Inspired by an earlier post today, I though I'd help you guys out.

This guide will help you enable or disable burn-in protection on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra using ADB and SetEdit. Burn-in protection helps prevent screen burn-in on OLED displays by slightly shifting pixels over time.

Step 1: Install SetEdit

Before using ADB, you need to install SetEdit (Settings Database Editor):
📥 Download SetEdit from the Play Store:
👉 SetEdit - Settings Database Editor

1. Install the app on your phone.
2. Open SetEdit and select "Global Table" from the top menu.

Step 2: Enable USB Debugging on Your Phone

1. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information.
2. Tap Build number 7 times to enable Developer Options.
3. Go back to Settings > Developer options.
4. Enable USB Debugging.

Step 3: Set Up ADB on Your PC

1. Download ADB (Android Debug Bridge):
   • 📥 Download Platform Tools (ADB)
   • Extract the platform-tools folder.
2. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
   • Select "File Transfer" mode when prompted.
3. Open a Command Prompt or Terminal:
   • Windows: Open the platform-tools folder, hold Shift, right-click, and select "Open PowerShell/Terminal here".
   • Mac/Linux: Open a terminal and navigate to the platform-tools folder:cd /path/to/platform-tools

Step 4: Check if ADB Recognizes Your Device

Run the following command:

adb devices

If your device is listed, ADB is connected. If prompted on your phone, allow USB debugging.

Step 5: Grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS Permission to SetEdit

Now, run this command:

adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

⚠️ If you get "package not found", run this command to find the correct package name:

adb shell pm list packages | findstr setedit

(For macOS/Linux, use grep instead of findstr.)
If the package name is different (e.g., by4a.setedit instead of by4a.setedit22), modify the command accordingly.

Step 6: Change the Burn-In Protection Setting

1. Open SetEdit on your phone.
2. Select "Global Table" from the top menu.
3. Scroll down and find burn_in_protection.
   • If it doesn’t exist, you may need to create it manually.
4. Tap on it and set the value to:
   • 1 = Enabled (Recommended, prevents screen burn-in)
   • 0 = Disabled (Not recommended, may cause burn-in over time)
5. Save the change and restart your phone.

Step 7: Verify the Setting

Once your phone reboots:

• Check if burn-in protection is still set to 1 in SetEdit.
• Use your phone as usual.

Should You Keep Burn-In Protection Enabled?

✅ Yes, it’s safer for your OLED screen.
✅ Prevents permanent screen burn-in by shifting pixels slightly over time.
✅ Reduces brightness on static UI elements (like the status bar).

You can disable it (0), but be careful—burn-in cannot be reversed once it happens.

That’s it! You’ve now successfully managed burn-in protection on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra using ADB and SetEdit.
