Pulsating Hue? Question.

I know there are "issues" with the screen on the Note but I just want to verify what I'm seeing. I'm totally fine with any color distortion at angles and not pure whites but this is bothersome. Maybe someone else can test. If you open the video maker app(more noticeable here) and just stare at the screen does it pulsate from normal to a green'ish hue every couple seconds? Mine does and it's quite annoying. Is there a fix for this? Does 2.3.6 fix this? Am I crazy? I've disabled all auto brightness and power saving brightness settings and rebooted.
I ordered from Amazon in the U.S. from Global Mobiles but I got a German version. I have a feeling doing an exchange is going to be a NIGHTMARE and I might get the same results or worse. Has Samsung acknowledged this? Any custom ROMS fix this? Personally I don't think it's hardware as some apps/screens do not exhibit this problem. When I do the *#0*# I don't see it there... ::sigh::
Thanks.

You mean on the Video editor, on the first screen where you have "New project" on the bottom?
I don't see anything special happening. The image is stable until the backlight is dimmed after 20 seconds. The image looks a little more green if you look at it from an angle but does not change by itself.

Mine actually says "Video Maker".
Ok then I guess my device is defective... Damn. Thanks for checking.
Hold up! Now when I check it it's not doing it. It seems to happen randomly as if some app or service is causing it to happen. Man I hope this is a software fix. Now to try and find the root of what is causing this...
OK I just hard reset and am going to try running stock for a day or so and see what happens. But man I really don't like auto brightness and the power brightness setting...

[Q] htc one screen problem

hi i am in the uk.. on three network. i got my htc one on the 3rd of april, and 4 days later the screen started to flicker? not all the time? but browsing? esp facebook or anything page with white? i guess the white shows up the flicker more? like i say NOT all the time but soo annoying!! not what i expected from a high end phone? Now let me just say i love this phone.. but thought i cant have this.. so i fill out support form for htc and they reply quick advising me it should not do this and to get it changed. i contact three go through the whole call centre thing (like pulling teeth) anyways the upshot was.. three sent me another brand new phone the next day (yesterday) and took back my first one. And guess what? as soon as i switch the phone on, same screen flicker? i treated the first phone like a new born baby didnt drop or bash it 4 days=screen flicker. another new phone as soon as i use it = screen flicker!! i so love this phone but im so gutted!! any suggestions from ANYONE would help.
kind regards

This isn't helpful but you must just be unlucky to have had it happen twice because mine's been perfect and I've not seen anyone else on this forum mention that problem with theirs.
I guess you'll have to get a new one sent out again and hope for the best :thumbup:

Could you make a short video clip to illustrate your problem ?

hi.. to be honest i dont think a video would pick the problem up? you know i could just be being a kill joy? ive watched videos etc and there really isnt a problem with that at all.. in fact the quality of the picture is fab? if i could use an analogy? remember when the volume control on your stereo would get dust in it? and you would have to twiddle the knob to cure it? its a bit like that? like i say it does not do it all the time but i notice it with white in the screen? like facebook google and when i am navigating thru the screens on the phone like settings etc? the white flickers white/slightly darker white? hence my example? now ive changed my text messages colour scheme so that doesnt annoy me now with it.. but obviously as a electronics layman.. i cant help but think if it was a problem with the screen itself, other colours would do the same as they would if there was a loose connestion? and also if it was a power flow problem with the battery? same thing? not just the white on screen? so i can only conclude as a layman again.. that it is some sort of issue with the os? screen refresh rate maybe? i just dont know? and i cant help think stupidly or not that when htc finally get around to an os update to 4.2.2 (or whatever it is) from 4.1.2 the whole thing will be resolved?

Could it be the auto brightness doing its thing? Try turning it off maybe that might solve it.
I might be totally wrong, be great if that fixed it though. Good luck

well well well!!!! And there you have it!! or at least something like that? ive always used the multi widgit for wifi bluetooth brightness etc? so i have brightness preset on that. instead ive gone into display settings, adjusted brightness with slider? no more flicker!! NO MORE FLICKER!! who ever you are!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Was this happening when the stock power widget brightness was set to medium?
If so, I have the same flickering ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243483 ), but I've found out that its not the power widgets fault per se, but the the the level that it sets it to. The widget set the brightness to 33%, and that the level which I'm getting flickering at, regardless of if it was set with the power widget or by the slider. The flickering happens on screen with a good amount of white. Google search result webpage is a good test case; it shows the flickering clearly at 33%. It also seems to depend on where the white is on the screen. For example, I can induce flickering at 40% brightness by moving a light colored icon from the bottom of the screen to the top! Moving it back to the bottom causes the flickering to go away. I can also do it by moving around or resizing the Gmail widget. Flickering happens for me to some extent at brightness values between 33 and 45 under certain screen conditions. Above or below these brightness values, the screen is top notch, no endless flickering at all regardless of how much white is on screen. I'm starting to think this has to do with the dynamic contrast feature of the One. It seems as though it falls in an endless loop of trying to change the contrast, as if it cant decide on what to set the contrast to. Or it could be that the dynamic contrast is fighting for a certain brightness value, but the manually set brightness is not allowing it. I might be wrong about this, and it could just be a hardware backlight problem, regardless, I wish HTC had the Sense (ha ha!) to allow us to disable dynamic contrast if we wanted to. I'm pretty sure this is whats causing the issue where people see flickering when the keyboard pops up.

screen issue?
hi..
i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?

JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

HTC One Screen Problems Test

Hello, please follow these steps one by one to check your screen whether exists slight flicker problem.
1 close power saver mode and turn off the auto brightness feature.
2 set your brightness to 48% or 50% (this is a common place, you need to check it between 40%~50% brightness)
3 open the message interface, and pay more attention to your screen more carefully.
I have already ask a lot of peoples who have own new HTC One.
this problem is very common, therefore, I connect to the HTC to verify this problem reason.
Did you have any suggestion about this problem?
By the way, if you not set this brightness value, you will not see any flicker on your screen.

Tried what you just said and nothing happened. Could you explain more what's happening when you do that?

Yeah no flicker here either
OP can you suply video or something
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I believe the flicker is the HTC screen adaptive tech going wonky at just within a few ranges of lux around 50% ... i am pretty sure it should be software issue.. you know why ? happens on my sense ROM but not on CM10.1

this phenomenon is not the same as the htc one x. it cannot record by video capture, because it is too weak.
the screen quickly from light to dark, and then from dark to light again and again. like the refresh rate not enough.
My firmware version 1.29.708.4

yeah that is most likely software, same thing used to happen to my S3 when i first flashed AOKP, but the dev fixed it.

No issue for me, CID: HTC_001 with 1.29 update - fully stock

thank you for your test, maybe it will cause by software issue, because in HK, there is no update yet. it still on 1.29.708.4

I have what sounds like a similar flicker, although strangely I only get it on CM10.1 (06-14 nightly), and not on Stock...
---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------
Playing around a bit more (on stock), it seems that if I have it set to automatic brightness, the flicker happens on the transition between different brightness levels. Once it has settled on a level there is no flicker. I wonder if the problem I was seeing on CM is more to do with the sensitivity settings for the light sensor.

OK scratch that last post. It happens for me around 50% brightness also, but on CM10.1. Any definitive answers on whether it's a hardware or software issue yet?

[Q] Phone seems to forget it's a amoled... Screen is extremely washed out

Seems like my phone has forgotten it's amoled. It lights up the entire screen even if it's just black. The screen is overly bright and looks washed out and I can see tons of imperfections on it that seem to move with whats on the screen. This leads me to believe it's software, (happened a few days after a cm12.1 install) .
I've tried flashing stock images and it still persists. Anyone experience something like this? Not sure the best solution.

lower your brightness? what brightness do you keep it at?

Regardless of whether brightness is 100% or 0% the screen is overly washed out. It's as though the backlight is being turned on even if there are dark pixels on the screen. Everything is just way brighter and hard to read. Not sure if it's a hardware problem or software problem. Any way for me to determine this? Only thought would be a nandroid backup from my phone being restored on another to see if it recreates the problem but i don't have access to a second nexus 6.

Can` t you go to store where they sell the Nexus 6 to compare? I reccon you`re on stock and don`t use a custom kernel for color control, my screen is beautiful imo. But also its possible that maybe you have a faulty device, it can happen ....

My screen was great. It's a recent issue that came up. It has happened in the last few days.

P10 - sensor issues // screen gets dark in the bright sun

Hello dear xda-community,
I just returned from my vacation to Mexico. Whilst being there and taking pictures I encountered a very strange dilemma with the display and the brightness-automatic of the P10: Even if I deactivated the automatic screen-brightness, the system shaded when shooting pictures in the bright sunlight. Which resulted in a barely seeable screen, whereby the S7 of my girlfriend provided a sharp and bright screen.
I really wonder what caused this strange behaviour, and if anyone of you experienced a similar behaviour? I really don't get it why a feature still works when it's deactivated -__-
Thanks, cheerz
J

did no one experience this issue?

I experienced this, too.
But mostly I got it working with manual focus.
The most annoying thing is that the colors are a bit darken with bright sunlight, even if the sun isn't in the picture. The colors seems to be faded, the saturation is very low. See the attachment, the smaller prop plane is blue in reality but on this photo it looks like black, like the background buildings, too.

Hello Janno,
my issue is not with the postproduction, but with the lightsensor which is shading the whole display (even if this option has been disabled)
Thanks for your reply though, I chose a bad headline

Um getting this issue too... After about 10mins in the bright sun light the phone dims...even when i turn off automatic brightness and increase the brightness level it wont work...i think its a flaw on oreo update...when using nougat this never encountered

I guess it has something todo with the device temperature - Have the same behavior while using navigation :x

hm... not sure if it's really temperature-driven, since in the lockscreen no dimming took place and the display was shining in brightest and good readable colors.

Yeah thats true...

Its a bug in the display, you can turn it off in developer options but it still occurs. I think B365 has a fix for it

is B365 a user here?
Thanks for the help

B365 is an Oreo update.

I am pretty sure it is temperature issue, had it on oreo 360 and 365 after update. It happens while I am driving with navigation (waze)and charging and direct sunlight on the device. Then I take the p10 and place it in front of the air conditioner opening for 30 seconds and everything is ok.

So for me, it has something todo with the device temperature. I bought a new phone holder, which is placed in front of the Ventilation and my display didnt changed the brigthness anymore ?

Same problem
In application's it get dark even you have automatic switched off. This issue is a really annoying and looks like connected with temperature.

My P10 was/is on B365 as this issue happened. Just got it back today from repairs, of course they found nothing^^
So it seems really to be a software-issue. Any way to fix this?
