Turn off your auto brightness in the settings. Mine does the same thing. I've never seen an Android device with smooth brightness adjustments. My HTC One was pretty awful, too.

Please don't tell me the 2013 suffers the same fate as the first version. My main reason why I want to upgrade mine to 2013 because mine flickers if I am in a dark room.

Holy crap I turned it off and now its flickering constantly at about 30%. And the full screen blackout flickering still persists. I think this one gotta go back.

Try set it above 30% of total brightness. That did the trick on my first gen.

Here's my post from Reddit...
Purchased 2013 Nexus 7 on Thursday and have run into a concerning issue.
When the screen's brightness is set to less than approximately 50%, I've noticed considerable screen flickering and less occasionally the screen goes black for half a second. I thought originally the problem was unique to chrome but I am noticing the issue system wide now. The tablet is set to manual brightness control, as well.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone shed some light on what I'd causing this phenomenon and/or how to fix it?

This is exactly the same problem I have. Will order another one from a different reseller to make sure different batch. It happened as soon as I took the tablet out of box so I don't think its a software problem.
I don't have this issue on my new Nexus. I did have it with the first generation model.

I had some flickering as well, but it was intermittent. I read somewhere about what people may have done for the problem with the original N7 and one of the suggested solutions was to turn off Wifi Optimization. I did that...and mysteriously, I haven't suffered from the flickering issue since. I'm not exactly sure what one may have to do with the other, but it has worked for me as far as I can tell.
I have seen it as well only on auto dim. Looks like a bad proximity sensor. But it comes and goes. Some apps worse than others. Tapatalk being one. Tried the WiFi trick above, doesn't work for me.

Don't ever attempt to set brightness to below 30% if you're experiencing this problem. I did just to see how it'd go, didn't go well. Screen flickered a bit then went black (or just really really dark). Had to reboot. Staying above 50% brightness solves the constant flickering problem, but I still get that millisecond screen blackout. Hopefully second one coming from Amazon is better than this. No dead pixel though, so that's a good start.
Got a new unit and problem does not exist, so old one was definitely defective. Screen does not flicker when set at even 20%.
Mine does none of this, mad dim or auto dim there is no flicker. Perhaps anyone with this problem should exchange asap.

I have the screen flicker issue when I enable auto brightness. If I disable auto brightness and leave brightness level above 30% then I am good to go. I am not satisfied with this workaround so I am going to try to get an exchange at Best Buy as soon as they have more in stock.
It is strange last night, I manually slid the brightness slider below 30% and it was able to dim properly whereas it would in my case go completely dark. But as soon as I tried the auto brightness, it would start to act up again. It gets to the point where I have to try to turn the screen off and on several times before I can even get a chance to disable the auto brightness again.
I am glad to hear that this issue is limited and that I can get a good unit and that this issue is hardware related and not software.
I have return my first Nexus because of bad flickering above 50%. It seems like a senor issue. With the second Nexus, I am using it in a dark room tonight on auto brightness without any flickering issue.

To start off, I just got the nexus 4 a couple days ago. Sold my Note 2, bought a phone and a Acer Transformer.
Anyways. My phone is rooted with Orca rom. What I am finding is I can't see the screen at all outside. It was doing this stock so its not the rom. The light sensor works, it does dim inside but outside it doesn't allow it to get bright enough.
I'm forced to manually crank the brightness up in order to use the phone outdoors.
Could this be a defective phone, or is this a common problem? And I'm aware of the contrast issue, but this is not the case. Its simply too dark

Normal behavior. I just manually crank mine up when needed. :good:
Ive found auto brightness on any phone I have used to be 97.4% crap. That is why I run Switchpro with a button that cycles between 0%->60%->100% brightness.
The issue with brightness sensors is they use the sensor facing you, which is basically adjusting the brightness for the phone looking at you, not looking at the phone.
Never had this issue with any other phone I've owned. And I've owned a few.
Is there a ROM that has the light sensor settings? I cant remember if that's CM or not.

Most phones that I've used in general have poor auto-brightness. My One X is good and my iPhone 5 was decent about it, but my GNex and Nexus 4 are both a bit conservative with their auto-brightness. I've found that Lux from the Play Store works much better. I would recommend that you and anyone else having this problem give it a try. You can set it up to work as you wish if the app's default settings are too bright or too dim. It's very nice.
I've had my Nexus 4 for about 3 months now, and I'm starting to have a serious issue with image persistence on the screen. As of recently it has gotten very bad, and when I browse Chrome for 5 minutes, and flick the tab away, revealing the brown-grey screen, I can see the URL bar along with the URL address burnt on to the screen. It seems to go away after a while, but actually if I turn the brightness up to maximum and look it is still there. Does anyone else suffer from this same problem?
I haven't yet but I'd say get Screen test set it to the white test setting set your phone to not turn off screen when charging an leave over night that might help clear the screen burn. I haven't had this issue on any of my androids.
Simply; yes. I think that's a bit more widespread issue than one could think.
What I have noticed is it eventually does clear. But it seems to be taking longer and longer to do so. Right now (it has been about 30 minutes) the URL bar and the address has gone, but there is still a white patch where they were. I've read about IPS-LCD image persistence, but most sites say it clears after about two minutes.
zero burn in here, ive have mine for about a month. how bright do you keep your screen?
Yea, for me it's just like 2 - 4 minutes and the burn is gone.
I have auto-brightness on most of the time, typically it ranges from the lowest setting, to about the middle setting. When I'm in the house I turn off auto-brightness. I've just checked again and it is still there, that's almost an hour now. I haven't been using it either, it's been in sleep, but I have been periodically checking it.

The problem is though I have had it since the end of December. Would they still accept it? Like I said in the OP though it seems to be getting worse, before the image would at least go away. But now it seems to have retained it permanently.

Yeah I mentioned that in the OP. The problem is though mine has still not faded. I basically have a permanent Chrome URL box at the top of my screen, with a sort of white mark around it. If I have used chrome recently it becomes fully visible at any brightness. But if I leave it for a few hours it is only fully visible at maximum brightness.

Hi everyone, I have had my Nexus 4 for about a month now. When I was using it, I noticed a strange pattern on the screen. I looked into it and found out that it was the digitizer. After doing some research, I learned that seeing this was normal. Except, on my phone you can see the digitizer very clearly in sunlight even with the screen brightness all the way up. It also is visible when using the phone indoors with auto brightness. Is this normal? If not, does LG offer warranty for this issue?

Hi all,
I've had my N4 since January, and I've noticed that I've started to suffer from a screen burn-like issue. I use Dolphin Browser, and use phase beam live wallpaper (purple one, not red). When I've used dolphin for a few minutes and return to my home screen, I notice that the refresh and '+' icon from dolphin browser are imprinted on the screen. It goes away after about a minute or when I reboot the phone, but I wondered if anyone knew why this would be happening or if there's any solution? Also, when checking my work schedule on Polaris office, I notice that the grid pattern from the excel file is imprinted on my homescreen for a few moments too. Do you think it is worth RMAing for a new device? Everything else is fine.
I'm running stock, unrooted.
Thanks
Bump.
It has been explained to me that IPS displays do not get screen burn in. They just "ghost" momentarily. I don't know of a way to avoid this other than possibly lowering the brightness? As you said, it goes away after a few minutes, or a reboot. A reboot should always fix this kind of problem on IPS displays.
But to answer your question: An RMA won't fix it. This happens with all IPS displays, as far as I know.

I bought my Nexus 4 back in march and sent it in because of a dark vertical line on the left side of the screen that would not go away. Got my replacement about 2 weeks ago and am having the screen burn in issue you are having too. I never had this problem with my old device.
I'll probably wait a month or two and send this one in too if it continues to bother me.

Wow, after reading this i hope some experienced user could tune into this thread and elaborate on what is happening here?
I'm not really worried of getting it any time soon, as i heard it's not supposed to happen on the screen the Nexus 4 sports,however, i could be wrong..Anyone?
This is common with IPS displays, and is not called "burn in" as the effects are temporary. True "burn in" is permanent.
Rather, this is referred to as "image retention" or "image persistence." It was/is a big problem with the new retina Macbook Pros which showed a severe form of this problem (my first one included, got a replacement which is much better, but still shows a bit of image retention sometimes).

I've had mine since May and I am just now experiencing this. I have tried displaying a pure white screen overnight a few days a week, but I am unwilling to leave my phone turned off for a few days. Is there any other remedy?

Dear Friends,
In peripheral vision, I can see a the 6p screen flickering slightly. Mostly only noticeable on bright white and green screens on full brightness (without auto brightness adjustment)
Can you please do me a solid one and check it out on your device?
1. Turn Off brightness adjustment in Display settings
2. Set phone to full brightness
3. Load a completely white background (chrome browser starting page or any screen testing tool)
4. Hold the phone centrally close to your face and look at another object in the room while viewing the phone in your peripheral vision
5. Look back and forth at the object in the room and at the screen to see if you notice a slight flickering or restlessness in the screen
The flickering is very faint and hard to notice in peripheral vision but it is definitely there. I tired the same with an iphone 6plus and the iphone screen (my brothers Iphone, I'd never buy none) definitely has no flicker at all. It's very steady.
The screen is also not as bright as the iphone 6+ but I think that is well known.
I'd like to know if it is standard with all nexus 6p's and if it bothers you at all.... maybe I am just obsessing or maybe not and I need to RMA the device which is a huge pain in the ass.
Thanks!
Thomas
I do not have this issue at all. There are two possibilities, there is a defect with your device OR you are sensitive to the refreshing of the display. However, most modern displays have a refresh rate of 60Hz or higher (I assume the Nexus 6P and iPhone 6 are 60Hz, but I cannot find that info) so it's odd you haven't experienced this with other devices.
My best advice is for you to get your hands on a different Nexus 6P to see if you have the same problem. If you can't do that, I would suggest you try to see if you notice it in any other displays. Maybe go to a store and try it with a Samsung Galaxy S6/Note 5 as those have a similar AMOLED display, whereas the iPhone is LCD.
Thanks for your quick feedback. I am really surprised that noone has noticed this. I am looking at the device straight I don't notice it either it is only in peripheral vision that I can see it but even then it is very hard to catch. I think that indeed it must have something to do with the refresh rate of the screen.
Maybe other people can give it a try ? I have a gut feeling that it is an "issue" in all Nexus 6P devices but that most people don't notice it because it takes a very malicious mind to see it. Maybe it's because the device is brand new and the screen needs some time to "break in" or "adjust" ?
I just want to make sure that I don't have a defective device.
Thanks everyone

I have heard of that before, but you're seeing the issue on super high brightness. Perhaps try it on a lower brightness to see if it worsens.
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is used for making the display darker. For example, say that a phone has a 60Hz refresh rate, meaning all of the pixels update 60 times each second. To make the display dimmer, the pixels are on for a shorter period of time in between each refresh. For maximum brightness, the pixels are on for the entire time between each refresh. Thus, when the display is dimmer, some might notice flickering as the pixels turn on and off.
Billy, again, thanks for your response. I will give it a try.
The best way I can describe it is that the effect is extremely subtle; so much, that I don't notice it looking directly at the screen but it translates into a sort of "nervousness" of the screen in general because you are left with the feeling that the screen is constantly moving and not really 100% steady. I am not sure if it is something I can/will get used to over time but I am willing to give it a try for a few days.
I am also almost certain that I don't have a hypersensitivity of some sorts but rather that all Nexus 6P phones have this issue just that most of the people don't really notice it.
I'd love to hear from others about if they see it
It's normal, it's caused by PWM. I don't notice it much on my 6P,my Note 4 had it much worse. Some people are more aware of it than others and seem more succepatble to seeing it.

I think the S6 uses it also but some phones seem worse than others. As I said, I can see my 6P a little but my Note 4 was worse, I could see the flicker all the time.
I just checked my S6 for the issue (side by side with the 6P) and I can say with confidence that the S6 does not have the issue AT ALL. The screen does not flicker in peripheral vision and as a result appears steadier and calmer in general.
If i hold a video camera over each screen I can see scan-lines moving diagonally upward in regular intervals/spacing which both phones, however the lines are stronger and more visible with the 6P Screen. Which in my humble option explain why I am noticing this effect. I am just not sure if something like that warrants the effort of returning or swapping out my 6P
It doesn't really bother me but knowing that maybe other 6P devices have it less makes me think because I shelled out 699€ for it....
What would you do?

Does it get worse on the 6P when you turn the brightness down? How about on the S6, if you turn the brightness down (which should exemplify the PWM issue) does it have the same effect as the 6P?

Thanks for asking. When I turn the brightness down on the 6P it gets better; the effect is not noticeable anymore when it's set on 50% brightness. As soon as I have it on 100% I can see it from the corner of my eyes when set on a white background.
The question is really if I can expect it to be different on another 6P or if all the 6P's have this level of subtle "flickering" if I may call it.
I suspect the latter... and from this point of view it doesn't make sense to swap it out. if you are able to notice it ever so slightly on your device then changes are that it is present on all devices and that the 6P just has it more than for example the Samsung S6 because on the sammy I can't notice it at all, even on full or low brightness for that matter.
As you've said , if it were a PWM issue, It would worsen with low brightness, correct? In my case it worsens with high brightness. So what really is it then?
Quick question... Under normal day-to-day usage, you look at your screen out of the corner of your eyes and have the brightness set at 100%?

You're asking the right questions here and the answer is no to both ?
However I hope your can understand my concern because in the beginning nothing is more important than having a flawless device to my very rigid mind.
Also im worries that the screen in general is not calm as compared to other models such as the s6. Basically that since the flicker is present I might still perceive it even when looking straight at the screen.
I decided to order another 6P to be able to compare the 2 and see if the issue persists on the new device. Depending on the outcome I will keep one or return both. The flickering is really evident and IMO unacceptable for a device with this pricetag.
I am not sure if this is the same thing, but see the flicker in the attached video. It's at 5th,10th and 15th seconds. But then I checked it on Galaxy S4 and see it there as well. I don't notice it in any other screen. May be NBA app is causing it.

I have been searching for someone, anyone, who has this issue as I do. Everything you said previously, I experience as well. I've had a 6p since November, and the flickering was there from day one. It's easy to notice at >50% brightness on white or greenish screens. Less so on red and blue. It's something I've gotten somewhat used to, but sometimes it really bugs me. Have you had any success with trying things?
I have recorded the screens of the 6p and 5x. The difference and flicker of the 6p is clear.
