My S8's screen got burned, has yours? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I left my AOD on overnight by accident and i regret it so much, I actually burned in the home button that is shown on the AOD. It's supposed to move around but I guess it doesn't work ver gym well. I can't use any apps that get rid of screen burn for nav bars because nothing else but the home button is shown, and you can't have invert colors on in conjunction with AOD. Is there any way to fix this?

Return it to Samsung is probably your best option. Not sure burn-in can be repaired without replacingg the screen itself.

Faint Black patches on right edge of screen (brand new tab)

About 4 to 5 of them appear only on right edge (portrait mode) after an hour or so of usage. Can make it go away by toggling screen brightness using Power Control.
Feels like some backlighting circuitry got turned off. Its faint; you won't see it unless you have white background.
Is this a defective screen or just something wrong with my settings?

Screen flicker/noise on lock screen

Screen noise/flicker upon turning screen on
Upon turning on the screen, there is a slight flicker/staticy looking noise. Toward the bottom of my lock screen. It's easily replicated, but it doesn't do it every time.
I just want to know if it seems like a defect or it could easily be fixed by an update. Motorola might not even know about it yet.
Yeah mine does it sometimes, but not all the time

I'm getting that too.
I filmed mine in slow motion when this happens on it and it appears to be an android software bug. It flashes the home screen then pulls up the latest app or vice versa. its so fast it looks like its just noise though.
you guys sure you didnt turn on the option for it to make a noise on unlock?
Are you guys or anyone else having this problem while being rooted? Because, I only started noticing this problem after I rooted
It happened to me before being rooted, if I had Moto Display on it never showed, it was only until switching to Ambient Display, or to neither Moto or Ambient Display that it started showing up.
Always running Notification
May be because of any always running notification. I too had same problem. Then I uninstalled the app that always used to have a notification running. Now the problem seems to be less frequent or not anymore.

Proxity sensor turns phone screen on

If my phone is flat, facing up, and I walk near it or wave my hands over it, the screen turns on. Not sure if this is an Android MM issue or a setting within the phone but I want to turn that off. Any ideas?
Turn it off? It's such a great feature that Google straight up ripped it off from Moto...
Bit anyways...open the "Moto" app and look under gestures

LOL, it spooks the sh1t out of me. Like its on the desk next to me while I'm working and I'll look at it and its like "oh, you must want to know the time".
its one of the main features of this phone and its predecessors, and a big reason why myself and others would buy a motorola phone . Its called ambient display and it takes the place of a notification light by turning on at regular intervals when you have a notification like a text message. It will also turn on when you get close, or when you pull it out of your pocket, so you can see if you have any notifications or just check the time. since its an AMOLED screen, its only turns on the pixels of the white font, and any black area is "off", so it doesnt completely wake your device every time and kill your battery. its a very useful feature and i would suggest giving it a shot. if you get used to it, its super handy
Moto gestures are one of my main reasons to get a moto device. That and I can have nice hardware without Touchwiz. Love the 3500mah battery in my force.

Screen burned?

So, I use a lot the Waze app and today's morning I noticed a "donut" shaped "ghost" on my screen, I tried to think what could be the reason for that and when I opened waze I noticed there's a orange round button on the lower right side of the screen, exactly the same spot the ghost is......
So, my screen is screwed now? There's a way to get rid of it?
Right now is just visible on white backgrounds on medium brightness, I'll try to post a photo later

2nd screen keeps disappearing.

So far I hard reset my phone 2x to get it working because my 2nd screen won't stay on after main screen is off. I do even get notifications. I have the settings to stay on. .. not sure what's going in with phone...even my quick charging stopped working. Miss my note 4

Mine goes off if the phone isn't being used. I think it's normal.

Make sure you're not covering the ambient light sensor on your phone. It's right in the upper left hand corner next to the front camera. (To test, with the main screen off and second screen on, If you cover the sensor with your finger on a normally working V20, after a few seconds the second screen should shut off.)
So my guess is if you're sure your Settings are set up correctly, you probably have a faulty or miscalibrated ambient light sensor on your device that's shutting the second screen off, and you should either find a way to re-calibrate the sensor or get your device replaced.

The time should stay on and the notifications should stay on to tell u that you have a message.

Same here, what's latest update?
Hi man, I've been searching thru forums all day. Basically, I have the same issues, 1. Not fast charging (only usb-charging) 2. Second screen off when screen is off (despite the settings are set not to)
I'm on the edge of hard factory reset with very limited hopes and my ultimate guess is this is a motherboard issue.
Have you been able to fix yours?
Second screen stays off.!
Yesterday, I was working to upgrade the apps, and install some missing bloated apps by LG Electronics ltd. through the web server, i.e. apkmirror and I don't know exactly what happened. My LG V20 (LS997) Second screen stays off just apparently showing with dark ambient display that is useless at all. The display only shows with media contents by setting up with 'More' as well, and not work even all.
Fixed!! I had the same problem when every time I enabled second screen it would disappear. After looking everywhere I was able to fix it by going to the battery saver settings and pressing on the 'battery saver' option under 'power saving'. Then press 'edit mode'. Make sure 'block use of second screen' is unchecked. That should stop it from being disabled.
