i noticed that whenever i unlocked the screen to one of the home screens there is a very noticeable flicker, like an entire page refresh or something. there's no flickering when i unlock to an app or settings menu etc., only to one of the 7 home screens. is anyone else with this otherwise awesome rom having/seeing this issue?
Sorry if this question doesn't belong here.
I'm now running CM 10.1.3 Stable Release on my S4, but I'm having trouble with the lock screen. Maybe I'm just not understanding how it's supposed to work.
I have the lock screen set for 10 minutes after sleep, but it never does that. It locks immediately after the screen goes dark. Am I missing something, or is it just broken? In the stock ROM, pressing Home wakes up the phone, but the lock screen doesn't appear until the set time has elapsed. This is how I thought the CM lock screen would work too.
Greetings, using an E975 which recently had to get its screen+digitizer changed, which is working fine except for a little issue, touches get registered about 1-1.5mm lower compared to where I touched. So vertical orientation is a bit off, horizontal appears ok.
Old/original digitizer didn't have such an issue. Rom is official 4.4.2.
I tried pretty extensively for a touch calibration app as well as looked in the menu for a built-in option but no luck. Any ideas?
Hey everyone!
As the title say i'm facing a issue with my always on display.
I'll try to make it as simple as possible:
When I set the always on display to be always active it works flawlessly.
When I set the always on display to activate on tap (and last for 10 seconds according to the settings) it appears for roughly 3 seconds and then disappears for 3-4 and reappears flickering for 2-3 times sometimes showing the desktop wallpaper between each flicker.
Did anyone experience the same issue?
What I did to try and fix it was:
- tested both on battery and while charging
- factory reseted and then restored backup (which was stupid, that lead me to the second point)
- start in safe mode (to check whether it was an app causing troubles) but no such luck, problem still occurs.
- uninstalled "nice lock" apps
- changed some settings under the always on display tab
- cleared cache of the always on app
What you should know:
- I'm running android 9, not rooted and have nova launcher as default home
- After I factory reseted the phone I wanted to stop always on display from updating to test whether it was a new version issue but I forgot and didn't make it in time so I'm currently running the latest version
Does anyone have any idea as of why it's behaving like this?
edit: just wanna be a little more clear, flickering is not meant like a lightbulb it's more something like it turns off and back on after a delay (I'm sorry english is not my native language I can't really explain it any better)

i also experience the same.
this phone has many strange bugs.
when i restart my A70, tap to show always on display works for me for 2-3 times.
after 2-3 times working correctly, the bug starts.
after i tap the screen, it shows AOD for 2 seconds. then turns the screen off and then at the end of the 10th second, screen just flashes itself for the last time and turns off completely.
i think it is related to the fingerprint scanner.
because after i registered my fingerprints and turned on unlocking the screen by the FP reader, this bug ends.
after i tap the screen it shows both the clock and fingerprint icon at the bottom of the screen.
after 2 seconds fingerprint icon disappears. and the clock is continued to be shown until the end of 10th second.
but there is a minor issue, when the fingerprint icon disappears, the AOD screen brightness changes. dims or brighter slightly.
can you please try tap to show AOD, by enabling the fingerprint unlocking?
samsung ?

Hey! Thanks for the answer, I can confirm we have the exact same issue. I also have the same brightness issue you described
Anyway, I have always used fingerprint unlock though so I don't know what to answer you.. I only recently noticed the weird behavior. I did a couple things to test and I found out that enabling the "fingerprint" icon showing in the always on display seems to "fix" the issue of the flicker but not the one of the brightness change (after enabling it i've yet to see the problem occur), you should try it and let me know if you see any improvement. It's probably on samsung's end though and hopefully we get it fixed with android 10 or earlier
I'll take this chance to ask you another question; two weeks ago I received a software update and ever since that day I noticed my battery to be lasting waaaay less than it used to, did you update your phone as well? Did you notice a battery drain?
I have the issue both of you talking about.
hello, I had this same issue and what I did was turn the phone off, and booting it up while pressing "Volume Up", after entering a black screen with many options, I selected wipe cache. It has worked without a flaw since then. There's lots of bugs with this phone. I recently had a problem where the USB port will detect a device and "plugged and unplugged" it, making my phone unable to dim. Thankfully I was helpful.
I'm having some issues with my home screen and lock screen because i upload my image and then passed some minutes it turns again to default screen theme. Does that have a solution?!

Im facing the same on rmn8pro with miui v11.0.3.0.PGGEUXM found no solution yet.
I get that occasionally on 10.4.5 and thought upgrading to 11 would fix it but I guess not. I wonder if it's the result of me disabling one of the many xiaomi services, lol. I guess this is where a custom ROM would come in handy....
