Is the AOD image supposed to move around? Mine hasn't moved once since I bought the phone, and I've heard it might. I'm just trying to see if I need to turn it off because of a bug. I'd rather not have this image for good!
Mine doesn't move either. For kicks, I boxed it in with sticky notes and it hasn't moved. Turning it off, I guess. Hopefully, they will update the app to address it like they did with the S7's.

Mine doesn't. If you check about on the app what version do you have?
Mine is 2.6.49 and doesn't move at all.
S8+ T-Mobile and mine moves every time the screen locks.
Mine moves also, didn't really pay attention to it till just now

I've been watching it like a hawk. I think it only moves when I put it in my pocket, lay it face down or cycle the screen. I don't want to turn ont he phone yet, but ill check the version after I give it an hour or 2 to sit

Its supposed to move every few mins to avoid burn in. If it only moves when you open the phone, or flip it over etc, leaving it on all night long and having it sit in the same spot will lead to burn in. The S7E moves about every 5 mins to a different location to avoid this burn in.
It's now working!
I just took an OTA from T-mobile. It brought the AOD version up to 2.6.71 and I can confirm it is moving around now. Excellent. Thank you guys for the feedback.
It looks like I may be incorrect. It now moves when I turn the screen on or off, but doesn't seem to be moving in general.
Not moving for me aswell :/ guess i'll keep it deactivated until this is resolved somehow...
Mine seems to be moving, though doesn't seem as often as on S7.
I think it only moves a few pixels every now and then so its not visible. Before it was jumping around very noticeable and people were complaining about that so Samsung changed it to only move around very very minimal.
I use Sideclock AoD on my S8+. I don't think that this is moving. Do I have to be afraid of burning in?
It shifts a few pixels from time to time.
Other times it jumps around like the S7 (less frequently).
Seems intended, no issue.
If your AOD choice image is keeping the same pixels lit the same color over an extended period of time (moving a few pixels at a time theory), wouldn't that also burn the screen? Example: If my AOD image is 500 pixels high and is moving 1 pixel downward every 5 minutes, the bottom most pixel would be lit for ~ 42 hours before the end of your image reached that spot.
I mean this burn in issue would be for a long period of time - even if it moved every 10 minutes you'd be fine. People read things on their phone for longer and that doesn't cause burn in. It's usually hours of the same static image

I honestly don't know about that. I boxed mine in with sticky notes for 90 mins and not once did any area that I boxed in shift under the sticky note. It didn't move a bit.
I would worry more about the home button. I removed it under display settings. It can still be used but it's just not visible.

I am more concern about the touch screen problem. Not the Multitouch one, but the one about the touch screen goes crazzzy (seriously a phone that is operate completely by touch screen and the touch screen is not reliable??? what the heck is Google/HTC thinking?). That is the main thing that is keeping me from this phone.

Every day or so ill turn the phone on where the top half of the screen wil be fine, but the bottom half will be out of calibration by about an inch. I'll feel the vibrate from the Buttons at the bottom when im clearly about an inch about them. Reboot fixes

i must be one of the few people who are lucky as well. I don't have the screen calibration error. Every blue moon the wrong spot will light up but i just have to press it again, no need to exit out of app or reset. I've only had my n1 for a 1 1/2 months, i was not one of the early adopters, if that means anything.
Also, no screen calibration issues. Hope the new OTA opens up the rest of the N1 Ram!

The only screen issue I have is when I am using the phone via BlueTooth and need to Mute the phone.. when I hit the Mute button, it presses the 0 button instead. I just have to hit power to turn off the screen for a few seconds and turn it on and it works as expected again.

According to Google help forum, there are about 2000 posts, some are just back and fore, but even then it still come to a sizable #, most of them done like 4 -5 exchanges and still have the problem.

Well I must have very bad luck because this is my second N1 with the problem.Return the first one 00 because the screen craziness and receive a new one 01 (different badge) and also has the problem.But I'm keeping this one,anyway is rooted already and notices is better way better,but the problem still here,but just ,put it to sleep and wake-up and fix it.I don't know the cause of this if software or hardware but definitely not everybody has it.I downloaded a drawing app from the market and I can see that when the problem I touch someplace near the middle of the screen and it recognized the touch as a straight line all the way to the bottom.

This poll is an attempt to quantify the precise type of known faults found on the Nexus 7
Mods have kindly agreed to make this a sticky.
The hope is that this poll will help newcomers to the forum see immediately that their fault is a known issue and that they are not alone.
If you see anyone posting in the Nexus 7 forums with a fault with their new device please point them to this poll.
Hopefully in a month or two there will be some useful data on the type and frequency of faults.
Accurate figures may help people make a decision as to whether to buy a device and may help with people's warranty claims.
I had to ask a mod to clean up this thread because of the eejit trolls.
Less than three hours later and we have another troll too thick to read the poll and vote accordingly. Or not as the case may be.
PLEASE read this post and the post below BEFORE asking can X be added or why isn't Y an option.
I am unable to add any other options to the poll and I don't want to mither a mod to do it.
The questions are there. If they do not apply to you don't vote, don't ask for the poll to be changed, move on.
If you are having issues with your Nexus7, please indicate what they are by filling out the poll - there is no need for people to comment or start complaining, that's not what this thread is for and there are plenty of other places where you can post to express your unhappiness.
If you're fortunate enough not to be having any problems with your Nexus7 then there's no need for you to get involved with this thread at all.
The poll does not now and never will have a 'None of the above' option because that is not it's intended purpose and because that is not it's purpose, there is no reason for you to post in this thread either.

I have the same problem too. I also have some black slant lines on screen.
I think it's important to add to the OP that before one votes, they should have a couple of days of heavy usage. What I mean by heavy usage is having used it enough to the point where it literally gets hot, not just once but a good number of times. This seems to cause screen lift/looseness rather quickly. I'm on my second Nexus 7, and in 10 days, I already have screen lift and creaks.
Also, does anyone have a link to the newest revisions? Or is C9O still the latest? Maybe we should also create an accurate list.

I have a C80 and been beating mine around for a couple weeks now, including overclocking it (unnecessarily) and playing intense video games. It also has been bumping along in my bicycle pannier. I'm not even sure what you are talking about, is the glass coming out of the metal strip or is the entire metal strip lifting up. My glass is actually slightly below the level of the metal all around and no sign of any movement whatsoever.
On the other hand, my wifi is rather questionable. It has dropped off a few times even when I am close to the router. At other times it seems to be working great, but I don't think it connects to wifi as well as my cell phone.

I was having an issue with auto-brightness. Which I believe is on by default, but I turned off at some point to see how bright/dim the screen would go.
When I turned auto-brightness on again, the screen went completely black (i.e. 0 brightness) even in a fully lit room. This happened a couple of times, so it wasn't just a fluke.
Obviously I thought the screen had turned off so hit the power button to turn the screen back on, but inadvertently locking it. Touch was still fully working, and navigating to the brightness setting without a screen to reset it was _not_ fun.
I have a C70 Nexus 7, it was working greatly with no issues when i un-boxed it, and continued to do so for a month. Yesterday when i tried to play some videos through the speaker, i realized the speaker had blown out (aka. Crackling speaker). Going to try to talk to support to see what they can do, especially since i'm outside US.
Hello. C90 here and a slight but perceivable screen lift on the left. So, no improvement in the quality assurance department in the last few months.
my nexus blocked in the "oppen apps" menu i tryed to turn it off and i cant... what should i do can anyone help?
Thanks for the thread, it helped checking some things. My N7 has none of them, but often (every 20-30 minutes) freezes+restarts, I hope it's just software problem and if I get this list here right then it's most likely is(?)
Or is it a common N7 hardware fault which causes often freeze/restart (mostly with flickering white stripes all over the screen before the restart)? Googled but didn't find many threads related to that, just solutions how to restart.

I bought my Moto X around the end of September and about two weeks after getting it, I had a screen burn-in from the notification bar and navigation bar. I let Motorola know and they happily replaced it. However few weeks after owning the second one I experienced the issue again and I let them know. They told me they were stunned and that I was literally the only person who had reported the issue.
What I am wondering is if anyone else has experienced this. I know it is a common problem with AMOLEDs, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I saw burn in on a display model at Best Buy. It was the big Motorola M logo that displays at the boot animation. If you looked at a white web page or any solid, but light colored image, you could see the ghostly circle the size of a quarter complete with the swishy M in the middle of the screen. Got them to open a second demo model and boot it up so I could see a clean screen and bring it to their attention. Weird thing to have burned in, too.

Op did you leave both phones display on for 2weeks straight at 100% brightness? Lol
I have had mine for 2 months, do at least 4 hours sot daily, most of which is on reddit and xda, so nav and status are almost always static... I have zero sign of burn in.
I had it pretty good on my s3, but I blame ingress for that... Being outside playing so much and had it at 100% brightness because that screen was so dark... Even then it took at least 2 months before I saw any burn in and I was playing A LOT!
Can't imagine how you would get burn in on two devices, each in two weeks... Seems like that's a feat that you have to try and do, lol.

I'd be hard pressed to believe this as well... I've had numerous amoled devices and abused the crap out of them and even then, it took months to get any sort it noticeable burn in... If it were one device then I wouldn't second guess it, chalk it up to manufacture defect... But two in a row? I'm curious as to what the op uses his phones for and if he ever turns off the screens... Even store display models take a while to get burn in and they are on 3-4 times as much as a typical power user.

I'll have to send you a pic of my GNex then, so you can see the perfect "ghost" of a Pandora logo in the middle of the screen from running the display full time in my car dock.
I also remember similar complaints when the GNex first came out, of people claiming they were getting burn-in on the notification bar area, and I thought they were ridiculous at the time. Now, not so much.
It happened to my gnex, so I'm not surprised that it happened on this phone too.
I'm not saying you're faking it, but 2 weeks is a little too soon for it to be happening. The gnex only had the issue after a year or so. Are you keeping the display on all the time when charging or something?
They will eventually burn in if you set the screen to never time out and leave it displaying the same thing for hours or days on end. Most store models have some level of burn it. In normal use cases it should never be an issue though.

Just passing by, but 2 weeks is entirely possible.
If you keep using the phone with the notification bar displayed and then two weeks later open a full screen browser, you will most likely notice burn in if you look close enough.
It's extremely easy to do.
I bought an S3 from ebay with real bad screen burn in (that the seller didn't mention). She actually didn't believe me and accused me of scamming her until I replied back with a contact name and number that was burned into the top of the screen from the messaging app (the keyboard was also burned in, I guess she constantly texted this person).
I think burn in is more likely to happen when brightness is higher. I had a GNex and GS3 that never got any sort of burn in but I also rarely had the brightness above 50%.
you know, now that I look, I have it too. It's faint, and I thought it was from the Nova Launcher beta, but ****, this is screen burn in. Damn.
---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------
I don't even use my phone that much. Generally around 1.5 or 2 hours screen time per day. Brightness is about half. Kinda crazy.
Recommend using an app such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.feetstech.screenburn&hl=en
to minimize this. Most plasma TV's have something like this built in as they are also prone to burn-in. Use it for 10 minutes every once in a while (even if you don't see burn in) and it should prevent it.
I got screen burn in on my S4 after 2 months. But I also blame ingress for that. I have a X coming and hope to minimize that by not playing ingress so much or play on another device. One thing that I do for the status bar to help out is with nova launcher I have it set to swipe the notification bar on top away. I try to leave it off the screen as much as possible. But yes amoled screens suck for burn in.
I usually turn my phone to the 270 degree position to have the navigation bars switch sides every now and then. That helps a bit.
And with AMOLEDs, it's more important to turn off the screen when not in use rather than let it time out. I have mine set to 10 minutes, but I usually manually turn off the screen because I know AMOLEDs are prone to burn-in over time.
I've got some incredibly bad screen burn with the whole bottom 2 thirds of screen gone yellow and I'm returning phone to Samsung in the freepost envelope they sent but has anyone had experience dealing with Samsung with this to know what to expect?
Doubt they'll replace it under warranty for burn-in, such is the way of the beast with AMOLED screens if you leave the same thing on the screen constantly, but good luck
How did it even became like that? I had an amoled TV for years and it didn't even exhibit this problem even when it's on most of the day...

Leaving the same image on the screen constantly, with a TV, the picture is always moving, if OP uses a certain app 24/7, like facebook or something, the majority of that image remains the same, sidebar, top bar, etc etc, only text changes
Basically we're back to the old green screen issues and why we ended up with screensavers on PCs
EDIT - In fact it looks like touchwiz launcher is partially responsible, along with the top notification bar, my guess is OP sets screen timeout to highest, and keeps the screen on the same thing constantly through the day, full brightness likely too

hence the reason they wont fix it cause its his fault.
and were assumi9ng the reason the android tv didnt do it is because it didnt use amoled
I do use full brightness and most of the use is from Chrome browser and Youtube but the screen is set to a 2 minute timeout so certainly isn't left alone for long periods.
So I'm not using the phone in any abnormal way that would go against any usage terms that maybe in the warranty, and the really dark burning in the middle by any standard could be said the phone is no longer fit for purpose because it's well beyond any acceptable wear and tear.
Just been on the phone to Samsung and they said clearly that the warranty does cover this so soon as I get the chance I'll either go to the Local Samsung store or post it in.
Thanks for the update. Definitely not normal and using your phone is not grounds for disregarding the warranty. Brightness is there to use. There is no disclaimer stating you can harm your phone by making your screen too bright. Where do people get this stuff?
This is the first time since my Nexus 1 that I've seen any phone with burn in. Thought we were all past that.

Well done Michael P. I have the same issue on my 10 month old Galaxy S7 Edge. I use Google Maps constantly for business purposes, and now have screen burn. Despite Pilot's sarcastic answer, not every one is a super geek with a pre-existing knowledge of Amoled screen inner workings. My BSc degree and Masters were in other subjects, and screen technology has never interested or bothered me. When I buy a product I expect it to work perfectly for at least a year. A clear warning when buying the product saying "do not leave on a static screen for more than X amount of minutes" would have caused me to educate myself on the pitfalls of S7 screens, and Samsung would not be forking get out to send me a new phone free of charge.
I have the same problem

I hope I'm writing in the right place, but I've had the same problem since a few months after buying my S7 edge. I keep my screen at 50% & have a 2 min timeout that I never use. I always turn my phone off when I'm done... force of habit. The top of the screen dimmed greatly at first and then almost immediately after, I've had this ghost keyboard. Ugh. I'm a photog, so editing is a nightmare. I didn't buy the warranty & my 2 yr contract is almost up. I've had this issue for well over a year & had no idea I could do anything. I'm guessing it's too late to complain. I've been so mad about this darn phone for so long. Such a huge disappointment for such an enormous expense. I'm not a phone junkie, but I do use whatsapp quite a bit to talk to my husband when he's away. I have pictures but I'm new and can't find the button to post them. It sure would be nice to get a new phone. I hate this issue. It drives me crazy. I'm sorry to all who are stuck with this yucky problem. Thank you for letting me rant. Have a blessed day, everyone.

When I worked at Best Buy, the LG 4K OLED TVs would get some serious burn-in from the demo video we had looping constantly. The LG rep told us to throw a flash drive in the TV and have it display a totally white screen for a few hours. We did it overnight and it worked. I suppose it's worth a shot on your phone, I'm sure there's an app for it. Overnight probably isn't necessary but a few hours should do.
Either way I'd try to RMA it because itll most likely happen again.
Just RMA'd through VZW, for burn in. Hopefully they send one prior to the 7.1.1 update, so I'm able to unlock the bootloader.
I automatically run a screen burn-in tool for 90 minutes everyday while I'm sleeping. I've had this phone since its release and not a bit of burn-in. I do it so I don't have to take the chance of having to get a VZW replacement that I might not be able to unlock.

Burn in is caused by leds being used more than the leds around them. By running a burn in tool you are just prematurally aging all your leds to try to make them match. Overall your just ending up with a dimmer display.

Guess you can finally sell the "piece of **** phone" for more than half price now.
I'll buy it from you for $1 over half price.

definitely will sell it for more than full price now. Since the 128gb is still out of stock everywhere

Earlier last month my volume buttons stopped working. I just received a replacement for my Pixel XL yesterday, it came with the original 7.1 on it. I was able to unlock the bootloader and root without issues. Although as soon as the phone booted up and activated it downloaded 7.1.1 and wanted to update, I turned it off immediately and unlocked and flashed a google stock rom.
Same burn in issue here on my Pixel XL from launch day.. Just got a replacement last week for it. May be going overboard, but on the new one I am using navbar apps, screen brightness at 50%, adaptive brightness set to on, gmd immersive app running to control most of my apps that give me the most on screen time which makes the status bar and navbar go away during this time.. Hoping it won't happen again - pretty frustrating to say the least..
I've had mine since launch and can't see any burn in at all. I've always left my phone at 50% with auto. I use it outside fine with these settings.

I'm lost here, what's a burn in tool? What purpose does it serve? What's the name of the App you use? I might need to bookmark that for later in case it happens to mine...

I've heard a lot of crazy things but I think this takes the cake. Forget it, you'll never need it and it won't do jack. By the time you get burn in you'll have a Pixel 4.
