Screen burn in from Waze

[CrackedLCD]

I've already gotten burn in from other apps so whenever my Galaxy S Super AMOLED screen shows greys, it's all kinds of crazy. But I agree on making the buttons transparent, moving or just activated on touch like the zoom and compass buttons.

I've modified my screen colours to highlight roads, so I expect even more burn-in from having bright yellow and white roads against a dark grey background.

But this phone only has a few more months before the contract is up, and I'm jumping ship to something newer on a different carrier, so I am not sweating the details.

I just noticed that the 2 main buttons for Waze (Navigate/Report) have been burnt into my screen. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 which uses a Super Amoled screen and I had to find out the hard way that these screens suffer from burn in when you leave the same image on the screen for a prolongued time.

Since the 2 buttons are the only things static on the waze screen I was wondering if the waze devs could implement an option to disable these 2 buttons untill I touch the screen.

I use Waze daily, on commutes sometimes taking more than 2 hours. So for now I will disable the screen on my phone, but it would be nice if Waze could implement something to prevent this, so other people don´t ruin their expensive phone like I did.

Second that...
Same burn-in on my galaxy Nexus.

Either have the buttons move around or as mentioned above, only show on command.

And make the buttons darker, or semi transparent.

I run my nexus in night mode all the time, and have the background color set to 0 (default is greyish) to save power.

Do we have any confirmation from waze developers, that they are working on this?
This is an critical issue, and probably quite easy to fix!

Step 1: make buttons and other static information semi transparent.
Step 2: make static info appear on command.

A simple "burn in protection" options to enable.
