I got the phone 2 days ago and today I noticed a rather peculiar issue I don't seem to have noticed yesterday. I was browsing Instagram and there was this image that consisted of a lot of shadows and dark areas, as I scrolled lower the next image was much lighter and bright with almost no shadows and as I was seeing the image, the phone suddenly brightened up the shadows and the colours changed a little. I was surprised and I tested this in other apps such as reddit and the issue persists. If there is a lot of dark content on the screen, the shadows will be pitch black but as soon as the content gets bright, the shadows will get muddy and will behave like a LCD display. I even tried screen recording this but in the clip it shows everything is normal. This is annoying the hell out of me. Please help me.
What are your display settings? I'm pretty sure by default it automatically switches the resolution between 1440 and 1080.
Might be the oneplus video enhancer at work. Try toggling it off
I also noticed, it is due to the 90 hz, try to replicate your steps to 60hz, in my case it does not happen. I noticed it in the camera when making a dark photo at the time of opening it, it looked perfect to the delay of 2/3 seconds, it was horrible to see, the whole image turned blue and the black step to lcd (bluish gray very Dark). When using the camera or videos is reduced to 60hz in gallery up to 90hz

The display tapers down to 60hz in camera app, on call and while watching videos.
Change your settings.

Does it happen in bright areas? I've noticed when high brightness mode kicks in, blacks turn to muddy greys and when I go into a dark room, it normalizes.
Same issue with me. Funny, I couldn't find anything about this on the internet anywhere till today and came here to make a post about it. It's really annoying when I'm outside because the brightness automatically turns blacks to grey. Changing the brightness manually instantly fixes it though.
I think it might be a feature called adaptive screen or something? I don't have the device but I remember OnePlus mentioned something about optimizing the image displayed on the screen. Try to look if there's a setting about adaptive screen or brightnes
Is "Video enhancer" in Settings > Display enabled?
That will cause your display to shift between regular mode and "HDR" mode if video content is detected

I've noticed that when using my Skyrocket camera indoors, especially during the day, that there seems to be a slightly reddish hue around the center of the photo. This is noticeable in the display while I'm viewing the scene, and in the final photo. I am using auto white balance. I also notice that when I view a scene under incandescent lights using auto or incandescent w/b, the center has a greenish tint while the surrounding area is slightly reddish.
The following photo of the off white wall was taken in the early afternoon with ambient daylight. I was wondering if others with a Skyrocket have noticed the same thing. I just want to try to figure out if this is a normal condition with this phone before I go back to the AT&T store to demand an exchange. Thanks.

That wasn't Kool-Aid, that was wine. Lol.
After doing some experimentation, I have discovered that the light pollution from my LCD TV and my PC monitor in a room with ambient daylight seems to be the culprit here. I am somewhat of a photography buff and understand the effect of different types of light on digital photography, so I tried turning my monitor and TV off, and the reddish tint disappeared. My real cameras don't have this problem, but I guess the camera on this phone isn't quite up to the task of properly adjusting to different light sources at the same time. Anyway, I'll just have to be aware of this whenever I take photos indoors.
I'm still interested in hearing about your results, though. Thanks.
Oops, spoke too soon. I tried it again this morning and got the same red splotch. Maybe the lighting was different earlier. Anyway, I did some more searching leaving "Skyrocket" out and came up with several threads about this in the Galaxy S2, and other forums. Seems to be a common problem with the white balance in a lot of phone cameras, so I guess I'll just live with it.
reddish hue in middle of scene in camera
Sorry to bring up an old post, but I recently purchsed this S2 Skyrocket and have seen the same issues. I was about to call AT&T for an exchange, but could I be safe to say, i just need to adjust white balance?
There has been no other replies so either you and I are the only ones and need an exchange or others are just not replying.
Hope others can chime in.
Thanks!
Good day Sirs
I would just like to ask if there are any of you guys that has encountered this issue/bug on s8+'s back camera using Pro mode and high shutter speed settings (as you move the shutter speed to high)
the issue usually presents itself when I go to Pro mode and use high shutter speed settings which is 1/500 and up and usually indoors
got to test this on two demo units and only 1 also has this
could you any of you guys post your images with the said settings or if you guys had it replicated...
the issue/bug is already right there at the preview screen
so what you see on my images is also what i see on my screen... the only difference is the dark lines are moving sideways on the preview screen
please help me on this Sirs
will bring my unit at the service center this weekend
btw, I have the S8+ exynos version
here are the shots

I just visited Samsung Service Center this weekend and they have replicated the issue on one of their demo units and told me that they will forward myconcern in their main office...
And hopefully could hear from them ASAP...
Any of you guys has replicated this bug/issue?
I think its a normal limitation isn't it? Light level is probably too low which is why its more prevelant indoors as well. I'd venture to say all of the s8's do this (including mine). Don't panic mate. Just enjoy the phone.

been doing that since day 1... hehehe! thanks! all i'm thinking right now is that I'm not gonna use that setting indoors or in low-light anyways
Looks like a pattern very typical of fluorescent lighting + fast shutter speed - I think it's called "banding". Pretty sure I can see flouro lights in a reflection in a couple of photos. Find a constant/non-flickering light source like an incandescent bulb and try it. Notice how it isn't doing it on your laptop display?
Your camera is not faulty and it is not a bug.
50/60 Hz flickering?
My bad, the last two posters are correct. I think that's exactly what the problem is. The banding is caused by the frequency of the lights.
Yup, I but these pics are all being taken under fluorescent lighting.
So when I was taking some photos indoors a sort of wave pattern started occurring on the display of my U11. All photos taken while this weird distortion was being displayed became blurred almost to the point of not being recognizable. The only way to get this to go away was to restart the phone...anyone know what the heck that was? Some sort of issue with the OIS?

Could you post a photo?
Which ROM/version?
Stock phone and I will check to see if I can find one of the photos in the cloud. I deleted those from the phone itself after the restart.
Found the photo, I was snaping a photo to send to a friend cause he was wondering what is an "Andy Gator" when I told him what beer I was drinking. I also noticed a similar problem the other night when I was trying to snap a photo in low light conditions. Everything started to almost vibrate on the screen blurring everything out.

It looks like blur caused by camera shake due to long exposure. Is this problem present with good light conditions?
BUMP.
Same problem here, phone started a few days ago with displaying the same "wavy" pattern. First it was like 1 in 10 times when I open the camera app, now it's more like 9 out of 10 and almost impossible to use. No matter the conditions: dark, light, shiny, close-up, portret, landscape, ...
I just made a quick gif to illustrate:
And some photo's I just took where I had to restart the camera app or switch the aspect ratio (standard 16:9, switching to 4:3 or 1:1 and back, all aspect ratio's had the annoying thing) numerous times to get atleast a decent picture, so you can see the conditions:
This first shot took me nearly 5 minutes before the camera started without that pattern
This one took about 3 restarts and two aspect ratio switches:
Probably the OIS module is malfunctioning.
It's my first contact with an oled panel from close view and personal usage. I noticed that the display acts like and LCD which is backlit even if there is a black image. Is the same supposed to happen to AMOLED? I thought the pixels would light themselves and if there is a black image, the screen should look the same like when its turned off - and it doesnt act like that, there is a dim light that's showing up when the screen is on and displaying a black image. Is it normal? Is the screen replaced with an LCD? ( i bought the phone used )
THanks!!
Easy test for an LCD, view through polarized glasses and rotate.
LCDs have a polarization filter so a second polarized lense with block the polarized light at some point in it's rotation axis.
Sadly i dont have a pair
I tried to take some samples of the pixels with another phone, here are the results:
MI MIX 3:

Photos taken of a LCD tablet:

Is it possible to say from these pictures that the display on the mi mix isnt RGB Stripe?
Like, maybe im considering it wrong, but i thought viewing from this angle an AMOLED panel with a black image should be the same like the second image when its off:
The contrast ratio of Amoled vs LCD is exponentially greater.
Searched through some logs and apps and found out its a samsung ea8076 - same display which is on the K20 Pro/mi 9t pro. Everywhere i searched i've found only amoled, i also looked up on the internet and there are available TFT replacements for the mix 3, i think it's amoled but it's very unusual - if i put a true amoled black image on the screen and increase the brightness, the screen gets brighter, even if there's nothing else than black pixels. Also, the maximum brightness is slightly lower than the one of my older phone ( RN3 Pro). I don't know what to believe at this moment.
Indeed it's changed, it's lcd, checked it under a microscope
to add on this, an easier test may be to check if a black background/image results in no light coming from screen (easier to see in the dark). LCD displays emit light (the backlight is still on) even for black images, oled do not

The easiest foolproof way is view with polarized sunglasses and rotate.
LCDs show their stripes...
hello I would like to report a software bug of the pixel.
when we put the color profile in adaptive and we before the brightness of the screen to full on a solid color (notification panel, settings) we can notice a line that is displayed along the entire length of the screen
this is indeed software bug because i currently have pixel 7 pro and i proceed this bug on both.

This is also happening to my pixel 7 pro.
It is more visible with brightness set to max and only occurs on grey backgrounds like notifications panel or chrome tab manager when dark mode is enabled.
The line is wider at 1080p and thinner at native resolution. Changing colour display from adaptative to natural also changes the line appearance (from grey to dark blue) but it is always present.
Sometimes it disappears on its own after a short time. Touching the screen may also cause it to disappear or reappear.
I´m not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
Anyone else facing this problem?
while i have a pixel 6a .. this happened (since) last week here as well. not sure how these two devices are comparable in that regard.
for me the line can be "forced" to show up more visibly when "pressing" some specific area in the lower part of the display (just like a usual display-touch, but using more force), and can be made almost invisible when "pressing" (with force as well) the outer case pf the phone (from all sides). either way, it’s seems to be a hardware problem for me. google support agreed (!) and right now the local repair shop (acting on google’s behalf) ordered a new display for me and will install it next week. the guys at the shop already told me they’ve seen a few of these cases BUT always after the phone fell down on hard ground or something (which wasn’t the case for me).
I think it is more of a manufacturing flaw/design/anomaly??? Not so much a bug or something to really worry about because it only appears under certain extreme conditions such as MAX screen brightness with dark mode on certain colors. Meh...
