[Q] screen flickering on AOSP - General Topics

Already tried HW overlays, build.prop mods, WiFi optimization off, nearly threw my phone on window. Still flickers on apps with BLACK background. (e.g poweramp, GTA SA, etc etc.) the flickering disappears on apps with WHITE background (e.g Opera classic, play store, etc) any help? will be appreciated
Android 4.2.2 running AOSP
EDIT: the problem doesnt appear to show at logcat, and whenever I take a screenshot, the white lines (it comes after flickering. this white lines appear at the bottom of navigation bar or should i say under the screen.) doesnt appear on the screenshot. i think this is a hardware problem. tried factory reset, change rom, etc etc.

Here's the picture of the flickering. Thanks guys

This is known to happen on clone devices due to using sub par hardware parts. IT is even harder to fix without the kernel source for the device.

Youre right sir. Its a clone of XOLO a500l. But I just went today on my phone's customer service and they said that the LCD needs a replacement? I cant understand this problem. Is it hardware related or software related? Btw thanks for your response sir!

Most likely the hardware gave it. This not new when they use sub par hardware.

[Q] Camera Issue - HELP

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone an help with this.
I have already asked a few people, but no-one has been able to solve it just yet. I have faith though.
No matter which ROM I use (was using Vegan initially, then tried TnT Lite and even the stock TnT) when I try to use the camera it seems to "crash". The app loads, and I can interact with the app, but the camera screen seems to crash (colored lines for a split second, then nothing) then goes black. I can still change settings in the camera (such as change to video etc) but the camera screen is just black. When I click the shutter button to take picture, the picture appears at the top right in the little box but is just a green square.
Anyone any ideas?
Does it sound like a software issue? Or hardware?
I'm really hoping software as I don't want my tab to be broken.
I have not tried an nvflash yet, but probably going to do that tonight and fully reset it. Might that help?
Thanks in advance!
Mine was doing something like this. I found out with mine that when I opened the case, the camera had popped out of it's spot and wasn't pointing out the keyhole.

"Ghosts" on the display

Hello everyone, this evening when I play with my s8 plus, i notice that when i swipe from one screen to another, there are "ghosts" goes from top and bottom of the device. The worst it is, when the bringhtness is set to center/low and bluelight sensor is on, ist that normal? I try to make a video and take the screen when I took the password. Phone is after latest update QDD, after I install it, i clear dalvik cache, after that I make factory reset. The phone after the update is little bit slower, and how i remember, befor update the antutu was showing acros 175000, now it is about 172-3000. Where can be problem?
The new video and photo what i take:

I see nothing on the pic and vid.
What ghosts?
Could you please draw in the picture and Mark the places with the ghosting?
Hello, yesterday I was in Samsung Service center, and they told me, that is normal display functionality. So I was going to the near shop and compare it to another galaxy S8+ and lets see the differences, my display is little bit purple, what i should do, they said I should wait to another update, but last update QDD im currently download and install it and the phone have still a little bit purple colors on some angles. PS: my phone is after QDD update more lagging than before, some ideas what I should do? I made Clear dalvik cache and after that factory reset.
If you are unhappy with a device costing 1k€ then take it back, I certainly would. I am not suggesting you have a lemon but let the retailer see the problem and if you are not satisfied insist on a new mobile. Mine, so far, is fine, zero problems (touch wood). If it misbehaves it will go back as it should.
Let us know how you get on.

Use the red green blue test under *#0*# and check if your problem exists there

I would suggest getting it replaced. However, if you have as much trouble showing them what the issue is as you are us, I doubt they'll swap it. You need to put up some solid color backgrounds and see what it does. The pics you're posting could just be banding in the original image. Not sure what to to tell you.
That's the problem when I try the service code and turn on the red, green, blue screen, everything looks OK. As soon as I go to the main screen or I go to the application menu, and the brightness is set to less than half, the problem is there. This is not a static picture, the "bubble" above moves. When I turn on the blue light sensor, so it's even worse, but if I give more brightness, the problem is not. Also, there is no problem in any application. It would be good to have someone who has s8 plus orchid gray, to check if have the same problem, or at least try setting the orchid gray theme. Anyway, when I compared it with the other s8, the display was more pink, and I did not notice the problem what I have.

I´ve same problem with the "ghost" when i try unlock
Believe me. I cant swe any hosting.
What I see is a dark screen where it should be dark.
I have orchid grey and I can check something for you.
PS. I checked every single picture posted here.
BTW. On yt video the animations are very slow. It looks like you turn on the specific option on the developers setting.

Maybe it is just software, we should wait. But at the night it is really annoying.

S7 Strange Screen Flickering

So I bought my used S7 recently, the device seems to be totally clean not even a scratch on the frame, looks like brand new and even the software status is OFFICIAL not even the Knox is tripped.
I found a thread on XDA about using an updated version of TouchWiz Home of the S8 for the S7 by installing the APK.
it worked like a charm until I started to change my wallpapers and notice something strange.
im using an application to change the wallpapers auto every 5 minutes, the problem is whenever the wallpaper i use has some bright colors like bright purple or bright red and i press the app button to access the app drawer those colors (ONLY) flicker , they flicker just before the screen get blurred and take u to the app drawer, and also when u go back to the main screen from the app drawer also right after the blur disappear.
i got scared so i uninstalled that Touchwiz Update and came back to stock, to notice that the problem is still there, but its not as noticeable as the s8 TW
i wanted to know if the screen is dying or this is something normal, and also wanted to know if its a software related problem or hardware one, and finally if someone is having the same issue ( i can share a wallpaper if anyone is willing to try wit it )
NB: the screen flicker ONLY ON THE BRIGHT COLOR before the blur effect happens and After it.
Thank you all in advance & i apologize for my English
I made this video If you focus on the second time especially ( when going to the home screen from the app drawer ) you can see clearly the red rose flicker. Sometimes the flickering is harder depending on how bright is the color.

This can only be a software problem, because its also visible in the Video. Your screen is not damaged, and it will not be damaged. This issue is not a problem, maybe only a bit annoying.

It is so annoying for me cuz i had an old S5 plus that ended up with the screen flickering so whenever i see it flickering i got a heart attack.
Is there anyway to fix it i tried factory reset but nothing changed..
Thank you anyway for replying
I think thats a Problem with the Launcher. I've tried it on my Phone, and it is also flickering. You can try to speed up the Animation-Speed in the Developer-Settings. Maybe then you wont see the flickering.
You can see it here, that it is also on my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYKM5ss9EKe3L0M43

Thank you very much !!!! You have no idea how much its relieving to know that this problem is not only present in my device.
For now ill just stay away from bright wallpapers until hopefully Samsung will make fix for this issue.
Thank you again !
EDIT : after i came to the pc and i saw the GIF u made i noticed that we dont have the same flickering , maybe the quality of the GIF wasnt high enough but for me it didnt seem to be te same, so i will ask you one last time when you tried that wallpaper did it show the SAME result as my video for u ?
thank you in advance

Help! Annoying BUG screen overlay.

I have a bug that I can't fix on my redmi note 6 pro.
Pixels remain dead for long periods of time. For example, if I am reading a pdf and return to the home screen, transparent parts of the pdf still appear on the screen, usually at the top. These overlays change frequently, and there may occasionally be none. The darker the screen that I have open the less I notice them.
-I detected the error right after changing some settings in nova launcher, so I tried changing settings, resetting the app, trying other launchers, but the problem persists.
-Of course I tried to restart the device several times.
-If I take screenshot the overlays do not appear.
I have the Havoc ROM. I don't know if it's a problem with the ROM, the launcher or something else. Can anybody help me?

What you are experiencing is normal for Redmi phones with Tianma displays (its called screen burn-in). Even I have that problem. Well there is a fix. If your kernel supports configuring RGB like mine or say your ROM has option for RGB controls. What you can do is set RGB to 95, 95, 95 from live display option in settings.

HELP THREAD : IMILAB KW66 Smart Watch- Screen Flikering

Hi, I am using the KW66 smartwatch for 6 months. A few days back, the screen of my watch starts flickering on white color. I have tried resetting the device but nothing happened. can somebody guide me? I have also written a complaint on Gloryfit App but no reply so far!
IMO screen flickering doesn't come out of the blue.
Screen flickering issue is associated with software malfunctions usually get resolved by performing some workarounds. But your chance of obtaining quick and ultimate solution is higher if you could pinpoint the root cause. And this is what you should do first. To help you isolate the problem, try to think of what has happened before the onset of the problem. For example, did your watch's screen start to flicker after making some changes to the display settings or options other than the brightness level? Or did it begin to occur after installing a new app, contents, or Android update? Prior actions are usually the trigger so that is what you need to find out first. Among the possible triggers for you to consider would include but not limited to rogue apps, corrupted files like photos and videos, broken segments or files in the SD card, and software bugs. Once you’ve successfully dealt with the culprit, you’ll finally find the remedy.
I am attaching snapshot of problem for your kind perusal
Can you upload a video of the screen flickering here or else can you send it to below mentioned mail plzz??
