Random lines appearing on display.

I see this too, from time to time. My girlfriend and I have had 5 devices between us before getting one each without separation. I think pretty much all of them had this, often just after switching the screen on. Not a huge issue, once a day or so, but does happen a fair bit...

 

Same here. I have maybe about one every minute. It's really only noticeable on textual content like Google currents though

 

There's a thread on XDA about it, and a fix as well. Seems to have something to do with the WiFi antenna connection on the back of the case. I'll try to see if I can find it later tonight.

 

I flashed motleys kernel and they are gone

 

I started noticing these lines about a week ago. Not often, maybe a couple a day that I see. Mine's stock/unrooted. Between the screen separation (which I've lived with) and now the lines, I'm wondering if I should contact Google for a replacement.

 

[fix] An easy way to solve the screen flicker with just a scotch tape

Don't use scotch tape, use electrical tape. Fix takes less than 2 minutes to apply
MIGHT have to use more than one layer, but most people don't. Also, several custom kernels (like _motley's) fix this on the software side.

 

This isn't a screen flicker issue though. For me it's random lines appearing across the screen for a split second. I've noticed them in various apps so it doesn't seem to be app specific.

 

My bad.. I was under the impression this thread (that I posted) was fixing the one-line random flicker.. that's at least what it seemed like they were talking about on the thread, but as I've not had a stock kernel on this thing long enough to experience any of those issues, I really don't know.. Might be worth giving it a shot anyways/just in case.


Most kernels come packaged for CWM. If you're rooted, you're most likely running CWM. Just flash the latest (6.0.0.6) CWM, then flash the kernel of your choice the same way.
