For some reason my screen will dim whenever i try to go to links in gmail or other things. Any idea what could be causing this? The xoom is not rooted and completely stock 3.2. kind of an odd issue and a big annoyance.
no solution but saw this happen today in a link in a mail client. it was not gmail.
also, i use honeycomb file manager HD (paid version). clicking on videos mounted at /external1 does the same thing. the videos play, they just dont play from within that file manager. this just started happening. Ive had honeycomb file manager HD for a couple months now (since it was launched) and was able to play the videos from within the app (it would pop up which video player to choose from...). now it doesnt.
i just figured it was a random glitch but perhaps not.
looks like the 3.2 bug... the screen dims when the application picker dialogue box is called, meaning it could happen anytime a link, file, pic, etc could be opened with more than one app on your device... try rotating your screen and it should appear... should make the problem go away (at least until next reboot).
Think doing a factory reset would help?
This is a well known and documented bug with Android 3.2.
Simply rotate your screen, and it will show you a list of applications to choose from.

Nope, as solarnz said this is android 3.2 bug... won't happen everytime, but everytime it happens changing your screen orientation fixes it... mainly a minor annoyance.
appreciate the heads up. i had not known about the bug.. was under a rock i suppose.
ive not seen this issue again and i just tried just now and all is well. next time however, ill be ready ..
thank you again to the OP for posting and for the followups. "thanks" are in order here...

Hello
I dont remember exactly when, but the scrolling in all browsers (chrome,firefox,opera,dolphin) is very choopy now... It was smoth before...
Maybe recent KitKat ? Anyone have any idea what is that? Hardware problem?
Navigating in forums is a pain, always getting undesirable click/select with choppy scrolling...
Thanks

You wouldn't happen to have a cracked screen would you? There's a chance that there is a problem with your digitizer. The digitizer is what is responsible for registering touch events/input on the screen. One way to check if its the digitizer is to download an app that's similar to Paint on windows. For an old phone of mine I used an App called Sketch Artist..or something of the sort.
While making the drawing drag your finger along the screen in every direction, try to color in the whole screen. If there is anywhere on the screen that isn't responding to touch input then that is the part of the screen that may be perpetually derped.
It should be noted that you don't necessarily have to drop your device in order to have a derped digitizer, sometimes its just something that develops over time.
Hey, just wondering if anyone else is having problems with apps randomly refreshing. It happens in every app except the browsers. It's a bit annoying when you are typing thingso out and the app refreshes, losing what you typed. I've tried reinstalling apps, I have no idea what's up.
Thanks again.
Never experienced what you are getting.
Maybe upload a video so other users can see what is actually happening.
Is it on every application? or selected application? Like HTML5 apps?
Not sure, seems like all my apps, except Browser apps. I'll upload a video sometime tomorrow or the next day, I'm on limited wifi, so uploading some videos would take forever. It's weird and very frustrating, I really want to like this phone, but with the apps refreshing at times when I don't need them to be, it's a real bummer. You'll being doing something in almost any app and it will refresh/reload itself.

I have no idea what that is. I thought it may have been package disable pro, but I turned that off and it wasn't the case. I notice it in snapchat the most, I'll take a picture and as I'm marking people to send the snap to, it'll just reload back to the picture taking screen.
Same here, it started from today. First noticed on snapchat, took a video about to post it lol lost it. Then youtibe app refreshed itself, also media player while watchibg video. Its kinda weird. Maybe its ram problem ?
Also rebooted the phone, did not help.

Just looked it up, I'm using a new up-to-date phone. Never installed anything like that, just apps.

Yeah, restarting or clearing caches does nothing, I'm going to factory reset my phone as soon as I get my SD in.

Had a factory worked for you, because I have the same problem.
It started out of nowhere. Really annoying.
YouTube videos also randomly get paused.
Same problem here, it has been going on for over a week now. Thought it was maybe a screen or gesture setting... Nope. Then thought maybe it was the Nova app launcher, but I've uninstalled it and still have the same issue.
I have the same here. Did anything work for you?
I'm having the same problem! I'll be scrolling and the page is constantly resetting to the top. Filling out forms and they'll be deleted. YouTube videos are always stopping. It's a real pain. Has anyone discovered the cause or a solution yet?
+1..Happening to me for a couple weeks now. Factory reset my phone. No dice. Apps refreshing, YouTube oausing - same symptoms. So frustrating
Has anybody got a fix for this issue? Its really annoying.
Did the factory reset worked for anyone?
Thanks

Hey Shifazh,
Yes, I eventually did a factory reset which fixed the problem.
Make sure you backup EVERYTHING from your phone.

Its an issue for me too. I will try reset today.
My factory reset seemed to work for a while, but then it started doing it again. S7 running nouget
Do you mean auto update? Instead of auto refresh? as far as I know auto refreshing apps are normal, it's supposed to do that. Example your weather app (if you have use them)
If you mean auto update you can change the setting in the play store
Here's my issue:

In normal conditions, pinning an app in the share menu would bring that app to the top of the list (has been like this for years and years in android), but now, the menu doesn't reorder, as you can see in the video.
Tried with a clean install, starts working, but after installing one or more apps, it immediately get's bugged.
Can anyone confirm this? If you don't have that problem, can you post your system info?
I already sent the bug report to oneplus along with logs, but haven't gotten a response yet.
I have the same issue with that update :/

I did not try with Pinning, but on my device, Direct Share no longer works. What I mean is, normally I have my frequent shared contacts right at the top with the corresponding app, so I could always directly share with my wife, for example... Now, that no longer shows up. Weird thing is that it shows up if I select multiple options to share... For example, in gallery, if its a single picture, no direct share, but if its more than one picture, everything works as before.
I am in touch with the bug team about this and they said they are looking into it. If I receive any further updates from them, I will post an update here as well.
It does seem strange though that not everybody seems to have this problem (or don't seem to have noticed!)
For now, Direct Share is too useful for me to live with this bug, so I am planning to downgrade to Beta 9 that worked fine for me.

Did you downgrade? If you did, did you dirty flash over the new version?

Yes, I did downgrade. Dirty flash of OB9 over OB11 worked just fine. However, to be doubly sure, I did disable screen-lock before I did it, AND backed up everything important.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues:
Choppy scrolling on Facebook web.
Keyboard stuttering on Whatsapp, here on the forum, pretty much everywhere. You type a letter, nothing happens, you keep typing, then the last 4 typed pop up
I'v had this on all my stock EEA software versions including 1.1.4.
I dont have these problems. But i dont use Facebook.
Despite it happens everywhere for you i guess something is faulty with your device. I guess if you factory reset, the problem will go away. If not, maybe try installing super partition. If that also wont help, i would file a replacement.
Good luck.

since nobody else reported the same problem in 2 weeks i guess its a problem on your side.
Manby some app that constantly has an overlay over other apps? Because i think this is what happen when you have an active call, the overlay sets your refresh to 60hz.

The only issue I think could be AdGuard. Will have to uninstall it as some point and try. The choppyness is more than 60hz. It's like short freezes waiting for an object to load. Really really bad

That does not sound like 60hz yes. But AdGuard is a very good guess. If you are rooted AdAway is the better choice anyway.
