Pardon me if a thread already exists for this but I have tried to search but didn't find a thread describing this problem any where. Redirect me if you know of a thread like this.
So here is what I am experiencing. My One Max is a week old but from day one I have noticed that while i am typing a text message or email screen brightness increases a bit as soon as I hit any key on screen. Sometime it happens sometime it doesn't. I have also noticed that it only happens wherever key pops up on keyboard e.g E, R, G, O etc etc or it happens when I am scrolling messages or any thing which is in Black and White contrast (May it be messages or a web page with different dark and light pictures/rich text)
Mine is a brand new Stock Phone. No unlocked bootloader, or S-Off or Custom ROM or something of that sort. Brightness is at around 30%-40% in settings. Phone CID is HTC__J15 (Arab CID and International version).
I don't think its an hardware problem but wanted to share it with you guys and find a reason as well as a solution to it.
Cheers.
It sounds like your light sensor is adjusting itself very rapidly. I can't confirm if that's an hardware issue as your environment or fingers might have preventing light from falling on the sensor.
I would suggest you to ask a friend or a family member use your phone and see if that happens to them also, this way you could make out if your way of handling the phone is creating the issue or the hardware might be faulty.
Might be you were typing in a landscape mode.
When typing those letters, your left thumb blocks the light sensor.
If yes, then I would think It is normal.
It is just how do we use this beast.

As far as I know light sensor is right at the top with speaker. I dont use phone in a landscape mode.

Mine does this too. Vzw version. I have chosen to overlook it because there's too much I like about this phone.

I agree. This flickering doesn't matter to me too because this phone has so much more to offer that bit of a flickering wont bother me at all. I bought Note 3 for $710 and sold it right after 10 days for $600 because I didn't like touchwiz at all. But this One Max is an ultimate phone for me for next two years I believe
I've noticed it but only in low light situations. I just set my brightness at night or in dark places to eliminate the issue.

I have this too..... Just when brightness is from 0 - 24 % ( if flickers) (by higher back-light it is away - but it sucks, when you wanna watch movies in night You think it is a thing for reclamation? And have you too that the upperside of the lcd below the sensors and front camera is more white (from the back-light) than the lower side cca 1cm by the hardware buttons? you can see it in white background by web browsing.... etc...

No, I haven't noticed any brighter spot under front Cam or over hardware buttons. Don't have this problem at least in my phone but yes flickering is something that I notice regularly.
Its not something which bothers me in a great deal but I believe we must get a perfect product because we spend a serious amount of money at the time of purchase. In my country HTC One Max is for $700 and I believe this is a lot of money to spend on a phone at least.

It is on my phone bad back-light. (on upper-side you can see more white light from the light-tube... or what is there, down by hardware-buttons is instead less light it seems like burned out)
These two things with flickers - flickers less than the back-light worry's me.
You think it can be solved by reclamation on warranty repair. (i´m afraid that they say, ... this is normal by these kind of lcd) and they do nothing...
But i will it send because we are customers, and we payed not for a brick bud for high tech.... so i hope it well be good.
Before i had no problems with htc warranty's..... ( i try to show you pictures of it.... )

I certainly believe that this must be covered in warranty. None of us paid that much of an amount to own a faulty handset. If they tell you that all units are like that then you should take your money back and look for any other phone. My brother owns HTC One, my wife has HTC One X and they don't have this faulty backlight issue then how come it can be a default feature in HTC One Max.

Here are my photos of this issue... On the web-browser you can see, that it is everytime on just the lower side of the phone. On upper side you can see more light .... On the video is the issue for further epilepsy... Bottom line is that I use the phone in dark places so, internet browsing, movie watching, is not possible on zero backlight just from 26... 27% it's seems be to eliminated... But my eyes are after that like from welding. So be or not to be ..(welder or epileptic)

One Max screen brightness fluctuations
I noticed this to be the case on my One Max the first couple of weeks playing with it. i noticed at times the screen would get dimmer and dimmer. While it wasn't ovewhelmingly annoying, I decided to disable automatic brightness in settings-brightness and all my screen troubles went away! :victory:

In your video I can see that screen brightness changes and that happens to me too. This happens when webpage or movie has different Black and White contrast and screen goes kind of crazy as what it should do and there it starts kind of flickering. However, Screen Backlight Tubes problem in those photos that you posted earlier, I dont have that issue in my phone atleast. I belive that is something you should get your Unit fixed/replaced from HTC.

Thanks, i search now for a cheap android device for the weeks, when my MAX will be away .... My older phone DHD has my girlfriend, so now i search for a cheap android device and after that i send it ..... .
The flickers .... i see too the problem with the black - white contrast but the normal htc one has it not ... so i think they should work on it ..... and try to fix it ..... maybe could it by a software problem
I newer wanted samsung because of their amoled displays with they burnout - i had this on my phone on samsung omnia with windows mobile..... and the reclamation was a walk through the valley of darkness .... on the end, they told me ... that the oled-lcd how i have it on my phone is normal ... and there is nothing to repair .... ( he had white stripes in it too - so samsung and oled is for me a route to hell)

FLICKERS - HTC REPAIR SAIS THAT THAT IS A attribute
→ behavior
→ cast
→ characteristic NOT A THING TO REPAIR SO I ASK WHY IS THIS JUST UNDER 27 - 30% OFF BACKLIGHT VISIBLE - IT SHOULD BE EVERY-TIME THERE ... ( DISAPPOINTED.... BECAUSE NOWHERE IS WRITTEN THAT THE HTC ONE MAX HAS THIS BEHAVIOR .... HTC ONE HAS IT NOT .... SO SHOULD THE USERS OF ONE MAX USE A SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT ? WHERE IS THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTS IN THIS WORLD DISAPPOINTED - WE CAN GO IN THE MIDDLE AGE WHERE IS NO ELECTRICITY .... OR WHY USE A TOP END PRODUCT WHEN WE CAN USE SOMETHING FOR 40% OF THIS PRODUCT)
THE BACKLIGHT TUBES PROBLEM THEY SAID, THAT THEY SEE NOTHING ... SO I WAITED ON THE PICTURES AND IT IS THERE, HOW MANAGE IT NOW? (DISAPPOINTED AGAIN)
SAMSUNG NEWER .... AGAIN
HTC I THINK NEWER AGAIN TOO THE DAYS ARE GONE WITH THE QUALITY
LG.... OR SONY ... MAYBE ... BUT .... LG WITHOUT THE SD CARD ....
unbelievable
Has anyone else faced with the issue of display not working properly in K20 Pro?
I started facing few problems from day 1, though the problems were minor like
.
[Problem 1] When using the phone with dark mode on or with absolute black background with 0-25% brightness the screen didnt respond well to on screen movements. Like when scrolling, the items on the screen produced a blue shadow on black backgrounds.
I thought this was due to Xiaomi's usage of cheap & low quality Super Amoled displays. Im not sure if it is as i thought it is or due to some other reasons.
[Problem 2] after 25-27 days of usage the ambient disolay started to switch of automatically after a few seconds of locking the screen. And when i tries to unlock the screen by fingerprint, te scanner didnt work. I had to push the lock button and then the screen switched on after 4-5 seconds of pressing the button(i was pressing the button only once and not holding it).
I still dont know why did this happen (I'll update soon)
[Problem 3] after 2-3 days of the problem 2 one fine morning my screen went dark.... Like completely blank, although i tried switching on and off multiple times but the screen didnt show a single hope to turn on.
So i took iit to the service centre and found out that there were many people with the same problem. Most of them being the first launch sale buyers(including me).
SERVICE CRNTRE told me that there was instructions from the comoany(Xiaomi) to collect all the Faulty screen K20 Pro's and provide a new sealed box within 1 week. Providing that there are no signs of external damage to the handset. Peoole will have to suubmit the box and its contents with the phone.
So Yaaay! For that but Naaay! For xiaomi for producing soo many faulty handsets out of the factory.
I'm writing this post as there are no posts regarding this issue on the internet and i was shocked when my phone went dark.
i’m facing problem 1 too
but no touch issue or burning for me
mine is China 6/128gb variant
1st batch
Bought Redmi Note 7 Pro from flipkart, got delivered 2nd October. After 13 days a vertical hair like black line(from the selfie camera to the home button) suddenly came up, while the phone was in my hand( i was using messenger at that exact moment). Rebooted the phone(line was still there in the boot screen), didn't work. I didn't accidentally drop it nor that i used it in any improper way. As per the replacement policy i cant replace the phone now, i haven't went to the customer service center yet but I'm not into screen replacement because its a new phone. Can i demand a full replacement for this device? And what can usually cause such issue?
I am not authorized to post a picture link, because im a new user.
Hello,
not a good week so far, had 39,5°C feever for 3 days and today the first day nearly back to live i unfortunately dropped my phone in the kitchen at home Mi8 dropped first touch unresponsive but after 2h of trying to fix it it turned black suddenly.
dropped about 1m but obisously to the unresponsive touch it was hard enough to break it.
I checked online for replacement screens and the cost about 100€ in Germany so i am not quite sure it this pays off in the end.. did anyone revitalize a unresponsive touch screen?
Can i access the phone screen from a mac and controll it frome there. I have sensitive banking date on the phone and want to securely swipe all data. I can´t pay any bill without the phone because its 2FA devicee?
Can i access the phones data/clone it to a new phone, maybe mi9 or even better the mi10 if its released that fast
Thanks

I'm crossposting this from the g8 stylus forum -- if this isn't allowed, please let me know, but as this devices forum has more active members and posters, and the devices internals are practically identical, I thought I'd give it a chance.
Hello all -- has anyone else been experiencing screen retention? I've had this phone *brand new* , not refurbished or used, or a little but over 3 months now, and it has noticable burn-in from the status bar.
I rarely use this phone outdoors / max brightness, and I was wondering if anyone else experienced this, because I'm disappointed from how 3 months of use can easily show on a brand new phone. It's much more pronounced than my 2 year old Moto G7 power.
Do I have a dud, or something wrong with my screen? I have a protector, a good case, and have kept my device well cared for. I'm considering sending it back to Motorola if i manage to unroot it and lock the bootloader back up.
A photo is attached here, it's more noticable in real life so I apologise for the poor quality.
Did this happened over night or over a period of time? Also, is it possible to show another picture with the whole phone? I'm having trouble grasping what is happening to your screen.
I had the same thing happen on the 30th with my g power. Ghost images of the top bar and a large rectangle in the middle of the screen. I turned off my screensaver when charging and disabled display peek for now. The retention has gone away but I have no idea what caused it. I never use full brightness and usually only have the screen on for 10 minutes or less.
i have the same issue with my moto g8 power (model 3), i use it almost always on full brightness since may 2020, sometimes it will happen, sometimes won't
same here mot g7 2 min with facebook and boom
