[q] is screen flicker on the shield normal? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my second unit and they both have screen flicker at random times. Just something to get used too?

I don't think so. I had that problem on the original Nexus 7 too, I believe, but only at low brightness levels.

As long as the brightness is above 25% no flicker. Thats where i keep it now.

both me and my friend, we have it too

Flickering is produced by a battery optimization option. You can find it in display settings.

For me the flickering is caused by the light sensor and adaptive light.

[Q] Brightness keeps varying/flickering after C2104 15.3.A.0.26 upgrade.

After upgrading my C2104 to 15.3.A.0.26, my screen brightness keeps on varying looks like screen flickering. When brightness is set to lowest it can be easily observed while at max brightness it is not noticeable.
Strangely when I make a call or plug in the charger screen stops to flicker!
I tried downgrading to 15.0.A.2.17, where I did not encounter this issue.
Is anybody else having the same problem, it's very disappointing!!!
Yes, I'm also facing this issue.
Yes me 2!! This is really scary!
Everybody is facing the same issue , its the software problem i think !
For the sake of testing , i am downgrading for now to check if the brightness issue still persists there !

Weird screen issues on Shield Tablet K1

Hi!
My screen behave strange from a few days:
- Sometimes the screen slightly flashes, I can see it especially when it's in charge and it has brightness low or very high
- The screen is slightly yellowish. I tried setting it with the nvidia tool to setup colours, but even setting temperature at maximum screen remains yellowish
- I'm experiencing burn-in which is very rare for a ips screen
- Gradient background show bands of different colour gradation.
I tried a wipe and nothing change, so I think I have to send it back. I have this device from 2 months and I never had this issues. I would like to know if someone other had these issues and what do you think it's better do.
Wrong thread, sorry.

Very strange how screen panel works so much different on different shield tablet k1
Thanks anyway

[Fix] BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH

What is black screen of death??
Plz google it.
For those who are facing this issue.
I was also facing the black screen of death issue from past 3 months.
The only way to avoid it was through rebooting the device.
And by searching web others recomended to replace the flex cable.
Solution:- guys now i am not facing this issue by keeping the brightness greater than 5/10 (>5)percent.
I have tested this persnally for 10 days and i have not faced black screen of death till then.
But when i reduce the brightness to 0% i start experiencing the black screen of death.
I dont know properly what incresing brightness does.
Permant fix can also be done by increasing the minimum brightness value. (I dont know that hiw to do). May be devs can help here.
Those who are facing black screen of death keep your minimum brightness at or above 10% that will fix it.
Will try.
What ROM?

I got the same problem with my nexus 5 too. After lowering down brightness to below half somewhere, the phone screen shuts off but the phone is still on and if i blindly drop down the status bar and increase the brightness by assuming the slider there, the screen again turns on
One thing to note that my screen does not have any dead pixels or display problem at all because I tested it. Also when the screen turns off the task that was carried out on the phone still stays i mean that when i play game at night and lower the brightness, then the screen turns off but i can hear the sound of the game running.
I have tried many roms but the problem still remains.

Try changing the rom which has this issue fixed at around 10℅ brightness.
Bcoz above 50 ℅ is. Huge for battery drain.
I am currently on santosh m 7.1.1 15/12/16 build and i am not experiencing black screen at 10℅ brightness.
Since you play at night ( night modde will also help ).

I don't know why it happens.

Flickering Screen (Reboot, TWRP, Locking and Unlocking)

Hey Guys,
i have a weird issue with my OP6.
On low brightness my phone is heavily flickering if i restart. It's even happening while locking and unlocking the phone.
I've red some threads where people told it would be a hardware problem and they used warrenty and replaced their screens.
But hornestly i can't believe it's hardware sided.
Does anyone ele have this issue? And was able to solve it?
If necessary i upload a video.
I also went back to OOS 9.0.4 and beta 15.
Actually i use liquid rom (havoc also) and tried different kernels.
greets Earth
Mine just started doing this today but on high brightness. 1/3 of my screen at the bottom flickers and starts turning dark after a few minutes of usage. Did you get this figured out?

Disable DC Dimming.
It will solve your problem.
Please report this to the oneplus community.

Doesn't fix my issue. It only happens when the phone is cold and it's only the bottom 1/3 of the screen.
I've had the flickering issue over the last few weeks... At first the screen was greyish down below, then it turned black, so i couldnt see anything in this area.
But i could manage to fix this issue, just by wiping cache in stock recovery.
Since then, everythings fine

Screen flickering

Guys,
I've used the tablet for few times and this started to happen.
I mean it was noticeable few flickers when booting inside Android OS,but now I even get reboots.
So is it repairable or sadly throw this tablet to garbage which would make me sad?
I did googled and seems like common issue.
Could it be that happens when battery deplets below 50 %?

Why screen replacement?
I thought it's the battery or flat cable over it.
I would try the option "disable adaptive brightness," this would reduce the flickering to a minimum. What works is the disabling the HW overlays in developer settings but sacrifice deep color.
