eyestrainsolutions not yet. This is my first foray into OnePlus. For me, dimming is not a problem - and while I am sympathetic with those for whom it is, my focus is on solving my particular issue which is rendering problems. I have a phone that is 100% usable for long periods under Android 5.0.2, but the next official release is Android 6.0 and it becomes 100% unusable with that update due to changes in the way the system renders. I'm focusing first on hardware that supports a theretically-good OS version (Paranoid Android).
OnePlus 3 Project
Gurm I suggest you to try the dc dimming option, i believe it doesn't only change dimminng, for example the colors also change and are less accurate. I also haven't tried it yet, but hope to do it soon.
My mistake, PA5 was not available for the OnePlus3. PA6 was, though. Looking for the link now.
My brand-new-in-box OnePlus3 has arrived today. The project begins tonight!
So, bad news. I started with the OnePlus3T. The display was... moderately unusable out of box with OxygenOS.
After a couple hours of flashing, I got Paranoid Android onto it - and immediately noticed a couple things.
First - and most importantly - the display was better but not great. I will play with it a little, but I'm not hopeful here. Whatever made it usable for the other folks on here who found it to be ok... clearly doesn't do it for me.
Secondly, I had a similar problem to AGI, where the WiFi didn't work and some other ancillary things (screen unlock, etc.) were a little goofy. I'm confident I can overcome these issues, but only if the display is worthwhile.
I'm going to restore to the latest OxygenOS, and take it from here.
Gurm Whenever I use apps that change the display's color (f.lux-like) or when I use night mode or other color profiles than default, the eye strain is back immediately. It seems those functions activate something. I didn't realize this at first and almost returned the device back then. I also must stay away from the PWM brightness levels, buy I think I remember you said PWM doesn't affect you.
Did you try different color profiles? As far as I remember somebody here stated that only one color profile on PA worked well. And I am not sure in which firmware release (maybe try older Android version).
Yeah I am going to try downgrading to PA6, and see if that helps any.
- Edited
KM As interesting as puzzling. I too find those software do not improve my condition. I stopped using Iris although I paid for a life membership. I am now back on f.lux but only because it is said blue is bad. When I reboot and the screen is non-filtered it does not feel worse, it is probably even less harsh.
any 2020 oneplus update?
Still good on PA. It seems it's 3 of us now that can use the OnePlus 3. Not sure about current OS versions.
