screen glitches and other concerns topic(pics +movie added)

I have some screen glitches and it is pretty annoying...
I notice it especially when in the browser and when the menu of the browser comes on the screen... Is this a hardware or a software problem?
Saw it on the home screen too sometimes when i want to scroll the homescreens the status bar glitches while scrolling...
Anyone noticed this?
Also when entering system task manager I always only have like 200mb free space? When i choose end all, i have like 300. So there is almost always 3/4 in use? Is this normal?
Other question:
I was trying teeter earlier, and It isn't as smooth as on other devices. The ball doesn't run smooth on the screen, it stutters especially when you tilt the phone and the ball should go fast... Anyone notice this too?
Other questions and concerns can be placed here.
I will also try to make a movie of the screen glitches...
Thanks for the answers!
Edit: So someone else posted pictures of the problem in dropdown menu in the browser, it is exactly the same as mine.

And a video also from the same user:
Glitch movie
And from another user who captured the status bar glitch(that i also have):
Status bar glitch

No my battery is 55% now, I played it again, and when also when trying to move the ball slowly, sometimes the balls makes a little 'jump' instead of rolling smooth...
And the glitches is, that the there are horizontal lines of the things on the screen, i don't know what could cause it?? Is it hard or software... Will try to make a little clip of it tommorow when it happens again.

I only have my phone for a day but I definitely encountered those screen glitches, i think 3 times since. It usually happened on top of the screen. I think it's only software bug(let's hope).

I did test one in three store and found it was lagging. Scrolling through different screens s sluggish very surprising and poor. The phone also froze hopefully it was software issue!!!

Anybody noticed a small blue patch on the screen? A few cases are reported in Singapore.
It can only be seen if the screen has a black background. Try using the camera app and cover the lens with your hands.

most reviewers except two reported no glitches, faulty units?

Same problems as the OP here.
All software bugs I would say, there are plenty of small software bugs/glitches I have found so far.
I think they'll release an update soon, well.. they should.

Remember many reviews were based on later firmware than is (currently) publicly available. If reviewers saw bugs in earlier firmware, then saw it fixed in final firmware, it would be unlikely that they'd mention the bugs. They wouldn't have been expecting units to reach retail before the updates (and their reviews) were available...

i think a lot of apps need to update for ICS and tegra 3. i don't even know what teeter is. but yeah maybe HTC has some updating to do, too.

i posted this in the other thread but got no response
reviewers who faced this related it to applied pressure on screen, when the affected area is pushed the screen might move a bit or flex and the glitch appear, can you test?
owners with the glitches should immediately contact HTC the more you complain the sooner you get a solution

we have one feedback so far

in my case it's not from pressure
it appears random sometimes
before I updated it I had the issue in music app where the red album art is displayed.. it always used to glitch in the middle of it
can anyone try that?
maybe it's a software bug after all

Hi all... I have the same glitch issue on my HTC One X. Often, in the botton of the screen, there's a wobbles but it isnt joint with the pressure of the screen.
For example, the issue doesnt appaer in the lock screen with One X on.
So... software issue? I hope...

Sounds correct though, if your still having screen issues after a factory reset, even after a few days - I'd get a replacement, could be faulty.

[Q]Any way to disable screen lock for incoming calls

If I turn on screen lock for security on incoming calls it asks me for the PIN prior to letting me answer.
never had this on my previous android devices
Samsung Galaxy S2
HTC Desire HD
Nexus One
Motorola Milestone
Is there any way to keep this feature on but allow incoming calls to be answered without it?

I have screen lock activated with a pin, but I can answer calls directly from the lock screen.
SIM card lock is not activated though.

No. Mine is set for 30 minutes.
OK, I will try. Give me 3 minutes

Work fine at 3 minutes settings too.
The PIN code screen comes after the call is ended.

Odd its only the 3min setting for me that gives me a problem lol. Im running Charmandar Rom v4.1.0

Hello
Sorry to hijack your thread but I just had a question. I want this feature and do you know how to activate it? I need a pin on my phone before anyone can answer calls. I had this feature on my old Motorola phones but then they moved to android and that feature was gone too.
Please let me know.
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

[Q] How to hang up ONE caller when in three way or conference or have two people on a

[Q] How to hang up ONE caller when in three way or conference or have two people on a line.
Does anyone have the same issue where they can't hang up only one person when they have two people on the line?
when I hit end it always hangs up everyone.
I called sprint and they told me that it was the phones lack of this functionality. so if that's true is there a way to mod the phone to be able to hang up only one person at a time?

I just hit swap and then the person im hanging up with disconnects from me
I like to break stuff!

Unfortunately Sprint is correct. This has been an issue since way back in the days. No mod has ever been made for Android. Brings back memories of when I had the Palm Treo I remember they did have a mod for that phone to enable call flash support. Hopefully someday we can enjoy it too. It's really useful!

Yeah but if that other person you swapped from doesn't hang up the line stays active and when you hang up your phone rings back with them on the line.

You have to hang up on the person you wish to hand up on before they hang up on you..It will end both calls but the person phone on the other line will call you back by itself like you never hanged up..try it..I learned this by accident. It's weird because the other person doesn't call you back..the phone does automatically..

I know what you mean. But that's kind of stupid that I have to wait for the call to come back and ring back to my phone. I would prefer to just instantly switch to the other line.
I'm wondering if anyone knows why this was never a mod that was made. are there certain complexities involved that can't be changed?

A Favour From Unrooted G4 Owners

All,
I'm sure there must be some unrooted owners out there. I am looking to have a question answered before I rebuild my G4 and wondered if someone or a number of people could confirm or deny something for me.
In my old version of lollipop in Do Not Disturb mode there was a tick box to allow calender notifications or not. In the Marshmallow iteration there is not.. I use Do Not Disturb through the night and since the factory reset Calender Notifications are audible when they didnt used to be no matter what I do.
I just need someone to confirm to me that while using do not disturb in priority mode with no applications allowed and messages turned off but all calls allowed whether Calender notifications are audible or whether they get suppressed as part of the Do not Disturb.
Is it possible for anyone to confirm or deny this for me please? I dont want to rebuild again only to find that "thats the way it is now"
Pleeeease can someone help
thanks

Can no-one try this for me?

H815 twn lp

Thanks for the picture. I guess the H815 in Europe must be totally different to the US one as thats not what I have at all..

I've never used any DND mode so unsure where it is you want me to look, I'm running unrooted (for now, another replacement) EE UK on LP.

Make sure your phone sounds are turned on before you do this not in vibrate or silent. Then, In sounds and notifications setting > Do not disturb. Turn it on, press sounds and vibrations and set to priority only. Go to select priorities and under app notifications make sure no apps are ticked. Set Calls from everyone and messages from no one.
Then with the star in the top left so you know priority mode is on, make a calendar appointment with an audible reminder for a couple of minutes ahead and then let me know if the reminder makes an audible noise or if the do not disturb suppresses it. You should get no other notifications at all, but any calls will ring.
IF you could do that and let me know the outcome it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Flashed LED and notification was on screen when turned on, but no sound.

You have the calender apps ticked as priority Nachttier73 so that should sound, can you Un tick them and see if you get the same sound?

Uh, I must read more carefully. You don't want to hear them... I'll be able to check it in a few hours.

Okay... No sound, no light with unselected apps.

Thanks guys, I'm guessing something has gone wrong with mine then and another factory reset is in order. I appreciate your time and help.

Strange that mine doesn't actually seem to have a DND function actually called that though, I assume it is the same as the interruptions on mine

well I factory rest mine and tried again and I still get notifications through from the calendar when DND is turned on.. officially giving up...

Here the same for me... DND on and still get notification sound from calendar both with stock Android M 20d and now with Imperium Rom 1.1
May be Android M bug with Lg G4?

Google Dialer App

I installed the Google Phone app from the play store. I set it as default phone app. I enabled all permissions including draw over other apps. I checked the notification settings and the priority is Urgent. All that being said, my screen does not turn on for incoming calls. I have to use fingerprint unlock to get my screen on and then I can swipe to answer the call. What setting am I missing to get my screen to turn on?

My LG8 is enroute, seems to work fine on the LG g6 i have it on.. will test next week on the G8

Dialer app working fine on the G6, my G8 came today, tested it there before I had to send it back. A replacement is coming in a few days.

I confirm the Google Phone app and also Orange Phone app do not wake up the screen . Simpler dialer app on the other side does...

My google phone app wakes the screen up without any issue G8 T-Mobile version

Maybe it's some kind of PERMISSIONS issue?

Same permissions for different apps..one does wakes up the screen, Google phone does not....
Back to default dialer for now

Google dialer waking screen here on a AT&T LG G8. I did have to "clear defaults" in the OEM dialer app (which is really contacts).

Just got the phone a few days ago and thanks to this thread for making me realize I could install the google dialer from the store. I experienced the same issue and then after a little digging it seems to work for me now after I turned off adaptive battery under Settings > General >Battery > Adaptive Battery. Because its installed from the play store it was considered a regular app as opposed to system and would get background restricted (in my case anyway). Also make sure background process is not restricted.

Still having issues
Guys, can you help me with this same issue? I have a factory unlocked G8 and tried everything mentioned so far in this thread. I can't get the Google Dialer to wake the screen, no matter what I do. Any other suggestions on what to try?
