Several times when I try to reproduce full screen videos I just see a black screen or lines in my screen. For example IMDB app ....currently running kk 4.4.2 CND2.

Any ideas ?

Do you mean like this?

I had this with KitKat but after installing a custom kernel, wipe cache and dalvik it was gone :good:

Getting the same on xKat v3 rom! When I use MPlayerX I get the problem consistently while VLC player gives it sporadically.

Rebooting or disabling UI overlay in developer options fixes it. Samsung has to fix it in their next update make sure to submit the bug to samsungs support so they are more aware of it.

Note 10.1 Kitkat Fullscreen video flickers

Yes, I had same problem, with Samsung note 10.1 kitkat 4.4.2
I think Samsung needs to fix it.


Following is workaround for problem:
Try to check the option to always use the GPU for rendering graphics in the developer options and check the option MSAA and turn off hardware overlays.

This solved problem for me

hi dear
could be due to magnetic field in cover(case) interfere with screen display.
please remove the case and try again.
Thanx

Had this problem start happening out of the blue (as in NOT after rooting or accepting an update, etc.). First noticed it when playing internet videos (Facebook, embedded YouTube, etc.) on fullscreen, but then it started happening with all videos (whether using stock player, MX, etc.) for full movies that I have on my external SD card. Running stock rooted with TWRP recovery.

Wiping cache solved it completely for me. Of course, wiping cache with too new of a version of TWRP recovery caused my cache partition to be unmountable, resulting in boot loops and all kinds of issues, but that's another story entirely! Solved the new problem by switching to Philz recovery, wiped cache again, and everything was fine. I probably would've been fine just downgrading my version of TWRP as well, but I'm using Philz recovery on my Note 2 phone, too, so I'm fine with using it on the tablet as well.
