This happens very rarely, but sometimes I will be holding my tablet in landscape mode and it will suddenly flip to portrait and back to landscape again. In 2 weeks of ownership it's happened maybe 6 or 7 times with a fair amount of use. I'm not shaking or moving the tablet, but am wondering if maybe it's a glitch with touchwiz? I performed the levelling calibration last night, but I don't think that is the problem. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I see the same thing once or twice a week on my WiFi GTab. Tab is being held in a steady upright position and it quickly toggles in/out of landscape mode. I had my tab a month or so before installing TouchWiz and can't recall is I saw this before the upgrade.

This has happened to me also. Because it happens so rarely i didn't bother asking about it here, but now that you mentioned it, i have had exactly the same experience. I haven't tried calibration, so if this helps then please let me/us know.
Has anyone found a solution to this? I experience this almost every night when reading with the nook app. Its annoying because when it happens, it puts me on the wrong page of the book.

It seems it's fixed in the latest firmware for european 3G devices. I have't seen this issue since i'm on KI1.
yeah happens to me occasionally too
the same thing here

As stated almost every time a new thread hits this forum, the search function sucks, which is why I don't know, if this has been mentioned before, but:
Has anyone experienced, that once in a while the screen just rotates randomly, without any physical influences? I can even have it placed in the, so-called, multimedia dock, and the tab just rotates to portrait mode for a second or two, and then back again. It's highly irritating, and it hasn't been resolved with a factory reset.
Anyone with similar experience, and/or with a solution?
Same issue here. I use a cover case, it could be what causing this, i will try to remove it and let you know.
I haven't seen that, but I have seen mine rotate for a split second from just the slightest of tilts. Like sitting on my chest, I breathe with one hand holding it causing a slight tilt to that side.doesn't happen often at least.
whithout the case, it's better... Weird :/
Yes, this issue has been reported before and i also have this problem. But it's really rare, maybe 3-4 times a week?
So the latest update did correct most of the banding issues but im still having some glitches when doing some things like half the screen will go away for a second them come right back, it does this very randomly. i also noticed this when playing games like shine runner, it will completely lock up. I included a video of what its doing, its weird in the video it would only do it by using the mouse but when doing it on the home screen if the recent apps filled up all the way to the top of the screen it will do it every time whether I use the mouse or touch. I have only had any of the problems since ICS so i know its probably a bug, anyone else having these issues?

ok i figured it was a bug, its not too big of an issue but i would like to see it fixed soon.
i have this same problem also. it mostly occurs when i'm using youtube. hope they fix it soon because its annoying!
have the same issue it does it for me as well in Google talk, but YouTube is the worse i get a constant flicker for like 2 seconds.
Same for me too, I think I read that Asus stated it was some of the Prime's hardware drivers having incompadability issues with Ice Cream Sandwich (hence no problems with Honeycomb). Anyhow, I believe they stated that they should have an update to fix the issue in February...hopefully early Feb.!

..same here and only seen with Youtube..
Anybody pinged Gary Key or ASUS about it?

Ditto, only rarely and seemingly random but I feel it might be after I've just plugged or unplugged the dock.
Similar issue here though it manifests as very thin bands covering only the left 1 inch of the screen and only when scrolling up and down. This is not a constant problem,but not rare either. Shows up in either orientation. I also occasionally get artifacting usually in the form of a momentary white triangle when I use the task switcher button.
Both of these only started occurring after the most recent update: .11 on 1/17. Before that I had never noticed any screen problems.

I have this bug like you... This bug is on ICS. But my bug is like triangle on screen
Just wanted to be added to the list of users having this problem. The longer i have this tablet, the more issues i run into.
Hope a fix comes in the next few weeks, or Amazon get's it back.
Wanted to bump this thread because it seems like an issue some people are having, but it's not widespread enough that it's gathering the attention that the GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth issues are getting.
Personally I'm getting the diagonal screen flicker on the home screen, especially when pressing the recent apps button. Someone noted in a thread somewhere that this is most common when there are a lot of apps stocked up in there. It also seems to happen a lot more frequently when the dock is plugged in, even without touching the recent apps button - it just happens randomly.
Has anyone tried a factory reset to assuage this? That's probably my next step.
Edit: Come to think of it, I didn't notice any screen flickering until I plugged my tablet into the dock for the first time. Can anyone else with this issue confirm they've been using a dock? I might try something like a factory reset with full battery on both dock and tablet, maybe that'll make a difference...input, please, someone
Still having the same issues after todays update...
Ok, so...apparently, when I touch the recent apps button or when I click down on the mousepad, that's when the flicker occurs. When I just touch the touchpad without clicking, the flicker doesn't happen. What the hell? At least that's got me pretty well convinced that it's a software thing.

Before the update everything was fine. No issue at all. It starts for me after the update. Also made my GPS worse. Wifi is the same (they just change the signal icon to look that my connection is full). So far no reboots or lockups.

I have the screen flicker on
1. Youtube
2. When I am using the dolphin live wallpaper (one that came installed stock)
AS of now youtube is still crashing
Im having the same issue. I just bought my prime yesterday and noticed it while running the SKYRIM live wallpaper. I don't have a dock either so i can confidently say that's not the cause to MY problem (can't say for sure about others) and it happens when pressing recent app list or the settings in the bottom right corner.
Not functional threatening but visually annoying. I love the TFP though I have it next to me at work and im ITCHING to just play with the damn thing. We need more atttention to this.
I just started getting a screen flicker about every 10 seconds with a live wallpaper on. They must have "fixed" the problem with the last update.
Anyone found any solutions for this?
looks like the latest update fixed it, will know for sure after i put it through its paces.
Today something strange started happeneing. When the pen is a short distance from the screen, the flyer starts to pick up the pen's movements.
Yesterday I was using it and this was not happening. I didn't update anything overnight so this has me a bit baffled.
Last week I added a screen protector but the pen has been working without issue since. Well until today. This on the official HC ROM.
Any thoughts?
Battery may be getting weak.
I'd check the batteries.
how long has it been used?
i had taken it off the battery probably 2 hours earlier.
anyway i switched it off for some time (30 or so minutes) and since then it has stopped the behaviour. strange.

Check the scribes batteries....
I had similar issues and replacing the battery did not help.
I ended up opening the entire pen mechanisim, (un screwing the front and back portions) and cleand all the electrodes,
The pe is working well again.
This happened to me. I took out the battery, and then screwed the back on as tight as I could, and it worked properly again.

Does your tablet pickup strong frequency?
My flyer also show strange behavior yesterday on one particular place.
My pen is battery off but most of the time tablet pickup all finger touch as pen touch, take screen shot and cannot navigate with finger touch. Reboot didn't make any changes.
After 20 minute tablet become back normal function. I suspect on place that happen. Probably tablet pickup some frequency and though as pen is nearby and reply every touch as pen touch.
I cannot verify since cannot go back to that place.
I have this problem all the time in class, I think I figured out how to fix it and avoid the problem.
To fix it: Remove the battery and wait about 10 seconds.
To avoid it: I have a nasty habit of playing with the two input buttons. I think that if you press both buttons together at the same time or even possibly some odd combination, it causes the board to crash and thus you get the behavior described.
Hallo,
I had the problem too, but getting out of the battery doesn't help. The other day suddenly it works again (and i set my Flyer off and on without success the day before).
I have no explanation for this behaviour. I know for sure I didn't press both keys.
Greetings
Komm wir essen Opa. (Satzzeichen retten Leben.)
I have a HTC Jetstream and faced similar problem. But faced the problem only after wiping the screen. May be too much static which caused the pen's scribe field to be amplified creating this strange phenomenon. When I swept my hand across the screen and tried or after a while of use-like 15min or so, the problem self resolved.

I've had my XZU for a week now, everything has been working fine so far. Nonetheless I've noticed lately that when I turn it on I will see like a curtain or shade of colors from the top down up to half of the screen (it's like a flash, quickly disappearing), apart from that it will resume from sleep fine and no other issues, nonetheless is weird that this is happening now after a week of usage, I hope is not a symptom that something worse is about to happen. I have attached a Youtube link to a short video I just recorded.
NOTE: I do not think is a software problem because I booted the phone is "safe mode" and the exact same thing happened. It seems like a hardware issue that gets worse over time, because at the beginning happened once out of 4 times I turned it on, now is once every two times. I do not see a very good future with this phone
http://youtu.be/1ZucFrMvg_w
UPDATE 8/15: All my screen issues have been fully resolved with FW .475
So we have our own thread for the curtain now.
Sent from my C6802 using XDA Premium HD app
I think the issue is Power Management related, let me explain. If I turn on the device after being idle for a while (device is COLD) there will be no curtain issue, but if I turn it OFF and then ON right away (device is WARM) it seems the phone is entering a power save state and is not ready to be powered on again and that's when you get the curtain issue. The result seems to be very consistent with my explanation.
What I do not understand is that why this problem started happening after one week of usage, I thought it was application related but after my "safe boot" mode where no new applications are running only stock apps and I got the same result it can be application related. Also I thought that maybe the Stamina Mode had something to do with it, but it does not.
My last theory is that there is a piece of hardware that is getting degraded over time and when the phone is warm it will produce the curtain effect, if that's the case this is really bad, because the whole phone could stop working down the road. but it's just a theory.
Oh man
My experience with similar LCD issues has been around poor connection between the LCD screen and the motherboard. However, I'm by no means an expert on this.
I would definitely be claiming under the warranty for this.
I spoke with the vendor in Singapore and told me this is a known problem by Sony and they are working on a Firmware update. They suggested to keep the phone until the FW will be released in September and then decide if I will exchange it or keep it. The vendor also extended the Return/Exchange window until October so I will have enough time to test the phone after the FW update.
It's good to know that Sony has acknowledge the problem and is working on a solution.
Any chance Sony will do a firmware update to resolve this?
So it might be a firmware issue? I sure hope so

UPDATE 2
I think the problem is Power Management related, because if I leave the phone idle for 5min and then I turn it ON it will happen the issue you are seeing on the attached video. But if you turn it OFF and immediately turn it back ON again it will be fine. I think what is happening is that after 5min the phone will enter into DEEP POWER SAVE. The threshold to enter power save mode is around 15 seconds. I would say is something that should be able to be fixed with a Firmware update, but my only concern is why this problem did not happen during the first week, that behavior makes me think it's a Hardware problem that developed over the first week of usage, meaning a defective device.
NOTE: As you can see at the beginning of the video the phone has been Factory Reset, so there are no third party apps and anything wrong on the configuration.
http://youtu.be/vgnILc3ib8M
Mine did it the first day. I noticed it did it about 3 times that day. And I agree with you it might be the power save mode. Hopefully it gets resolved.

My Z Ultra does exactly the same thing but it does not worry me. Seems to be a software glitch that should be easily fixed.
Mine happens when i am taking calls and i turn the screen on or off. Other times it is random but normally when i have been using the device for a period and then turn the screen on and off quickly after using it.
But yeah, i do not think it is an issue to worry about. If it was serious, surely the screen would be having issues a lot more when it is on and not under these specific situations?

If it's a software problem how is it possible that during the first week the phone worked fine?, even after a factory reset the problem will still be there, that means (to me at least) that a hardware issue develop during use for the first week and now it cannot be recovered

Do a factory reset with full wipe!!!
For make sure you totally wiped that garbage bro
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
I was playing Deep Dungeons of Doom (ftw), then the screen suddenly turned off and locked. So I unlocked it, but as soon as I put in my code the screen shut off and locked again. It wouldn't stop. So I had to force a reboot. When the phone came back on, I unlocked it and sure enough it locked again. I did this again but put in the code slowly (I'm using the swipe lock). Then it unlocked properly. Seems to be working properly so far...
Anyone else experience this?
Me too...
Hi!
My phone has the same behavior (screen goes on and off randomly).
It does look like we are not the only one since people opened a topic on OP forum: https:// forums.oneplus.net/threads/screen-lock-issue-oneplus-x.404960/
Does it still happen on your side?

Never mind... It just happened again. :/
I just realized something. The screen lock issue only seems to happen when the phone goes into landscape, specifically when you turn it to the left (camera on the left side, capacitive keys on the right). I can reproduce the issue by playing a game which forces landscape orientation (sword of xolan, cytus). The issue happens every time, within a minute of playing. However, when I start the game and hold the phone in the opposite position (capacitive keys on the left, camera on the right), it works perfectly well. The screen does not shut off and lock by itself.
I have no idea if it is the same with others.
I guess I had this issue while playing NFS no limits

I know this is an old thread, but I just thought I should add an update. I know what the issue was. It was the magnetic sensor. I have the OP case with the flip cover. When I have the cover folded back behind the device, and the device is put into landscape and then you adjust the volume, it would shut the screen down as though I had closed the cover. If i take the phone out of the case the issue does not occur. I can replicate the issue again and again with the case on and the cover folded back.
So there you have it. If you have the same issue, try taking the cover off.
I just ordered a new spigen case. One without a cover.
Having this issue with my one plus 3t
I don't have a magnetic cover it seems to occur when I plug in head phones earphones are fine but videos on youtube will freeze but once even after resetting it was locking and unlocking so wiped data ?
My phone is samsung J4 and as soon as i unlocked it, it turns off and locks again. This has been going again and again for quite a while and Im confused because i dont usually play games like the other cases mentioned here. Please reply if u know a solution or atleast think of it as a solution.
