Every so often (usually when scrolling between home screens, and ALWAYS on the home screen), the screen has a horizontal line, maybe 200 pixels high, that just bugs out for half a second. I'm wondering if this is a problem with software or hardware so I can decide whether or not to RMA. For reference, I'm on stock and have not updated to 4.2 (I don't want to deal with all of the problems people are having with 4.2).
So, has anybody else experienced this? Thanks.

I've been having this happen to me. I've had my nexus 10 for about a week now. Did you find a solution to this?
That's not the glitch I have. What my problem is that I play Angry Birds and when I touch the screen to activate a bird it takes about 1/2 a second to respond. I keep thinking it's Angry Birds but maybe not. The OP says "glitches" so I think I'm still on topic.

I'm having the same issue. I've only had the n10 for a few days but I'm getting that little screen glitch a lot. Always about 20% up from the bottom of the screen in landscape, and it stays there in portrait so it's on the left or right side. Is everyone getting these? Has it gone away for anyone or have you found a solution?

My game problem was handled by flashing the JOP40D OTA zip. It seems to have handled anything I was noticing.

I have the same exact problem with the same settings although mine will sometimes hit other parts of the screen occasionally. Was also wondering if an RMA is in order or is it just software.
Same here! I truly wonder what cause this..... Should I RMA?

Did anyone RMA
So, I know I'm replying to a very old thread, but I'm having the same issue and we wondering if anyone had RMA'd their nexus? Mine's out if warranty in a month and want to return it if this is potentially a hardware issue.
Hello,
I picked up my GS4 about a week ago but haven't really used it in direct sunlight until today. I was outside, and the sun was shining brightly on the screen. Home screen was fine, and darker images were ok, but if I were to go to an app with a primarily white background, or open up something which used the keyboard (texting) the screen would flicker pretty noticeably. Brightness is all the way up, and auto tone was off.
Has anyone else seen this?
yup this is normal esp when using the keyboard.
Im not sure if it will be fixed.

I guess my question is, is this a hardware issue with many GS4's or a minority. I came across a thread on the Tmobile GS4 forum where people were experiencing it, but it seems not everyone is.

Its a hardware thing, but also its only in touchwiz so a developer might be able to turn it off so to speak.
It adjusts the color and tone no matter what to save the display from overheating and or burning in...
Does it a lot and I notice it cause im weird about those kinds of things.
If you use CM 10.1 or AOKP its gone.
ive made some progress with the RGB light meter on this; hoping a friend can write up some code so we can test out a 'smoothed out' transition and sampling rate and one that is sped up, averaged faster, but will take up more CPU and RAM and battery but more accurate.
here is another thread regarding it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284726
Maybe if someone who is using CM10 or AOKP could test it to see if it is a software issues and not a hardware issue?
edit: slade and jet replied while I was writing this...thanks for the info. looks like it is touchwiz related.
edit2: just went out in the sun again to test a lot of different options in the display settings (which none worked) but is seems it is only happening when the keyboard is enabled. I am using swiftkey.
yeah TW and that sensor communicate; i believe the sensor itself probably works better ALONE, but TW changes it and throttles it for either battery or screen safety.
It is always dependent on what is being pulled up on the screen, though it can be mitigated quite a bit if you disable all power saving and screen auto features, and leave brightness under 80% or so.
yea anything under 80% in direct sun is basically black. all power saving and screen auto modes were disabled. i covered up all of the sensors too and it still flickered....

Not just a sensor thing per-say.
It's hard to explain, they most likely did it because they didn't want the amoled to burn in.
Its the same reason why the brightness goes up another 34% or so on auto above the max brightness. Only uses it when needed to save the screen and battery.
Does it on youtube too btw, bring up a video on wide screen then tap it and you'll see the drastic color shift
I noticed this thing when I got my phone also. I thought I was just imagining it but I guess it's an actual problem

Seriously its about power handling/battery saving and white balance, but its noticeable, and annoying.

adaptive display off
reading mode off
brightness manual
smart screen off
brightness level set to 90% or so
and my screen auto dimm for no reason playing PVZ or any other game is very annoying to the point of stop playing
I did some reading on att note 3 forums and they said this is implemented on the Kernel itself so if we can get full unlock perhaps we can use a custom kerlel to fix this BIG PROBLEM

Ahh, gotcha.
I've never experienced any problems with the screen dimming when I'm using it (even playing games). But I like to use Smart Stay (works great for me) and I like my brightness at 100% all the time, so it's a little different scenario, I guess.

I've seen it and been looking for where to turn it off. Was going to post about it, so glad you did. It's very annoying and send to happen at odd times in pretty much any app.
Now here's another one for you. Have you noticed when you pick up your phone that it will vibrate twice? I can't tell what I'd doing it, so it may be a system thing.

Yea if in the next update it don't get a fix Samsung will not like me very much
Like how LG probably hates me every chance I get I talk **** especially about their LowGrade ****uition
Android product ...LG is byfar the worst android creators out there and should just stick
To making ****ty appliance or better yet just stay out of the electronic world all 2gthr IMO...
But back to the subject at hand it seems its when a lot of processes are going that it dims (CRASHES)
Try keeping an auto task killer app running to kill unwanted tasks as they pop up...
It works but not for too long. it would seem the 2G of RAM is not enough for the quadcore
maybe 3G would have worked better.
Solution
Kinda late with an answer but I figured out why my note 4 was doing that out of the bloom. Turns out I had an option checked for my screen brightness to adjust based on the image that was on my display. Just go to Settings, Display, then uncheck the Auto Adjust Screen Tone. That should fix it. ☺
Hi lovely guys of the Note 3 forum!!
I've had my Note 3 for some time now and I was wondering if my screen is defect since it does act a little weird. I hope you can clarify this for me
Whenever I put my screen on low brightness, the screen tend to leave a trail of purple color behind whenever I scroll/move something. It'd be very nice if anyone with a Note 3 could test this for me, if u are having the same problem or if it's just me
A good way to test this, is to set brightness to 0% and then pull the notificationcenter down and try to swipe the notifications away slowly and look closely, if u can find some purple trail leaving behind the swiping object. To see this clearly, you can download the app Lux and set the brightness to sub-zero. Try -50% and it should be very easy to see. Would mean a ton to me if you could report back. I need to return my device asap if it's defect.
Thank you very much!! <3
EDIT: Here is a video of the problem!

I can't see this at zero brightness. I even installed lux and set it to subzero, and I still can't see it. I'm using an SM-900T.
I think I know what you are talking about. I also believe my smartphone has same problem. As an example if you download BBC News application,then scroll down to end of page and pull further you will see this tail of light appear. It also does this in the settings page when you scrol up or down but you have to get to bottom or top of page and pull further

Not sure if that was sarcasm... BEcause I hope it was.
That's the replacement for the 'bounce at end of page' that Apple successfully sued Samsung over. It now glows.
exactly the same problem with mine. fast moving UI elements leave a purple trail behind them.
could it be that some batches of screen are affected and some are not? it doesn't bother me too much though.

Some have big problems with the touch, and everybody else has normal use touchscreen issue, the guys that tell you that they don't have the TS Issue is not using the phone enough.

I've been on the stock kitkat ever since it was released and don't have any issue related to touchscreen. The previous build (.681) did have issues like overheating, camera app freeze / lag etc. but I didn't see anyone here complaining about the touchscreen. Maybe I missed if anyone did, but would you kindly elaborate as to what issues exactly do you have? I would like to test it on mine.
Anyway, after a day's use on the latest .757 build, my Z1 seems to work as it should with no noticeable issues so far. No sound bug, camera app works fine (no issue with the shutter key anymore), no overheating or mediaserver issue. Battery seems to be better than on jellybean for me. Also attached a couple of screenshots below showing no unusual battery drain on standby (which many are complaining) of 7 hrs with 1 hr screen on time (with 85% battery left for use).
Wow, I seriously hope the RAM consumption has been fixed. The Z1 is the worse multitasking phone I've come across in flagships, just too much of RAM usage and not enough to go around to keep enough stuff in memory. Now to wait for [NUT] to release the rooted version for the C902.

yes, the touchscreen issues is rare and the Z1 works at 90% without any problem
I had this touchscreen issue only once. It didnt recognize the input and when it did, they were not accurate. But like I said it only appeared once. The only things that are annoying are the RAM usage and the camera app lag..I hope that they are fixed in this update
If you use 'pattern unlock' or 'swipe keyboard' you will have come across the touchsceen issue.
Works most of the time but there is defo issues there!
