ICS Screen flickering bug.

---

Hi,

After ICS update I noticed a very annoing and frequent bug.
It was described by other users in these subforums, and factory reset can not help it.
It is difficult to describe, as it lasts for maybe one tenth of a second and I can't find a proper word for this as I'm not a native English speaker.
But I recorded a video, so you can see this.



It's like a single flickerring in a shape of triangle in left bottom part of the active window or entire screen - a short white blink.
In the video I show it happening when pressing Menu for Recent Tasks, but it happens in other occasions too.
When playing video there are also some 1/10 second distortions - difficult to describe, but I suspect they have something in common with this bug...

Let's hope Sony will see this and fix this bug.
I really wonder how such a bug could have left after the development stage. I, as a regular user, have noticed this after a couple of hours of playing with the tablet. What about Sony testers?

It's annoying!! its happening to me also, mines are black, and they happen in the left side of the tablet screen. :/

Not seeing flickering on mine yet.

Im just here because i am looking for a system dump to port things but it is a common issue on the Asus Transformer on ICS as well It is not a device specific bug but rather one in google's code. One fix is to only have <5 apps running at a time

Mine does not show this flickering .


Also....this is a development section of the forum . Your question should have been posted in the Tablet S General section

This is happening to a lot of us. It has already been discussed in the General section under the ICS First Impressions topic.

Yes I have the flickering, and it happens a lot using recent apps on the homescreen.

This is very useful info. Thank you!!!!

I had it a little yesterday but it's gone today

Got it too but its not that annoying,
It does not happen all the time its just an google thing,
It will not damage anything but if you think its to annoying then you could try
to use a CPU speed up "Dont apply EXTREME" that will higher the chance to
crash your device, i think the tegra chip is getting to much info to read,
so its a sort of buffer overrun maby speed up app will lower the flickering
