[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Has anyone had any flickering issues with their screens on the GSIII?

I have an ATT version GSIII. Auto brightness is turned off and for the most part the screen seems fine. It comes in nice and bright!

So I was writing a SMS and I notice a very quick screen flicker. It then did it again when I fired up Scramble with friends. It happens every now and then. Could this be a software issue? Anyone got any advice about this? Should I do a hard reset from the phone and set it back to factory? Its annoying at times so I am wondering if I was the only one with this issue.

Thanks for any advice or feed back!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stephen1125:
Mine has done that on more than one occasion. Usually in Google Chrome but it has happened in the XDA app as well.

Usually clearing out the multitasking menu makes it stop for me.

Also on an ATT S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
I just di a hard reset back to factory! I will let you know if this helps at all. Thanks for the reply! :P

Cheers...

I'm curious, does this happen on mostly white screen with the brightness up?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
No its only on about half way. I have also reset the phone and it did not seem to fix the issue. Its just annoying. I cant tell if its software (like a bug in the system.) or if it could be a hardware issue. Some others said they have noticed it but I do not find to many posts about it yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sflagg73:
I have had this issue on my SGS2 since the ICS update. Can you guys tell me if the SGS3 has the same line and blotchy screen issues as the SGS2 does in lower light and darker screen like when playing games or watching movies.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
It seems to mostly do it in the stock messaging app. I have changed my app to Go SMS Pro to test this idea. But yes I might be a normal thing. Its just a slight flicker. Its not like the screen shuts off then back on. Just flashes in front of you mostly. With auto brightness on or off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
Mine flashes in the stock messaging app also.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
I think it is the stock messaging app that makes the screen flicker. I have changed to GO SMS PRO and no flicker yet. I will keep an eye on it and report back in a few days! Also feel free to chime in! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stephen1125:
I always have my phone set to auto brightness, I don't think it ever goes fully bright. The times I've noticed the flickering was indoors in a dim room so I'm sure the brightness was very low.

The flickering appears for a second or so then goes away. Kinda like a tv when the connection is bad, black lines come across the screen and it flickers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
Mine flickered today once on Dolphin HD and, oddly, just now while I'm typing this on Tapatalk. What keyboard are you all using? I'm using SwiftKey 3. My brightness is hardly ever on auto; I feel it sets it too high.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
You know I never thought about that. I use the SwiftKey 3 also. Maybe thats the issue?

I haven't seen it all night. I switched to GO SMS PRO today. It seems to play nicely to far!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] franknozly:
my experience is that it only happens if you're typing. problem I noticed happens if you're using a different keyboard other than the stock one? I was using smarter keyboard and it occasionally flashes. But I switched back to stock keyboard and it seemed to stop flashing for the day I was using it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
For me it only happens when on the tabs page in Chrome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SSguns:
Blanks out

I don't know about flicker but I was in the middle of a call today with some annoying machine and i had to "press 1 for English" anyway, when I went to type in an actual number my whole screen went black several times while I was in the call...

Anyone else with this problem? Stock, LF9, not even a week old.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] brfield:
Never seen it, but the first thing I did was install GoSMS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tarheelsmj12001:
My screen flickers from time to time n its quite annoying lol

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
So is anyone experiencing screen flickering using the stock keyboard? I'll swap to it tomorrow and test it myself. You guy's, or gals, do the same and post back your experiences in the afternoon or evening.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
ATT has none is stock yet. I mean the good news here is its pointing to be a software issue. I like this because otherwise my phone is perfect. I disabled my stock messaging app and I have not seen the flicker sense. But its only been 24 hours. However I will keep you all posted. I still use SwiftKey 3. As I hate the stock keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Markdental:
It always happens for me when I am doing this too. Really badly!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
I'm gonna install chrome today and see if I can figure out a constant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Awesome! Let us know your finding. I am sure Samsung will send out an OTA at some point and time!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
I've noticed mine flickering here and there, not the entire screen blinking ,but like real faint lines flickering, like a tv using a antenna with bad signal, I hope it's just a software thing, I'm already having to overlook the dark black ink problem...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stephen1125:
I also use swiftkey. I installed it mere minutes after getting the phone. If it is swift key causing the flickering I think it's worth it. Best keyboard I've ever used! I can't stand the stock Keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
Yea mine flickers a lot too when using chrome inside tabs in landscape mode or using the xda app...anything with white and dark colors on display seems to trigger it, I've also noticed if I rub my finger across display it'll enhance the light flickering
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
In the display settings there's an option that's on by default that's called "auto adjust screen tone" I think it's the culprit for the screen flickering ...I disabled it and the screen seems brighter and I haven't noticed any flickering yet, fingers crossed...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Markdental:
I can confirm that this worked for me. Now lets see what effect this has on battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
Yep we will see, hopefully not much different..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Did this fix your guy's issues?

Just wondering!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
Yea it did, going on 24 hrs not 1 screen flicker..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Raver27:
I will add battery seems to take a bit of a hit with that setting disabled, but no flickering and the screen is a bit brighter , so it is what it is
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Markdental:
Ok, so I didn't like the battery hit I took, so I put the setting back. Screen flicker is still gone in chrome tabs. Anyone else get this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Mine seems to be gone after I disabled the stock messaging app. Go sms pro is awesome by the way! :-D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] franknozly:
I just restarted my phone and checked Whatsapp, BAM it flickered again even with auto adjust screen tone off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kronium:
Still getting flickering with Auto adjust and stock messaging app off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KBizzle:
Screen flickering here as well. Everyone that is having the flicker also using SwiftKey?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] difrent7:
I have the HTC Evo 4g LTE and have screen flicker as well. I know they are completely different devices but kinda odd both devices have this issue. I am jumping ship to the Galaxy S3 soon so I wanted to comment went I saw this thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
I had one and never had that issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sp0tted:
I'm also seeing this issue. I'm tracking a similiar thread over on Android Central.

I believe this issue is related to the keyboard. I'm also using SwiftKey 3. Installed it 30 seconds after I turned on the phone :-)

I love SwiftKey.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
I think it's the stock app. Not the keyboard. Ever sense I installed go sms pro the issue went away.

Sent From My Samsung Galaxy SIII
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sp0tted:
I've seen this issue in both Google Talk & Google Voice applications. It's not isolated to SMS; at least not for me.

Another user over at the Android Central forums reported the flickering in the Tapatalk app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] outz:
i noticed it after i ran a debloater and loaded someones tether app via cwm. i restored from my backup, debloated manually, have yet to add the tether hack via cwm... so far no flashing (been a week)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] illCrizzee:
hey guys, i had the same issue noted with the messaging apps.. (mms & facebook messenger & others) but by installing the stock ICS keyboard from this forum, ive been able to get rid of all screen flicker. so i'm guessing this is a fix for the broken samsung keyboard loaded onto our SGS3's

In chrome when I am I the tabs I get an occasional flicker. And if I am in landscape chrome and switch the phone 180 degrees to the other landscape, it will flicker

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cuhrazy:
I guess the one x just got an update that fixed screen flickering.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shugga101:
I have experienced this screen flicker as well. I made another thread a while back about this issue. I use swiftkey 3 and I notice this flicker in the stock messaging app. I've used the keyboard in other things, like internet browsing and other messaging apps and I haven't noticed a flicker, so I want to go with saying its the messaging app.

Side note: Since we are talking about screens, has anyone's screen stayed on for a long period of time after receiving a notification? For example, I would get a text message (auto screen off is set to 30 seconds and smart stay is turned off) and the screen turns on. Well when I'm at work I don't get on my phone so when I receive a text the screen stays on until I go on break, which is for however long in between the notification and when I get on break to check my phone. Today it must of racked up to 5 hours screen on time (1 hour probably from me using it).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
I am pretty sure it's SwiftKey- that seems to be the one thing we all have in common.

I have used SwiftKey and GoSMS from day one, so I seriously doubt it's the stock messaging app. I have had the auto-adjust tone setting off since day one. I also have experienced this commonly regardless of brightness setting.

I suggest we email the SwiftKey developers and link this thread, since it's so prevalent.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] franknozly:
^ wrong... I don't use SwiftKey and it happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mrmako777:
glad to see this isnt just me. mine flickers occasionally too, although nothing specific triggers it. using smart keyboard pro, handcent, dolphin browser and have disabled "auto adjust screen tone"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjc_01:
Verizon nexus is a little bit different, you definitely can't flash the same software as the GSM model unless you want a sweet brick. I think rootzwiki had a port going that worked well for the Verizon GNex.

Yeah I ended up getting the stock one because the one I posted before installed but I could not get any service. Thanks for pointing me to the stock rom.

ppl have reported issues when using CWM touch recovery... files not sticking when flashed, there blaming some of the bootloops on cwm touch, etc... i use optimus prime and have had no flashing issues. though i have successfully "dirty flashed" this rom overtop of vicious i would still recommend a full wipe when coming from any other ROM as there will be less room for confusion:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fordmanck:
I had the exact same issue last night. I flashed back to this after having some issues originally with it on Saturday locking up and had to restore. Last night I rebooted because I wasn't getting text messages I knew I should be, got the Google screen as well. After screwing with it for over an hour, wiping and wiping and super wiping and flashing this ROM, it booted, right back where it was with all my data entact. I'm going to factory restore today and flash CM9 back until an AOSP ROM comes out and people figure out wtf is going on with the /data mounting and not mounting when it feels like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfriend33:
I'm confused. My phone was stuck at Google on v7. Had no major issues before today. So I wiped data factory reset, flash v8. Loads after a battery pull,

FWIW according to the dev/modder in the RW thread, there won't be a v6 outside of the IRC channel, the next will be v7 although according to him "[a] lot of it is going to be in the goodies, although booting, wakelocks, gps, and some other stuff is fixed."

I did it via TWRP 2.1.2 with no problems, but as always there's no guarantees.
