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.

Recently my screen has started developing strange shadows of apps that i use for longer time, like browsers, keyboard etc.
Even youtube after using for more than an hour or so give shadows on screen.
The issue is more persistent with the keyboard, as i am a heavy internet user (7-8 hrs online) and most of the time keyboard stays on the screen, the screen is showing me a persistent shadow of keyboard, initially just after using it for more than an hour the shadow is very clear and it stays even in the brightest apps and screens , later after sometime it starts to fade but never really goes away, its there always faintly.
What should I do?
Attached screenshots but i don't know if you guys can see them or not.
Edit : its on the screen (hardware)as screenshots don't have shadows, don't know if my screen is faulty
Screenshots are no good, take a picture of the physical phone screen instead.
Screen Burn-in Tool could help, it's designed for AMOLED, but it might end up having the same effect, and there should be no risk (except maybe some wasted time ).

Thanks but i think its better to get the screen replaced because the burn-in tool is a temporary solution, it again comes up after few hours and usually goes away in the morning as i don't use phone at night..
Also screen flickering is visible on very close inspection of some dark screens and checkered wallpapers
Hi, I pick up my phone to check the time; i.e the time appears for a few seconds on the lock screen then screen turns off. I am using one of the round clock-face screens.
Sometimes (not always) when the screen is switching off, some of the content from my home screen flickers on screen for a fraction of a second (notification icons, the digital clock and something at the bottom), as white text on the black background. It's not catastrophic but it is enough of a flicker on the screen so catch my eye and make me look over at the phone.
Has anyone else seen this and/or know how to fix it?
Mine does it too, and I don't think there's anything we can do about it.
Which update are you running (1.15 or 1.21)?
I used to noticed a slight flicker on 1.15 not to the extent that youre describing, but it went away on 1.21.

I'm running 1.25.400.3.
It seems to be doing it less now, maybe only 1 in 5 times. I haven't changed anything (been running that version since I first got the phone last week).
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.

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
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?
