Is my screen dying?

Hi guys.
I am on francos kernel with aokp m4. I know a lot of new features include LCD density, gamma and colour tweaks. I never messed around with any of those, because first of all I don't even know what most of that stuff means, and second I don't know what the benefits/downsides are to making those changes. So I left it alone.
I downloaded francos kernel updater and afterwards noticed very slight changes in colour. Everything below the halfway point of the screen has a different hue to it. Like a lighter hue. Its so hard to explain but its there. I deleted the francos kernel updater and it went away.
During the day I don't notice any of it, at home however it seems like it comes back. I then looked at Rom control for Aokp m4 and made sure all those settings were at default. Even then I notice it.
Also, this is gonna be hard to explain as well. Imagine diving the screen into thirds (vertically). I can literally see a line 1/3 down from the top when the screen is off. Its not as scratch or anything but I can see like the pixels. I have to take a torch to it but it is clearly visible. What is it? and does anybody else have it?
Second, 3/3 down in the screen (when it is on) I can see a transparent line (not when the screen is off, only when on, so it is a software thing?) and everything BELOW that is of a different hue.
Funny thing is I never noticed this stuff before, and I've examined the phone closely before.
I would take pictures but they wouldn't help you guys are gonna have to use ur imagination on this one lol
Any ideas?

Ha i have that line as well! Top third of the screen, about 2 pixels wide and going horizontal across the screen. Can only see it when the display is off. Shows nothing when on. I dont have your other issues though.
Install dead pixel detect and check each color and see what you find.

The color change is a kernel tweak. Try to flash GLaDOS kernel and your problems should go away

You can edit the colour settings yourself on Franco kernel with his app.

Thats the thing I have edited them to default, I've even gotten rid of the app. It seems like it goes away but comes back :S
Which is why I half think I'm seeing things but I swear the colours look off. Does Aokp build 28 have any of colour changes built in? I know you can change them, but like I said mine are set on default. Does it have any automated changes?

Just edit the colours til you find something you like.
There is a thread somewhere with peoples colour settings in it.
Give it a go and se if you can sort out your problem.
Here is the link, only a few different ones but give em a go

[Q] Wallpaper tears for a sec after you exit app

Hello,
I just got my G3 a few days ago. Overall I love it. However this morning I tried out a couple wallpapers from Zedge and Background HD.. after changing my wallpaper I noticed that everytime I exit an app, any app, the wallpaper in the background tears up for a sec or so, then it goes back to normal.. Not really a big deal but still a little annoying since it happens EVERY time after I exit an app.. I don't remember this happening when I first got my phone.. anyone else noticing the same? If so is there a solution? Seems like something a simple patch would do.
Thank you in advance!
Vic

I did notice the same behavior with wallpapers applied by Zedge. Then I decided to try to set up the wallpaper by the default way and it worked, the flaw is gone.
Try it.

It seems that the issue returned here. I don't know how to solve, appears to be random.

I've got same problem after just few hours of using brand new LG G3. I've set one wallpaper using Backgrounds HD and it was blinking, tearing apart, and changing ratio. So I switched back to one of stock wallpapers, the one I liked and it is doing same thing. So I tried to change whole skin but it changed nothing and it really annoys me. :/

I think some of these wallpaper apps need to be updated to support the QuadHD resolution. If you download the wallpaper to a computer, then copy it to the phone and install it normally (not using an app) it should work fine. I've used lots of different images as wallpaper without any issues.

I will try to do it this way and I think it will work. The problem is (in my opinion) that switching back to one of OS stock wallpapers doesn't solve the issue. The only moment phone wallpaper acts normal is when I reset theme. It applies only to default theme wallpaper. As I have my LG for only a day or so, I might consider factory reset :/
Edit:
Ok, so I stopped Backgrounds HD service, cleared its data and now all works fine. So the problem was in this particular applications service. Now I know, setting wallpapers from application is not a good idea.

Does the brightness slider appear in expanded status bar, and does it move when you slide it? Stock or custom ROM?

A few options - 1) try a 3rd-party broghtness ap, ( like maybe https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ria&pcampaignid=APPU_1_kEfpV6ebJ8bx-QGS-o-oCw ). If that works, it's probably a fw problem. 2) mess with display settings, (there are lots of them in stock Xperia), and see if anything you do affects it. 3) make a backup and try a factory reset/reinstall, and see if anything changes. You could also try wiping caches...

Brightness apps dont work, but in xperia settings i can change white balnce(make screen colour more red, green, or blue). I could change brightness level before I changed screen but now it doesnt so maybe its also hardware but if i can change screens colour to more blue red or green I think it could also make it brighter.
Will probably do factory reset later.

I did service test with ambient light sensor and value is always 0.

Burn-in effect

Hi,
I have this problem and I have a LGD panel. There is any permanent solution? I already know about changing colour parámetres.
Thanks.

Any solution?

Try one of these videos for several hours:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lcd+image+retention+
Basically there is no such thing as burn-in with LCD screens. But what can happen is that a colour is displayed too long which can make the molecules "get stuck" in it's current state. You can literally massage it to relax again with some colour flickering for a long period of time.

I have Mi5s with LG panel, and there is a solution for image retention problem. You do not need to play some videos with pixel shifting for hours
There are three ways to solve this issue, it depends what ROM are you using.
First one:
If you have stock ROM without root you need to shut down and cool down your phone for at least 24 hours. After that image retention will be gone, but will come back again, so this is only temporary solution.
Second:
If you have stock ROM and have root, install this app from play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.lumen
Grant root permissions, in battery settings allow this app to run in background and to run on startup. Open the app and in Master filter mode set custom values at 0.9 for all, save and exit.
Third and best one:
If you have custom ROM like me ( Lineage 15.1 Oreo 8.1) , enter display settings, live display, color calibration, and set RGB values to 90% and press ok.
I am using this fix for 2 months and did not seen any image retention. You can check this on all grey image/background, this is the easiest way to spot image retention.
I know this is very annoying problem, I was thinking to return my phone for warranty, but it is very hard to find another Mi5s with another type of panel, so after some time new phone will have same issue again.

Thanks for the info, Mr. Nice.
I use Epic Rom (stable) but there is no RGB settings in display options. Any alternative way to proceed?

Use can use CF Lumen app from the link above.

I tried it but the display shows burn-in as before.

None of the solution I found solve the problem. Any sugestion?

LCD panels can't have burn-in effect. But if you have that then time to buy a new phone.

Question 12 "Stable" Issues Thread

Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!

Another botched update from oneplus scams

Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???

- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.

App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?

it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12

Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.

Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...

Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.

I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.

Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?

I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.

Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached

Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.

Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.

I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.
