OnePlus 5 Jelly Scrolling Issue Debunked/Solved - OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylPgd4V-z98
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

Should be working now. Sorry link was messed up.

Interesting , I can't seem to replicate on stock launcher I've had 3 devices now and none of them had the effect replaced for other reasons mainly just paranoia that I'd got one of the earlier manufacturer date that some had issues with so returned and got a later manufacturer date 10/6/17 , this one performing nice

Just tried with the stock launcher, I can't reproduce the bug at all.... Interesting indeed. I wonder if it's just a nova launcher issue? Could you try installing Nova Launcher and see if you can reproduce the bug?

Tried Nova just as smooth as stock for me although by default the icons are smaller and more on the page maybe it's something Todo with the Grid layout bigger icons more of a gap in between them or something

honestly i see nothing wrong in the video..
out of the dozen videos i have seen so far, i can only identify the jelly effect in one of them..
and that one is now used to illustrate the effect in all major sites/blogs i read..
not trying to imply anything.. maybe the only fact i come to realise from this jelly drama is that im one of the lucky few (who cannot see.. )

Strange, I just reinstalled nova and can reproduce the bug with stock settings. You're getting in between the grid on the app draw right? I was able to reproduce the bug on my 3t, s7 and LG tablet with nova launcher.

Yes in between app icons as said it defaults icons small think 5 in a row if reduce Grid to 4 in a row the gap between apps is greater will try with bigger gap

Look here: https://youtu.be/ylPgd4V-z98?t=118
Try installing nova launcher and scrolling in between the app drawer grid (white area, completely avoid pressing the icons.) Let me know if you can duplicate it. I'm confused why other people are having issues reproducing it like myself. I was able to do it on 4 devices now.

Hmm, in the video it looks like I am directly in between the icons. I am under and middle part of the icons. Hopefully that makes sense. If that doesn't work, then I give up. >.>

thx for the suggestion but i wont go as far to install a launcher (which i dont use) just trying to prove it..
why should i? im a happy user in current setup (apex launcher if anybody cares to know) with no so-called jelly effect noticed..

That's fine. I installed Apex launcher and tested it. Definitely don't experience the jelly scrolling effect with it. Not a big deal if you don't want to contribute. Thanks for your feedback.

Hmm, o well. Thanks for trying at least. Appreciate it a lot. Wonder if other people will have the same issue I'm experiencing.

Only time I get a bit of judder is using appy geek app think due to the image adverts that play as you scroll through almost a jelly effect rather annoying but it's only app related

Issues solved? How? Where?

Still don't see the jelly on mine. I also ran into someone locally that also has a OP5 and he had no jelly screen either. I've got one of the early models and after this latest 4.5.5 update my bad wifi performance is finally gone which was the only real issue I had so far. I was also wondering if the whole jelly thing people are seeing is more noticeable with the standard white theme. I switched mine to the dark theme right out of the box.
Either way, I'm done trying to look for an "issue" that isn't there. I've been trying to spot an ounce of waviness/jellyness since the first reports started popping up and haven't seen anything as such since. Cant speak for anyone else but this is my second phone from OP and I personally have had nothing but great results on both.

I think some people are just more sensitive towards that Issue than others, just like the controversy about seeing 30/60/120 fps and so on

Thats the right way to go about it, if you can't see it, than there is no reason to furthermore try to find it.. Its like once you notice it, you pretty much cant unsee it.. so yeah, glad you dont see it, enjoy your phone!

to avoid possible confusions:
issue occours when the tablet is not held in hand or connected to the charger. i.e. grounded.

I (and two other people in the touchscreen dead spot thread) can confirm that this issue is fixed. Those of us whose screens started dropping touches and behaving erratically after a few minutes of use no longer have it occurring after 4.1.2, something I am overjoyed about :laugh:
I have noticed that the issue of crossing axes while ungrounded still occurs, but that's entirely forgiveable imho since it's so rare that I don't hold the tablet in my hands, especially for multitouch.
The prism issue persists (washed out colours in general and especially after video), but the Prism Toggle app in the market can disable it with root, so it's not a bother for me.
Meh.

Maybe most of us just don't consider it a problem that needs fixing? I get bounce back on a number of different screens but I just swipe again, the world is not going to end because of it.

While agree it's not the end of the world, it's a complaint I see often here in kernel and ROM threads. While a lot of it is due to wonky behavior due to OC (either CPU or GPU), it's really just exacerbating an issue that is already present.
Besides, UI bugs are some of the most prevalent and immediately noticeable to more "common" end users. While functionally it's not debilitating, it's an aesthetic scar that doesn't need to be there.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
Hmmm.. So I assume it doesn't matter that I need exactly 15 seconds everytime I get a notification to pull down the status bar, caused by flipbacks. Okay I'm like 1000% sure Google noticed it anyway, cause its on most devices, also 100% stock ones (like me) so...

The scrolling drives me crazy indeed. We shouldn't have to "make sure we're doing an exact certain way" just in order for it not to bounce back. It should just work, correctly, like our sgs3/gnex/etc...

If it would bounce back after a reboot one time, I wouldn't care, but its always there, it doesn't matter what I do, it bounces every time... So its a bit annoying.. This is the only thing which sometimes makes me want to throw the 7 at a wall...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks OP, have added my star.
I had not noticed this problem but I was intrigued.
I could not duplicate the problem, but I am using Apex launcher, not the stock launcher. Does the problem occur in all launchers? Also I am not using the stock ROM.
I wonder if this problem happens with only some units, or perhaps it relates to those user's expectations. Maybe they expect their device to react more quickly than it is able to.
Far be it for me to be dismissive of people's satisfaction with their devices, but that bug-report thread has a lot of problems. It contains over-reaching claims and supposed knowledge of the problem's causes and solutions.
Again, I don't write off these people's unhappiness but I personally would not star that issue.
i too have this problem when on stock rom..now on PA beta 9 with m-kernel, the problem still exist...and it's very annoying...i even thought there was a problem with my touch screen panel and sent it to asus for repair but when i got it back, the same problem still remains..
Not starring because it does not bother me.
Life has too many other issues to worry about having to occasionally re-swipe.
Now pop-up ads in the Yahoo app could get me started...

Well over 500 people have voted to say they have a shonky screen, either one fault, several or all listed.
If Asus & Google don't by now know that there is a serious problem with QC of the actual screen and with the build quality then no amount of petitioning will work.
I noticed this issue minutes after pulling this thing out of the box, this might not bother you people who casually use their tablets, but top those of us who have been using android since the G1 notice this. It bothers me so much that I am considering taking this junk back and using the money to get a real tablet from Samsung.
This issue is so annoying to me, I not only notice it on the stock launcher, but also Nova and Apex. Now, the launcher I can deal with, but where I becomes a deal breaker for me is the browser, whether it's chrome or the stock browser in CM10. Trying to scroll around the OS that requires some flicking reminds me of trying to flick scroll on a resistive touch screen, I think that best describes the issue.
I just wanna know if it's fixable through a software update or a hardware problem, cause if it's the latter, this thing is going back, and that's too bad because it was a Santa gift, so I'll have some explaining to do.......

As I stated (not in precise terms sorry) in the OP, it would be a mistake to think that xda threads are the first place companies like Google and Asus check to see what issues people are having. They have issue and bug trackers for a reason. The universe does not revolve around our little community.
Also, this issue pertains to the general consensus that touch screen issues (like bounce back) have become exacerbated on 4.2 and above. Not anything regarding physical QC issues (though, to be fair, may very well be the root cause, but that is an entirely different issue; the fact of the matter remains that anecdotally it appears the touchscreen responded better on 4.1.2)
And besides, I'm just looking out for the well being of this device's future. Reporting bugs on bug trackers is important to these developers.

Yea the notification bar is better on 4.2.2, but the launcher still does it, nova prime does it too, and even when on dolphin or boat browser sometimes when you flick it will scroll nicely & sometimes a flick wont move the page much at all, weird and annoying, would be a much better experience if it was fixed!
This is a huge issue for me. Is there a way to increase or decrease sensitivity? Maybe that would help.

Interesting, I thought I was the only one who had noticed this. Don't know why I haven't seen this thread earlier.
For me I solved this by using apex launcher, somehow you never get those annoying jumpbacks. I tried nova launcher as well but it worked as bad as the original launcher. Going to star tomorrow.

[ROM][4.4.4][Unofficial] AOKP TF701T [06-27-1014][Nightlies]

Just wanted to share an unofficial build of AOKP for our TF701T's I did for myself.
Special thanks to Team AOKP for their wonderful rom!
Disclaimer: You flash it, you break it, you fix it. I will be update the builds weekly or so as new features are added into AOKP regularly.
Flash the same as any other rom. Use current Banks Gapps.
Known issue: I have enabled the glcomposer in the build.prop because the overall smoothness and battery life is greatly improved. However, because ASUS hasn't updated past 4.3, there may be occasional graphical glitches. You can disable the glcomposer by removing the one line in build.prop containing glcomposer in it BUT do try as it is first and see the difference for yourself. I have been using it for a couple weeks now and the graphical glitches are very small and barely noticeable.
Examples of where to see smoothness include: Scrolling homescreens. Swiping pages in App Drawer. Swiping pages in the widget drawer. Swiping away notifications while on homescreen. Swiping down notifications and quicktiles while on homescreen. Swiping to Google Now page in GEL launcher.

Excellent work. Very fast. No graphical glitches so far that i can see. Lets of options.:good:
It's great to see another ROM option for the tf701t! I just tried this out. The graphics really are quite smooth, and I love all of the customization options. Alas, as with cyanogenmod and cromi, Bluetooth functionality is severely diminished -- a mouse barely moves the cursor at all and a keyboard has severe typelag making it unusable. Any idea what's going on thereand how to fix it? I'm happy to be a guinea pig.
Awesome, glad to see other people trying this out!
I will post weekly build updates as often as possible.

Im amazed how smooth it is. I guess this shows with this tegra4 theres still room for improvement which is a good thing.
It's very nice. The camera doesn't crash, and I the current version of Netflix doesn't crash. With some roms I've had to use 3.0.

Not a mouse, but I had another bluetooth keyboard, so I paired it up and gave it a try. Worked perfectly fine with no typelag :/ The one that doesn't work is a combo keyboard/touchpad. I don't think xda will let me link to a product on amazon, but it's a "tp cromeer" branded case with builtin bluetooth keyboard/touuchpad. Made for the N8000, but it fits the tf701t quite nicely.
Any idea why just this one device wouldn't work?

I actually have a mini combo keyboard touchpad I can try tonight.
My guess is going to be some sort of silly device incompatibility though...
I dont have any problems with this inexpensive bluetooth keyboard.
I do find though. I dont know if its possibly the kernel or android itself or if too many apps are running in the background. Input in general and reponsiveness is lost completely until reboot. It starts to lag all input I think. Like touch sensitivity etc. I wonder if anyone else has found this on to be the case on this device. Not sure if there is some app thatll restore it by killing processes possibly. Another thing I notice is that Android is running tonnes of threads. Compared to the few that run on linux. 600+ on android. Less then 100 threads on Linux usually depending on the distro. This rom right now has 900+ threads showing in htop. But it is still smooth as butter. Maybe thats not a big deal then.

It happens on all roms, but it would be a very subtle thing. I dont see it really as a problem. Just something that requires a reboot.

Yes -- I know exactly what you're talking about I think.
On any ROM I've tried, it happens. A fresh reboot always clears things up, but after running a few apps (and / or putting the tablet to sleep overnight perhaps?) the whole system lags a bit. General stuff, like switching programs and running apps like Tapatalk and Engadget (for example). I'm forced to kill apps manually, and that sometimes does the trick.
One thing I tried out yesterday that seems to be helping -- give this a shot too: in your developer settings, you'll see that you can restrict how many background processes are running. Currently, I have background processes limited to just 2 at a time (and also "strict mode" enabled)... and I have to say, I'm noticing a difference! Might take some more testing to see what the pros and cons of this are, but if it just means that I don't have background processes piling up on me, this might be a workaround?
Aside from that, has anyone tried Greenify with good results?

Honestly guys, I don't see this issue using this AOKP rom...I've left it for a few days no reboot, and I don't see any slowdowns/lag.
On a brighter note, I have a new build ready to be uploaded tonight.
I messed up some merges for battery/charging and was struggling to sort it out the last couple days.
All good now.
New build will be up later tonight.

On my previous s8+ and Note 8, when I use a black theme w/ a black wallpaper my recent apps screen is completely black. On my Note 9 it looks grey then is black at the very bottom of the screen. Can someone check their phone and please give feedback. Thanks. (see attached photo). View attachment 4596579

That image looks all black to me, but either way it's not a screen problem. I'm using good lock's task switcher but I just turned it off to check, mine when stock is just a slightly dimmed background. See pic. Also I've attached a good lock switcher screenshot too, maybe try it out and see if it's alright, I'd recommend it regardless as it looks waaay better than default.

I think it's safe to assume we both clicked on the image as we don't have super vision haha. I see a pure black screen with just the white text and buttons, I don't see any grey at all.
Ok, instead of doing a screen shot I took a picture of my Note 9 and my Note 8. I've tried 6 different pure black wallpapers and they all look grey on my Note 9. On my Note 8 I'm using the same pure black 4k wallpaper and it's black not grey. This only happens on my "recent apps" screen, everything else is black.

Send it back for a replacement/repair,don't waste any more time soliciting opinions.
While all input is well-meaning,it's doing nothing but eating up precious time for returns/exchanges before it turns into a warranty issue.

If it were a hardware fault then it would show not just on the recent tab screen, but all other black screens.?

Perhaps,but,the OP has compared the same paper & others w/another phone.
If it were me,I wouldn't waste another minute.
Of course,go through the usual steps before contacting Samsung (clear cache in recovery/factory reset if that doesn't do it).
Some here feel such returns are frivolous & drive up costs for everyone,that's what the mfgs want you to think to reduce returns.
Truth is,it's a business decision & the costs are already factored-in when they set the MSRP,whether they accept a certain percentage of defects as the cost of doing business,or,tighten up quality control to lessen the cost of servicing warranties/exchanges.
I guarantee the people who advocate for "sucking it up" for the greater good unicorn of lower costs wouldn't do so if it was their device having issues.
Regardless,if the phone is seemingly defective,it's everyone's right to expect Samsung to make good on their warranty.
If one sits on their hands & does nothing but post in forums about it,they're getting nothing but empty platitudes,as useful as a FB :good: ......

I once had an AMOLED black wallpaper on my note 8 that showed the upper area where the status bar was as slight lighter than the rest in the home screen, however in the apps screen it would be pitch black . One could notice it in a dark room. My case was software.
But yes, I get your point of view.

I've had two phones w/issues the mfg basically refused to acknowledge:
A Galaxy S3 that had Touch/zooming issues & an HTC M7 w/seriously FUBAR B/T issues on phone calls.
Haven't had hardware issues w/any phones since,but,that's where I'm coming from when I recommend people to immediately contact the mfg with any quality issues.
The sooner the better for getting the process started/documented.
At minimum,it's user error,so be it,no harm,it'll get figured out,but,only if the end user takes action directly w/the mfg if all else fails.

this is not an issue just an effect in recent apps. why would you think its a screen issue if it only happens under certain conditions/place?
note 8 is on 8.0 and note 9 is on 8.1 so maybe they just tweaked the effects a bit or maybe its just the theme.
people are so paranoid with the damn screens its beginning to be insane!
im thinking of opening a new thread for people issues using the note 9 .
note 9 paranoia is quite high, its as if people are begging for issues
Samsung customer support must be having high suicide rates this past month dealing with imaginary issues.
its probably making things hard for people that acctualy have legitimate issues... don't cry wolf

My post started with "possible" not "definetly". To my knowledge XDA FORUMS is a place for Q&A's unless I'm wrong. I'm definitely not paranoid about something that I can simply exchange. I swear some people on here contribute nothing to the forum but confusion. To the people that tried to help, Thank You.

I swapped it out. Once I updated the software on the new phone it started doing the same thing so I'm assuming that it's a software change. I compared it to a couple of friends Note 9s with updated software and same thing.

Full Screen gesture control like Paranoid Android's blink concept.

I came around this app called Fluid Navigation Gestures.
It's awesome, it needs some permissions to hide the navigation bar that you have to provide through adb commands. The instructions are clear and anyone can do all that.
There are unlimited possibilities for the way you navigate through this app, It's highly customisable. There is also a 1$ optional payment that opens up more customizations.

In my opinion, XDA's Navigation Gesture works better.
I tried both the apps and i prefer XDA

Yep but I like the cleaner look and animations of this app.
I dont like the pill, it look a bit iPhone like.
Yeah. I use this too. It's nice. Fully utilizes the screen
Tried both fluid Ng and xda's gesture navigation and I liked this one better.

I think the XDA one is ugly as hell and way less practical. WAY less useful. On this one you can go back by sliding the sides of the screen, like ios

thanks for the great tip, that's exactly what i was looking for. the app from xda was unfortunately not so great. thanks.
This is amazing. Loving it and already got pro cause devs like this should be supported.

No, just some permissions you would to provide through adb commands. All the instructions are there in the app and it's very easy to follow.

I've used it for a couple of weeks and I must say, it's amazing. I even bought the pro version, and the developer answers quite fast on Twitter. However, I noticed that my A2 is laggy due to framework bug. It's listed under the known issues, and I had to uninstall because of that. Has anyone else faced lag when using it on a mi a2?

Well no lags on my device, and the bug you said is not listed there, maybe it got fixed. Although there is a mention of lag due to accessibility service, but I never experienced it.
Only issue I have is faulty previous app function, at times it tries to open the app I am already in.
Here is the screenshot of known bugs in the app.

Sorry, I meant accessibility. It's been a few weeks already that I tried. Let's see if I'll have this problem again. This app can consistently change the way we use our soft keys phones, and I loved it
Wish Android had the swipe-to-back feature that iOS has had for years, its such a smooth experience.
MIUI has the same gestures OP suggested, but its so unnatural, same goes for these gestures.
Really nice app and "fluid". Been using since day 1 I got a2 lite, as I loved the full screen gesture on MIUI ROM.
Although I recently updated to Pie and this app (and others like this) are causing flickering issues.
EDIT
Turning on "disable HW overlays" in developer options fixes the flickering issue for now.
