screen flickering caused by navigator? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I keep getting screen flickering when I open opera mini and ESPN sc. also happens on regular bases but I think I happens mostly when I turn on the navigator bars. I have tried changing screen DPI and all that.

Sounds like you're on a custom ROM. If so go to developer settings and turn off hardware overlay. Should fix the flickering.

Weird screen glitch

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

Screen Rotation bug?

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.

Suddenly... Screen flicker

Hello, my device was working great for a month, now suddenly, screen flicker, it flickers quickly every now and then.
Is this hardware related or can it be fixed by software?
It appeared after I installed a new Rom, but now it appears in different roms.
It also started appearing after I played with root dim app, setting screen brightness to lower than usual (and not only laying a filter). Not sure if that might have anything to do with it.
In it is not present when brightness is at 100 %. But anything lower it is there.
Read somewhere about someone opening the device and clean the connector apparently solving his flicker. Hoping I won't have to do that though.
Thanks in advance!

Screen does not rotate!

Hi,
My nexus 7 screen doesn't rotate back from landscape mode. This happens when I watch the BBC iPlayer. Then I have to uninstall the iPlayer and reboot the device each time. This was fine before going to Lollipop.
Any ideas what might be happening?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Check the settings in Display > Auto Rotate Screen. It might be disabling auto rotation but not toggling back.
If that's the case, you could use Tasker to turn auto rotation back on when you exit iPlayer.
I don't use the BBC iPlayer, but like the OP, I have been having this problem as well. Auto-rotate would work again after a reboot, but then just fail at any given time. I've also had this problem ever since Lollipop was installed to my device, and never when I had KitKat or even Jellybean on it. My Nexus 7 2013 is a 16 GB model, and it's on Lollipop 5.1.1 build number LMY47V.
I have this problem on CleanROM 6 with both Elemental and Glitch Kernel. It only happens after a couple of hours of use and a reboot fixes it. I have not been motivated enough to flash the stock kernel to see of that fixes it. I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else in the Clean ROM thread.
Me too, came here to look for answers.
I hope it's not hardware related.
try clean restore to "stock"
I had this issue with grogg's rom (mostly stock) and went back the the cleanrom (closer to stock) with a full wipe, and it's back to working as it should. So, maybe just some sort of side effect or bad data somewhere.
Try a really "clean" reset of the OS/environment and see if that helps
Same here. Have to use certain apps to force the orientation to change

I've been having this problem on 4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1, stock rom, oakp, pa. And I found the following (in hope it would help fixing it):
1. Rebooting doesn't always fix it. Sometimes I have to clear cache + dalvik.
2. The issue happens less often when not using Nova Launcher and sticking to the Google Launcher.
3. The issue happens less often when switching off the magnetics sensor (that turns off the device when closing a 'smart' lid) using ElementalX kernel.
Could anyone confirm that?
Turn off your tablet. Try to press back cover hardly on N & S at nexus logo for a few second. Then turn on your tablet again. It should work.
I don't know why, but I also had this issue. I flashed stock 5.1.1 and rotation works normally.
If I had to guess, and I do..., I'd say it was an app causing the problem. Don't know what one or how though.
Flashing the stock kernel solved it for me. It's been a week and I have not seen the issue since.
I believe the problem is because the sensor board is either failing or just faulty and works on and off.
I hate the same problem and if you open CPU-Z and go to the sensor section when the screen doesn't rotate you can see most/ all of the sensors are not being picked up/detected
My fix is to shut down the hit my knuckle out of anger on the bottom of the tablet (On the screen and the back) Its as if the board is loose or has something that isn't making contact

YouTube App on screen buttons and notification bar

Its been a common problem ever since I have used the n5 and all other devices that use on screen nav bars sometimes the navigation buttons get stuck on the screen wile watching a video but is this a common problem with everyone or just me? I find it super annoying and I am wondering if it's a OS problem or just the YouTube App and is it something that can be fixed?

I have the same problem too. It seems like it happens every time after a "click on this for more" pop-up appears.
Was just about to ask this! It seems to be random too, I clicked on a different video and it was fine, but then it comes back sooner or later.

Ive found that if you click on the little "i" icon you can get a popup bar that you can dismiss. When i dismiss it the bars go back to normal. Works most of the time for me.
I've noticed it as well. Sometimes they disappear as they're supposed, other times they stay until the next video if I'm lucky.
