Hello, i'm new, so i apologize if i did this incorrectly. So i have had a droid razr for some time now. I have noticed recently that whenever i turn on my phone, the screen fade-in looks really bad. I looks like it fades-in from three different shades of black, and looks really bad. It also does this when it fades-out when the screen is about to turn off. I know i can go into developer settings and turn off the animations or whatever, but that disables the really cool TV-like transistion when i turn off the screen. I was curious if this is a known issue or can be fixed without disabling the animaitons? I also have a matte finish screen protector and that might do someting to the colors? Any help would be apprecitated, thanks! (btw, i'm not rooted)

Hello all.
I have rather a weird situation. I have a Lite'ning rom, and it comes default with the CRT animation. However, sometimes the closing animation will put a 'defect' on the screen just before turning the screen off.
It looks like the screen is broken and the white lines stay there. Now, this happens after some time the phone is on. Once restarted, the phone will go back to the normal state.
I have to repeat this: This defect is present for only a few millisecond, during the CRT closing animation. The screen has no defects or any yellow lines.
Does this sound like a software fault or a hardware fault? Also, since I am the first one who is reporting this, is it ok to assume that I am the only one with this 'fault'?
Thank you,
Mo.
55 views and NO answer.. I mean, people can't even say whether they ACTUALLY experienced this or not?!!?!
yes i get it too. it must be the crt animation thats.. not optimized for sgsii
I am guessing what you see is identical to the 'no-clipping' effect seen when you go through a wall in a really old game like doom using the no-clip cheat.

I have gone from my first amoled screen phone a galaxy s2 to s3, I gave my wife the s2 so I can hold the two sides by side and wave the phones side to side while holding my eyes still and I clearly notice the s2 screen drawing a solid light while the s3 looks like the screen is turning on and off at a very high speed, like if your using an old crt with 60hz.
Anyone else noticed this?
I imagine because generally speaking its not noticeable most of the time unless shake your eyes or shake the phone its a battery saving feature.
If power saving mode is active on your S3: turn it off
Custom rom, not using Samsung firmware. I have looked at my work mates s3 and it has this crt like flicker to, he has stock rom... And he won't let me root and custom rom his phone lol.
Chercked my S3 to see if it did this and it doesn't, no flicker at all but I don't have any motion settings turned on apart from rotate and no battery saving modes, maybe one of them is causing it.
As for what you cna do with your eyes, holding them and shaking them, now that's cool.
sorry for the bump...
But Im having this issue too. Its my 2nd s3 (first one had a yellow tint to it and I couldnt ignore it once I saw it) and my screen also flickers just like an old CRT at 60hz. The one with the yellow tint didnt seem to have this problem but I wasnt sure if it was how the screen was supposed to look when fully functional or if my eyes were going (pushing 30 lol).
Ive tried a factory reset. Ive tried checking Force GPU Rendering in 2D option. Ive tried a custom kernel and ROM. Im not sure what else to try!
I have the same issue with my galaxy note 2. But I don't find any solution to solve that yet
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.

I have the AT&T H900 V10 and I can't figure out how to keep the second screen from dimming when the main screen is off. It's so dim that I can't see it unless it's directory in front of my face, and no buttons seem to brighten it without during the main screen on. Is this something that can be changed? I'm not worried about battery life since it stays plugged in 99% of the time.

So far there doesnt seem to be any way to control this, other than covering the light sensor until the second screen goes off, then letting it come back on at greater brightness for 3 seconds or so until it dims again. Maybe LG is trying to make sure it doesn't drain battery but maybe they will adjust it with updates or give us control over it.
It pretty much makes the second screen useless as I can't see any notification without turning on the main screen.... and no LED light so this kind of makes me want to rage.
Brand new V30, just opened yesterday. Everything is running well except for a weird white flicker on the AOD. It's horizontal, from the edge in, about a sixth of the way across the screen. It doesn't flicker when anything else is on the screen but the AOD.
Any ideas?
Here's a video of the issue

I would replace the phone, thats is 100% not normal, i have had my phone for 4 months now and this has never happened to me. Just to rule it out you dont have any screen overlay apps running right,?
edit: also a factory reset wouldn't hurt.
Does this also happen in low brightbess?
Looks similar (just in very very small) like what my display had after i crashed with my bike ?
I forced gpu rendering in developer options and changed the aod display to the normal clock and then back and it seems one of those two things fixed it. will keep an eye on it though.
Came back briefly this morning. will continue to monitor.
I got it on eBay which makes returning/warranty stuff a little more annoying than usual.
