I'm not sure exactly the technical terms to use to explain this. Hopefully there's a term for this so I can search google more effectively.
If I move the screen around it moves with the screen, so it's not a problem with the physical screen.
I've only noticed this in some apps like bbc news and waze so far, but I don't use many apps.
I have not noticed it in chrome.
I'm using CM11 KitKang. I don't remember or didn't notice if this happened running stock.

I've started using official CM11 Hammerhead and text is fine now.

Anyone know how to get to a screen calibration tool on the Captivate / Galaxy S? I've done a search and found a number of links for how to do it on HTC phones, but nothing for the Galaxy S.
My screen isn't far off, but on a number of different sites in the browser it will register a link below what I touched.
Thanks.
Steve
Sometimes the problem is how the browser is rendering the page/links. Now and then I have the same problem, zoom-in then zoom-out fix it.
I have this problem on google reader. It's like the ads that get tucked in at the bottom through the click-able area off.
So I usually try to open links from the bottom up. or just give it a little time to catch up... it usually does
My screen occasionally goes crazy on my captivate. I will be swyping in text and it will suddenly jump all over the place...one time it started in K9 mail, another in Dolphin mini browser. Once it starts the entire screen is effected and it makes navigation difficult and usually ends in a reboot. I am not sure if these apps have anything to do with it but I removed them and then reinstalled and that helped. Not sure if anyone has experienced something similar and if there is something in particular that might be causing it. It is extremely frustrating.
this issue has happened to me some times, I've noticed that all the times it happens is because the screen has humidity, water, sweat,etc. At least to me that is the reason.
Greetings,
Recently, I'd say about a week or so now, I've noticed an odd glitch in Google Maps that was never present before. It is not consolidated to any phone/rom/kernel/setting as I have tested it on 3 totally different phones now all running variant roms and setups, one not even rooted. So I can easily cross that out as a possibility.
The problem here is that when I used to zoom in close enough that you could see the borders for land plots, there would be a dark black line for the borders. Now it's an extremely faint white thats near impossible to see over the pinkish-white background.
Anyone else have this problem besides me and my family?
Bumping. I'd appreciate ANYONE on Android opening up Maps and zooming in to test this for me please. It takes <60 seconds and will be great to know if others are experiencing this.
I just updated to the recent version of Maps and now this seems to be happening to me, if I understand your description correctly. There are thousands of white boxes superimposed over everything, and they don't correctly line up with property borders if that's what they are supposed to be doing. It ruins the view.
I uninstalled the update and things went back to normal. This happened on my phone and my Galaxy tablet. Not sure what's going on. Never happened before.
Hi All,
I recently got the acer A510 overall i am happy with it except i have a few problems and wanted to know if anyone else is having the same.
I noticed a fair few apps are unstable. The store shows the apps are compatable etc but they crash a fair bit.
While i am not too fussed by it 1 does really annoy me.
It happens in both the built in web browser and on chrome.
Basically i can be on 1 tab and go back to another tab, but then it can't remember and starts to reload the tab (this is all in a matter of minutes)
Then after doing this a few times it stops loading. if i exit out and go back in all i get is a messed up black screen with bits of the app showing.
I have to reboot to resolve.
I have tried factory resetting and it's the same issue, all i did was sign up gmail and only download chrome. They both do the same thing.
Any comments on being a common issue or what i should try would be great.
Other than that the tab runs great plays movies great and is smooth very smooth.
I have the AUS version updated and theres only the 1 firmware. BTW acer are pretty useless in tech support area lol
Hi malos1984,
I have also issues with Chrome. Sometimes Chrome just freezes from time to time and the tab reboots. More often the page gets white and blinks (seems it tries to refresh but i gets white again). In this case I am able the restart Chrome.
It was so annoying – so now I am using Dolphin and I am quite happy. No freeze no reboots. Everything works fine.
It seems that more people have the same issue with Chrome on the A510. At least if you go through some of the play store comments…
Perhaps there will be a fix coming. Not sure if this needs to be fixed on the Acer side or on the Chrome side.
Cheers,
Elendiir
I tried Chrome, didn't like it and just switched back to stock. That browser has all my needs in it.
But I totally agree with the OP, Acer doesn't have the sharpest tech support. lol.

Lol no they do not they don't even have an email contact here in aus pretty bad for a tech company.
Back on topic.
The strange thing is the default one is buggy too very similar issue.
On top of that embedded YouTube videos on sites and forums show the videos overlapping each other in the top left hand of page in both orientations and a black box where they should be displaying on the page.
I hope we get 4.0.4 and jelly bean later on as a update.
Another question I had is why doesn't shadow gun work I stupidly paid for it but its delayed in responsiveness.
I.e. i press a menu button and about a minute later the menu opens, then in game I tell it to do something and it takes about 3 secs to do that.

Ya I hope we get JB soon. I could use with the tab being a little slicker. Overall things are very smooth compared to HC but pale in comparison to the iPad.
Btw, SHadowgun on the A510 sucks. See a threa here in Madfinger's forum. Lotsa people facing it yet they're not gonna do anything about it. That sucks! Link: http://www.madfingergames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=525
hmm
I agree with the stock browser stability.. It seems to refresh whenever I change tab n back to the previous tab.. and sometimes when I am multi tasking, switching back to browser gives me a white blank page. I have to scroll back to the top then the page shows back.. WEIRD.

I faced the same issue on my tab playing shadowgun. however, after switching from 1.044 to 1.073, the problem have disappeared, but now I'm facing with problem of screen responsiveness while putting it on a table. they said its grounding issue and can be fixed from the settings, which have to be done every restart.(which I did not face it on 1.044).

Ok, I'm a noob at this but what's 1.044 and 1.073? I'm unrooted btw. Anyways, yeah the tab has got pretty bad responsiveness all around and you're right, when you put it on a table (flat surface) its totally unusable. Why is this so?
Chrome Problem

I do have problems with Chrome on the A510....I will probably try dolphin to see how it goes.. I hope acer releases an update soon cause I hate having that bloatware, including the AcerNidus app, which is supposed to collect information about bugs....well what for if they don't release updates to fix them?

If you go to about tablet, you should see a "software version" field. 1.073 is the latest.
I actually have my tablet sent back to warranty service since the gyroscope is miscalibrated. I'm supposed to get it back after a week.
As for the non-responsiveness, it is a bug that was introduced in the latest firmware updated. To fix it, you'll need to go to display >> screen responsiveness >> toggle it to low/medium, then high again. You need to do this right after every restart.
I have a Pixel 2 and I feel like ever since the device upgraded to Pie I get this random horizontal line that briefly flickers during a transition between apps from the launcher. It is the very bottom of the screen for any app that keeps a black navigation bar at the bottom. It will only flash or flicker once and doesn't happen all the time. The main app that does this is Hangouts but occasionally happens with others too like the camera app or Google News. I figured it might be software but wanted to see if anyone else noticed it. The device runs fine otherwise so hopefully not a big deal down the road if there is failing hardware.
Hey all! I recently updated from Android 10 to Android 11 OOS 11.0.2.2 and I have a strange issue I didn't have before. On grey/blue backgrounds, the screen dims and changes color a little bit after not touching it for 4-5 seconds. I already submitted a bug report but I just wanted to see if others are having this issue. I do have a T Mobile device that's been converted to global, but again this issue wasn't present before. I can't report as to whether the issue happened on OOS updates previous because I just updated and got 11.0.2.2. I've also linked a short video here showing the issue. If you guys have any input at all, it's appreciated!
I may be having a similar issue. I am trying to view your video to see if it is the same problem. I have noticed that my color turns warm, as if the blue light filter was activated. It normally happens when I am trying to type in a field. In most situations, it happens when there is a lot of white being displayed.
I did not pay attention to the browser that I was using. It may be a Chrome issue, but that is only if we are experiencing the same thing.
Ok, so we are talking about two different things. But, your dim is very subtle, at lease as far as the camera is concerned. Does mine do the same thing? No idea. I probably never noticed.
However, are you using Adaptive Brightness or manual brightness? In my experience, OOS 11 came with a LOT of bugs. I've been getting screen orientation problems as of late, and it would lock my screen sideways depending on what I am doing. I do not use auto rotate, and I am certain that I didn't press the rotation button in the bottom right corner. Even if it showed up, it shouldn't have, as I was using my phone in portrait mode every time that bug showed up.
TL;DR: OOS 11 - YMMV.

So I have the same thing with the screen going super warm on white backgrounds too, primarily on web browsers. With the other issue it only happens with the brightness between 30-70% or so and the screen gets darker and the gamut seems to get a tad cooler but I've chalked these up to separate issues. No phone is without faults but it seems like Oneplus releases software without testing it at all.
Edit: I noticed the yellowing on Chrome, and nowhere else on the phone. Samsung internet does have the same issue
Yes, I have a slew of issues with Android 11. My problem is the fact that I like it a lot more than A10 w/OOS, sooo....I have no option but to tolerate them for the moment.
