AMOLED, DataFields and Burn In - Grid Lines

I've supported Venu that is the first AMOLED device and am worried about Burn in issues. How do I go about drawing things like Titles and Grid Lines which are basically always on?

How much should I be concerned about it as well as how should I go about doing it?

I see that Garmin's Native App (like Run / Bike etc) also has labels and grid lines. Are they doing something different, turning on/off pixels?

Thanks

so.. basically just do as normal and ignore any possible burn in? The User Experience guide doesn't exaclty has anything about Grid Lines and all that. If a user runs a data field for an ultra marathon, nothing specific needs to be done except have all the background in black?

I have the same question. I'm looking to support epix2 in 2 of my datafields, but I don't want users coming back to me saying "your datafield has caused burn in on my $1500 device - fix it!". I can't see any way to detect low power mode in a datafield - there's certainly no onEnterSleep() or onExitSleep() functions within the datafield. Does a datafield not enter low power mode? Should we code datafields to always run in low power mode (ie, only fire 10% of pixels with no same pixel on for more than 3 mins)? Running datafields constantly in low power mode is useless with my datafields.
