I have had a stuck pixel for a long time but that does not bother me that much. What is worrisome is that when backlight is set at 0 through rootdim and when first unlocking for a few seconds, there is a white line that runs right through the stuck pixel. Is this bad? Any ways to fix it or the stuck pixel? I have tried all the apps that flash a bunch of colors

Pixel related issues like you're explaining are usually a hardware malfunction. No amount of software you throw at it will fix.
Someone else will likely pipe up if I am wrong.

I understand. I am more curious about what caused it than how to fix it

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue..
When I'm on the homescreen and not even holding the phone, it will mysteriously slide to the screen on the far left on its own?
Anyone else having similar behavior?
I'm temp rooted on visionary and running 7 homescreens..

Not sure if it's the same thing but it was reported in G2 forums many times. What happens is the light will hit trackpad at just the right angle for it to register and move. If it happens again, try moving the phone to a different spot and observe it. If you see the same behaviour - you may have a defective unit and may need to exchange it.
Good luck.
When exiting the stock Froyo Car Dock (I prefer this to the T-Mo version), my phone will almost always jump directly into the 'Expose' window mode of the five home screens, without hitting the home button or touching the trackpad. It's probably not related, but it does appear to be a strange glitch.
As for your exact problem: I haven't seen it happen with mine yet. Good luck.
It does sometimes to me. I thought im trippin.

Ah that very well could be the issue! I'll mess with it over the next few days and try to narrow it down. It never occurred to me the trackpad light sensor could be throwing it off..Thanks alot!

lol I thought I was too..it was driving me insane.i kept looking down like wtf, i know I was on home..
So, I was listening to Google Music, playing Words With Friends, and all of a sudden my phone's screen went a little crazy. Wish I could have grabbed a screen shot, but the best I can describe it as is it got "blurry" or "fuzzy" looking. I was able to click and go to other apps, but the screen was still not right. I managed to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? My first instinct is to take it back to AT&t and try to get a replacement, but I don't want to take any drastic action if this is something that is already a known issue (thought I couldn't find any posts about it) and might be fixed in an update, or if it could have just been a fluke...
What would you guys do? Everything else about the phone is fine (working wi-fi, no light bleed, etc.) so i'd hate to get a replacement that has issues, but at the same time if i'm going to keep getting this issue every so often, I'd rather replace it...hmmm, what to do???
I would try getting a replacement but good luck getting one with the current apple law suit.

had a similar "screen" experience when i tried to use Ivona Voice for TTS. when i selected Ivona Voice as my TTS option, the screen would move up and down like i was scrolling up and down. i removed and reinstalled the app only to see the same behavior. i removed the app and have not had any screen issues since then.
fyi, my phone is rooted and i'm using the 1.82 RUU.
I get the odd graphical glitch using the stock keyboard. Pretty random sometimes

My first hox had a graphical glitch whenever i used google maps. Best to exchange it.
I think I'm going to try and exchange it. No sense settling for a phone that might be defective.

I noticed after using the camera on the black and white setting, gTalk was stuck in black and white until I quit and restarted it. It only happened once and I've been unable to duplicate it.
I'm wondering if this might actually be a problem with android 4 and sense 4. I have noticed the weird graphical issues but have never been able to duplicate them. I came from the HTC evo 3d and was rooted running newts HTC one port. On that phone I was having the same issues. Screen flashing randomly while texting and a couple other weird things. Just a thought to chew on

I'd I end up exchanging it, does anyone know if Zagg will give me a replacement screen protector under their lifetime guarantee policy?

This is 99% likely not a phone issue and is software related. Too many people immediately returning phones without thinking or investigating. This may be free to do and is your right to do but it just drives up costs for everyone in the long run. Just my two cents.
Edit: sorry, I know you are trying to investigate now...I'm mainly referring to the peeps that always instinctively recommend exchanges.

I've search high and low but it seems like any thread related to this was closed when the forums were split up. In any case, please report any screen flicker issues here and what keyboard you might be using and whether or not you're rooted. I bought this phone new and had a screen flicker before I rooted it. I figured it might be software related so I rooted and installed another ROM. I still notice it from time to time when typing. I don't think this flicker will ever go away. I'm now on CM10 and still notice the problem. I've been using Swiftkey from the start but I'm not sure yet if that's what causing it.
Thanks to TechSavvy2, I think this problem has been fixed.

Not sure what it does, but you will need to tick the same option every time you reboot if you're on CM10 official at least(I can't speak for the other AOSP ROMs.)
You got a screen flicker BEFORE you did anything to your phone tho? That's the first I've heard of the flicker anywhere except an AOSP ROM. Hmmm. And was/is it only when you used Swiftkey? If so, gotta be some conflict between Swiftkey and our phones. (I really don't care for swiftkey since it doesn't have any kind of swipe option. I use Touchpal, which is pretty good on the autocorrect/predictions especially for a freebie)
I've also had the screen flicker on my phone since I activated it. I am on stock touchwiz and the thing that kepts it from occuring every time i opened the keyboard was installing thumb keyboard. I really wish Samsung would send a fix sometime in the near future. I am hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware.

Ya, I know for a fact, I had the flicker before I rooted or even changed the bootloader. I've tried every rom out there and still have a real bad flicker every now and then. It does go away when I turn hw overlays off but by turning it off I can't use SwiftKey which really bites. Isn't this an indication its software related?
And I'm not sure if it's just SwiftKey related. I guess, I'll experiment with the other keyboard to test.
By any chance could it be kernel related?

It happened to my GF's S3, lets call this S3 A, screen fickers and with series of lines vertically, phone freezes, had to do hard boot, then the battery dropped to 3% instantly. We think it's the battery, lucky us, we have another S3, we'll call this S3 B, in which has no flickering issue, and we exchange the battery and the flickering did not happen on S3 A anymore but it did happen to S3 B in which has no flickering issues at all from the start.
And we noticed the S3 A battery is beginning to bloat (it is getting fatter than the battery of S3 B) maybe due to wear and tear or over charging.
So our conclusion, the battery is culprit, we've replaced it and we'll observe for about a week.
I can also experience flickering and very crappy battery life. Guess I need to buy a new batter then? I don't want to waste money if changing batter doesn't work so please tell me if I should buy or not.
Hi Everyone,
I seem to have random clicks on my screen every couple of minutes. I sent my tablet to ASUS for repair and got it back today, hoping the problem would be solved, however it seems that the problem still exists.
This problem gets annoying when watching a video on YouTube or any video player. Plus when using the on screen keyboard, sometime random letters will be pressed.
I would like to know, is there any way I can fix this and is anyone else having a problem similar to mine?
From what I've read, the majority of Infinity devices have this issue. It has to do with the adhesive used to secure the screen. My device has this problem as well but I've learned to ignore it because the click is barely audible and does not affect anything else on or in my Infinity.

I had this problem on my first unit to the point of making the tablet unusable. It was opening random apps and pressing random keys non-stop. I wasn't aware that this was a wide-spread problem.

I know, but sometime its just annoying. I sent it back to ASUS, hoping they might do something about it. Its worse when I browser the play store. Cause it will never let me read app details, youtube video might open, images or sometimes app permissions. Plus this issue is only happening on the right half of my screen.

I think Joe miss read the OPs question. Joe I believe was talking about when you press down on the bezel how it will creek and click which seems to affect quite a few xda members.
I for one have yet to experience random apps opening/tablet being posesed. What has been done other then rma? I woukd suggest the op apply a factory reset an start feom scratch.

Factory reset has been done like 3 times. ASUS says, it might be a problem with the digitizer. Hence had to RMA again. During the first RMA, all they did was a factory reset and my tablet was away for 3 weeks (what a waste of time).
Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum thread, but recently having lots of problem with my N5.
i have a 32GB N5, when I use LTE & Location on the road, it heats up, the screen starts flickering and eventually, gets to a point when I don't see anything, I have to wait for it to cool down, turn off from recovery by guessing and after 15-20-30 mins, it will be back to Normal. Is this an issue with N5 or is it just with mine.
I bought it from Craigslist, so I do not have any warranty info. not sure if I can get it replaced.
I have used many many different ROMs on my N5, it was unlocked & I rooted it. Currently I am running stock rooted with Faux kernel with Gravitybox for customizations.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Dhaval.
From the way it is described it is way more than just software especially with screen flickering clearly this isn't an issue with every nexus 5 or Google would have addressed it immediately.. I would restore back to complete stock and see if it still does it. Too bad you bought it from some guy off craigslist, he probably knew about the problem and just didn't RMA it.
There is a Q&A forum.
Do you get some weird colored lines sort of like TV static also? Randomly, my phone does this every so often and I'm somewhat worried about it.
It only occurs in apps, on the home screen it doesn't occur.

A stock Nexus 5 should be pretty well protected from over heating. I would recommending restoring the factory firmware to see if it fixes the problem. If it is still over heating then it probably needs a visit to service.

ElementalX kernel might be making it funny. I'll go back to stock kernel first and see.

if i were you, i would download the Google N5 Image from their servers and wipe your device clean
before knowing is for sure its hardware related, i would rule out all signs of software issues first
