OnePlus 5 "Jelly" scrolling - Should you be worried?

[D13H4RD2L1V3]

Tell us, die hard. What do your Elven eyes see?

Maybe mine does have it but I can't tell... I'd rather not pick at the thread unnecessarily...

Well, when he scrolled, I can see some compression at the top end. It's not immediately obvious but it did stick out to me after a while.

It's not as bad as I saw on others, but it's there, at least to my eyes.

I am not seeing any kind of such compression at the top. In fact this scrolling is same as I get in my U11 and S8.

I am discussing this at the XDA forums as well and this is crazy. Before you decide anything, please here me out and correct me if I am wrong.

Normal scrolling behavior. We just scro up and down to the speed and content we are looking/reading at. That's the normal behavior.

In order to see/experience this jelly effect, you have to switch from this normal scrolling behavior and induce the effect by:
"Keep the finger on the screen and scroll up and down. Never remove the finger from the screen, sometime change the speed. Accelerate and deacceleration your scrolling."

Come on guys, this is ridiculous. If jelly effect is abnormal so is this scrolling behavior. It's like doing something that is uncommon for almost all users and deeming that it's a problem for everyone.

If I have to induce this behavior, sorry, then this is wrong. If it affects my everyday scrolling, I will be furious and it does not.

Ok I just don't see it, and/or am not bother by it on my device! Mine scrolls smooth as silk!

I can see it on mine and compared to my S8+ it's very noticeable. Started the RMA process but OnePlus is making the RMA incredibly painful. if feels like they are stalling on what would be a simple RMA. They even want a picture of my case before they issues the RMA! If your planning on returning the phone better start early in your 15 days!

Mine works like champ! I wonder why mine doesn't have jelly effects?

 

[pkcable]

So I guess we are calling it Jellygate? lol

 

[nikholaspappas]

No problems with mine. Loving this phone so far

There is no issues, It's "natural"

It depends. Not all OP5s have a jelly scroll that's very noticeable.

digitalbreak's unit is likely one of the better ones.

I don't know how, but I could see it.

It's almost like my Moto Z when inverted, although in both cases, they aren't that obvious.

 

[pkcable]

Nothing noticeable on mine either!

Can you also take a video and show us? That way maybe it will help us understand how it looks in your device.

I made one..... (I'm no "Chak's Corner"!)....

Check it out here.

It's actually pretty subtle in this case. It isn't immediately obvious until you're actually looking at it.

It's more noticeable in this case because I slowed the playback down by 1/2.

I guess I just don't see it, or am not bothered by it! lol

Nah, in my case, it's really hard to see.

Like I said, it depends on the unit. Some are blatantly obvious while others are more subtle.

Here are two videos, one in Twitter app and the other in Reddit app. Please tell me if I am missing something. The scrolling seems fine and I don't see any jelly effect here.

I just looked at the two videos too and I couldn't see anything. Then again, if little glitches like this happen, I either don't really care or I just get used to it and continue on.

 

[digitalbreak]

Thanks @pkcable and @D13H4RD2L1V3 for the videos. I don't notice the effect in your devices too.

 

[D13H4RD2L1V3]

Yeah, I don't expect people to get it immediately. It's really subtle in my case and pk's.

Chances are, your OP5s are one of the better ones.
