Flash LED fluctuations

My flash led fluctuates when I take a photo or use it as a flashlight. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Not for me...tried both camera and flashlight.

Yeah I experience this also when I'm recording video while the flash is on.. But it works well when I'm using this on my flashlight app..

I've had the issue before.... I thought I was seeing things cuz of the quick flickerings

Yes I have it too.
I haven't taken any videos with flash but the flashlight does it, sometimes it's steady but I notice it half of the time.

Gosh. Too many problems. I wouldn't have spend this much for a defective phone. I'm disappointed.

Every LED flash does this. There's nothing wrong.

I think you didn't understand. It flickers while using the flashlight or while it's in use. I know that while taking a photo it will flash once for autofocus. I'm not referring to that.

Well clearly, thats not normal. Return it....

It is normal. The LED flash for every phone I've used does the exact same thing, jittering and flickering a little bit when keeping the flash on like when using it as a flashlight. My X10 did the same thing, but it's only slight flickering, nothing major. 100% normal, they aren't meant to be kept on for any large amount of time.

Mine does the same thing if I leave the flashlight on for more than 30 seconds

Hahah mine does the same thing but I suppose it was never supposed to be a flashlight.
I was thinking it was something to do with the quick succession flash it is supposed to deliver normally.

Screen problem

OK, I've only noticed this now, but as you can see by the image, the right side of the screen seems like, well I dont how to explain it. Anyone know what it is, possibly how to fix it?

I think the word your looking for is normal.
Lol
But seriously i dont see anything wrong
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2

I don't see anything wrong either. Is there something physically wrong with the screen? Screenshots won't show that obviously.

Unless you mean that the screen is shifted to the right, then the screen is fine. If it is because of shifting to the right, it might be more of an app issue not hardware.

same
I've got this issue, seems to be software related for me. It renders parts of the screen (ONLY grey area in settings, only place where I can get this colour atm). I will try re-flashing stock roms and trying different things to see if this issue can be fixed.

It's the background gradient in the settings. A solution would be to find the image and replace it. You'll have to dig through some apks though.

Stop... MUFFIN TIME!!!

Its a Google software issue.. Alot of people have the same problem even if they don't realize it

If you look closely its on every Nexus 7, it's just Google being weird with the gradients.

Go to Settings\Accessability and disable talk back or something similar. This features are for disabled people, dunno how you enabled it by mistake.

that's the proximity sensor, which you can't see with your naked eye but you can film it.

GREEN TINT IN S4 i9500

I am using my s4 from past 20 days but today i noticed whenever i open keyboard to type something a slight green tint occurs on the display it is very visible while using the phone in dark environment with zero brightness and with higher brightness levels its not that clear but still it is there ... i got rid of smearing issue courtesy screen adjuster app but this issue is bothering me .... anyone else having the same issue plz let me know.

Haven't noticed this on my I9505, try using another keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

I'm having this issue and it's doing my head in!
Every time I bring up the on screen keyboard the hue changes slightly to greeny tone. Then back again when keyboard goes.
I'm surprised not more people mention it.
The easiest way I found to see it was ten brightness right down, go to a dark room and open play store. Touch on the search bar to bring up recent searches and keyboard, then hit the back button, then touch touch bar again, then the back button. Keep doing this so your toggling keyboard on and off and watch the whole screen shift tone.
I'd love to know if it's an issue across the board or if only a few phones are affected.

I am facing the exact issue bro but i hope it will be a software related issue but i am also worried that may be we have defective handsets because very few people raised voice against this issue so it means that most users are not suffering from this issue.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Is this for the stock keyboard? I'm using SwiftKey though.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

I tried with other keyboard and its still there
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

It's got nothing to do with the keyboard.
If you watch a movie on you tube (black and white is best) put to full screen and wait for slider to dissappear, then tap screen to bring it back. The hue changes to green!
It's whenever the screen has to bring something up like a keyboard, menu, slider etc.
Come on guys please can you test this so we know it's a problem on all handsets like smearing or if it's a hardware fault in a few handsets.

What auto tinting option ?? Where is it ??
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Lol there is no 'auto tinting' option. If you mean adjust screen tone, it makes no difference.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app

This happens on kernels based on MDN below,
anything above MDM the tint issue is fixed.

On ME2 firmware and I experience the same issue. It feels kinda like a 'flicker'.

I have same keyboard tint problem too and its bugging me. Is it a sw or hw issue? Can it be fixed?

mostly all people have this problem & I was worried too about this. But update your phone. you should get a new update notification by now.! I already updated and it fixes this problem. and the smearing issue as well. And then you can also move your apps to sd!!!!!:victory:

Hi, just got my replacement after having some overheating problems and noticed this problem on the new one. I'm pretty sure is the screen, and not a software problem. Mine looks yellowish/greenish on the bottom. I downloaded Screen Test app and notice the problem. I have some pics showing the color differences along the screen. I'll go for another replacement tomorrow.

Renowned xda member bala gamer said that after installing MEA update this green tint issue is gone

Display of black weird

Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.

Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.

I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.

I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.

Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.

I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see

Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.
