Screen flicker during PDF reading - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Loving the new galaxy tab but one small issue I have is when I read PDF sometimes the screen does a quick flicker. I read my PDF landscape so not noticed it if in portrait mode. Only the top 2 lines out of 10 lines do a quick flicker for maybe a quarter of a second then does not do it for maybe 10 minutes. Only noticed during PDF reading. I use the stock ThinkOffice reader.
I have official 2.3 UK GSM rom. Wondered if the tab may have a fault.
Anyone else seen that happen?

Yep, I have that as well.
Has anyone figured this one out or are we the only 4 people on the planet having this issue.
The white box blocks out the top of the calendar and makes it impossible to see the dates
I have the same issue.

I just use the agenda view and it goes away
Here's the fix I've seen mentioned multiple times, involves changing a png to a transparent image:

[Q] Whats wrong with my phone?

Here are the problems ive been facing after upgrading my phones os from 2.1 to 2.2 through ODIN.
1. Glitch in menu scrolling (rough..gets stuck and isint smooth like on 2.1 eclair)
2. Samsung Keyboard capslock double click doesnt make it permanently capital but rather gets it back to typing small letters anew.
3. Home screen doesnt auto-rotate.
4. Alphabets on the right side of contacts, spread horizontally for ease of finding contacts, disappear once i try scrolling on it through my finger.
5. Cant change shortcuts from the default launcher whereas could do so in 2.1 (Eclair)
6. Default Email application doesnt load emails properly. Also when i click on an email to read it and it opens, i try zooming in through pinch technology but it is not at all smooth. Cant scroll emails side by side to read the whole email properly.
Have you guys been facing such similar problems? Please tell me how do i get rid of this? I had contacted a guy from youtube who made videos on stufflike rooting, lagfixing phones and he helped me out thoroughly till this point where my phone really started giving me problems. He doesnt even reply properly to me now. Need you guys to help me out as soon as you can. Any suggestion and advice will be appreciated
is it a costume rom?

Ahh just downloaded xda and checked your reply. Well, it wasn't. It was just a rooted samsung galaxy s before but now my computed engineer actually tweaked with it and got a dell firmware in my sgs lol. It doesn't lag much now but I have to keep rebooting it..because of kernal upload mode randomely making my phones screen go black. I think I probably am waiting for sgs3 to release.

[Q] No Browser Page Back After GB

Anyone else notice that after the GB update you've seemed to have lost the 'back' function for the stock browser?
If you're using the stock browser and try to cycle back through pages by hitting the back arrow key, it now takes you to your home screen - don't seem to be able to cycle back through pages.
EDIT: Only seems to occur in certain sites.
have you tried this with dolphin browser or any other browser?
Haven't installed any other browser. I fooled around a bit after starting this thread and quickly realized that for me, the page back not working was only really occurring while I was browsing here at xda on the web (I've since DL'd the app).
All other pages that I've bookmarked and frequently browse seemed to back up just fine. I assumed it was a function of how this and maybe other forums handled moving within a thread that the stock browser wasn't picking up on - kind of like different pages within a thread look like the same page.
Didn't give it any additional though until today when I noticed someone had reported the same problem in one of the ROM development threads.
For me, it's sort of become a non-issue.
Yes, I've noticed it on the Gingervolt Rom. Are you running stock Gingerbread (rooted or unrooted) or Gingervolt?
Stock unrooted GB. Never rooted the phone.

I'm also having the same problem on Gingervolt. It only happens on certain sites though.
Does the same thing on Dolphin HD.

Mine just does it randomly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I have yet to find a rhyme or reason to it.

Just a heads up when using Dolphin, read this:

Yeah but it says that the latest version doesn't forward links or anything anymore.

I have this issue as well, closing and reopening the browser is a temporary fix.

Duplicate Chrome tabs being launched from search results

If I do a search from the search bar on the homescreen, and then click on a link in the results, it always launches duplicate tabs in Chrome resulting in the same page being loaded twice simultaneously on 2 different tabs.
If I search from within Chrome in the address bar , its fine.
I can't seem to figure out why. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a solution ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Noticed this as well. I rooted mine, so thought maybe that screwed it up.
I have the same issue and I haven't rooted or modded at all.

same issue here, thought it was just me
I was suffering from the same problem but member 'janedoesmith' has solved it! The solution is this:
When chrome opens up after clicking on a search result from the search bar, you need to click on the blank space surrounding the link to the website. If you click on the actual link, it'll create duplicate tabs.
Here's a link to my original question so that you can give 'janedoesmith' the appropriate thanks.

Yep, this problem annoys me as well.
I expect Google to release a patch soon.

Happening for me recently too.
Hopefully a patch will fix it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer click the white space or descriptions on search results? The workaround no longer works and you can only click the title and tabs still open twice. Wtf Google?
It looks like Google has finally fixed this issue, although descriptions are still not clickable.

[Q] Screen going black when adverts play

Hi Guys,
I'm currently running CM10.2-20130827 and experiencing some odd behavior in some apps.
Namely when using apps that have in streaming adverts built in the screen goes black when the adverts appear, I can circumvent this somewhat by putting my finger on the screen and moving it about, but if I then remove my finger it goes black again. I think it must be something to do with how the adverts are overlaid on the screen.
I am seeing this behavior in the following apps
Bad Roads
Tapiture
The Chive
to name a few, I basically see it in any app that has streaming adverts.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for it, or does it need to be escalated to the CM crew.
Quick search would have gottin you the answer of this is a know problem with cm10.2 graphical glitchs in browser and apps that have advertisements. Use adaway to remove adds and it will be greatly reduced
