I don't know if it's an Android M thing or Nexus 5X issue but anyone notice the scrolling looks "weird?"
Meaning when you scroll through a page in Chrome, the text letters on the page kind of fade out for a sec. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in.
I've been playing around with it some more and the text definitely fades out when scrolling. It's also unclear.
Only when the scrolling stops do the text fade in and the words became clear.
Do you by chance have magnification gesture enabled in accessibility settings? That will cause weird scrolling
No, it's not on.
I swear I'm not going crazy.
Text will fade out/fuzz out when scrolling. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in and becomes legible.

Very odd. It does this exact same thing with the zoom/magnification gesture on. Have you tweaked anything and forgot about it in dev options maybe? Any apps that could affect this? Just reaching for straws I am
It's brand new out of the box. I haven't touched any of the settings.
Beginning to wonder if this unit is defective.

Could be. Did you get the ~43MB update and install it? Have you rebooted?
Its more seen if the brightness is low right? Yea. Its because of samsung amoled panel. The downside is .. That. Its because the screen controller latency is too high because it need to power on and power off EVERY SINGLE PIXEL. Lol. K

The Nexus 5X has an LCD panel. Although I do know what you're talking about with some AMOLED panels

It does it on mine as well, but I hadn't noticed until I looked for it, but I see what you mean, it doesn't do it on the older Nexus 5, but the scrolling seems smoother on the 5X almost as if it is a deliberate thing they have done to help our eyes follow rapidly moving text, but it may just be the way they have decided to drive the panel pixels.
It isn't a fault.

I have the exact same issue.
I noticed that in static mode the font is looking good, but when I start scrolling, the font looks thinner and less clear.
I have this issue in all apps (Facebook, Chrome, Whatsapp etc). It looks a bit cheap.
If this is setting, I'd love to know how to fix this.
hey,
is there a fix for this issue?
thanks
It seems that it is an LCD panel feature. I've also this behavior on my nexus 5x (511, Mint).
I've also can clearly see pixels on a white background
Didn't notice anything like that on a Nexus 5 though.
It's the LCD panel. All LCD panels are lazy. Especially when it's cold. Try to use it below 5 or 0 celsius. This lazyness effect is more visible then. It's winter now. You won't see it as much in summer.
so the question is, if i will replace the device this thing will apear again?
I've seen that happen on LCD screens too. I believe the problem might be FPS(frames per second). You aren't achieving 30 FPS or more when scrolling thus making the screen look blurry/ faded text when scrolling. Most likely cause of this is either the GPU not able to push 30> fps or LCD latency(highly doubt).
Try different websites and report back.(some sites are resource hog and might slow down your phone) ex. try sites that you know doesn't have ton of ads
Try different browser. (some browsers like opera mini are less resource hungry and might improve rendering on screen)
Try other apps as a last resort.
if the blurry text is from LCD then LG made a poor decision on picking a low frequency screen. maybe 60hz (LCD screen refreshes 60 times)
Coming from an M7, this is really annoying, especially when scrolling through Twitter.

No round corners - what round corners you are referring to ?
Brightness issues - the brightness issues such? for me I notice that the brightness is significantly reduce when u reduce the brightness to the lowest
No digital dashboard - if you are referring to digital wellbeing , you need to download it from playstore first after update to PIE.

This corners not rounded as in pixel phones and also why the color isn't just blue like pixel istead of this strange color!!
No text copying from recent apps screen like pixel
For brightness I have to slide it for about 45% to get the same brightness as 20% in oreo and for sure it's more battery consuming!
The rounded corners thing is true, notification shade and quick actions are not as rounded as Pixel and you can't select text from an Overview/recent apps. But you can always flash custom ROM if you're not satisfied. I personally like it and, performance-wise, it works great. Once they polish these bugs, it will be even better experience.
The corners are rounded because the phone's screen has rounded edges..Unless you mean about another thing... What do you mean with digital dashboard? If you mean Digital WellBeing you might need to join their beta. I had no problems with the brightness.. the only problems I had is with the camera and I had one time when the recent screen was stuck for 4 seconds

[UPDATE][STOCK][PIE][v072][WW SKU] Digital Wellbeing included & few bugs are fixed.
Finally, Asus managed to give us Digital Wellbeing. I installed it in my phone which has WW SKU and here are some changes or improvements which I noticed.
Bugs fixed in v066
1) Digital Wellbeing is pre-installed.
2) Power button icon in dark mode was black. Now they've fixed it.
3) Brightness bar bug. It has been fixed.
4) New icon for FM Radio app. The UI hasn't changed though.
5) They've fixed the vibration intensity. It was too low before.
6) The black screen bug when you swipe up the lock screen is fixed.
7) No more low volume in headphones.
Bugs fixed in v067
1) The network indicator icons in the status bar were misaligned. It has been fixed.
2) Finally, the front camera beauty mode bug in which the photos taken in front camera were softening the areas below the eyes, has been fixed.
3) New boot animation. (Well, it's just for Indians. They've changed the text "Zenfone" to "ASUS" logo while booting. Because of copyright infringement. There's another file inbootanimation.zip apart from bootanimation.zip in /system/media/)
Bugs fixed in v069
1) NFC issue has been fixed.
Bugs fixed in v070
1) They had removed Widevine L1 in v069. Now it has been restored.
2) Weird animation when switching from landscape mode to portrait mode has been fixed. But the ghost notch hasn't been fixed. The notch appears for a micro second and disappears when you open or exit a game which runs in landscape mode.
Bugs fixed in v072
1) The misaligned battery icon in the statusbar is fixed.
Here are some bugs.
1) The very old ugly bottom display corners is back. It seems they couldn't fix the ghost notch issue and hence disabled the image overlay used to round the bottom corners and the notch.
2) The statusbar width is smaller in landscape mode and hence you can see the notch popping out.
2) Network upload/download activity arrow icons in status bar should be disabled when the device is not connected to mobile data and should be enabled only when particular sim's mobile data is enabled. So that some space can be saved for other status bar icons like alarm. (This is an old bug)
I'll update this thread if I find new improvements or bugs. If you find any, do comment.

Installation instructions:
Case 1: If you are using stock recovery
1) Make sure you have another copy of official update zip file. This is important. Because if updating fails, it corrupts the update zip file and you'll have to download the zip file again. It happened to me. Luckily I had saved a copy in my laptop which saved my time and bandwidth.
2) Copy the update zip file to the root of your phone's memory. Not inside any folder. It should detect an update and you'll get a notification. If not, reboot the phone. It'll detect.
Case 2: If you're using custom recoveries like TWRP, OFRP or PBRP
1) Make sure you have another copy of official update zip file. In case if something goes wrong, you don't have to download it again.
2) Use 7-Zip and navigate to META-INF\com\google\android\ inside the zip file. There you'll see a file named "updater-script". Drag and drop it to convenient folder. Edit and delete the lines above this line using Notepad++ and save it. (The text in red depends on the build number of every update)
Code:
ui_print("Target: Android/sdm660_64/sdm660_64:[COLOR="Red"]9/PKQ1/16.2017.1906.067-20190703[/COLOR]:user/release-keys");
3) After deleting those lines, drag and drop it back to the same folder in 7-Zip and overwrite it. Copy the edited update zip file to your phone and flash it using custom recovery. Use PBRP or OFRP to flash the update zip if you want to disable forced encryption.
I have a question. Is your device certified in the Play store after updating?
I have this bug where if you out your phone to landscape mode you get a second notch.
Some pixel 3xl devices suffered from this bug back in October. Now dear Asus has enabled an extra notch for us.
Not everybody has the bug, but if you have it its permanent in landscape mode.
Clearing cache does nothing.

In my case, the rounded corners vanish if my device goes to landscape mode. That's why I don't have this pseudo notch permanently. It does occur sometimes. I have mentioned in OP how to reproduce this pseudo notch bug. This pseudo notch is nothing but a png image they use to round the bottom corners. It's not supposed to rotate with the display. But in this 066 build, it's rotating and causing that pseudo notch bug.

You read my mind. Asus software developers are lazy as f. This png image also disables 5 rows of pixels from the bottom. Yes, there is a better way. Using overlay method. Just like this in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/max-pro-m2/themes/elegantnotch-x01bd-magisk-t3945123
It is currently being used to round the notch. May be this can be modified to round the bottom corners.
Edit: I saw the bug in pixel 3xl devices. Seems google used same png file method to round the display corners and the notch. This wouldn't have been the issue if asus properly aligned the glass panel with the display.

066 update was removed from asus site, probably because the "landscape notch bug" (& the all bunch of bugs that stock has) as stated in the OP. So, wait a few months or use LOS 16.0 like me. It is much better rom than stock & with some (very needed) extra goodies (features).
Edited: the OP attached a link to the 066, if you want still to flash that sh*tty update manually.
Which is good for battery backup stock pie or custom roms?

yes i can do that all the time... when i switch to lte only it always back to default set... and never locked to lte / 4G just like the old firmware.. thats why i use custom rom right now.

I too have this bug after updating. But it goes to normal if the phone is restarted or the display is changed to landscape or portrait.
My experience whit this crappy update, and the fake notch.
My funny fake notch it's permanent t, restart don't work.
So Before deciding to unlock bootloader and flash a decent rom I tried a simple reset.
Surprise! It's work, no more fake notch!
Til.... I installed an app from play store. Not in landscape, in portrait mode.
Notch returned, permanently.
Thanks Asus.
There's a workaround: turn landscape, notch appear.
Turn 180 degrees and disappear, but only that time.
Every time you want to use landscape mode without notch you have to do it.
I didn't n't want to unlock bootloader, but I think it's time to flash some roms that works.
It's official. There's a new OTA 067. I have updated the link of full zip in OP.

Hi everyone,
So I am trying to help my brother with an odd problem. Samsung Galaxy S9 with Android 10, all updates done. My brother noticed that the phone battery is draining faster than usual, nothing particular with data usage. The particularity is that an orange dialog bubble has appeared on the lower left of the screen. It stays there, over any app. If I take a screenshot, the bubble doesn't appear on the screenshot. The bubble is a bit transparent. I havent been a member here for long enough to post the picture.
It is pale, but it stays there no matter what. My guess is that it's a screen burn, but the bad performance of the phone and the battery makes me think otherwise. My brother also doesn't think he ever saw this orange bubble in any app. What are your opinions?
Its hard without seeing a pic. try to upload the screenshot on imgur and posting here the link (use spaces between dots to avoid censor)

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.

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 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

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.

Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.

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.
