Bought a Note 4 on launchday and used it for 2 months with no problems. Then bought a Nexus 6 and used that till yesterday and sold it and bought a new Note 4.
After using it for 18 hours the drop down curtain starts to flicker/lag en the system seems to lag a bit but the flickering of the drop down curtain is visible and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.
Anyone else with the same issue or anyone know how to solve it?

I've never noticed my screen "flicker"; does it flash off and on again or what?
Yeah, please clarify what a flicker is... if it only happened a couple times then it probably is related to the apps or maybe a couple things going on at once.
If it is not a constant, consistent problem and had only happened a couple times then perhaps it isn't a problem at all.

I've never seen my phone do that. I don't do a lot of gaming or anything real intensive though.

thats a OS issue (fixable). Not like the other hardware issues.
please stop trying to mislead people and hype the problem. thanks
I get the flicker but it's definitely app related.
When using Google music app and going to lock screen, the " widget" sort of flickers and stretches throughout the lock screen

My screen flickered for a good 5 minutes and even a reboot didn't fix it. I think it's hardware related because if it was software a reboot would have fixed it. Could have been a driver glitch too but I'm pretty sure a reboot would've fixed it. My flickered a lot though saw a bunch of vertical lines and discoloration. Idk if that's what you're talking about.

I use Google Music a lot and I've never seen that. I just tried to replicate it and other than the usual CRT off animation I didn't see anything that I would construe as a flicker or flash.
If you hold your device in front of you with the screen on and look beyond it (i.e. over it's shoulder per say) you can see flicker. Works best in a dark room.
No big deal, but it's there.
I think its a big deal ...you spend your money for a working product..these issues need to be addressed..I thought I could trust LG again but dont think I can anymore

Is this a known OS issue, or are you just saying it might be?

This sounds like a refresh rate issue, which would be hardware, yes?

Sounds like one of those magic eye pictures. If you squint at your screen while holding it at a 45-degree angle in a dark room with brightness turned all the way down and jog in place...
I'm not sure how to replicate it based on what you said, but I still don't see any screen flicker.

Mine started flickering like mad today for the first time. I rebooted, but that didn't fix it. I started up a benchmark app and the flickering stopped after the graphics benchmarks ran. I had to RMA my first Nexus 7 with screen issues too, so I'm hoping this is just a software issue
I don't have this issue at all.
Sometimes but not always my Nexus 4 wich has battery drain problem (msm_hsic_host wakelock) shows artifacts on screen.
It does not happen always its stands for few seconds then it disappears.
Lastly it happend me today when i was using GoogleNow and it showed on search bar then few weeks ago it showed on onscreen buttons.
Does anyone seen artifacts on their Nexus 4 so far that has battery drain issues or any other Nexus 4???

is this what you're talking about? no idea what's going on. halp.
I'm having a similar issue, where at times, areas look almost pixelated? I can't quite describe it. Almost like I can see the outline of every pixel in a certain graphic, for example the Google search bar, or an icon.
Yes and sometimes shows on other parts of screen

One thing that annoying me on my nexus 4. You can see on the left of my screen, straight dark line from top to bottom. I haven't drop my nexus before. It appeared on dark colours especially grey colours. For your info its start to appeared when 10 minutes screen on after about 20 minutes screen off. Is it normal? Anyone here have the same problem?

Holy damn. I was just about to make a thread. But mine can't be screenshot. Its seen just like you said and I can flick the different home screens and it stays in the left I've flashed back to stock and still there. Been a week. It got less noticeable when used less. I'm wondering if its because I'm near a big subwoofer in my living room. I know TV used to do this like a bleed line. Have you heard any data yet??? I will send mine back. Please let me know...

So I have this weird issue. The very bottom of my screen does not respond well! At first I thought it was a bug with the navigation bar, tried several roms and tried PIE controls until I figured that there is something wrong. I have the navbar now set at 48 dpi and I have to press at middle of it to work, where the very bottom is dead. I activated 360 rotation so that my statusbar now is at the bottom of the screen instead of navbar and it does not respond at all! Anyone can explain ?

I have Tried like lots of different roms with clean fresh installation and the problem is still there ! I think its a hardware problem. For ezample right now if I set my navbar to 32 dpi it wont respond at all because the bottom of my screen have lost the touch sensitivity. I have droppes my phone several times, could that be it ? I cant really remember when I exactly started noticing the issue...but just few days ago...I have tried PIE and same **** :s I have to set the trigger area to max for it to respond...and yes im talking about experiments after a clean install before installing ANY third party app

okays... Now I think it surely a hardware problem,as you said you havr also dropped your phone several times.. All the best goto the service centre for the repair.. dont tell them that you have dropped your phone else they will charge you badly even if you are under warranty.. You are welcome..

Think Im gonna give no damn about it and of course buy the nexus 5, which I would have done either way..but im surprised how can a touchscreen lose a part of its sensitivity somewhere on the screen ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you look closely at your screen at an angle with the screen off you will be able to see the digitizer matrix that is fused to the screen.
It is a series of squares.
Each of them squares has 3 horizontal lines and one vertical.
Behind the bezel there will be the circuitry that connects every horizontal and vertical line
If say for instance after one of your phone drops it has damaged one of the connectors at the side, you will lose the entire row of touch detection. Which is probably what has happened

Alex is right i had this happen to my moto defy. I'd say get it done under warrnty no matter if youre keeping or selling. Improve your resale value and protect you from having the entire digitizer die on you
today my nexus 4 screen turned bright white then the corners turned dark and the whole screen slowly turned dimmed gray.
I forced shutdown my nexus 4 and restarted it and the phone was working again for a few mins but then the same thing happen.
the screen turned white then gray.
anyone know if this problem is fixable?
right now its on andriod 4.4.2 or which ever is the latest version of andriod.
and the phone is stock.
I only had my nexus 4 for about 4 months.
I am able to connect usb to computer and see all the folders and files.
bump...
anyone know what is causing the white/gray screen??
I need help or I might have to start contacting google support and rma the phone.
Same thing has been happening to me 2-5 times per day since KitKat.. Even with the latest patch update. Super annoying...
