Interesting find, unsure if it's just a bug or a screen issue.
When I have done uniformity tests everything is fine, however today I have noticed that when I used Huawei Video, the background where you can select video's from. There was different shades throughout the screen, but once I pulled down the notification draw and swiped it away the screen went back to one natural shade. This keeps happening, but I've only noticed it with this video application.

Right one is after restarting the application.
(That's not a green line down the left it's just the way that the photo is taken)

Does the same in youtube dark mode when scrolling through the comments. Most likely a bug with the display driver that isn't properly rendering greyish colours.
I'll check YouTube, I use vanced which doesn't seem to have any issues.

Yeah I think vanced dark mode is pure black while stock youtube is grey.
I have the Dark Theme on Vanced which is the same as the official YouTube. Both are ok, have no issues. Google messages and Zetatorrents are Dark with no issues.
Just seems to be the Huawei Video which is mainly after you have started a video.

Try open YouTube, play a video. Watch it full screen landscape mode for a few seconds. Then rotate back to portrait then scroll to comments. The effect then sometimes shows itself. It's a bit hit and miss which is why I think it's a driver problem and not the actual display.

Yes down the right side in both apps has a lighter gradient.

I removed the Power genius application from the system using adb shell pm uninstall--user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Now I don't have any problems with the screen having any gradients of the background colour. This seems to have fixed the issue. As well as the screen dimming in manual brightness mode.

This isn't a complete fix, but seems to reduce the washed out image/over exposed home screen from watching videos in full screen mode.
Settings -> Developer options -> Checkmark Disable HW overlays -> Checkmark Force GPU rendering
See if this helps because either I'm loosing my mind or this actually helps - a bit. :angel:
I tried it and it didn't make any difference to me.
Enable he overlay will cause G movie play not rendering just fyi

So this doesn't work? I am getting tired of Netflix and other videos washing out on me. This isn't a hardware problem, is it?
Yes it breaks Google Movies. It seems to reduce the gamma overkill from watching full screen videos, but it is still there. It doesn't hurt you at all to try it and if it doesn't work just disable it again. Personally it seems to have helped slightly.
I'm having an issue when I am watching a movie or youtube in landscape mode the screen starts to darken until it shuts off the screen. I went into developer mode and disable HW overlays, it made it go away. What are your thoughts? Sorry if I'm deviating from topic.
Hello, who knows how to get rid of automatic color popping mode when playing videos, i ve noticed it on youtube.
Possibly by going into Setting>Display>Color mode & Temperature and change your color settings through there.
Yes despite activating normal colors setting, the color turns satured automatically when playing a video. That is a huge limitation. Weird from huawei

Looks fine to me, but I would blame the app writers.
Seems like the Video Enhance mode on Samsung S8/9.

Why dont they simply add an option to disable that. I like natural colors
Try watching a YouTube video or use Google maps with picture in picture enabled then try to change apps via recents button or tapping a notification. For me on the US unlocked Note 9 whenever I do this it reduces to picture in picture but goes to the home screen instead of switching to whatever app selected from recents or notification. If I turn off PIP in the app settings it behaves normally. And the Note 8 does not do this for me. Anyone else getting this result?

I just tried it with YouTube. It worked just fine for me. I'm on the N960F (Exynos) though. But at least I can confirm it doesn't appear to be ALL Note 9 devices. Perhaps it's a Snapdragon issue, or something that's just impacting U.S. models (for some reason). Or maybe it's just your phone. [emoji53]

Has anyone ever seen a white glow while watching a YouTube video. If I am watching in landscape or portrait every once and a while there is a white glow from the top of the screen.

Motion Sense?

I am unsure i am going to do more research in to this...
You can wave your hand above the phone to skip tracks in apps like Spotify and YouTube or snooze alarms. When you do either, you'll see a subtle glow move across the top edge of the display, indicating that the Soli radar sees your hand and recognizes its placement. research lol
It's motion sense.
It's to show there's a new notification received while you're in full screen mode. Goes away after a few seconds.
it's the phone letting you know motion sense can be used while using that app - such as in google play music, or spotify, or tidal, or youtube, etc...
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.
