What am I seening here?
It seems that when I have my phone close to a strong magnet it goes into this error mode. It still funktions but wont let me past the lockscreen. And it looks like a super low pixel mode.
Is this a known error?
Graphics error?

It's the aesthetic virus, enjoy.

It's not an error. It's a mode that works with some phone cases so that you can see basic info through the front cover.
Brandon Morgan
Haha, that makes perfect sense. But how would i turn that off again? Now whenever this happens i have to reset

Jonathan Jackson
It still wont come out of that mode, even afer I remove the magnet.
I guess the problem is better described here:
Jacob Johnson
why the fuck would you put an electronic near a magnet?
Jordan Perry
1. by accident
2. by putting it next to another phone with a flip-case
Cameron Myers
Since i know now that it is a feature not an error i tried around a bit. I can reproduce it if i slide it very specifit by a magnet. Also i am now able to put it out of that mode again with the magnet
Luke Thomas
1. then you deserve that
2. Those magnets can't be that strong
come on, tell us already what really happened.

>You should still be able to forcefully reboot - try holding both POWER and VOL_UP simultaneously under adequate lighting (to trigger the ambient light sensor, so it won't think the button combination was mispressed and prevent the reboot)
when you have to shine a light on your phone to get it to reboot

My HTC One M8 used to have the pixel cover too. Good times.
Dylan White
Same, recognized it immediately. I'm still using it, though the screen is beginning to separate from the case, and I've had to replace the USB port.

OP, did you apply the magnet to the front? It could be that your phone has a Hall-effect sensor in a specific place, and those sorts of covers as show in have a tiny magnet which covers that place when they're closed, to tell the phone to display the mode in your OP picture. Only since you're sliding a free magnet around, it got confused and didn't register that the magnet had left. Just a guess.
