OnePlus 5T review—An outstanding combination of specs, design, and price 10
Weird that I have June 14 yet having the problem. Maybe due to the polarization of the screen?
Post navigation
The lockscreen, notification panel, settings, and recent apps all function the way you would expect them to with only a few minor tweaks from OnePlus. Felt that OnePlus made a bad move by taking the AMA last week, when people were mad about design, wifi issue, price and stuff. This is where bullshit drama begins. One plus one mobile price in india and features Thanks for this, I wasn't too sure if the effect was more or less noticeable because of the camera. How about you prove that this ISN'T the issue? As you scroll the jelly effect is caused by the previous displayed image merging with the updates image.
Find the good stuff
I didn't even invert it, i just held it upside-down while locked to normal portrait mode. The spacing on this fourth button doesn't make any sense either.

I did see that in the comments somewhere but even when I look at the bottom and scroll up I still don't see a jelly effect. For rehosted content, post the original source instead. This is a much better approach than what you get on a Samsung or LG, as both companies re-skin the entire OS to look like a totally different beast. I'm looking for someone as OP claimed to teardown the phone and say "Oddly enough, it seems that the display is mounted upside down".
Banking oneplus 5t jelly scrolling up and down is slow
10.02.2018 - I thought we were just talking about a design to have the display refresh from bottom to top. This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices. People saying they're sending their phones back over this are seriously nitpicking an otherwise very good phone. Also this thing with Samsung cameras is common knowledge. I just tried holding my opo3 upside down and it does the same. Maybe if I rotate my body degrees a d stand on my head. You can fully customize what shows up in the status bar, showing or hiding things like the clock, auto rotate status, Wi-Fi, and cellular network.

13.02.2018 - So I'm not seeing this. The display is built by Samsung, which is basically the only company that makes high-quality OLED panels for smartphones. The lock screen, home screen, and app drawer. There is so much misinformation posted here, on XDA, and on other forums that you'll rarely get solid information from anything. The fact that it doesn't implies something needs to be fixed.

That doesn't mean all devices are affected tho. Mine is totally fine and I'm aware of this jelly effect. Please post a video of som scrolling up and down in Instagram, I found it is most noticeable there with images not videos as much.
I am assuming that all OP5's have this issue, but some people don't notice it. Since all displays will have been mounted upside down by design, the screen panel refresh direction will also be inverted on all of them.
I don't see it on mine either. I tried to turn mine upside down but it actually won't rotate the screen. I think that might be it for me. I was already on the fence about keeping it, doing an RMA seems like such a hassle.
I'm also VERY on the fence. I feel like when you buy a phone though you should already know you're gonna buy it with no prior issues or questions asked. This on the other hand, I keep going both ways.
The price is right but the camera, jelly scrolling, horror stories on this sub, customer support, and whatever else I'm forgetting make me think otherwise. I miss android though. I'd be surprised if it's because they accidentally mounted a display the wrong way.
More likely it's refreshing in the opposite direction. Hopefully it's fixable via an update. I honestly think no manufacturer would be that stupid. I thought about it enough. Wouldn't the little sensor in the upper left corner of your screen, which I believe to be part of the screen, be on the down right corner?
If it really is an hardware problem, flipping your phone should move the jelly effect, not make it disappear. Basically, the screen draws pixels, row by row, from the top down normally.
Majority of the time, you're scrolling down, so jelly is less visible. Also, you tend to look at the top two thirds of your screen more than the bottom. However because the panel on the OnePlus 5 is mounted upside down by design, scrolling down is actually like scrolling up, and the pixel rows are refreshing in the opposite direction of the stuff on screen, so there's a bit of lag refreshing the last bits.
It's sorta like how things come out stretched when you film something and move the camera too fast. Hope that clears things up a little! I did see that in the comments somewhere but even when I look at the bottom and scroll up I still don't see a jelly effect.
It's an optical illusion, if you flip yourself instead of the phone and look at the bottom, it still jellies. No idea how that works lol. Yeah I figured but it's creepy how you don't notice it when it's in a normal rotation.
I guess it's just you're accustomed to it? I'd credit it to the fact that I never look at the bottom of the screen except to type, but yeah, it's definitely being accustomed, otherwise a subtle change wouldn't have made a whole community notice.
Even if I do look at the bottom of the screen while scrolling I still don't notice it. Was about to laugh it off but decided to try it anyway and lo and behold, no more jelly while scrolling.
Decided to try it on another phone that didn't have this problem and it turned into jelly after turning it upside down. Now to find out why this happens. It is probably due to how displays work with the content being refreshed from top to bottom.
If you now rotate the display by degrees, the content is refreshed from bottom to top which might be noticeable. But I still don't understand how turning it upside down would affect this. Why don't we see it right-side-up?
I rotated my phone degrees and I was not able to cause the jelly effect. Are you sure this is the cause? No, I've tried it several times today, it's definitely there. But not so extreme as in the video.
But in theory if a normal phone is rotated degrees it should be able to produce the effect if turning it degrees fixes it in an upside down mounted display? And I thought I was one of the picky ones.
Thanks for the update. Unfortunate that they decided to go this route.. I guess they never expected flipping the screen upside down would cause this phenomenon.. It's likely there, you might be able to see it if you scroll up and down really fast, but even then it's slight, and the jelly effect isn't noticable in everyday use.
If you don't see it, then just enjoy your OP5 and don't worry about the jelly: The Jelly effect is barely noticeable, only if you pay attention to every single icon and look very very close, and still one icon or two moves just about a few pixels.
I actually find the effect quite noticeable on my HTC 10 when held upside down. It would be enough for me to return the phone, for sure. Glad I'm reading about this now as I was thinking about ordering an OP5.
Haha so it does not matter what side the screen is installed. Either u have it at the bottom or at the top. It is just more noticeable at the top cause that's where we are looking at.
If the S8 has it then the Samsung displays are to blame. I downloaded a rotate app and set it to rotate degrees to simulate the screen installed upside down. I think this one is the best to notice the effect: My op3 did that shit, especially noticable in a dark room with text scrolling.
Bah, guess I'll return my day old op5. URL shorteners are banned site-wide from Reddit we're just nice enough to let you know. You are welcome to repost your comment with the full URL, rather than the shortened one goo.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. I have a galaxy s6, and at first I couldn't see it, but if you pay close attention it's there.
I find it most noticeable in facebook or instagram. Really wish oneplus would put some effort into fixing it.. I will most likely send it back otherwise. People are saying you can't see it when you flip the phone over.
This is not true. Clearly there is some effect of refresh happening and it's more visible at the "top" of the screen. Since we're used to primarily looking at the top of our screens when scrolling, we notice it more.
If you flip the phone over and pay more attention to the bottom, you'll see it there too. How do you know if it's because the display was mounted upside down and or they screwed up their code? Wow, tried it on my Moto G.
It's faint, but I see what people are talking about. To be fair, I actually kinda like it. Yes, it's faint on the OP5 too. Juuust enough to notice it occasionally. For some reason I primarily see it on facebook.
It seems like it's gotten worse since I first received the phone. Almost as if the more processes that are running in the background, the worse it gets for me. I could be crazy though.
I don't know if I don't notice it, but I can't seem to reproduce the jelly effect on my Moto Z play edit: It might be had to notice. But she also can't see the difference in framerates over 45 FPS.
Maybe that has something to do with it. Cannot notice the effect when flipped on my 3. Maybe if I rotate my body degrees a d stand on my head. Nope, i have a keen eye normally too. I'm scrolling fast and slow, looking for any shakey movement, presumably left and right I expect, but nothing.
All edges of text stay perfectly in line. Nope, people who have experienced it said it happens on everything that has scrolling, I believe. Just seen a vid of a demo of the issue.
Is it really an issue? Thought it was a deliberate transition. A slowing down braking transition deliberately there when scrolling. Just like a trackpad on a Mac has.
Creating a smoother feel. Maybe only specific phones do it. But I tried on the three I have available to me at the moment, I noticed it on all, some worse than others. However, none were as bad as the OnePlus.
You guys really know how to nitpick the fuck out of anything. Just hold on a goddamn minute. They will fix it. The problem is that it may not be fixable. Unless they can force the screen to refresh from the top to the bottom.
Someone on the subreddit mentioned there are teardown videos showing that the display was installed upside down by design. Most of us use the majority of phone time looking at the screen.
If there's an obvious issue with the primary component, it is a big deal. Especially if it makes people nauseous. If you bought a pair of surround headphones and the left and right speakers were switched, would you "get used to it," or do something about it?
That's two very different things. A little bit of screen animation that's how I'm choosing to look at it isn't much of a problem. It's not changing anything. You don't read while the screen is scrolling that fast.
The problem isn't when the screen scrolls fast, mostly when it's slow-medium speed. But it's not a matter of visibility. It makes almost all horizontal animations wonky, and causes what looks like screen tearing.
There are some complaints from users, including myself, that it can make you kind of nauseous if you have sensitive eyes. Definitely doesn't look like screen tearing. It it did it would be called that.
It's still not something that happens when the screen isn't scrolling. It's such a small inconvenience. It would not be called screen tearing unless it the GPU couldn't output full frames at each reset.
That's why I said it looks like screen tearing. What may not be an issue to you may be an issue to others. Try to be empathetic instead of rude. Yes, I get the effect on my galaxy S7 when upside down, especially noticeable on Twitter.
But I kind of like it ;-. I noticed it and was curious if I was seeing things. Now knowing that it's happening for everyone and it's just a matter of the refresh happening bottom to top, I don't have to wonder anymore.
People saying they're sending their phones back over this are seriously nitpicking an otherwise very good phone. I honestly cant tell if mine has it or not, but then again i dont really notice it on the videos ether so maybe I shouldnt go looking for it lol.
So I'm not seeing this. But I just tried to flip mine upside down and it's not changing the screen. This is the "touch latency" of the op5, meaning that it's not really there but people will complain about it endlessly as if their phone is literally broken.

Want to add to the discussion? If this is such an easily verifiable fact, why can't you just share it? I have a OP5 and turning it upside does nothing but confuses my eyes.
Not such a big of an issue for me. I was wondering this too, but it may be due to the screen updates going against the hardware refresh direction. I agree, this looks very similar to what is called screen-tearing, which is commonly seen in high framerate games that disable syncing the framebuffer to the display's refresh to improve performance.
Presumably to keep the scrolling experience smooth, Android appears to have some sort of compensation for screen-tearing built in, but it works backwards when the screen is refreshing in reverse, since the OS has no way of knowing the screen is refreshing in reverse, it just keeps compensating, thinking it's doing the right thing.
I watched it a couple of times and I can't figure out what I'm looking for. What is happening as you scroll? I see it a lot easier on the video down below for some reason even though this one should be easier.
When its in slomo you can see the greyish looking bar moving from bottom to top on the OP5. On the other two phones it moves from top to bottom. It is showing that the display if definitely mounted upside down.
Why is this an issue? I have computer monitors that I can use in any orientation with no problems. It's not a big problem, it's just something annoying that a lot of people noticed when they got their shiny new phones.
It's not common practice for manufacturers to install displays upside down, and now we know why. Basically it's oneplus making a rookie mistake, it may or may not be a big deal depending on how many people decide it's a dealbreaker.
Let's wait and see. Why would they do that? What is the logical reason behind assembling your device wrongfully lol. Hang on, are we actually talking about the physical display unit being mounted upside down?
I thought we were just talking about a design to have the display refresh from bottom to top. AFAIK different displays have different viewing angles from different sides, this could theoretically mean your display is actually more legible when viewed upside down.
Head-on when you're directly facing the device the viewing angle should be the same for most if not all displays being that that's how we often look at our phones.
Almost all Samsung phones have the camera upside down Some apps don't properly correct for it so you end up with upside down photos. Probably the ribbon cable was in the way of the other camera, or something.
Remember that devices are sometimes really cramped in space. And incredibly sensitive to stray electro-magnetic forces. For example, from a long, phone-crossing ribbon cable.
I turned my Pixel XL upside down, and sure enough the same visual effects is present. Can someone eli5 how this only happens upside down scrolling both ways and not right side up scrolling up and down?
Amoled doesn't refresh the entire screen at once. It refreshes a single line from bottom to top. As you scroll the jelly effect is caused by the previous displayed image merging with the updates image.
It's the human eye, we aren't looking at the area below our thumb because it is obscured by our thumb. We are looking at the area above it. So when the refresh comes from top to bottom the merge point which cause the jelly effect is now above our thumb and thus we notice it.
To my knowledge there's no way for Oneplus to fix this, perhaps if they increase the display refresh rate it'd help. Androids makers are probably doing it for similar reasons. I see it on my Pixel just by looking at the phone upside down, but still keeping the phone rotated like normal.
Same thing with my Nexus 5. I don't understand it either, if you can see this jello effect with your phone upside down and scrolling down, why don't you see with your phone in normal orientation and scrolling up?
Is it just that the same 'squishing' always happens but we normally don't perceive it because it happens at the bottom instead of the top of the screen and we're used to it? However I too was able to reproduce just by turning my phone upside down, without doing anything to make autorotate change.
The screen is displaying the same thing regardless of orientation, it's just that our eyes and a camera perceive it differently. Maybe due to the polarization of the screen?
I don't get a jelly effect when my phone is upside down, but it does lag, a lot. I never knew this was a thing. Absolutely nothing changes but the viewing angle and suddenly jelly scrolling?
I commented on this yesterday. The "active" area of the screen when using PWM goes from the top of the screen and runs like a stripe down to the bottom. I think when you scroll against this direction it causes the squishing because you are scrolling "into" the direction the pixels are being lit.
But sometimes you scroll up and sometimes you scroll down, no matter which way the device is oriented. Sorry, but by that analogy, scrolling down on a normal phone would show the effect as you're scrolling into the refreshing lines.
And the opposite for the op5. So then why do you have to rotate the phone to replicate the effect? Shouldn't it happen just from scrolling up on other devices? The NotebookCheck review of the phone I have confirms this.
Zenfone 3, model number ZEKL if anyone wants to check. What's also funny is that while I see the issue with my phone turned upside down, I don't see it when both me and my phone are turned upside down.
If I turn my head so that the phone and my head are upside down so it looks right side up to me, I don't see the issue. This suggests to me that in the case of phones other than the OP5, it could just be an optical illusion brought on by you not being used to looking at your phone with everything on the screen upside down.
The backlight driving circuitry is distinct from the subpixel driving circuitry on an LCD display. Hmm that is odd, I just tried that on my Pixel and I didn't see the visual effect as described.
Maybe I am not doing something right? This is supposed to happen to ALL phones when inverted degrees right? It might have something to do with the way we perceive the image on the screen, but holy shit that's so weird.
Yeah i get the same effect when i turn my S8 upside down too, I doubt OnePlus will be able to fix this with a software update. How would the screen being upside down cause "jelly scrolling"?
I turned my phone upside down and this didn't happen. No effin' Amoled thus no greenish tint or image burn-in. No physical home button. Currently runs on 7. Please tell me to study.
I know the screen tech is different, but just practicing scientific method. Then again, she swears the 4K displays in Best Buy don't look any different than our 5 year old P Sony unit.
Under normal use e. Depends on normal use though. Such as screen size and distance from the eye as well as the image displayed. This is fucking insane. Some users theorized that the jelly effect could be caused by an inverted display panel before we even had proof, then lo and behold, somebody opens the phone and it's true.
This is especially damning. Part of me wants to say "how could they have known that this issue would happen? I wonder if Oneplus can recover from this. Is there anything they can do as a software fix?
Change the refresh rate? You can't change the top-to-bottom refresh method with software, can you? Will the Oneplus 5 just be stuck with this issue forever? Just flipped my Moto Z, it's affected when the screen is upside down.
I've got to ask, why would this matter? Scrolling goes both ways. Why would it being inverted make any difference whatsoever? That said, I just turned my Nexus 6 over and I get an ever so slight effect, but nothing like the video in the article shows.
Well for starters the video is super slowed down for the sake of showing what it looks like. It'll never be that obvious. To answer why it makes a difference, it's a quirk of how our eyes and brain see stuff.
Most displays actually, almost all kinds of screens refresh the screen pixel by pixel, starting from 0,0 then working their way left to right, top to bottom. Basically they refresh line 1 0,0 to 0, left to right, then line 2, 3, so on.
The human eye with the brain is used to seeing this refresh happening in a certain way. Where the jelly effect kind of happens is generally at the bottom of the screen, which is generally out of sight and mind.
It only gets more obvious when you have what would be the bottom of the screen to the top because you aren't used to seeing it there. I have a OnePlus5, I honestly don't know there is a problem with scrolling.
Very sad to see a complete lack of competence from this company. Had such high hopes for it. Guess my OnePlus 3t will be my last OnePlus. Just flipped my op3 upside down and get the jelly scrolling, but that's not something that would bother me.
Apple doesn't understand that people like headphone jacks but at least they put their screens the right side up. I'm sure there's a reason for putting it upsidedown but it's pretty hilarious.
Felt that OnePlus made a bad move by taking the AMA last week, when people were mad about design, wifi issue, price and stuff. But now that feels like a Champion move. We've received feedback from a small number of users saying that at times they notice a subtle visual effect when scrolling.
This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices. This issue is not as big as Galaxy Note 7's battery explosion issue, not even close. But with the way OnePlus has handled this, and it's reputation of being insensitive to user support requests, can together cause big financial loss for OnePlus.
And make no mistake OnePlus is no Samsung to take huge losses. OnePlus will have to act quick and try bring sanity, if it has to get back to a better position.
Thia has been 2 reckless months of madness, all starting with OnePlus 2 Nougat, followed up with a not-so-likeable design, pricing, multiple issues in what should have been a great phone.
I honestly don't know what to make of this, especially after I thought they had finally matured after OnePlus 3. Likely it's due to the refresh that normally might start from top to bottom, thus maybe "helping" with the scrolling animation.
If the display is the other way around, the phone would still render the same animation, but the refresh would "work against" such scrolling, thus likely increasing the amount of jelly that we can perceive.
Mine is just a guess. But it happens when scrolling up or down I really can't wrap my head around why this happens. Bingo, just like with CRTs. They refresh a certain way and when you alter your viewing angle dramatically, the refresh is very visible, particularly at lower hertz rates.

(OnePlus 5T Launch) PSA: display jelly effect is caused by the OnePlus 5 if it is mounted upside down then scrolling up will make a thing elongate and. have been popping up lately. The OnePlus 5T's jelly scrolling." OnePlus made an engineering decision to mount the OnePlus 5 display upside down and then.
I was able to locate a video showing a 3T display panel opened up, but couldn't find a OP5 teardown where this has happened yet. It's a delicate process that can easily break the display is my guess why.
I could have sworn I saw teardown videos being the source of information at least twice, which led me to post this topic. Frankly, I don't care if it's the reason - it got more people's attention which is the only way this stands a chance at being fixed.
My goal was to act fast, draw more attention, and pray OnePlus noticed - they have. That's not to say there's zero information to back up this claim though. An XDA contributor saw inside the source code that the display panel was infact inverted compared to the 3T source code - perhaps that is where I initially got the idea from, and my memory hiccuped after seeing a teardown comment or something.
Flipping other devices upside down has also produced a noticeable jelly effect on their displays too. This isn't "more credible information". This article literally quotes this Reddit thread as proof.
You've spawned this and now you're responsible if it doesn't turn out to be true. You made it seem like it was a "PSA" and a "fact", and now, as expected, the usual sites are pickign up on it and repeating it as fact despite not having any hard evidence to cite anywhere.
This is exactly how we fucking elected Trump, this kind of lack of fact checking, just on a much smaller level. Zero evidence the jelly effect exists? Pretty sure I posted videos and images of it on my device.
Pretty sure other people have posted videos as well, and their experience with it. Should I change the title to "jelly effect may be caused by Who gives a shit. There is so much misinformation posted here, on XDA, and on other forums that you'll rarely get solid information from anything.
You're on a discussion board where anyone can post whatever the fuck they want. You're in the wrong place if you're looking for scientific evidence of every god damn thing you're concerned with. As far as I am concerned, this is the problem.
Android Police just posted their video review of the OP5, and I could see plain as day the jelly effect when they were using the device. It's a fucking problem and either OnePlus is going to fix it, or they fucked up and will reap the losses because myself and other people will certainly be returning the phone because of this issue.
Yes you fucking should. Because you do not fucking know for sure. Most people don't struggle with this concept but you seem to be having insane issues with it. Yeah, I'm sure that if I just made a random post somewhere saying "oh I looked at the source it's caused by the front facing camera" you'd probably decide that was the problem as well.
What a bunch of raving baseless nonsense. You still don't get it, after so many posts You've also failed to show any hard facts that the display is even mounted "upside down", and furthermore, not knowing that either the jelly effect or the upside down displays are facts, you've now decided they're connected.
But you'll bitch and bitch about how this is all just to get OnePlus to do something, which is fine But running around screaming to the world that the display is mounted upside down and being unable to PROVE that it is, that's bullshit.
How about you prove that this ISN'T the issue? The anecdotal evidence available right now points to at least some displays being mounted inverted. You don't have shit to prove this isn't the problem either.
What the actual fuck? You want me to prove a negative? YOU made the claim, and you are unable to provide proof to back up the claim, why do I need to prove that your claim is incorrect?! Do the goddamn work and cite the goddamn sources, be hungry for the truth, and be vigilant for the facts.
You finally managed to produce a source with facts. While you jump around in joy thinking you won some major fight, try to keep in mind that not once did I say that you were wrong.
You were actually quite close, all you had to do was ask eng. But none of this nuance is going to matter to you, you're still probably thinking "oh haha I was right all along deal with it", completely oblivious to the fact that we were at no point arguing about whether or not you were correct, but whether or not you had sources to back up your claims.
Flip your phone upside down and use it. I just tried it on a OP3 and understood what the fuss was about. If its caused by the way the screen refreshes from top to bottom then it will happen whichever way the screen is mounted, just in the opposite direction.
I didn't even know that this happens with every screen. Now I see it on other phones too. But thats nothing what makes me return my OP5. What's the refresh rate on that screen?
It seems to me that increasing it would reduce this effect. I'm not sure what it is, I just wanted to point out a logical flaw in what people were all repeating earlier. I'm not about to return my phone.
Fuck that No way. Is it possible to fix this via software? Honestly its one of the risks with ordering right on release day. Same thing with the G6 and S8. If you return and buy again later, you probably wont have the issue.
Or hold on to it for a couple months and RMA once the demand has gone down and the issues are worked out. Whatever the issue ends up being, as was with the yellowed screen of the OPO, RMA requests will be denied and you'll be told it doesn't impede functionality.
Every new OnePlus device, I come back to the subreddit hoping things are different, but. Came here to update my last comment and noticed yours: What's your phone's manufacturing date?
It's in the Box. What it means is that by design OnePlus has placed the screen in the phone at an orientation that is degrees from what it was on the 3T. If that is the case, all phones will be affected by this.
If you can't see it lucky you, but it is there. Yeah, it's not like the display ribbon cable is going to magically transpose itself. Installing by accident would move this connector to not be installable But if the refresh is backwards from normal, I'd think there would be a way to get the display to reverse refresh direction.
That's the million dollar question. Because I'll have to return it if it's not fixable: See and here I was being downvoted for this exact comment. Of course OP isn't putting the panels upside down by accident.
That wouldn't make sense in how the phone is designed. So if this is a by design it is hopefully intended and perhaps fixable by software. I just made this image, from the placement of the connector cable it does look like the display is mounted upside down Again, I appreciate the attempt, but I'm looking for definitive proof of the orientation of the display, not an inference based on location of connector.
I'm looking for someone as OP claimed to teardown the phone and say "Oddly enough, it seems that the display is mounted upside down". I just want to see hard evidence, not just "I saw this and conflated this but XDA said this so I'm pretty sure of this".
The display is the exact same hardware exact same Samsung part number in the 3T and 5, in the 3T the connector is above the display, and in the 5 it's below the display.
Therefore I can conclude it's mounted upside down. Of course you can just flip the output image like you can on some computer graphic cards, I'm guessing there's an internal algorithm inside the display itself the images are being updated which makes it look "jelly".
I don't care if you believe me or not, I'm pretty convinced that "it's upside down! But I'm not going to speculate whether this is the cause of the jelly effect or not.
This image basically proves it all. I hope they can invert the refresh rate to make it refresh from bottom to top which is top to bottom on the OP5 lol. I just made this image, from the placement of the connector cable it does look like the display is mounted upside down.
This isn't really the definitive proof I was looking for, but at least unlike OP you have made some attempt to examine and post up something, so kudos to you.
He seems to be ignoring anyone who's asking for a link. He was totally fine with running around telling everyone that this was a "PSA" and implying that everything he's said is undeniable fact.
He hasn't addressed a simple request for a video that he says proves he is correct, whta's up with that? All devices are affected. Some people just can't notice it. Be glad you can't see it. I never experience a touch latency on the OP3.
There's definitely a different from device to device. Have you seen the super absurd jello on video? I sure as hell don't have that That doesn't mean all devices are affected tho. Mine is totally fine and I'm aware of this jelly effect.
Please post a video of som scrolling up and down in Instagram, I found it is most noticeable there with images not videos as much. I am assuming that all OP5's have this issue, but some people don't notice it.
Since all displays will have been mounted upside down by design, the screen panel refresh direction will also be inverted on all of them. I don't see it on mine either. I tried to turn mine upside down but it actually won't rotate the screen.
I think that might be it for me. I was already on the fence about keeping it, doing an RMA seems like such a hassle. I'm also VERY on the fence. I feel like when you buy a phone though you should already know you're gonna buy it with no prior issues or questions asked.
This on the other hand, I keep going both ways. The price is right but the camera, jelly scrolling, horror stories on this sub, customer support, and whatever else I'm forgetting make me think otherwise.
I miss android though. I'd be surprised if it's because they accidentally mounted a display the wrong way. More likely it's refreshing in the opposite direction. Hopefully it's fixable via an update.
I honestly think no manufacturer would be that stupid. I thought about it enough. Wouldn't the little sensor in the upper left corner of your screen, which I believe to be part of the screen, be on the down right corner?
If it really is an hardware problem, flipping your phone should move the jelly effect, not make it disappear. Basically, the screen draws pixels, row by row, from the top down normally. Majority of the time, you're scrolling down, so jelly is less visible.
Also, you tend to look at the top two thirds of your screen more than the bottom. However because the panel on the OnePlus 5 is mounted upside down by design, scrolling down is actually like scrolling up, and the pixel rows are refreshing in the opposite direction of the stuff on screen, so there's a bit of lag refreshing the last bits.
It's sorta like how things come out stretched when you film something and move the camera too fast. Hope that clears things up a little! I did see that in the comments somewhere but even when I look at the bottom and scroll up I still don't see a jelly effect.
It's an optical illusion, if you flip yourself instead of the phone and look at the bottom, it still jellies. No idea how that works lol. Yeah I figured but it's creepy how you don't notice it when it's in a normal rotation.
I guess it's just you're accustomed to it? I'd credit it to the fact that I never look at the bottom of the screen except to type, but yeah, it's definitely being accustomed, otherwise a subtle change wouldn't have made a whole community notice.
Even if I do look at the bottom of the screen while scrolling I still don't notice it. Was about to laugh it off but decided to try it anyway and lo and behold, no more jelly while scrolling.
Decided to try it on another phone that didn't have this problem and it turned into jelly after turning it upside down. Now to find out why this happens. It is probably due to how displays work with the content being refreshed from top to bottom.
If you now rotate the display by degrees, the content is refreshed from bottom to top which might be noticeable. But I still don't understand how turning it upside down would affect this.
Why don't we see it right-side-up? I rotated my phone degrees and I was not able to cause the jelly effect. Are you sure this is the cause? No, I've tried it several times today, it's definitely there.
But not so extreme as in the video. But in theory if a normal phone is rotated degrees it should be able to produce the effect if turning it degrees fixes it in an upside down mounted display?
And I thought I was one of the picky ones. Thanks for the update. Unfortunate that they decided to go this route.. I guess they never expected flipping the screen upside down would cause this phenomenon..
It's likely there, you might be able to see it if you scroll up and down really fast, but even then it's slight, and the jelly effect isn't noticable in everyday use. If you don't see it, then just enjoy your OP5 and don't worry about the jelly: The Jelly effect is barely noticeable, only if you pay attention to every single icon and look very very close, and still one icon or two moves just about a few pixels.
We are looking at the area above it. So when the refresh comes from top to bottom the merge point which cause the jelly effect is now above our thumb and thus we notice it. To my knowledge there's no way for Oneplus to fix this, perhaps if they increase the display refresh rate it'd help.
Androids makers are probably doing it for similar reasons. I see it on my Pixel just by looking at the phone upside down, but still keeping the phone rotated like normal.
Same thing with my Nexus 5. I don't understand it either, if you can see this jello effect with your phone upside down and scrolling down, why don't you see with your phone in normal orientation and scrolling up?
Is it just that the same 'squishing' always happens but we normally don't perceive it because it happens at the bottom instead of the top of the screen and we're used to it? However I too was able to reproduce just by turning my phone upside down, without doing anything to make autorotate change.
The screen is displaying the same thing regardless of orientation, it's just that our eyes and a camera perceive it differently. Maybe due to the polarization of the screen?
I don't get a jelly effect when my phone is upside down, but it does lag, a lot. I never knew this was a thing. Absolutely nothing changes but the viewing angle and suddenly jelly scrolling?
I commented on this yesterday. The "active" area of the screen when using PWM goes from the top of the screen and runs like a stripe down to the bottom.
I think when you scroll against this direction it causes the squishing because you are scrolling "into" the direction the pixels are being lit. But sometimes you scroll up and sometimes you scroll down, no matter which way the device is oriented.
Sorry, but by that analogy, scrolling down on a normal phone would show the effect as you're scrolling into the refreshing lines. And the opposite for the op5. So then why do you have to rotate the phone to replicate the effect?
Shouldn't it happen just from scrolling up on other devices? The NotebookCheck review of the phone I have confirms this. Zenfone 3, model number ZEKL if anyone wants to check.
What's also funny is that while I see the issue with my phone turned upside down, I don't see it when both me and my phone are turned upside down. If I turn my head so that the phone and my head are upside down so it looks right side up to me, I don't see the issue.
This suggests to me that in the case of phones other than the OP5, it could just be an optical illusion brought on by you not being used to looking at your phone with everything on the screen upside down.
The backlight driving circuitry is distinct from the subpixel driving circuitry on an LCD display. Hmm that is odd, I just tried that on my Pixel and I didn't see the visual effect as described.
Maybe I am not doing something right? This is supposed to happen to ALL phones when inverted degrees right? It might have something to do with the way we perceive the image on the screen, but holy shit that's so weird.
Yeah i get the same effect when i turn my S8 upside down too, I doubt OnePlus will be able to fix this with a software update. How would the screen being upside down cause "jelly scrolling"?
I turned my phone upside down and this didn't happen. No effin' Amoled thus no greenish tint or image burn-in. No physical home button. Currently runs on 7. Please tell me to study. I know the screen tech is different, but just practicing scientific method.
Then again, she swears the 4K displays in Best Buy don't look any different than our 5 year old P Sony unit. Under normal use e. Depends on normal use though.
Such as screen size and distance from the eye as well as the image displayed. This is fucking insane. Some users theorized that the jelly effect could be caused by an inverted display panel before we even had proof, then lo and behold, somebody opens the phone and it's true.
This is especially damning. Part of me wants to say "how could they have known that this issue would happen? I wonder if Oneplus can recover from this. Is there anything they can do as a software fix?
Change the refresh rate? You can't change the top-to-bottom refresh method with software, can you? Will the Oneplus 5 just be stuck with this issue forever?
Just flipped my Moto Z, it's affected when the screen is upside down. I've got to ask, why would this matter? Scrolling goes both ways. Why would it being inverted make any difference whatsoever?
That said, I just turned my Nexus 6 over and I get an ever so slight effect, but nothing like the video in the article shows. Well for starters the video is super slowed down for the sake of showing what it looks like.
It'll never be that obvious. To answer why it makes a difference, it's a quirk of how our eyes and brain see stuff. Most displays actually, almost all kinds of screens refresh the screen pixel by pixel, starting from 0,0 then working their way left to right, top to bottom.
Basically they refresh line 1 0,0 to 0, left to right, then line 2, 3, so on. The human eye with the brain is used to seeing this refresh happening in a certain way. Where the jelly effect kind of happens is generally at the bottom of the screen, which is generally out of sight and mind.
It only gets more obvious when you have what would be the bottom of the screen to the top because you aren't used to seeing it there. I have a OnePlus5, I honestly don't know there is a problem with scrolling.
Very sad to see a complete lack of competence from this company. Had such high hopes for it. Guess my OnePlus 3t will be my last OnePlus. Just flipped my op3 upside down and get the jelly scrolling, but that's not something that would bother me.
Apple doesn't understand that people like headphone jacks but at least they put their screens the right side up. I'm sure there's a reason for putting it upsidedown but it's pretty hilarious.
Felt that OnePlus made a bad move by taking the AMA last week, when people were mad about design, wifi issue, price and stuff. But now that feels like a Champion move. We've received feedback from a small number of users saying that at times they notice a subtle visual effect when scrolling.
This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices. This issue is not as big as Galaxy Note 7's battery explosion issue, not even close.
But with the way OnePlus has handled this, and it's reputation of being insensitive to user support requests, can together cause big financial loss for OnePlus. And make no mistake OnePlus is no Samsung to take huge losses.
OnePlus will have to act quick and try bring sanity, if it has to get back to a better position. Thia has been 2 reckless months of madness, all starting with OnePlus 2 Nougat, followed up with a not-so-likeable design, pricing, multiple issues in what should have been a great phone.
I honestly don't know what to make of this, especially after I thought they had finally matured after OnePlus 3. Likely it's due to the refresh that normally might start from top to bottom, thus maybe "helping" with the scrolling animation.
If the display is the other way around, the phone would still render the same animation, but the refresh would "work against" such scrolling, thus likely increasing the amount of jelly that we can perceive.
Mine is just a guess. But it happens when scrolling up or down I really can't wrap my head around why this happens. Bingo, just like with CRTs. They refresh a certain way and when you alter your viewing angle dramatically, the refresh is very visible, particularly at lower hertz rates.

Sultan is a fucking legend! I just switched to a top from a bottom and I hate it. No doubt I'll get used to it though. I put my phone in my pocket upside-down, meaning bottom works better.
I like all my ports on one side, I think it looks nicer. Likely 60fps at half speed. I just tried holding my opo3 upside down and it does the same. And nobody thought it was a good idea to test that feature for a display mounted backwards.
