Sorry if I'm posting on the wrong area of the forum.
Hello Guys, My Stratos is pretty new(lesse than one week) and it was working fine until yesterday, during morning I received some notification for an upgrade and I executed(now its running 2.3.4). During the night I did my 2nd fully recharge, after remove from cradle I verified its not working properly.
Main problems
- Touchscreen is not responsive as used to be
- Screen is flicking
- Some menus like configurations and notifications are going up and down crazy.
I did some videos, but unfortunately as a new user of this forum I'm not allowed to post external URLs.
Thanks for any idea and help
Factory reset?
Thanks for your response, already tried Factory Reset. But keeps the same.

Unless the manufacturer can offer any advice, might need to return it.
Screen flickering and ghost touches are either caused by dirty on screen or defect. If it's new then probably it's the second one...
I really hope I can found some solution by myself, If I had to return it to manufacturer I`ll probably have a great financial loss once I'm in Brazil and I`ll probably have to pay freight and taxes.
Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your response. I have cleaned it many times... No luck
I was thinking about load any different ROM, Do you think it could help?

Did you finally solve it?

Unfortunately NO.
After contact with manufacturer they asked me to ask support to seller.
The Seller, GearBest, asked me to return the product to China and after some review they would send me a new one, but with all transport and taxes under my account. I already had brazilian tax of 50% of the value when 1st one arrived.
So, this has become financially infeasible. it would not be worth it anymore. I decided to live with the problem never using the touch and using the device just to run.
You can try to unlock the bootloader and to flash newest stock or custom Rom

hi i have atrix like over a year, and last week i had some little bugs with the touchscreen. there is some places in the touch screeen that dont respond so good and i heard there is a patch that fix that bug or there some trick. i looked in google and i didnt found them
i have recently changed my rom to epinter ics 10 and the rom work great and even i got some little improvment on the touch screen but it still work Every now and then bad so if you can link me a guide or something i will be glad
This sounds to me like a digitizer issue. I have an atrix, but only use it as a spare issue, however ive had several phones with similar issues and they were all resolved by replacing the digitizer.

I agree with cloudraker. I've had 3 atrix phones, and the digitizers are a weak spot. I would check and see if you are still under warranty. Motorola is very good about this and replaces the phone usually. I had one that was not in warranty, and they replaced that as well. Good luck.
Careful though. Motorola is indeed usually generous about this, but there's a price to pay - you will more than likely end up with a non-unlockable bootloader.

That is a possibility, however I sent in two, and got back two that i was able to unlock. Don't know what the chances are, but that is my experience.
Kind of like Russian roulette......... lol

I haven't done the digitizer, but I have done a number of other parts. The atrix is a very easy phone to tear down. I'm sure there is a YouTube video for digitizer replacement. That would certainly be the cheaper way to go......

The issue is about screen getting glitched output. I don't think this is a software issue. There is some hardware issue because I tried flashing 5.0, 5.0.2, 5.1.1 still problem persists. Randomly at any time the glitched screen like seen in the pic is popped up in between from any app or just home screen. First i thought some app may be causing this but its not the issue. I deleted all the apps still this problem stays.

I've been spreading word in xda about the same issues. If you search the Q/A forum, you'd find too many people having this issue. This is due to a faulty GPU when the device heats up excessively. Recurrent issue in a Nvidia chip. If you bought it recently within 30 days on eBay, I'd suggest you return your device and claim your money back. Else I'm afraid you are screwed since neither HTC nor Google offer warranty if purchased through unofficial sources in India.

Now that what i feared. Let me see if they will take this back. Anyway thanks for the info that was really helpful
Unfortunately your Nexus 9 is toast. This happened to my first one and it got so bad it would happen during boot and I couldn't get any further. HTC was next to unless. Delt with them for 3 weeks trying to get an exchange. They are clueless. They wanted to try flashing stock image over and over. I'm like dude, I'm a Nexus owner. Don't you know your customer base? Anyways, best buy agreed to exchange it for a new one if I bought their premium protection plan, which I did gladly. But it is a hardware failure. There's no fixing it.
I just had my day one nexus replaced for the same issue last week. Had been getting worse for months. I called warranty service, told them about the screen corruption/noise/lockup issue needing a mainboard replacement. sent my tablet back and they overnited me a replacement that appears brand new (mine was mint condition as well). Still has lightbleed and so-so buttons but works great and I've put it through its paces. Only thing I had to tell them was the serial # but I was the original amazon purchaser.
Is it a newer build date than your original?
I had an experience similar to techiedj's. Got my old N9 replaced by Google a few weeks ago. Replacement looked brand new, but is actually an older built with slightly crappier buttons. Curious how long this one will last now...
These are the symptoms that I saw: At some point the screen started to flicker for a few seconds, then froze, and slowly turned black. After a few second I could turn on the display again. The area on the back next to the camera had become hot, but apps that read the sensor values did not really show high temperature (50 degrees or so). A good way to trigger it was to open Chrome and open multiple pages in a short time (opening different links in new tabs). Surprisingly, seemingly GPU intense games were less affected by this than Chrome. Factory reset did not help, even when I skipped the initial login/restore apps step.
Hopefully they aren't all doomed to this fait at some point. I have best buys replacement plan now, so this this can die early Jan 2017 and I'll get whatever the new Nexus is then.
Not really. HT4AJ I think it was, HT4AY on this one.

I went from an AE to an AF. Hard to believe best buy still had old stock, but I guess they didn't sell a lot of these. Buttons are nearly perfect on this one though. Way more tactile and the volume up isn't sunken in.
I sent my 5x to the factory for repair of 2 issues. They fixed one issue but not the other and sent it back to me.
Everything on home screen shows up as "ghosting" images on all dark screens (ie: notifications, quickstart and dialer screens). So I get ghosts of all the home screen icons, google search bar, and my screen saver. They are whitish but have a little color. They get stronger as the display is turned up. Huawei is claiming it isn't an issue, but that it's normal and even sent me photos of this ghosting effect on the 5x they keep at the call center for reference (same OS and build as mine). I admit it looks similar to mine. Two supervisors said they see it on their own phones: a Lumia 950 and an iPhone 7. It showed up on my phone about 2 weeks after I upgraded to Marshmallow and was not there before. I've never seen this on any other phone. So they are implying I need to live with it because it's "normal" for this model. Comments please? I think they should have sent me a new phone.
Please check your phones and see if you have this ghosting effect also. If you do it will be obvious, not subtle.
do you have any screenshots showing it?

I had the same problem here running on EMUI 6.1.
after i played a game called BBTAN on my phone for a long time and i clicked it away to go to whatsapp or something, you could see the highscore of the game and some other stuff of it very vagely in the other app screens.
I thought it had to do with the heating up of the device and display after playing a game for like a long time... BUT...
I was allready planning to unlock my phone and upgrade to LineAgeOS (Cyanogenmod) 14.1 because i didnt like EMUI. SO, upgraded the software 2 weeks ago and never had the issue anymore ever since.... Very weird...
most probably the software issue, can be solved by either a factory reset or flashing any other custom rom

Thanks for the reply. It was in my spam folder so I didn't find it until now.
I've never heard of EMUI 6.1. Is it possible you mean Android 6.1? To my knowledge, EMUI only goes up to 4.1 When I upgraded my phone to Android 6.0.1 in November, I didn't have the issue at first. About 2 weeks later it appeared. It has not gotten any worse, but their "repair" did nothing to fix it at all. And they did not include a note with any explanation, nor did they include the note I was promised explaining what they did do to the phone.
I am not comfortable with rooting my phone (I don't want to lose the warranty and I don't know what I'm doing). I don't think it should be necessary to root a phone to fix an issue like this. The company should either be able to fix it or replace the phone. I refuse to accept their (most recent) explanation that it is "normal", as I've never seen it on another phone and the first 3 agents I discussed it with agreed that it was indeed an issue and offered to start an RMA for it.
Yesterday I called them again to complain about the situation. The agent said she was "escalating" (I always groan when agents say this because it ends up being meaningless) the case and that I would hear back from administration after they hear back from tech support---which could take up to 2 weeks, believe it or not. I can live with the glitch, but when I decide to sell the phone eventually I'm concerned it will potentially kill the sale or encourage someone to offer less than the phone is worth.

I have re-set it several times since encountering the issue with no success. I am not comfortable rooting the phone. I am trying to get a new RMA started, and in the meantime I'm hoping Nougat is released OTA soon and that it will help.
The reason for my original post was mainly to see how many other 5x owners have encountered the same issue. I want to know if this in an inherent problem with the phone, if the Marshmallow upgrade may have caused it (it didn't appear on my phone right away after upgrading to Marshmallow, but it did appear about 2 weeks afterwards).

Thanks for the reply. Supposedly they already did release Nougat a few months ago but there were issues with it and they halted it. They keep telling me they will be releasing it again. So who knows?
I already did send it in to them for repair of two issues, this one and another. They fixed the other issue and sent the phone back to me with no explanation. I'm trying to get another RMA started and this time I will right on top of them about this. Unfortunately they make it impossible to communicate directly with their service center and I was told the service center is very slow returning communications to the administration or CS.

I'm not confused. It's what 2 different CSRs told me.
But that isn't why I made this post, and it's off-topic. There is only one point: Do you own an Honor 5X, and if so, do you have the same ghosting problem on dark screens that I have? I would love to get some responses from 5x owners. I have tried uploading pictures of it onto here, but am not able to. But this is a very obvious thing on my phone so you wouldn't need pictures if it occurs on your phone. You would know.
Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.
Yes buddy, I have it too... I verified with 2 other poco f1's

Well that just sucks. When did you get the replacement? I raised a request on the 5th of Sept coz I felt maybe a diff lot may not have the issue. Its funny coz some units dont have this issue (like the one posted here). I guess its like 6 out of 10 are reporting this.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

P.S. I went back to my old device so I havent tried the steps mentioned in the tweet.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.
Has anybody checked out their timeline on Google Maps or any other apps such as sport activity tracking like Runkeeper?
Since I started using my UK bought CPH1919 last week, it appears there are GPS points missing so routes look like a lot of long straight lines as opposed to the actual directions I took.
I'm using the 'high accuracy' setting for location & so not sure what could be causing this issue but it's a big problem for me.
Has anyone else noticed this issue or got any thoughts?
Cheers.
I also noticed this recently but i have not investigated yet. Might be power savings ? Maybe we should try with power saving off to see if it solves the problem (and then get the issue to oppo)
I've turned off Smart Power Saver so now there are no battery efficiency settings set on my phone - will see how things go.
I have queried the issue with Oppo UK on Twitter but after 2 days, they have failed to reply.....
Still no better for me after toggling with the different battery settings as outlined above, as well as a new Maps update & phone firmware update!
And still no Twitter response from Oppo.......

No response from Oppo, tried everything I could think of so took it back to the shop. They were non-the-wiser so I'm going back tomorrow to swap for another.
Fingers crossed it was just a bug in the one I had!
What version do you have? I had the green option, I'm now getting the black due to a delay in availability of the green.
Got the black version. Not sure the color is playing a part here but please do tell if the new unit is acting the same !

Can you please link me your tweet so i can back it up ? Maybe we should ask directly to the main oppo account.
I tried a private message via facebook to oppo france, they seem to be active.

Try that.
After some research, it seems the problem might not be related to oppo. Or at least not entirely.

Yeah, I'm aware of this issue, it doesn't really happen in my City but I have had occurrences. In fact, when I was tracking my parents recently while they were shopping in town, they were showing as 200 miles away!
The problem I've been facing is there aren't enough GPS points recorded so my true route is not recorded - most annoying when I go for a run & obviously all the timings are out. My previous Huawei phone didn't have a problem & even my Nokia N95 from 2007 was better than this!
UPDATE: new phone appears to be exactly the same so far......
I there anyone else having issues with location info??!
Ok. I tweeted the issue to the main Oppo account.
