I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.
I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.
I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.
I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Omg, it just refreshes. Is that so annoying?

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.
Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.
Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.
I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).
The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.
Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.
I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine
i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?
I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.
Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.
I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.
i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.
It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

Had the same issue last night. I was playing video around 6pm eastern then around 7-7:30pm I was unable to watch any video because it would force close on me. Then I tried my HTC Thunderbolt and it was working just fine. Then I checked the market on my tablet and it was not even showing up in my apps but it was showing up on my tablet apps. Then I went market via browser and it was showing up not avalaible for my tablet but it was avaliable to all my phones. As far as I am aware of it is still not available.... Nope I just checked the market via web browser and it still not showing up (5:30am Est). I hope this is fixed by the time I get back home in the next 11H 30M
Yes just checked mine 5.45pm in thailand and force closing! !

I've noticed that the use of YouTube has been intermittent over the last few days. Just when I think it's fixed, it messes up again. The YouTube forum has the same complaints. Some think it's a badly formed xml list somewhere.
Can't wait until it's fixed for good.
It is a known issue to everyone youtube app force close? Guys if you encounter the same problem like everyone else just send report to let the developer know about this issue

Ok. May be true about those guys as what happens yesterday was a global issue. So might be ok to assume that its going to be fine from now on unless the global issue reoccurs.

Hello guys I am looking for stable version of Flash for my nexus 4 running 4.2. Is there a stable version that will work with out flickering black screen when I use Firefox. Do I have to root my phone to get it
Any help would be great.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Im using this.... got no problems...
Currently watching the West Ham Chelsea game
Hmm. I downloaded and installed that on my first N4 and it worked flawlessly; I had no problems watching videos on cnn.com with Firefox. However, since then I have replaced that N4 with another -- the camera LED was non-functional on the first one -- and also received the update for 4.2.1. Now when I play cnn.com videos, I get sound but no video. I'm not sure what's responsible for that change -- cnn.com, the hardware, or the new version of Android. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm trying to install flash on 4.2.1. I can't get it to install. Maybe Google blocked it with some changes?

Right. CNN is the only site I visit regularly that uses Flash, but I tracked down another site and tried it and it worked. The funny thing is that CNN worked for me last week, and it was a bit too coincidental that it worked on my first N4 but not on my second for me to think it was something that CNN changed on their site. I guess maybe it was, though. Thanks for the reply.
I've been trying to play a video off and on all day, but this weird overlay keeps covering up the screen and I can't get it to go away unless I restart. It looks like the Chromecast overlay, but it's been uninstalled, plus I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can anyone explain this?

Unfortunately uninstalling the updates and not reinstalling them is the only way I can keep it off my screen. As Bsmith states, it does appear to be a known issue according to the comments being left on YouTube in the play store. It is also related to using a Bluetooth connection and the similarity to how Chromecast connects.

For some reason I cannot find the comedy central app in the Google play store. I know I've seen it there before, I want it so I can watch the daily show and Colbert report clips. Does anyone have the apk or know why it's not showing up for me? Thanks!

The only things showing up for me via the Play website are the apps for The Daily Show, Tosh.0, and The Colbert Report. According to Comedy Central's site, they launched their app at the beginning of the month, but it's currently available only for iOS 7. Sorry
Thanks, at least it's not just me. The weird thing is I could have sworn they had it before, maybe I imagined it. Thanks again!

If you want a comedy app you can try this one I found on the Play Store: Stand Up Comedy
There was an app for android. I flashed a rom that caused hulu ads to break hulu. Had downloaded and watched full ep of colbert with no issues. Learned about it from the show.
Not sure if i had flashed again and never downloaded it again which i doubt cause I've never had issues with hulu where I normally watch the show. it seems it was pulled giving merit to what johnus said.
but why?
guess i should say I found this post from google, I have a tmo note 3.
