my screen currently looks like this! It used to be just a minor thing.. sometimes when i would power on my screen, it would flicker like this for a second and then return normal. This would happen only once in 2 weeks, so i was never bothered by it. But since yesterday ... the display just keeps showing this.. it is responding to the touch.. i can see the lines change colours.. it briefly flickered to the actual display once or twice for a second.. but now its permanently like this.. any ideas on what to do?

Try clearing cache and davlik in recovery. If that doesn't help, may have to reflash rom, or stock or something. If its still there, must be a hardware issue. A bad one by the looks of it.

Electronics just fail. That's life. But it does suck!!
Yeah, seems its hardware tho. I'd say your device is done. Sorry to say.
Unless someone has seen this before? Thing is, if you can't do anything with it....you're probably out of luck. You could blindly try to use fastboot or something to flash it again. But if the lines are there in recovery and when its off and charging.....I think its definitely hardware.

Sure you could! See no reason why not....if you're lucky enough to still have warranty.

No question about it. If it's still under warranty, it's pretty certain a hardware issue.

Just flashed a new ROM and noticed there is a line about a little higher than halfway that seems to tear even when I move the screen slightly. Is this a hardware issue or a ROM issue? Never noticed before. Should I unroot and send to sprint? Its really noticable.

What kernel does it show when you go to settings > about phone? That's most likely the cause
Running netarchys universal 4.1.9.1. with myns new twopointtwo rom. It went away now, but was pretty bad at that one point. Seems to come and go.

You may want to find his thread in the dev section and try another version of it. It usually stays on the first page or two.
What about this version is causing this effect? I have ran this kernel before with no problems. Is this for sure a software issue and not a hardware?
It's only when you turn the phone on after a ROM flash, or reboot. Just turn the screen off, and then back on, and it fixes it...

I am having the same problem. I find that different kernels clear it up. I also suspect that on some kernels it happens as the phone heats up.... hmmmm....
Hi does anybody reading this have the similar issue? If so do you know the solution or how to fix this issue?
1. Adobe Flash. A small little issue I've been also having that Adobe flash on my Android gives me issues, when I play a video on the browser it usually takes a couple of seconds for the video to show, sometimes it doesn't so I have to reload the page
2. Ever since I've flashed and rooted my device, on the screen I've been getting a little bit of this wavy thing at the bottom of my screen, almost as if it's loosing power down at the bottom of the screen....If that makes sense.
If you know a solution or is facing this problem, please let me know. Or post the solution?
It'll be a great big help! Thanks and thanks for your time! Much appreciate!
my opinion is:
the flash player, it playing streaming software player flash.....it may lag just a little but its not that big a deal is it really?
the wavy lines, i would say look into of a its a defective tab and if you have receipt take it back for a replacement
i wouldnt say defective tab, have had mine for a year, and after flashing over to tabonney's ICS i get an odd flicker too, as for flash, its trying to render what computers play, with just much less hardware resources to use. Its slow and thats the way its going to be.
My video issues aren't like yours Mkami... But if I might suggest making a full backup, then reflash your rom. Maybe you'll get lucky and the issue will go away.

You know, I've been waiting on someone to mention the odd flicker. Does your tab do it when either, a 3d game or app is running, or maybe on a home screen that has an email widget? And does the tablet seem to still be reacting normally to touch input other than the fact that the screen doesn't show any change? I am thinking about sending my tab in over this for warranty work. I got mine over a year ago too. Sure am glad I paid with plastic, got an extra year warranty for doing it. I just wonder what they are gonna say about the bent corner where it hit the pavement...

oh flickering? i think thats a ics problem as most of the ics based roms have the flickering plus stock,. but the guy said he had wavy lines at the bottom of the screen. never heard of that before.

With pached bootloader and any rom on this site and stock I got
screen flicker, very poor battery, not so smooth scrolling and host of other gliches. (all compared to ota). Flashed back to stock ota and not looked back. No problems. It seemed to me that the problems are not in the roms because stock had the same problems, it the act of changing the bootloader. Just what I have seen, try it just to get rid of the screen problem, go to ota stock no mods and it will be gone.

You know, that's kind of what I've been thinking. I've been testing by going back and forth between bootloaders. So far that is the best explaination. I'll likely go back to stock again soon. But it seems like I remember it doing it at least once on the stock bl...
When I first updated to ICS, all was well. Within a couple weeks, Flash video got laggy, the browsers got laggy, and I got the occasional screen flickers. I backed everything up and did a hard reset and it's been great ever since.
I haven't heard a really good explanation for all this, but a good theory is leftover files remaining on the system, or possibly file fragments, are interfering with the OS. A hard reset purges the old crap out... regardless of the explanation, it's known to fix these problems.

Awesome, glad that you were able to get to normal. It didn't help me tho... I might start a different thread for this if it keeps up. I don't want to hijack Mkami's thread with a different problem. Thank you for the help.
Hey everyone thanks for the advices and different problems you guys are facing.
Sorry for my poor explanation... When I mean screen "wave" what I really meant is screen flicker
I found a semi cure for this...Though I don't know about other peoples tablets, all I did was raise the brightness of the screen and the flicker seemed to not show, I must say though that flicker doesn't really much bother me as it does with the flash, but I guess I have to live with it, just a heads up, my tab isn't defective. Truthfully when I do go to stock ROM everything on the device including the flicker goes away, it's only when I flash my device that I notice that, but I am pretty sure there might be a solution for that one or another, because a buddy of mine has the same tablet, which is why I got that a500. I love it and I love android way much more than any other.
Anyways, I hope Flexreaper releases a new rom soon, really am excited with anticipation. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us.
I am going to try that hard reset and fully restoring the device after a nandroid backup and test and reflash and check if anything works with a good
result I shall post up the steps and how to fix this little issue.
I thank you all! Please post if anybody else has this issue or solution down! Much appreciated! Thanks! :laugh:
I've only had the S3 for a few days and haven't even installed very many apps.
When I pull down the top menu or when I first open an app it flickers with white pixels.
I'm assuming this is a hardware issue with the phone?
What do you think?

Well I was going to post a YouTube video of it, but I guess I can't because I don't have 10 posts.

Yeah, it's extremely irritating.
I actually just did a factory reset and it's still doing it.
So I'm guessing a hardware issue with the screen, just my luck!
Any other opinions on this?

Factory reset only deletes user data it does not "reflash" the OS. Before you return it you may want to (if you're into it) try reflashing stock ROM via Odin. If after you've flashed stock rom you are still experiencing issues then you know it's definitely hardware.
Hi
Im having trouble with my Nexus 4, its stock rom out of the box.
Some times, completely random, the screen is just black and you can't do anything. The notification light is flashing, but nothing else is happening.
I can reboot the phone by holding down vol down and pow, but this can take a while.
Any suggestions?
What color is it flashing? Red?

It sees like a software issue, you should try to flash a custom rom on it and see if it still happens... (that's what I'd do)

He has never had this issue so ill try that.

And if it still happens after flashing it, you can return it to stock, re lock it and send it to RMA...

At the risk of bumping dead threads, I'm getting this now after going to 4.4
I *was* rooted/unlocked, and went from 4.3 to KRT16O and then KRT16S - and overnight with WiFi on and on the orb charger, the phone would be 'dead' in the morning (except for the white notification light occasionally flashing).
So, I wiped the phone, relocked the bootloader and put a full KRT16S flash on. It's still happening :\
It looks like a SoD (Sleep of Death). A lot of solutions are given here, it's worth a try. There is no generic solution to solve this problem yet.
Just wondering if this is something of a user fault from bad/incorrect flashing? or hardware/software from ASUS/Google problems.
If you have a dead N7 from whatever reason other than dropping it or dunking it in water. Please respond, perhaps if there is a significant number of people with problems not caused by physical or water damage. We can with the help of some legal advisors bring this to the attention of ASUS/Google and they might change their minds and do something about all of us???
My died after 5.0.1 OTA update. It booted without problem and worked pretty bad and I rebooted it few times and after some time it didn't booted any more. Recovery worked but I could not unlock bootloader. Luckily I had warranty for one more month and they switched motherboard free of charge. And few hours ago I updated to 5.1.1 (ota) and it works great now (I have three users and there is just small lag when switching between them). Hope it will stay like that.
Mine just keeps rebooting after the Google title and then it gets these lines running on a blank screen then shuts off.

Do I use NRT and just revert back to 4.4 or something?

I'd try that first, unless you have a known good backup stored on device (you should, if not now is a good time to start the habit.)
Cool I'll mess around with it. Thanks!

Np. If its still broken after post more info and it can be figured out.
My sister's N7 is a refurbished model and it has constantly been giving her problems, it would always after a month or so of usage would reboot and bootloop. I would have to boot into recovery and wipe cache or factory reset or even flash the stock image again to get it working. I just got back from being away and its now completely dead, won't even charge. It was running stock 5.1

Sounds like failed memory, or memory controller, by the symptoms of reboots after a month that were fixed by a wipe and reinstall. Once it got to a certain level of storage usage it failed, you wiped, and the cycle repeated. Unfortunately it is probably dead. The good news is you can pick up a replacement motherboard for a very reasonable price on eBay.
Update!
So for my issue, it was the battery.
First, I tried to flash the stock image. Still restarted and got the lines. It drove me nuts!
Something inside me said to order a new battery from amazon for $20.00.
I did that, installed the new battery, flashed, and my nexus 7 is back in action. For those that are going through the fuzzy lines and restarting issue, you guys might want to try that. Worked out for me. Cheers!
Edit: I'm not sure if I would like to go back to updating all the way to 5.1 yet. But 4.1 works for me. [emoji28]
im on my 3rd
today at $165 per piece its a joke its the best tablet you can get under $200. I like to keep a tablet with me at all times because of the nature of my work. and this fits in my pocket assuming a don't have a case. I find the note for a little too small to work on. it's a great device for the money and I'll keep buying them as long as I keep breaking them or they keep dying for something else this size comes on the market at this price. my only real gripe is that the graphics abilities if these devices are a little weak.

I wish I did the same, I let my N7 update to 5.1.1 and its so slow, even removed many apps like "Facebook" and tweaked everything. I dont think the 1st generation N7 is up to par with 5.1.1. Might have to unlocked and downgrade to 4.4.4....
