Should I worry about Burn-in? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Should I worry about it?
Is there any "safe length of time" of keeping the screen on before you can get a burn in?
Rumor says someone kept his Tab 7.7 switched on overnight (probably charging) and he got his screen burnt-in
Now im trying to limit each usage to 15mins, then ill try to "refresh" my screen by tilting it or enter sleep mode
Thanks

Try keeping the screen on lowest brightness and hiding the status bar because it's static, you can do this with stupidIdea's Gmd hidebar application. Beside's that you should be fine and i dont see why you would have to use it for short period's.

I have this experience due to incorrect third-party screenlock app setting, but I didn't get any permanent burn-in on the screen.
Burn-in is usually a result of setting the screen to max brightness after prolonged period of time. Therefore it is a good practice to set the screen timeout for less than 5 minutes, and turn on adaptive brightness control (never push the screen to maximum brightness and forget about it like I usually do after watching movie and falling asleep).

I would worry about burn-in only if u forgot to use sunscreen

[Q] I need help with my tablet draining battery too quickly

Hi, I'm having a serious issue here. I unplugged my Transformer from my charger about about 11am today. I have used it, according to the screen on time in the settings, for 34 minutes. (it's now about twelve hours later.) However, the battery life is at 64%. I just don't understand this. My wi-fi is set to disconnect when screen turns off, and brightness is at about 55-60%. But look at this.

Does anybody have a clue what could be going on? If you need more information about what state it is in, I'll be glad to provide more details. It seems like this started after I updated to 3.2, but that could be unrelated.
After updating did you set up the wifi power saving again? There is a bug in android where this setting gets reset when the device is rebooted

Yeah, I double checked when I posted this and it was still on "when screen turns off".
Try using juice defender. And check your running services/applications/auto sync cuz i see there alot of wifi actifity and your device is awaken even though the screen is off.
You could try using an app called Sysem Panel by NextApp.
You will need the paid version so that you can turn on the Monitoring option in the settings - this allows you to monitor the CPU usage over 2h/8h/1d/3d.
You can also monitor Top App usage of CPU which is fantastic for identifying the culprit.

SW2 disable sleep / standby mode

Is there a way to disable sleep or standby mode on the sw2? I like how android wear is always on and I want that. I realize battery life will suffer but I just want to look at my watch to see it without having to turn it on.
Thanks

You can... What do you mean?

I would also be interested in this. Standby is too dim for my liking.
SW2 is alway ON with transflective mode (monochome) . Standby only when no movement so never when you wear it.
It have a mode with light ON and display color when press power or tap the case.

Yeah I'd like something similar where the watch was lit all the time without press, but I guess it's not possible.
It is always like picture 2.
It light up like picture 1 when press power or tap the watch. It is not possible to stay in mode light without drain the batterie in a few hours, maybe 8 hours.
But some app/watchface (the old and those for SW1) can stay in mode light.

[APP][4.0.3+] Netflix Sleep Timer

Beta on the Play Store
What does it do?
It acts as a sleep timer for the Netflix app, putting it to sleep after a set period of time.
How does it work?
It works by initially lowering the volume and brightness of your display, so you don't get awoken by the sudden silence if you're using it at night. It then closes the Netflix app, puts your display to sleep (by changing the display timeout to it's lowest setting), then puts all your settings (volume etc) back to their original values. Job done.
Why does it need permission to modify system settings?
Two reasons:
It needs this permission to be able lower the screens brightness to gently sleep the Netflix app.
To turn your device off afterwards, the technical choices were either a, set the timeout to the lowest level and let the device put itself to sleep, or b, request device admin permissions to allow the app to manually turn off your screen... I don't know about you but I'm not too keen on giving apps admin access to my device
Known issues
There is currently no way to interrupt the app, so if it triggers at the set time, you just have to wait for it to finish - This will be resolved in the next release.
Just found out the app beta didn't actually publish so no one could download it ??
My bad.. It's up now (link in OP) ?

Power-saving feature | How to completely disable?

Having a very annoying issue with my 5 II where it does not show the correct time on the ambient display. It can be over an hour or two behind sometimes, specially at night, but sometimes during the day as well. I figured might have something to do with a battery saving option somewhere so I went through the settings and turned everything possible off.
In the Battery usage setting page both Screen and Ambient Display are on top naturally and both have "Power-saving feature" Applied. When I tap on it to change it loads a long list of apps, most of which also have the feature applied. However, there is no Screen and there's no Ambien Display in either list where I could change the setting to Excepted instead of Applied. So I went one by one and disabled the feature on all the apps in the list, but unfortunately Screen and Ambient Display still show that the feature is applied.
Where can I change this setting? How do I disable Power-Saving feature completely? Am I even looking at the right things to solve this issue?
Thank you

To solve the ambient display notifications + clock lag, please try this:
Settings - Display - Lock screen preferences - Ambient display - When to show Ambient display - select "Smart activation"
This is something that happens on many phones, including Google Pixel 2 XL.
This setting prevents deep-sleep for ambient display.

Wake screen for notifications

Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list
