Amoled screen AOD flickering

Did you solve this problem?  I have many users complaining of the same problem.  I think it is a Garmin hardware or software problem but I don't have an AMOLED watch to check it.

I have same problem, it’s clearly visible, kind of annoying. Have not succeeded to overcome the problem. Seems to appear on amoleds that uses the checkerboard method. Once you remove the checkerboard pattern in AOD mode, it stops flickering. 

Thanks for the suggestion.  I don't understand why the checkerboard could cause it. I will try that.  Can I ask what watch model are you using?

Epix 2 Pro 47mm

I tested with my watchfaces to cut a square in the checkerboard pattern, and inside the square no flicker and around it it flickers

I see. Interesting. I created an AOD test watchface instead because I don't have an AMOLED device.  I have reports of flickering on Marq 2, Tactix 7 AMOLED, Descent Mk3i 51mm  and Epix 2 models.   If you don't use a checkerboard, then what strategy do you use for burn-in protection?   Also have you had any luck getting Garmin to respond to this issue?  I have not.  If what you are saying is true, then it is a Garmin issue, as you are following all their guidelines.

This is my AOD test app.  Can you test the AOD display with the flicker test option with the AOD mask on then off?

The watches uses two methods if I’m correct. One with max 10% pixels and the other 10% luminance or similar. The only working solution is to either leave the checkerboard away, and put less on the seen so that it will not shut down. I’ve made some compromise, I cut e.g the time and date area out of the checkerboard pattern, that will leave the time and date clear and non flickering. The rest will have the flickering, until Garmin fixes this. I have not reported this, but I can remember somebody did, will it ever be fixed - Maybe - maybe not 

I see.  If you leave the time and date out of the checkerboard mask, then you will break the no pixel on for more than 3 minutes rule. I use both a 50% checkerboard mask  (2 in 4) and a 25% mask (1 in 4).  Have you tried both?

On system 7 and epix 2 pro watches the 3min rule are not in use and it works perfectly. Seems that the new 10% max luminance works. Maybe the flickering is something new, so that the pixels move very fast, like flickering? Works both in simulator and also on a real device. Older than system7 seems to use the checkerboard correctly and the 3 min each pixel will apply. I don’t have many watches to test IRL but maybe somebody else can contribute to this problem. 
But you are correct, to get maximum compability, all of these methods must be used.

Maybe it's connected with pixel switching made by system?
