My screen starts to flicker at random times and then sometimes stays blank, with only the menu and back buttons lighting up when pressed. In some cases I can press the power button and get back to unlock screen but at other times I have to keep the power button in until it shuts down.

I tried disabling and uninstalling as many apps as possible, clearing the ram, closing all running programs, the OS is up to date etc.

It occurs more often when using S Note, but even after closing S Note the screen may continue to flicker after showing the home screen or settings page.

It is unfortunately so random, that I can't catch it on camera in time, except when it does go totally blank of which I have a video.

I am also sure it will not show itself when taking it to a service centre. I can't trigger it at will and when it does occur I can't stop it (unless I try to capture it on video with my phone ;-)

Anyone having this issue or know how to find out if its a specific app that cause this?
