Ok guys, I think I have found a way to fix the burn in on the moto x for the navigation bar and status bar. There is this app called screen diagnostic where it will have a fullscreen image to make the status bar white and reverse the colors of the navigation bar. But there may still be burn in on the status bar because the icons are white and the status bar is white with the app. That's where you guys will come in handy. We need people of every carrier who are rooted with gravity box installed to take a screen shot of there phone on nova launcher with no dock and no icons with a black wallpaper with the status bar and navigation bar on the negative colors. Then we need those people to share it here and we can use the screenshot with the app! Boom! burn-in fixed for people who don't want to root!

I use Screen Burn-in Tool, which is made for AMOLED screens. Using all white wears out the organic materials used in AMOLEDs, especially the blue pixels.

Watch more porn or movies/shows (Netflix/Hulu) or YouTube - anything full screen with moving images.

How real of an issue is this with normal use? I've never noticed any burn in on any prior AMOLED screens, but I also never leave my screens on for hours at a time.

I use my GNex as an alarm clock now. Screen is set to never go off. Holy hell is it awful now haha.

I fired up my Nexus again after using the Moto X for about a week, and holy crap that screen was almost painful to look at. It's got a nice big Pandora "P" burned into the middle of the screen from having it docked in the car with the screen always on.

Only phone I ever had with AMOLED was the GNex. I never really had my screen on for too long either but over a year the status bar and nav bar had burn in issues. It wasn't really noticeable unless you were made aware of it. I would imagine they have gotten better at it but it is simply good to be proactive about it, especially when you are considering keeping the phone upwards of 2 years as a daily driver.
