[Q] TX's screen flickering when changing orientation - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Good evening,
I just got a question. Ive had my TX for a good full month now and Id Just realized that when Im on youtube (portrait mode) switching to full screen (landscape mode) the screen flickers from blue to white or white to blue for just a split second. Ive tried switching orientation on websites and such and it seems fine, just youtube.
So im just wondering is this a software issue, or a hardware issue? or how can i fix this? Just to be clear whether I should take it back to the shop or not.
Thanks in advance.

Does this too on my T. I think it's YouTube app and not phone, otherwise it would happen other times when switching orientation.

Happens the same with mine.

Line on Screen sometimes

I have a problem with my Tilts screen, on some programs I can see a line running across the screen right where the bottom bar for the softkeys is located. When I am using the camera it appears to be green, and when i open up the tab for the options it is white, its not that visible to most people but I can clearly see it, and it and it is extremely annoying I will take some pictures of it later, just wanted to know if anyone has the same problem
looks a hardware fault to me...is it happening on landscape and portrait mode?
I have problem with horizontal line on the screen only in camera (3Mpix) mode. This line apper on the taken foto. I thin it must be camera ... I hope this will be fixed soon...
I send mine back for repair, because of the horizontal and vertical lines in camera mode.

it happens on both, the problem kinda reminds me of those old crt monitors where if you had the same thing on the screen too long it would burn in. the line is on the left side of the screen and looks exactly like the shiny part of the left softkey is.

Was it repaird or did you get a new one ? I now that it's diffrent in every country but how long were you left without phone ?
I'm still in the waiting, the TNT guy just picked it up. They promised me it will take 10 days max. This includes the time for sending it back to me.
So hopefully i'll get it back before 15 dec. I think they will replace my cameralens, since there is a white dead pixel on it. But who knows...
Im having the same problem.
I just received my MDA Vario III yesterday.
I installed the hardSPL and flashed with dutty's latest rom.
I also took a contacts pic of my dad, hehe.
But today, I started the camera and noticed a red line running across the cam.
So I took the picture, and checked the pic. It seemed the red line was taken with the picture. This does mean there's some hardware problem. Also, I found another topic on the internet with more people complaining about it:
Click!
I just called T-Mobile and they wouldnt help me cause the contract's on my dad's name. (A few years back when I wasn't 18 yet)
Anybody else who has experienced this problem?
i just took a pic of my monitor in low light conditions - i have a totally black screen with only the taskbar visible (light gray) i found that taking a picture in landscape mode, the night mode or some **** is causing all pixels along that line to darken (??) see this link for an example (3mp @ fine)
note: this happens in landscape mode probably because the orientation of the line of pixels is in line with the pixels of the camera (cant seem to reproduce it when the device is upright [ie the taskbar spans the 240, not the 320]) - this could either be the utterly _crap_ nightmode filter software or could be due to the ccd itself - i dont really know enough about camera technology to determine which is the cause (you think maybe the crap nightmode filter determines the gamma of horizontal lines based only on the pixels in that line? that would explain this effect and if so thats just plain ****)
My Kaiser has new camera. It took only one day to repair it. I've heard that camera in Kaiser is made by Samsung ... (it was mentioned in service report)
Now it's all ok. I wonder how long ...

Green vertical line when switching off the display

Hello everybody, I have the following "visual effect". It happens roughly 50% of the times the display switches off. It doesn't matter if it is by it self, by the power button or by a software button. In the very moment when the display switches off, a greenish dot in the center of the display flicks for a split second, along with a same color vertical line trough the whole screen. Obviously it is not supposed to be this way Beside this issue, there is no other problems with the display or the phone( for now). What do you think about this? Thanks in advance
Sounds like a screen off CRT effect, check you tube to see if that is your problem
Isn't the CRT effect a horizontal white line ending up in a dot?
I genuinely think the OP's screen may be defective...

do a lcd test and check if all pixels are working ok
Unfortunately it is not a CRT effect, although it looks a bit like it. The difference is, that the line and the dot( little spot) appear simultaneously for a fraction of a second. In a daylight it is hard to see it, even more it happens just 50% of the times, but not every other time. Its somewhat random.
The *#0*# test do not show much. No dead pixels. On blue you cant see anything, on green and red I think I see a little bit darker spot in the center of the screen( where the dot/spot appears), but there are such darker sports and elsewhere on the screen.
BTW, I noticed recently, that when the screens dims a bit shortly before switching off, this dimming happens not so smooth. How should I say it... it happens on a several steps, although the whole thing is done in less then a second, it is not so fluid. Is it supposed to be this way?
Thanks for your help guys
have u tried flashing a different rom stock
I am on the latest German stock 4.0.4, tried several others, including 2.3.6. .Currently with Hydra kernel. No difference whatsoever. I think the auto-brightness doesnt work so good. When set on fixed value it dims more fluidly.
if u on stock rom and not rooted then take it to a service center

skyscanner app makes screen flicker

Can anybody suggest what is going on here?
I have found that if I install the Skyscanner flight app (which is very good for flight searches), then the screen starts to flicker and jitter. Once the flickering starts, then it happens everywhere, and only stops after a full reboot (it seems that a software reboot isn't enough to clear it).
The flickering starts as slight jittering, often jumping to the right a little - it's as though the screen loses sync. Then, there is colour flicker, and sometimes coloured pixels are left behind at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried this on two different stock ROM Droid 4s, and both exhibit the behaviour.
Does anybody know what's going on, and if there is a fix/solution?
I noticed this after opening snap chat once, running cm 10.2
Reboot was all that worked here but it has stopped since an update to the app came out. Not sure if that is really what did it though.

White band on screen plus glitches

Hi, so there's a white band that suddenly appeared on the screen a couple of weeks ago about 2 inches thick and is, let's say, translucent ie a picture can still be seen beneath. It can also be seen faintly when the tablet is rebooting. Can it be a cabling issue in the screen or a problem with the screen itself or hopefully a software issue (not likely)? Thanks
There's also a glitch that appear on landscape and disappears when switching to portrait mode and vice versa on apps. Which does not appear when a screenshot is taken.
I have attached a couple of pics.. I'm guessing that it's probably a hardware issue but if there's an alternative to changing the screen, I would be glad lol.
Looks like a GPU fault to me. It may be the cabling I suppose but more likely the hardware underneath unfortunately.

The Hardest Problem: Home screen glitch-only

Hey guys!
So I'll put a video of my cellphone and how the problem looks like right below.
Last week I installed a few apps from Play Store for studying and after a while the phone screen started to behave with a glitch: It started to flash some vertical lines and sometimes parts of the screen are placed in other places. If I touch the screen where an icon used to be but due to the glitch it is in another place of the screen the app opens normally. Like this glitch is more about an illusion. Sometimes the whole screen can go black or white and then it turns off. Sometimes the colour scheme is inverted. (In the video you can see itbetter)
When I try to turn on the screen again by pushing the Power Button the screen can blink quickly so I can't unlock it.
I saw a lot of things on internet but actually nothing really helped me. I suspected that it was a kind of virus but I changed the ROM 3 times (flashing Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 4.4 KitKat) and the problem still haunts me. When I'm setting the cellphone up the screen is OK and everytime I can open an app this glitch stops. (As you can see in the video) But when I go to the home screen this glitch starts immediatly.
I've heard that it has to do with the battery or it is a hardware problem. But I don't know why this problem only happens in the home screen. On fastboot screen the screen is OK too.
I'm trying this forum really hoping that someone appears with the solution. Thank you so much!
