I have the i717 from rogers and currently running the cm9 official rom but it doesnt seem to matter what rom im on I see this werid fluttering brightness thing occurring on any rom. Try my best to describe it, it is like its almost fluttering up or down in brightness levels when about to dim or undim I am wondering if this is maybe a hardware issue with my device that I should get serviced or if it is normal?

I was going to ask what rom .but then had a thought regarding the light sensor on the device .
And I remember reading about sensor calibration and possible causes of fluctuations .
I suppose a search would find that for you ...but check this also ...
Display settings in cm allow light to decrease ...it's a hysterisis setting ...(I butchered that word )
And the settings control flicker in the display . You might try turning those off .
Next is the power saver settings which allow a light decrease also ..after a few seconds of no screen touch ,the light level drops too save power .
And third ...turn off your automatic light level setting in display settings .
I'm thinking three items are conflicting a bit and some mild tuning will fix it ...g
Hi. i have my GS3 for a while now and i just noticed that if i am loading a page on the internet, my screen flicker on the white page till the page loads regardless of what is the brightness.
i figured my GS3 has a problem with white color " hardware issue "
so i downloaded many screen test apps that display full colors. and my screen didnt flicker displaying any.
so i came to notice my ficker only happens when the phone is busy loading something.
i tried to tick the option in the developers option for the screen overlay ? it did nothing .
can anyone help ? figure out what is the issue ? i really dont think its a hardware issue.
i tried different roms but no luck :/
+rep for helps and suggestions. ty
so ehm. am i the only one ? lol sheesh
Can't say I've noticed any screen flickering, but then I use dolphin browser.
ive noticed this the last week or so but not on the white page. Its flickering a little when i go into the bookmarks page. Dont know whats causing it, never used to happen.
Is it real flicker or more like black boxes appearing all over the screen?
If the latter, make sure neither your Cpu nor Gpu is overclocked or undervolted since the issue usually arises with Gpu calculation errors due to overheating (improbable) or voltage problems

Dude, its most likely an incompatibility issue with the custom rom ( am i right? ) you are using. I had the exact same issue with the dolphin browser on paranoidandroid rom. Just install chrome, it most likely is compatible with most of the roms out there.
Hello guys,
two (I hope) little problems. I installed "KingKang Rom Unofficial Source Build" yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007132
At the moment everything works fine beside two problems:
- The clock on the top right is one hour off
Yeah, the clock is one hour behind the real time. But only in this clock. The clock widget, the clock on lockscreen and the clock in the clock settings are working fine. Any chance to (manually) change this? Probably it thinks it's in summer time?!
- The notification LED is off
No light for notifications or charging. Could be the Kernel (Buttered Toast with captive backlight off), but I thought it only desables the light of the buttons. Haven't seen an option in the settings yet.
Probably someone knows how to fix it. Anyhow I will change the kernel with backlight on and probably flash the ROM over a second time, when I get home.
Any help appreciated
cya,
MChief
Hello, I see your having some issues with Kingkang rom. The clock is off by an hour? OK have you set the correct time zone in date/ time settings? That happens to me sometimes when I flash Mazda's aokp jb ROMs. As for notification light, have you tried enabling in led under rom control? The capavative lights have nothing to do with led lights. Buttered toast kernel works fine for me. FYI I know your new here, and you aren't able to post in development yet( perspectively in kingkang thread) you need at least ten posts to post there. My suggestion is to go in general section and get in a couple discussions about something to build your count up so you can post in development.

Like you can see on my "join date" I'm not really new, but it's hard for me to write on other topics
Like I said, the other clocks are working perfect with correct time/zone etc. like it is chosen in settings. Only then "main" clock doesn't want to...
There is a LED Control option in the settings, but when the light in the app picture goes on, the LED of my phone doesn't. I also changed the setting there to see if it will overwright something.
Yes, maybe I should join a few conversations to ask the devs directly. THX for the answer
I use light flow lite from the play store to control my led lights notifications, you may also have an issue with no control over screen brightness, use rootdim
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Ok, so after a reboot (sadly one i didn't want to do...) the clock is working as it should.
BUT yesterday I installed light flow, but didn't get the LED to work. This morning I THINK I got it working by enabling "icd backlight LED".
State at the moment: When I want to unlock the screen it goes on for a second and then goes totally black like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20012996
Don't know where "s6e8aa0 control" is...
And the capavative lights like to go on and never go off. Only a reboot helps here. Also produced by light flow.
Now I deinstalled light flow
So after installing the full version of light flow and playing with the sttings I got it to work at the first try.
It's now with HTC compability mode and without the "icd backlight LED".
Probably also the update to the newest buttered toast kernel and setting the min. Mhz from 1** to 3**. I will test that.
Well I'm glad you got it to work
Ok, it's also working with 1** Mhz. So it was the "icd backlight LED".
Light Flow isn't working how i would like it. I only want the normal notifications...
Hi there,
Unfortunately I couldn't find a similar post so here is my issue and question:
I'm not new to flashing, but i switched from my beloved S1 to the S2!
After trying different ROMs I decided to go with SlimBean. As the BLN is not supported I tried switching to the Dorimanx 7.47 Kernel.
Now here the problems start. First of all everything worked, it was nice and smooth but from time to time the display flashed red and came back to normal. After upgrading to Dorimanx 7.49 the problem was gone but my display-brightness and -colors were not the same. The brightness was unusually high and the colors seemed to be faded. (It quite looked like the gamma value were changed and since then I'm running my phone with a screenfilter-app)
So I reset all kernel settings before flashing the new kernel (including a fullwipe) and went back to the original Speedmod kernel +(SlimBean ROM) but the unusually high brightness and faded colors stayed the same!
My question now is: could that be a display hardware failure from changing the kernel or did I miss resetting some very basic core settings?? Has anyone experienced brightness/color problems like this?
thanks for any advice!
Flash a stock ROM and see if it persists.

I have a couple of "issues" with the phone. Not sure if its software related or hardware related. Maybe you guys can check on yours too see if it happens. This is all on stock ATT rom
It seems the One has "dynamic contrast" enabled by default. When scrolling on webpages, for example, if I come to an area with a dark advertisement, the brightness adjusts very slightly most of the time. Thats all well and good but the annoying thing is that it does it in steps causing quick blinks of the backlight. Its most pronounced at medium brightness. The same "blinking" happen when autobrightness wants to set the brightness to a very low level . It does it in very discrete steps and it takes a long time for the brightness to settle to its minimum.
If i set my brightness to 50% (most prevalent when the slider is under the "t" in brightness) I get a VERY subtle, but constant pulsating of the backlight. Again, Its a very subtle but my eyes pick it up regardless and its distracting as hell. I wouldn't mind it if autobrightness didn't hit this brightness level, but it does sometimes indoors. The effect is best seen on a mixed white and color screen, like a homescreen with a white widget and most websites. If the brightness goes a bit above or below this level, the pulsing goes away . Anyone else seeing this? maybe it happens at a different brightnesses on different screens.
Thanks
I noticed this when watching a video today. Maybe it only happens if you have autobrightness on?
Sent from my HTC One
It happens with autobrightness off for me. I actually tested it a bit more. I happens on a variety of backlight settings depending on what's on the screen.
At approx. 33% brightness (im using an app called screen adjuster to set the system brightness to a specific value), the screen does heavy pulsating on an all white image. For example, if I go to "about:blank" in the web browser. I can be seen on a desktop screen with a white widget or the settings menu.
Same thing at 40. Worst is 33% though. I have a feeling its dynamic contrast going haywire at certain brightnesses. If you turn the screen off then on, it doesnt do it for a second or 2, but then it will start. I haven't been able to find a demo unit anywhere around me to test this out. So if someone can check this on their device, I would appreciate it. Please use Screen Adjuster to get a definitive reading on the brightness. (Use the slider in "system brightness" to set it to a specific brightbess) and go to "about:blank" in the default browser
hi..
i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?
JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

Thanks for the response. I ended up looking at 4 more devices at 2 different stores and they all had the flicker. The sales associates even saw it. I got tired of doing exchanges and I ended up reversing my upgrade. Im going to wait and see what happens with this issue. Hopefully it gets sorted out with a firmware update, because otherwise its an awesome phone. Its a shame that the $100 trade-in offer is going to end by then and I wont be getting a free medialink device, but atleast i'd be able to get it in black, which is what I originally wanted.
Ive noticed this too and its really annoying me. Ive tried multiple roms including the new asop carbon rom and its even on that.

In addition to the phones I exchanged, every display model that I've come across has had it. I'm was a bit surprised at first that not many people have come across this. I'm starting to think that maybe the One has a PWM backlighting, which some folks are sensitive to and some don't even notice. I'm in the former category and I think you are too. It a shame really that this problem exist. Besides that, I couldn't find any other faults with the phone. It was perfect in every other aspect
I've run Into the same exact behavior using the HTC droid DNA with both sense 4+ and sense 5 ROMs. I smell tomfoolery afoot.
Screen Flicker
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this. It doesn't stay that way very long for me, but it is quite annoying. Seems to happen when there's a white or light-colored background the most. So I guess there's nothing specifically wrong with my phone and we'll either have to live with it or wait until someone figures out how to fix it?
I guess most people don't notice this.m it's extremely irrational going between this and my tablet and having the black.ighting flashing in my face when I scroll through webpages.
