I've just switched on my Nexus 7 2013 and noticed the screen flickering. I'm quite sensitive to flickering screens (my wife can't actually see it) but it's definitely there and it wasn't before. I've read a little about screen flickering (low brightness, possibly wifi related) but I'm not sure my symptoms are the same, which is odd. In fact the main reproduction suggested (< 30% brightness and opening Google Maps) is fine for me.
To reproduce my issue I need to have 2 main things:
1) The brightness needs to be quite high
2) Certain colors need to be present on screen
I've done the following to try and fix the issue but none of them seemed to make any difference:
1) Disabling WiFi
2) Reboot
3) Plug in the charger (I normally use wireless charging so it hadn't been grounded for a while)
4) Try rebooting with the charger plugged in
5) Factory reset
6) Taking off the Back
I should add that I'm using stock Android (without root) 6.0.1
So some of the things I've noticed that flicker quite badly:
1) The grey keyboard overlay sitting over a white background (e.g. When chrome's open but you've not yet visited a page).

2) Some colours (e.g. in the picture of green images, the top right green flickers quite a bit, regardless of where it is on screen. If I rotate to landscape the flickering moves).
3) Some greys on websites (e.g. in the TestCafe link only the grey bar flickers)
Has anyone else come across this, or know of any other posts addressing this sort of issue?

Image is quite self explanatory.
Today was traveling and using a phone as always and got a phone call - and apparently the screen was like this.
Anyone experienced this, or managed to replace the display (price?) especially in Poland?
Phone bought in 2011.01.03, so it died 5 months after warranty expiration
Symptoms:
White lines that are vertical in portrait mode.
They do not rotate on screen position change.
Yet they start from black and fade in from black to the random brightness after a while if the creen is used (otherwise they dim out).
All other phone features work - for example I was able to answer the call swiping a finger as usual
Battery pull - the issue perists.
Debugging disabled, and I wait for screen from SlimRom to get the idea what parts of the sceen to press to:
1. unlock sim card
2. unlock pattern lock
3. enable developer mode (or start Airdoid or adb)
Thanks in advance for any info, topic will be updated later on.
I'm wondering about first wipig the phone and then fixind the screen.
Also thinking about getting some replacement (sth like nexus 4 but with external sd, or very beefy internal).
If the problem persists when in bootloder mode or recovery its going to be a hardware fault, and almost for sure you need to replace LCD, second mostly likely the main flex cable.
Know nothing about Poland but the repair should take 20 min for the experienced and an hour for a novice

The problem was with the display, not the tape. More info to come.
How much cost a new display in germany?
no idea, I'm not from Germany.
Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all
I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!
I know basically an burn in isn't good, but how much do people have before they've return the phone. I've had the XL 13 days today, and wondering if I should contact Google about the amount of burn I can see in my phone. I keep the brightness on my phone at 50% all the time and seems like a good amount of burn for being at 50% all the time.
Took a couple pics on a grey background, hopefully it visible. I looked on a couple other phones and I can see it in the pics moving the screen side to side a bit helps notice it, depending on the phone.

Even if I had that burn in it wouldn't bother me but when I do the burn in test I can see what looks like burn in at first but then it goes away after a few minutes.
Google RMA any instance of burn in.
I'm on my second exchange. I've decided to keep this one for a few months to wait to see if manufacturing improves then exchange later.
Hopefully in 2018 when we RMA, Google may exchange for the Pixel 3 like they did with Nexus 6P and the original Pixel.
Any burn in is bad. Especially this early
Although many use the term "burn in" it's actually the reverse of that. As the navigation bar is black most of the time, it means the pixels in that part of the screen never light up. As a result they wear off more slowly than the rest of the screen, showing discrepancy against a uniform colour/image, especially grey.
I use Navbar Apps which automatically changes the colour of the nav bar based on the app, it simply means the pixels in that section light up and the wear is similar to the rest of the screen, minimising any appearance of "burn in".
Hi,
most of the time a night shift seems to be activated at the end of the day, and disabled at dawn... sometimes it's still activated during the day.
by night shift I mean a blue light scren filter : white color is more yellow than white..
I don't find anything in setup; read mode is disabled, auto contrast is off, I tried all seetings with contrast, colors and others...
does anyone know how to disable this?
many thanks

I had the same issue.
This happens because your previous device had night light activated. When you added and sync your device all the device setting got transferred.
Miui doesn't allow us to use the native Night light setting even though it's already present because of Android.
You have to factory reset and add account back without importing your device setting from previous phone.
Just unselect the part when restoring apps.
Hey,
I had the same issue https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jami.tool.hiddensetting install this app search nightdisplaysuggestion and turn off - Now you're ready to rock
