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?

For the second time since I got my Prime yesterday, my screen has had a slow flickering fit. The soft buttons disappeared but still responded to touches, and the screen would flicker very tiny lines of color and slightly bounce at the edges. Anyone else experience this?

I'm not sure that it's a defect. I figure I'll give it some more time first. Also, it started happening after I installed 2 apps that weren't listed the market, which I sideloaded onto the tablet, so I'm wondering if they may have had something to do with it. I've since uninstalled them and will monitor the situation.

Wipe/factory reset it. If that doens't fix it, send it back for exchange/refund. I wouldn't want them trying to diagnose a wonky problem, get a fresh tablet.
Also, even though the flickering seems like it would be a hardware problem, the fact that the soft buttons disappear and the area turnaround black leads me to believe that it's some type of software problem, not a hardware defects.

I get it on some web pages and a lot on the bottom of the screen watching YouTube. I just started to get it while booting. It did a restart on me this morning. Factory reset sucks without nandroid. Asus, please let us root this....

I suspect that incompatible apps may have something to do with this. I sideloaded two unsupported apps and I got the flicker shortly after that. I uninstalled them yesterday and so far, so good. Also, I was getting a ton of reboots and crashes when I initially automatically loaded all of my phone apps onto the Prime. I did a factory reset and carefully chose my apps, and it's been much more stable since.
All of You just disable the auto brightness and the flickering is gone ;P

Thanks, but I'm talking about something different. It's a little hard to explain, but I wasn't complaining of flickering brightness. Rather, the picture itself would get all scrambled up.

Wow. So this EXACT thing just happened to me. I have no sideloaded apps and auto brightness is disabled. Over the course of several minutes, it went from a few glitchy lines to the entire screen and a complete lockup of the tablet. I held down the power button to reboot, and then came to find this thread...

I have the same problem. I had to reboot, since the tablet completely froze at one point with random lines across the screen.
Ever since I do see flickering of the Asus logo when booting but no more serious problems, such as a crash.
I will go on a two week busines trip outside the country and therefore womt return the TP - just hope it will not get worse.
That said, I am happy learn about a possible fix?

I have always had the glitching during bboot as well...but I've been staring at this thing almost non stop since the 22nd and this is the first time it has occurred. Dunno what's up but it makes me uneasy.

Hopefully it's nothing more than a graphics driver glitch that can be fixed with an update.

I am too, very uneasy with this issue.
Decided to do a last hard reset and if the flicker does not go away, I will return the TP tomorrow morning.
I hope that the hard reset will take care of the problem.
The boot up graphics flicker has been reported by others on another forum as well, they did note that it doesn't occur if you boot up with the Prime plugged in.
i've also noticed this problem, flickering/scrambling on boot during the ASUS bootup screen.. and i've also had quite a few random lockups, force closes and reboots... looks software related to me
firmware update this morning seems to have fixed the boot and browser flicker. Anyone else?

have not seen it after a factory reset, update this morning, and then two or three reboots. It was an addressed item in the release notes.
Software fixes are good!
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.
Hi
I've had my prime for quite a while now.
And since day one, the screen will turn on by itself several times a day.
(when in standby mode)
I have had this behavior on 3 different roms.
Current rom is EOS 2.0
Does anyone have an idea of what can cause this? Most likely an app that wakes the device.. So i have tried disabling facebook etc..
But are there any sensors that might wake it?
Also, if its an app or process - are there any apps or monitoring tools that can find out what exactly happened at the moment it woke ?
It's likely caused by an app. My old phone used to do this and my prime did it a couple times but hasn't since I reformatted it. What app it was I am unsure.
Same thing happens to my prime. I have gotten used to it. Turning the screen off again will do lol.

True enough, but when you are at work all day, and comes home to a discharged prime every day, you will get annoyed
It's all about the battery...
I noticed something odd yesterday.
If you slide the transformer over the docking, back and fourth - the screen will wake and close.
Its as if they are aware of each other. wierdness!
Anyhow, I thought I had found the solution to my problem with it waking up all the time. (I always have it lying on top of the docking, face up)
But no such luck, it still wakes byitself anywhere is lies. With reformatted ROM, no apps!

When you attach the pad to the dock, and close the lid, the pad will turn off the scren, like a netbook.

True enough.
But I mean, just placing your prime on the docking with the screen facing up. Not connecting the hinges.
Slide it horizontaly upwards against the hinges, and back again.
Then it will lit the display, and close it.. Just try it.
Quite often when I'm using the android browser on my prime I get screen tears at the borders of the active browser right below the navigation bar. Does anyone still get this? I didn't know if this was a driver issue or if it was a hardware issue with my prime. I received my prime back in January when all the issues were going on so I figured I'd wait for a few software updates first (especially since the rma process apparently sucks). I'm also starting to get a bright spot on my white screen that I think has been called a MURA.
But back to screen tears. Do you still get them? Do you have a newer model prime and still get them? Just needing to check if I need to rma.
Thanks

Correction... Its not the whole screen tearing but I get this bright multicolored pixel line running between the nav menu and the browser menu. Not a whole screen tear. I also see the line at the bottom of the screen.

Hi all,
I just picked up the SGP311 today and I've noticed if I'm holding it in one hand from the side (landscape) I'll occasionally get lots of phantom screen touch events, almost like its bending under it's own weight and registering random touches. It doesn't seem to happen if I'm holding the tablet in two hands or resting it on my chest or lap, only if im holding it from the side in one hand
Has anyone else experienced this? I'll probably take it back tomorrow as faulty and take a replacement but im just wondering if this is a common problem with this tablet?
Ta!

The model number is SGP311A1/B, after I first turned it on it completed the latest android update from Sony.
I'm pretty sure it's a faulty hardware issue, I can reproduce it quite reliably now. I was only really concerned if it was a common problem that might occur again in a replacement Other than that I love my new toy, I've been using the Asus TF101 for the last two years and it's been getting a little sluggish, the Sony is beautifully smooth in comparison

I came to this forum for an unrelated reason, but ran across this thread and I'd like to add my own experience with the OP's "phantom" inputs.
I tend to use the tablet on landscape with my left hand holding the tablet. My thumb is well within the black border but it seems the screen senses my thumb sometimes. At times I'm unable to scroll or drag properly (ie an opposing input is stopping the action) and if I move my thumb closer to the edge of the tablet, the problem seems to go away. I haven't bothered recreating the problem, it just occurs once in awhile and it hasn't gotten to the point of annoyance. I've only been using the tablet for about a week
I have the SGP311 and running stock 4.1.2
I have this problem in some 4.4 custom roms. And weird thing is that it sometimes registers touches even when tablet is on table and screen is of... So, is my tablet breaking down or is there anything else I can do?
Try to search for flex/flexing in this Forum.
It is a problem with the torsion, because of the flat design.
I had this exact problem after I unpacked my device, and was also worried abut this being a HW issue. I then upgraded to 4.3 (10.4.B.0.577) and haven't seen this issue since. I hope that means it's gone, but I've only been using this device for less than 2 days so it's too early to tell.
