Hi all
Does anyone else have their stock browser flicker when they first view a web page? It flickers a few times when you touch the screen to scroll, for example, and after a few flickers, the flicker stops and then all is well.
I bought an unlocked GT from Tesco last year and then flashed it to P1000XXJM6, kernal version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, FROYO.XXJM6.
It usually happens when I'm about to show someone how wonderful my tab is and then I have to explain it does this weird thing from time to time.
Any thoughts? Surely it's not just me?
Thanks
Gareth
I've had this happen on JME/JMF firmwares and it does only happen in the stock one as mentioned,
I use dolphin HD most of the time ..I don't think i get this in the JMI roms of recent days though, i will confirm later tonight (TAB at home with the misses).
For now use Dolphin HD (Full screen mode) whilst showing off ^^
Would be great if you could confirm - as I might need to reflash to avoid the problem.
Hey
I'm using the Virtuous Xoom v. 1.1.2 ROM on my A500, and all of the sudden I can't play videos any more. The gallery just dims down when I press a movie. I've tried rebooting multiple times without any results.
I'd really rather not have to reset the device.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: All I had to do was change the UI language, and then it worked again. Odd.
Thanks.
You might get more luck posting this in the ROM thread instead of a500 general. Since you've modded your tablet, that no longer qualifies as an Acer issue it's now a ROM issue.
Hopefully someone will come along with better advice.

Thanks, I'll try that!
Just a thought.. were you using moboplayer?
I was on a trip and my 3yo was watching videos on my tab when the videos just went black but audio still worked fine. Everying else on the tablet worked fine, but when I tried to play a video, the screen would go off.
Later I discovered, she had turned the brightness all the way down by sliding her finger down the left side of the screen while the video was playing. And this only affected videos, not the whole tablet.
No, I was just using the default video player

Number three isn't related to YouTube specifically, it happens any time you're supposed to receive the prompt to select an app to complete a given action, if you're docked or locked in landscape orientation, and haven't rotated the screen since the last reboot. The workaround is to enable screen rotation, then turn the device to portrait orientation until the screen rotates. (You can do this while the screen is half-dimmed). The prompt will immediately start working properly again, until the next reboot.
One problem not on your list is that the weather widget still randomly adds a half-line of blank space before the location, causing the temperature line to be cut off at the bottom. Also, the new "Last update" line places AM/PM after the date / before the time, rather than after the time where a native English-language speaker would place it.
Additional bug (possibly) - microphone
When chatting on Google Video Chat, and having headphones plugged in, the person on the other end can barely hear me. Take the headphones out and its much better.
Tried using the app called Voice Record which has sound level needle and tested the same situation with the same outcome. Mic is good without headphones plugged in, but once they are, the mic goes to like 2-5% input level.
Tried same on a friends TF with same outcome. Not sure if this is an OS issue or hardware/driver thing

I have the exact same issue (prime 1.7), and I'm pretty sure it wasn't here before on prime 1.6.
I have one issue with 3.2:
When I am trying to open file which could be opened with couple of programs screen become darker, but no table with programs to choose.
The same with all ROM's (Prime, Rewolver, original). When downgrading to 3.1 all works well.
Do anybody experiencing the same issue? Mine is B50

Yes, I have this problem too, maybe I installed a file manager app and the app clash with the build-in file explorer.
When I click the file name of a avi file, the screen becomes darker without pop up a app selecting windows. It seems that the system hangs when a file tries to link with a corresponding app.
Will this happens with the use of the build-in file explorer only?
On my mail, if i hit on a link on a message..screen goes dark also, the post above said rotate screen, now it works when rotated...bug!!! Also, on stock browser doing a entering of info on screen, like a Google search, damn cursor gets removed of edit box. Another bug...I found...decaf coffee taste crappy...hopefully the upgrade the taste...
rotating screen really helps.
Thanks.
This bug doesn't efect any software installed. I have made fresh install with no any software Stock ROM with Nwflash. Bug comes after second reboot. no mater which ROM you are using.
With elder ROM's based on 3.1 no problem.
Anyway rotating screen helps.

Touch screen most of the time, unresponsive (takes alot of tapping for a respond), usually happens at the lower part of the screen,
Is it just me?
Was the 3.2 wifi issue solved with latest update patch, wifi drops out unless you designate static ip?
No problems with touch screen and WiFi for me.
I brought my transformer to Asus service center in my country, to complain about the white spots in the middle of the screen, they have agreed to replace my screen, is that right?
I thought they would replace the whole unit, hopefully the new screen will fix the responds issue

Hey thanks for this tip. The dark screen-pick app thing sucks and was making me insane. I definitely have this same bug on stock 3.2 with root. Other than that, I haven't had any major bugs except maybe standby battery life not being as good as before 3.2.
Starting this thread to see how many people are having freezing problems with mojo even if ur not and please put say if ur rooted or not and what version and firmware ur using thank you
Have freezing firmware 0202 root mmm 3

Me also, was using Firmware 0202 and he was Rooted.
Rooted. Latest firmware. I've only had freezing when playing The Walking Dead. I have not experienced it with anything else yet. I use MOJO for 1080 movies, streaming, playing android games and emulation, surfing etc. without any issues with those.
I got bad freezing yesterday tried different things fans and stuff was getting freezing while streaming on XBMC and downloading from the play store so today I decided to have no fans disconnected the Ethernet cable just used WiFi been streaming all day and have downloaded big games from the play store and it hasn't crashed yet

I heard about this mounts ago, so why have Mad Catz not fixed this BIG problem yet with a Firmware update???
I think because it's a hardware problem, why else would they not fix that problem with a Firmware?
Rooted latest firmware.
My mojo also locks up while playing Walking Dead and pauses/freezes while downloading from play/app store!
Wifi seemed better for a while but eventually got pauses/freezing on wifi as well.
I have had a support ticket open with Mad Catz for a while now and so far they are blaming it on software
and keep asking me to reset/clear data.
I have asked for a replacement unit to prove it is not hardware but have had no response!
I have two Mojo units and have never experienced any type of freezing issue such as you gentleman (or gentlewoman) speak of. Perhaps you received a bad batch?
So I have recently been experiencing more freezing. First only noticed it when I played Walking Dead as stated above. After a couple of episodes of freezing on that game I just uninstalled it and moved on. More recently after using the MOJO for streaming shows from apps I've been getting the freezing and it will make a humming noise when it freezes. I have noticed this both on a wired connection and wireless. I've also experienced the screen going black while playing a video, but you can still hear the audio. This requires exiting to the home screen and going back into the app and starting the video again from where it left off. Ticket submitted today. I like my MOJO, but this is not acceptable.
Have u still had the Ethernet lead in when u where on WiFi pull the lead out completely mine freezes when the lead is in but I don't get any freezing when I keep the lead out and just use WiFi give it a go
I discovered that my MOJO was freezing in Walking Dead due to the "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" app! If I do not hide the softkeys it doesn't seem to freeze. I have tried "full!screen" (I don't like to see the softkeys while playing games) and it hasn't frozen/locked yet. The only problem I still have is the pausing/freezing when downloading from play/app store. It is better on wifi but not perfect. I prefer wired!

I have the lead out and have still had the freezing. Everything works great on my Wi-Fi right up until a freezing episode occurs during streaming.

I also thought it may have been the GMD Auto hide so I uninstalled it and installed "fullscreen". I have had freezing with fullscreen installed as well. It seems to happen randomly during streaming. I'm going to keep testing things out and will probably try The Walking Dead again. I may try a factory reset at some point after I finish playing GTA III if it's still occurring That game has run perfectly though.

Another app that requires root and does modification to the default user interface. Guys, be careful regarding apps that require root access. If the mojo is not on the supported list for any of these types of apps that actually modify the interface, I would say to proceed with caution. Root is a powerful thing.

Agreed my wifi is dead locks webpages if it's on with ethernet in,i guess it's a conflict of the m.o.j.o probably saying wifi ethernet wifi ethernet wifi ethernet forever and can't decide so just [email protected] up in a timeout (hangs).Not tried on wifi only yet though must have a go at that,possibly could be the update messed the wifi up on root or on both none root and rooted devices?
I haven't had any recent freezing issues during streaming. I have gone back to ethernet with wifi turned off and seems to be doing ok. I unplug the unit every couple of days.
I have one really weird issue. It only occurs when streaming video, such as from HBOGO, never when playing games. I will be watching and the video will go black. There is still volume, but no video. Hitting the volume button on my tv remote brings the video back immediately. I only found out the fix by trial and error as the MOJO controller won't bring back the video, only the TV remote. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? HDMI issue? It happens randomly and will happen multiple times during a show. Sometimes within a few minutes of starting a show, other times it takes a bit before it will do it.
no more freezing
Just like to report that I have now been going a few weeks now and have had no freezing what soever since I stopped using Ethernet really glad now I didn't send mine of working like a charm

Your not using a mouse by any chance?Or leaving the mouse cursor on the top black area of the screen,as on my unit if i leave the mouse cursor on the top bar from time to time i get intermitent flickering (black screen/normal screen) or the screen just goes solid black.So i just place the cursor anywhere but when i am using the unit and it does not happen then.

Yeah, I get that too, only on at the top and it's only a few pixels (hoz lines), just blanks out the display.
not sure what's going on there, just figured it's the TV which has overscan issues anyway.

No sorry, I don't have an ouya.
Re the jetson tk1 deveoper board, I don't see why it can't run android, I'm sure someone will have a androind rom for it.
I am having an issue with screen sharing. It has always worked before today. Right now, when i screen share I get a black screen on both of my smart tvs. If i am playing a video I can still hear the sound. Also, if i share to my tv through youtube it works fine. If i share to my tv through the stock gallery app it also displays a picture. If i share to my tv using the stock video app it also displays fine. The issue only occurs when I use the screen sharing app itself to mirror the phone to the tv.
I have tried restarting the phone, pulling the battery, restarting the tvs, pulling the power wire for tvs from wall and restarting tv that way and I also tried restarting my router. I cannot figure this out and was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and maybe has a fix. Thanks in advance.
Also, my phone is completely stock.
Did you install a security update from Verizon recently? I have an Lg v20 and am having a similar problem.
Sorry, hadn't had anyone reply to the thread so figured it was a lost cause. Im on at&t and yes I do remember getting a security update prior to this occuring. Still havent found a solution.
There seems to be a problem with the latest update for the 990DS as well .
Edit: Yes mine have the same issue after the update
Its odd that there hasnt been more people with this same issue. Im inclined to say its an issue with the last security update because theres 3 of us with similar situations. Just wish there was more info anywhere on the web about it. Either the 3 of us are experiencing an isolated issue or nobody uses screen share.
Just got another security update now. Tried the screen share and sure enough it is working once again.
Fingers crossed
I hope I receive a similar update.
I happen to have two v20’s and one will screen share at full screen and one screen shares at 4x3 with black bars in the sides. Is there a way to fix this nd screen share so it uses the full screen?
LG v20
When screen mirroring apps to my Samsung TV everything all good until I stream netflix, hbomax, espn & tnt. I get no picture/video, only audio and subtitles. Any solution?
I don't recall doing an update and this LG v20 is on T-Mobile network.
