the other day my phone started showing wierd colors on some of the graphics, like a little red or blue line on the edge of some graphics. it seems to show where something is overtop(not opaque) of something else. it also shows sometimes on the edge of a color change.
anyone ever seen this or is there some display setting other than brightness?
if its important im running the cm10 unoffical latest & i did try a different rom(root box) just to see if it was a rom thing w/ no luck

Hey guys - anyone else been getting screen flickering on their HOX-quadcore?
Only seems to happen in certain situations, but normally when a dialogue box is open over top of a white background does it do it.. But it doesn't ALWAYS do it either... Seems to be based on the background lighting in the room?
Also seems quite prominent under Fluro-tube lights.
Other than this one thing - i freakin LOVE this phone

Are you serious?! There are already 2 major threads about it. For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617009&highlight=screen+flicker
You didn't search did you ?
Anyone else has the display darker, where they have or had the 3-dot menu bar ?
I noticed this earlier, but didn't pay attention to it. But the part to the softkeys is visibly darker, as the part next to the HTC logo.
When using gmail for example, or just the dead pixel test on white. I can see that its not even.
Normal, lightning issue, faulty device? Or has it something to do with the soft keys?
Visibly darker means I can see it. But I am also able to spot pentile matrix miles away. So the average person might not see it.
Not sure I can capture it on pictures as well. Will try maybe later.
Which rom are you currently using? I havent noticed anything on CM10 or ViperX.

Am stock, but I noticed this as I bought it few days-weeks after. Even as I had the 3 dot (now rooted with 3 dot fix ) is visible more.
I do not think its a ROM or maybe even SW issue. Seems to me like the display just isn't evenly led.
Hello!
I recently got the Arc S and I love it, but there's something about the screen that freaks me out. It's hard to describe, but let me try.
When I scroll through menus, objects get darker while they move. Most notibly when there's white text on black background. I don't know many of you know it, but it's like applying the "inner shadow" filter to the fonts in photoshop.
I made a video to demonstrate that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVRTmsr6Ppg
Hopefully you can see the effect on the text, but it's very noticable that the lines between the items disappear while scrolling.
While on a grey background, text appears yellowish while scrolling.
I get a similar effect when I scroll through pictures.
Other than that, the screen is perfectly fine. I have a Neo V here with the same rom and kernel and there is nothing like that.
Or is this just normal screen behaviour I have to get used to?
What rom are you on?
Sent from my LT15i using birds.
if you look clearly at the screen, it is not getting darker! just the lines between the selectable touch fields are getting darker. dont know why but this problem is on all roms i have tested. it happens at small text and very small lines (1-2 pixel lines i think)
@TheHaso
Super Jelly Bean, Slim Bean, Ultimate HD.. It doesn't seem to matter.
@om22
So you think this is a software issue?
I noticed when I scroll through small turqoise text, it clearly gets darker and shifts into a more blue-ish tone.

no i think this is normal on tn-panel lcd screens (our arc/s). just a dark blurring effect i think.
If you want to get some information about TN displays vs IPS etc just follow the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_display#Twisted_nematic_.28TN.29
it's normal. only the lines get darker and not the text. this is how android makes it. try to increase the brightness and you will see that the lines gets a little darker.
But this effect does not happen at all on the Neo V.
And of course the text is getting darker, too. As I said, on black background a turquoise text shifts to blue while scrolling.

maybe because the neo v has built in another display? Our display also is very blurry in my opinion (high response time)
Hi forums,
TL;DR: Could turning up the color-settings in TricksterMOD cause burn-ins?
I recently got my GNex and after fixing the SIM-tray making the phone usable again I of course unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROMs and Kernels (atm CM10.2 latest nightly + Franco kernel) and I use TricksterMOD to make some specific settings (like turning FSync off) and I also found Settings for screen colors, now what I did is just turn those sliders up all the way and set all other options (like Contrast and Gamma) to 0 (as seen on the attatchment), now I have an extremely vibrant and colorful display without this annoying blue-tone everywhere, even whites look more natural now but I've seen some AMOLED-Phones (specifically 2 GS2s from friends) that have things like the Status Bar or the keyboard burned in into the Display and now I worry that that could maybe happen to my Phone as well because of the settings.
I'd like to know your experience and if you think that that's possible, if so I'll turn them down even though I really really love this display now, it's literally the best display I've ever owned (and I have two IPS Monitors in front of me right now)
I'm using a completely black theme over most of the Phone (black status bar of course, black keyboard, black menu-elements, dark backgrounds, saves Battery and looks insanely awesome on this display) that should prevent burn in's from for example the keyboard since black pixels are not lit, but I want to know if it's more likely if the display is brighter due to the settings.
Sry for this long post but you've got the short version at the top if you don't want to read everything
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Greetings from Germany.
So i just picked up a G3 today and there's one thing that is bothering me.
All the outlines of icons / text seem to have a minuscule but detectable contrasting outline around them. It's hard to describe and kind of nitpicking, but my eyes do see it especially with text overlayed on a color or image background. It's almost like a tiny oversharpening effect and I've never seen it on other phones before. What is this? Is it due the layout of the subpixels? Also I noticed the color balance is somewhat yellowish. Is there a way to fix these problems? perhaps through custom roms? Would scaling down the resolution to 1080p make a difference.
Detailed example: I put my new G3 and Asus zenfone 2 side by side, and looked at their chrome icons (the exact same icons) through a magnifying glass. On the zenfone's display the line separating green and red in the icon transitions smoothly and normally- from green to red. But sure enough, on the G3, the magnifying glass reveals a tiny whitish line between the green and red areas! Therefore the change in color does not transition smoothly, which is what my eyes are picking up on. How to fix this problem?
If this is just inherent to the display itself I may consider picking up a Oneplus X instead, as it is somewhat irritating for my eyes especially when reading text.
This phone has a problem with oversharpening most custom roms have it fixed a lot of people complained about it u can reduce screen to 1080 but then u take away from the beuty of the screen if u decide to keep it root it then use a cust rom and itll be all good
If u have custom recovery then u can flash oversharpning fix mod.
