They're pretty random, but it can easy be reproduced while changing volume.
Do any of you face this bug?

Just tried it with PUBG mobile, can not reproduce this..

do you have asphalt 9, if yes can you test it?

Yeah, I have the same issue. But if you start the match in PUBG, there won't be any artefacts. I would guess it is game related, cause the artefact only in the main menu.

it was happened on my xz1 on oreo, but its gone with pie update

Pie update didn't help me
Also issue reproduces in NFS No Limits. But not that much as in asphalt 9

Hi, i have the same problem with artifacts, and they also reproduced every time by pressing volume button. I also noticed that when you change the screen resolution in the game to a lower one, the size of the area with artifacts increases, so the problem is probably not in the display itself, it is in the GPU.
It is strange that there are so few reviews about this here, because judging by the Russian-speaking forum 4 PDA - the problem is quite common.
Also, i just find interesting thing , If you enter the developers menu and turn on the "Disable hardware overlay" option, the artifacts disappear ?. discovered just that, in the game oddworld new n tasty.

THANK YOU
I had ssme isue on my XPERIA XZ PREMIUM (pie) in oddworld, mudrunner and ark, u saved me from giving up on this rom

All Flash video has subtle flickering = render problem ?

I hope I am not the only one with this problem, cause I suspect it must be a software/render problem with android mediaplayer/web browser. On all flash videos I get close to transparent greyish/blackish flickering, it is kind of subtle but very irritating, and it does not look very beautiful... I wonder is there any way to fix this problem ? I think I did read somewhere the problem is that screen is 24 bit...and android is 16 bit but yeah I certainly hope there is a solution, and that is not a hardware problem...
I can for instance tell you, the brightness lightness samsung video does not have this kind of flicker...
What are the sites your viewing?
for instance youtube,.
No flickering here. Youtube, engadget, embedded videos all play smoothly at 480p-1080p. Try updating your firmware to a newer.
This sounds like the problem I'm having. Flash videos play smoothly but the top half the screen has a very annoying flicker.
It happens in all flash videos, in all browsers. Other file types play without any problem though so it's very strange
Hey! My first post here on XDA! Just got my Note and I have the same problem as described above.
The strange thing is that the flicker on the right side (or top side if in horizontal mode), is really noticeable in lower resolutions up to 720p, but nonexistent in 1080p!?
For example, watch the first 15 sec on the Cars 2 trailer in 720 p. and see if you got it.
[I can't post a link as a new user apparently, but Google it.]
Do you guys think it is a software related issue that probaly can get fixed or should I return the phone?
Please give me some advice!
Same problem.. Does someone know what to do about it?

graphical artifacts on my tab

Hello guys,
I have some strange artifacts on my screen. First time I noticed this was on youtube. it shows some strange picture tearing on the left lower corner of the screen. First I thought it was some glitch in youtube app, but later i discovered similar glitch in some flash video. I noticed that it's most visible in Anomaly HD, where allmost entire lower left corner somehow flickers. no other games or apps seem to have this kind of problem, 720p HW accelerated video plays like a charm
Is this problem caused by apps, or is it faulty tegra 2? Can I try another display driver? Anyone else encountered this kind of glitch?
I uploaded video captured on my Galaxy W - it's most visible on Anomaly HD
Try a custom from. If it does not work, you might have a messed up GPU
I am currently using overcome 2.3.1, but i had this issue on stock as well...what's bugging me is the fact that no other app or game I've tried seems to be affected
for example shadowgun, zen pinbal thd, modern combat 3...all those games are working with no problem...might as well wait for official ICS update and see if it helps.
ok another funny thing: after installing latest AOKP ROM this happens when booting (same thing happens in CWM recovery after installing CWM suggested in thread)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQp39SvzNtg&feature=g-upl
here is the original video, seems i somehow messed up inserting the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyKITveorwY&feature=g-upl
EDIT:
i'm starting to thing there's something really wrong with my tab...this iswhat i have after applying motley kernel (no screen shifting on previous kernel)
Could my problem be somehow kernel related?
video:

EDIT2:
seems like i'm not the only one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513949
I have this problem too. I see it in the lower left corner of the screen when scrolling through the video wall in the youtube app. If I turn the tab upside-down in landscape mode the flashing/tearing happens in the lower right corner of the screen. However, the problem does not seem to happen in the portrait mode at all.
I'm on stock unrooted rom.
Can you try flashing cm rom with latest recovery? I'm unable to flash latest build with my current recovery. If I flash recovery recomended in the cm tgread my screen starts to scroll from the bottom to the top. If I try to flash the rom with this new recovery same thing happens when booting...same goes with motley kernel as documented in videos above. Anyone else is having this problem? I can live with some screen tearing but that scrolling pisses me off...it makes newer cwm recovery unusable for me.

It's just as esqauw said...when i turn tablet upside down bug appears on different spot ( right lower corner screenwise, left upper corner tabletwise ). I believe tis has to He somehow related to software, because it appears elsewhere on the screen...might be completely wrong off course. Any oppinions?

Same here
I was about to link you my thread on this but I see you found it already. I have not looked into this for a few months.
For me the problem is inconsistent so it is difficult to test. Id think if it were a hardware issue then most if not all apps would be affected. Maybe the way the affected apps are writing to the screen is triggering it. Id also think more people would be reporting the problem.
Different roms don't seem to help which could point to hardware or some low level (lower than rom?) software cause. I watched your videos of the boot screens post kernal changes and I have not had that type of problem yet. But I have not rooted or tried other roms either. This may support the low level software cause.
Your information adds support to a software cause with the artifacts appearing in different parts of the screen when rotated. I think a hardware cause would mean a consistent location on the screen.
I cant find the threads now but Ive seen mention that Samsung's implementation of the screen and Tegra 2 on the 8.9 causes a performance lag in landscape that does not appear in portrait. The 10.1 does not have this problem. Maybe this is related to that. The lack of the artifacts in portrait mode would lend support to this.
I hope you find a fix but Ive resolved myself to living with it. Although, I should probably look at warranty options before it expires.
Good luck
What do the graphics look like on this free graphics benchmark app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.standard&hl=en
I get 2281 in quadrant. lt runs smooth with no problems or glitching. but it runs in portrait mode which does not appear to have the bug.
Given that bug does not happen in portrait mode I'm leaning toward the problem being the performance lag issue I mentioned above.
Same here
Sent from my GT-P7300 using XDA
Ok, so I have to clarified couple of things about lag and stuff.
1. I was played GTA 3 v1.3 with all the in-game setups at max and with frame limiter disabled. It has lagged as hell! Then, I switched the game to "Zoom to fill screen" and the game runs very very very smooth but the screen resolution became low. This is applied also to Asphalt 6 and other HD games.
2. The tablet runs smoothly in Portrait Mode. The stock launcher from 3.2 runs perfectly in portrait for me.
3. I tried to overclock up to 1.5 GHz and tried again to play GTA 3 with the option "Stretch to fill screen" and it LAGS! Tried with "Zoom to fill screen", no lag at all but screen resolution problem. Otherwise, is playable
I think all it's related to software. Hardware is quiet good. Maybe if we change the DPI the lag will dissapear, don't know
Jellybean seems to fix it
Well I tried the AOSP 10 beta 8 build and CM10 latest build and they both appear to have fixed the problem. AOSP seems a bit better performance wise so ill be sticking with that for the foreseeable future. I guess it was software after all.
I have the exact same issue with newly bought tab 8.9 on youtube app. and I didn't use alot of other apps but the apps I tried never had issues with the screen. The tab is all stock.
so, what we have concluded here is that it is a software issue or some hardware issue that should be taken care of by the warranty?!
Well it seems that it's software issue,because after flashing CM10 preview, those artifacts dissappeared.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda app-developers app
That's great news. But that leads to another question
Do all gtabs 8.9 have the same issue using HC 3.2? So that we can say that we have a software issue only? Or is the issue related to some faulty SoCs that may show these artifacts using stock software?
I just want to make sure that it is a software issue only as I think I can make use of the warranty at the moment if it is a hardware issue
Thanks for sharing the tip

[Q] 4X issues. Camera, youtube, game lags, incoming call screen lag.

Hi, this is David. I have the optimus 4x, and i have to admit that it's one of the best devices i've owned so far, i've just been wondering about a few issues that shouldn't exist with a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. I will list them here and wish anyone could help.
1- The Camera
Not the video focusing issue which is fixed after the V10e update, now it's photos turn. When i open the camera, everything looks sharp and great, but it's not after capturing the photo because when i look at the photo in the gallery, it's somehow out of focus and the picture looks ugly overall. I've tried resetting the camera settings and tried other camera apps but no difference.
2-Game lags
That's something i saw people talking about and they said that these games aren't optimized for Tegra 3 because it was new in the market. So now why they're still lagging, even very basic games like subway surfers.
3-Incoming call screen lag
This screen is represented in two ring buttons (accept or reject) with waves coming out of them, i have to say this screen is very laggy so i can't just swipe my finger to accept the call but i have to do it slowly and wait a second before it's done of accepting the call.
4-Youtube
Sometimes a video lags once or twice in a 5 mins video which doesn't happen when watching other videos in gallery.
Yes, i know that's too much issues but what makes me confused is the device's overall speed when browsing the web and others... Even the benchmarks are showing excellent scores that sometimes beat the HTC one X. So what could be the problem?!
2. - on my , lags also Tegra optimized games ... so LG FW suck ... wait for JB, and after that (if stock dont fix it) come CM
Odd... I've had two different Call screens. One was with the circles to swipe like the S2/S3, the other was with square buttons to tap. Don't remeber in what app I was when the screen changed tho.
I've never noticed the lag in the incoming call screen, or maybe I didn't bother with it. As for YouTube it naever game me issues.

one is when you recieve a call while device is locked (the swype one), the other one is when you recieve the call when it's unlocked (button one)
i have no lag on youtube, gaming is great with a slowdown now-and-then (NFS MW, for example. Vice City played with no lag at all), and camera is as good as any smartphone, even though i didn't quite test it as mmuch as i should've.

Oh I see, I got the button call once when I was messing around with my phone (First day I got it).
Vice City gives me no issues whatsoever, no lag at all just a short audio pause once in a while but hadly noticeble.
NFS works well IF there are only 2-3 card rendered on-screen, otherwise the framerate just drops. I believe it's the reflections... if there would be a way to disable them on other cars and keep them on yours the game would run smooth. Funny how the lag itself gives me a warning.. if framerate drops be sure there's a roadblock ahead.
All the other games I've played so far are smooth (Asphalt 7, NOVA 3, Shadowgun.)
As for the camera, I haven't really tried it. I'm not the photo-taker kind of guy.

I don't know what's wrong with your phone. It's rather odd.
I'm on Stock ICS with v10h (no flashes, no root, I have the phone as I recieved it). I'm halfway trought Asphalt 7 same as for Vice City.
NOVA 3 gave some lag issues on the first level then it stopped. Shadowgun (Specially the second one, the multiplayer) gave me no lag at all, everything is fine.
The one thing that bugs me about the phone currently is the poor battery life. Think that if you have 2150 mAh your battery would last, but nope. It's the poor LG software and bloadware that sucks it up, I might root my phone once JB rools out to get rid of some useless services.

Tab S2 display "issue"

I'm having an odd issue... Anyone with the 9.7 while holding the tab in portrait view on a screen with lots of text or horizontal lines and plenty of scrolling: while scrolling, does anyone else's display seem to scroll sloppy? The right side of mine scrolls faster than the left. Marginally slower, but noticeable. Makes scrolling seem wavy or wobbly or bendy from right to left. If it's just me, I'm going to exchange this one.
I understand about refresh rates n such. I'm going to Bestbuy today to test the floor model.
OK to update: I tested the floor model at a different Bestbuy than the one I purchased mine at and experienced the same "wavy bendy effect" while vertical scrolling in portrait. So, I'm going to assume it's normal and the refresh rate just can't keep up with high resolution and dpi. In case any other S2 owners see this effect.
Have you show this problem to any of you friends or family, can they see your problem, as some people can be more sensitive to screen refresh problems than others, also oled display can have refresh rate problems.

I have. Unfortunately I'm the only one who can see it. Then again I can spot a dead pixel from 10 feet away. :silly:
I had the original Samsung Note 1 phablet and it had an problem with ghosting while scrolling though menu`s ect, the oled pixels take an lot longer to wake up than lcd pixels, so Samsung sent out an firmware update that kept the pixels on at a very low level all the time to increase the refresh rate and fix the problem with the ghosting.
It been an few years since the Note 1, and oled display have advanced since then, but trying to make the oled displays more efficient i hope they have not turned off the pixels completely or low as they can get away with most people cannot see the refresh problem but you can.
I don't know if this is the reason you are having the problem, it could be something else completely.
Have a look in the developer menu in settings, try the use gpu when drawing or whatever it`s called and see if it makes any difference.

I'm thinking they may have turned them back off. The blacks are very black compared to my other devices. Hmm. I have updated to 5.1 to see if that'd resolve it but it didn't. It's not a huge issue, just weird to see but once I get used to it I'll be alright. Hopefully. lol
Motion Blur is what we called it, not ghosting have a look at the link below, it shows motion blur on the S4 see video, I could not see the problem myself (don't have fighter pilot eyes ) , see if it is the same problem you are having or is it something else.

I'm having issue with screen turning pink when using Chrome as browser. It happens only for 10 to 15 seconds. I wonder if that's hardware or adaptive display problem.

Similar. But instead of it being uniform horizontally across the display, it gets "worse" from right to left more than likely because of the resolution and DPI compared to the S4. But same effect.

That I would say is not normal. Is it only Chrome or are there any other apps that exhibit this color change?

The Tab S has the same issue, but it only happens in portrait mode, seems to be ok in landscape. If i flip the tablet 180 in portrait mode it will do it the opposite way, so its not an optical illusion!
It seems like the control chip for the display is suffering some sort of micro lag.
Have you tried the "forced GPU rendering" in the Developer option, I mentioned in post 6.
John.
Nothing solves it, its just the way it is. I gave up bothering about it and forgot about it until this thread . Another reason to stick with 16:10 instead 4:3.
Indeed. Forced GPU rendering changes nothing. That's one of the first things I tried.
Have you tried playing an HEVC H.265 1080p video yet, to see if it stutters like it does on the S1, the S2 is supposed to have hardware decoding, the S1 uses software decoding that kills the battery and stutters.
HEVC H.265 are half the size of normal H.264 video`s for the same quality.
John.
I have a black and white Tab S2 9.7 and both have the same issue. It doesn't look like motion blur, it looks almost like an intentional wavy/wobble animation when scrolling in any app. Which is why I was looking for an option that toggles it. It's very noticeable by anyone who has used it. I pre-ordered it so I didn't get to test it at Bestbuy before hand. I've never seen this scrolling issue on the old Tab S, Nexus 9 or even an IPad Air 2, I've had all three of them. Just when I think I've found a decent android tablet another issue pops up. If there is no fix and this is considered "normal" then I'll be returning them.

I played a heavy HEVC 4096x1720 and it plays the video perfectly on the standard videoplayer, but it stutters when using VLC so I guess the standard videoplayer has a way to hardware-decode this while VLC-player has to use software decoding?
Very nice, hevc hardware decoding is the only thing i am envious of the S2, And 4096x1720 is amazing, unless it`s only really processing the max resolution of the display, and with the stock Samsung player too, does it support AC3 audio though in the stock player.

The name of the file is tos-4096x1720-tiles.mkv, unfortunately the standard player does not support the used audio codec in that container. When I check the file it says 5.1 sound.
VLC does play the audio but as already said the video stutters heavily.

Issues encountered so far

Hi,
I am seriously considering returning this. Its so nearly great but my unit is suffering from the following:
1. Stuck on Android 8 and Feb update. See seperate thread.
2. Touch screen touch sensitivity has some real issues. Scrolling around will occasionally "jump" or reverse direction briefly. I see this a lot on cheaper Android devices.
3. The default notification sound is a ringtone that goes on for 20 seconds approx. I have to change this for every type of notification for every app.. Its maddening.
4. Camera is... meh. Good for the price, but a long way off the top tier.
5. Auto brightness isnt good. Changes too fast, too often. Its all over the place.
UPDATE! 6. Developer Options seem totally broken. Settings dont persist or they do and the UI doesn't remember selections. What a mess.
NOTE - there are lots of positives, but these are well covered elsewhere.
All in all... this feels like any other cheap-ish Android phone. Needs updates, and dont kid yourself that this is the bargain of the century. Its good value, but its clear where compromises have been made.
Lot of bluetooth issues with 8.1. Sound is lagging when paired to my Sony WH-1000XM2. Other devices might loose connection after a while and needing to be re-paired.

2. Is the touchscreen a software issue?
3. Surely there has to be a better way of dealing with this notification ringtone? - Anyone got any ideas?

For 3, I may have solved this myself - there is a default notification sound option which can be changed from the 20 (approx) seconds ringtone. I changed this and still got 1 of the long notifications, but the rest were normal.
As for 2), hopefully this is a software issue. The touch panel has a firmware version which is why I am so keen to get the 8.1 update (as it *may* have a newer version?) as mine is stuck on older software.
I have problems over several apps:
- Instagram no sound in stories
- Snapchat video quality is very very poor and pixilated
- Camera Zoom in Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp sometimes works and sometimes not.
- Stock Camera app, sometimes there are glitches when the camera is switching from wide to tele in lowlight.
- Playstore and Recent apps window sometimes lags
Anyone else experiencing those bugs?

I just checked your first 3 issues, I don't have any of them. I didn't notice any glitches with the camera either yet, but I haven't tested it that much. Only thing is the lag when switching between recent apps, Playstore works fine though. Maybe try and clear the cache of the apps you have problems with? Or maybe you didn't update them?

i just found out that my instagram audio is not working when i have my phone in vibration mode instead of ringing mode, although media volume is on max.
As soon as i change into ringing mode the sound in my instastories is working! Should be a software bug, but not sure if from instagram or nokia.
EDIT: are you able to do a smooth zooming in snapchat or only "1 step"? Because after reinstalling the app i was able to fully zoom in, exactly how i am used to it. Afterwards i started the stock camera app tapped the x2 button to zoom in. Then when i went back to snapchat i was only able to zoom "1 step" like i would press the x2 button in the camera app, instead of a continuous zoom.
My volume key temporary disabled after use instagram or some local apps. Uninstall TalkBack help me this. You guys who had trouble with sound should try.
I can agree to some of these issues.
The most annoying by far is the auto brightness. Sometimes when I unlock the phone it turns the brightness all the way down, even when I'm outside. Makes the screen all but unreadable. More interesting is that it makes the adjustment even though the auto-adjustment is turned off.
The bluetooth sound is choppy sometimes.
No complaints on the screen or the camera from me.

Infact uninstalling talkback and a few other useless apps solved my instagram problem with no audio in the stories! Thanks for that hint. :good:

yeah, the auto brightness does not work as good as it should. Just had a 2 hours call with a bluetooth headset and everything was just fine! Maybe you could try a different protocol in the developer settings for bluetooth codec?
Hey everyone !
I received my N7P a few days ago and i noticed that everytime i record a video, this message pops up : "OZO audio is deactivated".
I live in France and this the European model.
Do you have the same problem ?
I noticed that they also removed the face unlock. Any news on that ?
Thanks for the support guys ! :good:

Lot of bluetooth issues with 8.1. Sound is lagging when paired to my Sony . Other devices might loose connection after a while and needing to be re-paired.

Hey, I am curious about how the WH-1000XM2 sounds in nokia 7 plus. Is it better or worse than your other devices except for the lag?
I'm in the UK, just the received the phone and am also stuck with the 8.0 + Feb security patch. It's saying I'm up to date.
Also, is anyone else's system storage taking up 14GB? Should it be that big? It's already using 22% before I've even installed an app. Tried a factory reset and same thing.

Face unlock = trusted face?
You can find trusted face in Settings>Security & location>smart lock>trusted face

I don't have that. Sure you didn't misread "trusted place"?

It is on par with my other phones as far as I can tell. Then again I'm not too picky on sound quality.

Nope, but I am still on 8.0. May be different on 8.1?

8.1 here. Not there anymore.
Anyone know how to turn off 'vibration' when you unlock with fingerprint scanner?
Thanks
