Guys,
can you confirm if this is normal please.
i dont recall noticing this on the last 2 HTC Ones i had but then again i have barely used it since i got the first One. Still getting to grips, knowing the device etc.
Its a very very mild backlight flicker like a low refresh rate when power save mode is enabled. i dont think its apparent with it turned off. Not that much discussion of it on the forums so either no one else noticed, it doesnt happen on other Ones and i have a bad backlight?

please confirm people.
thanks

i think its the only time it happens.
i have the same Samsung panel on all HTC Ones phones i have had so probably never noticed it.
I 'might' have noticed it once, not too sure, haven't looked out for it again.
If there is a flicker it'll get sorted out with an update, the HTC One X was a riiiight pain in the bum with this issue, just ask @Hamdir, it was doing people head in.
The HOX thread on it might still be going, take a look.
most devices will flicker one way or another on very low brightness
the One X issue was during normal brightness and was sorted in time (sw)

Bought a new Digitizer/LCD off ebay a few months ago and installed it myself.
Question is, could a new Digitizer/LCD be draining my battery more than usual?
I would say its possible, but those screen shots don't appear to fully support that. The way I would analyze that screen shot would be to say turn off wifi and see what a day without wifi looks like. You can see only the little amount your screen was on during your steady decline, but wifi was on constant.
Edit:
The drop doesn't seem to spike at the points your screen is on.
Its very routine for me to use Pandora (on 3G) with a Bluetooth headset for a few hours with my screen off, and have it show the display as the largest drain.

Okay, I am charging up right now and going to calibrate my battery tonight. Should I turn off Data too, tomorrow? Or just Wifi?
Not sure what it is...or what it does, but is it after market or Samsung.

I thought you could only replace with a Samsung AMOLED screen, due to proprietary connections.
My guess would be the screen came from a bricked or otherwise incapacitated Captivate.

Then I'm guessing, as long as it was installed correctly, it's not the cause of the battery drain. Recalibrate, and give it a couple of charges. At least 3.

Trying both couldn't hurt. But for the truly scientific approach I would do it separate. Like data on, wifi off one day, next day both off, and finally a day of airplane mode. If you can live without it for a day. Just to try to pinpoint where that drain is.

Yeah, like Joe said, I could see it throwing off your calibration, being a new screen to "learn", but I wouldn't think it is really drawing any more power than any other screen would.
Plus you are using GB, and GB is known to have battery issues. I can't get the old Froyo bump charge tricks to work in GB, it just took several power cycles.
Maybe you should start there (instead of days of trial and error as I previously suggested)... how long ago did you replace the screen?

What do you guys think? Isn't it weird how much battery my screen is eating up?
It does look like the screen is the cause from those shots, though there can be other things that turn on when the screen is on.
Just to be sure, have you tried changing the screen brightness? You might want to try setting it to the lowest setting for a time, then change it to the highest and compare.
What is that notification from? Looks like the juice defender one (i could be wrong, probably am, it was a long time ago that I tried it). If that's what it is I would try a day without that. When I used it it caused massive battery drain, essentially the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

Recently upgraded from a black S2 to a black note (which i love) then learnt of the whole screen issue (black clipping/crush)
ive trailed through soooooo many pages and seems very little evidence of anyone who has done the gamma test pattern and had a good screen
My gamma result is that i can see all the way to the number 4 and then it turns black (i have blocky grey squares for example when there is a scene change during a video and the screen darkens)
my question is is there anyone in the UK with a good screen? i am within the 28 days so i guess they would swap for a brand new note but dont want to go through the process if there doesn't seem to be any good screen units in country!
(i realise there is a member supercurio working to correct this in ics but some people saying it might be a hardware issue since other solutions are simply shifting the values in the gamma test to 6-7 so i would rather have a good screen if possible)
I think its a software and not a hardware problem, but I read the threads on this long ago. In day to day use I can't even tell about the black leveling off, so it doesn't matter to me. If I were you id just stop looking for problems in this amazing device because if you look you'll always find something wrong.

i'm with you on what you said at the end...but the blacks on my phone are more grey and if i watch videos/youtube etc its obvious (actually prefer watching stuff on the s2 and that goes against why i wanted i bigger screen)
i did specifically want to know if there are phones without the issue in the uk as i'm still within 28 days and eligable to swap the unit
regarding if it is software - people still saying the problem is there who have flashed ics though?

Samsung may just not care about it with ICS and things like that, exactly why a XDA member is working on it instead. But since you just got it you might as well swap it quickly and see if it's better. Personally on my note (it's not from the UK) I don't notice this at all, just a yellow tinge sometimes (Damn you pentile!)
So I'm debating RMA's the N7 I have with Google Play. I have a slight screen raise (this doesn't bother me too much) as well as screen flicker that I notice in low lighting situations (mostly in chrome and maps).
Does anyone NOT have screen flicker? Or is this a software issue?

Hey, I believe the screen flicker is due to the auto brightness function of the device.
I personally don't like auto brightness at all, try turning it off in the brightness menu and see if you still get that.
I see the flicker quite often with devices having that function turned on.

Hmmmm well I guess the only thing I have to compare it to is my iPhone 4 which doesn't do this.
My eyes are usually sensitive enough to be annoyed by screen flicker in any respect. Certainly with overhead CFL lighting.
My 16GB Nexus 7 (2 days in my posession now) doe snot exhibit any sort of screen flicker whatsoever. This is in comparison side by side with my HTC Desire HD which also does not flicker.
The display actually has a very high quality feeling which I like.

Thanks for the feedback. So even in low lighting conditions, with auto brightness set to on, and scrolling around in chrome / maps, you screen never flickers or sort of rapidly dims?
I've noticed it. Only on white web pages or books. Very slight. I had two HTC One Xs that both had it. Its a Tegra issue and doubt we will see a fix. Gutted.
Its not the whole screen. Noticeable around text especially. Some weird refresh prob. Left side of my screen is also slightly raised. Not happy.

I definitely get it on the whole screen, maybe for a second or 2. Might do it 2-3 times per day at most.
double post - deleted
Happened to me, I just turned the auto brightness off and t was fine. Try it, it works.
I keep auto brightness disabled and I haven't noticed the flicker that I can remember but tonight I'll try to reproduce and check it both ways.
I disable auto brightness and use this app which is actually a widget. It allows you to UAW any edge on the screen as an invisible or barely visible slider for brightness. It allows for incremental 1% changes on a slider instead of the typical button/toggle widget and its always enabled if you set it that way which allows on the go ease of use no matter what app or screen is open.
Its helped me attain amazing battery life and always have quick access for setting it just right.

I understand that - I'm trying to gauge whether or not it affects ALL N7's, or is a defect.
Google Play is shipping me a replacement N7 to address the screen raise on my current one, and I want to make sure the replacement is 100% A-OK.

Make a poll if you're trying to do that.... But yes, I see flicker too, but only at very low backlight levels and seems to be when wifi is active. I haven't tested to see if it's just wifi, or wifi causing other things (disk activity, etc), but this is the general consensus so far in the other thread.
Please help. I am planning to buy nexus 6. I have read a lot about nexus 6 display issues like burn in issues , uneven color, grey lines and lower half of screen freezing. Some say these are present in all devices to variable extent and in most exist in mild form.
Should i get nexus 6 ? does these screen issues still exist?
Else i will buy Galaxy s6

I've had mine since November 2014 and I have none of those issues.
Smooth sailing here
I keep it adaptive 66% brightness and its all good no burn-in that I can see I have noticed some specific apps like chrome cause a weird freeze on the right screen half happens maybe once a month with no pattern (a quick screen off/on fixes it could possibly be a custom kernel thing). Only other thing I'd say is the screen has a very warm color palette by default, I use code blue with kcal 237, 235, 255 to make a cooler feel, there's a thread about it somewhere. I've had mine since February.

The Galaxy S6 has lots more software issues then the N6 atm and besides that i have never personaly had this screen issue. The N6 is a great phone especialy now it is beeing discounted here and there (US and UK).
Been rocking N6 for last 1 month and i am loving it. No issues at all. Like u i was also very concerned to put into huge sum of money into N6 purchase after reading soooooo many discouraging videos and reviews and comments.
But i am using it as my daily driver for like 1 month now and i haven't seen any issue related to screen, battery, or even software. 5.1.1 is very stable.
I keep the adaptive brightness on and brightness level at 50% and i get 4 - 4.5 hours SOT with everything on...including google now, location history, location reporting high accuracy.
No screen burn, no battery swelling, no battery life issues, no screen freezes, bt yes i'll admit the screen colour is more on a warmer side.
I got a Nexus 6 from Google Play and a friend got one from Motorola in June 2015. Both have screen issues, one have vertical banding noticeable on gray or dark backgrounds, the other has a yellow tint and very uneven backlighting. I'm not sure if most have these issues and simply aren't bothered or what. Not sure what to do at this point.
Flawless here
No issues with mine ....
mine works fine never had any of the issues above
No issues for me.

There's no backlighting.
What I meant to say is that strips of the screen are brighter or darker than the rest of the screen and it looks blotchy. If I hadn't viewed a solid gray screen, I might not have noticed but this doesn't make me happy, especially knowing that Android M has a dark theme with lots of grays.
I've had my white 64gb from Motorola since March. Had it replaced once already for the screen tearing issue when running a custom dpi. The replacement I got a month ago does the same. Will be calling again soon

I got a nexus 6 at ATT through the next program a couple months ago. It had banding on the right side of the screen right out of the box. It was pretty discouraging. I took it back and got it swapped for another unit and honestly couldn't be happier. The n6 is an amazing phone.

Half black, and half freeze, which I've seen be referred to as screen tearing in just about all the posts I could find on it. Funny thing is on every kernel or ROM thread ice asked about it I've been told it does not happen on all of them. Seems many have had their phones replaced and had no issues in the replacement and that has led to people believing it's a hardware issue. Only other explanation I had seen was something about Franco saying it's a possible display driver issue. Sucks that I can't use Franco kernel at AOL because it becomes horrible

The tearing, which by that I mean freezing definitely seems to be a graphics card issue. The half-black if you change the DPI and rotate clockwise so buttons are on the bottom, afaik happens to them all. I think this is related to the GPU to, though I don';t think that is hardware issue. The tearing issue seems to manifest more when the device is warm/hot

The tearing is a graphics card software or hardware issue? I love this phone, but it's getting very frustrating. Especially since my RMA prices with Motorola turned out to be a series of clusterf*cks.
I'm running Chroma right now and with the included Franco it's unusable in both my phones at a lower dpi. Half screen freezes left and right within seconds of starting up. The reasons I initially believed it was software was that it only seems to happen in certain apps. Specifically ones that required a lot of scrolling, like XDA, Facebook, and chrome. But no one else in the thread seems to have the issue
The half black screen I figured had to be software because the soft buttons are still on the screen.
I just wish there was a solid answer so I could stop guessing

I've never had the tearing issue and not everyone has that one. The guys who have had an RMA have generally said that it had stopped the issue happening. Im not sure that has any link to DPI either. My suspician based on not really any evidence at all is that it is hardware related, since some have it and some do not.
The half black is definitely linked to DPI and there is no fix to that that I am aware. I just turn that rotation mode off so I can only go anti-clockwise.

The weird thing with me with the tearing is it only happens in certain situations and has been consistent across both devices I had. Certain kernels I get it, other ones I do not. Franco has been unusable for me on both. It has only happened at lower dpi. Never on stock. Send to be less frequent with interactive governors than ondemand or conservative

Hi All,
I am facing screen burn in issue within months of using this phone, am I the only UNLUCKY one?
EDIT: Update, Got phone back from ASC, they told the display was defective and they replaced Display and Battery, I see some dust particles in the Camera Lens and Flash modules but its okay as its not affecting the Camera performance. But I still think if I use it the same way as before the Burn in is imminent :crying:
Have you been spending the whole day on facebook and watching youtube vertically ?
I've had my ROG 2 since mid September and I'm basically on it constantly, I'm always using it, and I just tested mine for burn in and I can't even find the slightest little bit of burn in anywhere.
So everyone needs to understand that if they want to bring up burn in issues it is always needed to post some pictures taken by another camera
To test your phone for burn in its better to test a fully gray picture cause it shows most uniformity or burn in issues
Also try to test a fully blue picture, blue shows even the slightest burns

Image added, there's already a post in Zentalk Forums, just wanted to get expert opinions of XDA members, Thanks.
History: I used ROG 2 only purely for gaming as I already have Note 9 as my primary and daily driver, I played long sessions of PUBG Mobile mostly and the signs of burn in started kicking in within 3 months of usage.
Have given the phone to ASC, they told they will replace the screen under warranty. Waiting for an update from them.

Image added, there's already a post in Zentalk Forums, just wanted to get expert opinions of XDA members, Thanks.
History: I used ROG 2 only purely for gaming as I already have Note 9 as my primary and daily driver, I played long sessions of PUBG Mobile mostly and the signs of burn in started kicking in within 3 months of usage.

Yes, I think you may have been unfortunate with a defective device. It's good that you still have warranty.
This is unfortunate news.
I have turned off the suggestion bar on the Google keyboard so I don't burn in the Google logo. I have gone dark mode on everything and have also enabled full immersive mode to hide the status bar when possible. I've gone to the extreme of using Waze only on another phone via hotspot from the ROG II.
Sounds extreme but after getting burn in twice on my s8+, I'm taking no chances with this phone.
I feel your pain and hopefully it's just a defect.
Guys dont panic! Burn in will happen at some point even if you use dark theme and everything, and the screen isnt that expensive anyways.
But i have a question from the op, which app are these burns coming from and on what brightness level do you normaly use the phone???!

You are absolutely RIGHT! BurnIn is gonna happen if not now but in days to come for anyone its the drawback of AMOLED.
The burn in was of the PUBG Mobile Buttons and HUD layouts which was the only game I mostly played in my phone for long hours and at times at max brightness which seems to have been the cause. But again my complaint is ASUS puts out banner as GAMING BEAST, then they should have probably gone with a LCD screen instead of AMOLED imho.
You are damn right they should have! A gaming phone with OLED panel is just a joke! In no time we will have burnins from all static HUD content of different games lol
I'm getting burn in from the Call of Duty HUD.
This is actually quite annoying and it will only get worse
Although I really enjoy using this phone with its no notch display and rgb eye on the back, I would definitely get an lcd high end phone If I could...
