Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.

So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, the lines appear without charging.

Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.

Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.

A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Screen tearing
Different from the backlight flicker, known issue, please vote :good:
I have this as well well as screen moving issue I'm going to buy a 16 gb version and send this back for refund. Hope they will do that I really don't need two Nexus 7 tablets

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?
but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%

I would love a stock ROM without any customizations based on the latest sources dropped in AOSP, would anyone be kind enough to build me one? I'm sure I'm not the only one to want this. I don't got the kind of net or computer to compile myself (the source download itself is 6GB which is a bit difficult for me at the moment).
If you're rooted I think this is what you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905961

I haven't look for just a stock build of that, but haven't seen one anywhere. The above link is just for drivers/binarys and isn't a full ROM.
Not sure but I think that is the major difference between the two?

This... it is only the new drivers.
Sent From My Toro+ via White Tapatalk
Be wary though, I think flashing the drivers mixes things up behind the scenes, for example I'm always running bug less beast for stability and I after I flashed the drivers everything seemed fine, till I went to the hospital and well they got free WiFi which would always connect properly, u just have to open a webpage to accept terms, conditions and then u can use their WiFi, well the other day (still on bugless beast) I tried to connect it would not obtain IP address what so ever so I couldn't even get to the splash screen to accept conditions and activate the WiFi, so I thought hmm I been here before plenty of times using my n7 with the mentioned ROM and had no issues with their WiFi then I started to think it was them and WiFi must be screwed up at the moment, and well that never changed my phone was fine so I decided f-it reflash the ROM on my n7 and boom that was the fix, anyways go download the latest bugless beast he updated to latest jro03r and is completely stock aosp with a nice reboot menu and camera/lock screen shortcut are included as well

Hi,
Anyone knows if this new drivers solve the black line problems that appears for less than a second using soft or white backgrounds like tapatalk and chrome?
Thank you.

Ok thx,
We'll be waiting for the next update from Google to solve this little problem.
I built the android-4.1.1_r6 branch a few hours ago, and have it running now. It has nothing
installed and is really useless as-is, I will upload it if you really want it.
EDIT:
I just went ahead and uploaded it
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yivy1dh53dhnco
flash system.img, boot.img with fastboot
boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset
install Nexus7-Binary-Update-JRO03R.zip
or it wont work.
install gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip if you want
any Google services.
I also uploaded ClockworkMod touch 6.0.1.4 for grouper

Hi,i have this issue with my N7, whenever i swipe left on my home screen screen goes right for 3-5 times then it goes left again. Same with opposite movement. This happens on all custom roms cm10.1, pa 2.99, stock, smoothrom.

Have you tried a different launcher? Or do they all do that?

Same problem with my n7 pure stock and default launcher.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Its a software problem. A launcher won't do much if anything. There is a rumoured 4.2.2 update being pushed in the U.S. fingers crossed it will fix the. Problem. You can star the issue on Google but I'm sure I saw a thread opened for it already with looooooads of complaints...so Google is aware of it.

Apex !
Hi everyone,
It's the famous bounce back issue that kills everybody's touch experience. There is a google issue thread about it. I Tried several launchers but only Apex Launcher Fixed it.
Install Apex Launcher and get relax. I hope they fix it with 4.2.2
Well guys, it seems like 4.2.2 has fixed the swiping bounceback issue for me. I've been plagued by it in the past but ever since flashing the OTA this morning I can't replicate a single instance of it no matter how hard I try.
Thanks Google!

Unfortunately, 4.2.2 did not fix it for me, I can still reproduce it with the launcher, settings pull down and browser and see it with "Pointer Location" turned on in the developer options. It still makes an L gesture at the end of quick swipes.

Here's the issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39892
And, here's the change of interest in 4.2.2. I don't have the update yet, so can't confirm if it fixes both the homescreen swiping and the notification pull-down bounceback...

Reduce false swipe-closed gestures in status bar panels.
VelocityTracker is a powerful tool---too powerful, in this
case, because many devices (I'm looking at you, Nexus 7)
have touchscreens that report total garbage on takeoff and
landing.
PanelView now uses its own incredibly crude velocity tracker
called FlingTracker, which implements a short sliding window
of the last 8 motion events (7 intervals) over which touch
velocity is averaged. There's also a little bias toward more
recent touch events so that the overall velocity of small
circular gestures will tend to favor the exit tangent.
The end result is a primitive low-pass filter on touch
velocity that should help us avoid situations where one (or
even two!) stray MotionEvents at the end of a gesture won't
invalidate the overall thrust.
Since there wasn't a thread made in the development forums I figured I'd start one here. Any success installing AOKP any bugs? Lets discuss it here.

I'm on it. No issues so far, as there aren't many custom features yet.
Any sources for the AOKP nexus 5 edition?
I'm using my phone for gps to get home so I'm a bit scared to flash it. As soon as Im home I'm gonna take this baby for a spin. Definitely an awesome Christmas present.

Feel nice to finally be able to run AOKP on hammerhead. Too bad its soo skinny for now. Guess I'll head back to cataclysm for now and wait for devs to fill the ROM with the goodies.
Ran into an issue of not being able to get root access. Anyone else able to reproduce?

Can anyone with a chromecast confirm that when you try to cast from Google play movies app its causes a soft reboot? All other apps work fine, not sure if its ROM related or not. So far its running great.

Hopefully it gets addressed soon. Had to use my laptop to cast it and its kinda inconvenient lol. Otherwise I'm loving aokp as usual.

Big fan of AOKP ... I ran this rom on my N5 for about 12 hours without any issues. I did not try chromecast though so I can't speak to that issue as others have brought up.
I jumped back to beanstalk for now, but will likely come back to AOKP when more bells are added.
you have to try dirty unicorns, its tottallyyyyy awesoommmmeeee!!

I asked this q in the at&t forum but I didn't get any responses and I doubt it has anything do with at&t so I'll ask again here:
The issue is that sometimes turning the phone to landscape orientation causes the viewscreen to black out. Switch back to portrait and it comes back. I can take a picture, I just can't see what I'm taking a picture of.
I have the CM11 camera, CameraZoom, and ProCapture. I think this issue is happening in all of them but I'll have to experiment more if someone thinks it is an app issue. This is frustrating because it is not consistently reproducible - it happens when I'm out somewhere trying to catch a picture! I haven't been able to reproduce it in my kitchen.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Sent from my GT-p511x
Does it only happen on the current rom that you're on, or does it happen on others aswell?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The only two I've used are CM11 and Mokee and I'm pretty sure it's been on both. As I said, I haven't been able to reproduce it. It's only happened when I've been trying to capture a photo and I think only outside. However, it's not just bright outdoor light (my original thought but not reproducible). I'm clueless and was just hoping someone had an idea.
Sent from my GT-p511x
Honestly, I'd probably blame it on AOSP roms (assuming mokee is AOSP too). My roommate has had tons of issues with AOSP roms on his one, while I haven't really suffered very many on mine, but I've stuck to all sense based roms since owning this phone.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'll try a sense based ROM for a while and see what happens.

Boy, not liking sense based ROM. Had to go back to CM11. Wondering now about various camera apps. Anyone have really good experience to recommend and app? What about Google photosphere?
