Jittery or flickering screen - hard or software issue? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello, I have a European RAZR Maxx with ICS, not rooted and not anything. A factory reset was done right after the OTA update a few weeks ago. Yesterday, as I was reading some news, the screen started to jitter, flickering horizontally about 5 mm. The phone was still functional, screen was responsive but it was jittery in a very upsetting way. I did a soft reset and it did not help, then I switched it off for an hour and the problem went away. It has not come back since but I am very worried. Should I send it to service? Or was it just some soft issue? I hadn't installed any app immediately before it started to happen. I appreciate anyone's opinion. Thanks!

my xt908 did this today, is yours rooted? I'm trying to figure out why also. iI think it may happen when blue tooth is on

It's not rooted. In the meantime, I think I realized it only does that when I use flipboard. I un installed it and the problem went away.

If you uninstall a program and things work ok, then its not your phone. Relax. =p
Sometimes the atualization of software bring bugs and then we tend to think its our phone. =/

This is most likely due to glitches in hardware acceleration. It is so common that some apps have an option to disable use of hardware acceleration.
Out of curiosity, what is the exact version of your firmware? MIUI, which is based on an early ICS release, displays this behavior quite frequently, whereas it doesn't show up on the final ICS release of stock firmware.

That's good to know, thanks!

GoodLuck!

[Q] Recommend a rom

I haven't been into the Atrix forums in a while, so I would like a rom recommendation.
I have an rooted, subsidy unlocked AT&T Atrix. Its currently running Homebase but I am having issues with it, primarily:
Xorg is using about 50% CPU cycles, causing the unit to run hot and killing my battery. Im not sure why, perhaps a memory leak, but whatever it is, I would still like to try something else.
I WANT webtop (Ubuntu) and maximum functionality. Fingerprint reader needs to work. HDMI w/o dock mod needs to work. I don't care about what the UI looks like as I'll replace it with GO Launcher.
BTW: I'm using a Galaxy S2 right now, prior to that a 4S, but something about the Atrix keeps me coming back to it. I love this phone, there is literally nothing else like it (feature wise) on the market. Not even the Atrix 2.

Wet Dream if you want to set your Atrix apart from the rest thanks to the Webtop Environment!
But you can also try ICS (CM9 KANG) if you haven't already tried it on the SGS2.
I've been using Wet Dream with a highly modified Webtop2SD environment but ever since I installed CM9 just to see ICS I truly think it's well worth it even on it's Alpha status.. (I think it has already upgraded to Beta status!) Woohoo!

I love CM9 so much.
But with Fingerprint+Webtop which are Moto's, u really shoulda go Wetdream, even if i had more issues with WET DREAM than with ICS yet
And i am writing this only to get my 10 posts to thank Jokersax for ICS so much

Odd border around my screen.....

Does anyone else have this issue and if so what do I do about it. I have tried everything and there seems to be that border around my screen. I had even taken apartment my spen to make it more sensitive and it hasn't worked. I am open to any ideas...

Is this on all screens and not just the test screen? What have you recently done to your phone?
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
Yeah its on all screens when I have the spen on that area of the screen the onscreen icon bounces alk over the place like I have tremors in my hands. Since I acquired this unit from eBay I have no idea of its history but I can assure you that I have not done anything to this unit. If I had gotten this unit from a carrier I would have a plane on it and have it exchanged it by now but I don't have that luxury. The only other thing can think of is to replace the entire screen unit but that is not worth the price since I got a really good deal on the entire unit. If I was to go that route I might as well replace the entire unit for the price I paid for it ya know?

Well, I'm thinking you should flash the correct stock rom. Whether you want the latest Jelly Bean or the previous Ice Cream Sandwich is a personal choice, but make it 100% stock to erase any previous work.
If that clears up your issue, good. If not, then you know its the hardware.
Did you try another pen from another phone or tablet?
I am thinking its a hardware problem cause I am running stock and it has persisted from ICS and I bought an spend for a note 10 cause I wanted something bigger, insert joke here, and the issue is still there. Unfortunaly for me, I no longer have the funds to acquire a new display kit so I guess I am gonna have to live with the issue... Thank you for your ideas I do appreciate it

I had the same issue and is persistent amongst roms. It's a miss-aligned reader for the spen. it was very common in a lot of the first run models. I have the same issue even right now with my refurb though on the right side of my screen but and not as bad but my initial Note had the exact same border as yours.
Thank you for the answer and I can only assume that there is no way to correct this issue

Issues with S5

Hi There,
My wife just got her S5 and right from the get go she started noticing issues. She then restarted it and it worked fine for a small length of time. From what I can gather it has a yellow screen and when you try and do anything it kicks it back to a black screen.So essentially you can't do anything with it. I've played around with lot's of phones but never had something quite like this on a brand new phone that just arrived.
Here are a couple pictures that she sent me. If any of you can give any insight it's greatly appreciated. I've been scowering the web as I'm a work right now and I can't turn up anything.

Maybe by entering the recovery and factory resetting it. That's the only thing I will try before I go to Tmobile and complain furiously!

I appreciate the suggestion. I'll give it a try, it can't really hurt anything. I worry it's something in the display/hardware itself of which it's my understanding Tmobile has them backordered at this point.
Thank you,
~Chris
Definitely return/exchange that when you can. I'd even go by just to tell them so they don't pull any "hey why didn't you come in earlier?" stuff on ya. But that's definitely a hardware issue that shouldn't be happening.

No problem. Doesn't matter if it's back ordered or not, new shipments come every week. You payed for a new phone and that's what you should get. For future reference make sure you also get the handset protection if you don't have it.

Unable to make or take calls since 5.0.2 update. What can be done??

My brother is an owner of a Stock Sony Xperia Ultra Z and since installing the 5.0.2 OTA update he can no longer make or recieve calls, and instead hears strange noises, like a needle scratching across a record, with beeps and pops like R2D2 speaking. Alarms and notification noises are similarly weird. Also massive battery drain.
Although it's intermittent, there's no pattern, and it has really scuppered his day as he relies on his phone for business and now can't make or take calls and is understandably annoyed considering this is a standard update.
Has anyone else experienced problems like this?

Didn't experience anything of such sort...
Did you try factory reset?

No, not yet. Was hoping there was something a little less drastic.

I guess that isn't as bad as it sounds. Just backup everything before doing it.
What is drastic for me is the event that you have to use Flash Tool.

Okay, I'll give it a go.
Thanks. I'm just surprised nobody else has this issue.
I haven't. Crashes, yes. But what you have described, no. Running stock.

Not as prevalent anymore, but still intermittent. Can't work it out.
starting to happen again. Going to root and do a custom ROM.
Any recommendations? CyanogenMod 12.1 Togari?
