Screen shifting issue - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Sometimes while using my tablet, the screen suddenly "shifts" out of place: http://imgur.com/a/94hr8 Sometimes it also gets "corrupted": http://imgur.com/yErJp.jpg The tablet works normally when this happens, and it responds to touch at the correct position(i.e. touch doesn't change). It doesn't show up on screenshots. I haven't noticed it being "linked" to anything specific, and it's always done it. Turning the screen off and on again returns it to normal. Why does this happen? Is it solveable? I've tried googling around but nothing.
Thank you.
(I posted this same post to Reddit too)

Bump?

maybe you can post more details on your device
which rom? which cwm.....

It is completely stock 3.2, only rooted with a zip I flashed from stock recovery. I'm pretty sure it did that before rooting, though.

It sounds hardware related and nothing you'll be able to resolve. Are you still under warranty? If you are I'd take it in.

bumps arent allowed, and has not passed even a freaking day after your post. take it to a service center.
Try to flash other rom, like Zeus and check if it still happens.
If it still happens, it could be an hardware problem.

he is on stock firmware, the best way for him to fix that is to take it to a service center.
sometimes I have strange issues with the touch screen, too.
It detects the touch, but after 1-2sec it releases the touch while my finger is still there. I found it only on 2.3 roms.
First times I rebooted to fix it, later I realised that just locking(screen off), waiting 2-3 sec and unlocking again, usuallly fixes it. Sometimes it won't work at first but do at the second try.
Is this the issue you have? maybe you can fix by this way too. give it a try

How to test thrill camera LED?

It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda app-developers app
Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

Issues with the XDA app

This morning, my XDA app is acting crazy. When I click on a post, it gives me the options for the post before it, so if I click on my own post to edit it, it gives me the options for the post before mine. Is this happening to anyone else?

Not having that issue. But responding to xda notifications causes the app to FC. Root de la Vega rooted my N3 if that makes any difference. Try re-installing the app.

I'm using the paid version. No problems other than what I posted above. Maybe its not your device that's the problem. Maybe its the xda servers. I'm just guessing.

It's been happening to me as well. And no I don't want to use Tapatalk.
I've noticed that every time something goes wrong the first suggestion is to try something else instead of solving the actual problem. With my video stuttering issues someone suggested to stream videos at 480p instead of 720 or 1080. Yea that's why I got a 700 dollar phone for so I can stream at quality that's been around since 1997.
Back on topic, I've noticed that if you click next to the name of the op of the post you want to quote or reply to it picks the correct one as opposed to the one above it. Still, it's an issue that needs to be resolved.
I'm not bragging, just informing. I am not having any selection problem with this app. I have tried using the spen and my finger, touching anywhere in a post. I even tried along the border between posts and it selected the correct post every time.
I'm sorry you guys are havjng this irritating problem. Does it happen anywhere else? N1 had a screen sensitivity problem with spen that required an outside app to recalibrate the screentouch.

Temp fix: if you tap on the post itself will select the post above making difficult to quote the last post. Now, look at the post and you'll see on the left the user name and on the right the time the post was posted. If you tap on the time will select it right and not the one above it
Edit: just like Techweed said, sorry didn't read your post, I did this couple days ago already.

The last time I went to XDA through an app I used Tapatalk instead of XDA because I already use Tapatalk for all the other forums. I did buy the XDA app to support XDA, I just don't like keeping so many different apps all for forums. I found that the Tapatalk app doesn't crash when I browse on it, if you wanted to try that?
i've noticed that it crashes when you are giving to many inputs i.e. tapping too much. If you avoid this, the app works well.
There is also an issue of tap detection. when i try to reply to someone i have to tap on the post below the one desired. :/ but it doesnt crash the app... so thats a plus right?

Appreciate it. Yeah, I've never quite gotten used to Facebook, still keep forums I've been on for years.... Tapatalk is a really nice way to organize them all. The only thing that drives me nuts is that when you go to download a file off of a forum it opens a browser which kind of disrupts the flow, but I think XDA app did the same thing. That would be a tremendously useful thing for the XDA app to do is manage XDA downloads, but for all I know it does that now, I haven't used the XDA app in awhile. These ATT ROMs are around a gig sometime... Hell to download on a mobile phone just because so many things seem to be able to break the download. And the download managers seem to hiccup sometimes with the site that are primarily used for hosting, don't know why.
I bought the xda premium app a couple years ago to show my support. But it does suck on this phone. Doesn't show pictures corectly. The search function is not very helpful. When I open it if it's been in the the background for a while it won't connect to the server to refresh. I have to close it and open it again. Also when leaving the app the animation lags really bad. I always thought it ironic that the XDA app was so buggy lol
**side note- I don't know the first thing about making apps or how hard they are to debug and make run smoothly on all devices. So I'm not hating. Just throwing it out there...

Not to be a jerk but this should have been posted in Q&A section. But anyhow it sounds lije your proximity sensor may be bad. Open your phone app and press menu button to access settings if you cant figure it out I would just backup all the data with Kies 3 or whatever and do a factory reset

Haven't tried a reset, bbut download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder and am getting readings for 0 and 8cm (no intermediate) as well as time covered.
So not really sure what to do next. Reset might be only way.

Try this:
Go to- Settings

Call
Turn off screen during calls.
There should be a check next to it. Try turning it off & on again.
Be aware things change if you're using bluetooth...
Hope this helps.

That sounds like your case was blocking the proximity sensor on the front of your device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
Yup thats what i discovered. It doesnt directly block it but the presence of the case close to the sensor must be creating some confusing for it.
