Hi guys
has anyone else experianced a flickering every now and then when using the media link accessory. It occurs every few seconds and caused the picture to bounce, with a usually green band on the bottom part of the screen. Ive started to use zoom to get rid of the banding on my tv - not ideal and the boucing is still there.
this is occuring on all my videos, using both mobo and gallery.
Ive got samsung plasma 50 inch tv, it also occurs on my 23inch led sammy and my 40inch sammy lcd (older tv). ive fiddled with my networks and cannot get rid of the problem, i think there maybe an issue with the firmware on the device but need other people to say they are also having this issue before i go to htc.
thanks guys

I received a DHD today and am terribly excited as this is my first smart phone!! I do have one problem though:
When playing videos on say, the BBC iPlayer website, the right part of the video has about half a centimetre of artifacts down the side. Like that part of the video is covered by smoked glass (best way I can describe it). Every video on that site is the same.
Youtube is picture perfect however. Additionally, when I use the iPlayer app or view 4OD videos on the website (in HQ) there is no artifacting on the right of the video, but instead, on the bottom (about 2mm wide).
It's consistent and happens with all the videos on those sites. No where else have I seen this problem mentioned online, which is really frustrating because I feel like the phone is perfect in every other way! I have updated to Flash 10.2 and tried different web browsers, the problem is the same in each.
I'd just like to get the video on iPlayer et al working as well as the videos on YouTube. I hope that's reasonable.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
i'd have to double check, but im 99% sure i've had the same.
I guess it's flash, but who knows
It's really quite weird, as though it occurs in Flash 10.1 and 10.2, it seems to happen on the stock DHD browser and also the Dolphin browser. And it happens in slightly different ways whether the item is differing quality. But Youtube Flash video is absolutely perfect in all viewing options.
My DHD has come from Vodafone if that means anything!
It's a little disappointing as one would expect them to have worked out the obvious visual kinks before releasing the software! Especially as the DHD has such a cinematic display and the BBC iPlayer/Flash video is such an attractive selling point. The DHD is otherwise great to consume media on.
I'd hate to send the phone back and have the same problem with a new handset. Especially as I'm really attached to this little phone now! =)
A minor update to my saga of finickyness!
Both Dolphin and Miren browsers have the same rendering issue on BBC iPlayer (I suppose because they use the stock browser to render thingies).
Skyfire also seems to play the iPlayer videos with the minor artifact at the bottom, when in default mode and the artifacts on the right when in 'android' mode. Further research is commencing. I suppose it must be a Flash problem, but if it is, I'm surprised that no one else seems to have noticed this issue.
If any artifacts appear, your DHD most likely has a hardware issue.
I'm popping to Vodafone (later) today to see if any of the Vodafone handsets have a similar issue. Luckily I am within the 7 day period, so I can get a replacement if it's faulty.
It's a shame if it's a hardware issue. I can't fix that. =(
I solved the problem! Am posting for lawrence750 and any future users who happen upon this thread. It seems that installing Flash 10.2 and then uninstalling it fixed the issue entirely. Reinstalling Flash 10.2 causes the issue to return. I'm sticking with 10.1 until Adobe can get their act together!
Its strange that I actually originally upgraded to 10.2 on order to fix the problem in the first place, but since downgrading the videos are now picture perfect. =D
thnx for the info.will help many.
Hello, I've been a member for a while and I can usually figure problems out on my own just by searching, but this is something I haven't seen anything on after some pretty extensive searching (unless I'm just searching wrong). When I try playing most videos, they play as normal, but all the colors are green. There is also a pink color, but it is stretched and doesn't seem to line up with the green portion of the video (which looks to have the proper ratio). This happens in the YouTube app, when I'm screen mirroring on my TV, and in YouTube via Chrome (but only when not in full screen).
Does anybody have experience with this or know why this might be happening? The videos were working before I installed this rom, and it's not this way for all videos, just most of them. Again, these are standard YouTube videos that I have no trouble playing on my computer or TV, and some videos will even display properly on my phone while I'm screen mirroring, but will be green/pink on the TV simultaneously.
I've also attached some pictures so you can see what I mean, since I'm not quite sure how to describe it.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix for it?
EDIT: I've done some more searching around and found some people that have had similar issues, but on PC and not Android. It seems their fix is to disable hardware acceleration, but I don't see anything like that anywhere in the settings. Should I install a new kernel? Could that be part of the problem?
Edit2: I'm going to try flashing a new rom tonight to see if anything changes, will edit with any updates.
Flashed SlimKit yesterday, videos work like a charm now. Seems there may have been an issue with either the ROM or kernel I was using before. Mods, feel free to close/delete this.
Hi.
I recently noticed that the screen is performing some sort of auto-dimming when displaying content, just like Samsung TVs do on Dinamic Mode. This is not to be confused with auto-brightness, it's something completely different that happens at every brightness level and in every screen mode (Standard, Dinamic, Cinema, Adapt Display).
I first noticed this watching a TV show with subtitles. Whenever the subtitle kicked in, the screen will shift the luminosity of the image displayed, dulling it, resulting in washed out blacks and contrast. After the subtitles disappeared, the image was restored to its previous state. I thought it was app-related, but it happens everywhere. It even happens when displaying still pictures in gallery apps or using comic reading apps.
Cycle between this two images and check it out. Maybe subtle, but it's annoying as hell. I'm on 5.1.1 and I don't know what may be causing this, but I can't recall it happened in KitKat.
Any help will be appreciated.
Not sure if I notice this back on KitKat, but I believe this could possibly be a standard feature among IPS screen?
My VAIO Pro 11 laptop and my Xperia Z1 also experiences it, albeit only if the changes are total ie if the displayed colors cover the majority of the image for instance when changing from a black image to a white image, in which the screen will brighten a bit when more whites are displayed, and vice versa. So it's a more subtle change than what you are experiencing there. However I have not yet notice this on my Note 2014, maybe I wasn't attentive enough. Not really a major bother though.
Hi.
I have an standard IPS desktop monitor and it surely doesn't show this behavior. I have even calibrated it with a colorimeter and it works flawlessly within its specifications. Anyway, I don't recall the Note 2014 having an IPS screen but a simple LCD, but maybe I'm wrong.
I will later try and record a video, I hope I can capture the tablet performing the tweaks. I find it so annoying that I hope downgrading to KitKat will solve it, if there is not other way to fix it.
Here, I managed to capture on camera exactly what I see. Check it out:

I don't know what is causing this.
Hello, I've been noticing this weird issue since day one with my device. The screen will dim and brighten itself periodically through use. I have only noticed it while using amazon instant video, a few games, and occasionally netflix. I have not noticed any dimming/brightening while watching Kodi. My aftv2 is currently rooted, but I have noticed this since originally setting it up on stock, and all the way through 5.0-5.05 or whatever the current version is.
It basically looks like the screen dims itself a little bit or brightens back up and it is really annoying (at least to me, not sure the wife even notices). When it happens, it looks like when a phone dims itself automatically from a sensor. I have not seen anybody else mention this issue, and I am fairly certain I'm not insane (or at least not because of this).
FWIW, I am using fairly new LED samsung "smart" tv and the input i'm using for the aftv2 was previously used by a nexus player that i have since gotten rid of and never had any dimming issues with. I have had all sorts of other devices used on this tv's from pc's, gaming consoles, receivers, etc with no issue.
any ideas?
My Kodi has been acting weird lately. I have been getting a black screen randomly when I try to go back to my video files. Also sometimes playing a video will go to a black screen. Pressing the center button doesn't show the onscreen controls anymore. The only way I can get the controls to show up is to press back button. Then the Menu selections show up but I have a black screen in the background. It's almost as if the default blue bubble background screen has been erased.
I have tried to delete kodi and reinstall and gets the same problem. I have tried SPMC and it seems to get the same problem after a few days.
Anyone knows what might be causing this?
Same issue here. Are you using the Krypton Nightlies?

No, I'm not. I have been using 16.1 that is the stable release.
What is weird is that I have tried SPMC and I get that black screen also sometimes. I also noticed that my Nexus Player seems to get this to happen lately also. I think the Nexus Player uses a different KODI since it's Intel based but I still get the same problems.
Do you think there is a problem with Kodi in general?
I'm having the same problem! It sucks. And I'm not very tech savvy lol if anyone figures it out please relay the info ?
