Strange pixel line across the screen - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been noticing it showing up everytime I use Netflix. It's a vertical line on portrait mode. Only fix is reboot the device. Anybody having the same problem? Thanks!

I've once seen a vertical line in landscape mode, not in portrait. I terminated the app and it was fine after. I think it's related to the bigger graphical glitche where half the screen freezes. On mine actually, that line was cut out and then displayed somewhere else on the screen, on another line.

You're right, it's in landscape mode. Anyways it doesn't really shows a lot. Thanks!

Also experiencing pixel line
I think it's something to do with Netflix as well. No other apps, and restarting works. Killing the app by swiping it out of recent apps does not work.

Can't see a pixel line on mine in any app. Running stock rooted themed with minimal mods.

Will someone please tell me why Google hasn't improved the rotation speed?!

I thought this was originally a product if poor sensors. But it wasn't. Then I thought it was a bug. Updates went by, then I saw that wasn't the case either. It just seems to be a "feature".
This feature is really beginning to annoy me! Can anyone tell me why it takes about two seconds before the screen rotates in stock Android. My G.Nex takes about the same time. I'm guessing any remedy involves rooting, which is annoying. I'm rooted, I just don't think this should be necessary for people to do (IF it's necessary).
Can anyone shed light on this?

Actually if it rotates in less than a second it'll be more annoying trust me. Like if you are typing and just tilt your device a little bit, it'll be a disaster right? I don't know however if you can modify this.

Aokp and others allow you to change this. Many roms have a shorter rotation speed. They actually did quicken it, 4.0 was really slow. Yes its a feature.

Quite fast considering what it has to do.

I agree with this.. The feature is there to prevent you from rotating the screen by accident. Say using the cam in video chat while holding the device in your hand.. While typing and walking around..
Not sure why this is such a bother to you Not everything should be Instant.If it were instant you would also see the screen refresh as its turning the icons..
the ui . would have to turn resize screen background re position the icons and the notification/ now settings menu all in a fraction of a second. The delay helps with my first sentence as well as gives the Interface to make necessary changes for the new orientation.. Good things come to those who wait..
The rotation pause time is perfect for me.

If anyone has used the iPad, other iDevice or some other non-stock Android devices, the rotation delay is only about half a second and smooth. There is no confusion or constant accidental rotations, it's responsive rather than intentionally slow. Plus, I really don't think too many people accidentally rotate their devices too many times.
Another example is that with my N7, JB 4.2, rooted but stock, It can take up to 4 seconds to rotate on the PIN secured lock screen. In what way is this useful?
Its less than one second on my stock 4.2...
The rotation speed seems much longer on 4.2 than it did on 4.1.2. I noticed the difference immediately after updating.
You can play with the 3 screen animation parameters - they are located in setup under the developers section about half way down the page.
-Window animation scale
-Transition animation scale
-Animation duration scale
These parameters affect the speed at which the display dims and brightens, rotates and transitions..
If you set the 3 parameters to zero, you get a binary effect on all animations - in other words, a single step from one position/brightness/orientation to the next.
I found that you may have to reboot the device (or restart the window manager?) for any changes to take effect.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Camera not going fullscreen?

Hello Guys,
I have the VS980 running XDABBEB VS98024A rom. Everything has been smooth for months until today. I brought up the camera from the main screen. The initial logo is centered but when the camera starts there is a black border around the right and bottom portion of the screen. I havent changed any of the DPI settings and I have reset the camera in the menu. I also have tried clearing the cache and deleting the data from application manager with no luck. My navigation buttons and status bar are present now and i dont remember them being there before. The pictures still come out the right size and the gallery operates full screen but just the camera itself isnt. I tried to take a screenshot of it but it just took pictures. Is there any clue as to what has happened? No new apps or downloads recently. A really frustrating and random event. I use my phones camera constantly. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you
If you have it in 13mp the aspect ratio is different and puts black borders on the camera.

Thanks for the reply. It was in the 10mp setting. Turns out my app setting module had updated without my knowledge and changed the UIs DPI making the camera smaller. I just didn't know. Changed the UI back to stock 480 and everything is fine. 4hrs of searching later lol

Glitches on Chrome?

Does any one else have this issue of black bars and glitches in Chrome when jumping from portrait homescreen to landscape mode in Chrome? Also while switching from full screen to half screen in landscape mode in Chrome, the screen shows black bars and glitches,

I've seen some minor glitches in Chrome but nothing as severe as what you've mentioned.
Why does it happen? I've used other browsers and none have these issues

I wish I had a clear cut answer for that question. I would say, if you're comfortable with another browser until Chrome updates again, try it.

Landscape mode zooming in too much?

Does anyone have the issue where landscape mode zooms in too much? It happens in games, YouTube on chrome, and in the YouTube app sometimes. Any fix for this?
Edit: the fix for the YouTube app is to pinch inwards to view original instead of fill, but that doesn't help with games or videos in chrome
Are you using guesters?
I have had this issue with Facebook lite in messages I had to tap reply further up to fix it
It is odd that this is the first time noticimg this maybe because q was built more for guestures control I noticed it after turning off guesters and moving back to the soft buttons the guestures was too unreliable even on the lowest sensitivity.

I am using gesture navigation. Turning it off doesn't fix YouTube's fill on chrome. But it does seem to fix it in one of my games. I honestly prefer gesture navigation though.

A bad pixel of not?

Folks, I have what's like a Pixel dot right in the top middle of my screen. It sparkles like a far away star. Anyone else experience this? View attachment 5121461

This light is the proximity sensor, it should appear only when in a call. If it's always appearing it's a software bug caused either by the way you restored data on your device, an app, or a system setting.

It really shouldn't be visible at all even when in active use. If you use the "Flip To Shhh" it's always on but you don't see it. However, if you point another camera at it you can see the flickering on the screen of the other device. I've been able to confirm that on my Pixel 2 XL. If I turn "Flip To Shhh" off then the flickering of the proximity sensor stops.

Not a bad pixel. What @akpe said above was right.
