burn in

[joeeboogz]

I bought pixel xl second hand. Its unlocked u.s.a variant. When I got it it was on November 2017 stock 8.0. Navy bar was fine and I never turned screen brightness up. I was aware of the burn in issues before I bought device. So I got it home after a few days decided to flash latest stock image which was DEC 8.1. After a week or so I started to notice it. The dreaded burn in Nav bar. That I'm aware of the guy I bought it from paid cash from best buy and had no warrenty. Is their a fix or solution. Thanks I'm guessing their isent but if somebody had this issue and fixed plz kindly gimme some suggestions. Thanks

I've had this issue for quite some time, I had to RMA one Pixel XL for it, which Google replaced after me sending it over to Germany (UK here). I have just decided to live with it, and will be replacing the phone in October for 2018's iteration. Given that screen burn in was such a big issue with the Pixel XL 2 - I am hoping that Google learn from this, maybe even allow full immersive mode to users in settings.

Downside to an AMOLED just don't leave the display on for long periods of time and you'll avoid it if it gets really bad only option is to RMA

In my opinion that shouldn't happen, or Google should implement a feature to allow immersive mode by default.

Weird thing was when I bought it it was on 8.0 Nov release as soon as I unlocked bootloader and updated to 8.1 within 2 weeks it happened and the guy I got it from had phone for about 4 months with no issues.
