Hi there, does anyone else experience screen flicker after latest update? I have never had it before, but after updating it does it now and then. Is there any easy fix for it?

Hi!
I experienced flicker after the update. After an factory reset and an battery charge it was gone. Now there's none. Maybe not an easy fix but worked for me!

Guys if I remember correctly, the flicker fix

No action required. Just leave the kernel to do its job

In what application do you experience this flicker? is there a certain steps to encounter this? i haven't experience this yet. maybe a restart will help.

Grey background, white background, under lamp, in the dark. Depends, but if you don't have it or don't see it do not try to find it.
It's a big issue many threads, long threads, search but rather don't.

As i never had any flickering, i could presume it is very deep hardware fault and not a software issue, should be repaired by warranty

Uf lets do not get this down this road again....
Please do not mention hardware fault again....It has nothing to do with this matter....
It might be a hw fault, malfunction, etc. But the ota before this .11 fought against it. Meaning the flickering was minimal or gone for most of us.
Now the technical description I do not know. But in more informed threads there was written that the kernel needs time to adapt to make the flickering go away. And most ppl that had flicker pre .11 were helped in matter of hours or days.
So I believe the flickering will be gone also after some usage. Lets get back to this in few days.
And guys who have nothing better to do as to say, it might be a hardware issue, please dont. I would like if only ppl that know what the flickering is about would write in this thread.
So if you never had it, dont have it now. Please ignore this thread ok?
Thank you
Dont wanna sound arrogant or condescending Raider, but I had fights about this already in custom rom threads. I do not wanna go there again. Sorry.
Why we cant see guy problem s profile? 4 th guy with problem, but dont know his profile, I mean messeges.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod
So 10 days after the update, even though I had few reflashes, so maybe that doesnt help much, but still the flickering is still there.
Anyone else still has flickering now after a longer 4.0.4 usage and did it get better for some?
I had this before the update, then updated and waited 3 days on full brightness (i.read it has to settle with voltage or some stuff). Maybe you could try having it on full brightness? Not saying it will work & believe me, I understand your pain! Hope something works for you soon!
Keep us updated!

My HTC One X screen flickers only when on auto-brightness
Hi,
What do you mean exactly with 'screen-flicker' issues?
Different people use this description for some very different screen issues,
so I don't know if yours is severely bad or just minor...
I personally did experience some light screen flicker when the display is on auto-brightness,
the screen then has short periods where it quickly switches its brightness, and I assumed this
was normal because it's trying to adjust the brightness to the environment lighting.
This effect is easily noticed when scrolling the settings screen and is completely gone
when I deactivate auto-brightness.
maybe this can be helpful...

I have the same thing going on.. it's like the backlight voltage is going up and down real fast.. after reading tons of topics on this matter I guess a lot of you guys are experiencing it.. so where is the official statement from HTC that the update should take up to two weeks to work for the screen???

Just off with HTC after the update last week. (Stock phone not rooted) My One X has been freezing especially on Facebook and twice a day rebooting itself. Slight flickering when scrolling..All errors were logged. Soft reset and Hard reset carried out several times, but no improvement.
HTC have put a service call on it and collecting the phone Thursday.

Try flashing the RUU (this is the first thing HTC will do). It will wipe your phone, so back up. But test it before restoring.
Mine seems only to be flickering with Sense Launcher. No flickering with Nova Launcher. AND Nova is even smoother.

Can someone explain, what this flickering is? It's not similar to the 'Recent Apps'/Grey Colour is it?
I purchased a brand new HOX yesterday which had a screen flicker. The flicker was only noticed on white.
I turned the phone on and was pushed 3 software updates, one after another and thought that after the updates the screen flicker would be solved. I ended up with the 4.0.4 update and the screen flicker was still there. I did a full factory reset and the screen flicker seems to have gone.
I will keep my eye on it, because if needed I can return it for a replacement within 30 days.
Has a factory reset worked for anyone else after updating to 4.0.4?

Not that I know of. I mean that a factory reset helps.
After it was flickering for me. I decided to go and test a custom kernel. Before the only reason I couldn't go with a custom kernel was the flickering. Only on stock it didn't flicker for me.
So as it was flickering I tried faux again, and now I do not notice it anymore.
Maybe it needed time to settle, maybe the UV helped? Or that I shutdown the capacitive buttons lights? I do not know...
But it can also be the change of scenery. As I was before on another continent
you need to wait till the update settles...

Hey guys, I have had my HTC One X for two months. The screen sometimes jitters and parts of the system ui blend into each other. It happens at random times and only lasts for a second and sometimes the screen takes a long time to wake and only the capacitive lights turn on. It happens in both apps and on the home screen. This was happening on stock rom and my phone wasnt rooted. I also rooted it and flashed a custom rom and i still had the problem. I also updated the OTA to the latest release but that didnt solve the problem. Anyone have an idea on how this problem can be fixed? Thanks.

I have the same problem, the problem is near usb connector mine must take it out from the battery door
I had this problem before a few weeks ago, but a full boot.img stock reversion fixed things and I unrooted (then re-rooted) and installed the PACman ROM with the AK Kernel. Everything was fine until a few weeks later it started to lag really bad again. I'm talking the screen would hang for 5-10 seconds or just freeze completely. Earlier today I had to pull my battery about 3 times because of the freezes. I tried to install a new kernel a week ago, but that made it worse.
Why does it keep doing thing. I love the custom ROMs and the kernel tweaks, but I won't be able to use them if I go to stock...
Same thing here on complete stock 4.2.2
Been doing factory reset once a month since I got the phone in September.

You interpreted the symptoms yourself rather than just report the issue and what software combination is resulting in the issue. Its lagging but why is it lagging? "Lag" isn't a symptom its a result of something else going on deeper down.

I'm sorry, man. I didn't realize I had to report the issues exactly as I know them. I totally wouldn't resolve the problem myself if I knew what it was.
I guess you missed the part where I asked what software combination might be causing it.
Diagnosing problems you don't understand is exactly the kind of thing that makes it impossible to help someone. The phone may be right in front of you and you may know what you did but so far all you've done is tell us that:
1. Your phone lags
2. You tried a different kernel
3. You've pulled the battery
Not much to work with is it?
What CPU settings are you using?
What superuser apps?
Etc.
How much free space is on your phone? How about ram usage?

I don't know. Turning the phone on takes about 3 seconds, same with turning it off. After unlocking, it hangs for about 4 seconds. Opening Chrome takes 5-10 seconds. Pressing the home button while on any app takes 5 seconds before it gives a response.
Don't say those are regular waiting times either, before I had these problems, things would appear at the touch of a button.
I also forgot to mention that a fresh ROM install doesn't help.

"Fresh ROM install" as in you're just wiping cache and data then reinstalling?
Move on to the next step which is flashing a factory image.

I think that space is an issue. I've read that once you get below 3 or 4 gigs free, the lag begins. Supposedly, on any disk, you should keep about 20% free, which for a 16gb gnex is 3.2gig.
Edit: isn't 180ghz min pretty low? I've seen 384 as a min suggested if lagging is an issue. And i think you mean mhz.

This is why they shouldn't have gotten rid of SD cards...
I'll see if clearing out my HDD space does anything. I've had it that full for quite some time though...
I'll see if putting 384 as min fizes it.
Your device also might not be able to handle 1.4 GHz oc. While its originally a 1.5ghz processor mild imperfections in the manufacturing process result in it being sold as a (guaranteed safe at) 1.2ghz processor.
What that means is that not every phone will handle the same speeds, voltages etc. You should try running at stock speeds for testing purposes.
I have this same issue, I've tried a number of different ROMs and kernals. They all start out great, then after about a month my phone starts to get random lag, then as time goes on it gets worse and worse until I bite the bullet and start over again
Since I bought the mobile I have experienced problems with the touch (the touch is not responding properly, or ghost touchs happen). Change my phone and the same problem happens, try the phone from my cousin and brother, and the same problem happens. In normal use (navigation, internet, music, reading) is not annoying, but in the games it hurts much experience, because the touch stops responding indefinitely and acts on his own for a few seconds so I have to lock the mobile for the touch working again until the problem happens again. I've noticed that the problem occurs more frequently when the mobile is hot. Definitely not if the problem is software or hardware, because the problem happens on all phones I've tried. Maybe someone can help me, because I find no solution so far.
Also all phones I tried was : i9192
Thanks
This used to happen on my Galaxy S Advance when it was hot. Maybe it happens with all phones which are hot.

after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update. When if i use aod and use the fingerprint through the aod this doesnt happen. tried reboot and factory reset with fresh install (no backups) tried safe mode. Same thing happens.
S20 plus exynos.
Yup happening to me too (s20+ exynos). For me the time of unresponsiveness is around 1-2 seconds. Happened after the latest update.
Yes, have been facing the same issue since "ATCH" update.
Yeah has been driving me nuts. Same problem.
I'm surprised this isn't gaining more traction? Can't be the only few experiencing this!?

I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -
a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.
b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)
so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.
I am quiet sure Samsung is already addressing this issue for next update.
