May be your phone is out of ram. i can suggest you that:
- get root, disable Asus app, install Xpose and fix lollipop memory leak
or
- enable developer option and disable animation.

I m on android 5.1.1 and it doesn't have memory leak problems...and I tried other method too...it isn't working

Have you altered anything in the kernel?

Ive found I get some tiny flicker sometimes on CM12.1 01/09.

Yeh on Android 5.1.1 the screen flickers on certain apps. For me it's done it on only 1 app.
I'm not sure what all else have you don't to the phone but in my case, it's just CartonBox, it's not too bad.

[Q] CM10.1 RC5 Lock Screen bug

Okay I've searched the forum but couldn't find anything on this bug for my phone.
I've installed the new CM10.1 RC5 and it works fine until it happens that it turns off the screen like when you lock your phone but I can't get it to display anything again when I click on the "Red" phone button. I have tried restarting the phone but that didn't work, neither did it when I re-installed it. If anyone got a fix for it or just know how I can fix it myself then please help me.

I know about that and I try and try and try but it won't show anything, it's only the touch buttons that light up and off when I do it.

Hi
I follow all instructions to install this rom, and i have same problem, but i'm on RC7.
I did format my system before install jb 4.2.2, then installed kernel lge-3.0.x-p350-17-04-2013_18-53, then reboot
I wait around 5 minutes, i used it after that. I set cpu to performance, Memory Management: zRAm: 26%, KSM: enable
Problems found on lock screen: too unresponsive and sometimes doesn't responde at all.
Physical and touch buttons are also unresponsive most of the time, screen keyboard is ok.
Didn't have my language so i install morelocale 2 witch doesn't translate everything.
Any suggestions? Should i go back to cm 7.2? I try to change because of the battery, it was draining to fast!?
Thank's for your attention.
Regards

I don't have this issue, better get it checked!
Guys I observed this closely and I found that this flickering occouring oly some times and it's clearly visible only in apps when I set a white wallpaper on homescreen can't see any flickering but at same time its there in browser gallery etc and when I touch screen it disapperas and reoccur when I didn't touch display but this flickering is present only for some time not continuous. I think it's not display problem but software glitch which all of u have and u guys might not noticed it

I took it to customer care yesterday and it was funny that the guy there showed me his note 3 which also have same flickering and they said that it's normal with amoled due to voltage variation at low brightness levels.So I left customer care without replacing display:victory:
Actually I don't want them to teardown my new phone so I thought of changing display after some time if it get more worse

am using latest 4.3 update I think it's problem with Indian INU firmware will be solved by 4.4 soon guess
I did a factory reset yesterday and kept brigtness above half till now I didnt have ny flickering.
I found this on web
There seems to be a
problem where the phone has problems
deciding if the software or hardware(CPU
vs. GPU) is what should be drawing the
screen… So this indecision causes it to
switch back and forth, redraw, etc….
Over at XDA there are lots of post relating
to this problem. Below is a temporary
solution to the problem
Here are the instructions!!
Temp Fix: (until they find/fix the problem)
1. Go to settings > about phone
2. Click “build number” 6 times fast
3. You’ll see “you’re now a developer” as
a notification at the bottom.
4. Go back to settings, you’ll now see
developer options above ‘about phone’.
5. Go in developer options, and click
“disable hardware overlays” under the
drawing section
This will fix the flickering!! The problem is
with android 4.2.x, the OS gets confused
and can’t decide if the CPU or the GPU
should be drawing the screen, so it flickers
do to it switching between the CPU and
GPU real fast…
Hope this helps anyone out there
experiencing this problem, and spread the
word to anyone else you know to make it
known! Loads of people are re flashing,
returning to stock, even returning their
phones because of this bug! So spread the
word to prevent others from making this
mistake.

i dont know any fix but have you changed any thing in your phone
installed any conflicting brightness or some sort of keep device wake up kind of apps
last thing you can do is take a back up of your current states
then do a fresh install wipe every thing
that can solve your issue
coz from where i can see settings for sensor is messed up

I'm using xperia z ultra and having the same issue, had this problem on 4.4 and 4.3 but never on 4.2. I guess its a 'feature' called Content Adaptive Backlight (google it) and can't be disabled.

[Q] NEED HELP: D855 Widgets blink after screen unlock

I have issue with my widgets after unlock. Most of the time after screen unlock, widgets disappear for one or two seconds. It looks like widgets reloading from some reason. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, even flash kdz file, but still no change.
Anyone have an idea what can be root of this problem?

Same sentiments on LG G2...got ducking tired of it and switched to Nova!
It's not normal and it's the launcher. Launcher redraws do that.
If you have lots of apps running, well the launcher is "reloaded" when you go back home. Due to the nature of heavy things happening on the G3 lock screen I think this happens a lot.
Third party launchers alleviate the issue to some extent.
I also tried to edit build.prop file in system where i added ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, but it didn't help.
There must be some way, how to keep launcher in memory.
By using third party launchers i will miss some widgets.
To solve this blink issue, I use AppSetting (Xposed Module) and i select "Resident" in settings of com.lge.launcher2.
Reboot, and you're done.
This option let your phone to keep this application in RAM.
Thanks...solve my problem

What worked for me was force stop Chrome and dont use it. use a different browser. So far no redraw.

I think this blink issue already fixed by new software update release couple days ago. I face the same problem then. Now no more blink in the home screen.

[Q] How is your experience with Nougat so far?

Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?
I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.
Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.
After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone
It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.
