Strange screen refresh issue after 5.1

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

Global Update 1.8.10

new update pushing to global Nex

Haven't noticed any major differences from the last version. Waiting for Android Pie...

little improve in video quality
and notice something happed to the screen when play hdr video on youtube
also the quality of taking picture from front camera in WhatsApp and snapchat improved

Snapchat's front camera photos are still beautified or not sharp.
I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.

App clone is broken.
My second whatsapp doesn't show up anywhere after the update.

is there a direct link to download this or any Nex S firmware so that I can flash it?

Vivo customer service is awesome. The fingerpint not working/appearing issue with the last update, when AOD is off and proximity sensor(infrared sensor) is triggered is FIXED after discussion/video of issue with customer support

Updated to 1.8.10 yesterday and tried using Lens and Assistant this morning but both seem broken. Lens says "thanks for updating, we will be available soon" or something like that. Assistant freezes the phone and won't open at all.
Anyone else have this problem?
Agreed that fps is faster but haven't noticed the other two.

Hmm....the stock "launcher" k8nd of restarts several times a day, like I go to home screen and it displays only loading... For a couple of seconds, then the homescreen apears...like after a fresh boot up?!

Happens to me too. Mostly when I go home after browsing the net.

Battery life after update now halved. Not a good update. I reported to support but doubt there will be a solution. Anyone else having poor battery life ?

I am not experiencing any problems everyone else is describing.

For me updated working very nicely. No issues in launcher and camera quality has been improved specially for selfie camera.

0 issues

Double tap to close the screen still doesn't work.
AOD still doesn't work with third party apps (except for WhatsApp).
Very few skins for AOD

A double tap to turn off the screen works but on the lock screen. You will wake up with a double throttle to wake up the screen and extinguish it with a double thump.

For custom launchers, try to clean cache files. I had faced some issues before cleaned caching
No issues after that, even in the duration of battery life

Google photos, strange tint

Hi, just updated my google phones and now noticed when looking at photos it applies a strange yellow dull tint when the picture is loaded. swipe to the next picture and you will notice after a split second the picture dulls, most noticeable on white background pictures. if you drag up to get the picture information it reverts to how the picture should look, nice and vibrant. Is anyone else experiencing this? rather annoying.
Thanks

Same here no solution yet

Noticed it too....super annoying

Just got delivery of my OP7 Pro this morning and I'm experiencing the same. Any suggested solutions?

Same here, looks like a Photos app issue

I'm having the same problem on my OnePlus 7 pro. I noticed it after the latest update of Google photos

Update to my response: I noted that if you have night mode on, and you open a photo, Photos will change the color mode to normal again and your screen will look white. I have to turn off and then on the night mode to get the tint again. Looks like Photos is playing with the display color briefly.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue with my OnePlus 7...

This explains it: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...r-support-breaks-night-mode-on-oneplus-7-pro/

Glad I'm on the only one! Very annoying

My Oppo Reno 10x is giving me similar issues. When swiping from one photo to the next in Google Photos the colour cast changes after a split second and if you press the screen and do the slightest swipe in either direction without actually swiping to the next/previous photo, the colour cast changes as well. Doesn't do it in the native Oppo gallery so I assume it's a Photos issue.

Ones you download the picture to your phone is fine, so again it is Google photos problem.

Facing the same issue. ?

So I'm not the only one that noticed.
Facing the same "issue"

Have noticed it some as well...

Now here is a HUGE BUG with this. Open a google photo and leave it open with the weird tint. Lock ur phone. Now try to unlock using fingerprint. Guess what u cant... Seems the tint affect the fingerprint ready. U have to use ur pin.

You are right, can't unlock the phone when showing a photo with google photo. What a weird bug

Yes, seeing the same issue on the Oppo Reno 10x - i believe since Oppo is manufacturing the One Plus phones, they have the same issue...So if Google Photos is not the problem, i'm most probably sure, it will take a very long time until Oppo/OnePlus acknowledge and fix this problem...

Same... Been dealing with it for awhile now. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Same over here on Oppo Reno 10x
Very annoying
But in the meantime I solved it by installing an older Google photos version from apkmirror. (Don't forget to disable auto updating in the Play Store!)
I don't think I will miss out on something although the app bothers me with saying so ?.
Version is 4.10.0.2346283390 and it works just perfect without any strange color adjustments a second after opening a picture. Finally I can watch my pictures like they should be.

Android 11 Beta 2 Released

Just downloaded the Beta 2 OTA from google's site: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota#
Go get it!! Already downloaded and installed on my P4XL. Checking it out now.

Yup just downloaded and flashed and have root still??

Currently on it! Improvement in animation in some places, better landscape to portrait transition.
Missing clock option from themes
Music player now looks better, I think no more an experimental feature.
Final api released good for developers.
Recently screen tweaked a bit no share option anymore.
Yet to find other changes

Problems I have noticed are
The screen flickers a lot especially when using dark theme and a dark themed app.
I'm also missing new media controls.
Anyone got these problems?

does the navigation bar still remain on the home screen even on beta 2?

Flickering here too

I have the flicker issue too, media controls are there though.
I've noticed there's no longer the option to force 90hz now either in developer settings which I presume would resolve the flicker issue.

Just done a quick test and turned brightness up above 70%ish the flickering stops or just isn't noticeable.

Flicking is so annoying.. is there any fix?
Maybe custom kernel? I can't watch on this stroboscope

Anyone got Magisk working on the new beta? The canary build that was reported working on beta 1 isn't booting for me. (I never tried beta 1 myself.)

Here is my experience...
1) The flickering screen is annoying
2) I had no problems rooting via Magisk
2a) After rooting my Messages app stopped receiving messages but I was able to send them without issue
2b) I could not update apps from the Google Play store. It would just say "Downloading" but nothing would happen
2c) The Google weather widget on the home screen would not show the weather nor would it take me to Google weather when I clicked it. It seemed disabled.
I have since re-flashed the latest Beta but didn't root. All of the above issues, aside from the screen flickering, have been resolved,

Lots of flickering

Terrible flickering...
The flickering exists also at Beta 1 but only at very low brightness (environment and system brightness). Now screen flickering regardless of environment and system brightness (except at extreme high system brightness...) as long as background is not totally black.

Flickering sucks! OMG! No media controls here but do have force 90hz option still

Hopefully the flickering issues can be fixed with a 2.5 patch or maybe play services/kernel update ??

I have tried a few ways no luck yet.
As for other people the flicking screen I have it in this beta . I had it before Beta too, It's the 60hz - 90hz refresh rate. Sucks to say but if you disable it fixes the problem.

I don't see the flickering on my device. Yes to using dark mode, force dark mode, enabling 90 Hzv display (no more force), and playing a couple games at well as watching videos, reading news...
It never shows. Or else I am not recognizing it - and I'm pretty sure I know what flickering means, so....
I do use figure mode to automatically pause most of my games and SoS I don't normally use at work during work hours, so maybe that is why?
Or else something else I might have done?

I thought mine wasn't doing it to until just now. In dark room and looking at chrome settings while using dark mode. The grey background flickers like crazy... On a positive note at least it's safe to to back to Android 10 July without face unlock breaking

Anyone who is missing the new media controls, found any way to get them to work yet?

Auto rotate animation stuttering

Anyone noticing this? This is most noticeable when watching a youtube video. Doesn't matter if it's 60 or 120hz. Not sure how to describe it but it's just like when you're playing a game then suddenly the FPS drops like the performance is being throttled. It's just not smooth as it was like on my Redmi note 4x or poco f1.
I thought the first system update yesterday resolved it but apparently it's still there. I'm also noticing this when scrolling through previous apps but not as noticeable as the auto rotate animation.

Yes, same problem here. Seems like it drops till 60hz when is rotating.

Actually, fps and refresh rate drops to 30 after a few seconds of not touching the screen. This causes the not so fluid animation when you rotate the screen.
Edit: Did some testing and seems like it only happens in YouTube app(vance/official) once you play the video. It doesn't happen when playing videos in gallery or google photos

Another bug....

I can't seem to get auto rotation to work at all actually. Anyone else having this issue? I'm on the latest version of the software, and auto rotation button is blue in drop down, and selected in the menu.

I've tried both ways, with various applications, and it doesn't seem to rotate. Youtube and VLC just now as an example.

It also happens on official YouTube and other apps such as the Vivaldi browser

no problems with stuttering in vanced/youtube or alltogether, however its very sensitive, tilting the phone a little often rotates it.

My poco x3 rotate screen when is flat on the table - how I can fix this annoying issue ?
