App drawer becomes dim for no reason - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys..I have this weird display where the app drawer just turns very dim all of a sudden and this happens randomly and I need to exit the app drawer and enter it again in order for it to become normal again..
So this is how it looks like..as shown, only the app drawer becomes dim whereas the notification bar and the dock are still normal..anyone facing the same issue? I'm on stock 4.3 non rooted

+1. It seems to be software related. I tried factory reset too. It didn't help

My other One works perfect. On this one I get that app drawer dim, small amount of lag, and ocasional screen unrisponsiveness. Odd thing is both phones are stock 4.3 and about same production date. Maybe it's the colour of the phone ?

I don't think so. I had egzactly the same apps on both my phones and only the black one is acting up. The silver one is working fine. So it must be the colour ?

rebooted several times, i am on arhd 40.3, and it stopped to get dimmed out of the blue.

It looks like multitasking is the main reason for this. I can replicate it by opening few apps and then going to app drawer

I had the same issue using the last 4.3 based ViperOne ROM. Pretty sure I remember reading about it being due to the animation scale being 0.5
Didn't really find it to be an annoyance at all, and was only maybe 1 in 7 times that it occurred so never really worried about it

[Q] tapatalk/xda premium apps

Is there a thread for these two apps? Ever since they released the new UI for these 2 apps I've had nothing but force close issues on startup. It never fails. It will open and look fine but as soon as I open a thread or start to scroll down it force closes. But the strange part is I can reopen the app immediately and it works fine. It does not matter which device I use. For awhile I thought it was because I was rooted but now I have an HTC one still haven't rooted or modified it in any way and still having the exact same issue. I have been reporting this crash since the day the update came out. I'm losing more and more respect with tapatalk with each update.
If this will not be fixed any time soon what are your opinions on a good alternative app?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I use both apps and dont have that problem.
I imagine you tried to uninstall both and wipe and re install.
Yea.. I have 3 phones and it happens on all three devices. Optimus G, HTC one, and galaxy s4.

Had that issue for a while, certain threads would kill the app every time. Haven't noticed it in a while though. I do have issues with trying to access the sprint one main thread through the favorites screen, where it just goes blank. No other major issues though. XDA premium, btw.
Sent from my beige box using xda premium
Are all these threads in sprint htc one?
Thats the only section im in right now and I just have never had an issue
For me it's the default screen. The notifications screen. It will display that screen but as soon as I tap an article (which yea it happens to be most sprint HTC one threads the app will shut down but I can immediately reopen the app and use every feature without an issue. But as soon as I turn my screen off or use another app or wait a bit before using xda premium or tapatalk it does it again..

It got worse with the 4.3 update. I'm having to use the old free version of the xda app.. from the looks of it after reading around a lot of other people are having the same issue. Is there a thread we can report these issues to? I've been reporting on every crash since I updated the app. With this "crashes upon first startup ###" the numbers are the amount of times I've reported the same crash. I'm at 167.

If you have more than one notification, swipe away the top one. The rest teleport to the top with no animation. That alone has me back on 4.1.2

not sure if its related but ever since i updated all my contact photos in the text message app that were linked to my friends facebook pics are all now blank and i cant get them to come back and stay, i went into the facebook app and "sync with existing contacts" and i went into settings and synced facebook contacts in there also
I don't know ifthis is a bug, but what ifs the purpose of the day dream setting. My phone didn't fully charge last night, probably because the screen kept coming on. Other than that I don't really notice anything that is greatly different. I am however hoping that the no SIM card issues are fixed.

There are no bugs. And not sure what the Hell this guy keeps saying about notifications teleporting to the top without animation??

If you're in the Twitter beta, you can't get Twitter to show up in blinkfeed. Best way around it is uninstall all the updates, link your account in blinkfeed and then update to the beta again.

I asked in another thread, but it might get more answers here. On 4.3, I've had the stock music app reset the volume to all the way down/off twice. I'm using google Play music to see if I can get the same issue on that as well. I'm curious as to if anyone else has seen this particular issue.

That's not the ROM problem. That is your phone/sim issue. I believe most people have resolved it by taking out the sim, cleaning it, blowing out the contacts, and re-seating.
The firmware seems to cause a swap for those who did and did not have the purple camera issue. I didn't before, have it now. Boss had it before, doesn't now.

The option to toggle whether open wifi connections are available is not working it is permanently turned on even after factory reset. Also roaming guards cannot be toggled off and alot of apps force close after closing them but that one could be they are not updated for 4.3 yet.

Yup, every Note has it - it's because of the black clipping issue with the Phone.

I have a white note and it has the issue.. more prominent on CM roms.
I actually kinda fixed it with screen adjuster from playstore.Contrast set on 12.Even the clipping in the browser when you switch pages disappeared.Also before screen adjuster,the gama test pattern that I downloaded from a thread showed first 3 or 4 digits as a black space.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa&hl=hr

4.4 hidden Easter Egg not right after upgrade

Anyone that upgraded today have the same issue as me?
After double checking my Android version in settings and seeing 4.4.2, I fast clicked the version number to her to the K that spins. Well, my K doesn't spin at all. I have to long press it to get to the red Android sign, and then long press again to get to the android tiles underneath. My tiles don't float around though. My wife's Note 3 upgraded fine and the easter egg works perfectly. This is making me paranoid that something else isn't right with my upgrade... I just haven't found it yet.

Could there be a problem with your screen's touch sensitivity? Have you tested that in other contexts? Or tried using the stylus with the Easter Egg?
Thanks. K now spins, but the second easter egg (android logo tiles) do not animate... Aka fly across the screen when you click them. Instead they blink in and out. No animation. Interesting.

My Note 3 is completely stock. I know the Developers is turned on but have no idea what that even means.
Thanks again!

As long as you have a Note 3 that has been upgraded to 4.4.2, you can access this easter egg (or any device that has 4.4, not just a Note). If you go to YouTube and search for '4.4 easter egg’, there will be a ton of vids of people showing how to get there.
