I remember reading a few days back about people having issues with screen tearing. My screen will display a symptom where it has a jagged line shoot across the center area of the screen real fast and then go away. I was wondering if anyone found a solution to that?

No progress has been made, yet. Some think it will be fixed in a software update. When I notified Google support of the issue, they thought it was a hardware problem, but if several people have the issue, maybe it's software.
I'm hoping it is fixed in a software update. That is literally the only issue I have with the tablet.

Yeah I hope so too, but I already have a replacement on the way. I have some other issues with mine though that I felt warranted getting a replacement.
Does the tearing happen to you all the time or just in certain apps? It only happens on mine when I'm playing music. It will show up for a split second as a quick horizontal line then disappear. The line appears in different areas of the screen each time. I notice it the most when it happens in Chrome, but I've seen it on the homescreen and in other apps as well.
Mine happens frequently throughout the ui. Xda app, chrome, everywhere really. If it is a software issue though there really is no point in exchanging. It seems to happen more frequently in an app with a light background.

I have this problem as well.. I only notice it in tapatalk though.. I'm not sure If its because I use tapatalk all the time or what..

Mine happens in chrome pretty regularly as well. Could it be something with the video drivers for this thing?

So apparently it was a bad kernel that I was using that caused the problems. Flashed a completely stock build and the problems are gone. To the people that chimed in and said they had the issue, are you on a stock ROM or did you change that and the kernel?

I've noticed this, but it's only happened twice (so far), Once was whilst using chrome, the other time just sat on the homescreen. I'm currently using stock.
(Not too worried, just as long as it's not a line of pixels about to give up the ghost as some other people have had).

Happens to me on stock rom. My N7 is not rooted or unlocked.
Pretty sure this only happens when you force GPU acceleration. I had the same issue, turned it off, and never saw it again.
Of course I love GPU acceleration too much to leave it off, but a jagged line every once in a while is not a deal-breaker for me.

Glad it worked for you, but I don't have that option on nor any other's enabled in the development menu. Regardless, the issue persists.
Is there anyone else having this issue?
I received a replacement today, but I couldn't escape defects on that on that one either. I'm trying to figure out if I should hang in there for a fix on the screen tearing/horizontal line issue, or if I should just send both back and call it a day.

I just found this thread. I have the same issue. I'm on stock kernel, unlocked/rooted, and stock rom. I don't have GPU acceleration forced.
Any further ideas? Could be a driver issue.

People here think the screen flickering issue could be resolved in software, but I'm not sure about the issue we are having.
I might go through the unlocking process just to see if the horizontal line stuff happens on other roms/kernels.
I really hope it can be addressed in a software update. I just struck out on my 3rd nexus. All of them have screen defects. All have had other issues like creaking and slight screen lift, but those are a lot less of a problem to me. The original one is ok except for the horizontal line issue. My two replacements each have dead pixels and dust in central areas of the screen.
This is ending up to be a very tiring and disappointing pursuit.
If it's a software problem it's likely to be in the tegra3 proprietary driver blobs. If this is indeed the case, changing rom and/or kernel will make little difference (because they share the same blobs).
It might be possible to work around the issue outside of the blobs but its likely only nvidia can fix the root cause.

Hopefully someone at Google watches some of these threads. I have 2 nexus 7s with this issue. Thanks for trying to save me the time of trying a different ROM/kernel, but I might still try a CM10 build for kicks.
My first tablet had one dead pixel and it had this issue too. My second one is perfect except for this problem. It probably does have to do with the tegra 3. I hope its a software issue because this one is perfect except for that one problem. I'm not rooted nor unlocked and no force GPU rendering either. It only occurs on some apps with mine. Tapatalk, facebook and barely ever on chrome. I haven't seen it on any games or video nor on the home screen. There should be a place to report this to Google... I doubt they are searching through xda looking for every little problem. I've had this issue for a while and have been searching specifically for bit and just found it today. Also I never see it in horizontal mode.

I have this issue too and I think it's likely to be a driver issue as it appearance seems random and sporadic in frequency, but it's always really hard to tell about these things.
In any I'm guessing some people just don't notice this issue and thus haven't really talked about it. But it sure is discomforting seeing it.
I seem to suffer from this too.. Everything is stock on mine, no mods, no flashes no unlocks.. It appears to be worse when its been on for a long time.. Wondering if its heat related?
Hello guys.
I don't know if it is just me but I can't see a big difference between medium and max bright, you obviously can tell it changed a bit but it's not like other devices I've had before, although the difference between min and max is way bigger, just wanted to know if this is a normal standard thing or some kind of issue. Thanks.

Can confirm that. A bit weird that the other half of the slider is like doing nothing. Its like the volume slider on the galaxy nexus.. After the half, the music won't go noticeable louder... Weird... Maybe a 4.2 problem idk..

I have a completely stock, unrooted Nexus 4 that I received 2/4/13. I've been having some strange display hiccups pretty much since I got it, and they seem to occur on any part of the screen. Sometimes it will occur as a square in the upper left section of the screen, other times it will be a mess of static at the bottom. Sometimes text entry will either turn all black, or it will disappear altogether. In some of the screen shots, you will notice that I am using an app called Screen Filter to decrease screen brightness. However, the display glitch occurs when I am not using Screen Filter as well. I was wondering if anyone else was having these problems? I'm considering RMAing my phone for a new one.

In another thread it was mentioned that you should check "disable HW overlay" as a possible solution. I did it earlier today, but will have to see if it helps.

Sorry for the bad title of my thread. I tried to describe as best I could, I still have the same issues although not as often. I disabled hardware rendering and the one underneath in developer options. Better but not fixed yet.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Should "hardware overlays" be disabled and "force gpu rendering" be enabled? Do all these measures indicate that the graphic glitches are hardware problems?

Hi,
I have a similar problem with my N4. Did you solved the issue? I hope it's a SW problem that will be solved with the next version of Android and new drivers from Qualcomm because I cannot RMA it...

I'm not sure what the issue was hardware/software-wise. I just sent the original phone back, as I received the RMA last Monday. It seems to be working well overall. Good luck with your phone.

The lag is not huge, but it is noticeable, especially on first scroll through. noticeably laggier than n4. Any one experience this? I'll try to do a video later.
tmobile version, stock everything, I've uninstalled some of the tmobile apps. Tapatalk set to 50posts.
Since I've had this phone I've experienced no lag either on stock ROM or Trickdroid.

Since day one I got my device. It was shipped with 1.27 firmware and updated to 1.29 eleven days ago.
I'm afraid it's the Tapatalk app that does this . I have a Note 2 and a One. The Note with Tapatalk lags, the One with the XDA version works fine...

I'm wondering if this is a 4.2 vs 4.3 thing.
I also think the one may be throttling harder, which would explain better battery life.
Could be resolution difference. It's harder to push more resolution though.
The only reason I'm worried is the reports off how smooth the phone is. I dont want a lemon phone

It's neither of those things. It's just the app not playing nice with the SoC, just wait for an update and it should be a-ok
So I checked with another one, it's also a bit laggy when using tapatalk and 8tracks.
Both are fa35xx phones.

I played with the s4 in hte store. it was very laggy but it's supposed to get better by turning off all the gimmicky stuff. however, the one still noticeably lags for me.
in terms of least laggy (default mode, all stock)
nexus 4 > htc one >> galaxy s4
You could try enabling force gpu rendering in developer options. That helped me with a few different apps, quite immensely.

Yes, I'm on 4.4 stock. And I get the translucent bars on the home screen but not on the lock screen.
But as far as i can tell this is normal and you can't do anything about it aside from replacing the framework.
So this would be the only thing different software wise ,as I said in the opening post?
