nexus 7 screen flickering

So this only Happens when I'm on Google chrome and I've noticed that ocassionally that the screen flickers, its not crazy annoying but definitely distracting. Have any of you had this problem?
Hopefully any of you aren't epileptic.

Hopefully the next update will resolve this problem.

so set and wait.
So I should just wait for a fix and not return it over and over to try to find a good one. It has a year warranty.

I see it too!

I turned off automatic brightness and I think that solved it. I think it was flickering when it was changing brightness.

its still there with auto off.
And with the brightness up but it so slight u have to be ocd like I am about my stuff to see it. But its easy to tell its not hardware because games like sonic CD are beautiful.

It happens to mine when its on the lowest brightness setting of when "auto brightness" is on. For now I've just set the brightness to max so I don't have deal with all the flickering.. for now.

With my settings set to Automatically lock (immediately after sleep) and power button instantly locks with a visible patter screen lock, my Nexus 7 on wake-up [pushing the power button immediately] either right after an invalid pattern code (where device then sleeps) or waiting a few seconds with no activity until the device sleeps (where the Nexus 7 fades to a black screen) will have a delay in bringing up the lock screen OR sort of flicker presenting some sort of black and white bar lines background at the bottom half of the screen for a split second before bringing up the lock screen. Is this normal or it is in fact a defect?
Thanks in advance!

Not sire about that I have seen it in 3rd patty apps on all devices before. But the flicker we are seeing is like it changing the brightness up and down.

As does mine. I think people think it goes away when not on auto, because the "low" setting is about 20-25% and auto will often bring it lower than that, making the flickering worse.
At medium brightness the problem is almost, almost, non-existant.
It's also not just in chrome as some say, just most noticable on chrome's white backgrounds. I've noticed it in any app with lighter, brighter colors. I just exchanged my Nexus 7, and the new one has the exact same problem. This leads me to think the software problem is the most correct answer.

I get it every once in a while. Full brightness set, no automatic. Ill wait for a fix, doesn't bug me too bad.

I suspect it to be a software problem because in game it looks great. Plus in a new device like this software problems go with the territory.

And mine as well I noticed my screen flickered when my batt was getting down to 10% and my brightness level was at about 1/3. But now its charged and I don't see it flickering yet. I don't know...with Chrome having a bug (lags when scrolling) and the flickering screen...I may be returning my unit? I really hate to because aside from my issues, it's an awesome device!

Don't take it back they well fix it with a update.

No charging notification light

I'm on T-Mobile D801 and I notice that if I'm using my phone, while charging, my charging notification light doesn't come on.
But as soon as I close my case, it comes on.
Is this normal for this phone.

Happens on AT&T as well. Presumable because one could look at the status bar and see that the charging battery icon is animating.
Personally, I would be annoyed if the LED continued to glow for anything when I am using my phone.

I totally agree with you. I was just making sure it wasn't a glitch that's all. Thank you for verifying this. Cheers!

Display of black weird

Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.

Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.

I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.

I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.

Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.

I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see

Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.

up to now... I don't think it is visible AFAIK.
And if you try to google out there, there is/are app(s) which manipulate this function, by keep screen on, and make the color of the screen turn black (as if it is off). And it is working only with OLED display.
I never use/try it, because I don't really like the idea with my N3, whereby I have the s-view attached already.

Always on display

Anyone ever noticed the always on feature sometimes goes out of whack and not centered on screen and in different places, that's kind of odd.

I wish it would slowly fade over to a new position. If it moves I see it out the corner of my eye and end up looking at it because it just blinked into a different position.

If it did that, it'll probably cause more battery drain. It'll need to redraw every frame to make it look like it's fading.
Always-On screen / Glance Screen / Active Screen from Motorola or Microsoft(Nokia) displays static image and I think it's using a panel self-refresh memory so it doesn't wake up the GPU or CPU too much.
