Display Tester app: Huge display flickering - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
just got my 1+1. Ran some tests.
During the gamma detection tests in the Display Tester app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester&hl=de I experience a constant and overall display flickering during several tests (e.g. the third one). Normally, and as I know from my Nexus 5, the flickering stops immediately after swiping to the next test. In my case, it stays in some cases. I already got feedback from another user which does not have this with his 1+1.
I also get those flickering with the first viewing angle test.
What do u guys think about this?
Thanks!

8.11.29 open beta impressions

update 2 : i posted a video on youtube for the lowered sensitivity of pocophone f1 8.11.29 and compared it to note 9 touch to settle the debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cALkjau09xs
update : about the touch there seem to be a debate whether it is improved or not .. i just did a reset and discovered that by default the google keyboard has no borders and full gesture is not enabled .. so if you set the theme of the gboard to enable key borders and enabled full screen gesture you will definitely feel the lower edge space bar problems and that allover sensitivity is lowered
thought to write my initial impressions about 8.11.29 open beta software .. it was released couple of hours ago and i updated from 8.11.15 with ota and no reset done
hdr still works in youtube
youtube full screen support is there
hevc 4k60 10 bit files now works flawlessly on mi video app
camera noise during low light conditions improved but on the expense of details as there is some kind of photo softness introduced
there is a small bug too which is still there google keyboard key-presses sound is mute every restart and you have to turn it off and on again to enable
PUBG touch is fixed
my analysis for the touch :
1st they reduced touch sensitivity a bit and i think this was done as some people complained from over-sensitivity with cables touching screen and stuff .. the problem i see this is normal and it didn't deserve to lower sensitivity for as this is how touch works .. the flow of electric charge from your hand pass through the cable and reach the screen
2nd ghost multitouch issue is there but i only tested with multitouch tester and i didnt notice it while working on the mobile
3rd now if i put the mobile on the chair hand and do not catch it with my hand 95% of touches are not registered which proves they lowered sensitivity ( the percentage may differ with mobile position grounding and battery level and charging or not )
4th the edges touch is less sensitive specially the lower part and space bar in addition to their lag so the keyboard is not usable now and will give you lots of space bar mistakes .. i think this is because of the lowered sensitivity all over the screen in addition to crippled edges touch from the start (using full screen gestures)
5th this is complicated it is how the PUBG was fixed : there was a user here on xda and miui that complained of particular touch issue were small turns were laggy and not registered .. this was completely fixed and PUBG plays excellent now
so to sum this up apparently edges have some sort of hardware problem and it will not be better than 8.11.15 so they should return sensitivity to 8.11.15 level so keyboard is usable again and keep the PUBG fix .. i think this will be the best partial fix for touch issues .. as by now i am convinced that they dont have a 100 % fix .. i was surprised they even fixed PUBG but who knows .. so now keyboard is in an unusable state if you turn on fullscreen gestures and cancelled the homescreen buttons .. so temporarily solutions till fix #1 you need to turn on the home buttons bar and wait for a fix or #2 disable keyboard borders in gboard theme and enable fullscreen gestures
i will add edit this post later and add rest of my impressions to this post as i test the phone
please share yours .. also do you see that i need to reset the phone before assessing the update ?!
Touch issue is still present, but different.
It is less than before, however now I notice it mostly on the spacebar. (In fullscreen mode)
While typing, it sometimes doesn't register me pressing the spacebar entirely. Does someone has the the same feeling about this?

yes i was testing the touch this last hour and i agree with you about the space bar and i will tell you my anaylsis
but as a starter and to cheer people up PUBG turn touch lag is fixed and now small turns are registered without a lag
so again PUBG touch fixed

1st they reduced touch sensitivity a bit and i think this was done as some people complained from over-sensitivity with cables touching screen and stuff .. the problem i see this is normal and it didn't deserve to lower sensitivity for as this is how touch works .. the flow of electrons from your hand pass through the cable and reach the screen

Agreed, however the screen now flickers a lot and the user experience is very poor due to this.
I never had any touch issues and even now it's fine.

what do you mean by flickering rajeev ?! i didnt notice any flickering while using the mobile and playing videos or games .. the only flicker i saw is in camera in certain modes while recording video and i think this can be easily fixed by xiaomi team i think
So, after this final update the touchscreen works awful.
I mean, I never had screen bleeding or touch issues with this phone, but this last update really killed it. I have to often press twice on something to open it. Looks like it does not have the same sensitivity like before.
Very anoying.

i dont know why they lowered the sensitivity ??!! i have been investigating till i found a couple of posts complaining from over-sensitivity but apparently they were talking with some one important .. of course any mobile screen will be touch sensitive to cables thats no brainer hhhhhh

Well, it seems to be f*cked up to the point i have to press very hard on the screen to register touches. Yesterday everything was smooth and perfect, and now ... I'm thinking of selling this and buy myself a real phone ...

i know what you mean but since rest of features such as hdr works flawless for me now i can endure a couple of weeks for a better fix .. but eventually i will sell it too when i found an appropriate one .. pocophone sold out from egypt so i will have no problem selling it under warranty anytime .. i will stick for a couple of months
For me stable 10.0.6.0 is the best. I hope MIUI team will release a good stable based on android 9

no it is not present on mine .. my friends call me pixel peeper .. did you try to reset yours .. anyway i will use a camera to spot any flicker out of the normal and infrom you if present .. only flicker noticed in camera video rear and front
update : i just took a photo of my mobile screen with shutter speed at 1/30 and there is no flicker .. but i saw couple of posts complaining of your problem .. how did you update to 8.11.29

Wait, what? xD
The wiring of cables are always covered with an insulator which restricts the flow of electrons on the outer surface, so it's definitely the over-sensitivity which is the devil here.
This issue is not present in custom ROMs as the devs have managed to implement the fix from 8.11.15 and 8.11.23.

i changed electrons to electric charge to be precise .. also i have acer iconia w700 tablet that register touches from cables .. also my note 5 do this .. there is nothing called over-sensitivity except when it affects things or cause a malfunction .. if over-sensitivity was present i never felt a malfunction from it and pubg game touch issues was not related to over-sensitivity at all and there was a complete topic here taking about this specific poblem
on the other side almost all ppl complain from touch problems and screen edges that do not register touches as center .. so you take a decision to lower sensitivity ????!!!!! thats weird and i cannot comprehend till now
do you know that if i used the side of my finger vs the tip touch differs .. so there is difference between ppl and you cannot go lower sensitivity on a phone ppl complaining about its touch issues
also dont forget the screen protector that has its toll on touch sensitivity .. all these factors must be considered
their only excuse that this is a beta

Ahhhhh! I get it now!
But my verdict is that Xiaomi released this phone with just pure excitement and nothing else. They did not optimize the phone for users' convenience. This is a beta phone and they'll PROBABLY hit the right note with the successor of this phone. And worst part, we've surrendered ourselves as 'testers' for this phone. :/

Exactly. I too never had touch issues before this update.
---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------
I had done the multi touch test when I bought this smartphone and it registered all the 10 touches easily in the first go. Now, after this update it won't even register 5 touches without trying repeatedly.
I also noticed unresponsive touch problem with .23 and .29 beta updates. I didn't have this touch problem with .15 beta and below. Also, the lock screen flickers on .29. Most probably due to auto brightness I think. While using facelock, the screen brightness changes like crazy. Tried .29 with global beta, EU rom and globe rom, and with franko kernel. The screen flickers like super fast brightness change from low to high to low continuously with all.
Reverted back to .15 now, and touch is good now. And also no screen flickering.

Question OnePlus 9 touch issue

My OP9 is perfect apart from 1 thing. When scrolling, I keep my finger on the screen when I stop. When I resume scrolling after a second of the finger being still, there is a slight delay in responsiveness of the screen which resolves within a second. The bug does not occur in any other scenario.
I've figured out what the issue is using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rt.touchmultitest
The touch sampling rate drops to around 50Hz when the finger is stationary on the screen, and doesn't reset to 240Hz fast enough when you start moving again...
Can anyone please test it to confirm?
TLDR: Touch sampling rate idles when finger doesn't move/moves a little.
Ive noticed issues but it was resolved when i removed the OEM screen protector that's preinstalled on the phone.
I also had to get a new OP9 (unrelated to removing said OEM screen protector) and I am now just dealing with the responsiveness issues until it starts losing its flush application to the screen and starts peeling.
Just a guess but people not realizing its there or just forgetting due to it being so easy to forget is a major reason they report touch responsiveness issues (happen to me when I first got the OP9 AND 6)
Maybe thats it?

It could be the screen protector, although I doubt it... It seems to occur in a very specific situation, almost like it's there intentionally.
Could you please replicate these steps:
1. Scroll on a website/text
2. Stop scrolling and keep your finger on the screen (important)
3. After a second of the finger being still, resume scrolling with a fast gesture (without moving the finger off the screen) and see if the screen follows with appropriate speed.
In my case, there is a noticable delay at first but it resolves after moving the finger for a while.
Can anyone please check if their phone behaves like this? Thanks a lot!
I have the exact same issue.
i have the same issue too
Nope , tried recreating, no issue here .
p.s. not using seen protectors .
Hey OP. I am on the Paranoid Android Alpha ROM and believe this will correct your issue. Its touch responsiveness feels completely different from stock for me and no longer have any issues.
If you are comfortable with any of that, maybe give it a try.

i cant find the article, but its a bug that was introduced by google even to the pixel lineup in android last year or year before. The same thing happens on the One Plus Nord N200. Its annoying. I beleive google fixed it but doesnt seem like one plus has fixed it or carried the fix from the google tree. In android 11 google also introduced touch sensitivity but seems like one plus removed it in their final release ROM/FIRMWARE https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-new-increased-touch-sensitivity-option-android-11/

Question S22 Ultra bugs (mobile data/display/other)

Just got my phantom black, 12/256 exynos version delivered today, been using it since this morning and I noticed that on mobile data I have little to no connection even though the 5g icon is stable in the Taskbar, as soon as I connect to wifi everything runs normally. I also had the purple glitch when touching the fingerprint sensor but solved it by disabling the dinamic animated lock screen wallpaper and putting in a normal, static one.
Another issue is that the phone locks itself (goes to lock screen) while browsing the apps (just like double tapping on home screen) but not while using any app.
I hope this is just firmware issue since they are shipping all the phones with the same firmware region based but maybe they still need feedback from some carriers (hence the mobile data issue) and also the display glitches I believe are nothing that a firmware update wouldn't fix.
P. S. : in these first few hours I didn't get at 1 hz refresh rate

With my xiaomi 12 pro if the screen brightness is dim it doesn't go to its lowest refresh rate. Increase the screen brightness and see if it goes to 1 hertz
I am having exactly all the same problems as OP with my 12/512 Exynos version. Now wondering if it is hardware or software issue with the screen glitching when using the fingerprint sensor. The glitch only occurs when using 3088x1440 wqhd+ resolution and dynamic animated lock screen. Position of the screen interference is always the same but can differ in size.

Could this also be a YouTube thing also? Like how Netflix has to certify certain devices in order to use HDR content. Maybe these new 2.0 panels need to have apps updated to work with them.

They forgot to mention one thing. The adaptive refresh rate only works, if your brightness is above 8% or ambient light sensor reads more than 40 lux.
So if you are some like me, with low brightness and low ambient light, get ready for your battery to dissappear as it will be stuck at 120Hz...
on some forums it is mentioned that on Vivis setting for display, the problem does not occur anymore; can you confirm?
anyway, the fact that these artefacts are not displayed when in FHD setting, shows that it is not a display problem, but a software or GPU
I've posted this in a separate thread. I don't think my issue is linked to the screen issues described here. I have a flashing green pixel. Seems like hardware. See the pics.
I have a mountain of problems too, with S22 Ultra black 12/256.
I've got:
Overheating and rebooting in my pocket when doing nothing
Random hanging whilst scrolling down a long list
Intermittent flashing green dots (I think four) across the screen
Horrendous battery life (had it for only 48 hours, but still)
S-Pen sometimes doesn't fire the Air Actions menu when removed (or basically just doesn't notice it's been removed?)
And not really a problem, but after 4 generations it still can't record HDR and 60 frames per second, when in 4k.
This is a huge disappointment, and the fastest tech return ever from me.

Mine gets delivered today. and if I have a green pixel like that on mine it is going back so fast.

Question Adaptive refresh rate

The first day I had my GS22U I noticed what I thought was some sort of odd screen adjustments but thought it may be adaptive brightness learning my habits. As I've used the phone I was able to reliably replicate my issue. Anytime I'm using adaptive refresh rate and I'm using a text field I can see what appears to be very subtle gradient shifts or flickering both when I start typing and when I stop typing. This is especially noticable in Google chromes search bar, Facebook messenger and reddit text fields. If you use a camera to look at the display it almost appears as an old school crt monitor when you see it through a camera. I was able to replicate this issue on my wife's device as well and the issue can be resolved by lowering the refresh rate to 60hz.
Has anyone else noticed this issue, or would car to try to replicate the issue? It is extremely subtle and easiest to detect using a camera to record it. Is there anyway to lock my refresh rate to a higher frequency with root permission?
Update, I happened to scroll down and see the galaxy max hz app that allowed me control over the refresh rate and I noticed that certain frequency would create the aforementioned issue and certain frequencies wouldn't. It seems as if seeing the min to 60 and max to 120 has resolved my flicker issue. Edit: never mind. It seems that different frequencies or the changing of frequencies tends to make the issue worse.
i turned it off, phone is very laggy with it. my screen is flickering
Now it seems as if I'm having a hard time noticing it with my naked eye but it seems to be getting worse when I look at it through a camera. I'm wondering if I should trade this in as a defective device.

No but worried it's going to get worse and become even more noticable with the naked eye. I wouldn't have thought to look at it through a camera if I wasn't noticing something I noticed with my naked eye.

Question Video Flickering at 60fps

Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. - https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...t-flickering-on-video-recordings/td-p/2209967
Seems to only do it at 60fps options 1080p60 and 4K60.
Except its just not flash light related or LED light related. It'll do it outside as well Highly annoying!
I tested it and don't have this issue.

Its not a 100% all the time issue. Its under certain lighting specific lighting conditons. Usually lower light for me
for low light always use auto fps. it was tested to show its actually better and brighter and clearer

Last year on the 12 Pro Max Auto FPS ruined a video that couldnt be remade. It for some reason switched despite being in the bright outside, on top of that it recorded 24fps and made the clip choppy. Not saying samsung would do this but its not worth the risk keeping that enabled.
But the weird flickering has happened with it being bright outside as well

something doesn't seem to be syncing. i would say the flickering is due to hardware more than software. but yea i only switch on auto fps in low light and its been impressive. i forget where but there's a video of the s22u side by side and auto fps was much more preferable since it could slow down frames meaning it would be brighter with less artificial noise reduction
Looks like a PWM frequency issue depending on the brightness of the (flash LED).
Literally just made a thread about this. The exact same problem. Glad to see i'm not the only one, because I wasn't able to find any other person experiencing this. You can see my example videos here:
Is it normal that my camera flickers on videos when the lighting level changes ? Does it happen on you too ?
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ? Here are 2 example videos...

Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update
I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.

The US model doesn't have the update. I have the U/U1 model which we just got an update not long ago. So I'm sure it'll he awhile.
Glad it was fixed in an update!

Alright, tell me when you receive the update and check please, you're the only one I can ask this since nobody else was realizing about this problem lol. Hope it gets fixed for you too!

I'll post here if it ever gets fixed. Yeah I'm sure it's just people don't notice it.
Example
I can hand my phone to my mom and set it to 60hz. And low power mode. She will think it's crazy fast and no lag. When it most certainly is not LOL
She does now find her old S10 slow after using a S21 FE the past few weeks.
