Display jello/wavy effect when scrolling!

[Nitemare3219]

Noticed this as soon as I setup the phone. I don't think I've ever seen an AMOLED panel do this. It's almost like it's refreshing each line of pixels too slowly/unevenly during a single frame?

Here's an album of images and video captured from 240 FPS video. View them one after another. The screen refreshes by starting in the bottom left corner and finishes the frame in the top right corner... the icons and text on each line of apps goes out of alignment as I scroll.

Text and elements on the screen stretches out when scrolling down, and smushes together when scrolling up. Straight lines look wavy when scrolling left or right as well!

Is this what you are talking about?

Lets hope they manage to fix this.. I wonder if this is related to hardware or just a software issues.. Guess we'll see when more custom roms and kernels come in.. other than that, could this issue be related to vsync or framerate?

Nah, its a FEATURE.....

I don't think so - that sounds like frame dropping, and I have noticed that too.

Hopefully software since it's the same panel as the 3T. I don't think it's vsync, because if that were disabled it'd result in tearing. I really have no idea what's going on.

On the up side, an assistant head moderator on the OnePlus forums forwarded this information to the developers... other people are complaining about this same issue there as well!

Yea. I've had it since first boot and notice it every time I use the phone. I can't wait for updates.

Still having this issue after today's OTA.

Same here. It seems to be a Software issue

---------- Post added at 17:04 ---------- Previous post was at 16:38 ----------

To be Precise the upper part of the screen reacts slower. The thing that makes me nervous is that it's the same Spot when using horizontal.

Anyone can check if this issue is also when scrolling in twrp, if yes it's a Firmware issue or even Hardware.

If this was a Software issue we would see a Glitch while scrolling but it's a smooth Jello effect

I've did couple of Tests. And it seems it's the screen itself and not the Software. As recording the screen with an App will not show the issue. I hope it can be fixed with a Firmware Update.
We need an Update for the amoled screen driver.

Thank god I'm not the only one noticing that straight away. It pretty much ruined my experience since I got this phone. At first a thought its just me beeing OCD again and checking the screen for failures far too often.

It's hard to not see it when scrolling and it is very irritating!
Like a Jello / Wobble / Warping effect.

This needs to be addressed asap! If I Google this issue, it comes up a thread on OnePlus forums "The first thing I did when I got my OnePlus 5, I immediately installed the ... screen starts moving before the top half, giving a "jello" effect when ..".If I click on it, it says "OnePlus Forums - Error
The requested thread could not be found".

Seems like they removed the thread?

If the issue isn't getting worse when underclocking cpu&gpu with Ex kernel it's sure no Software issue. Then it's rather Hardware or Firmware (Panel driver)
But I simply can't imagine an amoled screen having such a Hardware issue.

The thread got merged with another thread. Here's the one - https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-sync-to-improve-touch-responsiveness.553718/

It's the same panel (better say a variant of the panel), but what people don't know is that it seems it's mounted inverted on the OP5. So this wobbly effect seems to manifest more because of this condition.
I noticed this when evaluating some stuff on the source code I could backport to the 3T.
Let's hope it's just a weird overlay panel calibration or something similar and not a processing issue from design choices.
Only time will tell.

Problem is that time is limited due to the 15 days return period

 

[_MartyMan_]

Oh my.... I'm not experiencing anything like this... I'm sorry guys :/

EDIT: I have this effect also, but very minor. The 15-day return starts on delivery, or on ordering date? (So if i ordered the phone on the June 21st, this return thing will expire at July 6th?)

Exactly i can't take that chance they may or may not fix this issue or are they just going to sweep it under the carpet and pretend no one noticed, One thing is for sure if i decide to keep it and they don't resolve this awful screen latency, scrolling, stuttering lag this will be my 1st and last OP phone, it shouldn't have even come to market with this issue.

 

[Batfink33]

The panel is mounted inverted?! WTH?! The OP5 will be the new OP2 at this rate.

oh my.... i receive mine today in possibly a few minutes.... U people are making me more and more regretting buying this thing.....

mine arrives tomorrow, i'm still on the fence of returning it or not

I know! It's getting worse every second I'm on this forum... I wonder if maybe this is a batch set thing or if this is a region thing. I haven't read through the whole thing. But, if my screen has a weird effect like this which I will now watch for, I'll report it here.

 

[Ady1976]

****s gonna hit the fan when most people will be receiving them this and next week, hope they've fixed it by then before their customer support has a meltdown.
