I have gone from my first amoled screen phone a galaxy s2 to s3, I gave my wife the s2 so I can hold the two sides by side and wave the phones side to side while holding my eyes still and I clearly notice the s2 screen drawing a solid light while the s3 looks like the screen is turning on and off at a very high speed, like if your using an old crt with 60hz.
Anyone else noticed this?
I imagine because generally speaking its not noticeable most of the time unless shake your eyes or shake the phone its a battery saving feature.
If power saving mode is active on your S3: turn it off
Custom rom, not using Samsung firmware. I have looked at my work mates s3 and it has this crt like flicker to, he has stock rom... And he won't let me root and custom rom his phone lol.
Chercked my S3 to see if it did this and it doesn't, no flicker at all but I don't have any motion settings turned on apart from rotate and no battery saving modes, maybe one of them is causing it.
As for what you cna do with your eyes, holding them and shaking them, now that's cool.
sorry for the bump...
But Im having this issue too. Its my 2nd s3 (first one had a yellow tint to it and I couldnt ignore it once I saw it) and my screen also flickers just like an old CRT at 60hz. The one with the yellow tint didnt seem to have this problem but I wasnt sure if it was how the screen was supposed to look when fully functional or if my eyes were going (pushing 30 lol).
Ive tried a factory reset. Ive tried checking Force GPU Rendering in 2D option. Ive tried a custom kernel and ROM. Im not sure what else to try!
I have the same issue with my galaxy note 2. But I don't find any solution to solve that yet

people, has anyone of you noticed white vertical lines that appear for a fraction of a second when you power on the device? it happens right before lock screen appears... best could be seen in a dark... seems like there is a problem with screen initialization on a driver level...
Could someone check this issue?
Using Lightning ROM 1.5
Sounds like your phone is defective.

i prefer to be more optimistic due to the fact that many others reported the same problem on different forum... xda is more reliable, so I'm trying to collect the opinions here as well
Mine has this, noticed it for the first time yesterday (hadn't seen any reports of this at that time).

don't worry, I think this effect is present on every piece of 9100. more or less obvious for users... it might be not vertical lines that people see but the quick white flash

What effect does this have on any other aspect of the phone, or is it literally only that fraction of a second that there is any apparent effect?

if it is really a problem of display controller low-level driver - it might cause some serious problems as time passes... total screen failure, for instance... as i remember from past cell phones - it was the first sign of upcoming screen death...
but i think that in our case - this is just a minor driver issue in screen initialization process... at least i believe so
I have this problem with the screen as well! and it's annoying to see those vertical lines whenever I wake up the screen.
sometime i can see the lines with "CRT Screen Off" mod, but without they dont appear
Try to do a backup in CW recovery and flash a stock rom.
It can be the CRT effect or any other custom rom issue.
It would be great to know if the problem is due to your custom rom or not.
Hey, sorry to bring this up again, but I'm having the same problem, and it's really bothering me. If there's any way of fixing it, please let me know, I just uploaded the stock ICS 4.0.3 for my device, and it started to show.
mine too has this
Mine also has this issue. only visible in the dark
yeah, same here. I thought i was the only one having this
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Noticed this straight away when I got my new phone and it was there before I flashed a custom anything
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
I also have this issue
One large, white vertical line. Clearly visible in all lighting conditions
However sometimes (rarely) it doesn't do it.
I have compared this to a black galaxy s2 (mines white) which doesn't suffer from this issue. It actually seems to delay the screen on / unlock time
The black loads the lockscreen at almost the exact same time as the white displays the lines.
I've been putting off returning it under warranty as I can't do without it..
Its like a jolt of power that hits the screen
***Bezeke HOLO LPQ base running bits stuff from everywhere ***
yeah, i recently got a phone off someone, and it's been bothering me since, there's no way of fixing it? i hope it hasn't caused anyone trouble, i recently switched to iPhone to this phone and i'm absolutely loving it besides the white flash

If you mean the minute, almost "patterned" grey lines then yes. Every Galaxy S2 has theses.
But bright white, clearly visible line/s which delay the screen-on process.. No, not every Galaxy S2 has it.
Especially if they don't always appear
i don't think its an issue with the phone i had it running an old version of omega rom the latest 5.1 does'nt have that problem.
Hey guys,
I have got my I9300 for 2 weeks and I just noticed that the screen is flickering when I am in a bright environment and have the screen brightness turned to 100%.
In fact it is more like a low frequency flickering with 50 Hz.
You do not notice this if the screen is on low brightness or in a dark environment.
Did someone experience the same? Is this because of pen tile? Because of some settings although I do not remember changing anything which could do this.
Btw. I am on stock ROM with the latest update (XXALF6) and Cf root + busybox without CWM.

Hello,
I have similar problem but in my case i can notice flickering (in bright sunlight) only when phone is in power saving mode.
Try to experiment with power saving mode and let my know about result.
Cheers
I have the same problem, 1 week old phone. In bright light there is flickering, but more like 30Hz.
Only visible by my eyes if the screen is white, (maps is good for this) other people seem to notice this easier than me.
Completely gone if power saver is turned off.
My question is, is this "normal" or should I return the phone and get a new one?
/JT
So I called Samsung support and they told me that it is "by design" as power saver mode halved the refresh rate to 30Hz.
Also checked my dad's phone, also sgs3, and I think it is less prominent on his phone, but it also there. Difficult call, but I think I will keep mine.
Can't see any flickering without the power saver mode, and to be honest will probably flash CM9/10 soon anyway.
Hello everyone,
I have a question, sinds today my phone is doing trange thinks.
If I use the phone, don't matter what app or game sometimes my screen flips. I see very fast black screen and then is the creen back. Also the screen flips very quick from normal to landscape and back. This is not the only problem, also my battery gets hot. If I use apps or games the battery gets very hot, and normal this is not happend. This problems are getting up from to day and normal nothing strange happend.
I have reset my phone and have do a factory reset but this will not help. What can be the problem and is it possible if I flash a ROM that the problems are gone or is there a diffrent sollution of problem.
Thanks allot!!
What ROM are you using? Have you tried to flash a different kernel, like Siyah?
I use LPW ROM and its not the kernel because I use months the chainfire kernel without problems and now there are problems sins yesterday.

Hey,
I'm getting the same problem with the screen quickly going black for 1 second and then back to whatever I was doing. It seems to happen on any application. I also have the issue where the screen will randomly rotate into landscape mode, then go black, and back to portrait. It does this with the phone laying flat on a level table or holding it upright in my hand, regardless of auto-rotate being on or off. It even does it on the home screen but it seems to reload the icons after it goes black, almost like it did a RAM reset or something. The black screen flash and rotate problems seem to be related, as they started happening around the same time, but don't always happen together.
The phone is Galaxy S II LTE from rogers running ICS 4.04, stock everything including touchwhiz. I have done a factory reset using the option on the phone which appeared to fix the problem only to come back after a few hours of re downloading my apps and whatnot. Also calibrated the gyro on a level surface...no fix.
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.
Sent from my EVO using XDA Forums Pro.
Brand new V30, just opened yesterday. Everything is running well except for a weird white flicker on the AOD. It's horizontal, from the edge in, about a sixth of the way across the screen. It doesn't flicker when anything else is on the screen but the AOD.
Any ideas?
Here's a video of the issue

I would replace the phone, thats is 100% not normal, i have had my phone for 4 months now and this has never happened to me. Just to rule it out you dont have any screen overlay apps running right,?
edit: also a factory reset wouldn't hurt.
Does this also happen in low brightbess?
Looks similar (just in very very small) like what my display had after i crashed with my bike ?
I forced gpu rendering in developer options and changed the aod display to the normal clock and then back and it seems one of those two things fixed it. will keep an eye on it though.
Came back briefly this morning. will continue to monitor.
I got it on eBay which makes returning/warranty stuff a little more annoying than usual.
