Just checking if anyone else has the same issue since installing ICS. I know that the B & N Nook app has never been the most stable app and has always been a little glitchy, but now when I open up one of my e-magazines, if I try to zoom into an article or a picture the whole screen goes black. It doesn't happen all the time but it is quite frequent. I have tried a few different mags and have encountered the same problem. Not sure if there is something in the settings I can alter to alleviate this glitch? Never had this particular problem before the update! Any suggestions?
P.S. I have a non rooted US WiFi stock ICS version.

Hello, I bought an Avent Vega Tablet and I've been using it for a couple of weeks, but now I've noticed artifacts on the screen while using it. They are like black flickering lines. Does anyone know if this is a hardware or software problem. It does it most of the time when surfing or gaming. I'm using the Dolphin Browser and playing games such as Fritz chess and there's black flickering lines all over the screen. Most of the time they temporarily disappear if I press the home screen and go back into the app, but they eventually come back again. Maybe it's just a gpu driver problem. Any ideas what the cause might be? Overheating?
Thanks!

Welcome to xda dev, i notice this is your first post
It is a gpu driver issue. Has been always been there. What rom are you running, v1.09 is better than v1.08.
Thanks!
Hi ganjaman, I'm also running Rom 1.09. So are there any new drivers available that fixes the problem?
Not that i am aware of at the moment.
Ok thanks. I'll probably try reflashing it. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
Flash it as many times as you like, it will not fix the artifacts.
PEACE!!
Anyone else had any graphic glitching?
i was using inparisv4 i have been getting the odd little graphical glitch,
At first its just a small; a flash here and there, but recently the entire screen has be glitching for about 30 seconds at a time (Full on like a no signal telly)
Searched in the forum, and a few people had the prob when flashing the touchwiz interface. they solved it by flashing to samsung ota and then back again.
I tried that i thought it was fixed but a noticed small glitches just once.
Anybody know whats causing it?
I am really freaked
Screen Glitching
I had a new "re-furbed" tab that within the first 30min of use exhibited this. Then the screen went dark and it never booted again. I believe that this is hardware related, and from what I could tell from my research, it happens on stock as well as rooted tabs. I sent mine back to get another "new" one, and hope that I do not have this problem again as the tab is exactly what I was looking for.
Hello
I have been having some problems with the main camera on the A500. It has different tints to it. Sometimes the picture seems to be divided in 4 and all 4 squares have a different hue to them. Restoring to factory settings seem to take care of it for a while. Initially I thought it was "skype" that messed it up, but it is not.
I just restarted the tablet and the camera is giving me a yellow tint, with a clear horizontal stripe about 3/4 inch wide through the middle.
The tab has stock 3.2 on it.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems and if there was a solution to the problem.
Thank you
Well, I would think the problem seems to be some app/apps you have installed. Based on when you do a factory reset, it goes away.
I would just do another factory reset. Then verify it went away. Run it for a couple of days WITHOUT installing any apps. This will probably rule out a hardware issue.
Then install apps, 1 at a time. Use the camera, and look for issues.
Thanx. I will give that a try.
I traced it back to Swift Key X keyboard for tablets. How is that even possible?
Also yahoo messenger is another one that ruins the camera. As soon as I install any of those apps and reboot, the camera is back to normal.
Does anyone out there use either of those apps?

So, everything is ok?
Rule #1,
Stay away from apps meant for phones.
Yes, they "may" have tested it it on "1" tablet, then gave it a clean bill of health. Maybe.

I thought it would be ok. But after restarting a few times, the camera colors are off. I'm going to root and install a custom 3.2 to make sure it is not the hardware.
Spasiba for all your help )
any news about this problems.
it seems that my iconia has the same problem- i never noticed it because i dont use the rear camera.
i sold it it today and the guy who bought has described something like what you folks are talking about
the strange thing is that i had done a clean boot before i sold it, and the buyer hasnt installed anything on it yet.
im waiting to hear back from him after he tries another clean boot.
anyone else have any ideas ?
I'm having the same problem. I don't use it much, but the camera was ok before. When I tried using it this weekend, it showed colored translucent squares on the sides. It is not a config problem, as there are no effects turned on. The front camera works 100%. I will post a sample when I get home.
If I change the "whites" config to Incandescent, it kind of solves the problem. Sometimes, the squares appear, but not for most the time.
I believe this is not a harware issue, unless that whites configuration is made with hardware (highly doubt it). I don't have Swift key, or Yahoo messenger, or any other apps that use the camera (other than Skype, but it was already installed when the camera worked).
Did anybody find a fix to this? It seems it is only a problem on stock 3.2.
Edit: not an exclusive 3.2 stock issue, it appears that custom roms have this problem as well.
I have the same issue after ICS ota upgrade...
Any ideas?
I haven't had the issue since the ICS upgrade. Only tested once or twice, but it is working properly.
What I did to partially fix it was changing the White Balance to "Incandescent".
Hi,
I am using American Android 2.3.7 and so far m quite happy with it.
The only issue i am facing with it is that it screen automatically keeps on turning ON and OFF every now and then while there are no notifications for miss call/sms/call or other thing.
Initially i thought it could be because of 2g/3g triggering. So i kept phone to use only 2G networks and still the issue is there.
It is not a permanent issue. It happens just like that at any point of time and screen flickers ON/OFF/ON/OFF.
Please suggest what can be wrong in this and what should i check ??
mine is on tytungs ICS & it does that, I think even with lower versions, could be a bug
Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck
