I do, and it is very annoying, it is also presented when writing with the keyboard, when recording a video and using the camera.

I do not know if it's a phone problem or not, but it does not make sense to think it's a phone problem because flickering only occurs in the circumstances I mentioned earlier.

By any chance you have the rootless Pixel launcher or SwiftKey keyboard?

No, I'm using "Gboard" and "launcher" that comes by default on the phone.
But in the same way the camera also blinks when using it.
I have the security patch for March.
I have noticed it too. And not just between switching apps. It happens while browsing media streaming apps also.
I booted my phone in safe mode and the problem was solved.
I still can't figure out which app is causing this.

Hi!
Sorry if I'm asking something obvious, but I searched here and there on the forums and could not find anything related to my issue.
I just put Floyo 0.20 on my xperia X8 and have been fiddling around with it for a couple of days now. I didn't really check the camera/photo function up until today and I found that when I want to take a photo a "grid" is displayed on the screen.
This "grid" does not appear anywhere else, not even when switching to video recording. Is this something normal (like to help with aligning the pictures horizontally) or is it some kind of a bug?
Again, sorry if I'm asking something obvious, I'm pretty new
Thanks,
Kizsde
Anyone? :S

Ah ok, thanks. That's what I was thinking too, but was not really sure if that's the purpose of the grid.
Strange thing happened. After a recent reboot, the grid disappeared and looks normal now.
I sometimes have this problem too.

After getting the latest youtube update i noticed that there is an image in the middle of my screen. (I think its the screen mirroring image) and it will not go away and is annoying when watching videos
is there a way to get rid of it without having to uninstall the updates?

I think this might be the issue as well, I'm running the latest YouTube app and my screen mirroring icon is the proper location. Is there something preventing you from reinstalling the app? or perhaps clearing the it's cache and seeing if that fixes it.
I'm having this problem too.
It only occurs when using bluetooth speaker or headphones.
The icon is at the correct location when not using bluetooth though.
Any help?
There is currently an issue on all lollipop ROMs pertaining to headsets that do not have microphones. When such a headphone is plugged in it either triggers a continuous loop of Google search prompts or a multitude of random screen touches. If you use headphones or any 3.5mm compliant headphone jack device, you may want to flash this till it is fixed from source.

Sorry but how is the easiest way to flash this zip.
If I try with the defaut recovery from Cyanogen it gives me the E:No signature E:Verification failed errors.
And this recovery does not have the option to disable this check.
If I install another recovery may I loose the auto update feature from Cyanogen?
Thanks!

You can use ES file explorer or winrar on your desktop to extract the file inside of the zip. After which you can use es file explorer to manually copy paste the file to your system partition and then assign appropriate permissions.

I had the issue where plugging the headphones in launched the google voice search, but with this fix the icons on the homescreen get a white square behind them (guessing it's touchscreen issues). Any work around for this?
This is great, thanks!
However, anyone else now having issues with the YouTube app's play/pause buttons and seekbar not disappearing in fullscreen, or is it just me?

This should not happen, as this fixes both the Google voice issue as well as the white box issue. Are you using a headset with a mic or a standard headphone?

May I have the model of the headphones/3.5 mm compliant device you are using. Have you tried flashings newer version of your ROM and manually pushing the file, as I think the is theost likely issue.

This is re-creatable usually through pausing a video and changing the quality (to 720p or above?) and doesn't seem to happen when not using headphones. Apologies for the lack of specifics, it's a bit finicky. Have since flashed two newer nightlies and still present.
EDIT - this can be temporarily fixable by turning the screen off and on again a few times...

Yeah it can be fixed by turning off the screen but it seems to just show up again when you go to watch another video, anyway I am testing a fix and so far it seems to be OK, I will upload it if everything is good

Ah amazing! Thanks again for your hard work
So, anyone tried this or know if it's even necessary in CM12.1?
I must admit I've flashed this fix on the last few nightlies without checking first if the bug is still present as I've seen nothing about it in the CM changelog.
For anyone who cares, this is still necessary with CM12.1...

No, it's not. I used CM12.1 (RR 5.4.5) and a pair of headphones without a microphone and never had this issue.

It doesn't affect ALL headphones, it never has. Still affects my non-microphone Shures that work on stock, after a full wipe and fresh install of CM12.1.
I'm still unsure if this is necessary, I have still not flashed a stock lollipop ftf and have the need to use this on newer cm based firmware's. I shall flash Lollipop and verify whether it is necessary.
after a long wait for lollipop (i mean after release)
a few days ago i created Pre rooted fw with PRF Creator and flashed it without wipe data
before that i had 157 rooted and my bootloader was unlocked and didn't had any TA backups
and now here is my small review
1-the UI and Animations are lovely i really love the new animations new lockscreen is defenetly better than the old one specialy with analog clock!
2-speed is increased (i kept all my data and apps) but it boots up faster,open apps faster,and more importantly the Previous apps stays open for longer time (on kit kat i was able to open 4-5 apps multitask between them now on LP i opened 6-7 apps and multi tasked between them)
3-THE SOUND!!
the hot thing about LP!
the speaker sound is less than KK which is bad very bad!on headphones i tried on stock MH750 and philips citiescape .....on first boot sound was flat..flat as paper!!no basses at all!
but on second boot everything went back to normal!
i didn't use any sound mod on KK it was clear enough for me and now its as good as it was
4-camera real time iso caused lag on it but overall the colors in pics are better now( i used drm hack Bionz is working just ok)
it boots faster now
5-back on Kk it had some delay to wake up but now it wakes up before you even know you pushed it
6-i've included the smart backlight and smart rotation and 4k in my zip they all work ok now i hardly suggest you to install them!
thats all that came to my head right now
thanks for reading

I just got my device back from warranty and noticed the my keyboard is ghosting bad. Other items as well. Download root browser. And open a file that's empty. And I can see it real good. Like any image I leave on device fore 5 sec or so ghosts. And it's anoyying. I'm on 7.0 still partcyborg rom. I know it's nothing on his rom doing this
Not as bad as yours. Yours looks lime a software issue as it's caught in a screen shot. Mine can't be photographed in ss
yes I thought so also that it might've been a bad flash or bad software but reinstalled Oreo and does the same thing on stock keyboard also.
I have the same issue. I've noticed it happens while using search, then opening the requested app. It's as if the launcher doesn't know how to disengage the app when no longer needed. Also, I'm using Microsoft's Launcher, so I think that my be ano th her part of the issue (3rd party launchers). Anyone else notice the same behavior?
I've found that using the dolphin browser is what did it to mine. Uninstalled it and I haven't had the issue since.
