Display flickers after updating to android 4.2.2 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, just a question to find others who are experiencing the same problem.
After updating (tried almost everything) to 4.2.2 i am having problems with my display. It is flickering. Especially in grey areas, but it is there on the the complete display. On every 4.2.2 rom this will appear eventually.
I've tried the stock rom, CM roms, FreeXperia roms, some others custom roms like RomAur 7.2, tried different kernels.
It's like the refresh rate is too low. like 30 or 40 fps. Or the refresh rate is not in sync with the screen updates. It is not there all the time and sometimes it is less visible. But it is there for sure.
Other people have the same issue??

me too ....:crying:

I have the same. Noticed it today for the first time.
When I turn off the backlight is seems to stop, so I think it's more the lighting than the screen.
I hope it's a software issue and it gets fixed soon!

it is software if u hadn't it on 4.1.2 so try to flash stock kernel and rom again
>> Wipe everything and then flash :good:

+1 :good:

This is the first thing I noticed after installing 4.2.2. Currently I have a stock non-rooted rom.
I believe the problem is related to the background illumination, because when putting my finger onto the light-sensor, I can see how the screen darkens where the flicking is strongly visible. I looks like the illumination-level is not adjusted smoothly but rather coarse steps. Quite annoying...

Thnx for this answer, ofcourse. I tried this several times. Now, i started completely from the beginning (ALL steps as written @ RomAur v7.2 rom) and the flickering was there again. I've changed some stuff inside dev options and it seems gone. Really don't know what i did. Disabled 2d gpu, enabled hw layer, disabled this again, enabled 2d gpu etc etc etc....it seems gone...really weird..i will keep this thread open for others and if something changes, i will write it here ofcourse!:good:

i have it when i use facebook i dont know if this was also on the leaked 4.2.2 but the official one has this issue meanwhile the battery issue. sony is sleeping maybe

Current settings dev options(flickering seems "as gone as possible):
-usb-debugging on
-verify apps over usb on
-show hardware layers updates on
-force gpu rendering on
-force 4x msaa on
the rest is off
i am using RomAur v7.2 with the DooMKernel v9
Performance control settings:
-max 1620 MHz (set on boot)
-min 192 MHz (set on boot)
-Gov interactive (set on boot)
-IO deadline (set on boot)
-sd read ahead 256 kb (set on boot)
-vm settings (set on boot)
maybe this will help other people as well?? please, let me know

I just got it flickering too. For now it only happened in the movies app or when playing a video from Facebook for example. Only the lower side of te screen flickers. Also, when pushing on the screen the flickering stops for a while!

Any workarounds for this? I'm facing the same problem too. It's annoying.

I had the same issue a few days ago and it has seemed to go away after what I did, not saying it will not come back.
1.) Made a nandroid backup of my system, using ExistenZ v4 rom as my rom
2.) Flashed my country specific FTF, using flashtool, rom downloaded from Sony Update Service. I went all the way back to .434
3.) Rooted and then added recovery to my stock rom
4.) Flashed the .423 kernel only in flashtool
5.) Booted into CWM and restored my backup of my original rom
6.) Booted back into rom to make sure everything came back
7.) Flashed baseband from my country specific FTF
I have not seen any flickering for about 2-3 days now. Hoping it will stay way this time.

Actually I did not OC at all, I am still at the original 245-604Mhz with ONDEMAND Governor
And how about the font ? I hear from madteam some language chines, japan, vietnamese show [], i worried about it
I am going to flashing this ROM, but now still not, because read this and read problem with front!
AFAIK....there is no bug in reboot situation and i believe no bug fix from squad...i flashed CyanMobile just to check wether i got a reboot problem with so many others,but no...i didnt had it..
before i flashed CyanMobile,i flash stock rom via odin to clean dalvikbyte code error(Squadzone said:-because the write and read on the system partition and the sdcard is weaker because of flashing again and again continuosly without refreshment through ODIN)...in this case i choose XWKTN,then flash CWM...then i flash CyanMobile with full wipe before not after...then flash bluetooth update,just mount system 1st..
And i got no single reboot itself,and just for info...i didnt apply a single tweak not even amarulz......peace
Use a Rom with less bugs. There are enough to choose off.

Thats destany. You have to choose:
more customizable and more bugs
or better
less customizable and therefore almost no bugs.
My choice would be less customizable and almost no bugs.

yes,after running a couple of roms..better do refreshment by odin and just to make sure your system is clean,do a hard reset...dial *2767*3855# then after flashing via odin...

[Q] Jelly Bean 4.1.2 hangs a lot!

Hey guys
I am running JB 4.1.2 on my Galaxy S Advance. First I was really pleased about the new functions, the additional speed and the new the design.
( I was running 2.3.6)
But now my mobile hangs a lot, if I'm watching videos, playing music or if I just go on facebook.
I've used the instructions of this video and I've done exactly the same as showed. /watch?v=2W2NVfGJ0Cc
Do you have any ideas, how I can speed up my phone?
Maybe with an other kernel, an other ROM or something like that.
Greetings from Switzerland!

Use latest xxlq4 version, and some of custom kernel. I do not have lag at all with it.
Sent from Galaxy S Advance
Mine hangs a lot tok when i open the YouTube app in the first video, i must be tapping the first 10 seconds the screen to respond and if i have luck it doesn't hangs, and if it does, for me there is no other way out than a hard reset...
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
even my phone used to lag a lot.
just root ur phone, use a custom kernel like cocre or thunderzap.
i use cocore 3.3 and in no frills, set governor to pegasusq and i/o to sio.
it will work smoothly. i play gta vice city just fine

i am using stock rom XXLQ4 with cocore 3.3 kernel and no frills config: governor-pegasusq and i/o-sio
still if u feel the phone lags which i dont think it will, u can enable forced gpu rendering in developer options, although u may experience screen flickering.
try Thunderzap 4.1 kernel and wipe cache/dalvik. See if there's any difference. It worked for me.
my phone also hangs quite a lot, a few times a day when i want to unlock my phone it just shows the last used app (be it the launcher or any other app) and doesn't respond except for the power button. when i press the power button the screen locks, but when pressing again it's still frozen.

It has been a long time since we have custom kernels and roms. Use CoCore E kernel and some custom ROM. Or some CM ROM.

already done, when i deodexed it i made a flashable zip that removes all files from /preload/symlink/system/app, /system/app and /system/framework, and then copies all the deodexed files to these locations, and roots it and adds dsp manager.

does cm 10.1 have a better battery life than cm 10.2? cause in cm 10.2 it was quite terrible, only about half a day with wifi off (i never use data connection, always turn that of ) and in standby most of the time.
edit- the battery is fine, it's almost new, and in stock rom i can get about 1 and-a-half day with wifi almost constantly on

i think i'm gonna try that one for a day or so, see if the battery life is indeed better than cm 10.2.
only downside other than that is the high vibration strength, is there anyway to lower that? (only for buttons and certain onscreen things)
and is there much difference in battery life between 10.2 and 10.1?
edit- just installed it, but wifi always takes about 2 minutes to turn on, so i'm back to stock based

so that one hasn't got the wifi problem? that would be great thanks for the link
and if so, is it also fixed in 10.2? that would be even better
edit- still the same problem, most of the time it takes around 2 minutes to turn on wifi, and sometimes it doesn't even turn on and i have to reboot.

If you haven't done yet, root your phone. Then flash a custom recovery. CWM or TWRP. Then flash a custom kernel or a custom rom.
I think the Jelly Bean stock-rom isn't recommended for this phone. It didn't use to lag, when I used Gingerbread 2.3. After flashing Jelly Bean it hanged a lot!
Now, i rooted it, installed CWM and the custom rom Pure Vanilla. It doesnt lag anymore!
Greetings and nice luck

Did you try playing with the GPU rendering?
Settings - Developer options - Force GPU rendering (actually all options under Drawing can cause problems if they are not set properly.
Do you use any specific kernel or you always stay with stock one? Have you tried SlimBean ROM?
edit: after checking pics again, I see that you have glitches even in recovery :blink: I would say it could be a HW problem, broken cable or something like that. Flashing custom roms and the broking of cable at the same time can be a serious coincidence (or have you tried going back to stock 2.3.6?)

Stock 2.3.6 works fine so I think there is no problem with the LCD at all.
Cyanogenmod with ClockworkMod kernel turns the screen pink, but then I flash stock rom 2.3.6 with stock kernel and everything is fine.
I've tried flashing other roms like MIUI with Kernel Mackay CMC and it turns the screen pink as well.
Something in the custom kernels is not working on my device.

I think this may be the rom that will hit over the 3k barrier. at the moment hitting constant 29XX mark in quadrant even with first 3D test staying on avg between 40-60FPS, 38-44FPS 2nd 3D and 23-25FPS on last 3D.
My Setup
Gapps: Banks Min 4.4 7/29/14 build
Runtime: Art
CPU Freq: 1.4Ghz 1.2mV
Govener: Ondemand
I/O Sch: SiO
Additional Tweaks
Malive Booster v2.0
Flashable Seeder by ryu found in seeder op
Hyper Cola v1.6
Once again , Thanks @jfbs for another treat.
To others who are curious, this rom is stacked feature wise, responsive and impressive
Flashed this earlier today and I agree with @det0xx, this ROM has some great customization features and is very responsive!
I've only noticed a few bugs here and there (long pressing location tile doesn't navigate to location menu, needed to re-check and then un-check to disable flip tile effect, unable to remove torch tile), but nothing major. Overall, this is one impressive ROM! Great job @jfbs!
One bug I have is the lockscreen wallpaper disappears and stays black. Did a fresh install, not a major issue, just wanted to report it. Thanks for the rom, really nice.

odd i haven't got that issue or at least not yet. Mind giving more feedback as to
Gapps used/using: List all the ones you have tried only that has this issue. CM, PA, Banks, and/or etc. vers such as 4.4.2 -.4 and build date.
Theme: default or 3rd party if 3rd party link or name of theme
Wallpaper: used gallery or 3rd party app to set it.
Runtime: Art or dalvik
Gapps: banks standard 4.4.4 7-24 build, standard theme. Wallpaper set through gallery, dalvik runtime. The problem seems to come and go. I'm not really concerned with it as at the moment I'm using this device as a media player. If nobody else is having the issue maybe I messed something up when adjusting my settings. When I have the chance I will see if I can sort it out.

Sorry for the delayed reply been tweaking to hit a constant and stable 3k benchmark. at 2950-98 atm for constant and stable. i've hit 3k just recently however phone becomes unstable. if your phone can handle 1.5ghz oc without problems then the 3k is already possible but battery life i'd assume would drop quite a bit. i've also hit unstable 3k using 1.4ghz and tweaking some settings but haven't messed with it much yet. anyways as far as your issue. yeah it has me stumped without physically seeing everything. If your not worried about and at least to my knowledge no one else is having the same issue. let us know if you do figure out what it is that is causing it.
I got my issue resolved. I'm not sure what caused it, but I fixed it by re-flashing the rom.

prolly just flashed without wiping davlik and not 1 zip at a time per a reboot.
I used this ROM on my s4, it is a really nice ROM. Think I will pull out the exhibit and give it a try.
Well this rom is awesome.
And I finally figured out what I did wrong when trying jfbs's roms. It turns out I was not always loading just one zip at a time, and not leaving it alone long enough after booting the rom.
This time I left it be but with the settings screen on and CPU overlay enabled in developer options so I could tell when it finally stopped thrashing the IO subsystem in the phone (over 90% usage in the overlay, showed blue for a good 20 minutes).
So far so good! Been running it now for a day and no major issues.
Though one niggling thing is no way to adjust the hard buttons back light. I prefer to have it always on with the screen instead of timing out after 5 seconds.

if you really want to get the most follow my oc guide in general op. Note battery life decreases past stock voltage. however higher frequency does not. i would also recommend waiting til you try the phone for a little bit before overclocking. however if you want better battery life and lower cpu temps now without sacrificing performance you can always undervolt the cpu for stock frequency. Stock if i remember correctly is 1ghz at 1.2mV i know almost if not everyone using the galaxy w (which is where most of our stuff comes from) can run 1ghz at 1.1mV as far as i know all our exhibits can as well. I could be wrong but at least from others and my own experience 1.1mV works flawlessly for 1ghz. as far as flashing a kernel to do it with jfbs roms you dont need to flash anything with cars1198's roms you do. Also i would not recommend starting at 1.1mV as a starting point.
EDIT: @jfbs so been running this rom for some time now and i can honestly say this beats AOIP by a long shot now. rock solid, still constant 29xx .8%hr sleep, 24%hr (max 4hr15mins) at stress test usage oc'd at 1.4ghz @ 1.2mV. No rom/kernel sided bugs encountered.

[Q] Where did I mess up?

Device: Sony Xperia SP C5303
ROM: Cyanogenmod 11 nightly (20150323)
Status: Rooted, Bootloader Unlocked
3 months ago I decided to use my phone to its full potential. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader with Flashtool. After that I loaded the boot.img with fastboot from the ROM Zip and later I cleaned the cache, data and dalvik. I installed a stable version of the cyanogenmod 11 with google apps.
Now the bad part: EVERYTHING is slow. The phone takes almost 2 minutes to turn on. it takes 5 seconds to wake up and sometimes it doesn't even wake up and crashes. This device has been countlessly wiped, installed new roms and whatnot but it still lags, stutters and is actually worse than stock. Also the slowness started already after the first installation of CM 11. I tried custom roms here from XDA (f.e. CM 12 from bagyusz), even FreeXperia but the slowness is across all of these the same.
My question is (if anybody is able/wanting to help me) where did I mess up?

Download Trickster Mod Kernel Settings and see if maybe - it shouldn't happen - the maximum frequency of your CPU is locked to a very low value.
Also, from the General tab of Trickster Mod Kernel Settings you can see whether both cores of the CPU are online. Maybe your phone has got damaged hardware.

Both cores are active (the second one only sometimes). Max frequency is 1728 MHz. Any more ideas?

As i am aware of official cm11 is EXTREMELY SLOW, try to do clean install of the lbl versions of cm11 for example the mateos337 one.
But be sure to clean install just format everything exept storage you have your zips on.
Btw i am running official release of liquidsmooth 3.2 and i can not complain about one single thing....
