Anyone encounter the issue of the screen flickering when viewing Insta stories and Facebook videos? It occurs randomly and I read somewhere that it is due to the screen switching between the 90hz and 60hz refresh rate. If that is the case is it possible to prevent this switching of the refresh rate?

I've noticed it but this device does not have a 90hz screen only 60 so that theory doesn't apply.

This appears to be an issue with the Android 11 update. A quick Google search indicates this happened in the 4a after users upgraded to 11.

Yesterday i noticed something strange in my OP7p and i'd like you to check whether something like this occurs in your phones. Issue, which i will describe occurs only when i have 90hz refresh rate set and the low brightness of the screen with the auto adjustment of brightness turned off. The easiest way to see that is on youtube application with a dark theme. When we start a movie on the full screen (horizontally) and watch it for a few seconds, then go back to the vertical position, there is something like weak but visible blink of the screen, or a minimal colours change. It can be noticed in other apps, e.g. on facebook. Seems to me this is a software problem, beacause the same phenomenon doesn't exists when we set 60hz refresh. I would be very grateful if you can check it on your phones and give me a know about it.
I don't usually start videos in full screen mode and never noticed it but yeah definitely does a white flicker.
This is the highest brightness I could get it to do the flicker at.
Thank you for an answer. Personally i am able to see this flicker on a little bit higher screen brightness, but maybe its because im sitting in a dark room now. I was worried cause sometimes i see it during the normal usage of phone, and if only my OnePlus would be affected by this flickering i could still return it or exchange for a new one. It isnt very disturbing however interesting is whats cause of it.

this is usual for EVERY Oled screen and is called jelly effect...
You might want to try the DC dimming option in Settings->Utilities->OnePlus Laboratory.

From what i know jelly effect appears while we scrolling some content and propably that's not what i meant in my first post. Also flicker in my case is only visible on 90hz refresh rate.
I have galaxy s7e as a second phone and that effect doesn't happen there.

Thanks but i tried this option and it didn't do the job well.
Hi all, wondered if you could shed some light on this situation, I'm not sure if it's my device UK or a software issue. So when I select 120hz some apps are not silky smooth when scrolling like YouTube for example, it's not true 120hz it's as though it's on auto adjust, but it isn't, home screen and some apps are 120hz but some apps aren't is this a app issue or a phone issue? Has anyone else experienced this?
Not all applications support 120hz, Google Maps comes to mind, pretty sure that's capped at 60hz, I remember reading a article about YouTube not supporting 90hz on OnePlus devices, maybe the YouTube application is also called out at 60hz, I'd confidently say it's probably the app rather than the phone

Its app specific, some apps have no caps some do
I have this issue too.
It seems like whenever a video is playing in whatever app, it will switch to 60Hz.
In Reddit for example, scrolling is very laggy.
If your refresh rate mode is set to auto, ColorOS decides what refresh rate to run on based on a list found at /system/etc/refresh_rate_config.xml
If you set the refresh rate mode to 120Hz, though, it should run at that refresh rate in most apps.

Same here, is pretty annoying because takes away all the smoothness feeling, although sometimes it doesn't happen and keeps working at 120hz, so random... Just wondering did you find anyway to avoid this to happen?
Hello to everyone, new user of the Xperia 5ii and I have two problems
1)Has anyone observed a slightly change in the colour of the screen between 60 and 120hz? It's very obvious if you have dark mode and sit in a dark room. When you toggle the selection on and off, you can easily see it
2)I was trying to upload an Instagram story and the quality drops significantly. You literally can distinguish pixels. It's only on Instagram, on Facebook there was no problem. Also I tried to upload the photos from another device, and the same problem exists.
Any help is most welcome

This is true and if being honest, quite expected. It most noticable when the screen brightness is somewhere 5-20%. You can clearly see it when toggling the 60 or 120hz. The panel itself is great, many oled defects are gone or very minimal. This green tint issue is quite common on other 120hz panels too (mostly Samsung made). That might also be one reason why the new Iphone 12 phones don't have 120hz, too much quality problems.
So yes, there is a green tint. But luckily it is very minor and only on certain screen brightness. Haven't noticed it when actually using the phone.
Not sure if this count as a defect to get a replacement (the replacement would probably have the same issue).
Attached few photos I took.
I have the same issue in low-brightness and 120Hz activated
Hey guys,
The screen tint on my 7 Pro is changing in certain apps after the screen has not been touched for a few seconds. The tint goes to a slightly darker, cooler tint, and goes back to a warmer, greenish tint when the screen is touched again. This has happened only in Telegram and YouTube so far, both in dark mode. It has not happened in any other apps or the launcher.
This is noticeable in all display calibrations. It is most noticeable when night mode is on.
Interesting to note that this does not happen in older versions of YouTube, only the newer ones with the line art icons.
DC dimming does not help with the issue.
Important info:
OxygenOS 10.3.6.GM21AA
GM1917
YouTube version 15.45.34
Telegram version 7.2.1
Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

I think it's because of the screen refresh rate changing to 60Hz from 90Hz.

Thank you so much, that does seem to be the issue. Used this guide to force 90 Hz. I did test with 60hz beforehand and there was no display tint shift, but forgot to mention it in the OP.
I've noticed that every time on turn my screen off and AOD appears, after 3 seconds it flickers quickly once time. Has anyone else noticed this? It's very annoying and happens every single time. On reddit someone mentioned it's due to the screen changing refresh rate, but when I forced my screen down to 60hz in the settings it did the same thing.

I think it's because if changes to 10 Hz.
My 6 Pro did this too.

I'm surprised there was no way for Google to make it less obvious, to make it blend a bit better. Seems lazy coding on their part.
