Hi people
I'm having this problem whereby certain times when performing actions during video playback (or even viewing images sometimes) I'll get the 'white horizontal lines fade in' bug. I've taken a logcat. This was switching from Viral Pro to the Recents screen. I'm using Frankenbiker's CM11 build, April 3rd. Is there any solution to this?
P.S. The video watched was 720p, direct streamed from YouTube. I had no other apps open.

Hello,
so I noticed that the default YouTube had a button with two arrows, that when viewing videos in landscape mode you could press, so that video zooms in a bit, so there is no black bars on the sides.
But with YouTube app update the button disappeared!
1. So have you noticed it?
2. And what can be done about it, or who could be contacted about it?
To view videos with truly full screen was really nice! I want that back!

Try to pinch your screen like you want to do zoom, it will become full screen

I used the open HDR version and it's working fine with HDR (can't remember the link, I just searched Xdev)

Can you send me a link
Is there any kind of on-screen notification to show that it is showing HDR content? I have tried some HDR videos on Youtube (I don't have Netflix) and the videos look the same to me - on my TV the difference is obvious when it is playing HDR stuff.
I have just swapped my LG screen for a BOE screen and the colours look a lot less vibrant in normal use, so wanted to test out some HDR footage to see if it made any difference - otherwise I'll be sending it back in the hope of getting an LG screen without issues!

With this version it at least shows me that HDR is available on certain content. But I don't see much of a difference playing it.

When playing an HDR video from YouTube your screen should go to full brightness, that's normally an indication it has switched to HDR mode.

I get the HDR logo on content even from the official app, but I don't think it plays in HDR mode.
Mine doesn't go to full brightness. Just tried streaming Black Panther in 4k HDR and it looks awful - very dark and colours are not popping out half as much as they did on my previous HTC U11 which didn't have an OLED screen. Think I'll be returning this one next week in the hope of getting a (fixed) LG screen!
It definetely changes the screen settings while playing HDR content. The red of the netflix search bar etc. changes noticably but I can not really see any difference in the content.
But I heard opinions, that HDR on a Smartphone is not really noticeable and made little sence.
Out of interest, is yours a BOE or LG screen?
I also noticed the reds go very garish on the menu of my streaming software, but the actual film stayed normal colour.
just check.... our mates have widevine lv1 so it should be playing 4k and hdr.... maybe huawei somehow just disabled to show hdr content?!

Seeing if you are playing a video in HDR is quite easy actually. Just press a volume button and you should notice the blue tones are... well... more blue. Another thing to do is trying to adjust the brightness of your screen.
Oh and when playing a HDR video on youtube, switch between landscape mode (fullscreen) and vertical mode (the mode where the video is only on the top of the screen).
-edit- The underlined part is for the Mate 20 Pro. Maybe the bar is also affected on LG? Anyway, there are two more (general) tips so you should be able to find out.
Another thing is that I noticed Netflix is now offering HDR on the Mate 20 Pro, but it doesn't look HDR to me. It is definitely going to HDR-mode as I can clearly see (as what I described above) the difference in color blue of the volume bar. But hey, does an already bright and saturated OLED display need HDR? Except for the wider color gamut of-course, which is really lovely on the video's with HDR on YouTube. Sometimes, with some scenes and probably specific colors, I find the display kind of 3D-isch. Which is very nice

Does the volume and brightness thing still hold true. I just got a replacement and the volume bar colour doesn't change anymore and It doesn't go to fully bright automatically like it did before. Content also looks same as my other none hdr phone.
Loving Huawei atm. On my 6th phone...
HDR for this phone is coming by Emiu related. I'm on. 153 version on later version there is support for HDR Netflix, is not related to the Netflix app, no its based on version of EMIU LATER THEN 153

I just checked it for you and come to find that it's different now.
TL;DR:
The answer is no, the brightness can now be changed and will not be set to max while in HDR mode and the blue of volume bar is hardly noticeable now (it's a lighter shade of blue now while in HDR mode).
This is on my YouTube app:
- Brightness can be adjusted now (before it was maxed out)
- The saturation of the blue in the volume bar is another hue, much less noticeable. Before it would to change to a darker tone (yet brighter, thanks to the HDR) of blue. Now it's a lighter tone of blue. Much less noticeable in my opinion.
You can check if a video on YouTube is playing in HDR by checking the quality it's playing in. It should say HDR after the resolution. If you question if the video is actually playing in HDR (despite it saying it's hdr), I recommend (I'm can't post links yet): paste this after youtube.com "/watch?v=tO01J-M3g0U&t=21s" . The image of the cheetah shouldn't have blown out white on it's belly, the details should remain visible in it's fur. To really check if the richer colors of HDR are being applied, I suggest comparing some hdr content with a monitor (not a TV as they use image enhancers).
As for Netflix:
- I didn't notice any difference, except for the volume bar having this brighter blue now. But that's because the volume bar isn't controlled by an app but by the system itself. So that's as expected.
- Not noticing a difference on Netflix isn't necessarily a bad thing. A movie might not have/want those popping colors of HDR (I'm comparing to the flashy HDR samples on YouTube for this, like the one I gave earlier). Also having an OLED screen is already what you might call "HDR" (having dark blacks and bright whites, while being able to see all the details in between the dark and light), it's only a matter of a wider color gamut to produce more popping colors, which again, might be different in the movie industry compared to the samples of HDR on YouTube. To truly test this, one should test it with an LCD screen.
Hello friends,
It is normal that regardless of the options that I choose in the camera app, the video always shows that way ???

The embed video doesn't work for me. Here is a direct link:

The noise in the video could be because of low light. Try in a brighter area such as outside.

It's definitely because of low light. At low light it will look like what you showed which is normal for this type of camera sensor but with light it's fine. Anyway i would say the video experience on this phone is average, if you are getting this phone for video i would suggest you reconsider if you have the option to otherwise it's a great phone.

Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:
https://imgur.com/a/Va3l5fQ
I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.
www.dxomark.com
My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue... though it's not for every video, just in certain programs/websites.
Cheers.
I've been able to remedy this in chrome by turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options.
It's still an issue in Google Photos.

Sorry if I didin't understand it at first, the toggle to disable HW Overlays in the developer options will always turn off again, at least in Pixel 6, so that's what confused me

Huh it stays on on note 10 . In that case i am not shure how u can keep it on. Can u elaborate on when it turn itself off back again?
Weird, after I turn it on, I can go to any other screen on the phone, if I come back the toggle it´s off again, maybe it´s a bug on my end, here´s the example
