So this is a problem I've had for a while now, searching around the internet I couldn't find much information.
Anyway so what happens is that when I'm watching a youtube video on portrait and I open up FB messenger through the chat heads, the screen begins to flicker black, but only on the portion of the screen where the video is playing in the background. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
The issue doesn't appear if I switch to FB messenger directly. It only appears when I open the app through the "chat heads" feature
I have the same problem with the bubble chat in Youtube with Messenger. I think this problem come when an App had the Draw over other apps permission.
I had a lot of Flickering when i use Fluid Navigation Gesture that use that permission too that include Youtube like you said, In Call UI, Chrome and WhatsApp when you open the camera included in WhatsApp from Main Menu of WhatsApp.
I also have the same problem.
When I launched Chrome or click the news in Google Feed, my screen flicker black and while for about one seconds then back to normal.
I tried to record the flickering using screen recorder, but the flickering effect are not recorded.

Yes , this is known issue from Pie .
Here;s what you can do.
Go to Setting > at the search bar , search for " Disable HW Overlay " - turn it on (means disable) .
That will do , the flickering will no longer happen , heres the trick , everytime u restart your phone , u need to disable it again .

Have you notice more battery consumption or more heating after disabling it?
Automatic screen calibration usually sorts everything out, its on every android device.

so i have been using g config to try to control what apps my phone rotates the screen for. i have removed everything from the g config list that has i think out could be but the screen continues to rotate as there is a phone call coming on, this causes the thing screen to rotate as I bring the phone our of my pocket and it often is in the middle of rotating when I try to answer and it often has a hard time hitting th eanswerbutton while on transition.
anyone know of a way to keep the phone to stop rotating?
thanks,
jeff

So when I open Gconfig, the only apps that are set to rotate are:
skyfire
iGuidance
both my mail accounts
sms/mms
IE6
Album
Calculator
Opera
I noticed that on my Wife's phone that has the official Tmo rom does not do this.
Thanks, any other ideas?

Thanks Dude! The only thing that said Dialog was the sms/mms. I deleted that and then reset up the sms/mms and the phone app does not rotate anymore!!
Outstanding!!
For the life of me I can't figure out how to turn off screen record after its turned on. Am I missing something or do you just wait to the time you at runs out?

You can "expand" the running notification, after that a Stop option will show...

I tried that first and it didn't show anything to stop it. After lowering the timeout to 5 min vs 30 min it showed the ability to stop recording. I'm going to bump it back up to 30 min and see if it happens again and if so there's a bug if not just a freak thing.
Just tested it out again but didn't up the record time and this is what I got. Guess I'll just stick with scr screen recorder unless there's a fix for this. Can tap on that recording screen notification all day and it doesn't do jack have to force stop gravity box.
Expand that notification to show the stop option.

Doesn't expand. I found that when the recording is started before opening a game app it works fine. Only weird thing is when in landscape the tab needs to be situated so the charge cord is on the right or the power button needs to be on the bottom or the recording is all funky. Little weird things but it seems to work just as good as scr pro which wasn't free.
Started game. Started screen recording. Dragged down notification, stop button present.
All works flawlessly. Nothing wrong with the implementation whatsoever :good:
I think it depends on Android version. GB for 4.3 may have this bug but on 4.4 there is no bugs whatorever

That's what it looks like when it's working properly. Might have something to do with the game I play which is dead trigger 2 not allowing it to work. When my recording notification goes away either by waiting or force stopping there's no recording made like it didn't completely start up. No big deal just something I've encountered.
Are you using GravityBox(KK) with JB 4.3?
How to unhide the stop and toggle pointer options.

Hi there; I was having issues with the screen recording feature as well, I managed to use it after I selected the option "Use stock binary" under the menu "Screen recording" of gravity box (this disables the option to record with sound though).
Now to your question, I wasn't able to find how to stop the damn thing, it turns out that after you start recording the screen you have to expand the status bar and you'll see the "recording screen" notification not showing the stop option so you have to expland the notification itself by sweeping your finger down on it and only then the stop and toggle pointer options will be shown.
Hey I can't record with sound but other than that I can record the screen without issues. Hope it helps.

Hello justchillin2013 , Even i was having the same problem, no option to stop recording and toggle pointer...
I found two solutions -
1. Open Gravity box >Statusbar tweaks > Notification drawer style > And check Expand all notifications...
OR
2. As soon as you finish recording ,pull down notification panel > tap and swipe down "Recording Screen" notification...now you'll see both the options....
hope that help...
This problem is most noticeable when watching YouTube, and I haven't toyed with too many other video apps to determine if it also happens, but while watching videos, the video will randomly pause.
Doesn't matter what brightness the phone is at, the phone isn't too warm when it happens, doesn't matter if I have headphones plugged in or not, etc. And it's not like an accidental screen touch, because touching the screen once shouldn't pause the video, just show the controls.
I've tried a full factory reset of my phone and it's still occurring. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting? It's incredibly annoying...
Edit: I should clarify this isn't pausing while buffering - this is acting like someone pressed pause mid-video - on screen controls appear, home button appears, status bar appears, and the "Play" icon to press and continue playing the video.
I have the exact same problem.
Did you manage to resolv it?
I have LG H815 SEA and i'm on stock ROM, because i can't root or install custom ROM
The same thing happens to me. I've figured it out why it happens - and it happens in all full screen apps - bottom home touch screen buttons appear together with top notifications bar for just a split second - if you look you'll see it. That causes youtube app to pause the video, and behaviours are different in other apps. It is really annoying and I haven't found a fix yet.
Same issue here with a brand new LG v20, even happens after I take the case off. No idea what could be the issue. And same with the video being fully loaded, and being on o off Wi-Fi doesn't help . Please someone give us an answer!!!!

I had this problem with a galaxy S4. Try going to Settings -> Apps -> Three dots button on top right -> Show System -> Scroll down to media storage -> Storage -> Then Clear Data.
This seemed to fix it for a while. If there is a single app your particularly have the issue with, try reinstalling that app.
Hi xda-friends
Today I want to share with you a way to allow any app to rotate the phone 180 grades, as it does in the built-in camera app, to use the front-facing camera in a more natural way for selfies and front-facing video calls. Here some apps where it will be useful to enable this rotation:
- Google Allo
- Google Duo
- Hangout
- Instagram
- Messages Google
- Whatsapp
I want to leave clear that I'm very happy about this device, however, considers this a way to "solve" the deficient location of the camera in some situations.
Download this app and then follow the video instructions:
"Rotation - Orientation Manager"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation
Video/Instructions:

PD: Hope it useful for you, and sorry for the English grammar/spell errors.
This one even works with snapchat, I tried a few which turned snapchat too but in the end the picture was still upside down. With this one you can use snapchat perfectly fine with the device upside down
It's nice and you even can block the annoying "overlay detected" notification with AutoNotification, but still I have to grant app permissions to change system preferences every time I reboot. Anyone knows a workaround?

Ya inside the App > Settings > Disable Toast messages and Notification this will hide this overlay toast messages and also the permanent notification in the notification area.
it's cool and it works even without root. i used it before i was able to unlock and root my device.
be careful, i forced rotation on all apps, even the launcher screen, and then i uninstalled the app. the always rotate was still active and i couldn't turn it off. i had to reinstall the app and disable rotation, then uninstall again.

How did you setup the rotation after you have root access? Is there a module for magisk?

How did you get it to work with snapchat? on newest xiaomi.eu it rotates the app, but the camera image rotates with the app, so in the end I get an upside down camera feed
Still not working for me. I'm using MIUI 9 global version on a mix 2s and it looks like it's working just until I take the photo. Right after I press the button the photo turns upside down. In videocalls I see myself in the right way but I'm upside down in my friends' screen.
Is there another fix? The bug still exists in MIUI 10?

Same problem using miui global dev
I'm looking to find some other solution for Snapchat and probably some other apps, let me do some research first and then I'll go back to all of you with, if possible, a solution.
i tried a Whatsapp Video Call and my image is upsidedown for other people
Nice app, unfortunately there isn't a preset that works with B612 application.
Has any of you fixed the WhatsApp video calls with this app? I was not able to do so :/
Great tutorial. Worked with google camera as well.:good:
It's not work in WeChat:crying:
for those like me who have the problem that when you take the photo on instagram the photo is turned upside down, just activate any filter and take the photo and it won't be turned upside down, I don't know why but it works, I suggest you look for some empty filter if you just want to take a selfie. Sorry for my bad english i'm italian
Its not working for me, imposible to use this phone as this way...
Hi all. I have CN rom (Tencent Games label). I previously had a Galaxy S21.
I have discovered that many of the frequent apps I use don't notify me well on this RM6. For messaging, I expect a sound, a screen wakeup, and a badge on the lockscreen for apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Outlook Email, etc. How can I get this happening on the RM6?
I also note that when I am in a voice-call on Whatsapp, that after the lockscreen timeout ends, the headphones (speakers and mic) stop working through the lockscreen. But if I unlock, the app (and open voice call) are still there.
I feel like the lockscreen is main issue, but I cannot see any suitable options to change the settings.
Help?
Regards, Sirdiver
i've the same issue in EU Rom, it's a software problem and for sure it will be fixed in the upcoming updates.
Same issue here.
Has this been fixed ?
The biggest issue i am facing right now with this lockscreen is not able to see who is calling me through normal phone call and WhatsApp call. The screen does not showing any details of the caller & keep blank until i unlock the screen. The notification settings on redmagic is so confusing with so unnecessary options. The worst part, after cracking my head configured with so many settings only for the notifications, it doesn't working as expected. Waste of time
Do any of you guys face not having notification icons on the Always-On Display? Not able to fix this issue after tweaking most of the settings and the phone has already been updated to the latest version.
