I've search high and low but it seems like any thread related to this was closed when the forums were split up. In any case, please report any screen flicker issues here and what keyboard you might be using and whether or not you're rooted. I bought this phone new and had a screen flicker before I rooted it. I figured it might be software related so I rooted and installed another ROM. I still notice it from time to time when typing. I don't think this flicker will ever go away. I'm now on CM10 and still notice the problem. I've been using Swiftkey from the start but I'm not sure yet if that's what causing it.
Thanks to TechSavvy2, I think this problem has been fixed.

Not sure what it does, but you will need to tick the same option every time you reboot if you're on CM10 official at least(I can't speak for the other AOSP ROMs.)
You got a screen flicker BEFORE you did anything to your phone tho? That's the first I've heard of the flicker anywhere except an AOSP ROM. Hmmm. And was/is it only when you used Swiftkey? If so, gotta be some conflict between Swiftkey and our phones. (I really don't care for swiftkey since it doesn't have any kind of swipe option. I use Touchpal, which is pretty good on the autocorrect/predictions especially for a freebie)
I've also had the screen flicker on my phone since I activated it. I am on stock touchwiz and the thing that kepts it from occuring every time i opened the keyboard was installing thumb keyboard. I really wish Samsung would send a fix sometime in the near future. I am hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware.

Ya, I know for a fact, I had the flicker before I rooted or even changed the bootloader. I've tried every rom out there and still have a real bad flicker every now and then. It does go away when I turn hw overlays off but by turning it off I can't use SwiftKey which really bites. Isn't this an indication its software related?
And I'm not sure if it's just SwiftKey related. I guess, I'll experiment with the other keyboard to test.
By any chance could it be kernel related?

It happened to my GF's S3, lets call this S3 A, screen fickers and with series of lines vertically, phone freezes, had to do hard boot, then the battery dropped to 3% instantly. We think it's the battery, lucky us, we have another S3, we'll call this S3 B, in which has no flickering issue, and we exchange the battery and the flickering did not happen on S3 A anymore but it did happen to S3 B in which has no flickering issues at all from the start.
And we noticed the S3 A battery is beginning to bloat (it is getting fatter than the battery of S3 B) maybe due to wear and tear or over charging.
So our conclusion, the battery is culprit, we've replaced it and we'll observe for about a week.
I can also experience flickering and very crappy battery life. Guess I need to buy a new batter then? I don't want to waste money if changing batter doesn't work so please tell me if I should buy or not.
Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum thread, but recently having lots of problem with my N5.
i have a 32GB N5, when I use LTE & Location on the road, it heats up, the screen starts flickering and eventually, gets to a point when I don't see anything, I have to wait for it to cool down, turn off from recovery by guessing and after 15-20-30 mins, it will be back to Normal. Is this an issue with N5 or is it just with mine.
I bought it from Craigslist, so I do not have any warranty info. not sure if I can get it replaced.
I have used many many different ROMs on my N5, it was unlocked & I rooted it. Currently I am running stock rooted with Faux kernel with Gravitybox for customizations.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Dhaval.
From the way it is described it is way more than just software especially with screen flickering clearly this isn't an issue with every nexus 5 or Google would have addressed it immediately.. I would restore back to complete stock and see if it still does it. Too bad you bought it from some guy off craigslist, he probably knew about the problem and just didn't RMA it.
There is a Q&A forum.
Do you get some weird colored lines sort of like TV static also? Randomly, my phone does this every so often and I'm somewhat worried about it.
It only occurs in apps, on the home screen it doesn't occur.

A stock Nexus 5 should be pretty well protected from over heating. I would recommending restoring the factory firmware to see if it fixes the problem. If it is still over heating then it probably needs a visit to service.

Hi,
I would like to replace my HTC One M8 with a second hand OPO.
I keep reading about problems with this device, mainly the yellow screen issue.
If I am to buy this device, I would like to make sure it isn't suffering from these issues.
How can I try to reproduce the yellow screen issue? Can I check if the device is suffering from it in a 10 min overview?
Also, what else would you have me check for before I can commit?
Thanks in advance for your quick responses.
D.
You will notice if it has the yellow tint in 30 seconds. Mine has considerably diminished over the course of a month. Aside from it I find nothing to fault in this device.
Mine disappeared with in a few days of use. And i have htc one m8 Also and never touched it since I got a oneplus one so yes its worth the upgrade
Thank you both.
So you don't experience any of the problems on this forum?
It seems like every time I log in there's a new thread with different problem ?

If you have a HTC m8 i would pass and get a N6. No point in buying an already old device at so a few time before the next nexus.
I have problems with the touchscreen. OP is going to fix them with the new touchscreen firmware but i've read on some threads that the fix isn't 100% resolutive...

Touchscreen problem solved with the last update from franco kernel r17 my friend
The speakers on the M8 are SO much better than the OPO too, but that's an obvious point!

Well, if you're not having any issues, there's no need to start a thread...So yes, of course you see allot of threads from people with problems
Most of us have no problems whatsoever though.
I personally have allot of friends who own this phone and none of us have the yellow screen issue.

The yellow band does not go away, it comes and goes in varying degrees. I'm not sure what makes it change, I'm thinking temperature. Anyway, I should know as I've bought 4 four OPO's so far I still have my original from mid July that I gave to my bro, sold one for profit, returned a faulty one, and currently have a new one for myself from mid August. The one from July still has the yellow band nothing's changed, but the one from August is almost unnoticeable and is the best one so far. You never know what you're gonna get from OnePlus, their quality control is atrocious, but you have options. If you don't like it, you can sell it for a small profit, or you can compromise and keep it since it's still pretty damn good for $350.
I had the yellow thing but its gone lol
I'm in the same boat as the OP, I have an M8 Dev Edition converted to GPe.
The more I see the endless customizations the opo has to offer, the more I want one.
It is the number of unique problems that I am concerned about. I realize this is a troubleshooting forum, but it feels like there's a new bug for every phone they sold ?
I came from an iPhone 5s to an Xperia Z2 to the OPO and its fantastic, what you read regarding problems are just a minute % of the people who owns the device that are experiencing problems, this is true for EVERY single device. The majority however are probably not experiencing any issues are are oblivious of any issues. The issues i had was the multi-touch issue and battery drain issue which was resolved with firmware 33R, i also have the yellow band at the bottom of the screen but if i hadn't read about it i wouldn't have noticed it that's how inconspicuous it is.

Yes, think its going to be firmware xxx36R or something in that line, this is great news for everyone who still had touch issues after 33R. For me 33R fixed the touch issue almost completely but i always welcome updates even if only for the smallest bug fixes so i cant wait.:fingers-crossed:

For me, it was improved but with the newest update it makes the screen more responsive and I can type fast again. And now theres ANOTHER touch screen firmware that just came out <1 hour ago.

Hi All,
During the last couple of weeks, with different ROMs I've been experiencing some touch screen issues. I feel like there is a 0.5s delay/lag on the touches which makes using the phone annoying. I can barely type and touches are not really accurate.
Not sure if there is any good app for testing the touchscreen, but I tried one (Test Touch) and as far as I can see, touches are not registered or are intermittently registered when fast touching the screen. (See Video). When I slowly drag the finger, a continuous line is traced.
I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue hence I'm posting this. Thanks for the help.
Current ROM: Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build, 10.1, CM 12.1 .
Stock kernel.
Edit: Ram use is always lower than 50% and CPU usage is low.

You're not the only one- I opened a thread about this. Seems as something happened as people updated to android 5.x as did with me.
Hopefully someone can figure something out!
Seems more like an input lag- like you mentioned. Really annoying and makes it hard to type fast or use swype function.

I've been having this issue too! I thought it was the ROM, but I am on my second one now with the same touch lag . I didn't have the issue in 5.0, though. I might consider downgrading and hope that that fixes my issue. Any help on this would be much appreciated

I flashed Slim ROM, touches delay improved a bit but I was experiencing some lag on the hardware keys.
I just flashed last bacon firmware (from April 09) and RobbieL811 ROM and seems to be running smoothly, I wonder if it was a firmware issue. Thoughts?
Right, I have the same bloody problem, and I'm seriously thinking of going back to kit kat. What the hell happened, it worked perfectly. Does everybody have an unlocked bootloader? COS12 worked ok, lagged when hot, only after I unlocked the bootloader did it all go to ****. I just hope it'll go back to normal on KK and it isn't a permanent thing now..

I have an unlocked bootloader and have moved from 11S to 12S and find its a lot better. I've seen people say they find the update better and some who have issues but your boot loader shouldnt really come into it. How did you update, what did you do since unlocking your bootloader?

Went with COS12 for a while, then tried a 5.1 rom and it started going down from there. COS12 lagged a lot when the phone was charging, it got very hot for a while, and then cooled down. I don't know why touchscreen issues started happening, it worked ok for some time after installing 5.1, then for instance the settings app started scrolling slowly, the notification panel as well, some touches stopped being registered.. It's a weird issue, because it's not lagging, like skipping or so, but mostly it feels like the phone is in slow motion.

Same happens to mine.
I flashed 3 different ROMs today, 5.1 and 5.0, it was working fine for a few hours with one of them but after that It started with serious problems, to the point of nearly not registering any touch. After a reboot it improved a bit but it makes the phone unusable. I'm flying abroad in less than 12hrs and really need the phone.
Flashing a stock ROM or going to kit kat are the only options I see now.
Edit: Here I found some useful post, they state it's hardware not software.

we're not alone man, multiple threads are popping up with people suffering from similar issues, including on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/33ky0u/open_post_to_oneplus_with_all_our_love_and/
I am having the same severe issues as well.
The nightmare begun after the 05Q update.
Ever since that update, no matter what I've tried, the touch problem is here.
I've tried numerous Roms + kernels combinations with no use.
OP support was trying twice to reset my phone to full factory reset to both Oxygen & CM11s with no use.
That is so frustrating.
i have the same problem, but only when i go outside and the weather is nice
Hi there,
(Im opening a new thread as the old one was completely off the topic of the original post)
So on CM11S, my phone screen was working fine. After the CM12S update, my phones screen sometimes doesn't respond correctly when I go to unlock my phone with the unlock pattern. (The timing of the update and the problem occurring may just be coincidence) Its as if holding your finger on the screen isn't registered as staying on the screen, its like the phone thinks I am lifting my finger off and reapplying it very quickly, I cant draw my unlock pattern and unlock my phone. It also affects the 'swipe down' I must do to get the unlock pattern prompt.
If I restart my phone, it usually fixes the problem. Although in the past few days, it has started happening more frequently and sometimes restarting the phone doesn't solve the issue. It is becoming more of a frustration now because of how frequently I have to restart my phone just to unlock it.
I first believed that using a glass screen protector was the problem, I thought the glass was causing ghost touches, so I removed my glass protector and replaced it with a film protector, at first it seemed that this was the problem, but I have just encountered the problem again. I'm not sure if its a hardware or a software issue, because restarting the device is fixing the problem most of the time, but its also switching off all power to the digitizer during a reboot so I cant tell what is the culprit.
I've opened a support ticket with OnePlus but it says it can be up to 10 days before I get a reply, I figured I'd post here too to see if anyone else has had similar issues or even found a fix.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem
I was having the same issue, although I never updated to CM12S. Instead, this happened to me when running Exodus Lollipop ROM and the SlimLP ROM. Since then, I have switched to Paranoid Android Alpha2 and have not had the issue recur in the last few days running PA. So to me it seems like a software glitch in many of the Lollipop ROMs. Try PA if you like and see if it's fixed.
welcome to ghost touch
google "oneplus one ghost touch" and join the hundreds of other known cases
I had a feeling this was the ghost touch issue, but my phone hasn't really had actual ghost touches, its just that most of screen stops working. I've got a few videos of it happening. First the screen goes a bit unresponsive, then after a short while, about 1/3 of the screen is completely unresponsive, I switched on show touches in development options and you can see that from the middle to the bottom of the screen there is no response unless I use the very edge on the right side, then it works, its like it has a dead spot. If I reboot my phone, that usually fixes the problem for a while, sometimes up to a whole day, but the problem comes back with time.
I was given a patch by the OnePlus automated support message, and it says my case has been forwarded to a specialist. I have just applied the patch which has rolled me back to CM11, I'm guessing it did more than just that, but the patch and notes don't really explain what it does. Either way, I'm in the process of receiving OTA updates so I can get back on CO12 so I can hopefully restore my data with my ADB backup (never done this before, not rooted my One yet)
Has anyone had any success with this patch?
Thanks
EDIT: So my ADB Backup isn't restoring on my phone. I am using Holo Backup (formerly Simple ADB Backup) and when I chose restore and select the backup, it just show the output for the help command from ADB and then doesnt appear to do anything else. Are there any manual commands to restore my backup or have I done something wrong?
Try going back to cm11s and then check...

Hi there,
So heres an update, I applied the first patch and it rolled me back to CM11S and the issue was still present on CM11S, I then got OTA's back up to CO12 and the issue still happens. I have turned off the off screen gestures and the ambient wakeup thing. It doesn't happen as often but when it happens, 2 restarts are needed to get it running smooth again.
My support ticket with OnePlus has gone quiet and I don't really know what my next step is? I have heard there is a second patch but I couldn't backup properly last time with ADB so I don't know if I want to go through all of the wiping and reupdating again when people report the 2nd patch is also ineffective.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I feel a bit cheated now knowing that my phone has what I can tell to be a manufacturing defect / hardware issue.
Another update here.
So after a week of silence from the OnePlus tech support, I have a new person handling my ticket and he has told me that I need to apply another display patch. I'm guessing this is the 2nd patch and not this final patch which was mentioned by Carl on Facebook.
Either way, I ran into a problem applying the 1st patch, I couldn't make a proper backup of my phone before I did the patch. I used SimpleADBBackup which I thought would work well but it took a very long time to create the backup and then when I applied the backup back onto my newly flashed phone, It missed many apps, only did app data for a few apps and didn't take any of my pictures or SD storage, so all my SMS and Call log backups were also lost. I would like to take a proper backup this time but I don't know how to do it? I don't trust this ADB backup method, even on the Simple ADB Backup program, it admits that ADB backups are hacky and untested.
I have been trying to use Helium but for some reason, my phone wont get past connecting it to the computer companion app, I have all phone drivers and ADB drivers installed correctly, but helium on the android side cant seem to see the computer app, the computer side of the app says that helium is enabled, but on my phone it is stuck on "waiting for the helium desktop app".
I feel like I'm having the worst luck with this phone, and its frustrating because I really like this phone and this flaw is really getting in the way of using this phone, I counted 8 restarts in one day due to the screen not working.
I hope someone can help me out, I don't want to fully wipe my phone again and I cant seem to back anything up correctly!
One more here... when everyone had the probelms, my screen works almost good... now trying the nightli from Cm... the problems become mroe and more big... ( than soon it is oneplus two? xD Its not in my mind waste more money on OPO company... jajajaja Any solution? we waiting for the miracle update they promised?

I'm not sure if a full solution has been found yet. I read on Facebook that they are working with Synaptics to make a final patch which should solve the issue.
I've given up on trying to backup my phone without root, it just seems impossible to do right. I've just applied the 2nd display patch and got my phone running again, I think I may stay on CM11 and just forget lollipop until this issue gets resolved. I'm pretty sure last time I was on KitKat, the issues were there still but it may be less frequent, who knows?!
Do I have a better chance of seeing this screen issue less on KitKat or should I just update to CO12 for the 3rd time?
Another update here,
I have been instructed and have booked a remote session with OnePlus. I'm guessing they are going to be flashing CO12 or OxygenOS and hopefully some kind of display patch or calibration fix. I really hope this solves my problem, the issue has become a daily occurrence and I have also finally seen a ghost touch, it looked like it was trembling . I really love this phone apart from this issue but it happens way too often to ignore it. Ill post what happens after the session.

I really love this phone apart from this issue but it happens way too often to ignore it. Ill post what happens after the session.

Thanks for this, I'm not going to root yet though because I think I'm finally at the stage where I can start the RMA process, I have a new video of the touch screen being unable to maintain a touch and drag gesture, and then another video doing the same action but just after restarting my phone - it works fine after the restart.
During this support session, I was flashed onto Oxygen OS and I really miss CO12 now, so many features that I grew accustomed to are not present in Oxygen. Oxygen does seem quite solid, but I've gotten way too used to all the features of Cyanogen.
Oh well, ill live with it until I get another reply from the support team.
I write with the assistance for 10 posts at today and I declare them to STOP sending me those bug non fixing ROMS/ZIPS...
I will replace by myself the screen (they don't change it in warranty because I've on the frame some dents... )
It's a clear HW issue, on any software, if the display degrade to a "fail stage" you wan't come back never to a total solve situation.
I loved my Oneplus, but they buy some batches of too cheap display, and after some month, I see clearly the results.

Thanks man,
It went well, I have been issued an RMA and will be sending it back soon. Just waiting on the postage label.
Ive just received my new OnePlus One today, very chuffed as it hasn't cost me anything. RMA and Support with OnePlus may be a bit slow but at least they do the right things!
To anyone facing screen issues, create a support ticket and persist with it, it should pay off!
Flash the latest CM 12 nightlies and you're good to go

Your a bit late here man, that phone has been sent back and I'm on my 2nd OPO now, using the latest official CO12 build with these touchscreen fixes. No touchscreen problems on this phone.
