I'm not having any issues with ICS. You should only be getting that issue with JellyBean ROMS.

YES!!! I've been saying this for awhile now lol. Don't know how to get rid of it. I've tried to flash with both trwp and cwm6 to no avail. Sad about it :'( my usual go to roms are cm9 and tdjs dark side v8. No more cm9 now.

See the funny thing is I dont have that issue with jellybean roms anymore... And this did NOT happen to me on previous cm 9 builds. This only started happening ever since I started flashing jellybean builds

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.

Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.

I'm going to flash the 9/30 nightly with trwp and see what happen. I'm going to try to flash without installing gapps to see if that has any effect.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:

change it to ->

Jittery/Jerky scrolling...

Is anyone having jittery scrolling with their rom?I am running jedi and I didnt clean flash 6.1.1 and dont know if its causing this.
Every scrolling; menus, facebook, xda app, etc. Except stock browser is jerky. When you scroll it doesnt stop smoothly it jitters. Not too much but its definitely there and made me realize it.
I compared it to sgs2 running jellybean and everything is smooth there...
Anyone?

I have noticed the same thing since I installed jedi as well. I noticed it once jedi 6 and the same with 6.1.2

So should I try to clean install jedi again? I so dont wanna do that cuz after I flash roms I do so much tweaking it takes an hour or more to finish.
You have it as well but someone else said on jedi thread that after he clean installed its gone.
Did you clean install the 6.1.2? Or just flashed on top of previous one?

Running CleanRom 3.3 (Chose Perseus kernel when installed) and its silky smooth

Its killing me. I installed jedi 6.1.2 with perseus kernel still jerky. I am running clean rom 3.3 with perseus now and still not smooth. Tried note2core kernel still same. Installed stock 4.1.2 with perseus still laggy.
Only tome I felt less laggy was saber kernel with jedi. However saber only supports fat32. I have 64gb exfat.
This is insane. My old sgs2 with 4.1.2 is buttery smooth.

I cant seem to find the solution to this. This really made me hate this phone. Seems like frame rate is so low tgat it seems jerky when you scroll down or up on settings, facebook, tapatalk or other apps.
When you scroll slow or very fast there is no jerkiness. Its there when you scroll medium speed.
You scroll and it jerks seveal times very shortly until it stops. thats why it looks like frame rate is so low.
Enabled/disabled force 2d, nothing changes. Flashed maybe 10 times yesterday. I always wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset. Flash the rom and do wipe chache/dalvik and factory reset again then reboot.
I cant enjoy this phone anymore since I compared to sgs2 and know this is not normal.

I would return the phone if I were you...sounds like a potential hardware issue. This phone is much smoother than the sg2 (and that was a smooth phone). Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Exactly. Stock browser works buttery smooth and I dont understand why other apps and even phone's settings menu jiggles when you scroll. Its not smooth as stock browser scrolling. I dont understand that.

Ohh I flashed clean rom and jedi so many times over and over again but ni change. However only jedi with saber kernel I was able get smooth setting menu scrolling but apps such as facebook, tapatalk, whats up isnt.
I compared tapatalk side by side with sgs2 running 4.1.2 and even though its not ios smooth its still smoother than note2.
Annoying thing is that nobody seems like aware of it. I cant believe you dont have the same jerkiness. Its just obviously a software issue and everybody running the same rom/roms should have it.

I'm experiencing this same thing but I'm on Jelly beer. If I could flash a different kernel I would but you guys should try flashing the asylem core kernel. You can overclock upto 1.9 on that one and it may help with the gitter.

Can you explain then why stock browser is very smooth? and why saber kernel is with jedi makes the android menu scrolling smooth? If everything was bad yes maybe I would suspect something else, also I don't think a hardware can cause jerky scrolling when there are codes in android that can adjust scrolling.
I was using sgs2 for a year and flashed so many roms and kernels, there were huge differences in scrolling physics. Some updates were jerky, some smooth, some fast, some slow.
Everyone's perception is different. I wasn't even aware of it it took me 3 weeks to realize this jerky scrolling. For some of you, you might think this scrolling is smooth but for my standards its not acceptable because I know it can be modified and changed.
I own sgs1, sgs2 since their release dates and know pretty much what a firmware can do to your scrolling....

Does anyone else have a problem where screen rotation stops working?

I have had the problem twice now where screen rotation stops working (even in apps where I **KNOW** it should work (like Facebook). I try toggling the option in the quick bar on and off to see if I can get it to come back but nothing. I have to reboot to get it back.
I downloaded an app from the market called GyroRotate to see if it is a hardware problem but it doesn't appear to be since the app responds appropriately when it isn't working.
Any ideas?

I have had this happen once to me. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had not rebooted the phone in about three weeks. Usually I reboot once a week(had an HTC before the Note 2, old habits die hard).
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I'm completely stock, I did the OTA update and my screen rotation stopped working. Well I'm not exactly sure if it was the OTA update that caused the problem because i didn't have the phone long enough before i applied the update, so it might have been broken just overlooked it. Most of the time it works but the youtube app does not rotate. I have to restart the phone to get it working again and then after some time, don't know what causes the problem, it will stop working again.

Yup same problem but even when its stuck, samsung apps like email or calculator will rotate, its weird and annoying at times, especially since I cant figure out whats causing it. Im also stock and rooted

Try calibrating in settings then motions and then find gyroscope calibration

I have the same problem since the ota update. It happens about every other day and the only way to fix it is a reboot. I've tried toggling autorotation on and off and tried calibrating the gyro and nothing fixes it

I suspect that it might have something to do with advanced display options. In addition to "auto-rotate screen" there is a "Smart rotation" mode which - if enabled - may disable screen rotation (it checks orientation of your face).

This is a known issue... I had it once before and it's never returned... There's a thread about it somewhere... the fix involves removing the battery and rebooting...

Two questions
Does anyone know of a way to firmly reproduce this error???
How can we report stuff like this to Samsung to get fixed.

I would start by contacting ATT (611 and ask for tech support), and then Samsung (look in their website).

I would like to be able to firmly reproduce the problem before I contact anyone since they will disregard it (IMO) until I can.

Turn the phone off and then back on make sure you see the little red light in the motion sensor turn on for a second. Rebooting doesn't fix the issue. Sometimes you may have to turn off three finger boot to recovery and reboot system.

Ditto.

I have the same issue and wonder if its related to OS version. I never saw that problem when on 4.1.2 but being on 4.2.2, the Instagram filter always had that problem.
Need to ask Devs about that.....
Confirmed (or at the least)

When i had my S2 a day ago and it was onn4.2.2 i did not experience this problem.. just got on my coworkers s4 to see if he had the same problem on his stock phone andbhe does.. maybe its just the s4?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

I believe it's the size of the picture, mind you our S4 has a 13mp camera, takes 9mp by default which is still higher than the normal standard, try editing a smaller picture like one not taking from your s4 and see if the filters work correctly.
Edit: actually I'm not experiencing any glitch with any size picture.
Edit 2: ok I had it wrong its that one hdr type button that causes the picture to glitch, the normal filters work but not with that button enabled, an iG update will probably fix that.

Isn't this one of the problems many people were having? They fixed a lot of bugs in the recent nightlies.
Try flashing the most up to date kernel you can (3.4.50 was in the dev section last I looked).
Otherwise maybe try the latest nightly build. Nandroid backup if you do so you can easily revert.

It fix the problem on my phone

Tried flashing the various basebands
I have tried flashing the three different basebands for the sch-i535 and the problem with the instagram video still exists. screen looks doubled, then green and pinkish. Running the latest ayysir 6-27-2013 build of paranoid android 3. Hope this is resolved soon. Will now test various ROMs

I have the same issue too. I've been searching on Google to see if any one had the similar problem and I landed on this thread. I finally decided to register (been lurking for a while) to post this.
My Instagram would only allow me to record up to 2 segments every time without crashing. When recording the third and releasing the record button, it would either:
1) Have that pink and green color and become doubled
or
2) Just crash and restart my whole device.
I've tried it on CM10.1-RC5, CM10.1-RC4 and Nightly build 6/27 using a GS3 SGH-I747.

Any word on this at all? This is a feature I would really like to use, but I'm getting having the same issues mentioned above. Booo. CM 10.1.0

Still no fix on this? There has to be someway to fix it....

bump

Has anybody submitted the issue to CM and Instagram yet? I only ask because no one seems to have mentioned doing so and it would be the best way to get something going on this.
I don't use either one but I would think the instagram folks might at least have a little insight for you.

I fear the case has gone cold. I check daily for news and still nothing. Frustrating.
