I still have the flickering screen problem after .14update. Does anyone have the problem? I am wondering if Asus will fix this problem with future update...The flickering screen is really annoying to me..
Edit: Because of flickering, I no longer use ezpdf reader and switched to "My Library". Then flickering occurred when it was just standing by....

I didn't see this issue until after I upgraded to ICS... I only see it when I use the live wallpaper... lets hope our friend Gary and Asus can figure this out an fix the problem.
Just wait for the custom roms that will come out since the bootloader unlock is out. The Dev's will get all the issues ironed out and make this a great tablet for sure.

have you been able to isolate what applications or events trigger the screen flickering?
it is my belief that the screen flickering issues are caused by bugs in the video drivers. certain applications seem to be causing memory corruption of some sort that leads to this flickering. in my case i am seeing specific applications trigger the issue, and a reboot always fixes it. i am quite sure this is not a hardware problem given those characteristics.
i'm thinking that the best way to address this is to identify some easily reproducible steps, provide this info to Gary and hope this gets passed on to asus/nvidia engineers so that they can identify and fix the bugs.
i rarely seen the issue before the last update, now its constantly, i just did a fresh boot and the very first 10 seconds was the screen flickering.. Pretty annoying i might add. Bcokas here

The only time I see Flickering Screen seems to be using Firefox Browser and I think the App itself causing most if not all the problem.

After the ICS update I get horrible flickering, screen tearing, and artifacting in the youtube app in power save mode. Like to the point where it will lock up, turn off and restart itself. Interestingly enough tho, that does not happen in balanced mode or performance mode. Any idea as too why?

Once you used the customer rom, the warranty on your prime will be forfeited. At that time, flickering or not, you have to pay to fix that. Be careful when you do that.

I read somewhere that the screen refresh rate is dropped to 35Hz when in power saving mode. Perhaps that's why?
I have ICS .11 and only have a Flickering Screen when i open the Youtube app and this almost every time..

after reading the other thread, i have found out that the asus weather widget is kinda associated with the flickering. i also see this flickering using ezpdf reader and youtube app and brower. The brower and the pdf reader ones flashes more quickly than the ones caused by the widgets
Just another data point, I see flickering and strange artifacting all the time whenever I run Wyse Pocket Cloud.
YouTube flickers for me.

Temp solution is to turn on ips+ and put brightness to the lowest to save your eyes from blinding lol...
Could this be a .14 issue?
I have a lot of flickering and apps disappear / reappear as apps open and close.
It gets very annoying.
A restart fixes it for a few minutes but then it starts again.
.13 didn't have this issues.

It's an issue with every single update, depending on who you are
Every update so far has fixed some peoples' issues and introduced those same issues to people who previously did not have them.
msg gary?
I just updated my prime to .15 but the flickering still continues... I am wondering if anyone can PM Gary or tell me how to personal message him. I just become a xda member few days ago..so I am not sure how to do it.
Just updated to .15 and still see flickering and artifacts. This looks like driver issue. I had similiar problem on my laptop caused by drivers. Btw i notice so far its flickering on Firefox, YouTube and that Pinball game from nvidia tegra zone ( on game after i closed youtube, before it was ok)
Using the YouTube app is the best way I can reproduce it on mine:

I have a stock, unrooted Prime, on the current firmware (.21). Occasionally it will display this peculiar screen glitch - it reminds me of video card overheating symptoms I've seen on a few laptop monitors. The main artifacts show on the left hand side of the screen, as well as home screen icons and home bar jumping up and down a few pixels. It shows up in both applications and on the home screen. The issue is not dependent on the dock being connected - I tested with and without it. I have searched this forum as well as other sites, and have not seen anything similar.
Today I managed to take a few videos and have posted one on youtube. The link is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD6CbK6KL4Q
Has anybody encountered this problem before? Or have any suggestions?
Thanks
I've had that happen before on one of my primes, it was fixed by a quick reboot. For me it happened in the youtube app, so I also cleared the app's cache just to be sure, hasn't happened since.
I really don't mean to be a whinny *****.... but dude, there are enough threads about this exact same problem in the forums already. You really should have searched before creating another one.

Like I said in the OP, I did search on this forum as well as others, and have not seen anything similar. There are many reports of a tearing while opening/closing apps from the previously opened list, as well as horizontal banding across the whole screen. Also, the posts I could find were from people on previous firmware versions, who reported their issues disappearing after updating to the latest (.21).
For those two reasons (unique symptoms, and firmware), I considered this a potentially new problem, and created this question thread.
Feel free to link to similar threads you have found though. It could help me and others.

Interesting. (You have multiple primes?)
The first time this happened to mine, I had not used youtube at all. But since then, watching youtube videos has been the most consistent trigger to get the problem to occur.
The most recent time it happened, I noticed that the flickering stopped while I had my finger on the screen. (Conductive problem with video chip??)
I had this happen to me also with the camera application. I powered it off and back on again and it cleared it.
I have had this happen before. Mine looks worst though and the whole screen actually changes color, sometimes inverted color. Luckily it only happens when I connect to my HDtv through HDMI and doesnt appear like that on my TV. Usually clears itself without a reboot when I touch the screen or disconnect the Prime from the TV.

This is the issue I have when the screen is allowed to fall asleep while watching video (YouTube included). Open a YouTube video full screen, pause it, let the screen go black and lock. Now when you turn the screen back on see if the issue happens on the lock screen

Hello friends, sorry I'm a big noob and dont know anything, I have a toshiba folio 100, recently purchased, and I managed to install the ICS 4, the latest version that is a tutorial on this same site, and is working well and is spectacular , but it happens to me that in some applications like GMAIL, Ice Age, the screen is shaking and I have to shut down the application, someone can help me change the screen resolution, so that does not happen again.
Thanks to All
I don't exactly understand the problem. Do the applications crash?
What do you mean when you say "the screen is shaking"? Maybe you're talking about the known bug when coming back from suspend?
Hi my friend,
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, it is exactly what I mean, the screen shacke, but it already happened in all the situation before and after being suspended.
Do you have any idea about what I can do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
With the stock rom, did you had the same problem? I'm running it with foliomod and the thing that you described never happened to me.
It's a known bug of the Alpha 5 release, resuming after suspend brings screen to that bad behaviour. Only workaround is to power-off the tablet instead of letting it suspend or suspending by power button. This is the only major bug of ICS on Folio (apart from the lack of bluetooth), I'm totally satisfied of how ICS is running on it, everything runs smooth, I'll never revert to any other 2.x rom, once you test ICS interface it's really hard to use phone like interfaces on a 10" tablet
I may be wrong, but the screen stops flickering after some seconds.

Yes it's stops. But after sleep,suspend its better to reboot, because it crashes.
I just try to avoid suspend/sleep mode and turn it off/on instead. Hope this issue gets fixed
Browsers
Using CM9 A5 ROM. Some browsers Opera, Dolphin, Stock and Boat crashes when surfing the internet. I noticed that Opera usually not crash but folio gets SOD when writhing something. Boat and Dolphin crashes when loading site or scrolling page content fast. I don't have idea how fix this. It's not happening very often but in half hour it can be even 2 times. Any solutions?
P.S: I use original boot.img with no overlocked CPU.
I am getting this annoying screen flicker. The screen will dim as if it's going to sleep and then brighten again. This happens when typing, opening apps, and other times. I can deal with it but it is getting annoying.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so, any fixes for it?
I was having same problem. I think it might be a app causing it. My PayPal app I think did it to mine.
I have this aswell lol i thought it was just me “ it happens randomly with me on apps like twitch an youtube “ my screen dims then brightens twice in a row quickly “ i thought it was just reading the apps that i had moved to sd card so i put them back on device but it still dose it atleast twice a day “ weird?? must be a software bug as its not normal or called for surely “ its only recently started doing this so im all out of ideas maybe ill factory reset and use my phone for a day without installing anything to see if it still happens

I hate factory resets lmao. Don't have the free time anymore that I used to
Had the same thing, when opening camera the navigation bar would bleed through into the UI, appeared like a slow flicker, removed PayPal after researching and problem gone.

I've disabled Google smart card notices. I noticed mine doing it when the weather alerts from Google would pop up in my notifications list. I tapped the weather message and went to the Google page, then to settings and disabled notifications and the smart cards all together.
I have actually been to the point I was ready to take the brand new phone back to Verizon over this. But I didn't want a "re manufactured" or "second" after paying for this beast.
I'll see if this helps and report back.

That didn't work...
Going to try removing the PayPal app....
I think I've seen this issue here and there, and also where the screen will almost 'invert' colors... Not exactly, but things will look sort of greyscale-ish for a short while. I THINK it's when the device is in sunlight, so could this be an adaptive feature? It seems to be remedied by covering the light sensor
Same issue here....
It seems completely random - but it's always 2 large flickers - as if the screen is almost turning off, and then back on - twice...
Still the best phone ever - i'm sure this will get resolved.
I had this problem too ` i removed the paypal app 2weeks ago and it went away permanently
Have had the same issue on the Verizon and AT&T varient. Had PayPal app on both. I just removed the PayPal app so lets see if that works. Otherwise this phone is pretty nice.
Same here. ..
I've also noticed this issue sporadically, though I haven't been able to tie it to any one task. Seems more like a an OS/application programming issue with the core system. It's kind of annoying; hopefully it'll be pathedone in an update, though i'my not sure if LG is aware of the issue or not...

interesting, this happened to me as well, but it went away after I rebooted several times... still have the Paypal app installed, but if it comes back I'll try removing it.
Having issue on an LG stylo 2. Usually occurs in Messaging app, but 5 minutes ago occured while in dolphin browser. No paypal app on phone, all apps have background data restricted unless on wifi (All Apps), and it only started today. Phone is current for all updates.
I have been hoping for these issues to resolve themselves since I was a Day 1 early adopter of this phone, but it's becoming annoying. Is anyone else having these issues? All apps have had recent updates.

I also pre ordered my phone from samsung, i use those same apps and ive also had youtube freeze up on me. The lock screen sometimes hangs up but not very often at all. Facebook honestly ive had issues with it on every phone ive ever had, youtube ive been using the vanced version so i cant tell honestly say if the little glitches are from that maybe? The lockscreen seems to work fine if i just turn all security off and just swipe to unlock lol. I can go on and on with my little frustrations but my main complaint is the battery not being as long lasting as my s8+.

I've had a few crashes with CoC, but no more than I had with my v20, and if I'm being honest, probably less. I haven't had a single issue with YouTube or Facebook. I rarely see my lockscreen because I have it setup so that if my watch is connected, it's unlocked. I also use the fingerprint sensor to unlock probably 90% of the time.

Hello,
Months ago I noticed a weird issue in the internal browsing system of the SM-G361F
When I browse to a website using the WebGL integrated API (for exemple: https://get.webgl.org/ ) the displayed shape gets glitchy. Nothing really strange first, just some random blink or short frame flashbacks. But after a time (generally above 30 seconds) the shape become more and more glitchy until the kiss of death: the whole phone process freezes, as nothing respond anymore, then the screen gets shady on some parts and bright on the other, until a kind of bar come across the screen and the phone make a complete reboot without any transition.
I already experienced such thing a year ago, but that was due to a bad root flash that triggered the freeze on any root access request.
The other strange thing is that I discovered it when I ran a web code displaying an "holographic" shape: however, the code worked fine the first times, and I did it long ago; so would this be due to a bad firmware flash or a system harm?
If you own like me a SM-G361F device and are not easily scared (this issue normally doesn't harm the device, it will just freeze and reboot) you can test it by opening the link to the WebGL official website.
Sharing experience about this potential issue would be appreciated.
I also had this issue. I experienced severe jitter in videos, and gifs in the web browser. It seemed to occur randomly, and would sometimes stop after a little while.
I didn't experience the device crashes though, but fixed the video by downgrading "android webview"
Sorry for late reply.

Hello mate!
I must tell you that this happens not only on your device but on SM-G360H Varient too.
In the last 2-3 days i figured it also happens due to high CPU usage and the Kernel goes into panic mode.
Try disabling Kernel panic from apps like LSpeed and see if it helps!
Thanks!

If you are on a custom ROM, then remove the AOSP webview for root -> system -> apps -> Webview. And then install Google webview from the playstore and convert to system app(optional).
It may fix the random crashes and freezes. It does freeze but no more crashes
