --> Advanced (under device) --> Screen (tab).

Thanks for the suggestion..
I'm giving that a try, but I imagine it'll be hard to even out ~3 months worth of 4-6+ hour a day usage..

Probably, but it is a fix. Your only other option is to let it continue burning out the pixels as before, without inverting the colors, in the hope that you may be able to RMA/warranty the thing. I guess AMOLED screens are known to have this issue. Call up Sprint or Samsung and see what they will do if the problem gets worse.

Apparently for Samsung's Amoled displays, "enough time" equals ~90 days of several hour a day usage.
I was aware that the display could suffer from burn-in/image retention, but I had no idea it would happen this badly and this quickly.

[Q] Question about super amoled burn-in

this is driving me crazy :| i keep reading stuff about "amoled burn-in" issue and blab blab how it gets the notification bar all screwed up and other stuff
i got myself a "Galaxy tab s LTE T705" wich has samsungs newest super amoled technology
and now that i read all this stuff it scares me :| is it really true ? or its just some issue with old technology
and has been fixed or improved in new devices , anyone with any updated info can help ? thanks
Well, its still possible to get even on the newer ones. I believe they should be improved now as samsungs tab 7.7 didnt do so well. As long as you dont keep your brightness at 100% and are on facebook or a social media app for more then 4-6 hours straight then you should be fine. Watching videos and other stuff shouldnt give you any screen burns. The notification bar is black in which things that are black stay fully black. So that means that it shouldn't burn in from just black or dark colors and saves battery too.
If you want, you can read more on how super amoled works. Something about dark colors does something bla bla bla. But it shouldnt be a problem if you are a movie watcher or web surfer Hope this helps!
Btw i also made a thread on this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3009478
I've never seen this happen ever. And I do and did all the things to excess on my Galaxy S2.
Sent from my Galaxy S5
thanks a lot man , with all you said i dont think if it can happen to me since i'm super duper careful when it comes to my stuff , i always have my brightness on like 20-40% max not cuz of screen burn-in but cuz its totaly enough for me since im suing the device mostly under a roof , and also i have my status bar on auto hide thanks to nova launcher , yea i do play games and watch vids kinda a lot and read stuff on my tablet since the screen is so bloody amazing . all im Q.Qing about is lollipop update for it which will be available soon as i heard ! so yey
Of all the things in the world i worry about amoled burn in isn't one of them! Don't let it ruin your life! Enjoy!

There is no such burn in BUT, there is this ghosting in Tab S 8.4 where, when the brightness is low, and u have anythung on screen, ANYTHING, when u scroll, the blacks show ghosting.
I have tried this in every possible scenario and it shows ghosting of the sceeen. There is also this ghosting kinda thing going on when, agaon , when brightness is low, the drop down notifivatipn bar shows bluish tint same as it was in Galaxy S5. I think this secondroblem os software related cause as i remember it was fixed by samsung. But the ghosting part is issue with all the AMOLEDS. Its still not fixed.
Try yours in low brightness and in some dark room or place, u will see it easily, btw i myself have tried this in 3 different models 3 8.4 and 1 model of 10.5 Tab S

That burn in is really bad. It's got to be a problem with your screen, and not common to all G4s or we'd be seeing others complaining by now.
I've seen phones that bad in stores, but their screens are on all the time. How much screen time have you had with Opera running?
Good thing the provider is replacing it!

hmm not that long troug. if i use opera a while not it disappears almost completely.
use it agian 2 minutes. its bck
and restarting my phone does not help.
removing opera does also not help.
if i got my new phone no opera anymore.
I just can't believe that's from Opera alone. There had to be a problem with the LCD in your phone.
I understand if you don't want to risk it by using Opera anymore but I don't think it'll happen with your new phone.

Lcd on mobile phones normally never get burnins, it's an amoled thingy (samsung phones) and it's an important reason I wont get a note 4 but a G4, so I really hope it was a single defective screen.
Did you try one of the screen retention fix app?
Did you try a factory reset? Call me crazy but it's not normal that a screen burnin doesn't affect white pixels, and it shouldn't do a green stuff, it could be a crazy bug

That's not "backlight leak" or "light bleed" as it's generally called. It's a bad LCD panel.
FYI This is how light bleed on the G4 can look like (It's mine).
I have a new device. So it's solved. But I see more people getting problems with the screen.
That's more likely to be just image retention and not an actual burn in.
Burn in = actual damage since the material gets burnt out than the rest of the other materials in the screen.
Image Retention = the liquid crystals on the LCD haven't fully returned to their original state for the meantime only.
A burn in commonly happens on crt, plasma, oled screens. For the reason that these technologies "burn" a specific material on their screen to produce output. LCD screens like IPS are very less likely to have burn ins but image retention is always possible but not permanent.

So is image retention common, because I've never had this problem until I got the G4 which is my first flagship: every other phone I've had was a budget and never had a problem like this.
I've never had image retention or burn in on any of my LCD phones but have had it on all my OLED/AMOLED phones.

LG used this "Quantum Display" of theirs (A modified type of IPS LCD) which had a different arrangement of pixels and whatnots which would have likely been the reason why image retention was much more common on theirs than other manufacturers' IPS displays, but in return.. the color gamut of their display actually expanded in range and also provided less energy consumption.
Same here LG G4 "screen burnes" all the time!!! - previous screens stay faded over current screens, just like on my old plasma TV... WTF???
I don't know what is screenburn but sometimes I see vertical narrow black stripes popping for a second in the same place, any thoughts what this can be? Is that a faulty display or some software bug, anyone had this issue?
What did other people who had this issue?
Now I'm also having it. Own the phone since ~11month. I recognized it 2 weeks ago, researching the problem. Before I though it would be a graphic error.
Have the plan to write LG about my issue. But have rooted the phone the official way. I must lookt at the LG root condition, I think this is still covered by waranty even with root because of HW issue not caused by root.
BR
I had a image retention issues on my screen (few months ago came from service for bootlooping) AND I have bootloader officially unlocked. And they still changed my display. But I live in Finland EU and we have this mandatory 2 years warranty regardless of rooting the device. Only if they can proof that rooting caused the device to broke then its not covered by this mandatory manufacturer independant warranty.
But image retention or bootlooping aint such a case and they replaced my MB and now my screen.
It just shows how **** the G4 is in case of build quality, I have experienced screenburn and I'm after a bootloop issue as well, so glad my OnePlus 3 is coming at Monday. G4 has a great development and thats why I love it I wouldn't buy ever again.

Pixel XL night light mode very orange

I recently received a refurbished Pixel XL from Google (warranty). The night light mode seems very orange and dark compared to my old one. Is this how it is supposed to be?
No.
The only time I've seen my night light orange was on a custom ROM that I guess had it miscalibrated or using the wrong driver.
Have you tried wiping and updating to the latest firmware yet?
I factory reset and it's up to date. Looks like it's going back.

What is your brightness set at. I can make mine look like that if I turn the brightness down to 25 percent or so. Once my brightness is up to 60 percent or so it looks exactly like the images of it I can find on the web.
It looks different because the camera is not able to pick up the proper exposure, I think its the same as ours. The mode is pretty yellowish/orangish indeed.

That is exactly how mine looks. There is nothing wrong with your device. If you don't like the way it looks perhaps you best not use it. I only use it for notifications at night and not for reading. It's just too dark to read an article. So it looks like your first return was a waste of time since it's not going to change no matter how many times you RMA the device.

Orange Night Light
Has anyone found a solution to this yet besides sending it back, mine had the same issue and the next one they send me was the same way.
Enabling sRGB mode in Developer Options makes Night Light look much less orange on my Pixel XL.
In Android O it gives the option to control the amount of tint you want. On my replacement pixel, the tint isn't as strong as my first one.
Just chiming in, It looks VERY orange to me.
oddly enough after seeing this thread i got three pixels together (from my friends) two XL's and one small to compare them.
The smaller pixel did have a very heavy orange glow compared to both the XL's, but no where close to this.
I have an RMA XL I'm not keeping and sending back, orangeness is identical to my current XL.
Howdy y'all, just to chime in on this for those who are still interested/find this via a search:
I first noticed this on my dad's refurbished xl some time ago, because mine (got it back when the phone first launched) didn't look anything like that.
Just today I got a refurbished xl from Google, and it has the same very orange nightlight.
So it seems that the refurbished ones have this problem, not sure why perhaps hardware issue?
As mentioned, a fix is to enable sRGB in dev option as that makes it look more Amber like it's supposed to, or just turn the nightlight intensity down.
Mainly though I'm curious what is up with this and why the refurbs are different?

(survey) different shade on screen upper part than lower

hello friends,
I am having weird issue from yesterday.
my phone was too hot while charging and i was gaming.
I felt that colors are shifted too much on upper part where device heat.
then i tested with screen tester app, all colors were looking fine, but when dark gray comes, there was warm shade on upper part and cool shade on lower part.
I thought this will recover after device cool down, but now 1 day passed, 90% screen recovered but 10% still remain different.
I am going to RMA this and did not expected this from oneplus, oneplus 7 still far better in display department..
.
you guys, please test this as I mentioned above and reply here.

then i tested with screen tester app, all colors were looking fine, but when dark gray comes, there was warm shade on upper part and cool shade on lower part.
I thought this will recover after device cool down, but now 1 day passed, 90% screen recovered but 10% still remain different.
I am going to RMA this and did not expected this from oneplus, oneplus 7 still far better in display department..
.
you guys, please test this as I mentioned above and reply here.

tested 2 hours fortnite - epic settings with charger.
nothing happens
maybe cool down the 10% with some ice? but be carefull - maybe a "frostshock" recover the damaged displaypart.
if not, rma.
Yeah I have a little bit of that as well. It comes and goes on mine. It was much worse when I first got the phone. I was checking off the bat because I had the same (but much much worse) on the pixel 4.
Many MANY people have the same issue, enable DC Dimming in the OnePlus Laboratory to fix this
I decided to return my handset to retailer.
Great device, the smoothest i've ever used with huge potential for future development, but this panel is bit disappointing. I mean in normal light conditions it's so pretty you don't miss qhd at all. Once you step into dark room you can forget about dark theming.

It does fix the issue but then the contrast sucks. I just decided to deal with it. Hopefully it's fixed in a future update because overall I love this phone.
I am afraid it's hw issue.

Does anyone of you try RMA ?
Maybe they have updated panels from oem if this issue is too widespread.
Had same experience with poco with touchpanel. 1st novatek touch panels were worse in touch response, then they replaced it with focaltek touch panels for newer batches.
Yeah maybe they should but mine is barely noticeable. If yours bugs you then return it for sure but mine is barely noticeable.
