Default Flickering along the left edge of the screen.

I didn't notice a thread about this here yet. The only information we have is that is widespread, goes away on reboot, seems to change when the screen is changed, and the lines do not seem to show up in screenshots.

For those that have been fortunate to not see this yet on a number of tf300's (including at least one review unit) regularly spaced lines appear along the left side and there does not seem to be a consistent cause either in hardware or software.

I've had it, but primarily when docked. Un-dock and it immediately disappears for me....so far.

I had it for about 5 minutes un docked but restarted and it went way. Haven't had it since and it was only on the 17 firmware

Mine goes away on reboot as well. I've had it on .26 firmware. I've never had mine in a dock. It's not very often but I've seen it 3 or 4 times since I got it last week.

Yep that doesn't get the full effect but I did notice the twitching along the entire bottom bar.

DONATE TO ME
I'm on the .26 firmware, and I just got the flickering. It's strange. Is this a cause for concern? Would it be an overreaction to return the tablet? Would it matter if this affects all units?

I have this same issue on my TF300. Thinking it was hardware failure, I returned mine (to Best Buy), and the replacement is also doing the same thing.

Both have also done a few related glitches. Namely, the mouse cursor while docked has become a corrupt square, and the soft keys/notification area will move up and down a couple pixels randomly, which is very disturbing.

As others have noted, this goes away with a reboot. I used the Titanium Backup widget to make a shortcut to do that faster.


I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some kind of app incompatibility. So far, I've noticed that the app "2X Client" (which I use for Remote Desktop) makes it much worse much faster. And, some things don't seem to trigger it at all. My TF300 was playing Pandora with the screen off for 7 hours today and it was fine.
