My screen flickers when switch tabs, start menu flickers. taking pictures or videos is fine. spb screen shot shows the screen is fine too. i have taking some videos of what i am taking about. I was wondering if replace the flex cable would fix the issue.
When i bought the phone the keyboard did not work at all. If i replace the flex cable would that fix both problems the screen and the keyboard or am i s.o.l.
and have to get another phone.
you can post a reply or pm.
I do have videos of the problem but i cant link, they are on my photobucket, If you could help I can be reached on AIM (zuruikyubi) or Yahoo(zurui_kyubi).

I have noticed that the screen flicker or moves when there is animation running on the screen like on the rom i am running now, when the weather updates with the sunny or the rain, the screen will flicker. it also does it when the wheel in the middle of the screen when like closing the data connection. Hopefully this helps?

Then, I guess you may have a loose connector somewhere in there. If you can take it for repairs, I think that will be your best bet.

Ok Looking for some help to see if anybody know how to reset the horizontal calibration on this phone.
I flashed a new ROM yesterday and when I went to set the calibration after I pressed the horizontal calibration and green circle centers it will shoot off to one side once it's finished which and forces everything to be in landscape mode. The only way I can get the phone to not stay in a constant landscape mode is to off the auto rotate function.
It wasn't the ROM because after several downloads and flashes (thinking something may have not downloaded or installed right) it kept doing it. Trying other ROMS gave the same results. ODIN back to stock gave the same results.
Has anyone ever had to reset this or have any other suggestions on how to go about correcting this problem?
Thanks in advance
Just lay the phone down on its back and push calabrate horizontal in the gereral settings

LOL thanks but that is the problem, when I push calibrate the green circle brings the ball to the center and when it finishes the ball shoots to the right side and stays there. not sure if its a hardware or software problem but it happens no matter what I try do do. I even odined back to pure stock hoping it would reset it but no luck so far.
Just to clarify, when it's done calibrating and still lying on a flat surface, the green ball moves?

Yes, the green ring brings the ball to the center and when it's done calibrating that you get the little pop up "calibrated" the ball will shoot to the right side of the screen. Iv'e look all over the internet for a solution and downloaded some apps that monitor sensors, looks like the horizontal axis seems to almost stuck in that position. I was hoping a reset of some kind may do the trick but there seems to be no way of resetting the accelerometer on these phones. Vertical axis is working just fine according to the sensor apps I have tried..
Sounds like a hardware problem. Has the phone been dropped or jarred in some way?
Actually I dropped it a distance of about 6 inches while sitting on my desk at work. The phone landed on my desk, it slipped out of my hands while I was rebooting it. It's got that thick T-Mobile rubber cover around it so it's well protected but who knows guess stranger things have happened.
It sounds like your going to have to send it back to Samsung to get it repaired.

You are absolutely right about that, good thing for insurance and being a T-Mobile customer for 5 years. They are sending a replacement phone 100% free of charge even though I've had this phone since day one of rollout.
I've had my TFP for about three days and I'm getting heavy screen tearing. It shuts down the entire left third of my screen. Every thing goes blank and then I get flickering.
What's the solution to this?
try a reboot or soft reset
Hello,
I've had very similar issue with my screen. Every now and again when I wake my TFP it looks as though it's running in 16-bit color mode. Once unlocked the screen returns to normal.
I've also experienced the screen taring as described above. As with the other issue things usually place them selves after a few seconds. Once I had to reboot to return the screen to normal.
Scary as hell the first time it happened, though I had fried my prime....
Sadly I have not had the chance to look into why this happens or find a fix for it but as it doesn't keep the tablet from working correct it not very high on my priority list.

This.
Here is a helpful video for this procedure
Where did you buy your prime from? Reason I ask if this doesn't fix the problem you may consider the option of going back and exchanging for another
unit.
I did the cold boot and have done a complete factory re-set twice. Neither fixed the problem! Terribly disappointing! I really do like this device but the screen tearing makes it almost unusable!
Would a new software update potentially fix this? I got mine from Best Buy and have a week left to return it. There are none in the stores locally.

Just an idea, does it also show on a screenshot? Maybe if it does it can be fixed with a update, otherwise it is best to return it because then it most likely is hardware I guess.
Here's a screen shot of my problem. It doesn't happen if I just try a screen shoot still picutre.

i've seen this stuff happening with my prime also, but after reboot it was solved..
if it's not disappearing after a reboot i would say the gpu\soc is having troubles (hardware issue)
First of all, that isn't a screen shot. That is video of the screen. A screen shot is taken by the device and saved to an image file so it can be uploaded. You may have something wrong with your screen, which a SCREEN shot would rule out or in.

Just to clarify, I know what a screen shot is and I have tried to capture a still picture of my screen tearing but it doesn't take. I've tried it on everyone of my 5 screens but it only happens as show in my video.

I've seen that problem on several primes. Usually viewing Youtube video's causes this. I've also seen the taskbar "micro jumping" while this is occuring.

Do you have a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable(Or whatever it is the Prime uses)?
They are about $6-$10 shipped online, but if you have one of these already plug it into a TV or something. If the artifacting still happens, it's the GPU. If it doesn't though, it's probably a faulty cable or circuitry.
Turn off the ASUS 'quick settings'. Also unmount the SD card.
I Believe I've Got It Fixed!
Last night I did a complete wipe of my TFP. I turned it off and then held the volume button down while pressing the power button. I got the tiny text and the two icons. I read the instruction on how to do a wipe, it's very specific and you have to confirm you want to do this. It then wiped all my data and did a cold boot.
When my home screen came back, there was no screen tearing or flickering. I changed
the background and added some widgets to the home screen and brought up the quick menu, but still no screen tearing or flickering
I had to input my Google account and everything else. For some reason, my Google Play Store account doesn't automatically download every one of my apps. So I have been selectively downloading and installing each app and widget. So far, so good. No screen problems.
I took snapshots of my previous screens so I can re-build them from scratch but this time I'll only put one icon or widget on each screen at a time and test for tearing or flickering.
Crossing my fingers that I got this fixed.

Just to be clear, do you mean that your phone doesn't register your fingers touching the screen on the left side of the phone sometimes?
I would suggest downloading the free app "Touch Test" which shows a grid that not only shows where you are touching, but the path of your slides across the screen. If the phone begins to act up again, you can open the act and see if and where the screen is cutting out in the grid. Aside from that, it might simply be that you need a replacement and its coincidental that it was acting up along side you running a 4.0 rom.

That is the oddest thing I have ever heard lol
It really might be a hardware issue man...I can't think of how it could be the rom. I mean, sure you might occasionally
have an unresponsive touchscreen....but only half the screen working?? That's just weird Oo I'll keep looking around for answers though man
but thus far I've found very little.
Good luck

I have a video but i'm new member i can't send link to my post. I will sent to your inbox. tk
Okay, so that anyone else that happens to come to this thread is on board, here is the video that shows his problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDolJhmDog&feature=youtu.be
As you can see in the app, if the origin of the trail is on the right side of his screen, the swipe is recognized across over to the left without problem...if however the origin is on the left side of the screen, no touch is recognized until he reached the middle of the screen, at which point it becomes recognized.
I am still looking around for a similar problem, but thus far have few ideas. Typically, the screen either is totally unresponsive or momentarily unresponsive...never half and half, and especially with such weird rules. By this, I mean that obviously the left side of the device is capable of recognizing touches, since if he begins at the right side, it does just fine....the only problem is if he originally touches the left side, then it doesn't recognize it.
My guess: it could be a kernel issue.
I would try the following:
Pull battery and reboot. Take out any external SD card.
Back up what important apps or data you have and try a factory reset.
You can also try some the options below:
1. Reflashing the kernel.
2. Try a different kernel if available.
3. Factory reset and full wipe and flash a different ics or cm9 rom to see it the problem persist. You can try to isolate the issue to hardware or firmware.
4. Full reset and flash back to complete stock to see if the problem persists. If you are fully reseted and back on stock eclair or froyo and the problem persists, you may have to open up the device to check all the connections.
sometimes a bad battery may also creates some problems
Now i'm using xerxes custom 2.3.6 gingerbread. It's ok but i don't know why when i use ics. I can use half left screen

Yesterday I got my LG G watch and everything was great, then this morning I tried to apply a screen protector, and since then my screen has been randomly turning on and stuff, it launched Google voice search by itself or swiped trough the cards by itself. I already did a factory reset, but the problem still persist. Does anyone else face this problem and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: After turning developer options on and using the show touches option I can see my screen is pressed without I am pressing it (the entire time it's the corner at the bottom right of the screen). Is this an over sensitive screen? Or maybe it happened because I tried to apply a screen protector?

Mine also was dry install, I used a screen protector tool to get the bubbles out, maybe I pushed too hard? (which is not likely, because I have applied dozens of screen protectors and never had any issues)

Unsure. I would just take off the protector.I hope it didn't cost too much. Maybe try another?
Stupid question, did you take off the factory cover prior to installing the new one? Sorry, I have to ask lol.

Haha, didn't cost too much, however, de problem persist even when screen protector is removed..
Yes I did take it off
Oke, first I thought it was due to an oversensitive touchscreen, however, now I am experiencing the problem when in direct sunlight, when getting back inside the problem keeps appearing for an hour or something and then disappears.. Is this common for some touchscreen?

Mine turns on randomly all the time, it's super annoying, but I think there might be a way to disable it.
I think it's supposed to be a feature: you move your arm around, and the screen turns on so you can read it. Neat idea, but it's waaaay too sensitive, and my screen turns on alllll the time for no reason.
However, your watch is even scrolling through pages and activating google now? Yikes. And it still scrolls/activates google now after you removed the screen protector, not just turning screen on? Unfortunately, I would probably try to exchange it But you'll be glad you did.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunate you experience the same with your watch, however, mine is not too sensitive, but the heat of the sun or bright daylight causes the touchscreen to activate and register a touch, I already informed LG of my problem, and they said they took the problem to the technical staff and will inform me in a couple of days what to do
So I bought a battery for my Mido and followed videos on youtube on replacing it. It all seemed to go well until I started to use my phone. The middle part of my screen doesn't register touches. I was able to install a touch screen test app and you can see that nothing is registering in the middle. Any Ideas? I've attached the screen shot.

Maybe it's software problem.If you have twrp installed check if the problem appear there too.If not then maybe it's indeed a software glitch.Then maybe you can try a factory reset or clean installation of the rom.
If that doesn't work maybe you can try reconnect the cables you had to disconnect during the battery change process and putting back the previous battery.Not an expert just some logical thoughts.

I'll test twrp in the morning. Doubt it'll be that. The only connectors I detached were the finger print sensor and battery. I hate prying my phone open. Was such a pain the first time. I'll have to open it up to see if maybe I knocked some other connection loose at all.
I am facing this exact same problem. Pretty much a vertical strip of screen on the right hand side of the screen is unresponsive for me. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8Uqn2lp_d.jpg
I took the phone to the service center, while I had warranty. They pretty much said to my face that this kind of problem can pop up when you've dropped the screen too much and that I need to get the screen replaced to fix it.
