I also noticed that regularly my screen turns black for a split second. This often happens while browsing in Google Chrome but it also happens in other apps. Seems some sort of diplay glitch. Anyone noticed this?

I was just sitting on the couch, and the screen on my phone came on by itself. Not to the lock screen or anything, but the screen looks like its on its dimmest setting (barely on at all) and the search button at the bottom is very dimly lit up. Happened twice in the past 20 minutes...anyone else? I'm going to reboot and see what's up.
Are you using a third party sms app? There's a usually a setting that wakes the phone when a text is received.
I've used Handcent without any problems so far. But to be clear, this 'waking up' of the screen is NOT like when you press the button to turn on your phone. When I noticed the problem the screen was so dim that if you're not in a darkened room you probably wouldn't even notice, it's very faint and the only other thing that was lit up was the 'search' button and it too was very dim. At first I thought it was just the reflection of the tv across my phone screen thats how dim the screen was, but it was definitely on and no buttons being pushed would completely wake it up until I pushed the power button to turn on the screen completely like normal. Weird....but after a reboot I didn't see it do it again. I'm wondering if others might not be having this issue and not even have noticed, thus poor battery life for some people?
This happened to me once before. A rebooted fixed the issue for me too.

Have you used one of the temp roots. I had the same problem when I used one of them and when I restarted the phone it seemed to clear up the issue. I have noticed that powering of the screen while its in 3D mode can cause weird issues too sometimes.
Strange. No this is a stock device I haven't tried the temp root yet. Since the reboot I've been watching it closely and it seems to be fine. I suppose this thread should have been posted in with the one already discussing bugs, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for your kind replies!
Just bought one... have the newest update but my wifi still shuts down once I hit the power button and i am unable to find a fix. Second every now and then, and becoming more frequent, when i touch the screen a black oblong shape will flash black ( almost like a thick lighting bolt shape) about a third of the screen. Has anyone else had this happen? Also The touch screen itself wont respond properly, I have to touch multiple times sometimes to get a response.( not to frequent but enough to be an annoyance ) lastly it will power off a random at least 1-2 times daily. Other than that I like it, just has a few bugs to work out.
The screen flickering and wifi have always been bugs with both Sony Tablets with the later being fixed in release 5, or at 'seast it should've been, if thats what your on.

For the wifi problem you can try installing "Advance Wifi Lock" (google play).. just install the free version, that should fix your problem.. let me know if it work!
What device?
If it is the Sony Tablet S, factory reset to fix most issues but there will be a few issues like screen flickering hidden in the settings while changing notification sounds and a few system server issues where the OS crashes to the boot animation and then System UI crashes, system server crashes in to a bootloop of crashes and stuff.
So system server/system UI is a bug sometimes.

So, I've been having screen problems for a while now. Just thought I had an unique case until I started reading about the S4 problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253881
After reading those problems and watching the many youtube videos, I noticed how similar those issues were to my S3 issues too. I too have a lot of smearing/ghosting when I scroll around on sites and phone settings. Especially white text on black background and black text on white background. I don't even have to scroll that fast to see the effect.
It also happens during games. When I swipe slowly in circular motions, you can see a ghost of objects and text following the original. I know every screen in the world has a bit of morion blur, but it's way too visible on the S3, especially since it's a high end phone.
Anyone else has this issue?

First of all, I'm new to Android phones and this forum I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if not, let me know.
I've purchased a Cubot One, knowing what I can expect and it really works fluently, but it comes with an issue, annoying sometimes.
Left half of the screen flickers (in a very exact way, just left half), depending on what it's showing. For example, desktop 1 shows the wallpaper and icons flickering, but if you go to desktop 2 that effect disappears. It never happens in an open app, except if it's showing a bitmap or icon, and not always. If you're in the block screen it never happens. If you're using, let's say, Whatsapp app the screen is perfect, and in most of apps.
I make a complain to the seller and waiting for their diasnogtic, but I thing it could be a software issue, so I'm writing here. Could anybody make any suggestion?
Thanks
So i noticed an issue. When the screen is locked, sometimes the screen will turn on when touching. This happens randomly, both with and without a case. As far as i'm aware the phone doesn't have a "tap to wake" feature. Also sometimes i notice random presses on the screen, but this happens very rarely. Anyone else noticed this?
