Screen Flicker - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure how to describe it, but the last two weeks I've noticed a strange vertical narrow flicker on my Nexus 10. It happens randomly and with no particular app. Just a brief, sudden, very narrow flickering line from the top to the bottom of the screen. It's not continuous and does not seem to happen in the same part of the screen every time. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there's an explanation or fix. Would appreciate any help or insights.

i had some when swiping finger across keyboard on PUB AOKP 5/20 release but now running different rom and works fine.

Experienced that too on my Nexus 10, but after flashing Paranoid Android it was away.
But on my device it only appeared when I was playing a game or when I did something other that needed much power. I think it is a fault with the GPU overheating or something like that.

Yeah, it's really weird and random. I wonder if it's a problem with cm? I've also noticed that it only happens in portrait mode so far.

Interesting. I'm curious to know how many people are experiencing this problem and if it's something I should be concerned about. And if the warranty will cover it.

SwiftKey X stats(and others!) (with pics!)

Thought it might be kind of cool to post your SwiftKey X stats page here to compare to others and such. And feel free to make update post in an effort to see how much you type a week or whatever. And mention on your first post how long you have been using the keyboard.
Mine are low as I just reset my stats earlier today hah.

Edit: post any keyboard with stats!
7775 characters,
2762 characters saved,
"35%" more efficient (although I think it saves you less cause of all the times it messes you up)
Seems better overall than slide it /swype though I'm not sure yet.

Btw how did you take the screen shot? All I can find is complicated methods that involve rooting.
I did it with miui, it's built in. I think you would have to be rooted though anyway you went about it.

there are no-root-required screenshot methods.
Edited op to include any keyboard with stats. Didn't want to alienate anyone

Thread reopened and moved to general upon request.
Thanks
Don't know how or why I ended up putting this in the dev thread, had every intention of putting it in general hah. oops!

Not bad for a few days typing. Efficiency remains the same however. Anyone know exactly what 'more efficient ' means?

Hm maybe its a problem with the actual screen and therefore can't be taken with a screenshot..... I'll try to upload pics with my phone later but, if you would notice them, also I just looked at this post on my computer and I can't see them either, it must be a problem with the LCD

Yeah sounds like it. Nothing you can do to fix that. Hopefully you're still in your 14 day window and can exchange it. I'm going to be getting mine in two weeks and have my fingers crossed that it doesn't have any defects like this.

Overheating

So I know the phone gets hot but I was watching a flash video on Firefox and the audio got garbled. I closed Firefox immediately and took this screenshot.

Everything else about my N4 is excellent. Well, except battery life. That aside, is this a hardware issue? I hate doing RMAs but I'd hate for my phone to die even more and can't be without a phone.

How many hours do you get screen on?
You could try a kernel w/ undervolting available and see if that helps.
If your phone is rooted and have busy box installed then I'd recommend Bricked kernel. I used to have issue with heat too but after using bricked kernel I have never seen it goes up past 105. Its even rare to see it goes up to 100.
So this could be a kernel issue then? Hm. I'll think about it then. I wanted to keep the phone stock but maybe I'll try the kernel.

from my experience flash always makes the phone run hot. hell anything that uses the CPU at a high utilization for a long amount of time makes it hot, games like GTA Vice City for example

He's right. It's flash.

Problem with wallpapers when I switch the tablet in horizontal mode (pictures include

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and I was thinking that it would the best place to ask people's about my problem, hope you can help guys.
If I go straight to the point , when I switch my tablet from portrait to horizontal half the screen shows the wallpaper and the other half is black.
I have auto rotation on and when I browse the web or YouTube I don't get that problem.
What do you think it could be?
I attached 2 pictures to show what happen, and also the same thing happen even with the stock Google wallpapers that came with the tablet.
I appreciate your help guys.

Are you using the stock launcher or did you install one?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I use the stock launcher and in fact when I use a live wallpaper is all fine.
But when I use a regular wallpaper it gets problematic, even with the stock jelly bean wallpapers.
It seems like a display problem, but there's no setting for that on the tablet.

Google notifications

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Every once in a while I get a pop up notification from Google. Opening it, it directs me to Google settings. Is it telling me I need to change something? I didn't think so. Everything seems to be working fine. More annoyingly, I can't swipe it away. It seems the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?
Thanks very much for any help & here is screen shot of what I'm talking about.

See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3366469 It seems to be something to do with Nova launcher.

Thanks very much for that. Narrowing it down to something to do with Nova launcher is a start at least. I'll research further. It's still very annoying though!

Hmm I occasionally get this pop up when I say ok Google from the lock screen with ok Google always on enabled. It appears for a couple of seconds then goes away, I thought it was to say Google now is recording audio?
