Hello everyone. What i am here to present is a possible workaround until CM sorts out the flikering graphics which some of us sometimes have with any kernel. This must be something related to CPU rendering which is not well instructed.
So i need your help.
For anyone having ghost touches i need you to add the following line to the build.prop, and after adding it, reboot.
persist.sys.use_dithering=1
if doesnt fix then.
persist.sys.use_dithering=2
According to cm gerrit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/19532/
Can possibly fix color banding(1) and blur effect(2). (i believe the ghost touches are blur effect so, i would try out option 2)
About the graphical flickering some of us sometimes have it, just check on Developer options : Disable HW overlay (always use GPU for screen composing)
then let me know the results.
I'm currently studying how build.prop works so, i can of find these options insteresting to improve our ROM experience with options which atualy do some changes.
Thanks for your help on this research,
Regards.

After setting it you reboot right? If yes that's good. Could you try take a photo so that we can compare? No screen shot only photo
Yup rebooted, don't have a camera handy atm. I never experienced ghost touches unfortunately, just yellow banding.
But i have seen graphical glitches and flickering occur once or twice, i'll see if they reappear

Probably won't. At least that is expected. When you use only GPU for composing it shouldn't appear. Also in same cases increase battery life. Still studying the best strategy for this.

Why would using the GPU to draw everything cause an increase in battery life?

No. Draw only with GPu for those having graphical issues on using apps which don't require GPU.
In some cases it might increase battery life as it is faster than cpu do draw design. Something I cannot say without studying properly.
@Theshawty shouldn't take too long to try out (dithering option 2 perhaps?)

I have been experiencing the graphical flickering every time I update to 38r - most noticeable when scrolling through menus, bits of the screen appear stuck or flicker all over the place.
I just tried your suggestion to disable HW overlay and I can report that this appears to have fixed the issue! :fingers-crossed: Is this something the CM developers could explore for the next release?
I restarted my phone and the flickering reappeared, went back into developer settings and noticed disable HW overlay was unticked again - shouldn't this stay ticked between restarts?
Also by ticking this option, is it going to possibly cause any performance issues?
Sometimes my screen doesn't respond in the right corner. Could this workaround help too?
A reboot fixes my problem...

Does anyone have the problem of being unable to install apps from sources other than the play store? For example, atm I'm trying to update 'Lucky Patcher' and the request for me to install the update which also shows the permissions the app is requesting but I can't actually press on the Install button. I can still press on the show all button and cancel button as well as the touchscreen keys at the bottom but just cant press on the Install button.
I was able to install unknown source apps before however, it just doesnt work now.
How do i fix this?
Is your unknown sources box still checked?

Please explain how you did it. After a lot of searching on my own I found someone's advice to set the brightness to max and disable any screen dimming apps (which I have none installed, bought the device a month ago) and I still can't install apk files. Mind you the appropriate setting to allow unknown sources is set. The Install button just doesn't react exactly as you described. Everything else on the popup window is active (permissions and such). Please help!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I had this problem 2 months back. It turned out that the screen filter app that I was using was leading to this. I turned the app off and it worked
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I sat down and killed all the apps one by one. It turned out Battery Mix's battery bar (1px battery level indicator on the very top of the screen) was causing this behaviour. I will report this to the dev. So problem solved! :good:
Yeah, for my Nexus 4 the culprit was Juice Defender's brightness control. Disabled that and was able to install the apk I wanted to install. The developer does warn that this setting "might not work or cause problems".
Thank You All!!!!
Once again I was quickly able to solve my problem with a quick search on your forums!! Thank you all for giving such great advice. My problem with not being able to press the install button ended up being the "Twilight" App. Simple to temp disable/enable so not a big deal to me. I'm also going to let them know over at Twilight so hopefully a future update will solve this problem.
Thanks!!

Hey Guys, Ive got an infuriating problem. I cant pulldown my notification bar, my notifications just sit there taunting me, or at least they did till I remembered the dedicated nav key option lg offers but still I don't want to have a non functioning notification bar. I didnt do anything to my phone around the time this happenEd, just picked it up and found I couldn't pull it down. I've tried restarting, reflashing and wiping. I've even got it back to "unrooted" status in both the settings and download mode incase its a digitiser issue. Any thoughts guys? Id rather not loose my pride and joy for a week at the least if you guys have some ideas.
Thanks for your time and assistance :fingers-crossed:
I jave tje same issue are you using the xsposed because thats about wen mine happened. After i updated i noticed the center clock freezes and notification wont pull down. How ever a system ui reboot(soft reboot) fixes my issue

I might have done something with xsposed, maybe hiding the location icon. I reflashed the entire phone so Im pretty sure that includes a ui reboot somewhere in there. Also I found out it works in landscape mode, I can just pull it down like regular. Using the dev features "show touches" "show touch data" in none of my touches are recognised where the notification bar would be (top 1/4th inch near mic) even when in landscape mode.

I just picked a Unlocked Verizon G2 today that is having that same issue all other functions seem to work fine.. the phone is in perfect comdition and my friend said he never dropped it or any thing, he gave me a deal I jus couldn't pass up.
It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

Hi All, I'm struggling to turn off the vibrating notification for WhatsApp messages. I can either turn off vibrating within the general notification preferences for ALL messages or keep them on. The options within the WhatsApp settings do not work. Any ideas to solve this issue would be highly appreciated :good: Thanks
Turn off vibrations in whatsapp, then set a new sound for notification there as well.
Thx for your reply. The phone doesn't accept the ringtone change as well.
That's weird, it's working without vibration here when i do get a notification. My problem is often i don't get the notification at all, until i wake the app by opening it.
Agree, very weird. It's not clear for me which settings overrule others, which permissions have to be set and how the power saving options might influence the notifications probably.
I thought I have tried everything already but without success so far. The phone is driving me crazy. Already miss my oneplus which I passed over to my gf.
I'm also having troubles with my notifications since today... Getting nothing unless i open the app.. Very frustrating! Think its the 18s rom.. All notifications are on..I don't get it..
Had the problems already before the upgrade to 18s.
I found some Indian threads concerning notification problems in EUI 5.8 but the workarounds did not avail in my case.

None of these tips worked for me. I have every setting to keep apps open and protected with permissions...etc etc. I can still have my other phones sitting right next to this one and a gmail message will come in to all of them except the Le Pro 3. It will just sit there and not see the new message until I open the app and manually refresh. Le Eco MUST fix this. What good is a device that does not work with push notifications!!????
All of a sudden, at least whatsapp does as expected - sound without vibration (without turning off the general phone vibration settings) and also setting other notification sounds works now. - The problem is - I really don't know how I achieved this great success
I'll check how the other notifications work now and give feedback.
I've found that notifications work fairly well after a reboot, but get steadily worse the longer you go without rebooting. Mine has been a running a few days now without a reboot and whatsapp gets kicked out of settings/running apps within minutes of using it.
I'm also having problems with the notifications in general. Gmail and Hangouts for example...
I tried Settings ->Battery->Power Saving Management and disabled everything, including Ultralong standby and lock-screen clean up. Also add to App protection Wahtsapp and more applications that I don't want to be frozen. Neither Gmail nor Hangouts show on this list.
Also, I locked Gmail and Hangouts in the EUI task manager (lock symbol) , but it appears to have no effects...
Gmail for example besides no notifications, the emails in inbox are not even refreshed...
Any help would be appreciated... I really like the phone, but I'm thinking of returning it because these issues...
The same thing is present on our LeMax 2 for months since the S16/S17 update on it, other Leeco users report the same with their later firmwares.
I think it's deliberate by leeco to lengthen battery time for review reports, and they have no intention of fixing it since the complaints on various forums have been numerous for months now.
I found this:
http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?th...il-etc-after-eui-5-8-017s-update.15539/page-4
1. Phone manager -> Power saving management->App protection->Disable auto cleaning for WhatsApp
2. Settings -> Permission -> You have allowed x apps to auto launch->enable WhatsApp
3. Settings -> Notification management -> WhatsApp->enable all
4. Phone manager>Power saving management>App battery usage alert>Never alert > whatsapp should be never alert
5. Make Sure the Apps are locked in Recent Apps. Lock means the app won’t be killed by system.
6. Third-party power management apps such as DU Battery Saver, Greenify, Battery Extender, CM Security, Battery Saver, Go Battery, Doze etc. restrict background data and thus result in delayed notification and errors
7. If still cannot receive the push message, please check whether Battery assistant is enabled. Battery assistant will restrict backgroud data and only suggest to enable when battery is low.
8. Dial *#*#46360000#*#* -> Uncheck “Enable background resource control”. And please check it after next OTA. It can help save battery.

Just tried option 8 as well and rebooted. I'm hopeful as seeing much better push performance. Will update after phone has been in deep sleep a couple times.

Going on 5 hours and it has not missed a single push...I think this was the golden ticket to fix the push issues.
K, after 2 days testing, the new fix certainly seems to work at least for the 2 apps i use with push notifications, gmail and whatsapp. With gmail i still have to have the lock symbol on recents, which means to exempt it from memory purges in standby, but whatsapp doesn't seem to even need that anymore.
I've also been keeping an eye on battery consumption with this fix and, once settled from the reboot after applying the fix, there is no noticeable extra battery drain as far as i can tell. I'm still getting awesome SOT.
Hello I just got this amazing phone but I have a question. When I got the phone the icons where pretty... Once I updated to Nougat the icons are ugly... They have white borders and just don't look appealing ...how can I revert to use the icons like it was before prior to Nougat updated?
Thanks
Your best bet is to use a custom launcher like Nova launcher and install an Icon pack. I think Nova has a default pack installed so try that out
Agree, the standard zte icons and text and phone apps are not the best. I was surprised how poor they were when compared to for example htc. What would people recommend for phone and text apps?
Thanks I'll try Nova launcher
Well thanks all for the suggestion the Nova launcher has come long ways since I used Android.. Glad I did ..its gorgeous
So far so good with the launcher. I have discover that when I use Whatsapp it lags .. and when I use the Camera on Whatsapp it get stuck for like 10 seconds. Any ideas what could be causing this?
I have the same problem in WhatsApp. We aren't the only ones either. A lot of people have this issue. Hopefully ZTE fixes it asap.

For some people wiping cache worked.
Turn off your device, press volume up and power on the device, it'll boot into recovery, use the volume rockers to mive up and down the menu and select wipe cache with power button. Confirm on the next screen and reboot to system and give it shot again. That didn't fix my issue though. Worked only on the first try. After that still lags and pretty much unusable.
So is this an issue from ZTE and not the Nova Launcher?

Heey, I have the same issue!! Well, I'm not going nuts, that's a relief. Hoping ZTE address this sooner rather than later. But I do have Nova too. Raises the question: Is it a ZTE error really? Or is Nova the culprit? Do not miss our next episode!!
I was having lag on Nova and did FDR and it is fixed for now.
