Graphical glitches in browser - HTC One X

Has anyone else spotted graphical glitches in the address bar when pages are loading. The letters disappear and are replaced with a garbled mixture of green and black pixels at the left of the screen.

My device does similar but with a few white pixels and is on anything that is using the GPU, so basically everything lol. Might be your phone as I haven't found anyone with my issue

Yeah I've had this on the stock browser, the words go all distorted for a few seconds. I guess its a bug within the internet app as its only happened on the browser for me.

As long as its not just me, I feel a bit more comfortable. Doesn't bother me I would just be worried that it is indicative of an underlying graphics problem

I get the exact same thing...more of a visual nuisance than anything else really...I don't let that bother me as much as the fact that WiFi at home stops working randomly with full bars and connection status showing as Good...

Happened to me a couple of times. Only happens with stock browser. I use chrome so not a big issue.

indeed, why not try a different browser like Dolphin HD or Chrome? Dolphin has some serious speed improvements in its current beta, and thus soon in its official update. Video comparison: http://lifehacker.com/5919626/dolphin-browser-gets-even-faster-is-still-the-best-browser-on-android

Browser doesn't auto flow text

When using the browser and I pinch to zoom in the text does not auto flow, does anyone else get this or know how to fix it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
are you referring to text wrapping?
Yeah that's right doesn't wrap the text. I was wondering if it might be something to do with changes Orange make to their ROMs

I have noticed that pinch to zoom, no wrap of text, double tap to zoom, wrap.
This is my first Android phone so I am not sure if this right or wrong?

Is your Desire generic or is it branded to a network?
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
My Desire is on Orange. Could this be an issue?
Not sure, but I am thinking it could be something they've done to customise the ROM that's broken it.
Going to try and flashing a generic ROM and see where that gets me.

Pinch to zoom works fine here, T-mobile branded
On T-mobile, that works on and off for me, but more so than not.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I think some webpages are coded in a way that doesn't play nice with the reflowing, but as a general rule its excellent.
Works fine for me on unbranded, as long as the page has finished loading.
It is something broken in the Orange ROM, just flashed mine to the generic one and it works fine now
I can confirm that I've seen this behaviour on a friend's Orange branded Desire (french orange).
Auto flowing only happens when he uses double tap but not with the pinch to zoom.
GG orange !
I've also noticed this on my Orange phone.
Ditto. Very annoying.
Works fine for me on a Vodafone firmware. However I notice sometimes that when it auto flows it stops in a position with the text just a little bit off the right of the screen sometimes, and I have to manually move left to center it on the screen again.
Does this happen for anyone else? It's not all the time only occasionally but I've not managed to figure out what seems to be causing it; perhaps its to do with the particular website but not sure.
I think its a problem with Orange only, just bought a black version desire have the same issue. Fools at orange love screwing their customers. Glad I left orange.
I have this problem when viewing listings on the eBay uk website but not on any other site funnily enough.

How to fix pink pixels

I had a pink line running up and down my screen on the right side which was awful on white screens. I noticed a lot of people have also been complaining of pink blotches or something of the sort.
I did a little something most commonly used on TV.
go to dialer and press
*#0*#
it'll take you to a test screen.
press on red, blue, green on the top and see which pixels need to be re learned.
keep the phone on each of the 3 color screens for a few minutes each.
it should start to fade the pink away
if it doesn't, repeat.
normally it's the red where the pixels are most noticeably out on.
give the process and repetition some time. it should seriously help get your pink screens right again!
my pink line is gone!

Ive got a pinkish hue across the bottom. and this doesnt appear to be working on cyanogenmod for me ("Connection problem or invalid MMI code")
Is there any difference to just leaving a full screen pure red, pure green, or pure blue (255,0,0 , 0,255,0 , 0,0,255) image on the screen, or does it do some fancier other things in the background?
Alternatively, is this hardware or software based fixing/learning? If I revert to stock, run this, then return to cyanogenmod will it still be fixed?

Just flash a Stock Based ROM (much easier then Odin) and then run the codes. Yes it should fix it when you flash back to CM hoping that this fix is a true fix. I am also guessing that the codes do a little more than just holding a colored image on the screen. Might be wrong on that but who knows.
It's proprietary Samsung service mode. Only works on touchwiz roms

Glad to hear you were able to fix the issue! I had a vertical pixel width line on the first gs4 I got before I exchanged it. Although I am pretty sure that mine was a hardware problem because it was always there, even when in the bootloader and startup animations.

yeah so was mine. this is a lot like the color code pixel reset on plasma and LCD TVs.
and yes it must be touchwiz because it's a code for that software. I am not sure if Cm has one yet

pink pixel when you get a screen problem then you just think its display problem and change the display with same model so you can solve pink pixel.

Try this: Boot your Nexus 7 2013 in landscape with the volume buttons facing down.

Yes, just as the lock screen comes up, but then it seems fine. Strange.
BS...
u mean with the screen facing the ground? or the volume buttons near the ground, im confused, maybe a pic/vid would help
The launcher FC'd but after acknowledging the event everything is fine.
A video showing the issue being reproduced may be useful so we can identify it.
The second time I tried this I noticed when the glowing x was about to be replaced with the lock screen the x dropped to the bottom center of the display, as if the height on the display was two times the actual size.

I got the glitch, but it didn't really seem to affect anything on mine. It straightened itself out almost immediately and the normal lock screen came up.
I noticed this glitch today, but like the others said it doesn't really matter much since it corrects itself right away.
I wouldn't call it a "glitch", more like an annoyance, that happens to the Nexus 7(2012) as well. The bootanimation/logo is supposed to be portrait, but as the tablet start up it tries to move to landscape mode, but since it's a portrait image it moves that way, making it look like something's wrong but it's not. You can change the lockscreen to not rotate and stay in portrait or don't hold it landscape while it boots up, in that way you won't see it again.
Edit: Also happens to the brightness level, it's just the tablet starting up.

[Q] Dead pixel..? Or not.

Hey guys. Been having my M8 for almost a month now and I just realised 2 dead pixels about 2 weeks after use. So I did a little bit of Googling to see if anyone else was facing this issue and found that there's some kind of fix by downloading Dead Pixel Detector / Fix apps. Problem now is, I can't see the 2 dead pixels when using the coloured screen (tried all the colours) provided by the apps but I can still see it when using the phone as per normal on some dark backgrounds. So I'm not sure if this is really a case of dead pixels or.. something else.
[Edit]
Oh btw the reason why I'm asking is because I see some people claiming they managed to fix the dead pixels by using these apps so if I could fix mine, then I wouldn't have to send it in for repair

Stuck pixels constantly show 1 color, and you can try to fix them with the app.
Dead pixels are white and there's usually nothing you can do about it.

Ahh.. So I guess mine are stuck pixels then. Cuz one of them is always green and the other is always red. So I guess it's safe to say they're not dead pixels then.
Then that brings the other issue of not being able to detect these pixels using the app but still able to see them while using the phone normally.. Any advice?
Run the app for a long time, it might unstuck them.

Why is the screen smaller than for instance Nexus 5X?

I am coming from a Nexus 5X device and just wondering about something. It seems that the display on my HTC 10 is conceived as smaller than my previous Nexus 5X despite the fact that the resolution is larger on the HTC 10, why is that? What am I missing?
I have a webpage I go to that has a table. On my Nexus 5X when I rotate to landscape, the table shows as as a whole table (with all the coloums in one row). But on the HTC 10 I get the same look on the table in landscape as in portrait, i.e. one column pr row.

What browser are you using, I don't have that issue, its scales just fine in landscape using Chrome and CM Browser.
I have tried 3 different browsers but the problem isn't scaling but that the server/client chooses "wrong" view in the responsive CSS...

I just tried Craigslist main page. It scales large in landscape and im able to pinch to see entire page( minus scrolling)
I just don't see what's the difference between this phone and my old Nexus 5X, if anything it should be there other way around.. The site is bane.kappif.no

I think the screen is bigger than my 5x because of no softkeys taking up room in screen.
Much Better i think
