I have Nexus S i9020 and I have this bad problem..
It's started when I flashed AOSP ICS Brainmaster's Mix.. When I locked the phone, I had a strange yellow-green flash on the screen.. I tried flashing different kernels - no effect.. When I tried playing with Voodoo colors - no effect.. The only "semi-cure" was: if you return to "Stock gingerbread colors" that damn screenflash was seen only on the contour of clock and "that slide thing to unlock the screen" (don't know how to name it in english=))..
I thought that it was just the bug of the ROM then.. But when I flashed CM9 latest alpha everything remained the same.. I also thought that it was just a bug of the ROM..
But now I flashed ICS OTA after the downgrade to stock 2.3.6.. And the result is the same to switching to gingerbread colors in Voodoo app on AOSP old ICS ROMs.. I still have the screenflash on the contour on the lock and that "slidething"..
It's really annoying now as I'm starting to think that it is a hardware issue.. But all other functions work just perfect, not any single issue with the screen.. I haven't dropped my phone, haven't kicked it or something (bought it in June)
Can anybody help with this please?
P.S.: there were some similar threads here, but I haven't found the cure..
I tried playing with "Transition animation scale" and "Window animation scale" in Developer Options.. Setting window animation scale to 0.5x solves the problem.. But it turns off CRTscreen fadeout.. So there is something wrong with it on my phone.. I don't want to loose it, it's beautiful..
Any advice please?
I understand that I can only annoy with this question.. But still I don't know what to do! Please suggest any possible ideas, every piece of wisdom could help!
Now I've rooted official ICS, installed Nexus Beam 4.1.0 and flashed Glados 2.1 kernel.. And the green & yellow screenflash once again all over the screen when I lock the phone..
In every other possible way the screen behaves itself perfectly.. But when it turns off I see that damn flash..
Mine does it too

Mine has the exact same problem. It doesn't happen in gingerbread but on ics roms, even stock, it does a flash. On stock its lighter and harder to see, but if I change voodoo settings it turns green. I doubt its hardware considering it works fine on gingerbread.

I've seen this discussed somewhere already, but can't recall where!? But to my knowledge, if I can remember correctly it can be corrected by resetting voodoo control settings back to 2.3.3 defaults! Something to do with gamma settings I think! But obviously you have to be rooted to have & use voodoo control!!
I've tried a couple of those settings, but it never totaly get rid of the problem, it's just less visible. But since I know it's there, i'll always be seeing it XD

Every time I turn my phone off I can semi seen the lock screen for a bit moment like half a second. I figure it was the glados kernel since it has vodoo mod so then I flash different kernels but kept happening but it turned green. Turns out its happening to a lot of people but then I switched to pure stock again but the flickery continues. I'll upload a video of it later. Anyone else experiencing this?
yea i have experienced this too basically on all the ics 4.0.3 builds that are out right now hopefully there will be a fix soon

ah okay Voodoo mods turn my screen green tint but right now thats pretty much the issue I have but hopefully there will be a fix for it soon. I noticed it used to happened with my old nexus one but that was only because I lowered my clock speed down to 200 when I didnt it was normal but I wasnt underclocking in my Nexus S
Happens to me on unrooted ics. I got the ota yesterday and its barely noticeable. But it doesn't happen to my brother's nexus apparently

I'm on rooted stock 4.0.3 and I get random flickering of the screen when I turn it off. Only flickers once and for a fraction of a second. It seems pretty random.

I did a lot to this Nexus S so I thought maybe I had messed up something
I just use the stock kernel cos any other kernel makes it green flicker

If you want the features of a custom kernel without the green flash you need to put all the gamma settings to 0 in the voodoo app. I had the flicker on stock but I don't think I've noticed it on the cm9 alpha I'm running now. Maybe it has something to do with the ota installing over gb?
So I tried CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 Alfa 17 because some people were saying it wasnt happening there and nope still happening but it was green so I flashed glados kernel and now instead of being green it darkish yellow
Mines has done it since I updated, it flashes little pieces of whatever image was on before turning off,only for a split second tho,hopefully a fix will be on its way soon to fix this and the other little glitches that came with ics,on a side note my ns seems to have settled down some and is starting to run a bit better overall...

I also get a very, very quick flash of the lock screen generally only if i lock and unlock quickly. Very minor and not particularly annoying. Using an i9023, assuming the colour flashes would be on the SAMOLEDs?

well, really anything you were doing but happens if you doing quickly
Anyone observed these?
1) When you have normal wallpaper on the homescreen, the momentary screen flash doesnt happen(99% of the time). Doesnt matter if you have autobrightness on or off. But if you have live wallpaper on the home screen, the momentary screen flash after lock happens (99% of the time).
2) Try these one, If you have live wallpaper set, but you pull down the notification bar before you lock your screen, the flashing will not happen.
I observe if you are on static screen when you lock your nexus s screen( normal wallpaper, at the app drawer, notification bar down) the screen flash will not happen.
Maybe this is a problem or bug with live wallpaper or dynamic/moving screen when locking nexus s ICS.
And how could they be added to an ics ROM?
ARHD has a flashable zip, it's basically a line of code, but unfortunately HTC has made it hard as they have deleted some files for it to work properly. AOSP ROMs like OpenSensation CM9 have in in Settings>Display though
Just had a quick look on the arhd thread, but the CRT add on zip that was supposed to be in the second post has gone.
Apparently it's no longer on the arhd thread since it wasn't compatible with the ics ROM. So why hasn't anyone made it work on ics yet? How does it actually work and how could it be implemented?

I saw this the other day for 3.32 based ROM's, I haven't tried it yet though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538485
Thanks, just tried it now. It made a right mess, the whole screen was corrupted, countless force closes, etc. But the animation looked nice when I turned the screen off! Safe to say it needs work, but it's a step in the right direction at least.

Hi everyone,
I had updated my Nexus S to android 4.1 jelly bean yesterday. I am satisfied with everything but the loss of my turn-off screen animation that previously we had for Nexus S (the oldschool TV turn-off animation).
I would like to know if this is a bug during my installation (the installation went smoothly) or android 4.1 purposely removed such animation? Such screen-off effect is one of the reasons that I bought my Nexus S and I am not willing to see it gone. I had searched the forum but so far did not see anyone facing such problem. Kindly advise me what to do.
Thanks everyone in advance!

I just updated to jellybean myself and i did notice that that tv animation was gone too. So after some digging U have to go to settings scoll down to developer options and then down to window animation scale and change it to 1x to bring back that tv on/off screen animation back. Also I kept the Transition animation scale at 5x for apple iphone type of visuals.
The only thing that i do not know what is does is the option called Animator duration scale. I played with it from 5x up to 10x and i have not noticed any difference
If anyone knows a explanation would be nice.
I think it may be the "fade in" animations. I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm pretty sure that's what those are.

That's seriously one of the reasons you bought the Nexus S??? It's a cool effect, but to be one of the deciding factors of your purchase.....??
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all replies!
For the tv animation it is just one of the many factors that help me in making my purchase, it is just like the choice between super-lcd and super-amoled can be a deciding factor for someone, but not for someone else who cannot see the difference or who does not care. During my comparison regardless of price my friends told me that galaxy s2 has better spec, better screen, better camera etc. but I chose nexus s over s2 for also reasons that the s2 model in my country could not be updated to latest android without rooting.
For the developer option method it works for me too, but I really dnt like all the extra efforts and time needed to solve these problems, it makes me feel like google doesn't take care of its old customers (my perception only).
If Google didn't take care of it's old customers you wouldn't have the JB update to complain about in the first place...
A TV animation just seems like a trivial thing to complain about in all honesty. Its a known bug on the SLCD model and no software is perfect. And is it really that hard to tap a few buttons to fix some settings? I mean, seriously.

Exactly. The OP put in more effort to make this thread than it took to re-enable the screen off animation.

I just wish I knew why adjusting the rate at which those animations occur seems to somehow fix the issue for some. My complaint was more along the lines of people not wanting to take the effort to attempt to even get into the menu to find those settings. Of course hitting buttons ain't gonna solve anything . Well in most case it wouldn't work. Haha. Speaking of, when I originally disabled my animations, my app drawers animations stopped. Never did that in ICS.
My animation still works...
So to clear up the confusion: This bug only concerns the SLCD version. For those who don't know it, AirKernel seems to fix the problem, it did it for me and I'm running Euroskanks CM10.

the effect will only works on nexus s amoled screen, those models with SclearLCD like i9023...you can't see the effect because the timing of turn off the back light happen earlier than the effect. The TV off effect is actually there, but without backlight, we can't see it...you will see it sometimes, because of delay of the backlight due to hardware slow response... have a nice day, guys... pass this to google team and xda team, this will help them easily fix it ...!
You know when your in an app then go back home and the widgets need to reload them selves its like that but with all my icons they keep disappearing and reappearing until I open an app or lock my phone then unlock again. I noticed it twice so far and the last time I was downloading a bunch of music to my phone so might have something to do with lag even though there shouldn't be any problems with 2 gigs of ram.

I think it is a software issue. My screen flickers when I flashed CNA and BlackBean but does not flicker with AOKP. My guess is that AOKP is more stable and less buggy?
I would suggest going into your developer options and disable HW overlays. This works on AOSP ROMs and it should work on TW ROMs also.

I would have thought so. But then again there roms are probably built from a modified source and compiled. Once compiled they probably flash it to make sure it boots. If confirmed to boot they probably upload the original. In that case it would not have the option enabled. That is my educated guess on the subject. lol
Screen flickering on AOSP based roms is nothing new, been a known issue for a long time. Some things get fixed then break cause of something else was changed.
Flickering
My phone is original. No Root. Screen just started flickering the other day. I have had it since August. I did nothing different to the phone. Verizon claims I damaged the phone in some way. I have not done anything to damage it. If I open the Gallery on the phone, it starts going crazy. Does not always do it. If I use something like Google Earth or Maps and then open the Gallery, I get horizontal lines across the screen flickering up and down randomly. Swiping gets sluggish when all this happens. Almost like the memory fills up. I look in the memory and it is not even using 1GB, but is close to it when all this happens. Not sure what the heck happened to cause this issue to all of sudden start occurring.
Hello,
I have had a UK Vodafone Sensation for about a year and decided to get one that had been rooted to play with. I got it off ebay. It was really really good other than battery life ,,,, and then I spotted that the softkeys (the four buttons at the bottom of the phone) are permanently on ... unless I turn the phone right off.
When the phone arrived it had 4EXT with ICE and Sense and it was only come the evening of the second day I spotted why battery life was not good!! I tried various thing - Screen Filter, Juice Defender and other bits and pieces and then saw the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM and decided I'd start from scratch .. well almost. I'd also noticed that it said the phone type was Sensation XE.
I replaced 4EXT with CWM and flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM. All went according to plan considering I'm a 63 year old noobie!! Well OK until I saw the softkeys were still illuminated all the time unless I turned the phone off. I'd got my apps and contacts on the SD card and installed the purchased version of APEX Pro that I'd been using on my non rooted phone. No amount of changes to anything I can thikn of turns them off ... but my phone does now say it's a SENSATION rather than a SENSATION XE.
I've run the battery flat and started afresh with it newly charged which has increased battery life but with these darn softkeys lit up it will never be good..
I have thought of taking it into a shop where they mainly deal with smashed screens all day long and see if it is possible to have the led backlight for the softkeys removed. I've looked at any amount of youtube videos and they all stop short of showing me the bit I want to see!! If the keys don't work afterwards its no drama as I can put 'Navigation' keys at the bottom of the screen from the ROM.
Any ideas anybody?? Your help and advice will be much appreciated.

Hi Ganeshp. I tired to install gscript lite when I was running ICS. I managed it this time by reading what it actually said to do!!! lol.
Unfortunately even though it seemed to install ok and I ran the scripts ok it wouldn't actually get fully running before saying it had stopped. It seems other had had a similar experience. I tried various reboots etc and it still wouldn't run which is a shame as it really looked like it was the answer.
Thanks again but unfortunately I'm still looking for an answser,

Would it have anything to do with kernel setup? Just a thought. I don't know enough to actually advise you, but your led issue may be linked to the kernel.
some roms have the option built in to disable the capacitive buttons backlight, by using tweaks. ViperS rom has it built in, or you could download LeeDroid/Darkforest tweaks in the dev section. theres an option in the tweaks to disable the backlight. give that a shot before having someone look at it

LeeDroid tweaks and Darkforest tweaks are both for Sense 3.6 roms. ViperS is Sense 4 so these wouldnt work with that rom, but tweaks are already built in to it

Darkforest= 3.33 base firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30132538&postcount=5
Can't you just do that by going into android settings and setting the backlight duration to never. OR You can install Total screen control from Android market. Go onto settings> softkeys backlight and click disable backlight. Then you have to select a screen filter value at which to disable softkeys backlight eg. 50% value. Your phone's backlight should turn off when your screen filter value is set to 50%. You have to be rooted for this to work.

Your phone's backlight should turn off when your screen filter value is set to 50%. You have to be rooted for this to work.

Hello and thanks to all who have replied. I'm now back from holiday and have tried all the things mentioned in this thread and they are either not available for my phone or they install ok but don't do what it says on the box. I'm going to try the ViperS ROM now and see if the tweak it seems to have for turning on/off the capacative lights works.
Tks.
Phil
