Hello every one. This bug has been present since my phone did its first boot. Apparently, when my keyboard retracts or disappears after I'm done typing, it leaves a big white block behind it for a few seconds. You can try using the Facebook app. Search up a name, but don't click on any one. Then hit the back/down key. (Software buttons). If you guys don't have any problems, what are your suggestions? I tried asking this on the "help" thread, but no one would answer me. Thanks!
Bump! Am I the only one with this!!?
It looks like this....
I have honestly never seen this

Yea I get that, lasts for maybe half a second for me. How long is yours? I don't think I'd be able to take a screenshot of mine its too fast.

Mine lasts for 3 seconds at the most took me a while to finally take a picture of that white block lol.I just got lucky perhaps. Its odd this happens though.
Try updating to 4.2.2 if u haven't already? Or try a keyboard from the market and see if its still present on that?

Yup! already had the OTA update. Its still present. I also tried swiftkey 3. It didint fix it. I may have to end the keyboard process to reset it, but apperently I cant because its in use in the backround .
DO you think I just have to live with it then ?

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

I've got the same rom, but I don't see the problem you described.... try to reinstall the rom.
ps: you should post this under the thread of your rom, without creating a new one
You may have a defective device.

mine is like 2seconds after the bootanimations and stops at samsung logo..fast enough for me
I have the same problem with my note. I just got mine yesterday. No clue as to what's causing it. I updated my firmware to the latest but left the old kernel so i could keep root access. Had the same problem with both the new and the old firmware.

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...
Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...
I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?
Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag
I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

This was there even on the s2..
yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.
Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.
I've not seen it mentioned, but I want to know if others have noticed.
So far all 3 of my CK60 devices have this. Originally I thought it might have been the app Thumb Keyboard. But my other two without the app display the same.
At about 1 inch from the right side edge of the display portion of the screen, a vertical black line will flash. I've only really noticed it while browsing. Not entirely sure it's not just an issue in Chrome, as I also have the stock ICS browser installed, but only use that to view flash videos.
Each has been unlocked and rooted, it's so random and happens so rarely that I couldn't remember to diagnose it pre-root/unlock..
Anyone else notice this?
Would like to know if something common, before erasing my unit to test clean stock.
I will get the random black line flash on some apps. Such as XDA, and chrome. Doesn't ever happen on a homescreen, or in game or anything.
Don't bother with wiping, it won't do you any good.
Same here. Think it's a software problem.

Yea I have the same problem also this is the second replacement.... screen flicker on the first now on this I get the screen flicker and lines on CK60 device
I flashed Motleys kernel for the performance but it also got rid of the flashing black line. I didn't really think about until yesterday when I realized I haven't seen it happen in a couple days now ever since I flashed it.

Flashing black lines?!?!?
Yep, same thing here. It isn't a huge deal, as it's just a split second flash. My only concern is that it may get worse as time progresses. I REALLY hope Google is working on some patches to address some of these Software issues.
Other than that, I am very satisfied with my Nexus 7, it's an excellent buy!
Google, please, you guys need to really tighten up your SQA department!

Make sure to read the instructions before doing this. It does take care of the black line for me I haven't seen it in over a week now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775798
Also over clocking isn't needed to get rid of the line flash. It is a nice feature to have. And for the GPU I would suggest the 484... Also be sure to give motley a "thanks" for his work.

I am seeing the same thing on my C70. I also sent in a support request to ASUS and directed them here. Will post back if/when they reply with something useful.
Noticed a horizontal black line flash across the bottom while in portrait mode. Happened while on xda a few days ago. Haven't seen it since

I have three users configured and at times the tablet seems to lock up. But I can still pull down the notification drawer and setting drawer. I can touch the back, home, or multitask softkeys, or slide up for Google now.
But no matter where I navigate to, the N7 does not register touches in the "screen" area.
I have found that pulling down the setting drawer and tapping the user to "logout" and then logging back in immediately fixes the issue. Also toggling sleep/wake button and logging back in also fixes it.
Is this a known issue? Is this multiuser, software or hardware specific? Any solutions?
(I read back through a couple weeks of posts but didn't see this issue)
--- UPDATE------
Just happened again. But I left it alone for a minute, picked it back up and it was working fine. Perhaps this is app lag. The notification and navi bar work because they're systems but the screen stops taking input while it lags....(just a thought, I don't know how that stuff might work)
BTW I have a 32 GB N7, it is not rooted, and is fully up to date running 4.2.1

Damn. Well maybe get a log cat next time it happens. Maybe there will be something there to show why it stopped working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'll have to learn how to get a logcat. But I was able to recreate the issue and get a video. I could only get it to affect settings and the play store but I've had this in the launcher before too. I don't think you can hear but tapping the screen was causing the touch sound.

No one has had this issue? I've only experienced it in Settings and PlayStore on me first and second user, nothing on my third user. Also noticed a litte lag on the homescreen too.
In the video you may be able to hear the touch feedback sound. The screen is recognizing taps but not doing anything. Sleep/Wake fixes the issue until you leave the app...
Guess I'll need to exchange my N7 and hope to get one without this issue.
Why did this get moved to Q&A??
Are Issues not discussed in General?
[SOLVED]
I was using APP LOCK on User #3 and that caused what seems like an overlay that prevented touch on users 1&2.
I sent this issue to the apps support. And will try to find a free app locker that is milti-user friendly.

Hi. I have had this Nexus 4 for about a month and it has does some strange things with the graphics on the bottom bar of buttons. Please see the screenshots attached. It can happen every few minutes and as soon as I touch the screen it will revert to normal again.
Is this something that is likely to get fixed with an update or a hardware issue?
I can't find anything on the internet referring to the same problem but the sales guy in the local carphone warehouse has a nexus 4 as well and said his does the same :-/
Anybody know what is causing it.
Completely stock BTW oh and as you can see. Pressing the hardware buttons for a screenshot does not fix it. Only touching the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Wow.. thats not normal! I would look into RMA'ing that sucker!
You could try using a toolkit to reflash stock to see if that helps, however you will have to unlock the bootloader, flash stock rom and then relock bootloader, then you just go into settings and do a full reset to hide the developer options then you will be stock. The toolkit I use is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469 and its awesome just follow the on screen prompts.
I'm quite sure that this is a software issue, since hardware issues can't be captured by screenshots obviously. I'd recommend flashing it with whatever you like and do a factory reset. You can restore all apps afterwards ofc (use Titanium Backup for example).
Best regards!

That only means that it isn't an issue with the physical screen. It could still be an issue with the GPU or other hardware, since various hardware is used to create that software image in the first place.
I have seen exactly this sort of picture posted in at least one thread before on here before, though that might be hard to find on a search.
I would also recommend reinstalling the ROM and if it still happens then it must be hardware. I strongly suspect that it is the hardware.

Thanks for all the replies
I have now disabled HW overlays and it does seem to have fixed the issue (or at least made it far better, I have not noticed it since but it has only been an hour)
I will keep in eye on it for a bit and if it lasts cone back and change the title of the thread to solved.
Thanks for all the help guys.

hmmm, and the gpu just decides to screw up down there in a perfectly aligned rectangular shape that happens to resemble the navigationbar? i think thats unlikely.
gimpor, can you play gpu accelerated games? try please.
its probably googles weird 4 layer stuff. thats why disabling hw overlays fixes it. same guy that screwed up the kernel colors that merged it into 4.2.2 btw. : P
gimpor again,
hwoverlay is not permanent, a reboot unchecks it. try this
replace persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=true
with debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3
in your build.prop
or in the worst case persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false
Its much better but still not fixed. Only done it once in about 8 hours whilst playing a solitaire game. I will try the other suggestions when I have decoded them into English :-/
I have not found any games that don't work yet, bad piggies etc. Seem to work okay. Would they be GPU accelerated?
Once again thanks for the assistance with this, it does get rather annoying when you show someone your phone and it's all garbled.
It still does this though :-/

I haven't found out anything further and it's still doing it but not as bad. It doesn't seem to happen to every stock phone so I'm guessing its hardware related, or at least something in software not playing well with this specific hardware. Mine is a 212 so they may have changed something on the later ones. I got it from Carphone warehouse on the UK as they were the only ones with stock. I had it changed already as the first one I got was DOA. I think it's going to have to go back if I can't get it fixed soon.

Hi all,
I'm not sure what to call this issue and I haven't seen it before, please point me in the right direction if it's elsewhere, I honestly am not sure what to search for.
I noticed today that I suddenly have this odd "leak" of color in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Sort of a small patch of orange. Tried to take a photo with my Nexus 4 but it's quite hard to make out on camera. Any idea what this is? Is it definitely hardware? Reckon it can be returned? I haven't done anything to cause the issue.
