When I open the menu of Chrome (where you select new tab etc) my screen turns black and flickers with a blue screen, same with Twitter (opening menu too), not all the time but like 75% of the time. I'm running stock 5.1 with Squid Kernel r7f , XT1527, someone also having this problem?
Not exactly , but when I open my CHROME DEV, a red borders it and goes away , anyway related?

Maybe something similar, anyone also having this problem/problems?
If I enable "Disable HW overlays" in developer options the screen flickering goes away, any idea?
Has anyone figured this out yet? I have same problem - chrome, xt1524 with 5.1 from xt1527, squid kernel, xposed.

The title says it. I made a completely black picture on my PC, and use it as the background for the stock lockscreen. Despite this, there's a brownish horzontal banding across the bottom of the screen that fades upwards across a third of the screen, when it should be black! I thought this was a screen deficiency at first, but then i saw that this banding isn't there when i display black images in the gallery or anywhere else except for the lock screen.
Build GINGERBREAD.XWKE1 stock ROM, rooted, Kernel XWKE2.
1. Does everyone else have this?
2. Does it go away with an alternative lockscreen?
3. Are there usually this many bugs on new Android-devices, as there evidently are on the SGS2?

I changed to a black blackground too a while ago.
As I found out it is actually better for your battary to have a black background.
look here http://blog.stevemould.com/phone-battery-save-black-wallpaper
just read the article on that.
Anybody experience this issue on your XTZ?
The camera app does not start the camera. It just goes to a dark grey screen with subtle background details (similar to some sort of menu UI).
I'm able to click the date menu, multi-windows menu ok. It just seems like the camera won't turn on.
I tried restarting the app and restarting the tablet but still the same thing; it gets stuck at the dark grey screen.
Any idea how to fix it?
I recently updated my i9300 to paranoid android to 3.97 and I'm having two issues... First one is that apps that have border ads down the bottom.. Facebook.. Cheeseburger.. Astromanager etc if you take your finger Off the screen the screen turns black with only the ad showing..... The other issue is that the screen brightness can't decide if it's full of low. You press the power button the lock screen comes on Instantly dims.. Doesn't matter if light Meter is covered or light shining on it.. Disabled all power options.. Auto brightness is off... Tried lux app set all to 100% still dims.. When you run it after the screen dims it shows still being 100% touch the maximum and it comes back again.... Anyone have ideas. Googled ads but came up with nothing for black screen issue... Tried other solutions for the brightness issue still no luck.

Go to PA Q&A thread next time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819
Due to lack of graphic driver on 4.3, the black screen thing could appear. There are two+ solutions:
1. follow this step by dontwannabehere

The fix is the following:
On your build prop file
There should be a line that says something like this " hwui.render dirty regions = false "
Just add the word debug at the beginning of the line "debug.hwui. render..... "

for your first problem: the glitches should have been solved with newest cm sources. But look in your build.prop if you have the entry "hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" if yes then change it to "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" without the " " )
for the second problem I cannot help you, as I am not using paranoid. Look if there is an update or ask in the paranoid Q&A thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819 (you could also have asked there your questions )
EDIT: sorry. I am ALWAYS to slow in writing aaargh
Appreciate the quick response... I tried the build.prop editing and this is where it got interesting... I cant edit it ... I've tweaked in the past with ES file explorer or root explorer but on this occasion the apps wont allow it ...does not allow the changes to be saved.... checked the root and thats fine, busybox is installed and working fine... my workaround was to tweak build.prop of the 3.97 rom of PA and apply it it from recovery.... this seems to have fixed the black screen in apps... so thanks for that.
I also just grabbed the 3.99 nightly of PA and build.prop already has the change applied, applying now.... result seems the brightness quirk is still there ... I tried the android sensor app and the lux settings seem to be correct so the light sensor is performing as expected the brightness is just not doing what its told... even if I set it to automatice brightness change the sensitivity and apply 100% to all different lux settings it just ignores it and dims the screen regardless... !!
Hi!
This is my first post at xda, so first i'd like say welcome to all community .
Ok, lets back to the topic. So, few weeks ago I noticed a strange artefact (or something like that, I don't know how to really name it) on screen, it usually appears when I pull down status bar, especially on app with white background, its looks similar to this (screenshot in attachments) but its only white and black, it appears on bottom part of the screen, like a straight line, coming from left to right, I can't get a screenshot of this coz it appears only for a second, then dissapear. Firstly it appeared when I was using a dirt unicorns ROM, then I switched to SlimBean ROM with the Temasek kernel, but it also appeared on stock kernel. Should I ignore it, or it is damaged screen or GPU and is there any chance to fix it?
Oh, and sorry for bad English .
Thats a screen setup or testing picture probably an app or the display settings .

Is anyone experiencing problems typing with the infinite screen on? I'm using stock version, Oreo, Miui 10.2.2...
it seems that at times, a small system bug, where it seems that he thinks I'm using the normal navigation, in the middle of the typing, ends up leaving or going to the home screen ...
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

Yes, same here. But in my case the screen just flickers for a moment instead of going to home screen

I switched back to the original Android navigation buttons ... I'm going to test to see if it gives the same problem
