Screen Flicker

So, I just bought the tablet today, and I really like it, minus a rather strange issue.
I read about the firmware update to .29 that would resolve the screen flickering issue, but when running the firmware update out of the box I am now on .30, and the screen still flickers.
I have played around with settings and such, but I haven't found a way to get rid of the flickering, even on the latest firmware. Is there a way to resolve this? Perhaps flashing the .29 firmware when in recovery, and if so how do I do that?

And it is not just specifically the "flicker from the left side of the left side of the screen" issue. It seems to happen all over the place, it is really noticeable in the app drawer, all the icons flicker like the image is unstable.

Hi, I just got mine as well. I had some weird flickering issues which I managed to get rid of by turning off the auto-brightness setting. HTH.

No that didn't help...in fact that seemed to make it worse. I am starting to wonder if its a hardware defect. I do have two weeks to exchange it.

Try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work return it for an exchange.

I actually did that last night. Still the same thing. Must be an actual hardware defect. I assume other TF300 users do nit have this issue?

Problem solved! They gave me a full refund!

Help, my phone is being dumb!?

My phone keeps freezing and the screen does not respond to touches until I turn the phone in standby and back on. The camera app always freezes too, usually when it's on low battery. Also the touch screen sometimes messes up. I touch the screen and it still thinks my finger is touching the screen when it's not, so the screen gets stuck.
I'm sending it in for repair, because I have problems with the power button, which completely died on me. Is there anything I can do to fix the touch screen issues? Or should I just throw the phone out. I'm tired of all the problems it's giving me.
Thanks

My gf is having the same trouble with her atrix. Seems to be a common issue on this phone, caused by a dyingdigitizer.

[Issue] [Daylight] [Touch screen sensitivity lost]

Hi,
I have been using ICS rom (various flavours) and noticed an odd thing while unlocking the screen to use the homescreen during daylight.
As soon as i unlock it (whether stock unlock screen or magiclocker) the touch sensitivity goes for a toss.. if i click on dialer icon, the click doesnt get recognized and few seconds later "delete to recyclebin" option is shown on the clicked icon.. and the whole touch screen becomes unresponsive..
There is no complete way to come out of this situation.. one workaround is lock the screen again by pressing power key and then unlock it..few times.. . Worst case, kill all apps and reclaim memory.. and lock and unlock again.. but the issue appears out of nowhere when we want to use the phone on urgent purposes.. like calling someone or picking up a call..
For this reason, i downgraded my phone to gingerbread ZSLE6 and with ardatdat kernel 1.8.3, this issue is still there.
I dont know if this issue is reported earlier or a known issue. Searched the forum and got no results on our forum for SGR.
Kindly share if someone of you have seen it and if there are any workarounds for the same.
Another note is: This issue appears only in daylight.. and in outdoors when sun is shining.. but never came across when at home..!!
Thanks..

Could your hands be sweaty? From my experience water or sweat interferes with the touch screen...

It's sweat for sure!

Zsle6 with 1.8.1 kernel..u ll never face this prob..

Buddy sweaty hands or q dirty screen guard are the reason 110% sure.
I was having this problem when i had a clear screen guard for my SGR.
Someone suggested me a matte screen guard and now the problem of frequent beserk screen has gone down by 95%.
Try wiping the screen before you use it and do not use dirty/wet hands
That makes the screen operate as if some ghost is operating it.
Touch something..something else happens

Buddy where did u get matte screen guard from for our device?

Even i wanted to know.if possible not on ebay..i don't have a card

Hi folks .
Actually I dry my thumb before I touch the screen! (Rub my thumb with pant ).
But somehow I have seen the entire touch screen area becomes unresponsive even when everything looks dry. What I do is I lock and wipe entire screen off and retry but same issue.
At house or in office indoors touch has no issues at all.
looks like touch on bright sunlight behaves odd on my phone. Let me go to kernel 1.8.1 and check.
btw, why 1.8.1 is better than 1.8.3 ?

Haahahahah...
Actually what happened..even i did not get the matte for my SGR..
Then i came up with this brilliant idea of using the matte guard of SGS2
Because the screen size is almost the same..everything is JUST THE SAME.
So the shopkeeper used the Matte guard..and just cut off like a tiny bit from the centre button (cuz our centre button is slightly bigger than that of the SGS2)
so you can use SGS2's matte guard It works awesomely No such touch issues faced yet..its been a month now..No matter how wet sticky dirty my hands are

ICS screen touch calibration?

Where can you set the touch screen calibration in ICS? I can't find it and mine seems a bit off target.

you can't cause there isn't. Neither was on gb. The reason is that capacitative screens don't calibrate so basically you can't calibrate it. So if your screen is off target you have to call the devil (lg) service center and let them fix it by replacing (most likely) the screen. But first I'd try another firmware.

Yes i can.
Without screen protector it's better but it has lag and this problem.
i used three different screen protectors but i think it depends on hardware.

Did this happen when you first got the phone
