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.
I have read articles that said using DC brightness on OLED/AMOLED screens can effect colors, particularly at low brightness. How are people finding it? I dont really care if it makes colours "less accurate" as long as they dont look weird
Looks fine to me. Barely can tell the difference.
Working well as described, couldn't tell the difference.
Can someone try to port it to OnePlus 3 / 3t?..

What makes you think the 3 / 3T screen is capable of DC dimming? Can every AMOLED screen support it?
First off, I don't notice any flickering when the screen brightness is low so maybe DC dimming isn't for me. I'm sure someone with a fancy color monitor device will probably post a technical breakdown of how it affects the screen, but I don't see any difference except in one scenario.
In bed I tend to set the brightness settings on the lowest and then turn on nightmode to dim the screen even further. If you have small white text with a black background such as the settings menu or Youtube in dark mode, some of the text fades into the blackness and is unreadable. Images with dark colors or areas will look weird because you won't be able to distinguish them apart.
I tried to take pictures to show a comparison, but the screen is so dim that it doesn't work.
Hello, i'm happy with everything on the phone, except for the camera, I have two main issues:
On HDR auto, when it enables HDR some times the colours are just off, too oversaturated or ghosting issues regarding colours. I more or less fix this using the GCam.
On some interior scenarios with certain types of lights, the image captured is just yellowish, but changing cameras or moving a little bit the colour returns to a normal white... This is not happening on a Oneplus Nord, picture is just much better. Do you know if this is a normal thing to be happening?
Hey guys,
I have bought oneplus 8t after it's launch and never had seen this issue before. From today onwards I'm seeing screen flickering on the lock screen. I might have missed this before or this is just in my device. I usually put dark wall on the lock screen. Yesterday I changed that to a bright one. The flickering is visible when the screen brightness is really low and screen is turned on and the first time is really bad, it is taking time to adjust and the following takes less time to adjust.
Please let me know if this is a rare care in my device or this is happening to everyone.
Edit - I'm also noticing weird color shift in chrome browser. White to warm white color
Color shift in chrome was due to a chrome flag, disabling it fixed that one.
MY S22 ULTRA, 5 months old, began 48 hours ago to show the background of the lock screen (active display with a black background, in a very oscillating dark green color.
It only happens when the active display is activated, and sometimes inside with a dark background when it tries to adapt the brightness to the environment, it occurs as a kind of almost imperceptible flickering.
Internally the navigation, videos, photos and others are all perfect.
Things I have already tried:
Wipe Cache
Toggle between all screen resolutions and display options etc etc
With the mobile turned off while charging, if I press the power button to see the percentage of charge, that green is also seen.
I was reading that it may be a screen failure, but I still refuse to leave the phone in repair (150GB of internal information already copied), I don't know whether to wait for an update or what else to try.
Any suggestion?
Sorry for my english
I don't have answers for your issue, but I had exactly the same issue. I damaged my screen and it started appearing right after the damage to the screen. I don't use AOD, but mine did the same thing when it was put on charge.... no black screen, just the weird green. I turned off adaptive display and it disappeared. Had 2 updates since then and put back adaptive display and now the green is still gone. Not sure if was an update or the adaptive display change that fixed the issue

I had that problem in my note 8, had to send it to warranty to replace the display circuit and the display because of burn in pixels.

Can it get worse or will it always stay like this?
I just replaced the screen protector and it's still the same sometimes, not always, it seems to improve things but it only appears if I force the situation with dark environments.
How do you explain if it was a screen problem, within the android there is no display problem in photos, videos etc etc
It only affects the active display and while the adaptive display is active, that's why I don't want to send it to warranty so soon, I even hope that with Android 13 it will be solved!
To those who had to change the screen, did it come under warranty and the fault has been recognized without having to pay anything?
Obviously, if it were the screen, it would have to be some sensor or sector of the screen that only acts under certain conditions and I don't know at the hardware level what it could be, if any sensor or sector of the screen is internally damaged, it is very strange.
Thanks for answering.

It was everything free, they replace the display circuit controler, the display and battery (mandatory on note 8 if you replace the display they replace also the battery).
The problem was stable, no true black, allways greenish, sometimes flick and turned true black for couple of seconds and returned to that greenish black. Was horrible, my luck was i had 24 months of warrany and this happend on my 22th month!
Hi, I have same problem for 2 weeks now. Seems to occur when in low light placed and adaptive brightness is on. Did you find solution?
