I think I might have a software fix for the Nexus 7 screen flicker.
Screen flickers in low brightness and when using WiFi.
To solve this I am using an app called Screen Filter.

When I want to dim the screen I first turn the brightness UP and then use screen filter to lower it back to the level I actually want to use. This gives me a dim screen, and I have not notices any flickering when hitting WiFi. Does this work for anyone else?
This does only mask the problem for those that has it. It does not actually solve the problem. It has been covered multiple times in other threads.

I had what I would consider serious flicker and using Lux immediately and completely eliminated the problem.

well looks like this did not fix my screen flicker and seems to be more of a hardware issue.
I'd return it. I haven't had any flickering whatsoever

Yea I would return it especially since they have stock now. Only problem I see is my auto brightness and brightness slider not working. I hope this is a software issue I think it is cause its effecting n7 and n10 after the 4.2 update. The 4.2.1 didn't fix this for me.

I had screen flicker, then I turned off the automatic screen brightness and set it manually and it doesn't flicker anymore. Maybe the same issue?
Any video showing what a screen flicker is?
[ISSUES] Nexus 4 screen flicker
Not exactly sure why you thought you needed to create an entirely new thread to update us on this issue.

I love the phone but I've noticed that while navigating the phone the brightness flickers or pulsates somewhat. It's also noticeable when watching video. Also I've noticed when I swipe from blinkfeed to my main home screen I can tell the screen gets slightly dimmer.
It doesn't seem as pronounced when I disable auto-brightness but it still seems to happen.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
I also have but I can't consistently recreate the issue so I havent tried to get a replacement yet

After messing around with the phone more it seems to me like the brightness adjusts depending on what is on the screen, like if I launch an app the brightness might change but once it does it seems consistent until I do something else. I don't know if it's trying to adjust dynamically based on what's being displayed or what.
Not really sure if it bothers me enough to do anything about it.
I had like a wave go through my screen while using the cam odd anyone notice the lines in the screen when its off ?

I haven't noticed that.
I actually went to Best Buy over the weekend and exchanged my phone to see if a different one would be better about the brightness adjusting constantly. My new phone seems about the same but I think I'm kind of getting used to it, also I just don't feel bad knowing that it seems to be widespread.
Hello. Issue is the screen all of a sudden turns into very phosphorite colours. I've searched for any similar issue here in xda and have not seen anyone else with this problem..
In another forum (Spanish only) various people have reported the same issue after my post there. And in most of the cases the issue seems to show up after watching a video/movie potentially related with Netflix and/or HDR.
Rebooting solves the issue. And another person reported that after leaving the phone locked for some time the colours were back to normal...
Have note 8 for less than a month and this has happened 2 times already.
I post here as audience will be wider.
Anyone with same issue or idea?
Thx a lot

I don't have, but if when it happens again I will take a picture with another phone
Nobody in xda have seen the issue?

I think we're waiting on pics. Phosphorite is a rock, so I'm not sure what phosphorite colour means.
sounds some settings in the screen mode were changed. when it happens again, dont reboot just go toggle a few different setting and see if it fixes it. also, having tinted colors(phosphorous?) seems as RGB got changed under the advanced settings in the display mode settings.
I do know some apps are be able to change brightness so mybe other can change color settings? some sort of a blue light filter or 'night' mode?( tint to a warmer shade?)

Is it only when you're charging? I have my screen saver set to colour, and I'd describe those as psychedelic. But I just have to touch the screen to make it stop.
Haha. Yes phosphorite is probably not the right word... the screen turns into fluorescent colours (like in a highlighter pen). Hope this clarifies... let's see if it happens again and I take some pictures.
Thanks for the responses so far
This is a pretty big issue that blue up on the OnePlus forum and Reddit. People are experiencing ghost touches in apps. It's very easy to also experience this by opening cpu-z and letting it sit there for a minute or two not doing anything. It seems not everyone is experiencing this though. I have tested and do experience it. Do you?
Yup. Mine does with cpu-z open. what do we do?

Depends if it's a hardware or software issue. Personally I already submitted a return request with OnePlus.
I just cancelled my order.. hopefully there is a software fix for you guys
This only happens to me on cpu-z and not in any other app. So I guess a future software update is gonna fix it.
Left it for a minute and didn't notice anything. On 9.5.3, bootloader unlocked and patched boot image with root.
I haven't experienced in a few days, it was happening a lot until I disabled pretty much all gestures.
I installed CPU-Z just to check on my International 8GB/256 model and I've got no issue with ghost touches. Not sure what is causing this for you all, but I do hope it is sorted out for you all.
When I turned off NFC the issue went away for me glad I don't use it whatsoever haha

Well that's not a solution disabling a useful feature to not have ghost touch issue.
On screen/off screen gesture are one of my favorite using it, so not a solution to me.
Simple will return the device.
I haven't order yet but i will next couple of days.
There's many reports across oneplus forum.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...ros-are-suffering-phantom-touch-input-issues/
I left CPU-Z running for at least 10 mins.
And all is OK. Maybe it's a rouge program or something to do with the unlock\twrp?
The only way to be sure is to reset to stock and only install CPU-Z
Seems OnePlus using Novatek panels https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...input/touchscreen/oneplus_touchscreen/Novatek
Poco F1 had same problems with Novatec and only way fix it was replacing whole panels, they tried to fix over updates but witout luck

Wow that's seems real bummer.
Why would OP use Novatek display controller since had bad reputation and bad track record.
So the question is how do we know if all that units effected having all of the them Novatek display controller?
Or if there's another supplier for those units that don't have that issue.
Man things are getting much worse if it's hardware related and not software that I thought.

It's extremely annoying it has happened to me a few times even when I was boasting about the new device to some colleagues at work. I thought it was me at first until then I read IRS an actual thing. I won't return it yet but I might if it's not sorted soon. It's extremely irritating.

Looks like ghost touches are related to NFC. Try with NFC turned off.

Can confirm. My Ghost touches seize when NFC is disabled.

I've started yesterday experiencing that ghost touchs and also screen not responsive to touch in some panel sections (mostly the upper right zone). The phone didn't gave me that problem since I bought. I noticed when this happening, pulling the notification bar down to the tile settings makes that zone work again. Same thing happened when that random ghost touchs happens.
Didn't had any problems, don't use NFC, tried turning it on, ghost touches started appearing on cpuz, but not on other apps. As i don't use NFC i probably won't return the phone.
I just tried with CPU-Z and a few seconds after starting the app, the screen turns crazy tapping here and there. Can confirm also disabling NFC solves it.
Turning off nfc or not using gestures or not using cpuz app is just temporary solution.
And there's multiple reports that ghost issues happening other app too.
And we never know if thing get worse over time.
I'm afraid it's a more common issue than we thought but many users simple didn't notice it until now.
Oneplus should clearly take attention on that issue seriously and fix it ASAP.
Shouldn't be happening at all with any kind app or scenario of usage.

Hello,
Has anyone experienced their Pixel 4xl screen flickering? Mine will flicker then the screen will change colors. It happens every now and then. Could this be due to the 90hz display? Trying to figure out if this hardware or a software issue.
occasionally on low brightness or right after unlocking
noticed it on 2 others too in the shop

I've noticed it at even medium brightness. I'm not a big fan of adaptive brightness, so I turned that off and still experienced the flickering. I tried forcing the 90hz and it didn't seem to fix it. I am considering RMA the device.

ive seen this on 2 other pixel 4 XLs
it flickers / changes colors for a split second then goes to normal, almost like its syncing the calibration after unlock

Did you return them? I contacted Google and have a replacement on the way. I'm wondering what the likelihood of me getting another one that has this issue.

don't think it's an issue
might have something to do with 90hz or calibration
Hi all, anyone have still problem with screen flickering like me?
Thanks
