Nexus 7 Backlight Flicker?

Does anyone else have this problem with their nexus 7? I just got my nexus 7 today but I noticed that the backlight seems to flicker randomly
It doesn't look like much in the video but it is very noticeable and gets annoying when you're reading an ebook like i was.. Here's a video showing the problem.(It's near the end)
VIDEO LINK: h**p://db.tt/28eD0NLk (It happens around 9 second in) (change ** into tt)
For whatever reason this forum would not post a video link to show the problem.. for those who wants to know what it looks like please PM me..
But basically the screen flickers randomly ..
Is this a software problem? Should I go back and get it exchanged?

I don't see a video

I think its different.
Mine flickers no matter which app I use..even on home screen it flickers..
Also this forum has the most ridiculousspam prevention method..5 mins between posts + no link ? WTF

Its because you are new, we get a lot of trolls
Does increasing your brightness help?

I've had a similar problem as well. It seemed to happen to me on auto-brightness when it was changing the brightness level. I can't say for sure though, just my observation.

I havn't tried it yet..do we know if it's a hardware problem or software?
I just got it today so I can still return it if it turns out to be hardware

We really dunno at this point, but we are speculating software since both HTC One X and TF300 had similar problems and were fixed with firmware updates. Also someone switched it three times and all of them had this issue. Also try to run the screen in a pitch black room and tell me if the screen flicker is there. I may have a theory but need some other people to see if their units are behaving the same way as mine.

You can still post the link when you alter it a bit, insert a few *** into it, for example.

I turned mine on as soon as I got hold of it, no flicker, managed to go through and set up things, powered off and left to charged.
Coming back to it the screen would appear to turn on and off randomly, I thought it could be an app controlling a proximity sensor (I have one on my phone and I was EXTREMELY tired!), when I took it into the light there was no change.
I found that shaking it would help it flicker on and off at all intervals but didn't fix it. In the end I just started pushing random areas on the back, just before the issue went away I pressed around the bottom left quarter of mine and haven't had an issue since!
Glad I wasn't the only one with the problem though and would love to actually find out what it was.
Hope this helps!

Try this video,
h**p://dl.dropbox.com/u/13153603/Videos/VID_20120715_100253.mp4
it is using google map and you can see the constant flickering.. It doesn't look very severe in the video but it is actually very noticeable and annoying

I have the same issue with mine. It only seems noticeable when I have the brightness set to the lowest setting and on a page that is predominately white. I don't think it's the proximity sensor though, because it happens both when I set it manually to the lowest setting and when I'm in the dark and the tablet sets the brightness all the way down itself. Hope the next update fixed this, because it's really annoying!

Seems like only a small portion of nexus 7 owners are reporting this issue .. I think I'm going to return mine ...

I first noticed this flicker in a darkened room, so yes, it is definitely something going on. I'll try disabling auto-brightness to see if that matters.
If anyone else has info about this, please share!

I can attest that the flicker is ever present in a pitch black room as well.

Like this?
There are a few videos on youtube, but i cant post links but if you do a search you can find it

I noticed a flickering in chrome yesterday. But only in chrome and only while the page is rendering after it fully renders no more flickering.

Everyone turn off wifi and I guarantee it will go away. It happens when using wifi which makes it hard to believe that a software update can fix it.

Note3 camera and Wifi bug

Even video gets those lines as well, but 3rd party camera app works fine such as Camera Zoom FX.
Anyone else suffering this bug?

Note 3 SM_N9005

Hi, I just picked up my Note3 SM-N9005 from Malaysia.
I get vertical lines while taking video in low light and sometimes in normal light condition. This only happens while downloading or uploading via Wifi .
I just would like to know, if this is hardware or software issue?So please try to take a video while downloading or uploading anything via Wifi or just deactivate and activate while shooting.and tell me what happens.
thank you,
check this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/23i98f1qlkrgfkq/2013-10-19 10.33.07.mp4

Same here.
Squiggly vertical lives when recording video.

I just recorded this while uploading another video to YouTube via Wi-Fi. I have a U.S. S-800 N3.

Only happens on the stock camera app. Use a different app.
Also, try clearing the cache and data of the stock app.

Note 3 camera bug
Reservin,
You're definitely not alone with this particular bug. I'm currently in correspondence with Samsung regarding the issues.
If this is not resolved satisfactorily, then I shall be getting a refund.
In fact, they are sending a courier to pick up my unit very soon for testing!

I'm having the same problem with my Note 3.
Factory reset does nothing, and I think it doesn't happen in airplane mode. Downloading a large file with Wifi or 3G does not affect it. Installing some apps like "Moves" seem to make it happen more frequently. Might be CPU related? I'm getting mine replaced tomorrow, as the unit is only one day old. I will report if that one has the same problem now that I know what to look for.
Can't post links as I usually just lurk, but I think these can be figured out:

Little update:
I took the Note 3 back to the store and exchanged it to newer one. First this one worked perfectly, but after couple OTA system updates they started to appear again. I'm hopeful this is software related issue.

I had the same issue first time when using camera in low light condition (nordic firmware).
The problem got solved by itself after restarting the device and now two days after still havent seen the lines.
I had seen similar problem on old lcd and tft monitors when they are exposed on high frequency waves. Not sure that there is connection between them and the camera on Note 3.

Thanks man. I disabled Wifi, like was suggested and no problemo, when Wifi is off. No lines, video recording works fine. But after turning Wifi back on, problem is back. By the way I'm using too nordic firmware (I live in Finland). Few days ago I rooted my Note 3 with De la Vega method (works fine, Knox 0 etc), so my first idea was, that this is something to do with that, but this problem existed before I did it. Looked videos, that I made before rooting and these horizontal lines are there. But only in home made videos. And when I'm at home, my Wifi is always turned on. So I'm almost 100 % sure, that this problem is related to Wifi somehow. Did you updated your device already with newest firmware? Maybe fix is in new update? Because of that root I didn't update myself, so I'm using still MJ1 firmware.

Same thing happen to me when I take video whole connected to wifi. I guess there's some wifi interference while taking the video. Don't think that it is a hardware issue.
No issue when taking video on 3g network.

Hi Atsco,
I also live in Finland (Kirkkonummi) and bought my Note 3 from Verkkokauppa/Helsinki. It was with MJ1 firmaware and I update it to MJ2. Currently using the stock one with Nova launcher. The only description of the update was "Improved stability" . I can't confirm that the problem vanished after the update, but as I don't experience it any more there is probability this update to fix this defect.

Lines on note camera? Is it just a faulty device?

Not sure if new threads needed couldn't find a post to on it. Anyways my camera on the rear seems fine in daylight buy when the light drops I get loads of lines flickering. These show in picture below (on the roof top and bottom of windows right across the screen) . This is brand new phone (3 days old)
Should I take it back?

Dont ...... take it back yet. The next device u will get most likely will have the same issue.
This particularity happens when the device is connected to a wifi network. Try again while disconnected from a wifi network.
I also have this problem and changed the device the same day i got it. Same issue tough.

i got those once too. I was in my house and now that i think of it i was connected to wifi. Is it possible that they overlooked such a huge bug?

I have the same issues yes.. I think this is a big manufacturer bug when you are connected on WIFI.. not cool samsung, hope you can fix it with a software update but I think its hardware related..

I read this too late. I took the device back today and I'm now on my second note. I have literally just got in the door and connected to my wifi. Haven't tested it on wifi yet but there was no lines in town in dimmed light.
Another reason I took it back was because I kept having unresponsive power and home key buttons.
This was temperamental but still an issue.
Just did the 2 updates from Samsung hopefully this one will be alright

I had the same issue with my ex note 3. I guess all of them are same. I was almost killing shop assistant while trying to get new one. You will see the same lines when you are reacording.

Solution
I added a simple tasker rule to disable wifi and mobile data while the camera app is running. I also mutes the dial tone volume to get rid of shutter sounds...
This phone needs some patching until rooting becomes possible without loosing warranty.
I am so pissed at Samsung. Their hardware team created perfection only to be ruined by the monkeys who make their software

I couldn't agree with you more.. Very disappointing that I spend a lot of money on a device i believe to be probably the best on the market for it to be ruined by something as simple as taking pictures.
But. . Touch wood.. This one hasn't produced the same lines... It did however lock up one on the day i got it requiring battery pull.

@JAMIE1000UK what's your new phone's software version? Mine's still MJ1 and I'm guarding it like gold, because with this I still have some chance of rooting, when I gather up the courage...

I'm running mj7 too. I'm pretty much the same. . Holding back on root.
Having said that. When I took out the phone I got phones4u care with it.
Meaning I get a direct replacement no quarrels within 21 days of purchase so shouldn't be a problem.

People are reporting that it only happens when using the camera when using wifi.
I took the device back as I use my camera every day. The bloke in the shop knew exactly what I was talking about before I'd even shown him the images.
Must be something in the configuration. Our maybe just the camera module.
No idea. Id take it back on Warrenty.

Mine happened on the original device I had after I'd fully updated it.
I'm on same firmware on the new device and I've never had the problem. Baring in mind that the phones arrived from same store on the same firmware probably from the same batch that they had delivered. .

Advice please

Hello Xda members, I currently have i9300 (S3) and willing to go for a high end phone, I am amazed with Note 3 specs and S-pen, but shocked about how people say both N9000 and N9005 lag and they drop frame while playing games, would like to know your opinions and recommendations for other phone to buy, thank you in advance.

No lag or dropped frames ever for me, only game I play is Dead Trigger 2 and it runs perfectly.
By the way, why are you posting here if you want a recommendation for a device that isn't going to be a Note 3??

No lag on my device.
Ever since I use it on MJ7 4.3 stock non-rooted, NB7 4.4.2 stock non-rooted and rooted, NC2 custom ROM. All no lagging, and to be frank eversince 4.4.2, the device even smoother.
The best phone in my opinion of all Samsung phone currently, in terms of smoothness and battery. You won't regret to buy. If your country have N9005 (LTE), you better by this one, as snapdragon has more support on this Note 3 forum, because more ppl use it compare to the exynos. But if your country only have N900, then no choice.
PS :
If you ever buy it, first thing that you have to do is download the multitouch test app from google play, and try to touch by 10 fingers (and try to move the 10 fingers around the screen. The 10 fingers should be still detected wherever you move them, then your screen is okay). If got problem, return it direct. This Note 3 device has issue with its multitouch screen, other than that, all are good. :good:
Cheers.

The note 3 camera has problems. The wi-fi and/or GPS interfere with it in normal light and mostly in low light conditions showing up as horizontal lines on screen and when you take the picture. I was expecting a much better camera on a 700€ phone and it has made me question if i'll ever buy a samsung product again.
My stylus has been used a total of maybe 3 times. Never touched it again.
The rest is all great.

My wifi is on, and GPS on all the times, just try to take picture on a low light conditions. No horizontal lines on screen nor on the pic taken.

No issues here whatsoever. Well worth it
Love the Spen, but then I'm a Wacom Intuos user so it's second nature to me to use a pen.

You pay 700 euro for the phone, not the camera. Do some basic research into sensor chips before you blather on about camera quality in smartphones. I've explained it numerous times.

I have problems with wifi and mobile network on at the same time! I also have problems with lines when taking a photo in low light! It's only a couple of months old could I address these problems if I root and use a custom rom? I love this phone I've had most galaxy's and I wanna keep it should I root?

Actually he has a point, picture quality aside the camera shouldn't have weird artifacts if WIFI or mobile data are on. That is clearly a build issue.

I think we both had a bit of miscommunication there. Most Note 3's had this issue, mine used to as well on 4.3. Since the update NB7 4.4.2 it's gone.

does the problem occured since D1 you use ?
If so, you should contacted samsung earlier before you root and KNOX it off.
But if only happen after u use custom ROM, perhaps you would like to change to others.

and if you are on 4.4.2 and still have the issue, and you haven't rooted, why don't go to the service center. claim from them, since some of us not experience it (especially after 4.4.2).
But u r on NB7 or later? or earlier? if earlier, try to update to NB7 first, and see how.

Sorry not sure what NB7 means does this help identify what I need to know

yes you are on NB7.

or maybe wait for someone who knows better, because I have never experienced this thing since 4.3 MJ7.

Thanks everyone for sharing, my only fear was the lag issue with touchwiz, but now its gone, my fear now is with horizontal line in camera

Very annoying camera issue, please help!

Okay so my camera does this in lowlight and yes when I take a photo the lines will stay... what is wrong?

Bump. It is sad that this is the 4th time I post in this section and get 0 replies.
Anyways I discovered that when I go lower the megapixels to 12MP or anything else NON WIDE the lines disappears, but whenever I choose a wide mode MP the lines appear.
Edit: 5 days ago I didn't have this kind of problem at all. Please help.

no sir its one of the problems with this phone, some other folks have reported the exact same issue i believe its a hardware issue with note 4's camera sensor. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/camera-shooting-lowlight-t3244104
i am afraid there is no way around it it was bothering me so i got rid of it (the next one was restarting randomly...and the next one had a broken gps....lol) samsung does not believe in quality i doubt if they even have a quality control department.

I'm having the same problem as yours
I went to samsung and they tried replacing the camera module but the problem remained, they said that I'm having a custom rom and it corrupted the "IC" of the camera, so it's a software problem as they say.
Is your phone rooted or running any no official rom?

See if you can update your camera firmware by going into the dialer and type *#34971539#

This is mine.
Edit:Update?? How?
