Every now and then my screen goes all weird like in the photo. Anyone else experience this?

I've never experienced that but if it's glitchiing like that and you capture with a screen shot it could be a defect in the gpu or a software problem, I'd suggest backing up your data and apps and doing a factory reset if the problem persists then it's time for an RMA

Anything?
Hello,
I seem to get this problem (sometimes on a more severe scale) since late. I use a rooted galaxy nexus running jelly bean.
I noticed this seems to happen (almost exclusively) when I use the google navigation app or play dead trigger (zombie shoot em up style)
during either of these activities, sometimes the whole phone glitches like so and freezes often causing me to restart the gps or the whole phone, its really annoying.
I was wondering if you had any luck with your issue

Running stock ICS haven't touched anything.
Every time I am in an app and click the home button it loads a blank home screen then takes a while to load everything on my home screen. It didn't use to do this, only started in the past few days. Any ideas?

I was having that issue after I installed a live wallpaper (Microbes). Got rid of that and it went back to normal.
Don't have a live wallpaper installed.

Are you using a custom launcher?Did you touch anything in developer options?
Did you install an app before it started acting up? It may not be fully compatible with 4.0 and causing issues. Also, have you tried to do a simple restart?
Found the issue. It was easy battery saver. Got rid of it and its fine now.

it case it happens again, what your experiencing is home screen redraw. it happens when the android system kills the launcher to save up memory.
this means that when you press home to go back to the launcher, it has to refresh, and redraw everything. and the more you have on your homescreens, and the more apps/widgets you have installed the longer it takes.
i've noticed it happening a lot on my phone when i'm switching between apps and then press home. It's normal for third party launchers but very strange for the stock one to have this so often.
I've had the exact same problem of late (also with the stock app-draw), I imagine it's a case of pinpointing the suspect app that's causing this. It's pretty serious though, a good 2 or 3 seconds and even then it's super choppy until the home screens are redrawn... The joys of early adoption :\
I was just searching to see if anyone else was experiencing this. I get the same over here.
I had similar issue. Something ate all my RAM, but it wasn't listed in 'running apps' in settings . Reboot fixed it
well folks, the sooner you go onto custom ROM the better. I tried ignoring these (and several other issues you are about to encounter) but the list was getting endless
I've bigxie and franco kernel now (4.0.3), not difficult to install, and now most of the STOCK issues are gone...
I've been having some pretty big issues with this phone ...it's unrooted running stock ITL41F still on 4.0.1 in the UK
Its been 7 days that I've owned this phone now. And few times it has just crashed. I could be in the middle of typing something, or anything else just coming out of an app, and the screen will freeze go black. And done! Crashed.
And crashed such that it doesn't start I have to take the battery out and reboot. It just dies. It happened a few times but I was setting my phone up so I let it go but now this is just downright annoying. It happens once in two days or so.
Second, and this is even worse. The phone is not dying but goes in a sort of coma. The screen becomes unresponsive.. and the keyboard doesn't work!! And in most apps only selective touch input works...let's say in whatsapp I was talking to a friend and it was working okay but suddenly it stopped accepting my input for a new mesg. And then I couldn't open another chat. Lots of things started being unresponsive...
I went to the home screen and even the Google search bar ..when I clicked on it the keyboard came up ( which it wasn't coming while middle of whatsapp chat) but it didn't accept any input.
I tool the battery out. Rebooted. And it worked initially but then after a few minutes. Exact same problem.
Rebooted again. But again same problem !! That was a bit of a horror really
Right now it seems to be accepting my text input but ... really don't know what the heck is going on for both these issues above. Any advise will be appreciated
Also yeah I do have quite a few apps installed on this device ... considering its stock ROM this should be safest against a vulnerability but any advise on if I should install one of those anti virus apps on it? Or any sorts of apps that I should avoid which cause such major stability issues with ur phone ??
Cheers

I've only experienced few of your issues.
Coma and reboot happened a couple of time while I was on 4.0.1.
But since getting 4.0.2 a few weeks ago those issues went away.

4.0.2 ftw.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
There are a few threads here with people experiencing similar problems. My screen goes black and also requires a battery pull.

4.0.3 ftw. Either flash a custom rom or get the 4 0.2 update to help with your problem.
Definitely a software issue that you're having.

I refuse to believe it is 4.0.1 it has been long delayed in the UK
That wouldn't be the case by Google if it was fixing such serious stability issues with the phone
Why do you come here doling out suggestions when you have no clue?
I am having the same problem again now everything is very slow and even the keyboard doesn't open in even Google search most functions unresponsive
And now most apps are force closing on me
IMDB and now xda app too. The phone is half dead the back buttons don't work either
This is the same thing that happened earlier in the day when I posted, and then the phone worked okay but now its back killing my phone
Anyone has any clue what could be going on ? Also this is the GSM version in the UK on 4.0.1 so only if you have a clue please respond else thank you very much
Now even settings page says its not responding
I can post on xda and it works but when I press back that doesnt.
Back doesn't work in any screens. The settings page not working was a classic screenshot will attach here from a PC.
Sorry for the continues rant folks. Just giving as much info as I can to those knowledgeable folks who might be able to help
The crashes arent stopping ..and the 4.0.3 isn't coming to the UK for some reason either ( which leads me to believe that it has some fixes for LTE which isn't available here anyway)
Aren't other users in the UK facing this crash problem - like once in 2 days or so??

Uninstall some of the apps you've downloaded that run in background. Battery Monitory was causing my phone to randomly reboot every other day or so. I uninstalled it and it was fine.
If that doesn't work, there's always Factory Reset.
What's up,
It seems without failure since ICS, when my phone is in vibrate or silent and the screen is on in any way, it makes the tiniest little clicking sound and it usually happens twice at the same time.
Can anyone relate/provide a fix? Is it a bug in the OS or an isolated case?

Hey there, just want to consult something to you guys. For the past few days I am experiencing a bug in screen rotation. Seems like the phone cannot detect the accelerometer and it doesn't rotate the screen/app accordingly. I also tried Rotation Locker set to auto but it only rotates when I lock/unlock the phone. Apparently the issue can be fixed by restarting the phone but it goes back again. BTW, phone is stock unrooted MB2. I experienced this after MB2. Anyone having the same symptoms?

Disable smart rotation.
Search this forum. I saw this problem long back

Also started experiencing this rotation bug with DMB2. I thought it was just because I was pushing the system to the edge.
The "smart rotation" comment above does not work. Only a restart does the trick.
This is so annoying. First, the battery issues. Now this?! Come on, Samsung. Don't kill my love for the Note 2 with your stupid updates.
Mine does the same and I have exhanged one unit because of it and still happens its weird wished samsung would fix it. Only seems to happen when I watch a video for long period of times. Dont have smart rotation enabled either its a strange one.
It usually only happens when playing a bigger game like Real Racing 3 or Heroes of Order & Chaos. The screen will stop receiving any input for a second or two, then be fine. It's happened since I was unrooted on stock, and on every ROM since after I rooted, so I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with that. Is it a hardware problem or a security thing or what?

Then it isn't random. Your phone is either overheating to the point of forcing a reboot or running out of ram and triggering a reboot.
You mean a screen reboot? Overheating is actually probably causing it. It doesn't reboot the phone or anything, I just am unable to use the screen for a second. I'll try to keep the phone cool now.
