Hi
So I received my Prime a week ago and I noticed that the bottom right corner and the top right corner (the clock and application button) would randomly activate without me even touching the screen. At first I thought it was just a problem with ICS (may still be) so i waited a while and it steadily got worse until it hit a point at which it was happening constantly, I tried to wipe the tablet and the issue stopped for a while and then picked up again. I have not used a screen protector so issue will have nothing to do with to much application liquid, and I keep it in a zippered case whenever I am not using it so general water damage also shouldn't be an issue.
I could really use some advice or any tips you can give me I have looked around and there are a few others who are having the same problem but I haven't found one with a solution. I just want to know if its an ICS issue or a hardware issue that i will need to return the tablet for.
Thank you for any help you can give me
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?

here is the issue that it still has with using the front camera, and using the silly faces feature.

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.
My third prime was working great until this new .14 update came out. I'm getting a slightly up and down motion on my home screen that is driving me crazy. restarting fixes the problem, but has anyone else had this problem ? I noticed it started doing that using Youtube.
I am using the latest stock rom from Asus number 9.4.2.15 and from time to time after the device was idle I get horizontal black lines across half of my left screen. I know I am not the only one(after digging around the web) with this problem and wanted to ask if there is a solution and is it a software probleam?

I too am facing the same problem and I am also on 9.4.2.15. It happens only occasionally. I wiped the device and that seems to have reduced the frequency, but still happens.
I have noticed a screen flicker down the left side of the screen in landscape mode , where the back soft key and home key disappears and flashes in and out
has any one else encountered this?

Yes I noticed it aswell, but its the whole bottome bar that jumps..
Let me just have a look there is a few post about the same issue.
just started happening on mine tonight. whole left side in landscape and the bottom started jumping around. rebooted but hasn't happened since
that happen to me when i had it a few dayz when i brought it then i decided to put a custom rom n no more
Same here, also yesterday evening in holland.
Wondering maybe Asus pushed an update orso?
It was gone after a reboot
so it wasnt just mine, I thought it may have been faulty
yet it may be a Software issue, I havent had an upgrade yet since the initial release of 4.0.3
is there another one out?
