I have an Asus TF700 android tablet running Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
When I play games, use apps or just use the tablet even in the play store, the screen will occasionally flicker (i.e. a small part of the screen in the game/app will slightly move and "flicker").
I'm using the "stretch to fill screen" setting. I tried the other setting to no avail.
I took the tablet to the lab and was told that this is a software related issue.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Gali.

I have this when I'm reading PDFs in Repligo or Mantano -- doesn't matter in which program. Might be a driver issue. Haven't noticed it in the games we play on the 700, but then I do not game all that much and my 4-year-old son will probably totally miss out on the glitch.
I am not sure if this is related, but have you guys tried this: Setting -> ASUS customized Setting -> uncheck Enable smart backlight adjuster?

Hmmm
Haven't even thought about that.
Does this do away with the screen bugs?

I don't know, I am just throwing out suggestions. On the tf700, there is this feature called "Smart dimmer", which acts like a second auto-brightness , changing the screen brightness based on the content of the page being display and causes the screen to flicker a lot. Can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks for the suggestion but I already tried that before I took the tablet to the lab and it didn't help.
Well, anything automatic causes bugs. That's a given. So it could indeed be the light adjusters.
Also, are you running in performance or balanced mode whilst playing those games? Try changing it to the other, some games have problems with performance mode.
Another option is a factory reset.

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now it's running on balanced mode.
I did a factory reset and it's better than before but it still happens from time to time.
Hello. Try to enable "Settings"-"Developer options"-"Disable HW overlays".

With all due respect, no. I think that would do more harm than good. I'd rather have battery left. Reference, for example: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28977-disable-hardware-overlays/ -- from which I will quote directly:
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping. Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled."
and
"Disable it and the latency period for applications and the OS (any OS, not just Android) itself to render things will go way way up because it has to check to make sure it's not screwing with memory that is supposed to be dedicated to another task than its own. Hardware overlay ensures everyone has their own partition of memory so they don't have to do those checks and so latency to render things on the screen decreases dramatically."
From that, your suggestion doesn't seem like a good idea to me. But that's just me.

I've tried all your ideas before -- I have noticed it on every ROM I've tried so far, although it's the least noticeable on stock, and then CleanROM. It was prominent on BlackBean, but that was an early version (although I believe it remains one of the less mature ROM -- correct me if I'm wrong).

You're right in suggesting to disable it, and that's one of the first things I do when on a stock(-based) ROM. Therefore, unlikely to be the issue here.
Thanks for thinking along, everybody! Maybe it is just a driver thingy, or an API?
This is a well-known JellyBean-specific issue. So far, there is nothing that can be done to fix it (unless the latest OTA update addresses it)...

It is definitely fixed my problem with flickering in ScummVM (part of the screen was slightly moving). Can't see any negative effect till now. I think i'll stay with it as current solution.
Well here's my two cents to this: I've found that my screen mostly flickers when I'm playing music through my headphones in particular through Spotify. I've rechecked a couple of times and definitely noticed no flicker over a reasonable period while my tablet is silent and spotify is off.
Ive noticed when i dont use my tablet i dont get the flicker OR the black line at all!!!
/sarcasm
Yeah.... the things we put up with......
I thought I was the only one with flickering game problems but I see a few people have it too lol well that puts me at ease. But any fix for this?

It's a nvidia driver issue so unless they update the graphics drivers it's unlikely you will see a fix. Some have it worse than others it would seem. I rarely see any lines or flashes. Make sure you turn smart dimmer off as well in the ASUS Customised settings.

lovey,
Is "Force GPU rendering" selected down in: settings/Developer options/Force GPU rendering/ selected?
This might help some with any game that's compatible with the setting.
The issue has been happening for a few months. I've reinstalled CM 11 several times and whenever I replay Instagram videos sound work but the screen only shows the original still image. It works fine using any stock ROM and always has.
Could someone help me fix this? Thanks!
Maybe go with another rom?

I've been using CM11 since it came out and never had a problem with instagram or any other apps.
are you sure it's the rom?

yeah it is, I've went to several CM 11 nightlies throughout the weeks and the issue is persistent and only with CM 11. been though lots of other ROMs too without the problem.
basically, when replaying a vid on IG the screen looks frozen but the sound it still playing like normal.
Anyone, some say it's related to how CM11 relates to video apps with webview in the default browser. I would even know where to start :/
Someone got a fix?
I am not sure if this problem is exclusive to onePlus one but the google play music lock screen widget doesnt recognise my touch properly. I often have to tap 10 times for my touch to register. I enabled visual feedback for touches and can see that the OS is registering my touch. I dont understand why this is not reaching the widget.
I am adding a short screencast that shows the problem.
I assume you've updated to O5Q then? Mine was fine until I did it and now it never works. The touchscreen is perfect otherwise.

Yes I'm running version 11.0-XNPH05Q. Is this a known bug?
As far as I know but there seem to be some that don't have the problem. I certainly do.

Is it possible that you have YouTube with resolution optimization on Boost+? Because in my case, for instance, if I set the resolution optimization for Samsung Internet Browser (Beta), it becomes unable to go full screen with its built-in video player.

Thanks for the reply
So what should I do?
I tried one thing
I remove the update from the play store
Its work fine now
Any body facing this problem?
I'm also having this problem, it started happening after the last couple of Youtube update. I tried clearing cache and rebooting many times. Guess we have to just wait till Google start getting their ****s together.
I Update The youtube to the last update
Then the problem come again ?
So I remove it until we get solution for silly problem.
still problem not solve
Not sure if this is the place to ask, but as the title says i'm having bad desync issues with HBO Go only. Tryed turning the Xperia sound & video enhancement features on/off but that dit fix anything.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Mine doesn't have the desync issue. But can't make it stretch to full screen.
