Strange screen refresh issue after 5.1 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Im having a strange issue after the 5.1 update on my nexus 5. If I unlock the screen and click on an app, the screen does a weird refresh. After having a close look it almost looks like the home screen is moving down and the app i have clicked on is moving over it. A bit hard to explain and it is cosmetic but looks very ugly.
On occasion when i have received a whatsapp notification, and i double click on the notification from the lock sreen, enter my pattern, the screen will go black and think about what it is trying to do for a second, whatapp will not be displayed and the homescreen will be displayed instead, where as before this procedure would take me to the whatsapp message screen
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue ? any fix ? Many thanks

Whatsapp Hidden Message?

Hi guys.
I've been noticing a strange message that occurs some times, after unlocking my GNex (4.2.2) and quickly enter Whatsapp. The screen background goes dark green, with the app logo in the middle and, at the bottom, the word "jogos" (games in Portuguese). This screen somehow remembers me the installation screen. Then, after half a second, the screen changes back to normal known chat screens.
I read that Whatsapp is moving towards gaming. Maybe this is a preloaded code to quickly permit the future launching of the inside gaming platform, as a glitch.
I'm trying hard to get a screenshot, but the screen doesn't appear very often.
Any thoughts??

[Q] customis the smart cover lock screen

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.

swiping my home screen

Good day everyone,
Just want to ask if anyone experiencing this, whenever I swipe or switched my home screen page. My screen lights also changed like from dim it will be bright a little.
I already tried to change my brightness settings even my themes but still the same.
It seems pretty alarming to me :laugh: that's why I would like to ask if anyone experienced this. Is it normal or what.
Thanks!

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

Question Bug with proximity sensor

Hi guys,
It often happens to me that screens shuts off when I try to click on top tier of screen, it's really annoying especially with full screen apps.
I recently put on screen protector film but I don't know if it's due to this.
Anyone has this problem ?
Many thanks.
Are you rooted and using [MOD][Xposed+Magisk][Pre-Release] AOSP Mods - System modifications for AOSP-based Android 12+'s option to double-tap the status bar to sleep? If so, it might be related to that setting. I was trying to reproduce a different bug, playing a full-screen landscape YouTube video and I found almost every time I tried to make the status bar appear and then drag it down, I accidentally shut the screen off.
Luckily for me, I rarely try to do something like that while in a full-screen landscape app, so I'm keeping that setting on.
If you're not rooted or not using that Magisk Module, then ignore this.
I'm not.
It happens even whith WhatsApp when I select a message in a conversation and try to click on delete icon located in top screen, screen shuts off.
Where is the promixity sensor ?

I'm not really sure. I just unlocked my P7P and ran my finger across the status bar, back and forth and I never found it.

Meanwhile, the cutout for the proximity sensor has been slightly tweaked again and is more to the right of the front-facing camera than last year’s Pro phone.

I have the same problem. TMobile Visual Voicemail has its delete button just below and to the right of the front camera and the screen turns off before I can delete the playing voicemail. I have to go back to the full list of voicemails and delete from there.
