Hello, I've been noticing this weird issue since day one with my device. The screen will dim and brighten itself periodically through use. I have only noticed it while using amazon instant video, a few games, and occasionally netflix. I have not noticed any dimming/brightening while watching Kodi. My aftv2 is currently rooted, but I have noticed this since originally setting it up on stock, and all the way through 5.0-5.05 or whatever the current version is.
It basically looks like the screen dims itself a little bit or brightens back up and it is really annoying (at least to me, not sure the wife even notices). When it happens, it looks like when a phone dims itself automatically from a sensor. I have not seen anybody else mention this issue, and I am fairly certain I'm not insane (or at least not because of this).
FWIW, I am using fairly new LED samsung "smart" tv and the input i'm using for the aftv2 was previously used by a nexus player that i have since gotten rid of and never had any dimming issues with. I have had all sorts of other devices used on this tv's from pc's, gaming consoles, receivers, etc with no issue.
any ideas?

Hi guys
has anyone else experianced a flickering every now and then when using the media link accessory. It occurs every few seconds and caused the picture to bounce, with a usually green band on the bottom part of the screen. Ive started to use zoom to get rid of the banding on my tv - not ideal and the boucing is still there.
this is occuring on all my videos, using both mobo and gallery.
Ive got samsung plasma 50 inch tv, it also occurs on my 23inch led sammy and my 40inch sammy lcd (older tv). ive fiddled with my networks and cannot get rid of the problem, i think there maybe an issue with the firmware on the device but need other people to say they are also having this issue before i go to htc.
thanks guys
Hello, I've been a member for a while and I can usually figure problems out on my own just by searching, but this is something I haven't seen anything on after some pretty extensive searching (unless I'm just searching wrong). When I try playing most videos, they play as normal, but all the colors are green. There is also a pink color, but it is stretched and doesn't seem to line up with the green portion of the video (which looks to have the proper ratio). This happens in the YouTube app, when I'm screen mirroring on my TV, and in YouTube via Chrome (but only when not in full screen).
Does anybody have experience with this or know why this might be happening? The videos were working before I installed this rom, and it's not this way for all videos, just most of them. Again, these are standard YouTube videos that I have no trouble playing on my computer or TV, and some videos will even display properly on my phone while I'm screen mirroring, but will be green/pink on the TV simultaneously.
I've also attached some pictures so you can see what I mean, since I'm not quite sure how to describe it.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix for it?
EDIT: I've done some more searching around and found some people that have had similar issues, but on PC and not Android. It seems their fix is to disable hardware acceleration, but I don't see anything like that anywhere in the settings. Should I install a new kernel? Could that be part of the problem?
Edit2: I'm going to try flashing a new rom tonight to see if anything changes, will edit with any updates.
Flashed SlimKit yesterday, videos work like a charm now. Seems there may have been an issue with either the ROM or kernel I was using before. Mods, feel free to close/delete this.
My N7 fell in water the other day and even though there are no issues with the tablet itself, I'm not sure if the touch screen was damaged or not.
Whenever I scroll on a page or app, it looks like the screen is tearing or lagging and it seems like it's take a split second to catch up with the scrolling. This doesn't appear to be the case with watching video though as playback appears fine.
I'm running 6.01 on the Pure Nexus Rom, in case it's software based but I don't think it is as I was running a different 6.01 rom prior to that with the same issue.
Hi.
I recently noticed that the screen is performing some sort of auto-dimming when displaying content, just like Samsung TVs do on Dinamic Mode. This is not to be confused with auto-brightness, it's something completely different that happens at every brightness level and in every screen mode (Standard, Dinamic, Cinema, Adapt Display).
I first noticed this watching a TV show with subtitles. Whenever the subtitle kicked in, the screen will shift the luminosity of the image displayed, dulling it, resulting in washed out blacks and contrast. After the subtitles disappeared, the image was restored to its previous state. I thought it was app-related, but it happens everywhere. It even happens when displaying still pictures in gallery apps or using comic reading apps.
Cycle between this two images and check it out. Maybe subtle, but it's annoying as hell. I'm on 5.1.1 and I don't know what may be causing this, but I can't recall it happened in KitKat.
Any help will be appreciated.
Not sure if I notice this back on KitKat, but I believe this could possibly be a standard feature among IPS screen?
My VAIO Pro 11 laptop and my Xperia Z1 also experiences it, albeit only if the changes are total ie if the displayed colors cover the majority of the image for instance when changing from a black image to a white image, in which the screen will brighten a bit when more whites are displayed, and vice versa. So it's a more subtle change than what you are experiencing there. However I have not yet notice this on my Note 2014, maybe I wasn't attentive enough. Not really a major bother though.
Hi.
I have an standard IPS desktop monitor and it surely doesn't show this behavior. I have even calibrated it with a colorimeter and it works flawlessly within its specifications. Anyway, I don't recall the Note 2014 having an IPS screen but a simple LCD, but maybe I'm wrong.
I will later try and record a video, I hope I can capture the tablet performing the tweaks. I find it so annoying that I hope downgrading to KitKat will solve it, if there is not other way to fix it.
Here, I managed to capture on camera exactly what I see. Check it out:

I don't know what is causing this.
I just got the Nexus 5X some 2-3 weeks ago. First week or two was smooth sailing after setting up the phone as a brand new phone in the initial setup process. I did not restore a backup from a previous phone.
Since then, I've had occasional freezing of apps like the homescreen freezes momentarily and becomes black and unresponsive only to be back to normal shortly thereafter. Likewise I had freezes with Google Music and Chrome. Today however has been my worst attack of freezing. I am reading some articles on Chrome and the bloody thing freezes like crazy. Scrolling is unresponsive and very rough, the interface becomes unresponsive. Home/Back/Recents buttons become unresponsive. I am not sure if the websites are at fault, they are salon.com and huffingtonpost.com that I am reading. And this issue seems very pronounced and doesn't go away in a short while like before. I still have the problem after like 10-15 minutes. Looks like other apps like Facebook are mostly okay, although I see a occasional slow down there.
I note that I am charging my phone while doing this browsing and I am wondering if the heating up of the phone due to charging is causing issues. Is this what people refer to as lag on this phone? Is there a solution?
EDIT: I used an app called "CPU temp" and saw the temperature to be around 39-40C. Also, I read elsewhere on XDA that the CPU is throttled at around 37C in the default kernel. So could this be why I saw all that lag? Now I don't seem to have any issues with Chrome anymore and I can navigate any page including on Salon.com fairly well although Salon is still a bit laggy on not just this but other phones I have, so their website may also have some issues.
