how to fix half screen display flickering after flashing a new rom

need newbie here.......................

We're going to need some more info. Which ROM? Which recovery? Have you noticed the problem before on another ROM? Is this your first ROM? Full wipe?

I'm having a very difficult time understanding your writing style and need to clarify.
So far as I understand, you originally had Venom ICS flashed from the latest 4ext. After a few days or a week, half of the screen began flickering. I believe you then rerooted the phone? Then you full wiped (so that's system, data, and cache). You then flashed JellyTime R29 from CWM 5.0.37. The problem showed back up after a few days or a week again. Is that accurate?
Have you flashed any other ROMs? Has the phone been dropped or taken any other damage? Have you tried flashing a stock ROM? Have you had any ROMs on which the problem didn't show up? Did you have this problem on stock before rooting?

Assuming you did a full wipe of system, data and cache I can only guess that it's a hardware problem. It persists across multiple ROMs, so that's my guess. See if anyone else has a suggestion.

Wait, you didn't say that before. Have you messed with the auto brightness settings before? Try turning it off; is it still a problem? When you say flickering do you mean the back light? Or graphical glitches? Or something else?

The persistence across ROMs (and I'm assuming that you haven't messed with settings) suggests that it's probably a graphics hardware issue. I vaguely remember someone else having this problem but can't remember who; I'll ask around. Unfortunately I'm not from the Philippines, so I don't know where you can get it repaired.

I think gizmoe knows the answer to this one.

You can private message him here on the forums. His username is Gizmoe.

You can also search for the answer in the dhd and inspire forums, to see if it shows up.
I'm guessing gizmoe may not know the answer since he would have surely posted something in this thread by now. I may be wrong about that as I may also be wrong about him knowing the answer.

I'm so close to downgrading....

Having upgraded to 4.2.x now for about a month I have nothing but fustrations about the upgrade. I've had probably 5-6 random reboots where as on 4.1.x I had none. The phone has had problems connecting to data where the only remedy was to reboot. I've also had problems connecting with GPS AND bluetooth where only a reboot would fix things. The OS studders much more than before and (it could be my imagination) it seems some apps run slower than before. With that said if I have to reboot one more time this week I will be downgrading.
BTW I'm stock with bootloader unlocked on yakju.

Like everyone else you should try a fresh install of the factory image wiping everything without restoring any data. It shouldn't matter if you are going to downgrade anyway.
We are many who have had no issues at all, so give it a shot.

Lots of threads already on these issues.
Just downgrade now and save us having to listen to more whining...

If you updated from 4.1 to 4.2 without a full wipe there's potential for a lot to go wrong. There could be some app running as a service that isn't fully compatible with 4.2 causing your issues.
With that being said, I would try fully resetting the device, no need to re-flash the stock image because it's already in place on the device anyway.
Install apps that are known to work on 4.2 ONLY. Then, you can begin testing to see if it becomes stable. After that, do what you want.

if you're on the VZW Galaxy Nexus, then i strongly recommend getting the mmuzzy rom. i think it's made specifically for that carrier/model only. it's been great for me so far. so smooth, no issues thus far!
i don't know how much experience you have with swapping roms, but you should use the Super Wipe utility that mmuzzy recommends.

Hi.
I only have problems in bluetooth in 4.2.1... Sometimes I turned it off and I cannot turn it on again Also... sometimes when the phone goes into sleep mode it disconnect the connection with handset... It never happen in 4.1.
I downloaded the factory image of 4.2.1 from Google and flash it... still the same. I saw people saying a clean install... Should I do another kind of install other than I did?
Can someone please tell me if got this kind of bluetooth problem and have solved it? How?
Thanks

[Q] Weird bootloop problem...

Last month, my gnex suddenly rebooted itself when texting, then it just stuck in bootloop forever.
I got it work again only after several times of factory reset and even pushing factory image.
I was using xenon + franco at that time.
However, 3 days ago it rebooted itself again when playing a music app, then the bootloop problem happened again. Somehow it could boot, but within a minute, it reboots and bootloops again.
i was using xylon + ak kernel this time.
I started to think if this is due to hardware problem.. and i took it to store yesterday after pushing the factory image to it. they said this is due to some incompatibility of some apps... (i dun understand why factory image could have this issue...) and did a recovery for me. My phone is reset back to 4.0.4 and it seemed working fine..
Then i pushed back the 4.2.1 factory image to it and still nothing happened. i started flashing back xylon and ak kernel to see if it works. It did run perfect for the whole night until this morning. When i was installing some ordinary apps, eg. air, skout, it rebooted itself again...
Flashing factory image of 4.2.1, 4.1.2, and even 4.0.4 all do not work.
it got past the google screen, and then to the bootanimation for a few seconds and it freezes and color seems weird, and then reboot again.
i have tried flashing through the toolkit and also through fastboot command..
does anyone know what is the problem causing this...
thanks in advance.

Anyone help please..

ok i have twrp and this tool kit
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
but idk if the v10 is the same way
but i wiped the system and took the whole os off the phone than restored the factory image
idk if that option is in your recovery tho
or download the toolkit i linked go to fastboot flash the stock image in that toolkit root it (it will install the recovery i use also)
and restore you apps if it happens again wipe the system and do as i said.
i highly trust the toolkit i use it saved my ass alot. i couldnt get the v10 toolkit to work for me at all

well, it is a common issue with the nexus devices without a sd slot(nexus s and the galaxy nexus).

after a clean flash of Maguro Overdrive milestone 1, the phone is running again...
restored some of the apps.
let's see how long can the phone stand before another round of bootloop...

Op the same thing is happening to me, i also was on xylon and it was running fine and it just started bootlooping. i tried everything toolkit, flashing factory image lie you did and nothing, the only one that works now is ics stock 4.0.4 .if i try any other rom stock or custom the bootloops starts again and it wont boot, it only boots on 4.0.4 .so pretty much the same thing happened to me .

I need more info. Did you do a clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik? Is the speaker working for other apps?What, if any, mods did you flash after initial rom flash. I haven't had this problem on this rom, but all phones are different it seems. So I need as much info as possible.

Yes, clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik no mods or tweaks-
The speaker is fine, I can hear them no problem. The microphone when the phone is on speaker phone does not work however. People say they can barely hear me at all and I've tried calling myself and can confirm that it sounds very low and crackly. When I reinstall a TW rom..it works flawlessly.
Does it have anything to do going from JB to Slim? When I reinstall JB rom i use the 2x wipe. I ran out of things to try so I went back to TW but would rather be on slim + zap kernal

I would try another clean install, wipe data,cache,dalvik,like three times.Just to make sure nothing is left behind and flash rom from the eL29 direct boot kernel. I have seen this issue in other roms,now that I did a little research,and it seems phone specific. I myself have never had a mic problem. I will keep looking, so keep an eye on this thread. Also, did you go to JB correctly. Using the one - click full restore....this partitions you're phone correctly. Could have nothing to do with you're problem,but wanted to ask..I think the full restore is the one you want, just grab the one that wipes you're internal memory. Yep....back-up time.

My first flash since I bought it was a one click, however, I went to other TW roms and used the 2x wipe zip since then. When I went to slim ( and even black bean ) and I used the el29 direct boot. I noticed it happens only on AOSP roms..maybe it is just my device.

Yep, it could be you're device. I'll keep looking and hit you up if I find anything. But this phone is wonky that way. I can't run Dirty Unicorn. It flashes fine and runs great, for about a day. Then the grimlin's come out. Still trying to figure that one out... Hey, if you like slim bean. You'll love Dirty Unicorn.. Give it a go. I would run it, but slim just flies on my phone. Sorry I couldn't be more help... And Im not sure if you uderstood what I meant by one-click. There is a one - click that you need to flash before the first time you go to JB from ICS... It partions you're phone correctly.

When I first went from ics to JB I used a one click install FULL WIPE (GB10 I think it was at the time) version ( which is what this post tells you to do) so yes I have done this step when I went from ICS to JB. Besides, I'm sure if I didn't do it correctly then any version of JB would not work on my phone and it does
Other then using a ics modem, Is there any special step ( not already mentioned ) to go back to AOSP from JB?

Do you have any tweaks flashed. I seen where nos tweaks(some of them)can mess with gps.

wipe cache, dalvik
shutdown and reboot multiple times,
install a fresh copy of the rom,
tried other roms,
made sure i wiped system and storage when flashing new rom,
and tried to insert, reinsert sim card multiple times.
Strangely enough when this problem happens, the home button laso seems to act like its unlocking the device...
What do you guys think?
I'm thinking maybe I got some water on my device and ended up having it seep into the home button and the back of the device.

Sounds like a modem issue, might just need updating to the latest for you device...

This problem suddenly came out of nowhere.
I've had the same rom (paranoid android 3.99 RC2) running on my phone for 6 months and everything works perfectly until one day as I'm driving home the GPS goes wonky.

Agree with the updating modem?
Have you popped open the phone and checked the water indicators ? Check for water invasion, that would answer whether it's a factor or not.

I flashed to the stock rom and unrooted, which flashed the UCALJ2 Modem. It's working fine now on Paranoid 3.60.
I downgraded to that one since I never had any troubles with that rom, I kinda liked that version anyway,
but if I get any issues I will post here again.

That's possibly because I have a lot going on. And I try my best to have it UPDATED with the latest stuff.
You wanna know when the last time I updated, then look at the top of the OP page. Updated yesterday btw
Modems are updated to the latest one....
