Hi all, wondering if anyone can help. My prime started off with a VERY minor and occasional screen flicker. It steadily got worse and worse till it was horrible. Factory reset didn't even work. Now, infinity is starting a tad bit
Only thing I can think of, is maybe an app. When I got infinity, I immediately rooted, and installed all primes apps on it with Titanium Backup.
Anyone else having problems, or know what I can try? Really don't want it getting HORRIBLE like prime was.
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean smart dimmer or constant flickering?[/QUOTE
Actual screen flicker. Prime got so bad towards the end, it was like if app screens were stacked like pictures, and the top would flicker out and show portions of one underneath. Factory reset didn't even fix. if it's an app, it's causing damage, I think. if I can find out which one, I'll exchange 700 for a new one (BB protection plan) and not reinstall it.

Exchanging it sounds like a good idea then - they should be reponsible for the crap they're producing without much of a quality control.

I didn't have that problem with my first Infinity. Does it happen randomly or is there a pattern like when you open an app? If it's an app problem, look to see what apps you had open at the that may have caused the problem. Like the others have said, it sounds like you got a defective tablet. You should exchange it since you have the protection plan.
