Graphic artifacts randomly appearing

I know the Vega is supposed to be cheap and the screen not the best but for what it is I really like it. However, I've noticed quite a few times now when I'll be doing something or when I pick certain things that I get lots of graphic artifacts on the screen in the form of long lines. It goes away as soon as I leave whatever made it happen and it is repeatable in some cases such as loading a profile image on TweetDeck.
I've got a badly shot blurry photo of the artifacts on the screen but it's clear enough to show what I'm referring to. If anyone has any information on this or, I hope not, think that this may be a problem that will get worse in time please let me know! I've intentionally left this as a full view of the screen to lower blurryvision, it's the lines all over the lower half or left half if held in landscape but this is pretty random and can be anywhere on the screen.

It is a known issue in the 1.08 version at least, and in the 1.09. They're bothersome, but I have never read that these artifacts can create any long-term problems on the device. There's no reason to panic AFAIK.

[Q] Stronger vibration, is that possible?

Hi guys
I have a problem, is it possible to make the vibration stronger when I receive call/text. I looked around and google it and it seems that a lot android users had the same problem. Most of the apps is crap (how to shake your phone to vibrate)
So does any of you know the solution, please? ?

Solution? It is a characteristic, not a problem. It isn't really an Android "issue" either. It is more hardware related. The vibration motor in most SE phones is quite small, the one in most HTCs is larger, for instance. You CAN change the duration and pulse pattern of the vibration effect, but it doesn't really do much. Apart from drain the battery more in the case of duration extension...
Not really sure why you need a pneumatic drill in your pocket though...

For the love of Hugh Jackman,
your thread title has a [Q] in front, why is it not in Q&A section???

Rogers S5 Lollipop lock screen block text

I updated to 5.0 a while back when Rogers rereleased it, and every once in a while the numbers/letters on the lockscreen keypad will turn to white blocks. The lock screen is the only place that this happens.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it besides rebooting the phone?

Bump!
Anyone has a better solution than reboot?
It is appearing on T-Mobile I-9505, I-9515 and G-900F.

Do you use SwiftKey? My girlfriends Canadian GS5 is doing this as well, when I searched the internet I found a reference with regards to SwiftKey not playing 100% nice with Lollipop and causing this blockyness on the lock screen. So far there has been no fix other than reboot... She's been a couple of months now with this annoyance, but luckily it doesn't seem to affect the usability, you just have to know which numbers are which Side note: I have a Nexus 5 and use Swiftkey but don't have this problem.

This is apparently just a general lollipop issue, not really tied to anything just a glitch in android, i dont know a fix just thought id throw that out there.

[Q] Need help with screen color calibration

Hiya! A while ago I was using the AICP lollipop rom based on CM, and it had a setting that allowed me to calibrate the color of my screen. A long while back My screen has a very noticeable green hue to it, and i used AICPs color calibration to make it less green. Now that I switched roms (a lollipop touchwiz rom), this new one doesn't have color calibration. Is there any apps or mods that could give me that functionality? Thanks in advance.

There are some color options in Accessibility, I don't know is they will meet your needs but it's worth a shot.

Burn in already? (Screen included)

So guys I'm kinda worried, I just got an s8 today and check this picture from contacts:
https://ibb.co/nLKobQ
As you see, the most left part (that is usually all black on most applications) is darker than the rest. Is your s8 like this as well or just mine? Not sure if its supposed to be like this or I should have it replaced. Thanks!

It's supposed to be that way. You can choose what color you want the navigation bar to be and the default is off-white.

Thanks! Was gettin worried...

That's normal though. As tharghan mentioned the navigation bar is off-white by default (which is sort of like a VERY light gray) and this helps prevent burn-in.
It's most likely not going to become an issue as soon as on other phones like the 6P and Pixel since the navigation bar and buttons consistently change color when you switch apps. If you notice the navigation buttons are white on the home screen but they turn dark gray once you go into an app.
