Screen Flicker - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Is anyone else getting screen flicker? It's very distracting for me and I can see what looks like a strobbing effect. It's horrible. I'm really not impressed with the display at all.

Probably a defective LCD panel, unless there's something in the surrounding that is causing the screen to flicker. Better call saul... I mean Oneplus and create an RMA for sending it in worst case scenario.

Rainbow Effect on Screen

After being in my pocket for some time, there is a rainbow effect on the screen. I can change the location of this effect if I push elsewhere on the screen; however, it seems to concentrate itself right in the center. It has no ill-effect on the touch screen but it is visible under certain angles when the screen is on. I am using the screen protector that came with it. After some time being out of my pocket it dissipates and looks normal.
Anyone else experience anything like this?

Yeah, I have.. I haven't noticed it's touch sensitive, but I've seen the problem while rebooting and also randomly while using the phone.. And it seems like for me the screen gets progressively worse and starts losing all contrast and fades to white. A reboot always fixes it.
My guess is something in the video drivers flips out. But the first time I saw it I thought I had a hardware problem because I found it that way in the morning out of the blue, but I guess it had started doing it 'itself' overnight or something.

I dont think it has anything to do with the screen itself. But the digitizer and the multiple layers on top of the screen that the digitizer is composed of.
Newton's rings isn't it?

Yes that is exactly it - the diffraction of light between 2 surfaces, is it normal; however?
Thanks!

Nooo, then maybe what I'm talking about is different. I'm talking crazy screen, weird 'rippling' going on, screen slowly turns more and more white. I know what newtons rings are.. It's sorta visible in sunlight.
So perhaps I'm describing a different issue. Mine is definitely something with the phone, not the layers.

Screen bleeding

I got my O2x a week ago, in the first few days, backlight bleeding wasn't that obvious and it didn't affect me too much, but now its starting to get worse, in what ways can we fix it? Contact LG? Or get a new lcd screen panel and install it?
How does screen bleeding look like?
I have visible light when display is completely black, but it certainly does not bother me. But i can't imagine how technically could it be getting worse - there are simply white LEDs and display, unless you smash the phone, they should be in same position forever
yes quite, i believe screen bleeding can not get worse over time, maybe its just you ?
cuz its nothing like a virus, that spreads.. its a completely mechanical thing that is affected only by force (kinda)
bleeding getting worse?
have you dropped your phone or something?
cause it will only get worse if something happened to your phone that the LCD itself misaligned (can't find the proper word ).
I have no idea but it seems like the whites are a little bit more visible when your booting (or complete black background)

Xperia Z3 Compact Screen Flickering at Random

I have a D5803 that came back from being serviced. The touchscreen went bad, so the whole assembly (screen + sensor) was replaced.
Since you have to almost completely disassembly the phone to get to the screen, I suspect something went wrong during the repair.
The screen is flickering at random. By flickering, imagine a bad fluorescent lamp: you can clearly see the brightness varying vary fast, causing a flicker effect. Also, imagina a CRT screen. The flicker stops when you refresh the screen, like cycling through the home screens of your phone.
The guy who repaired it said it is a bad resistor that controls the current going to the panel's backlight. His excuse is that the board is very thin and fragile and that something might happened during the repair service. He also said that if he tries to do something else, the problem might get worse/something else might break. I suspect the screen installed is not OEM and is of bad quality. Sometimes the screen keeps autopressing as if someone was actually touching the screen, but not. Wiping the screen down on soft clothes (cleaning it) solves the problem. The screen probably doesn't have an oleophobic coating.
So, my question is: Is this guy right or is he lying (trying to push me ****ty parts/service)? How to know?
Also, is it possible to have a slightly smaller sized screen part? Because it feels that the screen area has decreased a bit (bezel increased somewhat). But since I do not use this phone since almost two years ago, I might be imagining things.

Screen won't show after cracking the screen

So my phone cracked up today(rip) while I was doing some gym exercises. The phone fell from like 1.5 metter or so and the screen cracked.
The problem is that screen won't turn on, even when the phone looks like it works. I tried to furce shut down and turn it on and back and recents buttons work, but screen while stay black. What should I do? I will replace the screen but I'm not sure why screen won't show up, maybe something got disconected with the fell? Does anyone has any type of experience with this?

So, your screen is broken, and you need to have it repaired, what is the problem? Some parts still working?
Just get it fixed...

I really don't know why you asked this question, but I always try to be helpful. Since you did drop it, and from such a height (do you like keep your phone in your pocket while doing pull-ups? Mine's always in my bag and I use BT earphones).
Since your screen is cracked, and that impact could've damaged your phone in many ways.
1. You could've damaged your digitizer, which is a screen replacement situation
2. You bent a cable from your screen to something else, and that may be the issue, still would need to replace the screen.
Your buttons working have no relativity with the screen not working, it works with other hardware not interacting with your screen.
Don't go for third-party screen replacements that "fixes your digitizer seperate from the touch", it mostly doesn't work, and it'll be a waste of money, if you bought it from OP Store, just RMA it, or if you bought it from a seller in your country, just order the screen off eBay, and have it fixed. Your shop will most likely replace it with a non original screen, which will be horrible.
Cheers!
I think he is confused about the glass versus the AMOLED panel. A lot of times, you see folks with broken glass, but the screen still works (still displays graphics) and he is wondering why that isn't the case. At least, that is how I'm interpreting the question.
The answer is that the "screen" is composed of layers. The top layer is the glass (which for Super AMOLED also incorporates the touch panel or digitizer) and below that is the AMOLED which actually displays the graphics.
Since the glass is broken, and the AMOLED is not working, it's possible (or even likely) that the AMOLED was also broken in the impact. Yes, it's also possible that a connector has come loose. But from what I'm reading, it's actually common for the AMOLED to break before Gorilla Glass does: http://www.gophermods.com/amoled-vs-lcd-tale-two-screens/
A lot of times when you see folks with glass broken, but everything (touch and graphics) still work, it may be with LCD screens; which are supposedly more durable (more possible for glass to break before the LCD).

Question Faint White Lines with Grainy/Noise on Display

Hi,
Got a new Moto Edge 20 Pro a couple of weeks back.
The display at low brightness has very noticable Faint White Lines and the display looks grainy, like newspaper texture almost like the Kindle Display.
At darkness, when the display refresh rate is set to auto, I can see the grainy noise and the white lines change when I touch the display.
Grey and White colors arent Pure Grey and White. When I use pwmfree 1.3 or OLED SAVER app, the white lines are almost gone (not entirely gone) and the grainy texture / noise increases.
Any idea whats going on, whether it is a software or a hardware issue ?
is there a way to get this fixed ?

The noise on the display is the nature of OLED displays. Or at least the one on this phone. I have a regular Edge 20, but they have the same display anyway. Same issue you pointed out: grain with certain colors and at lower brightness. And yes, I do get some vertical lines at the bottom of the screen. It's not defect, it's just the way it is.

I had an iPhone12 before this and that too had an OLED Panel, and I wasnt able to see anything like this.
And the Noise is not consistent. It's pretty freaking uneven and Its a total mess. To see the Noise completely, just open a 2% grey image or something and observe it. It's pretty abysmal. No way OLED displays are this bad.
I just think that Moto has crapped on its customers with a defective batch of Displays.
Also the situation gets better when you use pwmfree app.
The panel's gray uniformity is pretty bad. Im suspecting if this is a case of banding/dirty screen effect on oled screens, which is a defect and not a norm for an OLED Displays.

Ah, well, I haven't owned any expensive phones so I can't really compare to anything other than the Moto Z2 Play, which also had a grainy OLED panel. If I were you I'd be annoyed as well, but I payed a fraction of MSRP for my phone so I can't complain.

I have noticed a weird behavior with the display. forcing it to 60Hz by enabling power saving mode significantly reduces the grain and make the panel a lot more uniform.
