Hi guys, i'm new here. I've actually done some searching but can't find anything related to my problem.
My brightness is set to auto. But at least once a day, i would notice that my screen is too bright. So i check my settings to see that brightness is on full.
So i change it back to auto, but after some time or the next day, it happens again.
It just irritates me because i set it to auto but the setting somehow disengages.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Never had this problem. What is your software version?

I have exactly the same issue. Also on 1.28

That's strange! I am also on 1.28 and never had this problem in any of my one x (I own 2 devices). If your bootloader is unlocked you could try flashing a custom rom. your problem might be gone. good luck.
I've had this a few times wondering ky my screen brightness isn't changing but since being on custom ROM I haven't has this issue.

Hi all.
I'm reading a lot about 'screen flicker'. But it seems people are using this to describe a few different faults.
I've noticed that my one x backlight flickers when in auto brightness mode. But it only does it under artificial light. Under natural light it's totally fine.
If I turn off Auto brightness, it is completely fine also, regardless of what level I set the brightness to.
It's almost as if the software isn't filtering the auto brightness sensor output enough and trying to respond instantaneously to even the slightest light change, giving the impression of a flicker.
Who else has this issue specifically?
It looks to me like a software issue, but I only have 3 days left in my return for refund peiod and I'm not sure what the best option is.
Cheers.
EDIT: On to my 10th handset now with the same issue and just about ready to give up, but have noticed that the flicker seems to be worse when the CPU is coming on and off heavy load.
Can someone with Root and SETCPU installed please try different governers to see if they make any difference to this issue? I don't wan to root this phone to try it myself as I may end up returning it. Thanks!

Oh well return it, and buy a new one thats probably the best option, i ordered mine yesterday, and ill do the same in 2 weeks if it have issues
Yeah I'm thinking that might be the best option. It's just that it seems to be a Software issue to me.
Anyone upgraded to 1.28 and seen this specific problem (not the screen jumping and flickering pixels) go away?

I've upgraded to 1.28 and still have the flickering problem. I would love to be able to believe its software and its going to get fixed with an OTA, but at the moment everyone is simply uncertain as to what the future holds.
HTC advices anyone with a flickering screen to go to your carrier and ask for a replacement

On to my 10th handset with auto-brightness flicker now. At what point should i jsut give up? lol
It seems to be somehow related to CPU load also as I'm noticing the flicker is far worse when the cpu is changing power states.
Can someone with root try a different governer for the CPU and see if that changes the flicker at all?
BUMP. I'd be really great if someone rooted could test this theory!
..
I really cant help but ill tell my experience with my onex for the past two or three weeks.
I had the flickering screen twice,
1. random on the notification bar.
2. I was taking photos and got the CPU loaded because I was shooting too many pics. the bottom side of the screen was flickering.
anyway, I notice that the flickering only happend when the auto screen rotate is enabled.
Thanks for the reply, but I think you're talking about a different flicker. I'm talking about the back-light flicker when Auto Brightness is enabled. Not the LCD panel flicker.
The display of the phone just sits at the lowest brightness.
Automatic brightness is not working and on a white background can be seen flickering.
I changed to lcd with new one but the problem remained.
The new screen is reacts the same way.
Аnyone encountered a similar problem?
The same here

Hi folks,
I am facing the same problem, does anyone know anything about it?
Thanks.
Have you tried doing this?
Thanks for your help.
In fact I have an Desire HD and is running stock ROM, I have tested on different LCDs but still the same: low dimm, luminosity sensor not working, I tried but the brightness can not be adjusted, not change at all.
I am suspecting that might be a logic board problem, but I am not sure, this is not software for sure.
I have tried 4 displays and the problem is not solved.

Hi guys. I've had this problem for some weeks now, and it's bothering me cause i didn't have this problem one i bought my one X.
When i go into and out of the camera app, the screen brightness stays set at a very high level and then drops to the brightness level i have selected. And don't even have the auto brightness on...
Does someone know how to help me? Thanks:good:

Its this way on every HTC device, its just the autobrightness readjusting
Well the camera app forces 100% brightness. Once you exit the asp it slowly returns to your normal selected value

Hi there, does anyone else experience screen flicker after latest update? I have never had it before, but after updating it does it now and then. Is there any easy fix for it?

Hi!
I experienced flicker after the update. After an factory reset and an battery charge it was gone. Now there's none. Maybe not an easy fix but worked for me!

Grey background, white background, under lamp, in the dark. Depends, but if you don't have it or don't see it do not try to find it.
It's a big issue many threads, long threads, search but rather don't.

As i never had any flickering, i could presume it is very deep hardware fault and not a software issue, should be repaired by warranty

Uf lets do not get this down this road again....
Please do not mention hardware fault again....It has nothing to do with this matter....
It might be a hw fault, malfunction, etc. But the ota before this .11 fought against it. Meaning the flickering was minimal or gone for most of us.
Now the technical description I do not know. But in more informed threads there was written that the kernel needs time to adapt to make the flickering go away. And most ppl that had flicker pre .11 were helped in matter of hours or days.
So I believe the flickering will be gone also after some usage. Lets get back to this in few days.
And guys who have nothing better to do as to say, it might be a hardware issue, please dont. I would like if only ppl that know what the flickering is about would write in this thread.
So if you never had it, dont have it now. Please ignore this thread ok?
Thank you
Dont wanna sound arrogant or condescending Raider, but I had fights about this already in custom rom threads. I do not wanna go there again. Sorry.
Why we cant see guy problem s profile? 4 th guy with problem, but dont know his profile, I mean messeges.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod
So 10 days after the update, even though I had few reflashes, so maybe that doesnt help much, but still the flickering is still there.
Anyone else still has flickering now after a longer 4.0.4 usage and did it get better for some?
I had this before the update, then updated and waited 3 days on full brightness (i.read it has to settle with voltage or some stuff). Maybe you could try having it on full brightness? Not saying it will work & believe me, I understand your pain! Hope something works for you soon!
Keep us updated!

My HTC One X screen flickers only when on auto-brightness
Hi,
What do you mean exactly with 'screen-flicker' issues?
Different people use this description for some very different screen issues,
so I don't know if yours is severely bad or just minor...
I personally did experience some light screen flicker when the display is on auto-brightness,
the screen then has short periods where it quickly switches its brightness, and I assumed this
was normal because it's trying to adjust the brightness to the environment lighting.
This effect is easily noticed when scrolling the settings screen and is completely gone
when I deactivate auto-brightness.
maybe this can be helpful...

I have the same thing going on.. it's like the backlight voltage is going up and down real fast.. after reading tons of topics on this matter I guess a lot of you guys are experiencing it.. so where is the official statement from HTC that the update should take up to two weeks to work for the screen???

Just off with HTC after the update last week. (Stock phone not rooted) My One X has been freezing especially on Facebook and twice a day rebooting itself. Slight flickering when scrolling..All errors were logged. Soft reset and Hard reset carried out several times, but no improvement.
HTC have put a service call on it and collecting the phone Thursday.

Try flashing the RUU (this is the first thing HTC will do). It will wipe your phone, so back up. But test it before restoring.
Mine seems only to be flickering with Sense Launcher. No flickering with Nova Launcher. AND Nova is even smoother.

Can someone explain, what this flickering is? It's not similar to the 'Recent Apps'/Grey Colour is it?
I purchased a brand new HOX yesterday which had a screen flicker. The flicker was only noticed on white.
I turned the phone on and was pushed 3 software updates, one after another and thought that after the updates the screen flicker would be solved. I ended up with the 4.0.4 update and the screen flicker was still there. I did a full factory reset and the screen flicker seems to have gone.
I will keep my eye on it, because if needed I can return it for a replacement within 30 days.
Has a factory reset worked for anyone else after updating to 4.0.4?

Not that I know of. I mean that a factory reset helps.
After it was flickering for me. I decided to go and test a custom kernel. Before the only reason I couldn't go with a custom kernel was the flickering. Only on stock it didn't flicker for me.
So as it was flickering I tried faux again, and now I do not notice it anymore.
Maybe it needed time to settle, maybe the UV helped? Or that I shutdown the capacitive buttons lights? I do not know...
But it can also be the change of scenery. As I was before on another continent
you need to wait till the update settles...

Hi all again, I have an issue that I wrote in my last too but seems like I have to make a new one for it.
And the problem is my screen brightness does not work when I turn off the auto-brightness. The screen still has auto brightness however I have turned that off. So everytime I change the brightness to a lower one the screen will get darker, until I turn on the screen again, then the its on auto-brightness again. However in the menu it shows that auto-brightness is still disabled. How can I fix this issue?

omg why do you open extra a new thread for this ._. ...go to settings then about and then software-information it must be the second last thing...there you can see if you have a custom rom or official update...and if it isn't working then just root your phone and install a custom rom...but why do you open a new thread...-.- you also could just ask me or so per pm ...always people are opening more and more thread ...
It says HTCExtension_Sense45_1, what do i do now?

I have the exact same problem... mine is combined with a screen flickering. is your backlight flickering aswell? maybe those are two seperate things but I don't know..
Anyone has a fix for this? which version should we flash?
mine is also
HTCExtension_Sense45_1
but
Software#:
3.14.207.27
and Kernel:
3.1.10-g946d78d
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
any advice would be greatly apprechiated
Oh I just saw that your device goes back to automatic... mine will stay at whatever I put it. It will only have no effect as it is still at minimum brightness
you are all still on official ota? not custom rom? if on official rom/ota try hardreset/factory reset...you can go in settings then there is an option for hardreset or so ...sry don't know the english word forgot it it's somewhere by language etc ...there you can do a reset so that all will be again to full stock like you bought it ...just try out...
and that with htc extension we don't need just software number like 3.14
Thanks,already did that. No change. I am thinking about flashin another kernel /rom. Could that help? Which one would you recommend to try?
thanks again
