Hi everyone,
I am almost sure it's a hardware issue, but would love to hear your feedback/opinion.
I am using the 20.7.9 build of Xiaomi.eu, but had the issue with earlier builds as well. It's mainly a bright area in the upper third of the screen, but only if the brightness is very low, like at night, and it's particularly worse with dark mode and reading mode enabled. With dark mode is just the brightness issue, but with reading mode enabled as well it's the festival of colours you see in the photo.
Is anyone else experiencing that?
EDIT: Uploaded better screenshot (previous was particularly because of the wallpaper, current one is not)

I just found out that "DC-Dimming" intensifies the greenish tint by a substantial amount. I have it disabled now

Interestingly enough, that doesn't help an awful lot in my case. However, Reading Mode makes it worse for me.
There's also an interesting post on Reddit crosslinking this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/i4o026
A very similar problem seems to also have occurred on the OnePlus 8 Pro and the galaxy S20 Ultra where it was addressed via a software update.
I am currently in contact with the supplier (HKG) and they'd like a video which I will prepare over the weekend.

One additional interesting observation: I used DisplayTest from the Google Play Store to check the different gray settings. None of these nor the gamma tests show anything abnormal. This makes me believe more of a software than a hardware issue...

Deactivating another setting seems to help: Settings->Display->Dark Mode->Adjust contrast automatically
Does that work for you as well?

I have the exact same issue bro in the exact same place. I'm using stock ROM
I don't have the device yet (I'm getting it by tomorrow, yey!) but this also happens to my Black Shark 2 before. I bet this is a software issue, and like what others mentioned, it has something to do with DC dimming and HDR enabled, like what I had in Black Shark 2.
Here's on my k30 pro. I don't mind it tho. Although I hope it gets fixed on a software update.

Black Shark 2 has the option to turn off Display Enhancement feature that relies on third-party DSP (Pixelwork's), which includes DC Dimming and HDR settings. Turning off such feature "fixes" the weird tint on dark grey colors. If only Poco has this option.
By the way, I just got my F2 Pro earlier and I did not encounter such issue in MIUI11. However, after updating to MIUI12, it's very noticeable even in low brightness. I can clearly see the green tint on the grey background of XDA app while typing this. LOL.
Same here :
The picture is supposed to be solid green. Dc diming is turned off.
This is very annoying :/

The only solution for me is to only use the phone during daytime and hope the problem will not get worse.
I will never buy again a phone without warranty.

I used MIUI 11 and MIUI 12 without seeing a difference. I don't think there will ever be a software fix other than rising minimum brightness
I can confirm that more than 10 people are having this issue. Can somebody report it to Poco and have it looked?

It seems when I use my normal watchface the black background is black, but as soon as it switches to AOD, the screen is more brighter and the black background is a bit grey... It's very annoying in a dark room. It feels like it uses more power with AOD than with an active watchface, although it's not true, as I left the active one on for about 15 minutes and it used significantly more power. Still finding it a bit strange. Have you noticed the same?
There is no backlight. It's an AMOLED display.

Yeah I get that, still try in a dark room to set up a watchface (e.g. AlphaDark). It is pitch black on normal, but on AOD the background is grey and shines more than the active watchface.

Yep.
Yes I did notice that as well. AOD on my wife's s7 has a completely black background except for the image displayed but our watch seems to dimly light the whole screen, possibly because of its size and/or a way to accommodate the various types of faces with AOD. But i did notice it on both stock and 3rd party faces.

I'm not seeing that on mine, at least with the Alpha Dark 2.0 watch face. The background is just as black as the regular display.

Have you tried in a really dark room? Take a photo of the screen with a smartphone right after it switches to AOD, it might shows better.

It shouldn't matter, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm using mine with a Samsung S7 Edge.
I'm surprised there are different firmware versions for watches with identical functionality. I'd think the guts would be the same in the Classic and Bluetooth-only version of the Frontier.
It might be worth a call to Samsung. Even though they're dimly-lit, those pixels are consuming power and your battery life will suffer more than it should.
I decided to just turn AOD off. Seems like my battery life was taking a bigger hit than I expected by leaving it on.
I just tested my Classic, and it is also completely black when AOD is active(completely black room). I tried both a stock watchface, and a 3rd party one.
I think you should call support and see if you can get a new one!

Thanks for checking.
Just got the latest update, but the problem still persist :/ Let's see what Samsung says...
I recently received a replacement pixel after breaking my screen through insurance. The replacement was a refurb and I set it up using the device transfer. The only issue I have with the replacement is the "Night Light" is too amber. There is a dramatic difference between Night Light on my old Pixel vs replacement Pixel. From what I can tell, Night Light relies on hardware.
Night Light uses a new hardware composer interface to do color transforms on the display hardware rather than using a GL Shader, which unfortunately means it requires driver support that is not present on Nexus devices.

With an hour or so of searching, I haven't found any other reports of this. Is it possible the replacement is defective? Has anyone else heard of this? Android is up to date.
See attachment for a picture of a side by side comparison between the two. Adaptive brightness is off and brightness level roughly the same for both. Both displays are much more amber than the picture shows, but it does show the difference between the two.

What is wrong? On the right side night mode isn't active. It's set to sunrise but it's not triggered.
It is activated. It's not obvious in the picture because the amber is more subtle on the phone on the right side.
To confirm that the night light on the right looks correct, I have compared with a coworker's Pixel XL.

It involves modding your services.jar. I probably have a stock one you could flash if you are rooted. Or blue.

I know how to edit Jars, but I have not rooted this phone, and would prefer not to. I assume sudo is required? I actually don't want blue, but simply a less aggressive amber/orange.

My phone is doing the same exact thing. They said they're sending me a replacement. This is the third replacement by the way. First was a camera unable to focus, then it was a microphone problem , now it's the screen .. I'm losing trust with this product
A phone replacement resolved this issue for me. Unfortunately it took two more replacements after this to get which had no other issues.

I just received my 4th replacement. This one has an orange screen and not as bright as my other 3 Pixels. I guess I need a 5th replacement. This is really making me really angry.
I had this issue with many replacements. My original was the only one to not have the deep orange look. But I had other issues with that device.
I got tired of sending for replacements so I just said forget it, I won't use night light.
I'm running O DP4 now and there is an intensity slider on the night light options which I've finally settled for. You can make it as intense as you want.
Hello fellow XDA people.
I recently acquired a second Honor 9 unit which is the Midnight Black. My first one is a Blue. There seem to be a few hardware differences between these two units. First of all is the screen and I seriously doubt they are made by the same manufacturer because of their obvious differences. The main difference is the viewing angles that differs hugely. My blue unit has really amazing viewing angles for being an LCD while the black unit loses a lot of its brightness very quickly and looks way more dull from an angle. Also the white balance differ a lot between the two the blue one has a more blur/green shift to it while the black untit has a much more warm and "fuller" white balance to it. It's impossible to calibrate them to look the same they are just different. The blue units screen look somewhat duller in comparison even though it wins easily in viewing angles. The black unit has more contrast and just generally looks more "lifelike" and warmer. It's also the most even screen I have ever seen in terms of uniformity (not that the blue one is bad). The glas front also has a different "texture" across the screen. On the blue I can really only see the digitizer marks but on the black I have this other small faint "sparkling dots" effect that some screen protectors can give at times. Nothing serious but it's there and the glas on the blue unit looks a little clearer.
The second difference is the fingerprint reader. It's waay faster on the blue unit while it's much much slower on the black one when I compare. One the blue it's instant I can't even make it fault even if I try to tap very fast. The one on the black unit has this delay and it's clearly not as fast to read my finger. The black unit also has a small delay when pressing it to go back to the homescreen while it does it instantly on the blue one which makes it feels faster in operation.
Both has touch screen issues and both run B130 firmware. The black one unfortunately shipped with B130. However there are differences here too the black one has more severe touch problems than the blue. The touch is seriously borked on the black one with both delays and lags and it's harder to use because of this. To the border of unusable really. Something must be seriously wrong with the software that makes the touch go bonkers I doubt I have hardware fault with both of them that makes them behave a little differently. Guessing this is mainly why updates have been pulled by Huawei.

Return the black one and ask for a replacement immediately
For sure this is a prove that they use different factorys for screens but this is not a news because many brands to this ( xiaomi is the first I could mention ), to me this is a case of bad or not perfect gluing of digitizer on the black one. Was a different font used between the two too or?

In fact I prefer the display on the black one it looks much better so I don't want to get rid of it specially not when I have gotten such a perfect screen regarding uniformity I never get very lucky with this historically. I will wait for software update and see if it fixes things in the end they both have the same problem that I haven't seen on any of the 4 units I have tested in store with B100.

It feels like it's software issue how the touch behaves really and not hardware. Both has same problem with delay when I scroll but it differs some between the two in feeling. Will wait for software update.

It's not really lag. It's some thing were it takes the screen a few millimeters of swiping before content starts moving. Taps and such are instant while typing on keyoard so the digitizer doesn't lag in itself. We are many with this problem and for most the issue apperared after updating to B130 while it was fine on B100.

I definitely have a little better battery life on the black one. It just seems more energy efficient. Perhaps the screen is more power efficient than the other variant I don't know. But something it is as I feel it has about 10-20% better battery life than the blue unit.
Also, today out of nowhere the delay went away when pressing the fingerprint reader to go back to the homescreen. It's just instant on the black unit now too. Didn't change a thing which seems weird. Oh well I don't complain.
Rommco05 said:
So which one is better in your opinion
-screen
-battery
-etc...
Click to expand...

-Screen: definitely the black unit. It has way better contrast and much better whites. The screen just "pops" more on the black. The screen on the blue looks a bit dull in comparison. However the viewing angles on the blue are much much better. Don't really care though because it's me who's gonna use the unit and not someone beside me.
-Battery: the black one seems to have some kind of advantage. The same usage that gives me 5 hour SOT on the blue gives me around 6 hours on the black. I'm guessing the display is a little more power efficient perhaps.
-Fingerprint reader: the one on the blue is much faster to read my fingers. It definitely wins this one.
Besides those points I have not really noticed anything more that seems to differ.
"I've created a Telegram group to discuss possible issues with some users and most everybody noticed a huge issue with the Camera, with this one having huge lens flare in certain angle where the source of light is not even visible on the Viewfinder. This happens not only at sunlight but also at night where the strength of a single street lamp ruins the whole Camera experience."
This was the E-Mail i've been sending to Oppo and apparently their fix is:
1 - Clear Camera App Cache
2 - Reboot the Phone
3 - Update your Software Version
4 - Factory Reset the phone
The problem is that this is a Hardware issue and Oppo doesn't recognize this.

This is how a Lens Flare happens and it is normal in most cases, but not here. People are having this aiming the phone to the floor.
So, do you guys have this issue?
Basically go outdoor and keep playing with the Camera until you see the Flares as the attachment shows.
It must be on a certain angle and only affects the Main Camera.
More examples:
Good write up of the issue, I haven't gone out of my way to try and reproduce your issue but I've had the phone since release in the UK and taken at least 100 photos in varying lighting conditions and not one of them has any flares or reflections like in your shots

Mmmm I live in Seville (Spain) hard sun 300 out of 365 days of the year and for the moment I havent noticed this, here im going to post 3 recent photos (obviously with the find x2 pro) and in one of them (the grizzlies one) maybe a little bit of flare in the left side of the photo
its not in direct contact with the light, its on a certain angle depending on the phone.

i dont notice it aswell on daylight in real life usage, but when you know how to reproduce it it's hard to miss
I don't see flares in my shots, but I notice that there is a blurring of outer area of the frame.
When I take a photo of a document or something a foot or two from the lens its very noticeable.
Its sharp in the center of the frame but blurs are very obvious around the center.

thats normal due the sensor size.
I don't have this issue I'd recommend getting a repair/replacement through warranty, problem solved

The problem is that Oppo says it's a Software issue.

So if that's what they think, what software solution are they going to come up with?

none. i've mention this even before i got the phone and still no proper answer.
it's still under "investigation"
Having exactly the same issue here. I get a halo toward the bottom of pictures mainly around 6-7 in the evening. Doesn't look like a software issue I would say definitely lens related on the main camera.

Still can't seem to replicate this issue which makes me think it's device specific, however from the Engineers reply it seems like he's implying it's a limitation rather than a fault

if its limited to some devices, even better. just replace the faulty devices.
Well I don't think it's a limitation because iv have this camera since release and and iv just noticed it yesterday IV been taking pictures for a while now with no issues then just suddenly IV noticed it happening, seems very very bad at takes g a basic picture with a lamp at the side

Look at my post it's shocking
Hi, I've been using the Poco X4 Pro for a month now, it's been a smooth ride though the development for the device is very slow and almost non existent as of now since kernel sources have not been released
The only major flaw I've found with the X4 Pro is the screen flickering, this does not seem like a software issue as I've already tried Miui IN, Miui Eu, Miui global, (Unofficial) Pixel Experience Plus, (Unofficial) Evolution X
The screen flickering is most noticable in a dark environment (basically at night) and the most annoying part is that it occurs while watching multi media content
I don't think I am the only one who has this problem as some of the people in the telegram group for the device explain the same thing
so i don't think getting a replacement will help much as it may be the same for all devices just when u notice it
I don't think there's any "fix" for now atleast
I wanted to ask do you face the same issue on your Poco X4 Pro 5G or Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G?
p.s documenting this is nearly impossible as it happens at random intervals and feels much more subtle on camera than visible with naked eyes
I haven't seen any screen flickering at all and I've watched a lot of content in a dark environment, usually at high brightness. Might be only some devices have it.

You might be right actually, maybe it is only the Indian variant (Peux)
Then use the stock version and wait for the update or just change the display if it is a hardware issue!

Stock rom has the same thing. Changing display might not help actually it seems almost all devices have their screens flickering (noticable in 120hz refresh rate)
So a new display might also have the same problem?

Yup, I have same issue with you. The AMOLED screen on the Poco X4 Pro 5G did not show true black and it shows grey blacklight when the brightness on between 15% - 65%

dang, that seems bad but it also proves that usually the top part has the most problems

And I noticed sometimes my Poco X4 Pro 5G have a bit laggy when swiping or scrolling FB, messenger, etc... This issue happened since when its first launched.
I still don't understand why Poco did not want fix all bugs on their phone and What's the point of keep updating security patch?

Actually top part and bottom part has the most problems and I noticed it has flicking issue.

The lags are definitely a software issue and can be fixed, for me i just got out of Miui and it's pretty smooth for daily use now

i barely notice the bottom part when consuming multi media content (which is usually when this thing happens)
But yeah both are bad though it seems the flickering is at its worse in the top part?
No issues for me with anything mentioned in this thread
have u tried turning off dynamic refresh rate....i had stutters when i turned it on...
Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5g here. No issues on my device either. I notice the screen flickering slightly at night but it seems like a software issue on my end with vivid mode and auto brightness conflicting with one another.
I have this problem with my poco x4 as well, any updates on this?

it's happening to me too my phone is POCO X4 PRO 5G (8,256) global variant and it wasn't back then when i had A11 but since there's A12 it's started flickering specially when it displays dark content and when it was on A11 it couldn't display true black when u put it on 10-25 brightness
It's been a week since I got my Poco X4 Pro 5G and today I noticed that the screen keeps flickering, it is visible in apps that are not completely dark like Facebook or Google. I also noticed that this only happens when I leave the refresh rate at 120hz, at 60hz the screen is normal
same here and also it started on a12
Hello, I have been using the Poco X4 Pro 5G for 1 month and I have the same problem, at a certain level of brightness the screen is gray black that is not amoled black and also flickers, it is most likely a software problem.
There is a solution but it is through an application and they have disadvantages the colors will not be as vivid:

Oreo Colorizer uses an invisible system overlay operating in wide color gamut that forces the display to shift its color space to DCI-P3 instead of the default sRGB. Optimized Rendering only affects apps that use SurfaceFlinger (IE: 99% of all...
