      My mom started noticing “strange letters” on all the photos and screenshots she took. She sent me a photo of a blank wall asking if it’s some fingerprinting or anti copy mechanism or something. I just saw a blank wall.

      Yeah well her keyboard burnt into the screen. It was very funny for her to try and essentially “screenshot” OLED burn in for me.

    My ex girlfriend’s name and the Skype logo are burned into my old galaxy s3, from where we used to video call all night long.

    my oled moves the pic unnoticably by 10px in all 4 directions, which may clip a bit but prevent burn in. Android status bar does it too btw.

      I just spent the last 5 minutes staring at my status bar. Never noticed this before but I’m sure I’m seeing it move in a square pattern now. How cool! I just hope I’ll be able to stop noticing it 😁

      Mine does something similar but there’s simply more pixels for it to float around in, so nothing clips. It’s a 3440x1440 display, but the actual physical screen is something like 3460x1460 so the image can shift without clipping.

      Mine too, it is kinda annoying with a terminal full screen because it crops at least half the first character when it is shifted left, and I use It it in full screen 100% of the time. But still not annoying enough for me to do anything about it.

      I guess is also a releave every time I noticed, it means my OLED is fine.

      Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

      Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.
