i did some testing on mine when the screen would flicker when i press the back button to many times or when i flip the screen . one of the issues i think that was causing the the flickering was that it was because some widgets were i guess refreshing after i turn the screen . to test this what i did was i wipe clean the tablet and started to download all my apps but did not install APW widgets and did not use any other launchers that did the trick no more flickering on mine at all i am going to start testing other launchers and see if there is one that will work better . i tried apex and nova lets see what else is good in the store .

more testing
OK guys I did some more testing and I can definitely say that the flickering is caused by some software issues with some of the apps or widgets because I have tested many apps and launchers and some would cause the flickering and once the flickering started even if I uninstall whatever I downloaded the flickering stays . The only way the flickering went away was to reset the device and erase everything or reflash the Os . When I did that the flickering never came back . I think there might be a bug in the system. I highly doubt it is a hardware issue .

Stock Browser issues

Just wondering if anyone else has the same issues that I get with the stock browser.
It seems quite sluggish when scrolling but the main problem is when zooming in, it is slow to redraw. When zooming out I get a large white screen around the part I was looking at and have to wait a couple of seconds for it to redraw. I have looked at various browser hands on one YouTube and none seem to have this issue.
It also seems to just close itself occasionally with no error message.
Thanks for any input.
I've installed Chrome beta and it offers a lot better browsing experience. It doesnt seem to have the redrawing bug when you zoom in.
Those reviews on the Internet have an updated version of the OS. Most likely this update fixed the issue.
Ya, the browser is terrible slow when it comes to scrolling and pinch to zoom. But I never had a delay of seconds. Definitely something wrong btw with some lower level implementations . Stock ICS browser has the same problems.

How nice for HTC to make sure the review devices were updated hehe.
Maybe I have been spoiled with the browser experience on my Galaxy S2 with a custom rom . Pretty sure back when that was new I had similar issues.
At least some noted developers are already here and working on Roms.
Will give Chrome a try too.
Don't know if this for sure, but i faced non of the phone arena touch issues
i had 3 fingers gestures disabled in the phone settings and hence had full multitouch
if someone can confirm it works better with full multitouch?

Sounds weird. I spend at least 4 hours browsing on my phone everyday (news, forums, deviantart, 500px, etc) and I honestly cannot compare my experience to any other. It's butterly smooth, fast as hell, and most vivid. My only complaint is the battery life, I can't get more than 5 hours of browsing on WiFi...no matter what.
I think you may have a rogue app in the background. Try reflashing your stock ROM without restoring any apps, and see if the problem continues.
Cheers
this video shows exactly how i described the browser, locked 60fps with only the tiling/flash effect when the page snaps, happens in split second, first time i experienced such a smooth stock browser, its much smoother than opera mobile
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en&client=mv-google&v=KATvmiBcXvw&nomobile=1
im convinced the issues you guys mention are related to the 3 touch gesture mode in settings, i had this setting disabled
I had lag also and when i got the phone ran the multi touch and would only record 2 fingers max, disabled HTC's 3 finger swipe and now it is very responsive. Ran the test again and now records up to 9 fingers.

hold on a second! first thanks for confirming the browser issues are related to this setting
maybe this is the cause of all problems!
3 finger swipe is actually used to send the image/mirror to the HDMI output, maybe its causing the other issues?
I should thank you for bring up disabling the 3 finger swipe which reminded me of the the touch sensor test i ran when i got the phone.
Thanks.

Everyone having browser issues and graphical corruption - Please try these solutions!

I didn't experience the stock browser confusion and stutter described by many including the Phone Arena review
I think it's actually caused by HTC 3 fingers gestures mode which disable full multi touch abilites, this gesture mode is used to send image to the HDMI dongle by 3 fingers swipe
with this setting off the browser ran locked 60fps like the video below, only the screen flashing/tiling for a split second when it snaps, its so smooth you don't mind the snapping effect
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en&client=mv-google&v=KATvmiBcXvw&nomobile=1
can everyone who experience browser issues and corruptions issues, try the following:
- Clear the notification area, it can cause interference with the browser, thanks to emahmood87 for finding this
- Disable 3 Gesture swipe HTC mode, to fix browser UI confusion and stutter
- Make sure all the develop options are unticked, a few of these options can cause screen flashing etc
- Disable Settings>Power>Fastboot mode, this can cause incompatibility with certain apps
reboot your phone and report back
As you already i know it works great for me by disabling it, and again thank you for bringing it up eariler.
What is the page address in the video?
Edit: it's still stutter after disabling it, it's smoother in my htc desire/ bravo :S.
I agree the browser is smooth. No problems here in fact I am amazed that so many threads are here with complaints. I have owned lot of mobiles including the dhd, evo 3d, gs2 and iPhone 4s also galaxy nexus. And I must say this mobile is beautiful in hardware and software.
Btw
Gsmarena.com
It should be smoother and removes the lag when scrolling up and down. It won't remove the slight stutter when the text reflow kicks in however. 2 diffrent things

Attention! I found out that the damn FASTBOOT option is causing a lot of problems esp related to camera and browser screen glitches.
My wife's one X is on fastboot and had a auto reboot and a few force closes and screen glitches started to appear, compared to mine with fastboot off from first day had non of the above mentioned issues.
Go to settings/Power then uncheck fastboot option and restart your phone.
pardon me if this has been mentioned.

ok ill add this suggestion too
lets hope we get to the bottom of this
browser bug
Guys the glitches in browser or corruption of the url only happen when you have something in the notification tray for example you are downloading something from the market or Amazon appstore side by side or it can be anything like a message or a missed call being shown in notification tray . Just clear all notifications and use the browser there will be no glitches or corruption ever . Even in the video posted by OP the notification bar is clear . I think a future software update by HTC will resolve this software bug.

some1 mentioned that *#*#4636#*#* menu toggles cant work because fast boot was enabled..
Holy crap! Disabled the 3-Finger-HTC-Thingy and WOW! Browser performance increased BIG time! forum.xda-developers.com (Forum Overview) used to lag ALOT before. After disabling the option and reboot, I opened the browser again and went straight to the XDA Forum Overview. Pinch-To-Zoom, Double-Tap and scrolling feel like they're about 300% smoother now. No lag whatsoever, except for the small lag for text reflow and orientation changing.
BIG thank you! Browsing is now way more fun
I actually did what you recommended hamdir and stock browser along with the entire UI for some reason seem quicker. Thanx.

yes because the gesture setting botches the screen multi-touch abilities in order to capture their gesture which sends the image to the Medialink, its cropping 10 finger detection into 3 finger which is surely confusing apps
Typical stupid HTC weird feature/self induced bug!
seeing that the One X 10 finger capture videos, i think we have Nvidia's DirectTouch implemented?
Excellent, thanks to everyone. my phone is now perfect.
Beautiful fix. Thanks

Thank you for this nice fix hamdir, it just shows that if we be a little patient all this problems will be minimised at minimum.
so does this only fix your browser issues? or other graphical glitches?
I had posted this fix 2 days ago..http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&highlight=jumping+screen#post24556551...this fix minimizes the glitches but doesnt remove them completely...thats what i've noticed and some of the others as well!
Under development options make sure you untick don't keep activities. It will restart ALL apps including Rosie.apk. Hence so many sense restarts every time you leave an app.

screen issue - jagged edges when playing videos

Hey everyone,
I have come across only one issue with the nexus 7 2013 which is related to its screen. Wallpapers and icons look perfectly fine and so do still images even when zoomed in. However, every time I play a YouTube video in HD, the screen cant handle the moving picture and everything becomes slightly jagged, rough edges. Nothing stays smooth. Text seems choppy and kind of pixelated. I replaced 2 nexus 7s already and still experience the same issue with the third one.
If any of you have experienced the same issue please reply. Any kind of explanation would be appreciated. I love the device itself and don't want to give it up for this issue.
Thanks in advance

One UI 3.0 // Slow animations and app drawer background

I have the same problem with a S20 Plus after switching to Android 11. Laggy when switching from applications to Home. A little lag when opening applications on the Home section. I tried a hard reset, wipe cache partition but no change. It is possible to change the firmware to another country. Maybe we can solve the problem.
Yesterday updated fine. Had a problems with big lagging but today everything is perfect and smooth without any changes from my side.
It's big update so I made a factory reset
One of the first things I do any Android is turn off all animations in Developer Options.
Do the same on the PCs.
A need for speed.
So did I. But this is not a solution. Did you pay a lot of money for this phone to go into Developer Option and force your phone to work better? It's not like that? So it's not right what Samsung is doing with these updates. And on One Ui 2.5 I had the same lag.
It is very strange that many do not have this problem.

I reset the phone from Recovery Mode, I gave wipe cache partition and I still had lag. I hope it's a software problem. Do you think this lag comes from a hardware problem?
See what the cpu load is when it's doing this.
Turn animations see if it helps or not.
Does it happen in safe mode?

See if it's using excessive cpu or ram resources when that happens... if so track it down.
There may be something you missed, play with it.
Pay attention to any power management that is active, a known source of gremlins.
This is why when I have a fast, stable OS I like, I leave it be.

Unfortunately no...
My device is S20+ Exynos Indian.
Have exactly the same problems.
Samsung always f#kc things up with gesture navigation, I mean seriously how hard is to leave it transparent ff$.
Lag while using swipe gestures is happening for me on Nova launcher. I never use one ui launcher.
I guess samsung is still lagging behind other OEMs when it comes to third party launcher support for gesture navigation.

I was Nova Launcher prime user for a year, but i use gestures and on One UI 2.5, gestures was super snappy, super fast but now on 3.0, i feel like is lagging, like animation is 10 milisecound longer, and i hate it.

It works faster but it is not normal for an expensive phone to work forced by certain settings. To give you an example of how big the difference is, my wife has a OnePlus 5T and it goes faster than my phone ...

Animations by their very nature always slow down a fast machine which is why I always disable them.
Backup all data now. When Androids crash many times the only warnings you get are slow performance and subtle stability issues.
The next boot could be the last on that load. Normally Androids are very stable... if it's a good load.
Try a network reset. Double check all settings and clear system and Samsung apks data as needed. You could globally clear settings but you might as well do a full reload at that point.
You can try running SD Maid to see if it gets rid of some of the junk.
You could try something I normally never recommend, a hard reset. It may not help at all or the issue will reoccur if it's an apk or settings issue to begin with.
If the OS has been heavy used or has had large firmware updates done, it may be that time.
It only takes one bad install/uninstall to screw up an OS. If the load is older then 6 months now might be a good time... nothing like a clean OS with only the apks you use and like loaded.

The phone was activated on December 7. When opened, run One Ui 2.5. He had the same problems. I thought upgrading to One Ui 3.0 would solve the problem. But that didn't happen. I also did a Hard Reset. No change.

So the phone was ok on 2.5?
Could downgrade it back to 2.5 if so.
Probably too late to return it; if not do so!
Otherwise having Samsung look it over be the best bet.
If it's a carrier phone, time to start digging into them to make it right.
Sorry to hear of this...
Upside is you get to practice your assertiveness skillset. You can never have too much of that.

Nope. And on 2.5 he did the same. Do you think it's a motherboard problem?
On the other hand, is it really normal to always keep a phone with 0.5 x animations?

Question Pixel 6 Pro Screen Flicker when quick pressing power (With phone off) & Status Bar backlight bleed (White tinge)

Hi guys
I put GrapheneOS on this a few days ago. I noticed on using it on the status bar a slight backlight bleed on the top of the screen. Just a white tinge. Have today replaced with Pixel Factory OS (Original) firmware and I no longer seem to get the backlight bleed although that may be because the background is different on Google Stock and not pure black!
I do encounter an issue though which seems to happen with Both GrapheneOS & Google OS and that is the Green Flicker when pressing the power button quickly when the phone is off.
Is this something said to be fixed by google?
If not I am wondering if it may lead to further issues down the line and if I should get it replaced.
If it is quite common for others and google say they will fix it then I may hang onto the device.
What do you reckon?
Cheers folks!

yes the flicker issue is fixed in december update its been noted by google for awhile now
AMOLED displays have no backlight bleeding as there is no backlighting. Something is causing those pixels to have current and emit light.
I would send it back for a refund... once bitten, twice shy.
No worries i'll get onto the co who sold it today and get a replacement sorted out. Thanks guys for the help
I have been told by the website to go into the actual store to arrange a replacement. The only concern I have over this is that this whitish status bar problem only occurs on GrapheneOS. If I go showing them that on GrapheneOS they may not replace it because I have put a custom OS on it. I wondered if there is a way I can somehow make it do it with the Standard Google OS. Or do you think that they would still replace it if I showed them the problem on GrapheneOS? Cheers guys.

Personally, I wouldn't chance it with a custom OS. I would go full stock and even lock the bootloader (which would definitely cause you to factory reset). I'm not a betting kind of person, though, so I try not to take risks.
My first Android phone 11 years ago, I was going to exchange it at the store because the trackball quit working (or it was too sensitive as a button or something), and I was nervous because I had modified my phone - I forgot to restore it to 100% stock before (even the boot screen - and that bootscreen is still on my replacement device I still have). I came up with some excuse before I turned it over to them, and tried to use their computer to help me put the machine back to stock but it was a lot of wasted time - I wasn't successful under pressure, I gave them the phone and they were fine with it, and gave me a new one. And that was a Verizon store, who locks their stuff down so tight. LOL.
You can probably just explain the basics of what happens sometimes, and not even show them. At least, hopefully.
I'll go in there this weekend and give that a go. Fingers crossed they'll issue replacement. Appreciate the lengthy reply there
I've noticed a white tinge, but only on the home screen of the Pixel Launcher with dark backgrounds. Doesn't show up on Nova or any of the other apps. Just assumed it was a purposeful effect.
They're saying they'd send it back for repair. After thinking about it i am tempted to just make do with what I got. If it doesn't get worse over time (spread more) then i'll just keep it
good luck in asking the graphene devs about it. if you do, please post the response. I'd donate $10 to charity just to see the chat in their matrix room//
are you sure you're having issues? GrapheneOS is experimental at the moment. just grab one of those testing apps to see if you have any issues with the screen (on stock. any issues like your describing is super rare on stock 6 pro). if not then it's 100% software. I would want to be sure it was a hardware issue before I get an RMA/repair
so embarrassing {my browser froze or something). but yeah, just make sure to read my post.^^ I'm returning this pixel because it made me comment again
Hey! Thanks for getting back. I went into their support room the other day. Others who have flashed Graphene OS on their devices have reported to not get the white status bar. I only notice it when in a very dark room or with brightness turned on above 50% (Whilst in a darker or dark room) . I do get it with the Stock OS but its only really noticeable with a black wallpaper. With GrapheneOS by default having a black wallpaper, that is what made me notice it. It is the same with stock. So far it has only been present on the home screen. I am going to try a completely different launcher and see if that gets rid of it even using a dark wallpaper. Upon searching on google it seems this issue is quite common but that is with with the pixel 5 (not 6) and others have suggested to use another launcher (Microsoft, Nova and rootless i think was the name?) . I think this is an ok issue to deal with as long as it doesn't interfere with anything or of course get worse over time! What do you reckon? Thanks.
Just an update: I have managed to use Microsoft Launcher (Purely just for testing purposes) using a black wallpaper with it i no longer get the white status bar fade / tinge. It seems the Launcher GrapheneOS & Google Stock use are the issue. This is good news because i THINK (Could be wrong) it confirms it is not a hardware problem.

umm it's hard to say. does it appear in a screenshot as well? grab a screen testing app. it's probably nothing but I don't know what you're seeing exactly so it's hard to comment. sometimes it won't appear in a screenshot, due to the way the fade is created (by an overlay or in the screen profile etc). maybe a photo or something might help/
and you got out of that matrix chat alive? you didn't feel like you were eaten by wolves? awesome. you got lucky.
Good question. Hadn't thought to screenshot it. At first I thought it was hardware so i took a photo of it with my S8+ and uploaded it onto their GrapheneOS chat but unfortunately the picture never did save. Once I get home I will try and egt a screen shot. What sort of screen testing app can you recommend with the problems described above?
hahaha yes i didn't notice anything in the chat but i was only there for about 5 minutes. What are they like then? Do they take all this stuff too seriously? lol
