New update messed the screen orientation - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Xt1900-7 variant, April patch.
After updating, every time i switch to horizontal position the screen goes black. When start to turn the phone, screen ligjts up again. It's like the screen dimmes itself when turning.
I tried factory reset, turning automatic turning on and off, automatic light on and off, nothing helps. Any ideas?

I'm having issues with orientation, but not the same as you. It seems my phone goes landscape at random times after the 8.1 update and gets stuck. The only thing that fixes it is to turn the screen off and on again.

You could always try locking your phone to vertical landscape with an app like this one to see if it helps. If it doesn't work for any reason, then just search. There are many others.

You could also try searching online for the devices 8.0 firmware and manually dialing it back.

Unfortunately mine works (1900-1 but should be the same) did you change any other settings or use a particular app that might help us recreate?

Solved. Summer caught me by suprise and i was just plain stupid [emoji38] Answer to my problems was to remove my sunglasses! First warm day and first time wearing shades, i never heard that non polarized sunglasses can make this weird effect when turning the phone. So it was just matter of timing and stupidity.
Case closed.

Screen responsiveness issues

Hello everyone.
I am on build number EVA-L09C02B123
My screen is not very responsive in some areas, sometimes in more than a few areas. It needs a firmer press.
Is this an issue address in the 30+ firmwares, or is it my device? anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
I only registered to confirm this issue on my P9 also!
I was starting to think my finger is failing
Just for correctness EVA-L09C432B136

same here on EVA-L09C150B121
I have a similar problem when I hold my phone in both hands. The palm of my hands are touching the screen because of the small bezel and that causes the touchscreen to be unresponsive in other areas. I'm also having the Vodafone version EVA-L09C02B123. Huawei should add some kind of detection like Apple has on the iPad since the Mini. That would fix it.
So it very well could be the firmware version.
I also had a Carphone Warehouse one at 131, and that worked like a charm. I guess we need to wait for Vodafone to roll out an update
I wrote already a mail to huawei regarding some issues, but i did not get an answer yet

it would be curious to see which model colours do which.
I have a white from CPW which was pre-scratched out of the box, with a hairline scratch visible against lamp lights - putting a tempered glass on hides this 100%. Still I wanted to return it, and get a black.
My black had terrible responsiveness issues. My white has none, they're almost not there. I think it could after all have something to do with the front panel's alignment to the digitizer.
It is so amazing that in this day and age we still have to worry about s**t like that (light bleeds, responsiveness, scratches out of the box)
I have this problem to and problem when change local memory to card sd. My phone freeze

L09 with 136 here (Titanium grey) and luckily I have no issues.
Good to know mate. I am starting to think this is a problem very similar to the Note 4 where in some units the glass panel was misaligned which required a firmer press on the back button.
I will try another dark from. Vodafone UK. They are on 123 version but the unit also costs 300 with them which is a steal
did anybody try to activate glove mode in settings? may be the display become more responsive
Good idea. I will try that.
I have some kind of theory.
When i turn display brightness up between 60-100% and start playing cpu intense games the following happens:
(Auto Brightness turned off)
1. Phone starts warming up significantly from the upside and continues to get warm until the bottom.
2. Display brightness suddenly starts changing (Thermal throttling!?)
3. Responsiveness decreases
4. Phone gets really really warm
(Auto Brightness turned off - between 30-50%)
1. Phone does not warm up so much. Still getting warm but okay.
2. Display brightness does not change anymore
3. Responsiveness much better with nearly no failures
I have the feeling that in B135 the phone was not getting as hot as in B136
Sometimes when i open phone and try answer to whatsapp, screen is very responsiveness.. And im using google keyboard.. Anyone got problem like this?
Having the same problem playing games. EVA L19 136. I'm sure it's a software bug. Waiting for an update...

How did you installed 136 on EVA-L19? 130 seems to be the latest version
It was an update that came automatically when I updated the phone. I live in Romania.
I'm also having screen issues but it seems to be the opposite of what everyone is describing :
- Unwanted touches even though I'm not touching the screen. Can happen several times in a row in the same area
- Bad scroll detection : the device often recognizes the first touch of a scroll as a selection, or interprets a selection while scrolling
- Bad long-touch detection
I'm going to send the device back to Amazon but I'm fearing this is not an hardware issue and knowing Huawei is really sloppy when it comes to sorting issues, I'm thinking it might be best not to get a new P9.
PS: I'm on build B136.
What do you think ?
I think it's a software issue with B136. What model do you have? Does your problem happen at certain times or all the time?
I have P9 EVA-L09 bought in France.
It happens almost all the time but to a certain degree : sometimes it's very subtle, but sometimes the device goes crazy and starts taping on its own, opening links I didn't select, etc. Quite a nightmare.
Have you tried to Factory reset it? Or manually install some other verion of the official rom?

Faded/washed display after Oreo update.

So after this much anticipated Oreo release, my display has been left faded looking. It's as though you have the brightness turned all the way up which washes out the color, but even when it's turned down. It's rather frustrating & sRGB is not ticked. Please tell me this isn't the new display & what I could possibly do to change it.
Edit: Also just realized when I change my screen mode in display settings, nothing happens. I can even turn the red, green and blue all the way down with no effect. Anyone else experiencing this issue with Oreo?
Have to say no, that has not happened for me. Display looks the same and changing display settings changes the screen for me. Perhaps a reboot might help...
Do a Full reset, sounds like the ota bugged your settings out.
I've been on Oreo since the release and haven't had any issues with screen color or resolution.
Did you proceed to do the above posted steps? I myself would also say to factory reset the system.
If so, would you mind letting us know how it went and if it fixed the issue at hand.
The only place I've noticed something like this, is when using Google Maps through Android Auto, with my Vehicles display. I get the faded or Ghosting on the display. If I change from maps, to phone and back to maps it's fine again. But it's only temporary. This all started after I got the Oreo update. I'm still actively troubleshooting to find out if the cable is the problem or if it's related to the phone.
after 2 resets im good. started device as new and bo restoration of apps/go from there

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?

Manual brightness problem

Hi guys, a question: setting the brightness manual, you noticed by chance if entering some Apps like Facebook, Gmail etc the same is lowered and then return to the set value when you leave? Thanks to those who will answer
Nobody knows the problem?
Mines a bit dodgy too. To me seems like it doesnt dim unless i turn it down to about 20%. 20-70 doesnt seem to dim or get brighter.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I notice that the manual set brightness is lowered when I enter the Facebook app for example.

Well if like me you're on c782, good luck getting a fix in the UK. Networks have to verify the updates for my model.. doesnt happen.
I've been having some issues with manual brightness. Sometimes it takes setting the brightness twice (dragging the knob a bit to have it actually change brightness) , and less often automatic brightness will turn itself back on.

Thats exactly what i get.
Auto brightness re-enables on every reboot. Huawei say its normal. I say its a mistake they cant be bothered to fix.

Why is it like this here? I bought it out of contract and now I'm getting aware that since I've put a Vodafone sim in it, I need to wait for their updates. What's the point in buying it sim free then???

Its a deal they have with networks, it auto brands as soon as you add the sim. Only way around it is to install the C432 firmware which is eu but not too sure how good that would be in the UK

No, c781. The firmware release will be long, always as they want to fix the bug.

No, thats not why it takes so long. C432 is getting monthly security patches.

I am new to the Huawei environment, and I noticed this too...my OCD is quite relentless, so I noticed this straight away...I just don't know whether it is a feature for bright background apps...or a glitch...but it is there...so I checked the Auto Brightness box to stop it!

COR-L29 8.2.0. 131 - Weird touchscreen behavior - Please Advice

Hey everyone,
I recently bought my new Honor Play.
First night I noticed something but didn't have time to investigate it any further.
When my device is laying on the table or bed I can't fully control the screen (top and bottom).
For example:
I want to bring my notification/settings area down and its not reacting (using cut-out, tried full bar ... same result).
Neither is the navigation button (using 1 but tried it with 3 ... same result).
The weird part is that it's happening only if the device is laying directly on something (table/bed/box/etc.).
I assumed that it could be something with gyroscope, but when the phone is horizontal in hands (tested with compass gyroscope 0°) everything is fine.
Ok i guessed it could be a few things, so here is the list of what I already tried:
fingerprint scrolldown notification X
smart & automatic rotation X
unwanted pocket call accept X
different notification bar settings X
different navigation bar settings X
different themes (original x usermade) X
different screen settings (FHD+/ HD+; small/medium/big text and view mode)
-
everything with/without protective case (product ID : 51992528)
I noticed it the first night (sunday) and since then i received two or three updates and it's still the same. Now I'm a bit worried it can be a HW thing.
OR
Could it be from a protective glass ? On second thought I dont think it is when its OK when not laying on smthing...
Thanks everyone for advice!
Have you removed the screen protector to verify that? I would advise you reset the phone after that. Don't forget to backup your data.
Is it one of those glove mode or pocket mode things?

Tried both. No effect.
Anybody with Honor Play who can try it?
I'm wondering if it's just me.
Sounds like a poor grounding of the display digitalizer. I’m afraid it’s a hardware defect. Mine has no problem detecting fingers when it’s on a table.

I can't reproduce your problem with my Honor Play. It's in a case, no screen protector though. It acts exactly the same whether it's lying down on a table or I'm holding it.
I have the same thing, bought a 15€ screen protector so I ain't peeling this off..
Gotta take a look from the settings. Will update on it soon.
Me too I am having this weird touch behavior and I don't know whether it's a hardware issue or a software one
