After upgraded to 4.2, there are many occasions where my Nexus 7 suddenly change from portrait to landscape mode, even when it is lying on a FLAT surface.
It still happens after I factory reset it and upgraded to 4.2.
Anyone else have this problem?
Yes, I'm trying to figure out what the culprit is. It gets really annoying when watching videos and it'll rotate to landscape for a second and then back, causing the video to start over.

It is indeed very strange, but looks like not much people is affected. Defect tablet?
Possibly,but it never happened on 4.1. Only since this update.

Happens to me too. Not too many people complain so maybe it is some 3rd party app that is to blame?
An oversensitive sensor? don't lie it perfectly flat.

I bought this tab for the screen and ability to use the built in front facing cam for video chat with my wife and kids while I'm away for 5 months but while testing it out I've noticed the video quality is crap over google talk from my end. My wife's cam looks great. Is there anything I can do to improve the quality. Currently we are testing it over the same wifi connection.

interesting, i had the opposite effect, my camera looked fine but there camera look pix-elated, I assumed that there camera was the one with the problem.
I had an even different issue. Video and audio was about expected given the connection I had. However, the video of me slowly turned to 45 degrees during the chat. I saw it in the lower right of my screen when my dad told me. I restarted the tab but still it persisted. Anyone see this??
Strangely....

The wonderful, trusty 'cloud' must be down...I think it started raining......LOL
Thanks anyway - will try it in a day or two when the cloud is up!
@piperp
This happened to me. There was a slide bar right above the picture of me while using gtak on the tab. If u slide it all the way one direction, right i believe, then it goes back to normal
@shawnwojcik
I thought the slider controlled a zoom level of the camera facing me. At least that's the effect I noticed when I tried it. The tilting picture started when I tried moving the tab to show them something next to me. It really made things worse. I honestly can't remember if I had the lock on the screen auto-turning turned on. I disabled it once this weekend for some reason and may have left it off which caused the problem.
In either case, next time I'll try your suggestion but that's a problem that needs to be fixed because it's really quite awful. Even after a restart of the tab it starts again.

My brief experience suggested the slider both zooms and enables some kind of facial recognition, so when you move, the background instead moves and your face stays central. This can lead to blacked out areas depending on your position in the frame, as well as a tilting background. It's also a bit buggy i found...
I an now on 4.2.2 (stock rooted) and sometimes after taking photos with flash, the phone randomly reboots. I think it used to happen earlier also before updating to 4.2.2, but experienced this 2-3 times yesterday within 3 hours in a party where i was taking quite a few pics. I tried factory resetting the phone but the problem is still there.
Anybody else facing this issue? Any solutions yet?
Bumping it up
Nobody facing this issue? Do I have a defective device?

[Q] Split second Flicker in certain Apps
I noticed my N4's screen does a split second flicker when using POF (dont judge lol) and youtube. In youtube sometimes when i go from landscape mode to regular i can see the screen flicker, kind of like a the backlight goes out slightly and goes back on.
I dont notice the flicker in other apps except maybe the google reader beta.
Anyone else noticed what im talking about ?

It is a known issue and mentioned in LGs service notes with newer batches having a hardware modification to fix it. If affected all you can do is RMA it.

Hey everyone,
I own a Moto XPE and I've been having some issues with YouTube lately, as well as with Hangouts.
It happens when I turn my phone in landscape mode, suddenly the screen goes black, on and off while the video is still playing. I'm really lost here. Anyone with the same problem?
I have the same issue, it's very annoying. I haven't found any real solution yet, usualy killing youtube app helps for a while.
btw I have eu phone with 6.0.1
I guess it's an issue with all X Style/Pure. When I face this, I realize it's time to clear cache and junk files. I do that using SD Maid and then reboot. This workaround fixes the issue until the cache memory gets filled till the next time.

This is quite famous bug
To avoid pls factory reset your phone (make sure you back-up)
Still not working?? 2nd method
If you have any kind of dirt or dust on your scratch guard (on sensor's only) clean that
Remove your silicon protector and check if it works or no?
Mine worked by just factory resting but some users still had the issue's
Both mine and my wife's 6t are behaving weird. When we are watching Netflix, Youtube or any other apps, after a while, some random stop / resume happens, like if there is a bug with the touch screen....
I did some research and some say it's PIP, other because battery optimization...I tried all, even factory reset....
Does someone has the same issue or discovered how to fix this?
Thanks!

Try it with deep optimization off in battery optimization settings in the three dots menu.

Honestly, I thought about this...if nothing else helps I will peel that off and check if the issue disappears.
I had this happen when I was on oos as well, YouTube would just randomly pause all by itself. I also do not use a screen protector so that is not a problem, after switching to a custom aosp rom it no longer happens leading me to believe it's an oos bug while playing video ( only ever happened to me while watching videos never playing music).
If someone is facing the same problem, I think I figured it out. It had to do with an app that had permissions to be an administrator under the security menu.
Once I disable it the issue stopped.
Similar thing happening to me too, except youtube, google maps minimise to PiP randomly. Disabled PiP for both apps and it works fine now, although its annoying that i've lost that functionality.

I have 2 apps that have admin privileges, both of which need them to work. It's definitely a bug in OOS recently as when I bought the phone I didn't have issues with this.
Noticed quite recently that the phone keeps freezing on apps only way is to close the app down clear from recents and try again. Or lock the phone and unlock it. Also having problems now when typing something out the keyboard accepts my typing but the text does not show up on screen. So I could be writing something out and half way through the text stops showing up. Starting to get frustrated with this phone now. Especially with news of another new phone coming out and this 1 does seem to actually have so many faults.
Constant crashes now on certain apps. Mainly Chrome.
I know alot of people find Chrome buggy but on mostly every other phone I have never had crashes like this.
Chrome seems to have issues with 120 refresh rate from what I've read. Happens on mine and I've read about it happening in the s20. It's the only thing they slows down at all on my phone

I also see this in Chrome & Chrome Beta!

This happens to me all the time with Chrome. Incredibly annoying. In fact, it happened as I was typing this!!
I've had these issues but they disappeared after I took the Android 11 DP for a test drive. After I rolled back I haven't seen any of these glitches at all.
I get this sometimes and as silly as it sounds I'm actually touching the phones screen further up on the display.
Cleaning the phones screen helps as well.
Think QHD can cause this too.
Haven't had this issue persistently as you've mentioned though.

I never had a single slow down with chrome on my OP7 pro. All I know is I've read in many places 120hz send to be the problem with chrome. One way or the other, it's a chrome problem, not a phone problem

It's Chrome. I thought my 8 Pro was broken (I dropped it, then was having problems like you describe). Went back to my Nova5T, and Chrome hangs up in exactly the same way. Nothing to do with the OnePlus at all.
