Notification menu 'bug' after 1.28.

I couldn't find the original thread about this, so I'm making a new one
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71410276/VIDEO0004.3gp
Theres a video where i film after the 1.28 patch, and as you can see the top isnt making that weird thing anymore, Its just the screen flickering or how i should call it.
You barely see it, but you can see in the video that theres something happening when im moving up and down.

i think the problem is by the ambient light sensor beside the hTC logo
so when your fingertip pass thru the sensor, the light enter reduce so it become brighter...

What is an ambient light sensor on a monitor?
It Is A Sensor That Detect Light So If Its Dark Your Screen Monitor Brightness Will dim down so you're not looking at one source of extreme bright light, When Its Bright The Screen Monitor Will go up to compensate for the extra light around you so you can still see the monitor comfortably

No, that's not it. It's a software bug, the fixed it just a little. It's probably driver problems still. If it was the light sensor it would just dim, not blink.

still the bug is there.. but less than before.. mine screen flickers (not the screen flicking bug) when the bug hits.. just in an instance.. and distorted the date a little than before.. updated to 1.28.415.9 Arabic version

Well mine still makes the thing where everything in the bar gets all blurry.
Just not as often.
So the bug is still there but they sure did something to improve it
Edit: yeah ayan15 did a good description of my bug

[Q] screen issue

I recently created a topic about my hox because it sometimes shuts down and it has problems with the battery, i'm going to send it to repair, but before i'd like to know if i'm the only one having this problem:
during the transitions between the pages of the home screen i can see, in the case of the black textured background, some strange shades of yellowish color (really hardly visible), while with the black and white htc background the issue is really annoing, i can see the screen "blinking" in some areas, i don't know how to describe it, a sort of soft color flickering wich creates a strange effect. With other backgrounds there are no problems... should i report this problem too or is it a sense common problem? thank you...

Screen flicker test

Hello. Since getting my new HTC M8 the other day I noticed that the screen can flicker for a fraction of a second when in the setting menu.
The issue really comes to light when you use a screen filter, I use the app that is literally called screen filter. If you set the app to about 20% and then you go into the settings menu you start seeing microsecond white flashes when backing out of and entering new menus.
Does anyone else experience screen flicker on there M8. I like to know if its my phone thats the problem or the screen filter app. If someone wouldnt mind testing my steps above out, it also helps if you have the screen filter on in a dark room as the flashes become even more pronounced.
Thanks

[Q] Low brightness leads to greenish screen (8.4)

Hello,
I have found similar threads, but nothing seems to fit for my problem. If there is a thread for this topic, I hope the admins can move this to it.
I bought my Tab S 8.4 two days ago and was very happy with it (except the Play Store error DF BPA-30, which disappeared by now). The problem appears when I use the tab in the dark, after the second night I finally found out why: When the brightness goes below ~15 percent (automatically or manually) the display gets a dark-greenish tone. Full black and other strong colours don't seem to be affected.
A good example is a game I am playing: The red/blue/violet "nebula" turns into a dark green mass as well as the row at the top of the left. When I move around, the green mass "wobbles" too.

Is this normal?
Thanks for your advice!

I don't know if it's normal but I got the same thing. Since I keep my brightness low due to my sensitive eyes, I see it all the time. I have a 10.5 btw.
I haven't posted about it because I figure I may be more sensitive than other people.
Try this: if you have an LCD tablet or phone, place it next to the S on a table in a room with light. Turn OFF both screens. Move around so you are looking at them from different angles. With mine , about 45 degrees off axis, the S screen is clearly tinted a deep green (or if you prefer, the light reflected from the screen is green.) The other screen is black.

Same problem here too...

In my Tab S 8.4, the problem starts only when i shut down or restart the tab... On starting, the Samsung logo doesn't appear on welcome screen and then the display shows a homogeneous greenish hue, more identifiable in low brightness and auto brightness activated devices.. After a few restarts or shutting down the device for 5-6hrs, the display becomes normal on restarting... Interestingly, if you take a screenshot of the greenish display, the picture is perfectly normal when viewed in a normal device or laptop, thus making me believe it to be a display problem, most probably a manufacturing problem...

Question Screen issue or software bug?

Hi!
I have received my Red Magic 8 Pro and immediately noticed something. The selfie camera is visible if the background behind it is simple. For example just a simple white or gray background. Depending on movie sometimes it also becomes visible under cartoons like Rick and Morty, however during normal movie I cant see it.
Is this normal for this phone?
Also, the software which handles the pixels in front of the camera sometimes can become bugged and a visible line is displayed. I can reproduce this issue by pulling down the notification bar and holding it at 1 spot.
Does everyone experience these issues ?

That's normal, especially if the screen is on 120Hz, and at low brightness. It's the so-called green tint issue.
