[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sam2c:
I have a couple of "issues" with the phone. Not sure if its software related or hardware related. Maybe you guys can check on yours too see if it happens. This is all on stock ATT rom

It seems the One has "dynamic contrast" enabled by default. When scrolling on webpages, for example, if I come to an area with a dark advertisement, the brightness adjusts very slightly most of the time. Thats all well and good but the annoying thing is that it does it in steps causing quick blinks of the backlight. Its most pronounced at medium brightness. The same "blinking" happen when autobrightness wants to set the brightness to a very low level . It does it in very discrete steps and it takes a long time for the brightness to settle to its minimum.

If i set my brightness to 50% (most prevalent when the slider is under the "t" in brightness) I get a VERY subtle, but constant pulsating of the backlight. Again, Its a very subtle but my eyes pick it up regardless and its distracting as hell. I wouldn't mind it if autobrightness didn't hit this brightness level, but it does sometimes indoors. The effect is best seen on a mixed white and color screen, like a homescreen with a white widget and most websites. If the brightness goes a bit above or below this level, the pulsing goes away :confused:. Anyone else seeing this? maybe it happens at a different brightnesses on different screens.

Thanks

I noticed this when watching a video today. Maybe it only happens if you have autobrightness on?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sam2c:
It happens with autobrightness off for me. I actually tested it a bit more. I happens on a variety of backlight settings depending on what's on the screen.

At approx. 33% brightness (im using an app called screen adjuster to set the system brightness to a specific value), the screen does heavy pulsating on an all white image. For example, if I go to "about:blank" in the web browser. I can be seen on a desktop screen with a white widget or the settings menu.

Same thing at 40. Worst is 33% though. I have a feeling its dynamic contrast going haywire at certain brightnesses. If you turn the screen off then on, it doesnt do it for a second or 2, but then it will start. I haven't been able to find a demo unit anywhere around me to test this out. So if someone can check this on their device, I would appreciate it. Please use Screen Adjuster to get a definitive reading on the brightness. (Use the slider in "system brightness" to set it to a specific brightbess) and go to "about:blank" in the default browser

hi..

i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?

JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sam2c:
Thanks for the response. I ended up looking at 4 more devices at 2 different stores and they all had the flicker. The sales associates even saw it. I got tired of doing exchanges and I ended up reversing my upgrade. Im going to wait and see what happens with this issue. Hopefully it gets sorted out with a firmware update, because otherwise its an awesome phone. Its a shame that the $100 trade-in offer is going to end by then and I wont be getting a free medialink device, but atleast i'd be able to get it in black, which is what I originally wanted.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Mr Sliff:
Ive noticed this too and its really annoying me. Ive tried multiple roms including the new asop carbon rom and its even on that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sam2c:
In addition to the phones I exchanged, every display model that I've come across has had it. I'm was a bit surprised at first that not many people have come across this. I'm starting to think that maybe the One has a PWM backlighting, which some folks are sensitive to and some don't even notice. I'm in the former category and I think you are too. It a shame really that this problem exist. Besides that, I couldn't find any other faults with the phone. It was perfect in every other aspect :(

Screen Flicker

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this. It doesn't stay that way very long for me, but it is quite annoying. Seems to happen when there's a white or light-colored background the most. So I guess there's nothing specifically wrong with my phone and we'll either have to live with it or wait until someone figures out how to fix it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Infinite Jest:
I guess most people don't notice this.m it's extremely irrational going between this and my tablet and having the black.ighting flashing in my face when I scroll through webpages.

I was trying to reflash Stock Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 stock ROM via Odin but it got stuck, had to restart phone and got the yellow triangle telling that firmware upgrade encountered an error and asked me to use Kies to recover it. I used Odin again to flash CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5 instead as PDA, now after completion of the process, I get an endless loop of rebooting with the Red android background logo and CF message.

I'm unable to access Download mode nor recovery! Did I brick my phone?! :confused:

Any tips to recover this issue? Please help!

There are so Many reports of lose usb connections , Battery wont charge anymore & wont syc to PC.

Well I came across interesting find while swapping out Charging Port & Mic Flex today.

First off I purchased my device on release day new in the box ATT corp.

USB connection was loose cable falling out like many and charge stopped working last week so I ordered replacement part & this is what I found.

What I pulled out of my device today

It was Non OEM China knockoff - http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Chargin...ng-Galaxy-Note2-SGH-i317-REV0-7-/271166713250

[HTC One V] Confused.brit:
I'm having an issue with my Primou, running CM10, Hellboy kernel, and TWRP recovery.

I'm seeing slowdowns with any memory intensive app, or running more then one app at a time.

I get ANRs constantly

Sometimes the phone will just grind to a halt and I need to hold powerbutton until it reboots. This is happening more and more frequently.

Can anyone help me track down if its kernel, rom, or hardware issue?

I can't adequately express in writing the noise of frustration that I just made. But upon further thought, this is at least slightly different in that it goes into more detail?

What about custom recoveries? TWRP and CWM are rather varying in functionlaities, layout, input methods ect.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Flaman37:
TWRP vs CMW

Haven't used cwm for awhile, but twrp easy to use plus has touch screen interface. Last time I used cwm it wasn't as easy. But as with anything, it slop depends on your preferences.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
Just thought I'd drop in and clarify something about Initiative. It really isn't a ROM, it's just packaged as such for ease of distribution. Like Initiative on other devices, it more a lightweight tuned base and series of mods for other devs and tinkerers to build and test on for their own ROMs and kernels. That's part of the reason it's called "Initiative". Except for a couple things, there is little difference between "Initiative" and "Agent". Also except for the bug fixes it tends to only get updated when the stock base changes.

BTW, thanks for the review/guide. It's something a lot of newcomers really need when playing with their new toy.

Hey just giving some raw feedback, purely constructive.

I LOVE the idea of keeping a review thread. For those developers who may not have the time, energy, or ambition left after creating, or updating their ROM may also leave a decent amount of key details or descriptions out of their original posts. And for those new comers or excited Attention Deficit flashers may not read all of the key details one would find in a thread as organized as this. However, KEEPING a thread requires a level of diligence XDA members look forward to. There are a ton of new ROMS that would benefit this thread. Are you up to keeping a review thread?

But, in 2013, Android Jelly Bean 4.2, is able to recognize a USB microphone? Such as Blue Yeti? I need for a more powerfull microphone and the USB can be a good solution. In February 2012, this guy was unable to connect a USB mic (Yeti) to a Samsung Galaxy tablet.

I have a concern about flashing a stock image and risks associated with it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40366514#post40366514

-My screen stopped working (processor in screen went out I think). There are no cracks under a microscope

-I am trying to return it to TMobile under the warranty exchange - keep in mind it is rooted and a custom ROM. It is easily detectable via the start up screen. Here is the catch-you can obviously only tell this if you hook up a functioning screen (i have had this done).

So my question - Should I risk attempting to flash stock via ODIN (without using phone screen) or should I count on T-mobile/samsung warranty exchange turning on the phone, seeing that it turns on/screen is not cracked and then saying "ok lets honor the exchange"? Is the any chance they take the time to hook up a new screen and detect it is rooted?

If you greenify an app you will lose notifications

You can't greenify system apps

The app will greenify a short time after you turn off the screen.

You can't greenify any app that works while the screen is off. So as stated above. No notifications, no background updates while the screen is off. Pretty much you kill any usefulness of any app unless the screen is on.

Hi, i have the GS3 GT-I9300 32GB (I9300BUEMA1 Baseband and JZO54K.I9300XXEMR2 Build version) Vodafone edition, bought it in Greece and i am experiencing a very annoying problem. The notification bar, in random times, like every 2-3 days or maybe weeks, stops working. I can't pull it down, until i restart the phone. But that doesn't solve the problem, cause after a while, it starts doing it again. The weird thing is that i have installed an app (MultiTouch tester) that shows that the screen is working on the top and all around. I have tried a lot of different ROM versions, first the Polish 4.1.2, then the UK and then the Greek, but none of them seem to solve the problem. I have sent it to the official Samsung service here and they have replaced the screen, but after a couple of days the problem appeared again.

Is there a solution or should i ask for my money back and get another phone, for example the new GS4?
