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?

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.

I've been playing around with the nexus 7 for around two days now and noticed huge amounts of lag everywhere. From the menus to browsing and even gaming.
I tried Modern Combat 3 and it just stutters so bad and the frame rate drops are huge, even my galaxy s2 performed better than this.
I bought the new Batman game yesterday and that was exactly the same. In game play it lags and stutters too much to be even playable.
I have installed the latest update and even did a factory reset and it has made no difference. The thing is I watched someone playing Modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7 on YouTube and it was flawless, is there something wrong with
my unit or has the update done something?
P.S I tried Dead Trigger, Puddle THD, Dark Meadow and all are the same

I get lag on Sonic Episode 2 THD but nothing else, I thought this game was optimised for tegra 3?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
No lag at all on anygames. Especially tegra3 optiMized ones.
One thing I noticed though. I noticed yesterday it seemed all My games had a brief pause every few seconds. I was like wtf is going on, wasn't like that before. I started thinking something happened from me unlocking and rooting. So I look through my apps to see what could be causing it. Low and behold the force rotation app I had. I had it set to force auto rotation. So I changed it to normal auto rotation. It solved the issue. The forced auto rotation was causing issues with my games. Putting it back on normal auto rotation put everything back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced crashing lately on this phone? Im using the APEX launcher, but occasionally the screen will just drop to black (backlit) and not respond to any key presses, except vibrate on a key hold. 20 seconds later after all key presses screens back on responding to the key mashes.
Ive also seen a few restarts lately, usually using google maps. Next time it happens I might see if I can catch the logs.

Probably some apps that look for your location, to share or for better service, like weather, google, etc...
Check the settings.
I have some crashes with some widgets. Clear your home screen from every non stock widget and make the test.
Still trying to figure out how to use any widget without entire phone crashes.

From both of your reason, i can see maybe its from the phone gets overheated...it is possible as same like my previous phone, while using maps, i already noticed the back case seems soo hot then it just restarted...as you already know O4X having the heat issue...
Also it can be from that your system is too overloaded and cant find anymore free room to free up the memory...and overheated at tje same time....
Its just my opinion

Did you noted that are anwering a post from October 2012?
Thread closed to avoid more bumps...
If this has been posted already, my apologies! i've been reading in the forums for months now and haven't seen it posted yet unless it came and went down the list faster then i could see it.
so the main issue seems to be, after taking a few pictures over time the camera app just freezes with the LED on like a flashlight and won't take another picture. until i found this google code submission
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=40996
i've always had to reboot my phone just to take pics again. it's been embarassing when in public with friends i've bragged to about this phone... its a good laugh thats for sure, but not what i expect out of this phone. has any of you experienced this? do you guys on custom roms have this issue? is this a google code issue only or are all roms experiencing this issue? i haven't rooted yet as i always wanted to take updates automatically and stay up to date, but with this camera issue i'm in the process of rooting right this minute but want to make sure its worth my hassle.
discuss.
I've had this issue as well. It only seems to affect the stock app though as other camera apps continue to function. A reboot is the only way is been able to fix this bug.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It happened to me for the first time on New Year's Eve but happened three times. The app reset when I either closed it from the recent apps list or switched to video camera and then back to regular camera. Not sure what caused it and hasn't happened since.

So what you're trying to say is whenever you try to repetitively take photo, camera freezes with led light on? Never happened to me. Then again, I barely use my camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've had this happen as well, although I don't think I needed to reboot, just closed the app and it stopped. But I've had this happen several times, not recently though. I'm very disappointed with the camera on this thing, it seems to take lack luster photos and the app is very fritzy and the rotation animation awful, as well as this occasional glitch.
It's a bug and has been reported. You can star it here:

that's exactly what I'm saying. I take a lot of pics especially when we go out. it does it all the time... it just freezes with the led stuck in. I can hit home but when I reopen it and take a pic it gets stuck in again. I just read I can switch to video and back and it should work, but that's annoying. my girlfriends gnex just works and she always laughs at me when it happens.
question, does this happen on anyone's rooted nexus with custom rom?

Happens to me all the time. The camera app on here is pretty disappointing. I don't get it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I just got it to produce that problem and I see what you mean by annoying. One easy solution that I heard people using is using a third party camera app. Try a free camera app and tell us how it goes. Tried to reproduce the problem with camera zoom fx and couldn't do it. Also I believe this is a problem with terrible auto focus of nexus 4. Because when this happens the focus ring looks like as if it's still trying to focus into a object. Hopefully this gets fixed with software update. Cheers
BTW, using a rooted stock nexus 4 with Franco kernel and camera mod that'll increase the quality of the image and video.

Me too and I've now "Starred" the bug.
Hopefully everyone here has too so it gets noticed by Google.
Same issue. Experienced it for the first time on New Year's Eve. Both my Nexus 4 and my wife's had the same thing happen. Only happened to mine once. Happened to hers about 3 or 4 times.
Used the camera the most on New Year's compared to any other time so that's possibly why I never experienced it until then.
Happened twice when asking strangers to take pics of us too, which was extremely annoying and embarrassing.
The LED flash stays on and you can't take any pics. Closing the app and swiping it from recents and reopening does nothing. The same thing will happen on the next try. Need to reboot the phone. It's the only fix.
My phone did this on new years eve too.

Happened the same to me more then once. I don't use the camera that much but when I really need it doesn't work.
This is embarrassing when everyone around you is taking pics with their iPhone.
Had numerous android phones before and never had one 100% reliable.

BTW while messing around just now, I got it to freeze , but noticed it was out if focus , so I moved it around and it eventually took!

Try the Camera Zoom FX app. When I say amazing control, I mean AMAZING control of the camera. ISO, tap to focus and shoot, programmable hardware buttons for shutter/gallery etc...
The ability to control ISO means you can get rid of noise for stills/landscapes in almost any light. It works great. Furthermore, the pictures appear to be better from this app. When I started the app, I played around with it and thought "hey this is great, I have control over each shot, but the quality of the picture in auto mode appears the same as stock." Then I found in somewhat hidden "All Settings" menu a SAVE menu which was defaulted to 85% for jpeg output. I put it on 100% output and the pics look very good if not better than stock. The hardware is decent in this thing so the pics should be good. Take a look at the app and try it out for a few minutes to test it.
Disclosure: I have NO financial or personal interest in the company or developer of this app. But I do have a personal interest in photography.

Hey every now and then when using my one with the stock keyboard i notice lines flicker at the bottom of the screen, but when i look at the bottom of the screen i never see them. I thought i had bad eyes so forgot about it. Then my friend bought a htc one as well and within 2 days said he was noticing the same thing while using his keyboard. i am on ARHD 8.0 but have had this problem from day 1 even on stock rom. has anybody else noticed the strange lines.
