There are some problems with rendering, I think. The problems started with ICS so I think Asus delivered a buggy product.
Here is a problem with the left side of the screen while using FireFox:
And here is some glitching while just using Andoid ICS:
Yeah, I had the same issue, but I saw in another post that this can be fixed by rooting and running SetCPU, and setting the scaling mood to "Performance". Ever since I did that, I no longer have the problem. I'll search for the other thread and post a link here when I find it.

I still have the flickering screen problem after .14update. Does anyone have the problem? I am wondering if Asus will fix this problem with future update...The flickering screen is really annoying to me..
Edit: Because of flickering, I no longer use ezpdf reader and switched to "My Library". Then flickering occurred when it was just standing by....

I didn't see this issue until after I upgraded to ICS... I only see it when I use the live wallpaper... lets hope our friend Gary and Asus can figure this out an fix the problem.
Just wait for the custom roms that will come out since the bootloader unlock is out. The Dev's will get all the issues ironed out and make this a great tablet for sure.

have you been able to isolate what applications or events trigger the screen flickering?
it is my belief that the screen flickering issues are caused by bugs in the video drivers. certain applications seem to be causing memory corruption of some sort that leads to this flickering. in my case i am seeing specific applications trigger the issue, and a reboot always fixes it. i am quite sure this is not a hardware problem given those characteristics.
i'm thinking that the best way to address this is to identify some easily reproducible steps, provide this info to Gary and hope this gets passed on to asus/nvidia engineers so that they can identify and fix the bugs.
i rarely seen the issue before the last update, now its constantly, i just did a fresh boot and the very first 10 seconds was the screen flickering.. Pretty annoying i might add. Bcokas here

The only time I see Flickering Screen seems to be using Firefox Browser and I think the App itself causing most if not all the problem.

+1 i have also seen firefox trigger the flickering multiple times
After the ICS update I get horrible flickering, screen tearing, and artifacting in the youtube app in power save mode. Like to the point where it will lock up, turn off and restart itself. Interestingly enough tho, that does not happen in balanced mode or performance mode. Any idea as too why?

Once you used the customer rom, the warranty on your prime will be forfeited. At that time, flickering or not, you have to pay to fix that. Be careful when you do that.

I read somewhere that the screen refresh rate is dropped to 35Hz when in power saving mode. Perhaps that's why?
I have ICS .11 and only have a Flickering Screen when i open the Youtube app and this almost every time..

after reading the other thread, i have found out that the asus weather widget is kinda associated with the flickering. i also see this flickering using ezpdf reader and youtube app and brower. The brower and the pdf reader ones flashes more quickly than the ones caused by the widgets
Just another data point, I see flickering and strange artifacting all the time whenever I run Wyse Pocket Cloud.
YouTube flickers for me.

Temp solution is to turn on ips+ and put brightness to the lowest to save your eyes from blinding lol...
Could this be a .14 issue?
I have a lot of flickering and apps disappear / reappear as apps open and close.
It gets very annoying.
A restart fixes it for a few minutes but then it starts again.
.13 didn't have this issues.

It's an issue with every single update, depending on who you are
Every update so far has fixed some peoples' issues and introduced those same issues to people who previously did not have them.
msg gary?
I just updated my prime to .15 but the flickering still continues... I am wondering if anyone can PM Gary or tell me how to personal message him. I just become a xda member few days ago..so I am not sure how to do it.
Just updated to .15 and still see flickering and artifacts. This looks like driver issue. I had similiar problem on my laptop caused by drivers. Btw i notice so far its flickering on Firefox, YouTube and that Pinball game from nvidia tegra zone ( on game after i closed youtube, before it was ok)
Using the YouTube app is the best way I can reproduce it on mine:

I have a stock, unrooted Prime, on the current firmware (.21). Occasionally it will display this peculiar screen glitch - it reminds me of video card overheating symptoms I've seen on a few laptop monitors. The main artifacts show on the left hand side of the screen, as well as home screen icons and home bar jumping up and down a few pixels. It shows up in both applications and on the home screen. The issue is not dependent on the dock being connected - I tested with and without it. I have searched this forum as well as other sites, and have not seen anything similar.
Today I managed to take a few videos and have posted one on youtube. The link is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD6CbK6KL4Q
Has anybody encountered this problem before? Or have any suggestions?
Thanks
I've had that happen before on one of my primes, it was fixed by a quick reboot. For me it happened in the youtube app, so I also cleared the app's cache just to be sure, hasn't happened since.
I really don't mean to be a whinny *****.... but dude, there are enough threads about this exact same problem in the forums already. You really should have searched before creating another one.

Like I said in the OP, I did search on this forum as well as others, and have not seen anything similar. There are many reports of a tearing while opening/closing apps from the previously opened list, as well as horizontal banding across the whole screen. Also, the posts I could find were from people on previous firmware versions, who reported their issues disappearing after updating to the latest (.21).
For those two reasons (unique symptoms, and firmware), I considered this a potentially new problem, and created this question thread.
Feel free to link to similar threads you have found though. It could help me and others.

Interesting. (You have multiple primes?)
The first time this happened to mine, I had not used youtube at all. But since then, watching youtube videos has been the most consistent trigger to get the problem to occur.
The most recent time it happened, I noticed that the flickering stopped while I had my finger on the screen. (Conductive problem with video chip??)
I had this happen to me also with the camera application. I powered it off and back on again and it cleared it.
I have had this happen before. Mine looks worst though and the whole screen actually changes color, sometimes inverted color. Luckily it only happens when I connect to my HDtv through HDMI and doesnt appear like that on my TV. Usually clears itself without a reboot when I touch the screen or disconnect the Prime from the TV.

This is the issue I have when the screen is allowed to fall asleep while watching video (YouTube included). Open a YouTube video full screen, pause it, let the screen go black and lock. Now when you turn the screen back on see if the issue happens on the lock screen

Is anyone else having any issues with jpg pictures not completely loading in browsers while on JB? Not quite sure when this started happening, but I made a quick video to demonstrate below.
First off, I am unlocked and I made this video while on Craig's Stock JB ROM with the original data location. I added the init.d, EXT4, and CtlSys mods as well as the JB Build prop from the other build.prop thread at that time and was having the issue so not sure what was causing it.
Now, I just did a fresh clean install of a brand new Hairy Bean 1.3 JB ROM with the data2sd kernel and typical install and before doing any titanium restores or anything else I went and tested the browser and found out the SAME thing is happening on this ROM??? Much less frequently, but I've had it still happen. Weird thing is if it DOES happen, if I rotate the screen then the whole picture loads and will be there if I rotate back.
Is this a JB glitch and is anybody on Stock JB having this issue?
If someone can go to post 383 on Craig's thread to test it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32345358&postcount=383
and click on the pictures as I did in the video can someone tell me if the pictures are fully loading in whatever browser you are using or sometimes does only the part actually showing on the screen load, and the bottom is white when you scroll? I've had this same issue on both the standard and data2microsd configurations.
Please check this video to see what I mean.

Thank you for your time.
157 views and nobody has this problem or is curious enough to check it themselves?

You are not alone I experience the same problem. When you change from landscape to portrait and back then the image is fine again. So it seems a landscape rendering problem.

Thanks for confirming with me that at least someone else is having the issue. Found that it happens much less often with Chrome (but overall Chrome is much slower) and seems to never happen at all with Dolphin Beta.
Got an interesting problem for you guys. I'm on the unnofficial cm10.1 (p12) and everything I use that involves flipping through pages glitches. I'm an avid chiver, and as I flip through an album on their app, it'll randomly flip itself back a page. When I go to swipe and go back to my original page, it fixes as soon as I touched the screen, and then will glitch again a few moments later. Same with Chrome. Except it will flip pages AND jump around the current one. I've played with turning HW rendering off and changed my I/O Scheduler around to try and find the fix to no avail. Re-flashing dirty/clean made no difference either. Different launchers are better or worse, but never fixed. Worse yet, I'm afraid its a hardware issue, as it has done this (though not as severely) on other roms. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.
